"The Fleshy Part of the Thigh" is the 69th episode of the HBO original series, The Sopranos, and the fourth of the show's sixth season.
Written by Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, and directed by Alan Taylor, it originally aired on April 2, 2006.
He spends his remaining days at the hospital interacting with two patients, John Schwinn and rapper Da Lux, who has been shot seven times.
Da Lux's injuries, it is believed, will help his career by providing him a huge boost in "street cred," while Marvin is struggling for fame as a musician.
He viciously beats him with a metal pole and demands a monthly cut from him equal to the cost of Nucci's retirement home expenses.
This is the first episode written by Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider who joined the series' writing staff for the final season and also acted as supervising producers on it.
According to Steve Schirripa (Bobby Baccalieri), the rapper Fabolous originally played the role of Marvin; his scenes were later reshot with Treach in his place.
