retelling — it definitely has the chaotic, darkly humorous tone The Sopranos is known for, though it doesn't seem to be from any actual episode of the show. It reads more like a parody or an imagined scene inspired by The Sopranos' style: mixing serious themes like depression with brutally raw, almost absurd physical comedy.
A few things to consider if you want to shape this into a sharper version of a Sopranos-style scene:
Tony Soprano and one of his associates go to a new Indian restaurant. The food tastes strange, but Tony figures, "Maybe all this curry crap tastes like that." Later that night, he's sweating, tossing in bed. Carmela wakes up, thinking he's having another panic attack.
But Tony groans, grips his stomach.
Tony: "It's not my head this time... it’s my stomach!"
Suddenly, he bolts to the bathroom like a linebacker, vomiting violently.
Tony (shouting): "It was that goddamn chicken! Vesicle! Those f***ing Indians!"
Seconds later, he’s on the toilet, pants around his ankles, unleashing a torrent of diarrhea with thunderous farts. In the hallway, Carmela finds Meadow and A.J. awake.
A.J.: "What’s going on?"
Carmela (dryly): "Your father has food poisoning."
They all hear another monstrous fart. A.J. bursts out laughing.
Tony spends the night in the bathroom, sweating, puking, shitting, and cursing between fever dreams.
The next morning, he calls his associate.
Tony: "That wasn’t dinner, that was chemical warfare."
Associate: "I was on the toilet ‘til 4 a.m., Tone. I wanna whack the chef."
Let me know if you want to turn this into a short script or polish the dialogue even more. It’s got real potential as a Sopranos-style dark comedy scene.
