Quotes 

• Carmela Soprano : [During family dinner]  what? Did everybody take a "vow of silence" or something? Nobody's got nothing to report?

  A.J. Soprano : I've got to write a report on DNA for biology

  Carmela Soprano : Isn't that interesting? I just saw on Inside Edition how there will be no more "unknown soldiers" because of DNA now: they will be able to identify every single casualty of combat

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [to Meadow]  pass me some of the macaroni and cheese?

  Janice Soprano : You know Tony, I know you don't like to talk about her but that woman is impossible: she's a complete narcissist, I mean she's always "me, me, me". Really kudos, you are a saint

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You were right the first time, I don't want to talk about it

  Meadow Soprano : [to Tony and Janice]  you were talking about grandma?

  Janice Soprano : When she pushes those buttons, she's a big baby you know?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [to Janice, irritated]  this is my house, how many times I do have to say it?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Sarcastically to Meadow after she makes an insulting comment]  you got something to say? The little girl's about to get her license might want to drive one of those cars in the driveway in the next hundred years

  Janice Soprano : It's my fault Meadow, I was "insensitive" to his feelings

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [to Janice]  thank you

  Carmela Soprano : [to Janice and Tony, referring to them peacefully resolving an argument]  you see that? You see how easy that was?

  Janice Soprano : [Sarcastically to Tony]  so Mr. "delegated Power of Attorney", have you given it any thought? Can my girlfriend have the listing? You know? The house?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Referring to their mother's home]  as long as it gets sold, I don't give a fuck who lists it

  A.J. Soprano : [Making a joke]  hey, what did one prick say to the other prick?

  Carmela Soprano : [to Tony]  you see that? See what happens with you cursing at the dinner table?

• Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [while in his driveway]  hey, I want to talk to you. The fuck you were doing with that real estate sign?

  Janice Soprano : Oh yeah, I wanted to talk to you about that

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I'm selling Ma's house, do you understand? I want that fuckin sign in the fuckin ground and that's it: end of discussion, period!

  Janice Soprano : You're so "left brained". Whether the sign's there or not, the house is still for sale. The real estate agent still has the listing

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Yeah? Then what was the sign doing in the back of your car? And don't try to deny it

  Janice Soprano : Because I'm trying to save a little money, is that alright? Do you remember Kathy Fiaola? She was in my class at Sacred Heart? With the birthmark?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Not remembering, irritated]  what about her?

  Janice Soprano : She's in real estate now: she said she would only charge three percent commission, that's half alright? Thousands of dollars, I mean it may not seem like a lot of money to you but maybe Ma could use it?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Yeah? Fuck her? And next time you disappear for a week take that piece of shit and park it in the street: this isn't a fuckin hotel

• Janice Soprano : I'm sorry Tony but the hospital's going to need a decision on this. If you're going to have Power of Attorney, you're going to have to act like one

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Who gives a fuck, DNR or no DNR?

  Janice Soprano : Yeah ok, great, so what happens when she goes into a coma and they have to keep her alive with tubes and machines because you won't sign the DNR?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [raises his voice]  what? When she becomes a vegetable, she's not going to give a fuck about anything

  Janice Soprano : To deprive her a place to live: to deprive me of my chance to make peace with my mother

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You know what? Take her, you can have her. The two of you in that house, you deserve each other. It'll be worth it just to watch, it'll be like what happened to baby Janice over there. I'll give you your fuckin DNR

• Meadow Soprano : Thanks for this: it's hard to find people over twenty five to drive with

  Janice Soprano : Don't ever let them know you drove me to buy some pot, which should be legal

  Meadow Soprano : [Referring to her father]  I just hate the way he thinks he can talk to you, it's so obnoxious

  Janice Soprano : His insecure. His afraid to leave New Jersey and his threatened by anybody who's "broken free"

  Meadow Soprano : It's too pathetic

  Janice Soprano : How about grandma in that rehab center?

  Meadow Soprano : I know I've been dying to see her: I've had so much homework. Plus all this community service you have to do to get into a descent college. I bring food to homeless shelters

  Janice Soprano : You know grandma pretty well don't you?

  Meadow Soprano : I guess

  Janice Soprano : What is she into?

  Meadow Soprano : I don't know... negativity?

  Janice Soprano : Seriously, there has to be something that gives pleasure. Isn't there anything she likes doing?

  Meadow Soprano : My dad used to try to find her these old records... these sisters?

  Janice Soprano : [after thinking it over]  oh, The DeCastro Sisters, right?

• Janice Soprano : [while in Tony's backyard]  I miss the fireflies out west

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : It's why I moved out here: a little bit of nature

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Before she shakes her head]  listen, when you were in Seattle, you ever drive by Jimi Hendrix's house?

  Janice Soprano : No. You know I know it's not your favorite subject but we had some really good news about ma at the hospital today: her rehab therapist said she's making tremendous strides and it's not going to be long before they release her

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : How can she make tremendous strides when there's nothing wrong with her in the first place?

  Janice Soprano : It's called "face saving therapy." The patient has to believe that their getting therapy. Believe me, Medicare is not gonna pay for it if it's not as necessary as "real" therapy, would they?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : And the taxpayer "foots" the bill

  Janice Soprano : It's not much longer now, she's gonna need a place to stay

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [dismissively]  she's out in the street

  Janice Soprano : It is her house

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [reminding her of what he previously thinks about their mother "She's dead to me"]  "dead" people don't have houses

  Janice Soprano : Daddy bought that house

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I'll tell you what, take her back to Green Grove

  Janice Soprano : What? The nursing home?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Irritated, insisting there's a difference]  it's a "retirement community"

  Janice Soprano : You know I don't have that kind of money

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [after he ignores her]  fuck you
