Now, I have NOT been a Soprano groupee; I use the time to either watch the news or what ever the wife wants to watch, ... which is definitely not The Sopranos. But, ... with all the hype, I have been watching old shows, ... er, the reruns. Yes, ... I will probably buy the DVD's over the years. I am NOT on a first name basis with the family members, but I do have my ideas what was behind and beyond the "dead-air" ending.The dude that gave Tony the evil eye was indeed a hit-man, who had been hired to take Soprano out. Tony was more interested in getting some Italian pasta that he over looked the two bad guys at the counter. The guy gives Tony the once over as he heads for the head. As the hit-man zipped his fly and dried his hands, he pulled the 9mm out and checked the magazine and shoved it back inside his jacket.
Leaving the urinal, he gave a nodding signal at the men sitting at the counter that Soprano was going down. Cracking the jaw and breaking the teeth of the opposing family's brother, who had mistreated Tony's daughter, was the crack that broke the families' truce, and Tony was going down.
Quickly, the hit man pulled out his gun and offed Tony who slumped below the table, as did the rest of his family. The hit-man then quickly rounded the end of the seats and leaned over to make sure Tony was dead, ... but, he had over-looked the reaction of Tony's wimpy, troubled son, who had pulled his dad's 9mm out and rolled over on the floor to put two bullets in the assassin's head.
The men at the counter quickly brandished their big-irons, only to take one deadly shot each, to their hearts from the young Soprano.
"Don't touch anyone or move anything!" he ordered, as he moved the two women to another booth. As any good Soprano, the ladies kept their cool and awaited the police.
"Tomorrow will be another day," said his mother. "Tony always knew he would be taken out sometime and was ready for it. Now, you are the head of the family," she finished, looking away from her 20 year old son. "He's the head of the Soprano family, now," she thought.
Cool and calm, her son's attitude had taken on a new personality - a Sopranoish aire.
