35. I'm the boss, Michael.

36. What you had belongs to me!

37. - Even the girl I loved? - What's mine is mine.

38. What's yours is mine!

39. Ohh!

40. Well... this is mine too, Sally.

41. Now you can have it.

42. - Vaffancul'! - Noooo!

43. Fuck Ben Kingsley. Danny Baldwin took him to fuckin' acting school.

44. Very well directed, Morgan.

45. I think there's potentially more money in this

46. - than in the porn we've done. - So what do we think?

47. - We need the extra scene or not? - I like it the way it is.

48. I don't know, Chrissy. These audiences today love blood.

49. I tend to agree with Carlo.

50. I'm thinkin' one more sexy kill.

51. When Michael follows Centrella to the strip club,

52. what if he chop up one of the women?

53. Who, as fate would have it,

54. was at one time Sally Boy's mistress.

55. Two extra shoot days at a minimum.

56. Kid, if it buys us a bullshit theatrical release

57. I'd have to get more money from Tony.

58. I want this fuckin' thing out there. Yeah, T, what's up?

59. - You talk to the guy with the air mattresses? - I'm in editing.

60. We just saw the cut of Cleaver.

61. - And? - Awesome as is.

62. The lawyer called, though, we might have to change the title.

63. The Eldridge Cleaver estate, they want an injunction.

64. Listen, you wanna see some of it,

65. we're finishin' the ADR after lunch.

66. What's that again?

67. Sound dubbing.

68. Just call this dispatcher, huh?

69. It's a holiday weekend. Thousands of people be out at the beach.

70. I'm on it.

71. He comin' down?

72. Please. He don't give two shits about production.

73. It's a little boring, I gotta say.

74. I mean, that was surprising to me.

75. Mr. Sacrimoni, how are you today?

76. Isn't that for you to tell me?

77. I wish I had better news.

78. Based on the latest pictures,

79. the cancer has continued to metastasize from the lungs.

80. We now show masses in the mediastinal lymph nodes,

81. both kidneys, and the brain.

82. The headaches.

83. So, the, uh

84. lobectomy,

85. radiation, the goddamn chemo

86. what was all that, for kicks?

87. Those were our options at the time.

88. And now what are our options?

89. Limited, to the extent that I wouldn't recommend any.

90. At this point we're looking at Stage 4 small cell carcinoma of the lungs.

91. - And there's no Stage 5. - That's correct.

92. How long?

93. Difficult to say. I have seen miracles over the years...

94. Forget the miracles.

95. Three months.

96. Give or take.

97. Thank you for your candor.

98. We have a plane back to Springfield.

99. How ya doin', John?

100. It's funny.

101. Ironic. Whichever.

102. I got here,

103. I quit smokin' after 38 years,

104. exercised, ate right.

105. And for what?

106. Even still,

107. it was the right move.

108. 100 degrees again,

109. for the afternoon high temperature

110. in Springfield...

111. Oh, here's my girl.

112. - How are you, sweetie? - Mmm.

113. - Hey, Dad. - Hi.

114. Hmm. Sit down.

115. What did Rosen say?

116. How's the hotel? You all settled in?

117. It... it's fine.

118. How are you, angel? You look beautiful.

119. I'm good. Eric sends his love.

120. That's nice.

121. John. What about Rosen?

122. I don't know. I

123. I don't know, sweetie, I'm

124. I'm very, very sick.

125. Oh, my God.

126. Alright. Don't cry.

127. Don't cry. You don't have to make it any harder than it is, huh?

128. No physical contact, please.

129. - I love you, John. - I love you too, sweetie.

130. - Daddy. - I know. I know.

131. - It's all right. - Ladies.

132. No contact.

133. Alright.

134. You come back,

135. you see me again tomorrow, we have more time, huh?

136. Yeah.

137. Could I bum one of those?

138. It's casual, though, right?

139. It's your cousin's movie premiere.

140. We should dress accordingly.

141. It's what they call a cast and crew screening.

142. It's in the city, Tony,

143. with an after-party at some rooftop bar

144. in the Meatpacking District... that place is very chic now.

145. Meat packers? I'm a happily married man!

146. I'm telling you, it's not dress-up.

147. - Speaking of dress-up, - Christopher told me

148. Kelli is having her wedding dress made into an outfit

149. - for the baby to be christened in. - Ohhh, sweet.

150. You all right?

151. You taking a date to the screening?

152. If I can meet a normal guy, maybe.

153. I heard that.

154. What, Finn wasn't normal?

155. I don't intend to discuss Finn.

156. What about that guy in your MCAT review?

157. Oh, please. He's completely fixated on his O-Chem final.

158. Well, he wants to be a doctor. Tell him it's educational.

159. There's body parts all over this movie.

160. Screw the movie. I just wanna hang with celebs.

161. Why? You think you're gonna

162. - get to sleep with Paris Hilton? - What? No.

163. Stop fidgeting and eat your noodles.

164. - I don't want this. - Where are you going?

165. The bathroom. Jesus!

166. - Meow. - You two have a fight?

167. I don't know.

168. Keep an eye on his temp,

169. and we'll finish out the week on the Ceftin.

170. You rest now. I'll see you in the morning.

171. He should be on Heparin.

172. Excuse me?

173. Listen to him. Check his ABG.

174. I'm gonna have to ask you again to not interfere, Warren.

175. I'm gonna change your sheets.

176. So what are you, the world's smartest orderly?

177. These days I am.

178. Twenty-two years of practicing,

179. oncologist specializing in cancers of the liver.

180. Roll to your right, please.

181. Let me spare us the awkwardness.

182. I killed my wife.

183. Not that it's any justification,

184. but I had reason to suspect

185. she was cheatin' on me with her chiropractor.

186. - Jesus. - Granted,

187. I was abusing cocaine at the time,

188. and alcohol, but came home one day,

189. shot her four times.

190. Twice in the head.

191. I killed her aunt, too.

192. I didn't know she was there. Roll over, please.

193. And the mailman.

194. At that point, I had to fully commit.

195. Why are you here exactly?

196. I've been accused of being part of a certain Italian-American subculture.

197. Hey, I know who you are.

198. I meant what's wrong with ya?

199. Oh. Lungs.

200. I've been wanting to meet you, actually.

201. I saw you on Bill Curtis.

202. - Warren Feldman. - John Sacrimoni.

203. Good to know ya.

204. I take it you've done chemo, huh?

205. Twice.

206. Mind if I take a look at your chart?

207. What about Gunga Din?

208. Gupte? Fuck 'im.

209. Oh, you're seeing Rosen.

210. They let me fly to Cleveland.

211. My expense. You know him?

212. I saw him speak once

213. at an ASCO conference in Georgia.

214. Good man.

215. But?

216. Actually, very few people know this,

217. but he really can't walk on water.

218. What was his prognosis?

219. Three months.

220. With the treatment you've had?

221. What do you mean?

222. You got a window of one to three years.

223. What about the metastasis?

224. Two rounds of Paraplatin, docetaxel and Platinol,

225. concurrent with radiation?

226. Come on, any cancer inside you has slowed to a crawl.

227. Why is he so fuckin' negative?

228. We tell the patients three months, he lives a year

229. who looks like a hero?

230. Huh.

231. I'll see you around, John. You take it easy.

232. Hang in there.

233. Oh, fuck me!

234. Tony. Morning.

235. You got a sec?

236. As I told you, my partner and I are with the Joint Terror Task Force now.

237. You're around Port Newark often enough.

238. We're concerned about what might come through there from the Middle East.

239. - Yeah, and...? - Let's talk terror funding.

240. Most of it comes about through illegal enterprise.

241. Our pitch is this, and it's the same we gave Christopher Moltisanti

242. maybe he never mentioned it.

243. If you or any of your people ever heard of anything going down...

244. Middle Easterners, Pakistanis

245. you'd be helping us a lot if you, uh... you let us know.

246. I think there's a word for that.

247. Your daughter takes pre-med classes in New York.

248. She use the tunnels?

249. Just somethin' to keep in mind.

250. That's the last time I'm goin' down for the paper!

251. You tell that fuckin' Polack to get here early and bring up the paper with her,

252. or she can go clean somebody else's fuckin' toilets!

253. What happened?

254. It's too dangerous. Has been for years.

255. May I have your attention, please.

256. May I have your attention?

257. Welcome to the premiere of Cleaver,

258. the story of a young man who goes to pieces,

259. then manages to find himself again.

260. In all seriousness, however,

261. I'd like to say a few words.

262. Much like a child, a film has many parents

263. that is to say, many individuals

264. who act like parents,

265. or that, by aversion,

266. the film is their baby.

267. I, as an executive producer, am one of those individuals.

268. Two more examples are here with me tonight.

269. Ladies and gentlemen, my co-E.P. Christopher Moltisanti,

270. and our director, Morgan Yam.

271. Yeah. Hey.

272. Um... I know you're all psyched to see the movie,

273. so I'm not gonna give a big speech here.

274. I just wanna give a shout-out

275. to the man who, without him,

276. this whole thing would be impossible.

277. Where is he?

278. Anthony Soprano, everybody.

279. All right, Ton'!

280. Once he came on board, the whole thing fell together.

281. And, uh, all the other investors too,

282. plus my wife Kelli and our new baby.

283. I love you guys.

284. Okay, then. Cell phones off,

285. and hope you like the movie.

286. Whoo-hoo-hoo!

287. You don't know what? He's a fuckin' rat!

288. - But we can't really prove it. - Oh, so you're gonna argue - with me now?

289. No, it's just, I mean, he's practically like your own son.

290. I'm sorry, Sally, I think you oughta give him a pass.

291. I didn't ask you what you fuckin' think.

292. Motherfuckin' son of a...

293. That's you.

294. - No. - No, it is.

295. You find where this pezzanovante is,

296. and you bring him to the butcher shop.

297. They're gonna find pieces of this kid all over fuckin' Canarsie!

298. Yeah?

299. - I'm sure he's fine, sweetie. - You gotta relax.

300. But for Michael to have not called?

301. The wedding's in two days!

302. Who? The Guatemalan? What time is he gonna be there?

303. I hate to say this, but the truth is, he ain't good enough for you.

304. I mean, he's a good kid.

305. What you need is a man.

306. Tell him to put it in the trunk.

307. Shhh!

308. You know how long I've been waitin' to do that?

309. Dad, that was neat at the end.

310. The creepy figurine and the crucifix?

311. I'm glad you caught that, Alexandra. Very observant.

312. The sacred and the profane.

313. There's a ton of people wearing T-shirts here.

314. - I told you. - Is it so horrible you look nice?

315. I'm starving.

316. I need to eat something already.

317. I asked you if you wanted popcorn.

318. - You want me to make you a plate? - Yeah.

319. - What? - What?

320. I'll give ya what. C'mere.

321. The fuckin' boss, down in the cellar?

322. White bathrobe? Where'd you get that?

323. I dunno. Artistic choice.

324. Seriously, though,

325. I'm very proud.

326. Whatever else happens, you made a movie, Christopher.

327. Nobody can take that away.

328. Hundred years from now, we're dead and gone,

329. people'll be watchin' this fuckin' thing.

330. Ya know how much Imperia Vodka I scored

331. just from this party alone?

332. I had a coupla cases put down in your car, T.

333. Look at this.

334. The family of early man.

335. And... great. Okay, thank you.

336. Hey, Danny boy.

337. Danny, c'mere. Take a picture with us.

338. - Hey, boys, how are ya? - Phil Leotardo.

339. Larry and I hung out at the set.

340. I don't know if you know this, but the actors, they don't make up what they say.

341. - It's true. Even De Niro, the girl told me. - The script girl.

342. - Lorenzo Barese? - How ya doin', my friend?

343. You gettin' enough to eat?

344. Bryan Rawley, U.S. Marshals Service.

345. Terms of your bail confine you to your home, sir.

346. - Say hello to Danny? - Yeah.

347. - Larry! - Call the fuckin' lawyer!

348. Larry! Excuse us. Excuse us.

349. Leave him alone, you bastard!

350. Jesus Christ.

351. There's Danny's manager. I better go talk to him.

352. There he is.

353. So how was Florida?

354. Hot and sticky... like my balls.

355. I spoke to Ginny. She's a wreck.

356. John's in the cancer ward,

357. she's down the road in some fuckin' motel.

358. Poor prick.

359. Prison's not bad enough, fuckin' lung cancer to boot.

360. Tell me about it. Quintuple bypass.

361. Then the infection,

362. seven months of physical therapy.

363. Just now startin' to get back to myself again.

364. Sausage, cioppino, anything spicy?

365. Put me back in the emergency room, I'm not careful.

366. But all in all, we're lucky fucks.

367. I tell myself that every day.

368. So now you're back, how about you straighten that family out?

369. Not for me, Anthony,

370. Obviously, health-wise,

371. being a boss is a young man's game.

372. Between the joint fitters and the carpenters,

373. those envelopes are light over ten percent each week.

374. I feel it too.

375. Well word on the street is,

376. Gerry's the favorite to take over.

377. He's my protégé. I don't stand in his way.

378. Well, there's a ringin' endorsement.

379. - Hey, Tony! - Doc! Doc.

380. - You know Danny, huh? - How ya doin', Mr. Soprano.

381. Got a ticket on the Jersey Turnpike.

382. Broken windshield wiper. I said he should talk to you.

383. - I'll take care of it. - That's not necessary.

384. - Let's take a picture here. - All right. Chill out, Doc.

385. If you're Phil Leotardo, you cannot be happy

386. with the state of affairs, despite appearances.

387. We're joined now via satellite from Bainbridge Island, Washington,

388. by Jerry's follow mob expert, Manny Safier,

389. the author of the new book "The Wise Guide to Wise Guys."

390. Manny, welcome to the program. How goes the book tour?

391. Thank you, Geraldo. Excellent.

392. - Jerry, how are you? - Manny.

393. So we're discussing the apparent mob power vacuum here in New York City.

394. Are you shocked that there's still no successor to John Sacrimoni?

395. Not really. I mean, uh,

396. the last ten, twelve years, that's been a dysfunctional family.

397. And as Jerry said earlier,

398. there are several viable candidates.

399. Well, viable, I don't know.

400. You had Phil Leotardo

401. as the logical successor, but...

402. You also have Gerardo "Gerry" Torciano.

403. Also Faustino "Doc" Santoro,

404. who I believe is the front-runner. Then

405. I'm surprised you haven't mentioned Carmine Lupertazzi Jr.

406. I was about to, Manny, before you interrupted me.

407. In fact, if you take a look at my book, in chapter 14...

408. This Santoro thing, I called it a year ago.

409. Change of power in the New York families...

410. Hey.

411. Thank you for comin', Anthony.

412. I know it's a long trip.

413. What, and miss a chance to see Missouri?

414. Here. Sit.

415. So, how's Ginny today?

416. She went with Allegra to buy some stuff for the kitchenette.

417. Oh, good. Clear her mind.

418. Mm-hmm.

419. Reason I asked you here today,

420. she's a bright kid, your sister.

421. But business?

422. My life insurance,

423. I want to put her on a monthly stipend.

424. Probably a good idea.

425. Not all the doctors agree,

426. but if I do only have a few months,

427. I wanna take care of all this now.

428. Wait a second. Which doctor doesn't agree?

429. Feldman. That guy I told you about.

430. - The wife murderer? - He's still a doctor, Anthony.

431. He was a highly respected oncologist.

432. I know, but John...

433. He reviewed my case.

434. He says I could hang on for years.

435. You're right. He still has the knowledge.

436. I mean, O.J.'s no less of a running back, right?

437. Let me ask you something, Anthony.

438. How will I be remembered?

439. A wonderful husband,

440. a loving father...

441. On the street, though, I mean.

442. Well, from what I know, you were well liked, John.

443. Respected across the board... despite the allocution, even.

444. God knows guys have actually named names

445. for a hell of a lot less than what you were lookin' at.

446. The only nega...

447. What?

448. Uh, when Carmine died

449. and you took over,

450. people felt you changed,

451. became a little trigger-happy, maybe?

452. A hothead?

453. God forbid any of them

454. would find themselves in that position.

455. It's a thankless job.

456. What, are you hung over?

457. What? I had two glasses of wine.

458. Why're you so pissy?

459. The portrayal of that guy in the movie.

460. - What guy? - The boss, Tony.

461. What about him?

462. It was based on you.

463. Yeah, I know, you said. The yelling.

464. It wasn't just the yelling.

465. Imitation's a form of flattery.

466. - You think that was flattering? - It was okay.

467. He's a tough prick, that Baldwin.

468. - What about the girlfriend? - What girlfriend?

469. The Cleaver guy, the lead character.

470. His entire motive for revenge.

471. I... I don't know. Ya lost me, Carm.

472. Sally Boy, the boss?

473. He fucked the guy's fiancée.

474. The thing with Adriana?

475. I told you it never fuckin' happened.

476. Well, apparently, your nephew feels otherwise.

477. Ro pointed it out to me, but if she saw it, that means other people did.

478. It's a movie. It's fictional!

479. It's a revenge fantasy, Tony.

480. Which ends with the boss's head split open by a meat cleaver.

481. Oh, there he is.

482. Good time last night?

483. Yeah, it was all right. How about you?

484. Well, Gab had fuckin' nightmares.

485. - Club soda, hon. - Sure.

486. So, uh, whaddya think of the movie?

487. Ya know, Chrissy's the last person

488. I would a confused with Marty,

489. but I gotta say, it wasn't bad.

490. Is he around?

491. Chrissy? Nah.

492. He don't come around here no more, you know that.

493. That Baldwin was pretty good, huh?

494. He was a mean fuck, I'll give him that.

495. And that girl that played the fiancée, she was hot.

496. You know, the one he was fuckin'.

497. It's weird how it works, creative process.

498. I'm watchin' that movie Edward Scissorhand,

499. when, boom, all of a sudden it hits me.

500. What if instead of a pair of scissors,

501. it's a meat cleaver, instead?

502. Coupla years later you got a movie.

503. Originally I thought a ballpeen hammer, but a cleaver's better.

504. I tell ya, man, it's like I'm livin' somebody else's life.

505. You're just not comfortable with success yet.

506. I know. It's scary.

507. Feel the fear and do it anyway.

508. Without chemicals, either.

509. Yeah.

510. So, Kelli. The baby.

511. Good. Fuckin' great.

512. She's a doll. She cries a lot, though.

513. The baby, not Kelli.

514. I hope you're takin' the time to reflect on all this.

515. Savor the good stuff.

516. Yeah. No, I am.

517. There's my other sober buddy.

518. Is that an FBI guy?

519. Your tax dollars at work.

520. Does he follow you around all the time?

521. They drop in and out. It's fun.

522. Look, seriously, think where you were just three months ago.

523. You came into that meeting, you were so fucked up you could barely talk.

524. And that woman friend was even worse.

525. I been tryin' to do what you said.

526. Pull back a little,

527. steer clear of old habits, same people.

528. Must be hard, though... given your lifestyle.

529. They already misinterpret I don't wanna hang around so much.

530. Fuckin' Paulie, especially.

531. Have you explained how hard it is to be around alcohol?

532. How familiar surroundings set it off?

533. They don't give a fuck.

534. "But he's fuckin' my wife, Carmine. I want him dead,"

535. Jimmy says.

536. "He will be," he said, "but not just right now.

537. He earns too much."

538. Eight years later,

539. Jimmy gets a call one day.

540. "Remember that guy we we were talkin' about was fuckin' your wife?

541. He can go."

542. The guy wasn't makin' him money no more!

543. And that was Carmine Lupertazzi.

544. Holy fuckin' shit.

545. There you are!

546. We went... John, what the hell are you doing?

547. - What? - You're smoking.

548. - So? - Daddy, you're on oxygen.

549. Hey, Warren, pardon me, I... I'm sorry.

550. Just calm down, all right?

551. Calm down? I don't fuckin' believe you!

552. What have I got to lose, Gin? What's the difference?

553. You told me Dr. Feldman doesn't agree with the others.

554. - Yeah. Well... - Miracles do happen, John.

555. - Not to this family, they don't. - You know, it's that kinda

556. attitude that probably brought this on in the first place.

557. You're gonna start with that again?

558. What about all these six-year-olds with leukemia?

559. What's that from, all their negative thinking?

560. All due respect, he's a great guy, Doc, but boss material?

561. The important thing is we all work together,

562. whoever winds up in the driver's seat.

563. Phil, though. I'll never get it.

564. The man was my mentor. It was right there for the taking.

565. It's hard, Gerry. What is he gonna do?

566. That's my point, though, what you just said.

567. Johnny goes away, it's Phil's turn in the driver's seat,

568. and his heart gives out.

569. - Right. - His heart.

570. I know. What?

571. It's a metaphor.

572. He lost his balls, is what I'm sayin'?

573. Just say it, then!

574. Walt-fuckin'-Whitman over here.

575. - Ladies. - Hey.

576. - How ya doin'? - You all right?

577. Shall we get some more wine?

578. Where's the fuckin' waiter, on sabbatical?

579. What's the name of that Sangiovese we had at Quattro Gatti?

580. Huh? The night you...

581. Come on!

582. Let's go!

583. Yeah, gimme five dimes apiece

584. on St. Louis,

585. Minnesota, and Baltimore.

586. We would have invited you to play, but we already had our fourth.

587. - You're not happy. - Let's order.

588. What can I get you?

589. Seared ahi, mixed greens,

590. and an ice tea, please.

591. Philly cheese steak.

592. You know what? Gimme an Arnold Palmer instead of the ice tea.

593. Okay.

594. I always enjoy those,

595. but it never occurs to me to order one.

596. What the fuck, Carmine? This family of yours.

597. Fuckin' senile Doc Santoro uses one of my guys as a diversion?

598. Sil could a got hurt.

599. Doc showed a lack of respect.

600. This fuckin' leadership void...

601. Step up, Carmine. Get your hands around this thing.

602. You know you got the support.

603. You never thought you'd mutter those words, did ya?

604. What do you want me to say?

605. I hear ya, Tony, and I'm flattered.

606. But boss? I don't think so.

607. Especially now that Doc has cemented his position.

608. Phil was bad enough for the top spot,

609. but him I could a lived with.

610. Here ya go.

611. There was a time I was obsessed with being in charge.

612. - You remember. - Right, so do it.

613. One night around then, I had this dream.

614. It's my pop's 100th birthday, even though he'd been dead for years.

615. The whole family was there... grandkids, everybody.

616. He's wearin' one of these

617. gold paper crowns, like at Burger King?

618. Anyway, I give him his present.

619. This mellifluous box, ribbons...

620. He opens it up, then looks at me.

621. This gaze of absolute disappointment.

622. There's nothin' in the box.

623. So he hands it back to me.

624. "Go fill it up," he says.

625. "Come back when I'm 200."

626. So go for it, Carmine.

627. Fulfill that part of yourself.

628. We have this ritual in my house, for years.

629. Our kids are in boarding school.

630. Every night I come home from work,

631. I strip down, jump naked in the pool,

632. Nicole brings me a scotch and water,

633. we sit, relax a little, talk.

634. I go up to bed, the air-conditioning,

635. she brings me a light dinner on a tray.

636. One night during all that fighting with John,

637. I come home... I'm exhausted.

638. So tired, so tense, I skip the pool.

639. I go right upstairs, flop on the bed.

640. Nicole comes up with a drink.

641. She says, "Darling,

642. I think it's time you took a rest."

643. I say, "I'm gonna, we're gonna take a vacation."

644. She says, "That's not what I meant.

645. I don't want to be the wealthiest widow on Long Island.

646. I want you to quit.

647. Now."

648. I'm not ashamed to say that she made me cry.

649. That wonderful, loving woman.

650. That dream with my father, the empty box?

651. It wasn't about being boss.

652. It was about being happy.

653. Warren, hi.

654. Hey, hon. How's he doin'?

655. Listen, I've been meaning to talk to you about the smoking.

656. John shared with me how upset you were.

657. Psychologically,

658. when a person's told they're dying,

659. it's the ultimate loss of control.

660. Do you hear him wheeze like that?

661. I know, it doesn't make any sense.

662. I do know he's a leader.

663. I suspect the smoking, on some level,

664. is an attempt to die as he lived

665. in total control.

666. Years ago I asked him to stop for me and the kids.

667. I lost 27 pounds. He couldn't quit smoking?

668. I gotta go.

669. Goodbye, Caitlin, I'll see ya soon, muffin.

670. Oh, my God, I love these little hands.

671. Thanks so much for watching her.

672. You'd think we're planning a coronation instead of a christening.

673. We all set?

674. You know what? I better pee.

675. Oh, goody! I get to keep holding you!

676. So how ya doin'? Tony said you got an offer on the house you built?

677. Two, actually. Yes.

678. Ivana Trump.

679. Ya know, I gotta be honest. I am very disappointed at what you did.

680. - What are you talkin' about? - Your movie.

681. The boss sleeping with the other guy's fiancée?

682. - What? - Oh, please, like that wasn't based on Tony and Ade?

683. What? No! Carmela, I didn't even write it.

684. "Story by Christopher Moltisanti."

685. Isn't that what it said up there on the screen?

686. Yeah, but that's just for the Writers Guild health insurance.

687. Oh. Really.

688. Come on, you can't be serious.

689. She's an Oriental, for Christ sake.

690. Have you heard from Ade lately?

691. No. Why would I hear from her?

692. Would it be so surprising?

693. She left me for some other guy.

694. Is it any wonder?

695. Her poor mother is so upset she's practically delusional.

696. She has convinced herself that Ade is dead.

697. Her mother's an alkie. You know that.

698. Irregardless, Christopher.

699. You're my cousin and I love you, Carmela,

700. but I don't like what you're inferrin' here.

701. Either with the movie, or with how I treated Adriana.

702. Kelli comes out, tell her I went to smoke.

703. There's my pal. How ya doin'?

704. Billy Bathgate. Had it in the library, I thought of you.

705. I don't know if you heard, but Gerry Torciano,

706. he was hit last week in Brooklyn.

707. - Who? - Gerry Torciano.

708. It was all over the news.

709. They whacked him in some restaurant.

710. Did ya know him?

711. Yeah. Uh

712. um... good guy.

713. It's hard to breathe.

714. I'll talk to Gupte.

715. See if I can get him to up the Beclovent.

716. I'm dyin', aren't I?

717. It's not good

718. I won't lie to ya.

719. Aggressiveness surprises me.

720. I gotta concur with Rosen.

721. I appreciate everything you... you've done, Warren.

722. - Who is it? - You don't - answer your phone?

723. I shut the ringer. It's the middle of the night.

724. - Honey, what's wrong? - Nothin', sweetie, it's fine.

725. Go back to sleep.

726. It ain't fine. We got a problem.

727. The whole sequence with Sally Boy bangin' the fiancée,

728. you gotta tell Tony that was your idea.

729. It wasn't my idea.

730. What are you, fuckin' stupid now?

731. He probably thinks I put it in there to embarrass him.

732. - Why did you put it in there? - It was an idea.

733. I don't know. Who knows where they fuckin' come from?

734. Isaac Newton invented gravity 'cause some asshole hit him with an apple.

735. It's bad enough that I don't get credit for my own ideas,

736. now I'm supposed to take responsibility

737. for some shit that's gonna get me in trouble?

738. Fuck that, man.

739. Human-it is Award? What's that?

740. Humanitas. From the Paulist brothers.

741. For writing themes of socially redeeming...

742. Aaah! Unhh!

743. Look out the window!

744. You see a fuckin' Hollywood sign out there?!

745. Maybe you talk to your agent like that,

746. but don't ever get fuckin' snippy on me again!

747. The fuckin' scary thing was, I didn't know what happened

748. until after the shot was fired.

749. It was fuckin' weird.

750. Tony, hey.

751. - Gentlemen. - Hey, how are ya.

752. T.J. Hooker.

753. J.T., actually, but, uh

754. I'm lookin' for Chris.

755. I'm supposed to meet him.

756. What, here?

757. The thing is, he left me a message,

758. but this fuckin' Verizon is...

759. Mind if I wait?

760. Yeah, sit.

761. - Diet Coke, please. - You got it.

762. So what'd you think of Cleaver?

763. Oh, it's good. Ya know.

764. Congratulations.

765. I hope we're gonna see some money soon.

766. Yeah.

767. As a writer, you can never tell, ya know?

768. You come up with an idea, you don't know how the audience is gonna respond.

769. I mean, just 'cause I like somethin' I think of

770. doesn't mean anyone else will.

771. Well, that's the challenge.

772. It is challenging sometimes.

773. Inventing characters, how they interact...

774. The boss, Sally Boy, for example.

775. His whole persona?

776. I stole that from Broderick Crawford in Born Yesterday.

777. What's that?

778. Hmm.

779. Garson Kanin, 1950. It's terrific.

780. William Holden falls in love with Crawford's girlfriend,

781. played by Judy Holliday.

782. The black girl. The singer.

783. No, that's Billie Holiday.

784. Although Judy's character in the movie is named Billie too,

785. so I can see why you're confused.

786. I never seen it.

787. Why would I be confused?

788. Anyway... the Sally Boy character

789. is based on Crawford, sort of a big, burly guy,

790. the love triangle, the cuckolding of Michael,

791. sleeping with the fiancée

792. very similar to the Holden/Holliday dynamic.

793. So the whole thing was your idea.

794. With apologies to Garson Kanin.

795. - What happened to your head? - What?

796. Oh. Uh, cabinet.

797. Pfft. Duh.

798. Well... if I see Chrissy,

799. I'll tell him you were lookin' for him.

800. Now listen to me, you two heels, I mean business.

801. I got too much at stake down here.

802. You got something that belongs to me.

803. You wanna get outta here alive, you better give it back!

804. - I'm no blowhard. Tell him! - He's no blowhard.

805. He's had people killed before.

806. - Once about six years ago, - there was this guy... - Shut up!

807. You ain't gonna be tellin' nobody nothin' pretty soon!

808. This is the image of me he leaves to the world.

809. I remember when he was born, I would hold him in my arms.

810. An adorable kid, too.

811. Big eyes.

812. You always talk about him more like a son.

813. In some ways, he was.

814. Especially after his dad died.

815. He was little, I used to give him rides.

816. I'd put him in the basket of the butcher bike and

817. pedal him around.

818. Back when Satriale's made deliveries.

819. I reminded him of that recently.

820. He didn't remember.

821. But you do.

822. We had fun.

823. All those memories are for what?

824. All I am to him is some asshole bully.

825. You're hurt.

826. Well...

827. His dad Dickie was

828. like my me... to him.

829. A mentor.

830. Yeah, but more than that.

831. A friend.

832. A fuckin' guy you could look up to.

833. And the hope is that you pass that shit down.

834. The respect and the love.

835. And all I did for this fuckin' kid,

836. and he fuckin' hates me so much.

837. I'm sure on some level he loves you too.

838. Yeah?

839. Take that home.

840. Judge for yourself.

841. Last five minutes should answer that question.

842. I'm not going to do that.

843. Not a horror fan?

844. It's what you think that matters.

845. I think he fuckin' despises me.

846. It's pretty obvious.

847. Wants to see me dead.

848. Without invalidating your feelings,

849. is it possible that on some level

850. you're reading into all this?

851. I been comin' here for years.

852. I know too much about the subconscious now.

853. Look, sweetie.

854. They're nice and clean like you like them.

855. Mama, he can't really hear you.

856. Be right here by the bed.

857. - My... - What, baby? Your what?

858. Want more morphine, Daddy?

859. My... mother.

860. Grandma?

861. What, Daddy?

862. Is he hallucinating?

863. - She's here. - I don't know, - he could be.

864. Sometimes they see people who've passed.

865. John? Look at me, baby.

866. John.

867. You want a cigarette, baby?

868. John?

869. You gonna do that when you're on my fuckin' team?

870. Hey, Ton'? Anthony Infante to see ya.

871. Yeah, send him in.

872. There he is! X-Ray Specs.

873. How's John?

874. That's why I'm here, Tony.

875. John passed away late this morning.

876. Oh, fuck. You're kiddin' me.

877. Oh, Madonn'.

878. I only wish.

879. He was a great guy, John.

880. I'm sorry for your loss.

881. Thanks.

882. Honestly, though, it was for the best.

883. What are you gonna do?

884. I beat cancer, but it took him out.

885. Ride the painted pony, let the spinnin' wheel glide.

886. Heh?

887. John Sacrimoni.

888. Buon' anima.

889. Buon' anima.

890. We're here to celebrate

891. what would have been my brother's, your uncle's,

892. forty-seventh birthday.

893. Blow it out for him.

894. Right here at this bar, this seat,

895. was Uncle Billy's favorite place in the whole world.

896. - More than Shea Stadium? - More than Shea Stadium.

897. He'd sit with his friends and tell stories about his family,

898. who he loved more than anything

899. and was so very proud of.

900. From now on,

901. his ashes will be right here

902. so when his friends come to visit, he can see them.

903. - Can he see us now? - Yeah!

904. Who knows who is Leonardo DaVinci?

905. - I do! I do! - Matty?

906. Yeah, he wrote The DaVinci Code.

907. - No. - Another man wrote that,

908. but it's a hideous, sacrilegious book.

909. Annabella.

910. He was a painter, of the Mona Lisa.

911. Very good. He was not only a painter,

912. he did medical drawings, and he designed a tank for the army.

913. - Wow. - Leonardo was a great Italian,

914. and that was our name originally: Leonardo.

915. But many years ago when my grandpa came over from Sicily,

916. they changed it at Ellis Island to Leotardo.

917. What did they do that for?

918. Because they're stupid, that's why.

919. And jealous. They disrespected

920. a proud Italian heritage

921. and named us after a ballet costume.

922. Marissa?

923. That's for modern. In ballet, you wear tutus.

924. It doesn't make a difference.

925. - That's right, it doesn't. - Can we have cake now?

926. How ya doin', Phil? You okay?

927. Forty-seven. He was a fuckin' kid.

928. Me, I'm an old man.

929. I'd like to do it over, boy, lemme tell ya.

930. I fuckin' compromised everything.

931. Nah, whaddya talkin' about?

932. Twenty years inside,

933. not a fuckin' peep. For what?

934. To protect the likes of Rusty-fuckin'-Millio?

935. Doc Santoro?

936. You were a man, Phil. That's sayin' a lot nowadays.

937. That cock-suckin' piece of shit Tony Soprano's cousin

938. I can't even say his name

939. murdered Billy.

940. And what did I do about it?

941. My weakness.

942. Sometimes I think it's in my DNA.

943. My family took shit from the medigans the minute we got off the boat.

944. Come on. The fuck you talkin' about?

945. "Leotardo."

946. That's my fuckin' legacy.

947. No more Butchie.
