Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr. : [to Tony] Hey, Dad. I'm gonna get Uncle Junior for this. Don't worry.
[crying]
Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr. : I watched since I was little how nice you were to him. And he doesn't get to just do this to you. And put you in here and get away with it. You're my Dad. And I'm gonna put a bullet in his fuckin' mummy head! I promise. I can't believe we're not gonna, like, do stuff together again. 'Cause we will. I'm positive.

Rosalie Aprile : [while in the hospital cafeteria] I'll be glad to sit with Tony
Carmela Soprano : Hospital rules: it's only family for now but thank you. Angie phoned, I guess she's very busy over there with her body shop?
Rosalie Aprile : [after AJ walks up to their table, jokingly, implying AJ resembles the Italian-American fashion model] Oh, look who's here, Fabio, I'm available
Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr. : [to his mother] So, what, now there's actual roaster of who and when stays with dad and I'm not on it?
Carmela Soprano : Frankly, I don't think you'd be interested
Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr. : I was sick and I've been trying to study, which is what everyone is usually hassling me about twenty-four, seven. I guess there always has to be something right?
Carmela Soprano : Come here and sit down, ok?
Carmela Soprano : [when AJ ignores his mother and walks away] Studying? He goes clubbing in New York
Rosalie Aprile : You cut him too much slack: you still protect him
Carmela Soprano : I know he avoids Tony because he can't face seeing him like that, it frightens him
Rosalie Aprile : [adamantly] It frightens everybody, he should get a pass? Kids his age are getting blown up in Iraq
Carmela Soprano : you know what's interesting? Janice noticed when AJ talks about Tony possibly not coming out of this, he can't even use the word Dad, he says Anthony Soprano is not going to die.
Rosalie Aprile : [sarcastically] Well, that's a fascinating psychological nugget but it don't change the fact if that kid don't pull his end in this, his never gonna forgive himself and nobody else should either
Carmela Soprano : It's just that Tony has always loomed so large for AJ
Rosalie Aprile : Well, maybe AJ is just a selfish kid that don't give a shit?
Carmela Soprano : I'm sorry your son is no longer with us but don't use mine as a guinea pig for your ideas on parenting. I never saw you take a hard line
Rosalie Aprile : Why do you think I'm talking to you like this?
Carmela Soprano : The thing is Tony has an open incision. If you are there when they change the dressing, it's very hard to take, I don't know if AJ should see that?

Carmela Soprano : [sternly, after rushing him away from a reporter] what did I tell you?

Carmela Soprano : don't talk to them: say nothing. Where are your father's CDs?
Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr. : oh, I forgot
Carmela Soprano : [irritated] Jesus, everybody here is pitching in but you
Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr. : [sarcastically] thanks mom
Carmela Soprano : I wish you would go to class if this is all your gonna do
Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr. : with my father in the hospital?
Carmela Soprano : [giving him money] go to the deli on Broad St. get some baked goods, get enough for everybody upstairs, get an assortment
Carmela Soprano : [points to another exit to avoid being seen by the press] go this way

Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr. : [sarcastically] oh, you're tired? Poor you, you never give two fucks about the environment
Meadow Soprano : [raises her voice] is that what's crawling up your butt, that I was at the hospital last night when you told mom you'd come? I didn't say one word to you about it and neither did anyone else. We're all so glad you "kicked" your fucking stomach flu, ok?
Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr. : [also raises his voice] I saw how you looked at my plate of food, I can't eat in my own house?
Meadow Soprano : I wasn't looking at your plate: it's all in your mind
Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr. : [changes the subject] don't you find "this" completely embarrassing?
Meadow Soprano : what?
Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr. : "this." our family, our father gets shot by our goober fuckin uncle? What is that?
Meadow Soprano : yeah, it's embarrassing, I don't even want to think about what Finn's parents are thinking
Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr. : I mean I don't really give a shit about my friends: they know what dad does but some of them remember Uncle Junior, he was always a fuckin mummy. Why did dad hang out with him?
