Quotes 

• Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : To what do I owe this pleasure?

  Carmela Soprano : I don't know if you'll see it that way I asked you to lunch to tell you I'm filing for divorce

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : That's nice, you invite me to a public place so you can ambush me? So you think I won't make a scene?

  Carmela Soprano : Spare me your outrage accept the fact that I'm moving on with my life

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Moving on? That's what you were doing after the party last week?

  Carmela Soprano : You and I both know that didn't change anything

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : First of all we're Italian, we don't believe in divorce, we believe in the nuclear family

  Carmela Soprano : Despite your best efforts I have attorney who is going to aggressively pursue my custody of AJ and an equitable distribution of our assets

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Our assets?

  Carmela Soprano : I am through in trying to get you to provide beyond the minimum for me to live

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : So it's all fucking money? That's all this is to you?

  Carmela Soprano : After all we've been through is it so hard to own up to that bullshit tax return?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You want money? What about the forty grand you stole from the bird feeder? You're such an investment genius

  Carmela Soprano : You want this to get ugly? Because these guys live for that

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : And you think I don't? The only reason you have anything is because of my fucking sweat you knew every step of the way where the money comes from, you walk around in that mansion in your five hundred dollar shoes and diamond rings and you act like butter wouldn't melt in your mouth, you don't want it to get ugly? Too late

  Carmela Soprano : I want what I'm entitled to

• Carmela Soprano : You have options. I have an attorney.

• Carmela Soprano : You have options. I have a lawyer.

• Carmela Soprano : [referring to having sex with Tony after her father's seventy fifth birthday party]  Then he fell asleep right after. He did call me late the next morning: he sent flowers, but other than that, I haven't heard from him all week

  Gabriella Dante : What'd he say?

  Carmela Soprano : That it was "nice", he was very sweet actually

  Gabriella Dante : So, you think what happened at the party was an overture that he wants to get back together?

  Carmela Soprano : I don't know, maybe? His dropping AJ off later, this is the last thing I need to get into right now

  Gabriella Dante : Please, he never had it so good

  Carmela Soprano : [after hearing him pull into their driveway]  That's him

  Gabriella Dante : You two should talk, let me just pee

• Carmela Soprano : [over the over phone]  Hi, the reason I called, I gave your secretary the "broad strokes"

  Lee Nieman : You're in the middle of a separation: your original attorney retired

  Carmela Soprano : Right, Bob Greenberg. At any rate, I think it's time I move forward with the divorce proceedings...

  Lee Nieman : I'm afraid I'm going to have to cut you short. As far as handling it, I'm afraid I'm going to have to recuse myself

  Carmela Soprano : What'd you mean, why?

  Lee Nieman : Actually, your husband had been to see me for a consultation last year

  Carmela Soprano : My husband hired you?

  Lee Nieman : No, but based on our prior meeting, the code for professional responsibility precludes me from representing you because of that consultation

  Carmela Soprano : But he met with Greenberg too and he was willing to represent me

  Lee Nieman : Well, Mr. Greenberg would've found himself in a bit of ethical "soup" if he had he actually moved forward

  Carmela Soprano : See, I don't understand this: why is my husband so picky? He talked to seven or eight of the top divorce attorneys in New Jersey

  Lee Nieman : Well, you can probably figure that out that one for yourself

  Carmela Soprano : Jesus Christ

  Lee Nieman : I understand your frustration. If you'd like, I can recommend a colleague: someone your husband hasn't "contaminated"

  Carmela Soprano : [before hanging up]  Well, ok

• Lee Nieman : [referring to status of her and Tony's relationship]  and would you "characterize" the separation as amicable?

  Carmela Soprano : it's barely "civil". There are "moments" when "old habits" kick in, feelings mostly but he is definitely not the person I want to spend the rest of my life with

  Lee Nieman : [referring to the paperwork]  fair enough. As far as the assets, you've given me tax returns and investments here?

  Carmela Soprano : the house is in my name: not the boat

  Lee Nieman : [referring to the name of the boat]  that's "The Stugots", is it?

  Carmela Soprano : yes, I'm a little concerned, the returns don't reflect everything: there is other income, a lot more

  Lee Nieman : unreported income?

  Carmela Soprano : yes

  Lee Nieman : and this other income, is it from an illegal stream?

  Carmela Soprano : no, of course not. He does deal in cash, my husband: his carting business

  Lee Nieman : I see

  Carmela Soprano : is that a problem?

  Lee Nieman : I handled a case once, where the husband owned vending machines, I used a forensic accountant to reconstruct his finances, in less than a week, he outlined eleven years of income and we're talking coins
