  Tony Soprano : [jokingly]  Ah, the bird of prey

  Carmela Soprano : Are you sure his ready?

  Tony Soprano : What'd she give a shit? She's trying to save a buck

• Catherine Lipman : [after entering his hospital room]  Good afternoon, how are you doing?

  Tony Soprano : [when noticing she's attractive]  Better now

  Catherine Lipman : I'm glad to hear that

  Tony Soprano : [jokingly]  Where have they been keeping you? The other doctors around here it's like the United Colors of Benneton

  Catherine Lipman : [amused]  I'm not a doctor. I'm a Utilization Review Specialist, I represent your insurance carrier: It's my job together with your physicians to see how fast we can get you out of this place and back home

  Tony Soprano : You know, I don't believe this: with all the money I've been contributing over the years, you want to put me in the street

  Catherine Lipman : You think we're the enemy but if you hadn't had insurance, you would've ended up at the county hospital. It's a good thing you had your insurance card with you when they performed the "wallet biopsy"

  Tony Soprano : The what?

  Catherine Lipman : [referring to the paramedics]  In the ambulance, if you hadn't had your insurance card with you, they would've dropped your butt at Martin Luther King

  Tony Soprano : [disgusted]  The "wallet biopsy"? Get out of my room you sick cunt
