MEADOW (SOPRANO) WEISS



XXIII


"It's a goddamn madhouse out there!" Meadow smiled as she entered the funeral home office & closed the door behind herself. 

"So you finally made it!" A.J. poked fun at his big sister.

"No thanks to you & your screwed up girlfriend Rhiannon. That poor girl is a real mess. I managed to get her up to our wing of hotel rooms to settle her in. But then she didn't want me to leave her. I got her undressed & into the shower & I took her dirty clothes to throw away & retrieved her some cloth clothes from my things after I called room service for her to eat."



DON ANTHONY JOHN
(A.J. SOPRANO)



" I  appreciate it Meadow."

"Yea I know T.--It was really no problem.  I sort of felt empathy for her. (You Bing?!) Yes me! I am not as cold-hearted as you & mom make me out to be! (A.J. shoots her a questioning grin--Like Mom & I?!) "Yes. Like You & Mom! Rhiannon is like a tiny wounded bird. She is a fragile being."

"You think so ?!"

"I know she really loves you Anthony."

"Yea? Well I guess I love her too in some twisted sort of way?!" A.J. conceeded.

"First she started in questioning me about Stella calling her a "Fucking Pig." Then I made the comment that Stella was actually too good for you. (A.J. glares) & Rhiannon said "Isn't it Ironic" how Stella is too good for you. & How she wasn't good enough?!"

A.J. remained silent as Meadow continues telling him how Rhiannon broke down & told her how she was gang-raped by two guys & two girls while two other guys just watched & didn't stop it from happening."


"Rhiannon has never told me about that?!" A.J. insisted.

"Well that's what she said!" Meadow assured him. " She said that's why she was sent to that mental ward when she met you there after your failed suicide attempt. She also told me that she had gotten pregnant by you but had a miscarriage!"

"See that's nothing but a line of shit she was feeding you there Bing! I don't know anything about any gang-rape & she didn't have a fucking miscarriage--She went & had a goddamn back-room abortion using a steel colthes-hanger! Then she almost died bleeding to death internally. She was rushed to the hospital for an emergency surgery. The surgeons had to remove all of her damaged female organs to stop the hemorrhaging & save her life."

"THATS FUCKING NUTS A.J.!"

"YEA?!" A.J. stands up to hug & kiss Meadow on the forehead seeing his big sister was almost in tears. (That's so sad.)  "You are the one with a good heart Sis--Just like Dad had.  It's Mom & I that have the cold hearts."



RAYMOND CURTO JR

Then at that moment Compagino pokes his head in the door to interupt them saying "Nucci" Curta & her son Raymond" were there to see him. Meadow excused herself & left A.J. to continue greeting & meeting privately with family & guest attending the Last Great Gangster Funeral for Corrado John Soprano Jr.



MARIANUCCI "NUCCI" CURTO
(WIDOW)


Marianucci "Nucci" Curto entered the funeral home office with her son Raymond Curto Jr following behind her in an electric wheelchair. Raymond was a born cripple & suffered his entire life battling MS.



MARIANUCCI "NUCCI" CURTO 

A.J. greets Nucci first who takes his hand to kiss his ring  As she looks back over her shoulder to introduce her son Raymond Jr who holds out his hand to shake with him informing his mother that he easnt kissing any man's hand!

& A.J. breaks the awkwardness by laughing at Raymond's response his mother as he hugs & kisses Nucci's cheek inviting her to go refresh herself & join the other ladies in the sitting parlor.

Walking her to the door he turned back around to face Raymond as he shakes his head & chuckles to himself asking Ray if he'd have a drink & cigar with him. Which Raymond agreeded to accept A.J.'s respectful  hospitality. 



RAYMOND CURTO JR


A.J. pours both young men a glass of rum. Handing Raymond his A.J. lifts his glass to Raymond to say: " Our fathers were long--trusted friends their whole lives as I hope that you & I can be Raymond!"

Raymond Curta Jr raises his glass from sitting in his wheelchair as they both say 'Salute" together in agreement.
