why do you
keep talking about event planning?
i don't even know
what that is.
if you're serious,
i'll tell you what i'll do.
i'll get you a job at beansie's and you
can learn the business from the ground up.
that's a fucking pizza parlor,
not a club.
it's the service
industry!
why are we even
having this discussion?
you're going back to
college next semester.
see? this is
just what i mean.
you guys never give me any
support in anything i wanna do.
- a.j.!
- oh!
god damn him.
this is fucking
demoralizing.
maybe we should get him a club,
give him some responsibility.
maybe he'll rise
to the occasion.
are you insane? he's not
even legal drinking age.
well, yeah yeah.
it's like a... bad smell
in the house.
it's always
hanging there.
more than that, it's no
good for me and carmela.
'cause arguing with a.j. is no kind
of aphrodisiac, i'll tell you that.
just when i was
beginning to feel
physically good again,
like my old self.
- good. i see.
- but honestly, no one could blame a man
for seeking an extracurricular
outlet in a situation like this.
don't give me that look.
you're always telling me
that i'm projecting.
you're projecting.
so you're not seeking
an extracurricular outlet?
no. i was just
being theoretical.
what carmela did for me
when i was hurt,
the way
she took care of me,
nursed me back to health-- you
think i wanna fucking betray that?
is it possible
on some level
you blame her
for a.j.'s problems?
look, i don't know.
no. carmela's
a good mother.
she did her best.
look, could you
just give me
some practical advice
for once?
tell me what the fuck
to do about my son?
well...
i think it's
entirely appropriate
for you and carmela
to tell a.j.
you have certain
expectations of him,
particularly since he's
living in your home.
the most
important thing is
that you and carmela
are in agreement
on the issues,
that you don't
undercut each other
or act at cross purposes.
here.
so you can buy a suit
to look nice for job
or college interviews.
this is not for fun.
this is not to be used
for any kind
of personal entertainment.
thanks.
hi.
hey, mr. soprano.
what's going on?
welcome back.
hey, what's up?
meet my friends.
this is farhad and...
- daryl. what's up?
- ...daryl; a.j. soprano.
you know
tommy filippo?
- providence?
- no, i don't think so.
good friend of mine.
he's connected.
farhad and daryl are starting
a line of sports drinks.
- cool. - big thing now.
not just carbs-- protein.
when you exercise,
you drink four to one
carbohydrate
to protein solution--
decrease muscle damage,
increase endurance.
- yeah, that makes sense.
- they're looking for investors.
- maybe we can get you a prospectus, eh?
- absolutely.
for your dad. you can
ask him to look at it.
do you ever go to lotus?
good crowd on wednesdays.
- i was there twice. - i was
there last week-- unbelievable.
hey, wake me up
tomorrow, okay? 10:00?
we were just up
in bradford.
there's a beautiful
long truss bridge there.
mmm. right.
if you're interested
in covered bridges,
you need to get over
to swanzey.
they have four marvelous
bridges there,
including a queen post.
honey, we could go tomorrow.
you know where else you
should go is shaker village.
- you can't beat those
shaker brooms.
oh, i love old brooms!
a.j.!
i woke you up two hours
ago like you asked me.
now get up.
- ouch.
- carl, are you all right?
it is 4:00
in the afternoon.
you are not even dressed!
i got the impression you had
something important to do.
- there you go, corrado.
- how come i don't get no mail?
maybe you need
to write some letters,
start a correspondence.
lying cocksucker!
they throw my mail out.
your uncle is having
dinner, but you can see him now.
warren will take you in.
this way.
wait for me, please.
he's over here.
- corrado, you
