Quotes 

• Tony Soprano : Grandpa. Did he ever work for somebody named Trillo? He owned a lumber yard?

  Junior Soprano : My father was a master stone mason. He never cut fucking wood.

• Silvio Dante : [referring to Ralph's snubbing of Tony]  "Another time, Anthony"?

  Tony Soprano : Cocksucker turns his back on the boss?

  Silvio Dante : That, I couldn't believe.

  Tony Soprano : Lucky I didn't put one in his fuckin' head.

  Silvio Dante : On that front, don't be surprised if Paulie pops the question. Raphie's star is rising. All those unions. Paulie can't come near that kind of cash for us.

  Tony Soprano : Ralph's a good earner.

  Silvio Dante : A guy like that? Loose cannon. He'll be leaving your house, he'll pull a "Jack Ruby" on you.

  Tony Soprano : Why did I have to punch this fuckin' asshole?

  Silvio Dante : Frankly, I was a little surprised.

  Tony Soprano : Are you gonna start on me now? He disrespected The Bing.

  Silvio Dante : So? He's barred from the place.

  Tony Soprano : He bashed that poor girl's brains in.

  Silvio Dante : I hear you. I know. It was a tragedy. The fact is though: she was not related to you by blood or marriage. She was not your goomar. Ralphie's a made guy, Ton'. All things considered, he's got a legitimate beef. Make him disappear, or make nice. You only got two choices. I would suggest something in the way of an apology.

  Tony Soprano : Absolutely fucking not!

  Silvio Dante : Do something public to show there's no bad blood.

• Tony Soprano : [Eating while ignoring Ralphie when he approached the table as Christopher and Paulie stand guard nearby]  you wanted to see me?

  Ralph Cifaretto : [after he cleared his throat when he approached Tony's table so Tony will acknowledge his presence]  yeah Tony

  Tony Soprano : [Pretending not to know Ralphie's wrongdoings]  about what?

  Ralph Cifaretto : About what? You know, to apologize

  Tony Soprano : Oh

  Ralph Cifaretto : I was doing a lot of coke, I said some things, and I did some things that I'm sorry for. It's not going to happen again.

  Tony Soprano : [Continuing to pretend not to know Ralphie's wrongdoings so Ralphie can specifically admit each one]  what'd you do?

  Ralph Cifaretto : [Eventually referring to killing the stripper Tracee in the back parking lot of Silvio's strip club]  I was rude when you offered me the drink and I disrespected The Bing with the girl. Like I said I was doing a lot of coke and I gave up that up: end of story and I'm sorry Tony, ok?

  Tony Soprano : [Before Ralphie shakes his head and walks away]  anything else?

• Tony Soprano : Its 3am, I'm wide awake

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Something specific?

  Tony Soprano : It's a "management" problem, it's a situation with an underling, now it's partly my fault. But he have never done what he did

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : What was it? Could you tell me that?

  Tony Soprano : Caused an early "retirement" for somebody else, I think he thought he was more important, he fucked up. Now ordinarily I'd just you know, just put him "out to pasture". But his a very valuable piece of man power

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Is it complicated by a personal relationship?

  Tony Soprano : [Intentionally changing the subject]  I've been reading that book you were telling me about The Art of War by Sun Tzu

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [Nods] 

  Tony Soprano : I mean here's this guy, a Chinese general wrote this thing twenty four hundred years ago and most of it still applies today, bought the enemy's power, force him to reveal himself

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [Interrupts him]  I have to ask, are you in any sort of danger?

  Tony Soprano : No, can I go on? Most of the guys I know read Prince Machiavelli and I had Carmela get the Cliffs Notes once and his ok, but this book is much better about strategy

  Tony Soprano : [Intentionally changing the subject]  Listen I wanted to ask you about that woman that was here today, the Mercedes sales lady

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I'm very sorry about the confusion

  Tony Soprano : What does someone like that need a shrink for?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I can't talk about another patient

  Tony Soprano : It just makes you wonder that's all

• Ralph Cifaretto : You wanted to see me?

  Tony Soprano : Sit down. I'm making you a captain

  Ralph Cifaretto : [Surprised, excited]  you are? That's great. That's fuckin great. Anthony, you're not going to be sorry. Thank you

  Tony Soprano : [after noticing Ralphie paused for a few seconds]  what?

  Ralph Cifaretto : I need to hear it was merit and not just because someone was constipated and "blew a gasket."

  Tony Soprano : You're going to be making a lot more money so don't question it. You want to be a captain? You're a captain

  Ralph Cifaretto : Thank you Tony, your right. I wanted this so fuckin long

  Tony Soprano : Well you know what they say: "Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it"

  Ralph Cifaretto : [Before Tony takes a shot of liquor by himself, stands up and leaves]  so are we going to have a drink together or what?

• Gloria Trillo : [while in Melfi's waiting area, gestures to Melfi's office]  You waiting somebody in there?

  Tony Soprano : I got an appointment

  Gloria Trillo : Did she double book us? I'm usually Thursday but I had to reschedule because of the holiday

  Tony Soprano : This is when I usually come, I'm trying to... quit smoking

  Gloria Trillo : [jokingly]  Serial killer: I murdered seven relationships

  Tony Soprano : [after laughing]  Listen, your here, why don't you take my appointment?

  Gloria Trillo : Oh, no I couldn't do that

  Tony Soprano : It'd be my good deed for the day

• Junior Soprano : [referring to the authorities monitoring him]  anybody see you come in?

  Tony Soprano : [jokingly]  yeah

  Junior Soprano : fuck it, I don't give a shit anymore

  Tony Soprano : [points to the bag his carrying]  I brought you some leftover turkey and stuffing

  Junior Soprano : keep it: everything goes through me and these drafts, I should be down in Boca

  Tony Soprano : [after entering the room, referring to the temperature]  drafts? It's like the fuckin Amazon jungle in here. What's the thermostat say?

  Junior Soprano : [raises his voice, while wrapped in a blanket]  don't touch it!

  Tony Soprano : alright, Jesus

  Tony Soprano : [sits down next to him on the couch]  Grandpa. Did he ever work for somebody named Trillo? He owned a lumber yard?

  Junior Soprano : My father was a master stone mason. He never cut fuckin wood

  Tony Soprano : a contractor then, do garden apartments?

  Junior Soprano : there was somebody named Trillo, he had seven daughters, I can't remember. I thought you were gonna ask my advice about Ralph Cifaretto?

  Tony Soprano : got any thoughts?

  Tony Soprano : what else do I have left? Real contretemps you have on your hands here: a good kid but you never should've put Gigi in there

  Tony Soprano : his strong, good earner, well respected

  Junior Soprano : not by that crew and that means the guy coming is over on the "butt end", they don't trust him: they undermine him. On top of that, you got Ralph pissing in their ears. Any day your gonna have a mutiny on your hands

  Tony Soprano : so, I take Gigi out, what kind of "message" does that send?

  Junior Soprano : that your indecisive and unsure of yourself

  Tony Soprano : exactly, who the fuck do I replace him with anyway?

  Junior Soprano : all good questions

  Tony Soprano : what's the fuckin answer?

  Junior Soprano : who says there is one? That's what being a boss is. You steer the ship the best way you know. Sometimes its smooth, sometimes you hit the rocks. In the meantime, you find your pleasures where you can

• Johnny Sack : Ralph Cifaretto came by

  Tony Soprano : [Jokingly]  Yeah, what'd he want? A fully fueled jet and a safe trip to the Pope?

  Johnny Sack : His running scared since you canceled Thanksgiving dinner

  Tony Soprano : [Quoting Sun Tzu]  If your opponent is of choleric temper, irritate him

  Johnny Sack : He wants to apologize

  Tony Soprano : Oh really?

  Johnny Sack : Would that put this to rest?

  Tony Soprano : If it's sincere it might relieve me of a very unpleasant decision

  Johnny Sack : You know we're about to break ground on the Esplanade, we're talking about millions of dollars here, it wouldn't hurt either of us to have a point man that feels appreciated. I'm just saying it wouldn't hurt to throw him a bone

  Tony Soprano : Like what?

  Johnny Sack : Capo?

  Tony Soprano : No fuckin way. Never. You heard what he did the poor girl, she just had a twentieth birthday

  Johnny Sack : Capo is what he mentioned. I threw cold water on it right away but she was a whore

  Tony Soprano : You know I don't want to talk about that situation again with anybody, you understand me?

  Johnny Sack : It was just a suggestion, keep a happy shop

  Tony Soprano : Correct me if I'm wrong, didn't you say you weren't going to stick your beak in?

  Johnny Sack : Can't two friends talk?
