- Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri: Mom started going downhill after the World Trade Center. You know Quasimodo predicted all this.
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Who did what?
- Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri: All these problems - the Middle East, the end of the world.
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Nostradamus. Quasimodo's the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
- Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri: Oh right. Notre Damus.
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Nostradamus, and Notre Dame. Two different things completely.
- Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri: It's interesting though, they'd be so similar, isn't it?" And I always thought okay, Hunchback of Notre Dame. You also got your quarterback and halfback of Notre Dame.
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: One's a fucking cathedral.
- Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri: Obviously. I know, I'm just saying. It's interesting, the coincidence. What you're gonna tell me you never pondered that? The back thing with Notre Dame?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: No!
- Carmine Lupertazzi: One other thing though. John told me he went to a cookout at your house.
- Tony Soprano: Yeah.
- Carmine Lupertazzi: A don doesn't wears shorts.
- Christopher Moltisanti: So, you're telling me you didn't take cash from Jilly Ruffalo, to kill my father?
- Detective Lieutenant Barry Haydu: I never even heard of Jilly Ruffalo.
- Christopher Moltisanti: [points a gun at him] Oh, really?
- Detective Lieutenant Barry Haydu: Look, whoever told you this, is setting you up. He's lying.
- Christopher Moltisanti: Well, either way, it wouldn't make any difference.
- Detective Lieutenant Barry Haydu: WHAT DO YOU MEAN, IT WON'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE?
- Christopher Moltisanti: Because, he wants you dead.
- Tony Soprano: [Tony chastises his assembled captains who aren't making enough money for the crime family] This thing is a "pyramid" since time immemorial, shit goes downhill, money goes up: it's that simple. I should not have to be coming here "hat in my hand", reminding you of your duty to that man.
- Tony Soprano: [pointing at Raymond] and I don't want to hear about the fuckin economy either! I don't want to hear it. Sil, break it down for them. What two businesses have traditionally been recession proof since time immemorial?
- Silvio Dante: Certain aspects of show business... and our thing.
- Tony Soprano: Now that's it. That's all I've gotta say. Frankly, I'm depressed and ashamed.
- Christopher Moltisanti: Of course Tony can count on me! When the fuck have I not been there for him 100%?
- [shoots heroin into his foot]
- Tony Soprano: [as he enters the Bada Bing strip club, referring to the captains Silvio assembled together to meet Tony for a private meeting] they over there?
- Silvio Dante: I was able to reach everybody

- Tony Soprano: You're going to argue with me now?
- Georgie: No, Tone
- Tony Soprano: You don't have to see the monthly statements from this place we're hemorrhaging fuckin money out of here
- Georgie: No, Tone your right I don't
- Tony Soprano: You think that shit grows on trees?
- Georgie: [Genuinely confused by his idiom] ice? No I don't
- Tony Soprano: What, are you getting cute with me?
- Georgie: No
- Tony Soprano: I think you are. I think you're getting a fuckin attitude on you
- Georgie: I'm not. Ice, Tone when it hangs around...
- Silvio Dante: [Interrupts him, implying he should stop talking or he'll anger Tony even further] Georgie, be quiet
- Georgie: It gets watery, it dilutes the drinks, especially scotch
- Silvio Dante: [Shakes his head, knowing Tony's going to beat Georgie] Jesus Christ
- Tony Soprano: [throws a cup of ice at him from his right then beats him with the empty metal ice bucket] here throw it all away, waste it all Mr. John D. Rockefeller, waste it all!
- Adriana La Cerva: Is Tony still actin' all mean?
- Christopher Moltisanti: Fuckin' asshole. Ever since I questioned his judgment on some Ralphie/Jackie Jr. problem. Like he's fuckin' infallible, pope Tony the 23rd or some shit.
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [while in a dinner] so you mentally prepared for this promotion?
- Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri: oh, yeah
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: how's that steak?
- Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri: it's ok
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [yells to the waitress] hun?
- Waitress: yeah?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: another steak sand over here: rare
- Waitress: coming up
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: it's a lot of added responsibility
- Bobby "Bacala" Baccalieri: I think it should've happened sooner
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: how's your family doing, you know, since the tragedy with your dad?

- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Take me to my uncle's doctor
- Christopher Moltisanti: Furio called me, his going to the fuckin track today?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: So, what about it?
- Christopher Moltisanti: I don't know, I'm driving you again all of a sudden
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: So what? I gotta explain why I want you with me this week?
- Christopher Moltisanti: [sarcastically] God, forbid you explain
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: That's right and now you're gonna get fresh about it
- Christopher Moltisanti: I'm just saying... I mean I'm glad to do it
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [sarcastically] I'm glad your glad. You know, your father was like a mentor me
- Christopher Moltisanti: Right
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [referring to Christopher's father was reliable and honorable] Stand up? You ask anybody, your old man was a legend. He single-handedly hunted down that New England crew, brought the war home to them up there
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: I want to know why there's zero growth in this family's receipts. Where's the fucking money? You're supposed to be earners. That's why you've got the top-tiered positions. So I want each one of you to go out to your people on the street, crack some fucking heads, making some fucking earnings out there!
- Nurse: [Informing him the doctor's ready to see him] Mr. Soprano
- Junior Soprano: [Smiles, stands up from his chair in the waiting room] There she is
- Nurse: [Knowing he is going to flirt with her] You be good now, don't start
- Junior Soprano: You ought to see my finish
- Nurse: You know, you can get sued for talk like that nowadays
- Junior Soprano: then cancel my appointment: Let me die down now if a man can't voice his love to a beautiful woman
- Nurse: [after showing him to his observation room] My God, will you listen to him today? Go in there now and strip down to your shorts
- Junior Soprano: You see now? I'm not gonna touch that line: too much class and as for that lovely laugh line...
- Nurse: Come on handsome, we're busy
- Junior Soprano: [Asking to kiss her] Give me that cheek, right here, I surrender, do with me what you will
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [meeting privately in Junior's doctor's clinic] What'd you want to talk to me about?
- Junior Soprano: My trial starts a week from Tuesday
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: You'll beat it: Melvoin's good
- Junior Soprano: We need to change our arrangement
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Which arrangement is that?
- Junior Soprano: These fuckin lawyers are taking my internal organs: a million bucks for this trial Melvoin and Hershwin are charging and if that was bad enough, now they put this Harvard kid on, this lackey. I don't know what the fuck he does and then they just decided we need audibility experts to testify you can't determine what the defendant is saying on these government tapes, I could fuckin tell them that
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Yeah, well, those guys got sound graphs and shit
- Junior Soprano: Fifty grand the cocksuckers are charging. Plus, the minimization expert, plus the monthly expenses, fuckin Lexis fees, the Xeroxing, an entire forest in the north west must've given its life in Xerox papers for this one fuckin trial. I said to Mel Can't we have one fuckin meeting and use the same sheet of paper and pass it around?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Our split stays the same
- Junior Soprano: You kept me in place as boss, to take the heat off you: my legal problems have you strutting around for two fuckin years now
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: There you go

- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [over the payphone from jail] that's all I got pal, time
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: the fuck happened down there?
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: didn't Tony tell you? Sil?
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: he just mentioned in passing that you were doing "the book" in the county in Youngstown: we didn't have a long to talk
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: [when Paulie doesn't respond] hello?
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: let me first say I can't tell you how touched I was when my nephew told me you wanted me to call: Anthony talks to me only through middle men
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: so, what'd they "pinch" you for?
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: gun charge, I drove out to visit Lenny Scortese, I don't know if you know Lenny: him and I used to have that little club down in...
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: [interrupts him] doesn't matter
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: anyway, my first night here, we drive out to visit Dean Martin's birthplace in Steubenville, cops pull over us for an old left blinker: long story short, they find a "piece" under the seat, fuckin 38. Turns it out it was used in an unsolved murder from eight years ago
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: oh, Jesus
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: yeah
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: so, what could I do to help?
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: your too much: nothing, the lawyer says they'll keep us here as long as they can until they make their case or unless if someone "cops" to it

- Carmela Soprano: [while in their living room] can I talk to you for a minute?
- Carmela Soprano: [referring to the TV] can I turn this off?
- Tony Soprano: [referring to the volume] turn it down
- Carmela Soprano: I'm worried
- Tony Soprano: about my weight?
- Carmela Soprano: about money
- Tony Soprano: so, you're getting a little less allowance than usual, I told you it's temporary: Superbowl last year we didn't "lay" enough off
- Carmela Soprano: no, it's not just that. I'm worried about you, about the future, about me and the kids if "something" happens to you
- Tony Soprano: I don't provide for you?
- Carmela Soprano: I saw Angie Bonpensiero today: she was handing out free polish sausage at the supermarket
- Tony Soprano: stop with that, I supported her long enough. Your so worried about the money
- Carmela Soprano: who's gonna support your children? And me? If God forbid "something" happens to you, that's the point, Sil? Paulie? That is frightening
- Tony Soprano: you'll be taken care of
- Tony Soprano: [after she turns off the TV] your set-in perpetuity: there's money in overseas accounts
- Carmela Soprano: I don't have the serial numbers
- Tony Soprano: you'll have them when the time comes, not now, for your own benefit, so you're not an accomplice. Jesus Christ, I've been busting my "pick" all day long to bring home the money your so concerned about and I thought maybe I could have a sundae and "zone out" in front of the friggin TV because your right my job isn't stressful!
- Carmela Soprano: I am talking about some simple estate planning that's all: my cousin Brian Cammarata has helped a lot of people set up trusts for their kids, we can get asset allocations
- Tony Soprano: [referring to his income comes from illegal sources] I gotta spell this out for you? I can't declare X amount of my income
- Carmela Soprano: your consulting fees from Barone Sanitation, you do. We file the tax return to justify the house, the cars. We could be putting aside some of that to start a portfolio
- Tony Soprano: stocks? You gotta be high up in the corporate structure to make that shit work for you. We don't have those Enron type of "connections"
- Carmela Soprano: [referring to investing real estate] bonds then, there are these things called REITS", Brian told me about
- Tony Soprano: bonds? Where's the capital for that?
- Carmela Soprano: in the Caymans, or the under the mattress, or wherever you put it at zero growth
- Tony Soprano: the money stays where it is, with what's going on in the world today?
- Carmela Soprano: there's always some excuse
- Tony Soprano: [referring to the last time the authorities searched their home] there's no cash in this house, not since the last bust: check the vents and I provide for my children
- Carmela Soprano: yes, you do but I don't know how you do it because you won't tell me. Well, let me tell you something, or you can watch the fuckin news: everything comes to an end!
- Nurse: [informing him his doctor is ready to see him] Mr. Soprano
- Junior Soprano: [flirting by singing to her, after standing up from his chair in the waiting room] "I remember you, you're the one who made my dreams come true, a few kisses ago"
- Nurse: oh, boy
- Junior Soprano: you know, I'm gonna be busy the next couple months, but after that, me and you, what'd you say we run off to that city called "Atlantic"? I have many dear friends there, I could show you quite a time
- Nurse: thank you but I don't gamble
- Junior Soprano: [jokingly] with me, it's never a "gamble"
- Nurse: you know, today's my last day
- Junior Soprano: [disappointed] where you going?
- Nurse: I'm going back to school. Anyway, I'll come say "goodbye" when your done here
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [meeting privately in Junior's doctor's clinic] so, what is it today?
- Junior Soprano: it's becoming clear to me, Murf can't run my operations. While I'm in court, his starting to forget things... his words. Sometimes, there's food on the front of his shirt, the poor bastard. I'm gonna move Bobby up
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: I think it's a good choice
- Junior Soprano: I wasn't asking, I was telling, so, you'd know who to talk to
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [before Junior shakes his head] Bobby know yet? Well, I think we should bring him in here: his gonna be a very happy man
- Adriana La Cerva: [after he provoked Adriana's friend Danielle to leave] You are so fuckin rude!
- Christopher Moltisanti: I had a horrible God damn day: she's over here all the time now
- Adriana La Cerva: Is Tony still actin all mean?
- Christopher Moltisanti: Fuckin asshole. Ever since I questioned his judgment on some Ralphie, Jackie Jr. problem. Like he's fuckin infallible, Pope Tony the 23rd or some shit. Now of course, he starts in with my father so I can be compared all negative
- Adriana La Cerva: Jeez
- Christopher Moltisanti: [referring to Tony ordering someone to have him killed] You never know, I could be on the endangered species list
- Adriana La Cerva: Chrissy...
- Christopher Moltisanti: You gonna get high?
- Adriana La Cerva: Maybe I'll just smoke some?
- Christopher Moltisanti: It's more addictive than shooting
- Adriana La Cerva: I don't do it every fuckin day now, unlike some people
- Christopher Moltisanti: I'm just chippin, I got it under control
- Adriana La Cerva: Tony loves you, why would he have you made if he didn't depend on you?
- Christopher Moltisanti: He can depend on me. When the fuck have I ever not been there a hundred percent?
