Quotes

Carmela Soprano : So Finn, Meadow's telling me your going skiing?
Finn Detrolio : For four days next week a whole bunch of us: a friend of my dad has a cabin near Montreal. You can ski right onto the trails
Meadow Soprano : I saw the pictures, there's this humongous stone fire place
Carmela Soprano : Just be careful with all the accidents you read about: Sonny Bono
Tony Soprano : How about you Alex? Do you ski?
Alessandra : I used to, my family had a retreat near the Pyrenees
Tony Soprano : Pyrenees?
Meadow Soprano : Aless is descended from Spanish royalty
Tony Soprano : Seriously?
Colin McDermott : She's our little princess
Alessandra : My great, great grandmother was a countess
Carmela Soprano : [to Meadow] you should've told me you were living with royalty
Tony Soprano : My daughter's an Italian princess, does that count? My wife too for that matter
Meadow Soprano : There's more chicken if anybody wants?
Tony Soprano : Yeah I'll take a little more
Finn Detrolio : [Including him into the conversation] so AJ, your a junior?
A.J. Soprano : Next year
Finn Detrolio : Are you looking at any schools yet?
A.J. Soprano : Not really, I'll go to Rutgers I guess
Meadow Soprano : Are you passing everything?
A.J. Soprano : I got a C on a paper I did on Billy Budd
Carmela Soprano : [Disappointed] A C?
Tony Soprano : [to Carmella] he usually gets D's and F's, what's with you today? You ok?
Carmela Soprano : You worked so hard on it, why only a C?
A.J. Soprano : I don't know
Finn Detrolio : Did you like Billy Budd?
A.J. Soprano : It was ok. My teacher said it's a gay book
Carmela Soprano : Mr. Wegler? Oh that is ridiculous
Finn Detrolio : [while Colin and Aless nod] I've heard that before
Carmela Soprano : That was written when? The nineteenth century?
A.J. Soprano : Yeah, I didn't even know they had fags back then
Meadow Soprano : [Chastising him for saying something offensive] AJ
Tony Soprano : [to Colin] no offense
Colin McDermott : Oh, I'm not gay
Tony Soprano : Your not?
Colin McDermott : No
Finn Detrolio : [Jokingly] I read where they found gay cave drawings in Africa
Alessandra : Really?
Alessandra : [Realizes he was teasing her] shut up
Carmela Soprano : This stuff is pervading our educational system, not to mention movies, TV shows
-
Meadow Soprano : What stuff?
Carmela Soprano : This gay nonsense their teaching. I am sorry but Billy Budd is not a homosexual book
Meadow Soprano : Actually, it is mother
Carmela Soprano : I saw the movie Meadow with Terence Stamp
Colin McDermott : Terence Stamp was in the Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
Carmela Soprano : I don't know about that but Billy Budd is a story about an innocent sailor being picked on by an evil boss
Meadow Soprano : Who's picking on him out of self loathing caused by homosexual feelings in the military context
Carmela Soprano : Oh, please
A.J. Soprano : OK
Alessandra : Actually Mrs. Soprano, there's a passage in the book where Melville compares Billy to a statue of Adam before the fall
A.J. Soprano : Really?
Tony Soprano : I thought you read it?

Furio Giunta : [while entering the kitchen] what's the smell is in this house? It's like the smell of heaven
Carmela Soprano : Homemade scones, my son loves them. Here try one, they're just out of the oven
Furio Giunta : No, thank you
A.J. Soprano : Well, that's all there is for breakfast? Just fat and carbs?
Carmela Soprano : Excuse me, we have guest you think you might say hello?
A.J. Soprano : [ignores her, continues to read from his paper about the novel Billy Budd by Herman Melville to his mother] anyway, "when Mr. Claggart gets mad at Billy, it is a surprise because his always saying how handsome Billy is, this does not seem realistic because why would an officer care if a sailor was handsome or not?"
Carmela Soprano : [after Tony walks downs the stars and takes a bite from a scone] AJ, your father's living I'll come up in a minute, go over it
Carmela Soprano : [Reads from the envelop Tony hands her] what is this? Ocean Club at Paradise Island
Tony Soprano : We leave tomorrow for three beautiful days
Carmela Soprano : Tomorrow?
Tony Soprano : I know its short notice but the deal came through, got a view suite, first class plane tickets, a guy owes me a favor
Tony Soprano : [Seeing her worried] what?
Carmela Soprano : I don't know, AJ? School?
Tony Soprano : His old enough to spoil himself now. I saw how jealous you were when I left for Florida
Carmela Soprano : [Giving him reasons why it's not a practical time for them to go on a vacation] my mother with the skin condition, just the time it's going to take to pack
Tony Soprano : To pack?
Furio Giunta : [Sensing they want to talk privately] I'll wait outside
Tony Soprano : All the shit's that's been going on, the horse and all. I know you need a break: deep down it's probably why you got your hair cut
