Cut to Mahaffey dropping his take-out coffee tray as Christopher jumps out of the car and chases after him to the accompaniment of a doo-wop song. He catches up to Mahaffey, but after a short scuffle, Mahaffey -- a bald, suit-wearing type -- gives Christopher this really weird place-kicker-type boot in the goolies and takes off again. Tony groans, "Ah, shit," and climbs into the driver's seat to tail Mahaffey in the car while Christopher kneels on the ground, clutching his jewels. As Mahaffey dashes through a corporate campus of some kind, Tony trails him in the Lexus, nearly running over a couple of pedestrians, and Christopher yells at Tony to wait up as Tony careens over a footpath, grinning like a kid, and finally he winds up running Mahaffey down. He gets out of the car as Mahaffey lies on the grass, whimpering and holding his leg, and goes to stand over Mahaffey and pretends to show concern over Mahaffey's possibly broken leg, and Mahaffey moans about the bone sticking out, and then Tony punches Mahaffey in the groin and yells, "I'll give you a fucking bone, you prick! Where's my fucking money?" and punches Mahaffey in the face a few times, and I've got to give props to the Foley guys, because every time Tony lands one on Mahaffey's face, it sounds like a bag of mashed potatoes getting dropped out of a fifth-floor window.
Melfi's office; a mildly discomfited Melfi smiles, "So, you had coffee," and Tony nods.
Back to Tony punching Mahaffey in the face some more; he stops and looks up at the crowd of bystanders that has gathered, and then he sees Christopher fussing over the headlight of the Lexus and trying to pull a shred of Mahaffey's pantleg out of the fender (heh), so he yells at Christopher to get over here, and Christopher bitches about the damage to the car, but he walks over and gives Mahaffey a couple of kicks in the ribs anyway while Tony repeats, "Where's the fucking money?" and Mahaffey sobs on the ground and bystanders in business suits watch with their hands over their mouths. Tony bitches Mahaffey out for telling people that Tony's "nothing"; Christopher lands a few more kicks on Mahaffey, and then he and Tony walk back to the car. Tony tells Mahaffey to stop crying, pointing to the "US/HMO" sign on the lawn and telling him, "You're covered, you prick."
