A.J. calls Raymond Curto Jr leaving after visiting Geno at the hospital to inform him of their plans of going to Yonker's Casino Hotel that evening to stay overnight. & Return the following morning to attend Robbie & Alle's mother Deanne Pontecorvo's funeral in East Orange.
"Have you heard the news yet Anthony?" Raymond asked. (What News?)
"Larry-Boy & his comare were both found dead & naked inside her upstairs apartment this morning. The landlord called the cops when a neighbor called to inform them that there were two gun shots heard from their apartment. The PIGS are claiming it was domestic violence & it was a murder suicide!" (Who killed Who?)
Sounds like Larry-Boy's whore shot him in bed before she shot herself!" (That's Crazy!)
"Well--As you always say T: "Fate has a way of making the wrong right!" (Do I always say that?!) The two men laugh outloud together.
"That's too bad it happened before I could of reached that son of a bitch Larry though to revenge Jake. But it's Done then & that's what truly matters!" A.J. pretended not to know anything about it although he witnessed the two killings.
Apparently Albert must of dropped the gun beside Tina dead on the floor to make it appear she was the perpetrator of the murder--suicide. Albert sounded to be on "Top of his Game."
"At least I didn't get left out of all the Fun like I have been lately." Raymond commented.
A.J. ignores Raymond & tells him that Robbie will come after him to go to the Casino. They were taking their entire Young Soprano Crew to Gamble Party & Sleep w/ Hookers!
"I won't need any prostitutes as long as that Catherine Sacrimori is hosting there!" (You really like her don't you?)
"Yea.--I guess you can say that!" Raymond admitted.
"Alright then--I gotta run Ray--Ray! I'll see you tonight!" (Sounds Good T!)
"OH--One last thing:" (Yea?!)
"If you got your driver's license?! Maybe you wouldn't miss out on all the Fun?!--I'm just saying. " (CLICK)

Meadow returns to their Dumbo Hotel Room all excited about George's invitation to travel to Key West on a short 4 day business/pleasure trip.
Francesca sat in a house-robe Indian-style w/Omerta curled up in between her legs while she was rolling a fat joint on the bed.
"Where's Alle?!" (She's in the shower)
"How about you two girls go w/me & spend the afternoon shopping today?! I got invited out of town for a few days!"
Franny already knew how her older sister was so guarded about her personal privacy that she didn't even ask Meadow any questions about it w/Who? or Where to? But only looked up as she raised the rolled joint to lick the gummy edge & answered: "SURE."
Then as she fires up the joint to take a long deep hit before holding her outstretched arm & passing it to Meadow who reluctantly took it.(Just one Hit!)
"Meadow.--Can I confide in you?" Franny asked as she exhaled the pungent smoke. (Confide?)
"Yes." (W/ Me?) Yes." (How So?)
"I'm Pregnant." (You're What?)
"Pregnant--I'm fucking Pregnant!" Franny reconfirmed as she took the joint back from Meadow as she coughed on her smoke.
"OH--YOU ARE?!" Meadow attempted to answer as she covered her coughing mouth.
"Are you positively certain?!" (Yes--Three times Certain!) & Franny tosses a clear zip-lock baggie w/3 positive pregnancy test inside.
Instead of asking Who the father was Meadow asked: "Do you know who the father is?"
"No." (NO?) "NO.--I had sex w/three different men but..." (BUT?!)
"Two were consensual. But one was not." (What are you saying Franny?)
"I was Raped. I was forced to have sex against my free-will. I said "No." But I couldn't stop or prevent it from happening."
"Oh my darling girl--I'm so sorry to hear that. How did it happen? When? Where?" Meadow could feel her anger stirring up inside of herself as she reaches out her hand to take a second hit of the joint.
"It happened at Stella's last Friday Fight Night at Bull Red Arena. I walked Nica out to meet A.J. to leave & when I left the restrooms a man grabbed me. He shoved me behind a long row of vending machines out of sight of anyone & pushed me into the back corner to fuck me. It didn't last long but he didn't use a condom & cummed inside me before disappearing in the crowd. I never really seen their face."
"Jesus fucking Christ Franny!--What a bold & brazen predator to violate you in such a social & public setting. You poor Thing!"
"Don't Poor Thing me Meadow--Please! I don't want your pitty. I just need my big sister's assistant not empathy."
"I apologize Francesca--Sometimes as much as I hate to sound like my mother? I Do. How can I assist you Franny?"
"I want to get an abortion." (An Abortion?)
"Yes.--If I tell my mother she will insist that I give birth to some low-life stranger's bastard kid being a good devoted Catholic which I am Not.
Im too young & I have my entire life ahead of me! This will Ruin my life & dash all my dreams of going to college to study music. I don't want to be a goddamn mother like mine is."
"I understand Franny. I will assist you in any way I possibly can! & Since you have confided in me? You can trust me to kept it secret between only you & I. No one else knows?" (No. No One Else.)
"So can this wait another week until I return from my trip?!"
"Yes.--There's no chance of me getting any more pregnant than I am already!" Franny pretends to laugh.
"I will arrange it all for you Franny before I leave so we can go immediately after my return to address it!"
"Thank you so much Meadow! I'm sorry that I had to dump this in your lap like this but..."
"But--Thats what big sister's are for!" Meadow reaches over to embrace & kiss Franny's cheek.
"What are big sister's for?!" Alle asked walking out of the bathroom w/a towel around her as she hand dried her hair w/a second towel.
"To Take Us Shopping this Afternoon!" Franny jumped up to answer Alle & excusing herself to take her turn showering before they left.
At 4 o'clock in the afternoon Robbie & Raymond arrived at A.J.'s apartment building on Fleet St in Newark. Except Robbie wasn't driving--Raymond Curto Jr was.
Rolling to a stop pulling up to the curb & parking out on the street Raymond blows a loud customized air-horn to announce their arrival.
A.J. & Vito walked out off the front porch to find the two Young wise-guys sitting in an old white 1960 Cadillac Coupe w/ Red leather interior & Raymond sitting in the driver's seat w/his arm hanging out the open car-door window.
"What the Fuck are you two up to now? Stealing old classic cars?!" Vito clowned.
"NO. This is my Oldman's Glory-Days Mob Car!" Raymond reaches behind the front seat & pulls out a matching white-straw cowboy hat to put on saying: "BUFFALO RAY RIDES AGAIN!"
The four men got a big laugh out of it!
"I didn't know you can drive Ray-Ray?!" A.J. glares bending over to look in at him through the open front passenger door window past Robbie.
"You never Asked--You only presumed I couldn't because I'm a fucking cripple!" Raymond pointedly answered.
Raymond points out the mechanism that enabled him to safely drive. It had a push & pull handle arm mounted on the steering column. It had a rod that extended from it to the acceleration pedal & one down to the brake pedal.
If he pushed the steering column mounted handle forward it accelerated the vehicle & if he pulled it backwards it would apply the brakes. It was pretty basic & fundamental but efficient & safe.
A.J. ignored Raymond's jab as he smile inside himself at his disabled friend's determination & perseverance in spite of his physical limitations.
"Alright then--You lead the way "BUFFALO RAY" while Vito & I follow behind. Bobby will be coming behind us after he picks up Tommy & the two Palmice Brothers Mikey Jr & Franky. "
"Well keep up if you can! This "Betty" has a big block 390 cubic inch motor w/a 4" piston bore & a 4 barrel Rochester carburetor displacing 325 Horsepower! (BETTY?)
"YEA--Dad named her after his favorite old poster-girl "Betty Page!" Raymond grab a nude picture of her dangling from the rear-view mirror to show them & laughed.
A.J. leads his Young Sopranos Crew into the front Casino Hotel Lobby carrying a large bundle of fresh-cut flowers & a sampler box of chocolates for the two Sacrimori Sisters Allegra & Catherine playing hostesses & joyfully greeted them.
Allegra opened her arms wide open to nestle A.J.'s bowed head between her soft voluptuous breast to welcome him.
Catherine leaped onto Raymond's lap to wrap her thin arms around his neck & kiss him w/an open mouth sitting in his portable fold-up wheel-chair that Robbie pushed him in on.
"Let's go get you a full-charged electric wheel-chair!" Catherine motions for Robbie to push them around the corner.
Bobby & Tommy entered w/Mikey Jr & Franky. A.J. introduced each of them to Allegra who he instructed that he wanted them to have all the food drinks & hookers they wanted!
"We don't call our girls here hookers--They're our escorts!" Allegra politely corrects A.J. before acknowledging her compliance to the request for his young friends. "Friends of your's are our friends!"
