- Meadow Soprano: [on the phone] Is dad there?
- Carmela Soprano: He's out back by the grill.
- Meadow Soprano: Burning a cross?
- Johnny Boy Soprano: [after Tony witnessed his father cutting someone's thumb with a cleaver] What you seen today Anthony, a very sad thing.
- [stern]
- Johnny Boy Soprano: You disobeyed your old man, and I oughta give you the belt. But I gotta say... a lot of boys your age would have run like a little girl.
- [glad]
- Johnny Boy Soprano: But you stayed. I know you like Mr. Satriale, we all do, he's a lovely man, the man is a gambler. He got over in his debt, he owed me money and he refused to pay. He avoided me. That's why you... should never gamble Anthony. What was I supposed to do? That's my livelihood, that's how I put food on the table. You should never gamble Anthony!
- Young Livia Soprano: [from the kitchen] Johnny, dinner's ready! Anthony! Janice turn that off!
- Johnny Boy Soprano: Let this be a lesson to you. A man, honors his debts!
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [Advising Christopher] You're a "made guy" now, it's your turn to make a little extra money and I get to relax a little. Your only problem in life, is that you give me ten points of your take, every settle up day, other than that you've got no problem. My problem is I've got to kick up my points to Tony and on we go with "this "thing of ours". But, ten points, that can be a lot or a little. It all depends on you and how much business you bring in. When you think of all the headaches most people go through in life, ours is all boiled down to one. Not a bad deal right?
- Tony Soprano: [to Christopher and Eugene during their making ceremony] you know why we're here, if you have any or reservations now is the time to say so, no one will think less of you this family comes before anything else EVERYTHING before your wife and your children and your mother and your father it's a thing of honor and God forbid you get sick and something happens to you and you can't earn we'll take care of you because that's part of it
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: If you have a problem you just have to let somebody know
- [turns to tony this man right here]
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: his like your father it doesn't matter if it's somebody here or the outside you bring it to him and he'll solve it for you
- Tony Soprano: You stay within the family, give me your hand
- [tony takes a needle from Paulie and pricks a finger from Christopher and Eugene]
- Tony Soprano: that's St. Peter, my family's saint as that card burns so may your soul burn in hell if you betray your friends in your family
- [puts the burning St. Peter card in Christopher and Eugene's hands]
- Tony Soprano: now rub your hands like this and repeat after me: May I burn in hell if I betray my friends
- Christopher Moltisanti: May I burn in hell if I betray my friends
- Eugene Pontecorvo: May I burn in hell if I betray my friends
- Tony Soprano: Congratulations
- [everyone applauses]
- Tony Soprano: [to Jackie Jr] I'm going to say a few things: I'm just going to say some bad words and your just going to have to deal with it, I know what you're thinking, you're thinking I clipped your uncle. I didn't. I got some bad news for you your uncle was a rat. I've known you since you were a kid, I'm practically a member of your family and this hurt all of us.
- Tony Soprano: [Referring to his recollection of his mother excited by fresh meat] it was probably the only time the old man got laid
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Probably
- Tony Soprano: Pretty sick huh? Getting turned ob by free cold cuts
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Do you think you questioned why the meat was free? The meat that was going into her children's mouths?
- Tony Soprano: [Referring to his parent's intimacy] I don't know, I don't want to know, I don't even want to think about any of this shit
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: I'm sure it was too much for you then too, that's why you short-circuited. Puberty, witnessing not only your mother and father's sexuality but also the violence and blood so connected to the food you were about to eat. And also the thought that someday, you might be called upon to "bring home the bacon", like your father
- Tony Soprano: All this from a slice of gabagool?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Kind of like Proust's Madeleine's
- Tony Soprano: [Confused] what?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Marcel Proust wrote a seven volume classic: Remembrance of Things Past. He took a bite of a Madeleine, it's kind of a tea cookie he used to have when he was a child and that one bite unleashed a tide of memories of his entire childhood and ultimately of his entire life
- Tony Soprano: This sounds very gay, I hope you're not saying that
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: No, understanding root causes will make you less vulnerable to future episodes
- Tony Soprano: My fuckin head is swimming here
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: We're going have to stop, it's a lot to process but we've made real progress today, good work and I'd really like you to write down any thoughts or "associations."
- Artie Bucco: Any word from your Ivy Leaguer? And how's Carmella with the "empty nest"?
- Tony Soprano: What "empty"? every five minutes Meadow's home with a laundry bag but she's hauling food out, why'd she talk about Berkeley when she could barely make it over the George Washington Bridge?
- Artie Bucco: We created too nice of a home life for them, they don't want to go out to the world. But hey, they're closer to us than we were with our parents, that's not such a bad thing
- Tony Soprano: [to Jackie Jr. implying that his late] what time is it?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: I'm here aren't I? Out of respect to my father
- Furio Giunta: [Sensing Tony wants to talk to Jackie Jr. in private and leaves the table] I have to make a phone call
- Tony Soprano: [Gestures to an empty seat] sit down
- Tony Soprano: You want something to eat?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: Not hungry
- Tony Soprano: [Jokingly] that's too bad. I said "lunch meat"
- Tony Soprano: Want a drink?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: [Shakes his head]
- Tony Soprano: Lose the glasses
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: [Moves the sunglasses to the top of his head]
- Tony Soprano: Now I'm going to say a few things: I'm going to say some bad words, and your just going to have to deal with it. Now I know what your thinking. Your thinking I clipped your uncle. On the one hand you'd be a shit head to believe me if I told you I didn't do it. But I didn't. I got some news for you. Your uncle was a rat
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: [Suddenly stands up in anger] no fuckin way
- Tony Soprano: Sit down, sit the fuck down
- Tony Soprano: Your uncle was a rat and now his in the witness protection program
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: That's my father's brother your talking about
- Tony Soprano: Jackie, I'm a member of your family almost, you think I'm the only one that knows this about Richie? You ask anybody. This hurt all of us
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: [Beginning to be convinced by Tony] Jesus Christ
- Tony Soprano: Your dad and me, you know how close we were? He never wanted this for you. He wanted you to be a doctor
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: Give me a fuckin break
- Tony Soprano: Let me tell you something: besides the money which is a shit load of, a doctor is a very powerful position
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: I'm no doctor. Do you know how hard you have to work to get your MD? How many years it takes? I was even thinking maybe Osteopathy, but I don't think I have the grades for that even
- Tony Soprano: But your not going to drop out of Rutgers are you?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: No, but those fuckin Pre-med courses almost killed me. I only did it because my dad was sick
- Tony Soprano: But you should know he never wanted this life for you. And I'll tell you something: I don't want it for my son either
- Carmine Lupertazzi: So, you feeling, ok?
- Tony Soprano: Oh, you mean about my mother? I mean what're you gonna do? You pick up the pieces and you go on
- Carmine Lupertazzi: I meant your spells
- Tony Soprano: They're not spells. How the fuck do you know about that way over in New York?
- Carmine Lupertazzi: Everybody knows, there's nothing to be ashamed of. For Christ's sake, Julius Caesar was an epileptic
- Tony Soprano: I'm not an epileptic
- Carmine Lupertazzi: Whatever it is, you gotta take care of yourself... it's your health. Is the psychiatrist helping?
- Tony Soprano: Oh, you know about that too
- Carmine Lupertazzi: [shrugs] so what? There's no stigmata these days: my kid saw a shrink, he got caught up with that thing with his wife, their very happy now
- Tony Soprano: What ever happened to privacy?
- Carmine Lupertazzi: Our Family's been doing our Jersey business for a long time with the Sopranos in a peaceful and profitable way and I wanna keep it like that. Take care of this for me, ok?
- Tony Soprano: Alright
- Carmine Lupertazzi: Why fuck around? Be a better friend to yourself
- Tony Soprano: I will and I appreciate your concern, really
- Tony Soprano: [after Carmella suggested to Tony, he not visit Meadow at college following the incident he had with Noah Tannenbaum, an African American friend of Meadow's] this is about sambo right? I'm paying for that God damn college
- Carmela Soprano: I don't know what's going on over there but if you want to make a big scene at your daughter's new college, then comb your hair, and come right along: embarrass her, alienate her. Or better yet, cut her off, let her drop out of there and go to a state school, or maybe move back in here
- Tony Soprano: I was just trying to protect her from "herself" and I'll do that until the day I fuckin die
- Carmela Soprano: I'm not gonna tell you not to come: she's your daughter
- Tony Soprano: I'll probably watch the game
- Christopher Moltisanti: [handing him an envelope with money, referring to a game they lost in their sportsbook racket] That's almost all of it: Warren probably told you about Oregon and USC
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [after looking through the amount of money inside] this is unacceptable
- Christopher Moltisanti: There's four thousand dollars in there, I'll have the other two in a couple of days
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: I thought I made myself clear?
- Christopher Moltisanti: Fuckin college ball, but I learned a "valuable lesson"
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: I'm not running a school here kid
- Christopher Moltisanti: This is "me", you know I'm good for it
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Don't fuckin drag in our friendship this isn't about that: you work for me
- Christopher Moltisanti: Yeah, and I want to it's just...
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [interrupts him] Just shut your mouth and listen. I'm gonna give you a couple extra days but it's gonna cost you another two G's as a reminder not to fuck it up, I make myself clear?
- Christopher Moltisanti: [referring to the raven he saw during his initiation ceremony] it was that bird: it was that fuckin bird in the window
- Adriana La Cerva: it was a "coincidence"
- Christopher Moltisanti: [yelling] I was making good "jack" at that betting parlor, I was in a fuckin "zone", now everything turns to shit?
- Adriana La Cerva: the bird "thing" is if it's in the house, flapping around and that's death: not bad luck
- Christopher Moltisanti: will your mother loan me the money?
- Adriana La Cerva: she's still paying for her Hysterectomy
- Christopher Moltisanti: [before walking over to her jewelry box and opening it, implying he wants to sell the jewels to pay Paulie] where's that fuckin tennis bracelet I got you?
- Adriana La Cerva: [attempting to stop him] why don't you get rid of that stupid fuckin Range Rover? Which you shouldn't have even bought if you couldn't afford it
- Christopher Moltisanti: [after he pushes her onto the bed] I'm sorry
- Christopher Moltisanti: [when his pager beeps again, frustrated] Jesus fuckin Christ
- Christopher Moltisanti: [while in Paulie's car, hands him an envelope] There's your money
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [after seeing him pale and tired] you ought to hit a tanning salon
- Christopher Moltisanti: I had a late night
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [pointing to his nose, referring to the narcotics Christopher's been using to stay awake and the average amount of sleep an adult needs each night] you gotta give that shit a rest: man needs his seven hours, keeps your mind sharp
- Christopher Moltisanti: this was work, Little Jackie "hyped" us to a "score" on the Rutgers campus, not bad
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [after seeing him stressed] what's the matter? Tell Uncle Paulie
- Christopher Moltisanti: [referring to becoming an official member of the mafia] this being "made" ain't working out the way I thought it would: a lot of responsibilities
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: fuckin A, what'd you think?
- Christopher Moltisanti: your only as fuckin smart as this week's lines. One false move and you spend time chasing it, instead of making money
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: welcome to the NFL rookie go home, get some sleep, tomorrow's a new day
- Tony Soprano: [during his therapy session, referring to Hesh] Alright, this has gotta start showing results or end. I talked to a business associate of mine, a man I respect about these panic attacks. Enough fuckin around, enough money in your pocket, what's the story here?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: The latest thought on treatment on panic attack syndrome is a three pronged approach
- Tony Soprano: [confused] So, it's a "syndrome?"
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Medication to treat the depression, psychotherapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. We've got you on medication, if you feel you're ready, you could see a behaviorist
- Tony Soprano: Wait a minute, talk to somebody else?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: You seem unhappy with my approach. If you're really ready to commit to mental health, I say "Great, let's get going." I'm ready to help but we'll have to "delve deeper" and focus. This latest "incident" for starters
- Tony Soprano: [referring to Noah Tannenbaum] Alright, fine, my daughter brought home a black: They were on the couch watching TV, snuggling
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: And?
- Tony Soprano: [referring to the Saturday Night Live comedy sketch performed by Eddie Murphy] And she went upstairs and I had a frank conversation with "buckwheat" and you know, I told him to stay the fuck away from my daughter and she came downstairs and they left
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: And then you had the panic attack?
- Tony Soprano: No, not right then, I ran to the kitchen to fix a sandwich, opened the cabinet, I saw a box of Uncle Ben's rice, then boom!
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: I see, the rice logo, the first onset of hyperventilation that occurred upon seeing the rice?
- Tony Soprano: [after thinking it over] No, I was taking the gabagool out of the fridge
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: I'm thinking when you first came here: the panic attack with the ducks, as I remember it, you were grilling meat, weren't you?
- Tony Soprano: [amused, impressed, chuckles] The memory on you
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: [smiles] Sausages, wasn't it?
- Tony Soprano: Sausages, steaks, yup
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Well, let's get back to that gabagool
- Tony Soprano: [after he finishes a phone conversation on his cell phone] Sorry, where were we?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: The connection between your anxiety attacks and meat
- Tony Soprano: Right, what was it again?
- Christopher Moltisanti: [Talking to each at other in the restaurant] my heart's still pounding
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: You're doing real good year with the sports book
- Christopher Moltisanti: Yeah it's been good
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: I'm going to give it to you, it's yours
- Christopher Moltisanti: I was wondering when it was going to be
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: The only thing is: there's a 6 grand minimum every week. I've got to get something out of this, but 6 grand, that can be a lot or a little, it all depends on you and how much business you bring in
- Christopher Moltisanti: I love you Paulie, we're in it together now
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: I love you too kid
- Bill Owens: [after seeing Janice come through the door] Svetlana, get out here
- Janice Soprano: [while noticing the boxes his carrying, cheerfully] Oh, hi, you must be the famous Bill, moving day huh?
- Svetlana Kirilenko: Oh, I didn't think you had the nerve to show your face to me
- Janice Soprano: Why? What happened? What's wrong?
- Svetlana Kirilenko: [disgusted] Oh, don't give me bullshit. Where is my leg?
- Janice Soprano: Your leg? Oh, yeah. Where's your...
- Svetlana Kirilenko: [interrupts her] I know you took it
- Janice Soprano: That's preposterous. I mean what possible use could I have for your leg?
- Svetlana Kirilenko: Because you think that will make me give the records back but you are wrong
- Janice Soprano: [sarcastically] If you see some karmic connection between your taking my mother's records and the disappearance of your leg, the records returned to the rightful owner and so will your leg, I can see how you got there
- Bill Owens: I don't know how you can live with yourself
- Svetlana Kirilenko: Bill, don't waste your breath, this cunt is gonna be sorry she ever fuck with me
- Tony Soprano: I got a phone call from some young kid Drew, he wanted to know when you were coming home?
- Janice Soprano: How'd he sound?
- Tony Soprano: He sounded like he was about fifteen years old... wait, is that your so called fiancée?
- Janice Soprano: His nineteen actually and he can go all night
- Tony Soprano: [not wanting to talk about her sex life] So, when you are you going back to Seattle?
- Janice Soprano: It depends how long it takes to settle ma's estate
- Tony Soprano: you know how much we love you and you know how much we love having you around, but there's a whole big house over there and I know you want maximum value. So maybe for security reasons so it don't fall into disrepair, you could stay there?
- Janice Soprano: I've been thinking the same thing, I just don't want to push Svetlana out
- Tony Soprano: Yeah, well, I talked to her, she's gonna be moving out tomorrow maybe the next day
- Janice Soprano: Really?
- Tony Soprano: Yeah
- Janice Soprano: Great, I better go pack
- Coach Goodwin: [to his football team, referring to AJ] guys, I want you to take a good look at Soprano here and remember his performance on the field last week: Soprano's on the sidelines for three whole quarters waiting. Does his mind go soft? No, does his "fire" go out? Heck no. When the call came, he brought his A-game. This young man may have a big future ahead of him: he may be a leader, and that's what it takes and that's why I'm naming him Defensive Captain
