Quotes 

• [Christopher calls Tony from a phone booth, while it's raining] 

  Tony Soprano : What do you got?

  Christopher Moltisanti : Wet shoes.

  Tony Soprano : You chose this life. You don't want to work in the rain, try for the fucking Yankees.

• Meadow Soprano : Are you in the Mafia?

  Tony Soprano : Am I in the what?

  Meadow Soprano : Whatever you want to call it. Organized crime.

  Tony Soprano : That's total crap, who told you that?

  Meadow Soprano : Dad, I've lived in the house all my life. I've seen the police come with warrants. I've seen you going out at three in the morning.

  Tony Soprano : So you never seen Doc Cusamano going out at three in the morning on a call?

  Meadow Soprano : Did the Cusamano kids ever find $50,000 in krugerrandts and a .45 automatic while they were hunting for Easter eggs?

  Tony Soprano : I'm in the waste management business. Everybody immediately assumes you're mobbed up. It's a stereotype. And it's offensive. And you're the last person I would want to perpetuate it... There is no Mafia.

  Meadow Soprano : Fine.

  Tony Soprano : Alright look, Mead, you're a grown woman, almost. Some of my money comes from illegal gambling and whatnot. How does that make you feel?

  Meadow Soprano : At least you don't keep denying it, like Mom. Kids in school think it's actually kinda neat.

  Tony Soprano : They seen "The Godfather", right?

  Meadow Soprano : Not really. "Casino" we like, Sharon Stone, the 70's clothes, pills...

  Tony Soprano : I'm not asking about those bums. I'm asking about you.

  Meadow Soprano : Sometimes I wish you were like other dads. But then, like... Mr. Scangarelo for example? An advertising executive for big tobacco. Or lawyers? So many dads are full of shit.

  Tony Soprano : Oh, and I'm not.

  Meadow Soprano : You finally told the truth about this.

  Tony Soprano : Look, Mead, part of my income comes from legitimate businesses, stock market...

  Meadow Soprano : Look, Dad, please, okay? Don't start mealy-mouthing.

• Tony Soprano : [regarding Father Phil]  What you guys do for twelve hours? Play, uh, "Name That Pope"?

  Carmela Soprano : He gave me communion.

  Tony Soprano : Oh, I bet he gave you communion.

  Carmela Soprano : Excuse me?

  Tony Soprano : Well, Carmela, the guy spends the night here with you and all he does is slip you a wafer?

  Carmela Soprano : That's verging on sacrilege.

  Tony Soprano : Oh, I didn't mean to verge.

• Tony Soprano : There was a time, Mead, when the Italian people didn't have a lot of options.

  Meadow Soprano : You mean like Mario Cuomo?

  [Tony stares at her] 

  Meadow Soprano : Sorry.

  Tony Soprano : You know I put food on the table. My father was in it. My uncle was in it. Maybe I was too lazy to think for myself. To consider myself... A rebel. Maybe being a rebel in my family would have been selling patio furniture on route 22.

• Tony Soprano : [Tony strangles "Fred Peters" with a wire from behind]  Good morning rat!

  Fred Peters : [struggling]  Who are you? What is this?

  Tony Soprano : Don't make me laugh! You pimp! You fuck!

  Fred Peters : Teddy, there must be something we can...

  Tony Soprano : Tony! It's Tony, you fuck! You know how much trouble you're in now? You took an oath, and you BROKE it!

  Fred Peters : I could have killed you last night outside the motel. Your daughter was drunk, remember? I was out at the parking lot, I had a gun, but I didn't do it. Because then I told myself

  [crying for his life] 

  Fred Peters : "It's just a coincidence! He's taking his little girl to college!"

  Tony Soprano : Well you know about us wiseguys? The hustle never ends. If you shot me at that motel, your life would have been flushed out on the pisciadood!

  Tony Soprano : Jimmy says "Hello" from hell, you fuck!

  [Tony strangles Fred Peters to death] 

• Tony Soprano : [over the phone]  Hey, I'm not sure but I think I just saw Fabian Petrulio

  Christopher Moltisanti : Refresh my memory

  Tony Soprano : What was it, before your time? Made guy, flipped about ten years ago: got busted for peddling H. Rat fuck took out a lot of people from our outfit. My old man was sick: he never recovered when he heard the news

  Christopher Moltisanti : You sure you saw this guy?

  Tony Soprano : That's what I'm saying. I think I did but I'm not sure

  Christopher Moltisanti : Up in Maine, what the fuck?

  Tony Soprano : He went into the witness protection program, then they kicked him out. Now he goes to colleges, gets paid all kinds of money to talk about what a big bad Mafioso he was

  Christopher Moltisanti : Piece of shit

  Tony Soprano : Febby and me partied couple times but Jackie Aprile knew him real good: we did a couple counts together up in Lewisburg. As a matter of fact, you know that bust that was in his rec room of Sinatra? Febby made it for him in a prison workshop
