Quotes 

• Tony Soprano : Maybe this was his chance to get out. I know Dad was no choir boy, but maybe with a little bit of support...

  Livia Soprano : Oh, Mr. Sensitive now. Well, if it bothers you, maybe you better talk to a psychiatrist.

  [walks away] 

  Tony Soprano : Whoa, what are you talkin' about, a psychiatrist?

  Livia Soprano : Well, that's what people do when they're lookin' for somebody to blame for their life, isn't it?

  Tony Soprano : You're a real stone player, aren't you, Ma? You threatened to smother his children.

  Livia Soprano : What does that mean?

  Tony Soprano : You know, everyone thought Dad was the ruthless one. But I gotta hand it to you. If you'd been born after those feminists, you woulda been the real gangster.

  Livia Soprano : I don't know what you're talking about!

  [walks away] 

• Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : She was very high strung, my mother. Very dramatic. Every night to her was a night at the opera.

  [cut to a scene of Tony's youth] 

  Livia Soprano : [to Tony]  I could stick this fork in your eye!
