Fade up on Brendan "Fee" Filone in the parking lot of Comley Trucking, honking a semi's air horn. Christopher "Cross" Moltisanti crabs at him that he should have just rung the doorbell. A guy comes out and asks what he's doing, and Christopher makes up a cock-and-bull story about finding the truck on the side of the road, maybe kids did it, something with the transmission, he doesn't know. A couple of Comley guys come out into the parking lot, and one of them asks, "Hey, what're you doing with the truck, asshole?" as he stalks across the lot towards Christopher; Christopher responds by firing two shots into the air, which brings the guys up short. Christopher then announces all portentously, "A gift from Tony Soprano," and he and Brendan start laughing and peel off the Comley lot. The Comley guys head back inside, and one of them says, "Let's call the cops, those are the guys who killed Hector."
In the car, Brendan snorts some crystal and bitches about having to give up the biggest score of his whole year. Christopher, now in full-on self-importance mode, snots at Brendan that "Uncle Junior's been breaking Tony's balls" because Brendan hijacked that truck, and Brendan's lucky Tony doesn't shove the cab up Brendan's ass. Then he snorts some crystal too.
Cut to a quiet restaurant. Junior "Executive Suite" Soprano asks Mikey what else Comley said. "Nothing much," Mikey says between sips of soup. "There was some stuff missin' from the truck," but Comley was just glad to get the truck back. Mikey has on a light beige blazer over a darker beige cable-knit sweater with no shirt on under it -- sartorial non-splendor doesn't get any more Jersey than that, folks. Mikey adds almost as an afterthought that Comley said to tell Tony thank you, and if Tony needs anything, he should give Comley a call. Junior, spoon in mid-air, spits, "Tony?" Mikey smiles all oh-here-we-go, and Junior rants that "those fucking junkie fucks" work for Tony, they hijacked the truck and Junior got it back, and now Comley's thanking Tony. Mikey sees a suck-up opportunity and says that Junior should have taken care of "this Christopher Moltisanti thing" when it first happened: "You should have sent a clear-cut signal to him, you fuck with Junior Soprano --" Junior thunks the salt shaker down on the table and interrupts Mikey mid-blather: "Take it easy! We're not making a Western here." Mikey drums his hands on the table, frustrated. Junior sighs, "Fucking family." He says grimly that he bought AJ "Fat Ballou" Soprano a surfboard for his birthday. Just to let you know: we see neither AJ nor the surfboard for the rest of the episode, and Junior doesn't finish this thought either.
