Quotes 

• Silvio Dante : [Referring to killing protest leader, Professor Del Redclay]  Maybe we should just whack this prick

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Who the fuck are you kidding? All you thought about was Blackjack

  Silvio Dante : What?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You think this stay in the country was free don't you? Well, it wasn't. Fuckin Chief Smith wants Frankie Valli to come up there and play for a week, that's what this whole junket was about

  Silvio Dante : Frankie?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Yeah that's right. That's why he "butt holed" me God damn it. His bad over Frankie's manager so the chief wants me to call him directly as payback for him reaching out to Redclay, but you're making the call

  Silvio Dante : I haven't seen Frankie for years

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Angrily]  tough shit, you're making the fuckin call. You and this fuckin parade already

  Silvio Dante : I don't know what you're so hot about. They're discriminating all Italians as a group when they disallowed Columbus

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Oh, will you fuckin stop? "Group". What the fuck happened to Gary Cooper? That's what I'd like to know

  Silvio Dante : He died because he fought all those Sioux in all those westerns

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Oh fuck that. Gary Cooper: there was an American. The strong, silent type. He did what he had to do. He faced down the Miller gang when none of those other assholes in town would lift a finger to help him. Did he complain? Did he say "oh, I come from this poor Texas, Irish, illiterate background or whatever the fuck so leave me the fuck out of it because my people got fucked over."

  Silvio Dante : T, not for nothing, but you're getting confused here. The guy was in the movies

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : What the fuck difference does that make? Columbus was so long ago he might as well been in a fuckin movie. Images you set

  Silvio Dante : The point is: Gary Cooper, the real Gary Cooper or anybody named Cooper never suffered like the Italians. If they met a guy like him, they fucked everybody else. The Italians, the Polacks, and the blacks

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : If he was a Madigan around nowadays he'd be a member of some victim's group: the fundamentalist Christians, the abused cowboys, the gays, whatever the fuck

  Christopher Moltisanti : He was gay, Gary Cooper?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [shouts, irritated]  No! Are you listening to me?

  Silvio Dante : Hey, people are suffering

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Did you? Except maybe the Feds?

  Silvio Dante : My grandparents got spit on because they were from Calabria

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Referring to the surname of the Chicago mobster]  let me ask you a question? With all the good things you have in your life: did they come to you because you're Calabrese? I'll tell you the answer. The answer's no. you got a kid in Lackawanna College, you got a wife, who's a piece of ass, at least she was when you married her. You own one of the most profitable topless bars in all north Jersey, now did you get all that because your Italian? No you got it because your you, you're smart because you're whatever the fuck. Where the fuck is our self-esteem? That shit doesn't come from Columbus, The Godfather, or Chef fuckin Boyardee

  Silvio Dante : We've got to tiptoe around the Indians don't we? We can't call our teams the Braves, or the Tomahawks

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You take it up with Frankie Valli when talk to him
