Title reference The episode's title refers to Gary Cooper, who Tony has described as a perfect model of a man. Tony mentions Cooper several times during the series, describing him as "the strong, silent type." He first said it during therapy in the series pilot, and again in the 4th season episode "Christopher." The concept finds value in strength through keeping silent, an American model of Omertà. Other
