Oh Captain, My Captain - 
by J-Unit
Last week's episode of The Sopranos really didn't do much to advance the plot, although it was very interesting to see which of Tony's captains decided to step up in his absence. That honor goes to Silvio, but his decision to step up and take care of Tony's business as well as Carmela and the kids was made because he thought Tony would wake up soon and be very appreciative of what Sil did for him when he was out of commission. Now that it looks like Tony may be out of commission permanently, either through death or some sort of brain damage, Silvio has discovered that being the boss brings a lot more than just huge responsibilities.
We all love the characters on the Sopranos, but we must never forget that all of these guys are here to be earners. With that being said, Vito tips Paulie off to a score in an apartment building nearby. We aren't quite sure what sort of operation they are hitting, but since it is being run by Columbians, we can all take a guess. Vito's tip said that there would be nobody around, so this was supposed to be pretty easy. Unfortunately, there were a few people hanging around, so Paulie and one of his boys roll in there, they have to take out four guys to get to the money.
It's not like these guys were opposed to murdering people for money, but if this hit was only going to net them $10,000, it probably wasn't worth the risk. To make it worse, Paulie got hit in the balls. Now, I am immature, so when Paulie got hit in the nuts I laughed (after the mandatory groan of course), but it was even better because Paulie kept on saying "my balls". Again, maybe you don't find it as funny, but I was cracking up the whole time. If you don't think hearing "my balls" is funny, try finishing every sentence with the phrase for an hour or so, especially out in public. "Ah yes (my balls). I think I will have the lobster bisque for an appetizer (my balls). For the entree, let me try the filet mignon medium well (my balls). No, make that medium rare (my balls). Oh, and I'll have a bottle of the house merlot (my balls)."
Luckily for Paulie, he found the Columbians had hid their cash in the dishwasher and the money inside was worth getting hit in the balls five or six times. If you are as immature as me, turn up the volume and listen to Paulie complain about his balls (parental guidance suggested). Audio Clip 1. Audio Clip 2.
All together now. MY BALLS!
Back at the hospital, Bobby and Christopher are busy putting an end to AJ's idea of killing Uncle Junior. AJ had tried to buy a gun from one of Christopher's guys, who wouldn't sell it to him. Just in case AJ had any thoughts of buying from somebody else, Christopher wanted to step in and tell him that it would be impossible to get to Junior while the feds have him. AJ says that it is "difficult, but not impossible", like that scene from the Godfather Part II where Michael is trying to figure out how he'll be able to kill Hyman Roth. Although AJ decides to listen, he thinks that it was his mother who put them up to it. They tell him to channel the rage elsewhere, like the Golden Gloves or dumbbells or something, but assure him that his father would not want him involved.
