Quotes 

• 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?

• Ralph Cifaretto : [referring to dismissive response]  nothing: he gave me nothing, not a "thank you", not an apology

  Johnny Sack : calm down, take it easy

  Ralph Cifaretto : he let stand there like a... servant, scrapping, bowing, cocksucker didn't even invite me to sit down

  Johnny Sack : posturing: it's part of the "game"

  Ralph Cifaretto : fuck the "game", his going down

  Johnny Sack : [surprised]  oh, what're you fuckin stupid coming in here and talking to me like that?

  Ralph Cifaretto : I don't give a fuck anymore. I've given my life to this "thing" and this is the thanks I get?

• 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?

• Ralph Cifaretto : [Referring to Tony canceling the holiday dinner]  you hear what he did with Thanksgiving?

  Johnny Sack : It's not good Ralph

  Ralph Cifaretto : Will you please tell me what I did to this guy? Turn down a drink? I wasn't thirsty

  Johnny Sack : Ralph

  Ralph Cifaretto : Ever since I'm back from Miami, his up my ass. I'm running with three hands here and it's still not good enough to satisfy this cocksucker and then he fuckin hits me? I'm telling you his not leaving me a lot of options here

  Johnny Sack : Don't talk crazy, you want to commit suicide? Pills are a lot easier

  Ralph Cifaretto : What'd you think Carmine would say if I want to switch families? Come with you guys

  Johnny Sack : Carmine doesn't know who you are

  Ralph Cifaretto : You could tell him

  Johnny Sack : Ralph. Listen to me, as a friend I know Tony can be difficult, his father was the same, and his uncle. They always need someone to demonize but New York and Sopranos have long standing ties and that's not going to change, not for you or anybody else. You want me to be frank? You brought this on yourself with that girl

  Ralph Cifaretto : A. she was a whore, B she hit me, and C that wasn't my kid she was carrying. It was the fuckin coke I should've never started with that shit. Fuckin Miami: it's all over the place

  Johnny Sack : Just tell Anthony you're sorry

  Ralph Cifaretto : I was high, I admit it and I swear to Christ I'm not doing it anymore

  Johnny Sack : [Reiterating to him that he should apologize]  "Tony, I'm sorry"

  Ralph Cifaretto : Fuck that, what good would that do?

  Johnny Sack : It might save your life

  Ralph Cifaretto : [Speaking each word slowly to emphasize his point]  "he hit me"

  Johnny Sack : He was wrong believe me he knows

  Ralph Cifaretto : You don't think I know people are laughing behind my back?

  Johnny Sack : Talk to Tony. I'm sure he'll make it right

  Ralph Cifaretto : At this point? How?

  Johnny Sack : I don't know. Would you take capo over your crew?

  Ralph Cifaretto : No I wouldn't, no fuckin way

• Ralph Cifaretto : [while in a diner]  you see that shit before? The look on Tony's face when I turned down that drink? Buy me a drink? Fuck you, he knew it was wrong, what he did

  Vito Spatafore : he is the boss: he can do whatever he wants

  Eugene Pontecorvo : boss or no, you don't raise your hands to another "made" guy. Joe Vul from Mulberry Street, exact same situation, he smacked that guy around

  Ralph Cifaretto : rules are rules otherwise, what? Fuckin anarchy

  Eugene Pontecorvo : at the very least, Tony owes you an apology

  Ralph Cifaretto : the money I put in his pocket from construction alone, it should hit his knees, this prick

  Ralph Cifaretto : [to Eugene when he doesn't respond]  what? You think I'm afraid of that fat fuck?

  Ralph Cifaretto : [to Vito]  no offense

  Ralph Cifaretto : I could see if it was his daughter or a niece of his but all this over some dead whore, he had to been fuckin her

  Vito Spatafore : no, he knew you were fuckin her

  Ralph Cifaretto : that's why, that's how he is, like a dog with two bones. I'm supposed to go over there for Thanksgiving, me and Roe

  Eugene Pontecorvo : really?

  Ralph Cifaretto : fuck him and his turkey, I should shove a drumstick up his ass
