No Show - Title Reference

Title Reference

  • The title refers to the way the mob assigns paid jobs at a construction site to workers who never have to show up but continue to be paid. In the episode, the family splits the no show jobs between Ralph and Paulie's crews — Christopher and Paulie both receive a no show job. Also doled out are three no work jobs, in which a "worker" shows up for the titular job for the hours allocated but doesn't lift a finger doing actual work but, as depicted by Patsy, sit around in beach lounge chairs.
  • The title also refers to Meadow's decision. "No show" is the airline code for passengers who have bought the ticket but they do not show themselves at check-in points and therefore they miss the flight.

First and Foremost I am an entertainer but all I need is the Federal Credentials.”
    —Elvis Presley (1935–1977)

    “Meaning is what essence becomes when it is divorced from the object of reference and wedded to the word.”
