Christopher has finally managed to get his movie made. And the whole time I thought he was just in it for the free stuff. There sure was lots of it floating around, even though he wasn’t able to really capitalize. Maybe he is an artist.
On the down side, everyone attends the premier, which gets them all sorts of free schwag (hats and the like), and they get to see Cleaver, which they don’t find particularly bad, but it seems like everyone is aware of just who the movie is about except for the guy who the movie is about. That is to say, Tony. It’s like he doesn’t have a clue.
When Chris realizes just how bad it might look on him that he just called out the boss in front of everyone, and now the entire country might see that he’s saying just what the boss can do, he goes to visit the only writer he knows (J.T.) and tells him, by way of an award upside the head, that he needs to take credit for writing the script. That way it will look like Chris didn’t do it.
Carmela, already pretty aware of T’s meandering ways, isn’t happy about the way that it makes it seem like Tony spent some quality time with Adriana. That’s just off the deep end, even for him.
Tony of course doesn’t really care much about that. He’s much more interested to see what’s happening across the river in New York. Since it seems like Johnny Sack isn’t going to be around long (word is now that he just has 3 months to live due to cancer), the top spot is up for grabs. Tony wants Little Carmine to come back to work and get it, but it doesn’t look like that will happen. Carmine seems to have retired from the business and is loving it. Loving it!
Phil, meanwhile, looks like he’s up to something, but he won’t say what, being Phil. Doc Santoro, who I have to confess to never having noticed before, seems to be on he fast track until he’s taken out while dining one night, and then it looks like things are no closer than they were. My money’s on Phil moving in, when he gets all upset when he thinks about his brother being whacked. You’d think you’d know better, being in this business and all.
