Quotes
Tony Soprano: It's in his blood, this miserable fuckin' existence. My rotten, fuckin' putrid genes have infected my kid's soul. That's my gift to my son.
Dr. Jennifer Melfi: I know all this is difficult but I'm very glad we're having this discussion.
Tony Soprano: Really, really? 'Cause I gotta be honest, I think it fuckin' sucks.
Dr. Jennifer Melfi: What does?
Tony Soprano: This. Therapy. I HATE this fuckin' shit! Seriously, we're both adults here, right? So after all is said and done, after all the complainin' and the cryin' and all the fuckin' bullshit... is this all there is?

Is this all there is?

Christopher and A. J. are suffering and Tony wields influence on both.

This is a powerful episode with memorable character moments.

'Walk Like A Man' is a compelling story about the key younger males in Tony's life and his contrasting attitude towards both. It's hard to go into details without spoiling, but it involves so many of the classic themes within the show's writing about nihilistic characters finding their way through an environment that pressurises them to conform to certain masculine ideals.

Characters like Christopher, A. J, Tony, Paulie, and J. T. Dolan all have some of their most memorable scenes.

The actors do fantastic work and the filmmakers bring it to life with great moments of action, character reflection, and interaction.
