The next day, Tony is chairing a meeting between Paulie and Feech to resolve the landscaping conflict. Feech gives a fairly accurate description of Paulie's encounter with Gary La Manna, but Paulie has a slightly different take on the event, claiming that Gary "jumped out of the tree, and came at [him] with a chainsaw." "I got a right to defend myself," he adds. Heh. The last time Paulie tried to defend himself, he almost got beat up by an old lady. Tony listens to both sides, and then applies the wisdom of Solomon by dividing the neighborhood in half and letting Gary and Sal share it. He also orders Gary to pay $1,000 for Sal's pain and suffering, even though Paulie already promised the guy $1,200. He then demands his own retroactive taste of the action, and doesn't even pretend to believe Feech when he claims he was going to start kicking up any day now. Paulie further sweetens the pot by announcing that Sal will cut Tony's grass free of charge from now on, and Tony gets sly grin on his face when he tells Paulie they'll talk more about that later.
