Parallel to Christopher's pursuit of a dream is A.J. Soprano’s discovery of the "Big Nothing". After being assigned Albert Camus's The Stranger , A.J. begins quoting Nietzsche and questioning the purpose of his Catholic confirmation, famously declaring that "God is dead".

However, this dalliance with Hollywood reveals Christopher’s fundamental immaturity. He views his life as a screenplay rather than a series of moral consequences. When Amy eventually rejects both him and his script, asserting her status as a Vice President after he uses the derogatory term "D-girl," Christopher is forced back into the only world where he holds actual power: the Mafia.
