  Christopher Moltisanti : I told you, I had the flu.

  Silvio Dante : I said my peace, Chrissy...

• Albert Barese : [on his disappearance]  What's with Ralph? Fuckin Bermuda Triangle?

  Silvio Dante : This thing with his kid, his probably down in the bunker

  Albert Barese : I'll tell ya, if I didn't know better...

  Silvio Dante : [interrupts him]  Are we off the record?

  Albert Barese : [nervously]  Off the record? It's Tony

  Albert Barese : [when Silvio and Patsy don't respond]  What? Am I wrong?

  Silvio Dante : [before leaving to use the bathroom]  Honestly, I don't know, take a leak

  Albert Barese : This is bad my friend, I mean don't get me wrong, I wouldn't piss on this Ralph if he was fire but to whack a guy over a horse? How fucked up is that?

  Patsy Parisi : If it happened to him, it could happen to any one of us

  Albert Barese : What's next? Get clipped for wearing the wrong shoes?

  Patsy Parisi : What can you do? Tony's the boss: centuries of tradition here

  Albert Barese : Exactly my point, if Tony did do this, whack Ralph over a horse, that guy would be the first fuckin guy in line to pull the plug

• Silvio Dante : What's goin on Tone?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I think I know what happened to Ralph and if I'm right, he ain't coming back: it was New York

  Vito Spatafore : Johnny Sack?

  Carlo Gervasi : What was it? The fat joke?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I'm sure that didn't help

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Carmine, this HUD thing we're into. they wanted a "piece" of it. I think they confronted Ralph, and things went sour

  Albert Barese : What'd he say John?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : It wasn't what he said so much it was what he "didn't" say

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : We're talking about New York here

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Before we do anything in terms of payback, you go to your people, and I want a full investigation. Nobody makes a move until we know what happened, understand?

• Dominic Palladino : [briefing them]  Are we all here? Good afternoon, for those of you that don't know me, my name's Dominic and I'm alcoholic and an addict

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : [irritated]  Don't forget scumbag

  Dominic Palladino : As some of you don't know, I've also been in recovery going on four years. I joined AA in prison and frankly, it saved my life. Now, we're all here today because we have something in common: not only we share a certain background in culture, we also care about Chris and want to help him with his heroin addiction. Has anyone of you guys been involved in an intervention before?

  Silvio Dante : We caught our daughter smoking pot once but...

  Gabriella Dante : [interrupts him]  Not really, no

  Dominic Palladino : No problem. An intervention is a non-judge mental confrontation: a care-front-tation, we call it. Now what I need from you guys is make a list of specific times where Christopher's drug use impacted on you directly. For example, Adriana, is it?

  Dominic Palladino : [after she nods]  You would say something like this, Christopher, last Monday, you came from work high, belligerent, and you were physically abusive to me

  Adriana La Cerva : What if his high when we try to talk to him?

  Dominic Palladino : Then we wait until his sober. During my first intervention, Steven Patrono waited ten hours for me to sober up

  Silvio Dante : Your first intervention?

  Dominic Palladino : In 1997, I suffered a relapse, as heroin addicts, alcoholics suffer a fairly high recidivism rate

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : [sarcastically]  Great, so his taking advice from a two-time loser?

  Dominic Palladino : There are no losers in recovery
