Quotes 

• Carmela Soprano : [Participating in Tony's therapy session for the first time]  how are you feeling, from your accident?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Fine, thank you

  Carmela Soprano : Honestly, if you told me five years ago I'd be sitting here today

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Anthony's attacks, how do they make you feel?

  Carmela Soprano : Concerned of course, helpless, a little frustrated

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Maybe with your inability to help him?

  Carmela Soprano : To tell you the truth I was referring to your inability to help him

  Tony Soprano : She has helped me, what're you talking about?

  Carmela Soprano : You've been coming here for three years Tony and you still pass out on a regular basis

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [to Carmela]  I understand your frustration. Did Anthony share with you any insights about his last panic attack?

  Tony Soprano : I told you remember? The gabagool and my mother when I was a little kid

  Carmela Soprano : Right, yes

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Do you think that there's anything in the present family "dynamic" that could serve as a trigger? Something in your dialog perhaps?

  Carmela Soprano : Excuse me?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I don't really know you that well, we're trying to get to root causes

  Tony Soprano : Like maybe you do things that may have some affect on me?

  Carmela Soprano : Oh, really?

  Tony Soprano : What? People affect each other in life

  Carmela Soprano : [to Dr. Melfi]  oh I get it, is this how it works? You can't get any answers so you start looking for someone else to point the finger at?

  Tony Soprano : She's not saying anything, why are you getting so defensive?

  Carmela Soprano : You know what Tony? Maybe you should "explore" your own behavior, maybe you pass out because you're guilty over something. Maybe because of the fact that you stick your dick into anything with a pulse, you ever "explore" that as a root cause?

  Tony Soprano : [Sarcastically]  very nice, that's very nice

  Carmela Soprano : Uh-huh

  Tony Soprano : [to Carmela]  I told you months ago I broke it off with that Russian person

  Tony Soprano : [to Dr. Melfi]  right?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [Remains silent] 

  Carmela Soprano : It's incredible, it's like people who smoke their entire lives then they sue the cigarette companies when they get cancer

  Tony Soprano : [Faces away from her]  you know, you agreed to come here, oh forget it, this is fuckin ridiculous

  Carmela Soprano : Right, just sit there, silence, anger, then you pass out and then you blame the rest of the world

  Tony Soprano : [Sarcastically]  yeah I love you too

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You're both very angry.

• Tony Soprano : [while visiting Bryan Spatafore in the hospital, after greeting everybody]  how's he doing?

  Gigi Cestone : I talked to him before. I think he squeezed my hand

  Vito Spatafore : His going to be a vegetable Tony, a fuckin retard

  Tony Soprano : No, his going to be fine

  Ralph Cifaretto : [after no one found his joke amusing]  well look at the bright side, he wasn't that smart to begin with. Come on it's a tense situation a little levity huh?

  Tony Soprano : [to Jackie Jr]  What're you doing here?

  Jackie Aprile Jr. : I can't visit my cousin?

  Vito Spatafore : [Referring to Mustang Sally]  I want this cocksucker to bleed from his ass skipper

  Gigi Cestone : You got it

  Jackie Aprile Jr. : Just say the word: my fuckin pleasure

  Tony Soprano : [to Jackie Jr]  Why don't you grab us some coffee?

  Jackie Aprile Jr. : Come on, are you kidding?

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : [after pulling his chair away from the hospital bed]  better yet: Go to the ears, nose, and throat department: get your hearing checked

  Tony Soprano : All right, obviously you told the cops you don't know who did this?

  Vito Spatafore : I'm upset, but please... I know how to keep my mouth shut.

  Ralph Cifaretto : Unless of course there's a salami sandwich around.

  Gigi Cestone : [Turns round to confront Ralphie]  what the fuck is wrong with you? We're trying to have a meeting here

  Ralph Cifaretto : Oh, two minutes in charge, he thinks his Lee Iacocca

  Tony Soprano : [while tapping his right shoulder, implying they shouldn't start a confrontation inside the hospital]  come on, not here

  Tony Soprano : [to Vito]  there's no beef between your brother and Mustang Sally?

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : Didn't owe him any money? Nothing like that?

  Vito Spatafore : No, nothing

  Ralph Cifaretto : [Referring to Mustang Sally]  this kid's a whack job: Meadowlands last year remember? Threw a hot dog vendor off the second mezzanine, too many fuckin onions or some shit

  Tony Soprano : [to Gigi]  you get him under control?

  Gigi Cestone : With extreme fuckin prejudice

  Tony Soprano : [to Paulie, after nodding to Gigi meaning his giving his approval to have Mustang Sally killed]  we gotta to go

• Tony Soprano : Old man Bacala is ok with this, what'd you give a shit anyway?

  Junior Soprano : What is it with you? These power trips

  Tony Soprano : The fuck are you talking about?

  Junior Soprano : It has to be the old man? There's no other way?

  Tony Soprano : There's a million other ways but this one will work. It was Gigi's idea. I'm not cutting his balls off. Mustang Sally's MIA. Two days ago he reaches out to old man Bacala for help. Old man Bacala is his godfather, he can get close without arousing suspicion

  Junior Soprano : It still doesn't sit right

  Tony Soprano : His done it a thousand times

  Junior Soprano : His a sick old man

  Tony Soprano : Good, it'll give him something to live for

• Carmela Soprano : Two weeks ago? Why didn't you say anything? Did you report it at least?

  Meadow Soprano : Who? The rent-a-cops? Campus security is a joke

  Carmela Soprano : Don't you think they should know they have a thief "preying" on the school?

  Tony Soprano : [after entering the kitchen]  Who? What're you talking about?

  Meadow Soprano : [avoiding to involve him in their conversation]  Nothing

  Carmela Soprano : Her bike was stolen outside the library two weeks ago

  Tony Soprano : The ten-speed? Did you lock it up?

  Meadow Soprano : They used bolt cutters

  Carmela Soprano : Some black guy from the neighborhood: one of the other kids saw him

  Meadow Soprano : [irritated, noticing Tony smiling]  What?

  Tony Soprano : Did I say anything?

  Tony Soprano : [while pouring himself a cup of orange juice, sarcastically]  A black guy, imagine that

  Carmela Soprano : [implying to him not to start an argument with Meadow after the incident between Tony and Meadow's African American boyfriend]  Tony...

  Tony Soprano : [sarcastically]  You know, I can't believe it

  Meadow Soprano : I'm not listening to this shit

  Tony Soprano : Why don't you just admit it? You're thinking exactly what I'm thinking

  Carmela Soprano : Tony, what did I say?

  Tony Soprano : What is it my fault, you're twice as likely to get robbed by a black?

  Meadow Soprano : [angrily]  That is so fucking racist

  Tony Soprano : It happens to be a fact

  Meadow Soprano : [referring to the former Grand Wizard of the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan]  Or who? David Duke?

  Tony Soprano : No, try the FBI, I saw it on TV

  Meadow Soprano : Oh, so now you're quoting the FBI?

  Tony Soprano : I'm just telling you what I heard

  Carmela Soprano : Tony, stop, now

  Tony Soprano : Why?

  Meadow Soprano : For your information, crime is an economic issue: not a racial one. White or African American, you're more likely to steal if you're in a lower income bracket which most African Americans are

  Tony Soprano : Good, then next time, you'll feel better when the next one takes your car stereo

  Meadow Soprano : [raises her voice]  You are such a hypocrite

  Tony Soprano : [raises his voice]  This is what I've been trying to tell you all along: stay with your own people

• Assemblyman Zellman : Restaurants, stores, slips for luxury yachts

  Tony Soprano : [to Johnny]  We'll call my plumber at the electrical unions: the steel, the brickwork, it's all yours

  Johnny Sack : We need to have a conversation about Local 187

  Assemblyman Zellman : [to Johnny]  You gotta come by the office, see the scale model, the guy even makes little people walking on the street

  Johnny Sack : [jokingly]  Fuckin Newark, they got little hookers giving little blowjobs?

  Johnny Sack : [stands up]  I gotta go take a leak

  Assemblyman Zellman : So, I got a call from Eddie Volar at the PBA: your "friend", the cop? His bitching about losing his overtime. His got some black officer squad looking into his case

  Tony Soprano : oh, yeah?

  Assemblyman Zellman : If you want, I can get it "squashed", get him reassigned

  Tony Soprano : [after thinking it over]  You know what? Fuck him, cocksucker got what he deserved

• Artie Bucco : [after exiting the kitchen of his restaurant, jokingly referring to Christopher sitting next to Tony]  Wait a minute, who let this one in here?

  Tony Soprano : [jokingly, as Artie walks to their table]  Oh, Wolfgang fuckface

  Christopher Moltisanti : [as Artie pats on his shoulders]  Hey, Artie

  Artie Bucco : [to Christopher]  The man who stole her away

  Christopher Moltisanti : [to Tony who looks confused, referring to her quitting her job]  Adriana, she gave her notice

  Tony Soprano : [sarcastically to Artie when he sits down at their table and pours himself a glass of wine]  help yourself

  Artie Bucco : [points to Christopher before he nods]  You better be good to that girl... cocksucker

  Tony Soprano : no wonder the food sucks: Your supposed to cook with the wine Artie

  Artie Bucco : [referring to Adriana]  Three years, best hostess I ever had

  Artie Bucco : [points to Christopher]  This... piece of shit steals her away

  Tony Soprano : [noticing Christopher is becoming agitated]  Artie, come on

  Artie Bucco : [before playfully rubbing Christopher hair]  Oh come on, he knows I'm breakin his balls

  Artie Bucco : [to Christopher]  Seriously though, if I'm you, I'd hire a food taster. You don't want to fuck with a chef, my friend

  Christopher Moltisanti : [irritated]  Why? You think you're the only one who knows how to swing a meat cleaver?

  Artie Bucco : [does the Bras d'honneur gesture to Christopher]  Fuck you

  Tony Soprano : [implying to him he should stop insulting Christopher]  Artie...

• Tony Soprano : [after breaking up a fight between Artie and Christopher, referring to Adriana]  What the fuck is wrong with you? She's his fuckin fiancée

  Artie Bucco : I loved her, I fuckin love her now

  Tony Soprano : [surprised, laughs and pats Artie on his cheeks]  Do me a favor: don't ever fuckin say that again to anybody... ever

  Artie Bucco : oh, what am I? A joke?

  Tony Soprano : [pats him on his head]  Yeah, a stupid fuckin bald one, not to mention married?

  Artie Bucco : Can I tell you something? She's a cunt... my fuckin wife. A girl like Ade, that's a woman. I still have my hair

  Tony Soprano : She's a young girl, you're gonna be like Casey Kasem to her: it won't make a difference

  Tony Soprano : [after kissing his head]  Alright look, go in the back, get some coffee, go home and go the fuck to sleep

  Artie Bucco : [while trying to walk away]  I should go and apologize to Christopher

  Tony Soprano : [holds him back]  not right now: Let me talk to Chris... you go home

• Assemblyman Zellman : [over the phone]  You paged me?

  Tony Soprano : Yeah, listen, I ran into that guy, the traffic cop

  Assemblyman Zellman : It's done: it's already taken care of

  Tony Soprano : I know, I know. It's just... I don't know, you got him busted off the street?

  Assemblyman Zellman : Fuck him, isn't that what you wanted?

  Tony Soprano : Yeah... but it's kind of harsh no?

  Assemblyman Zellman : I spoke to his unit commander: nobody likes the guy, he's a God damn rabble rouser

  Tony Soprano : Maybe but... I don't know

  Assemblyman Zellman : Believe me, it goes beyond you. The guy's depressed or something: his all wound up. They think he might have some serious mental problems
