Quotes 

• Artie Bucco : Any word from your Ivy Leaguer? And how's Carmella with the "empty nest"?

  Tony Soprano : What "empty"? every five minutes Meadow's home with a laundry bag but she's hauling food out, why'd she talk about Berkeley when she could barely make it over the George Washington Bridge?

  Artie Bucco : We created too nice of a home life for them, they don't want to go out to the world. But hey, they're closer to us than we were with our parents, that's not such a bad thing

  Tony Soprano : [to Jackie Jr. implying that his late]  what time is it?

  Jackie Aprile Jr. : I'm here aren't I? Out of respect to my father

  Furio Giunta : [Sensing Tony wants to talk to Jackie Jr. in private and leaves the table]  I have to make a phone call

  Tony Soprano : [Gestures to an empty seat]  sit down

  Tony Soprano : You want something to eat?

  Jackie Aprile Jr. : Not hungry

  Tony Soprano : [Jokingly]  that's too bad. I said "lunch meat"

  Tony Soprano : Want a drink?

  Jackie Aprile Jr. : [Shakes his head] 

  Tony Soprano : Lose the glasses

  Jackie Aprile Jr. : [Moves the sunglasses to the top of his head] 

  Tony Soprano : Now I'm going to say a few things: I'm going to say some bad words, and your just going to have to deal with it. Now I know what your thinking. Your thinking I clipped your uncle. On the one hand you'd be a shit head to believe me if I told you I didn't do it. But I didn't. I got some news for you. Your uncle was a rat

  Jackie Aprile Jr. : [Suddenly stands up in anger]  no fuckin way

  Tony Soprano : Sit down, sit the fuck down

  Tony Soprano : Your uncle was a rat and now his in the witness protection program

  Jackie Aprile Jr. : That's my father's brother your talking about

  Tony Soprano : Jackie, I'm a member of your family almost, you think I'm the only one that knows this about Richie? You ask anybody. This hurt all of us

  Jackie Aprile Jr. : [Beginning to be convinced by Tony]  Jesus Christ

  Tony Soprano : Your dad and me, you know how close we were? He never wanted this for you. He wanted you to be a doctor

  Jackie Aprile Jr. : Give me a fuckin break

  Tony Soprano : Let me tell you something: besides the money which is a shit load of, a doctor is a very powerful position

  Jackie Aprile Jr. : I'm no doctor. Do you know how hard you have to work to get your MD? How many years it takes? I was even thinking maybe Osteopathy, but I don't think I have the grades for that even

  Tony Soprano : But your not going to drop out of Rutgers are you?

  Jackie Aprile Jr. : No, but those fuckin Pre-med courses almost killed me. I only did it because my dad was sick

  Tony Soprano : But you should know he never wanted this life for you. And I'll tell you something: I don't want it for my son either
