They hold their first meet up at the local McDonalds, and the encounter goes well. They head back to Jack's home to bond as family, and Tony says he needs to give Jack a gift he has. The "gift" turns out to be a wad of 50 $100 bills bound by a small rubber band. Tony tosses the money on the single seat couch and says take it, it's yours for bein' beautiful. Jack isn't sure if he should accept this money, as he doesn't know where Tony got it. Oh, you know, says Tony. Business investments, sales and acquisitions. Tony says he works for a "marketing company", and Nevermind where it came from, it's my gift to you. I do top notch work. The meet up concludes with Tony leaving Jacks house. They hug, and bid each other adieu.
