A.J. pretends to be fanning the gun-smoke haze away waving both hands in the air overlooking Jack Black's "Lifeless Dead" body hanging limp bloody & bullet riddled in the gun-shot chair on the warehouse "Killing-Floor."
"CHRIST MEADOW!" A.J. laughed asking her if she thought he was dead?
"Do you think we should cut his throat too?!" A.J. asked as a poking joke referring to her slicing Paulie Walnuts' throat after A.J. shot him & left for dead in the cemetery at their father's grave.
Meadow shrugs her shoulders & flashes a sheepish smile: "What?--I was protecting you Anthony! I thought Jack was going to shoot you! So I reacted on impulse."
"You Meadow?--I thought you were the one under self-control & I was the impulsive one?!
"You Were--Once A.J. but now you are much more measured!" (& You?)
"I told you-I thought Jack was going to kill you so I went into protective mode."
"I guess you did Muffy!--That poor fucker didn't stand a goddamn chance!" A.J. jeers his older Sister.
Meadow holds up her pistol to inform them that she had fired over 1000 practice rounds of ammo at the gun shop's indoor shooting gallery since Stella bought Meadow her first hand-gun for her personal protection when the whole "Jack Black"thing began back in the spring.
"That was for Daddy!" Meadow declared glaring over at Coco who was still in shock over what he had just witnessed transpire.
"Well Boys we all just witnessed for ourselves Meadow Making her Bones w/a Big Bang!" A.J. claps his hands for her while looking to Vito & Coco to reluctantly join A.J.'s applause.
"So What?--Does that mean that I've become the first "Made Woman?!" Meadow teased looking at the three men. Then Meadow looks across the table says:
"OMERTA" is the Word!--Right Coco?" as she blindly released & discharged the ammo-clip from the bottom of her gun-grip handle to reload.
"YES.--YES. OMERTA is the Word!" Coco assured her.
"GOOD.--Because you see Coco only the four of us know about this. You me & my two brothers here so if anyone Talks? We will know that it is you." ( I Got It Meadow! This isn't my first Whack-Job!)
"Are you getting Smart w/me now?!" Meadow gives him a questioning stare. (OH. NO. I was just saying!)
"GOOD THING!" Then Meadow peers down & says "LOOK!" Showing them that there were still two Bullets lodged inside the clip.
A.J. looks over to see Coco's expression & then he grins at Vito before telling Meadow to give him that piece of shit gun as he reaches for it & the clip.
"That's what a hate about these 9mm hand-guns they're undependable as Fuck. You never know when they are going to jam up!"
A.J. puts it in his jacket pocket & grabs the pistol that Jack dropped on the blood-splattered desk-top from their movie game when Meadow gunned him down at point blank range.
"Here--Have take this Piece! It's Raymond Curto Jr Aproved! (What?) Nevermind Bing. It's a good gun. Better then that cheap 9mm. (It wasn't Cheap! Meadow protested) Yea. Whatever!" A.J. answered her rebuttal while he removed the four Bullets from the revolver to toss it to Vito to wipe it down for finger prints before handing it to her.
"What good will it do w/no ammo?" Meadow questioned as she examined it in her hand.
"HERE.--TAKE THESE." & A.J. takes a handful of bullets from his other jacket pocket to give her. Then he tossed the other four from the game onto the desk.
"Those won't do anyone any good!" A.J. grins up at Vito knowingly. (What do you mean A.J.?)
"They are fucking Blank Bullets that "Ray-Ray" made up for me! I know I'm Crazy & can be impulsive but I'm not a goddamn idiot?!" A.J. loudly laughes.
"Can you believe that stupid fucker Jack would think I'd actually use live-ammo & then hand a loaded gun over to him?!"
"WHAT?!--THOSE WERE FAKE BULLETS A.J.?!" Meadow glares at him. (Yes!--Come on Meadow?!)
"You scared the living shit right out of me Anthony! I thought they were fucking real?!"
Coco confesses that A.J. had also Fooled him as well.
"You Two--Both brothers are real "STINKERS" for tricking us like that!" Meadow forcibly smiles.
"YEA?!--I'm thinking Jack feels the same way Bing! But the real Trick was on him when you came out firing your gun "Ablaze'n" w/live bullets flying!" A.J. Salutes her!
Then A.J. dusted off his hands to stand up & grabs his cellphone after it video-recordered the entire cinematic re-enactment of their theatrical spectacle.
"We just witnessed the most perfect "Piece of Work" that no one but us will ever know about. & I must admit it suits me Fine. Our Father's Murderer has been Revenged. & We could of never accomplished it without Meadow & her Protective Nature."
"SO.--Vito. Empty all his pockets. I want everything wallet cellphone keys watch jewelery weapons."
"What?--You want his shoe-strings too?!" Meadow teased as she loaded her new pistol to stow in the bottom of her purse.
A.J. looks to Coco telling to assist Vito w/the body-bag to load up for disposal. Then he implies that Coco could be trusted to clean up the bloody crime scene mess. For which Coco silently answered by knodding his head to firmly shake A.J.'s hand before kissing his ring.
Vito would transport Jack's Lifeless Dead body to Hyles Funeral Home for Hymie to cremate.
"No Body--No Crime."
A.J. & Meadow depart leaving the riverfront warehouse district together taking Jack Black's car & his personal belongings to park it locked inside Jack's old Machine Shop (Hide-Out) Garage & exchange it for his own rental car that he dropped off before meeting Jack at Satriale's Meat Market earlier that morning.
