Quotes 

• Meadow Soprano : Are you in the Mafia?

  Tony Soprano : Am I in the what?

  Meadow Soprano : Whatever you want to call it. Organized crime.

  Tony Soprano : That's total crap, who told you that?

  Meadow Soprano : Dad, I've lived in the house all my life. I've seen the police come with warrants. I've seen you going out at three in the morning.

  Tony Soprano : So you never seen Doc Cusamano going out at three in the morning on a call?

  Meadow Soprano : Did the Cusamano kids ever find $50,000 in krugerrandts and a .45 automatic while they were hunting for Easter eggs?

  Tony Soprano : I'm in the waste management business. Everybody immediately assumes you're mobbed up. It's a stereotype. And it's offensive. And you're the last person I would want to perpetuate it... There is no Mafia.

  Meadow Soprano : Fine.

  Tony Soprano : Alright look, Mead, you're a grown woman, almost. Some of my money comes from illegal gambling and whatnot. How does that make you feel?

  Meadow Soprano : At least you don't keep denying it, like Mom. Kids in school think it's actually kinda neat.

  Tony Soprano : They seen "The Godfather", right?

  Meadow Soprano : Not really. "Casino" we like, Sharon Stone, the 70's clothes, pills...

  Tony Soprano : I'm not asking about those bums. I'm asking about you.

  Meadow Soprano : Sometimes I wish you were like other dads. But then, like... Mr. Scangarelo for example? An advertising executive for big tobacco. Or lawyers? So many dads are full of shit.

  Tony Soprano : Oh, and I'm not.

  Meadow Soprano : You finally told the truth about this.

  Tony Soprano : Look, Mead, part of my income comes from legitimate businesses, stock market...

  Meadow Soprano : Look, Dad, please, okay? Don't start mealy-mouthing.

• Tony Soprano : There was a time, Mead, when the Italian people didn't have a lot of options.

  Meadow Soprano : You mean like Mario Cuomo?

  [Tony stares at her] 

  Meadow Soprano : Sorry.

  Tony Soprano : You know I put food on the table. My father was in it. My uncle was in it. Maybe I was too lazy to think for myself. To consider myself... A rebel. Maybe being a rebel in my family would have been selling patio furniture on route 22.
