I think it works. But I don't want to put you in an uncomfortable situation.

No, it's fine. I appreciate the consideration. I guess I would like to be cooler, but really I'm him.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I don't think so. Different personality types. Albie is loyal, considerate and kind.

and he spent his dad's money on....what?...two nights with a sex entrepreneur?

he's definitely going to fall in the same traps as his dad and grandfather.

He didn't even know she was a prostitute until after their first night together. He only paid her to help her deal with her problems. Not for sex.

I think that shot of all three di Grasso men checking out that young lady in the finale tells you all you need to know about Albie moving forward.

I think it was commentary that no matter how different men can be, no matter how honorable, ultimately they're still all men. You can control your impulses, but the impulses are still there.

Guys, Albie demonstrated how vastly different his personality is from his father's and grandfather's time and time again throughout the season, there's no way he just all of a sudden does a 180 and becomes a chauvinist in the end.
