6. Was Nick Nolte trying to sell his house, and could not find any buyers. - Instead, Nick does arson, ao he can get insurance money. - I hope this is not the case, however, in this bad economy, this scenaro could be a possibility.

Nick Nolte was not getting those movie deals. He had to do something.

7. "Electrical malfunction" translated out of Nolte-ese -- Fell asleep smoking after downing two bottles of Scotch.
