• Christopher Moltisanti : J.T., I want to introduce you to Carmine Lupertazzi: my co-executive producer on the project.

  Carmine Lupertazzi Jr. : [To J.T]  I heard the tidbits of what Chrissy's got in mind, the genre, and so forth. I've got to warn you, I'm very hands on and I learned that the hard way.

  Carmine Lupertazzi Jr. : [to everyone in the room]  I want to welcome all of you to the first meeting of possible investors on this project. Some of you know I've had nine pictures under my sub species: four in The South Beach Strumpet series alone, each with thirty thousand plus DVDs in print. That being said I usually find it helpful at this stage to include to my prospective partners and get your inputs, or "notes" as we call them.

  Christopher Moltisanti : J.T., you're on.

  J.T. Dolan : Well, we've been working on a new kind of slasher film, it takes in the world of... you know...

  Christopher Moltisanti : [Interrupts him]  It"s about a wise guy with a big mouth, and bigger dreams.

  J.T. Dolan : Anyway, they call him "The Butcher".

  Silvio Dante : No, they don't.

  Christopher Moltisanti : Why the fuck not?

  Silvio Dante : Need I remind you of a certain "Butcher" out of AC?

  Christopher Moltisanti : Right, not "butcher", go on J.T.

  J.T. Dolan : Right, so his kind of outshining his boss so the guy has him clipped, but he's still alive when they cut him up.

  Vito Spatafore : [Jokingly before everyone laughs]  Oh, he's going to feel that the next day.

  J.T. Dolan : Right, so at the dump his body reassembles itself all except for a hand that got crushed. So he ties a cleaver onto the stump and he goes out to get revenge on everyone especially the boss which is a pretty solid role. Right now its call "Pork Store Killer", but I'm thinking just "Cleaver".

  Larry Boy Barese : I'm confused, you said he's dead.

  Vito Spatafore : How is he "evening" up on everybody? He's a ghost?

  Carmine Lupertazzi Jr. : [Clarifying the main character in the movie to everyone]  as I understood it: a zombie of sorts. Great title by the way.

  Patsy Parisi : But if they jointed him, he's not going to end up all in the same dump.

  Silvio Dante : And how is that a slasher film?

  Christopher Moltisanti : What're you talking about?

  Silvio Dante : A slasher: Couple kids naked in the lake, a certified manic on the loose, not a ghost.

  J.T. Dolan : Actually the manic is almost always a supernatural force: Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers from Halloween...

  Silvio Dante : Get the fuck out...

  Carmine Lupertazzi Jr. : Easy Sil, he's making a point.

  Silvio Dante : Michael Myers is an escape mental patient. Jason and Freddy, different kind of movie.

  Christopher Moltisanti : That's the kind we're doing here. Saw, The Ring, they made millions, and that's not even including The Godfather angle which we got here.

  Benny Fazio : What if they disposed him at stops that happened to be along the same route? Then he would all end up all in the same dump.

  Vito Spatafore : But he's a ghost? I don't know.

  Christopher Moltisanti : Ghostbusters, another fuckin' money machine!

• Bobby 'Bacala' Baccalieri : [talking privately with Sil and Vito to settle a dispute]  That was Junior's neighborhood, now's its mine

  Silvio Dante : Whoa, keep your voice down

  Vito Spatafore : It was Eugene's going on three years and Eugene was with me

  Bobby 'Bacala' Baccalieri : He should've never had it to begin with except with the beef with that guy: Junior ruled on it and it wasn't right then

  Vito Spatafore : [irritated by Bobby]  This fuckin guy!

  Silvio Dante : [to Vito]  How much we talking about?

  Vito Spatafore : 3g's a week

  Bobby 'Bacala' Baccalieri : Maybe that's what that guy admitted to you, I heard 5

  Vito Spatafore : [to Bobby]  You heard wrong

  Bobby 'Bacala' Baccalieri : What do we do here, Sil?

  Silvio Dante : [after thinking it over]  Here's the thing

  Vito Spatafore : What, skip?

  Silvio Dante : For the time being, it's Bobby's... but his still gonna kick up twenty percent to you

  Vito Spatafore : How long is for the time being?

  Bobby 'Bacala' Baccalieri : Yeah, Sil?

  Silvio Dante : [to both of them]  What, you speak Norwegian? For now

• Gabriella Dante : I am so proud of you

  Silvio Dante : Acting boss, I thought the day would never come

  Gabriella Dante : you always sold yourself short

  Silvio Dante : You know that's not what I mean. You know me, all I ever wanted was to carve" out" a little piece: enjoy some grandkids

  Gabriella Dante : How many guys can step into Tony's shoes and do the job you're doing?

  Silvio Dante : You think?

  Gabriella Dante : You have such strength in crisis, Benny told me he feels his honored to drive you. Your firm about what you want without being obnoxious about it. Have you ever asked yourself if God forbid, Tony Soprano doesn't recover?

  Silvio Dante : listen, I never talk to you about my work

  Gabriella Dante : and?

  Silvio Dante : I'll tell you something I never told anybody. Back when Jackie was at the end, he "floated" the idea of me stepping up to the "big seat" not Tony: me

  Gabriella Dante : Really?

  Silvio Dante : Yeah, but I thought it's not for me

  Gabriella Dante : still, you wouldn't "sneeze" at it?

  Silvio Dante : I never saw myself as that kind of guy, I'm more behind the scenes, give advice, strategy

  Gabriella Dante : And here you are, the "Times make the man", honey: not the other way around
