Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Excuse me, let me tell you something... When America opened up the floodgates and let all us Italians in, what do you think they were doing it for? 'Cause they were trying to save us from poverty? No, they did it because they needed us. They needed us to build their cities and dig their subways, and to make them richer. The Carnegies and The Rockerfellers: they needed worker bees and there we were. But some of us didn't want to swarm around their hive and lose who we were. We wanted to stay Italian and preserve the things that meant something to us: honor and family and loyalty... and some of us wanted a piece of the action. Now we weren't educated like the Americans, but we had the BALLS to take what we wanted! And those other folks, those other... the, the JP Morgans, they were crooks and killers too, but that was the business right? The American Way.
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : That might all be true, but what do poor Itailian immigrants have to do with you and what happens every morning you step out of bed?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : What the fuck is this all of a sudden?
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I'm just asking a question.
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Oh, so YOU'RE taking a stand now, huh? You pick HERE to make a stand? After all this time telling me that nothing's my fault, because of poor parenting. You pick now to act like Betsy "Fuckin'" Ross! When my nephew is in the fuckin' hospital! He might not get out!

[Matt is tied down and has just finished being interrogated by Tony]
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : See if we got something to drink. So what can I get you? You want a Fanta, something like that?
[Matt takes a sip]
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : How is that? I mean, you sure you want a diet drink? You don't want something with some sugar in it?
Salvatore "Big Pussy" Bonpensiro : There's only diet.
Matthew Bevilaqua : It's good.
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You finished?
Matthew Bevilaqua : Thank you, T.
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : 'Cause that sugarless motherfucker, it's the last fucking drink you're ever gonna have!
[shoots him]

Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Alright so I used to cheat. I'm not getting "spayed", end of subject
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You brought up the vasectomy and now you don't want to talk about it
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You asked me what was going on
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I saw on the news about a gangland shooting
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Yeah
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Is that your nephew Christopher? That you've spoken of before? In the papers said his going to be critical condition
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : His going to be fine
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Have they found the person that shot him yet?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : No, have you?
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I'm not trying to pry into that part of your life, I know our "deal" but I've heard you say before you love this young man
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Christopher was clinically dead for about a minute. He thinks he had one of those near death "experiences." He says he visited hell and "they" told him he'd be back permanent
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Who's "they"?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Its bullshit, it was a dream combined with the morphine and now he thinks his going to hell when he dies and his all fucked up over it
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Do you think he'll go to hell?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : No, his not the type that deserves hell
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Who do you think does?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : The worst people: the twisted and demented psychos who kill people for pleasure, the cannibals, the degenerate bastards that molest and torture little kids, kill babies, the Hitler's, the Pol Pots. Those are the fucks that deserve to die: not my nephew
Dr. Jennifer Melfi : What about you?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : What? Hell? You've been listening to me? No, for the same reasons. We're soldiers; soldiers don't go to hell. Its war, soldiers kill other soldiers. We're in a "situation" where everybody involved knows the "stakes" and if you're going to accept those "stakes", you've got to do certain "things." It's business, we're soldiers. We follow codes: orders

A.J. Soprano : [after his father walks into his room with a large pizza and a six pack of soda] I'm not hungry
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You mind if I sit here while I eat?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Realizes his father wants to have a talk with him, takes off his head set and puts away his comic book] I'm sorry for talking to you the way I did
A.J. Soprano : It's ok
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : No, it's not. I was wrong and I hope you know I didn't mean it. I said it because all the anger and frustration over the last few days built up inside of me and exploded. There's no excuse for that. I've got to learn to control my emotions around the people I love. I think your the same way you know? I think if you keep your feelings keep inside, you react without thinking. That's why I get mad at you. I see myself in you. I couldn't ask for a better son AJ and I mean that.

Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [telling a joke, while eating in an Irish pub] A rich man and a poor man got the same wedding anniversary. Every year, they'd meet on Madison Avenue shopping for their wives, so the poor man says to the rich man What'd you buy your wife this year? He says, I got her a huge diamond ring and a brand-new Mercedes, poor man says, What'd you get her both for? Rich man says, If she doesn't like the diamond ring, she can bring back the Mercedes and still be happy. Rich man says to the poor man What'd you get your wife this year? He says, I got her a pair of slippers and a dildo, rich man says, What'd you get her a pair of slippers and a dildo for? Poor man says If she doesn't like the slippers, she can go fuck herself

Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [referring to his affair with his mistress, annoyed] Oh, it's over, months ago
Carmela Soprano : [not believing him] Yeah, right
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : "Yeah, right what?" I told you I cut it off
Carmela Soprano : [sternly] Listen, if you keep "doing" what you "do", then I want you to at the very least get a Vasectomy
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [surprised] You want me to get what?
Carmela Soprano : Let's get "real", do you have any idea what a bastard child would do to this family? You ever think of the shame your children would feel? You're putting all of us at "risk"
