Quotes 

• Tony Soprano : What'd I mean? What'd you mean? All these innuendos. You referring to me that I didn't do everything I could to keep that kid from fuckin himself up? And yeah knowing him and his family that I didn't try to be a better dad than his own dad? God rest his soul. That I didn't try to protect Jackie Jr.? That I didn't smack him around because I was so frustrated? Is that what you're trying to tell me?

  Meadow Soprano : I'm through telling people you help with environmental clean up

  Tony Soprano : That's not what I asked you

  Meadow Soprano : Like you can talk honestly for three fucking seconds

  Tony Soprano : You try me!

  Meadow Soprano : I made my plans and I'm going to Europe and getting the fuck out of here

• Bobby 'Bacala' Baccalieri : I'll tell ya what a gold mine is - those Harry Potter books. That's cause it gives the other kids, the 98-pound weaklings, some hope.

  Ralph Cifaretto : Oh. Speaking of 98 pounds, I hear Ginny Sack's gettin' a 95-pound mole taken off her ass.

  [all laugh] 

  Tony Soprano : Hey! Some guy's wife! Come on!

• Carmela Soprano : If you stop now, it'll be that much harder to get back on track

  Tony Soprano : Your mother's right

  Carmela Soprano : just out of curiosity, what're you planning on using for money?

  Meadow Soprano : Cheap tickets' is running a sale, I can cash in the bonds nana gave me: most likely I'll be working

  Tony Soprano : [sarcastically]  Oh yeah, on some student film

  Meadow Soprano : It's not a student film, it's a feature on DV-CAM: he got honorable mention at the Winnipeg Film Festival last year for his short

  Tony Soprano : Forget money, what about security? You think traipsing around Europe is the smart move these days?

  Meadow Soprano : Like Europe is any less safe than here? Look, you don't seem to get it. I keep having images of Jackie April lying in a pool of his own blood in some street somewhere

  Carmela Soprano : So, French discos drive away sad thoughts?

  Meadow Soprano : You've never heard of the restorative nature of travel? Read Henry James. Why does every college have junior year abroad if there isn't a need for it?

  Carmela Soprano : Then why don't you wait for junior year? It's eight months

  Meadow Soprano : Because I need it now

  Tony Soprano : [irritated]  You want to go to Europe? Go! Clear your head, do whatever the hell they do over there

  Meadow Soprano : Thank you, I will

  Carmela Soprano : [to Tony]  Don't you think she should talk to someone first? A counselor maybe?

  Tony Soprano : Maybe the college of hard knocks is what she needs? Let's see how she likes it when some gypsy lifts her wallet, let her find out you can't work over there without a permit like the French hang onto like their balls

• Janice Soprano : Hey, what're you doing here?

  Tony Soprano : I was around the corner at 'Bacala's, I figured I'd come by here and say hello

  Janice Soprano : How's he doing?

  Tony Soprano : His fat

  Tony Soprano : [after picking up the video cassette case]  Faces of Death? What? Was The Sound of Music already rented?

  Janice Soprano : It's research for our Christian rock video I'm coordinating with the record release

  Tony Soprano : Oh yeah, that Tommy Mottola's one slow motherfucker, right? What? It's been about a year?

  Janice Soprano : Actually, we are not going with Sony, we're considering a smaller, independent label

  Tony Soprano : Oh, naturally, got any coffee?

  Janice Soprano : [while walking to the kitchen]  I may have only soy milk

  Janice Soprano : [when Tony notices a men's shoe on the floor]  What? What'd you care? It's none of your business anyhow

  Tony Soprano : [realizing who the shoe belongs to]  Ralph Cifaretto?

  Janice Soprano : It's always fuckin something with you, why can't you stay out of other people's living rooms?

  Tony Soprano : [before dropping the shoe on the floor and leaving]  Jesus Christ

• Christopher Moltisanti : [meeting inside Nuovo Vesuvio]  Sorry, I'm late, what's up?

  Tony Soprano : You tell me, I got a call from Jack Massarone from Massarone Construction. A very angry call

  Christopher Moltisanti : [assuming Tony is referring to a prank that was done at the construction site]  the M-80 in the porter potty, I told Benny not to

  Tony Soprano : [angrily]  Don't fuck with me on this

  Christopher Moltisanti : [referring to the material that was stolen]  fiberoptic shit

  Tony Soprano : So, you knew it was gonna be boosted?

  Christopher Moltisanti : No... well, yeah, I mean Patsy mentioned something...

  Tony Soprano : [interrupts him]  Oh, Jesus Christ, if I wanted Patsy in charge. Use your fuckin head

  Christopher Moltisanti : I'm sorry, I thought I was

  Tony Soprano : By drawing heat to a quarter billion-dollar job? Think! The big fuckin picture, huh?

  Christopher Moltisanti : Aren't they insured?

• Tony Soprano : [Referring to his daughter Meadow]  the kid was suppose to get a job this summer: an internship, then it wasn't right for what she was studying, ok that's one down then she was going to be a hostess at Artie Bucco's restaurant. I got her that and there was a problem that she couldn't work Tuesdays and Thursdays because of her babysitting commitments and Artie didn't try to understand so she left. Then the babysitting family disappeared to Nantucket, then something else fell through

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : So, she's regressing

  Tony Soprano : She keeps it up she'll be back "in the womb"

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Over the course of a child's life there's a constant moving away and coming back, security versus freedom but what I find interesting and if I'm hear you right, is that at the age of nineteen she actually wants to stay close to home

  Tony Soprano : Well, see that's what I was going to say, she did have someone close: die

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Jackie

  Tony Soprano : But she brings that up whenever you ask her to clean up or whatever, she's "traumatized"

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : He was shot to death

  Tony Soprano : Yeah it's tragic that kid

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : It was some kind of drug deal you said?

  Tony Soprano : Yeah exactly all the "earmarks", no its got to be tough but they've broken up and he wasn't very nice to her

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Maybe it's a manipulation in part

  Tony Soprano : She's got a hard on about Columbia: "it's so competitive"

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : But it doesn't mean her pain over Jackie's death isn't real. Has she said to you or Carmella she's depressed?

  Tony Soprano : Oh, come on with that shit, she's going to be alright

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Maybe she should be on medication? And her anger is focused on Carmella? Not on you?

  Tony Soprano : I catch some shit, we were always close even in that "fifteen year old" period where she can hardly stomach Carmella

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Well, you are the dad. The template for all future lovers

  Tony Soprano : She loves me, I know that, since she was a tiny baby

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : It might be helpful if she saw someone. Dr. Wendi Kobler, she's adolescent psychologist and an educational consultant

  Tony Soprano : What'd you mean? Talk about private family stuff like I do here with you?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Yes

  Tony Soprano : Like you said she's going back to school, be with her college pals, back to the "grindstone", that's all good shit

• Carmela Soprano : did you go see Dr. Klober?

  Meadow Soprano : [while lying in bed]  yeah

  Carmela Soprano : well, what did you talk about?

  Meadow Soprano : she says I don't have to tell you or dad: it's "confidential"

  Carmela Soprano : this is what we pay two hundred dollars for

  Meadow Soprano : it was your idea, I only saw her out of a gesture of "good will"

  Meadow Soprano : [after Carmela calls Tony into Meadow's room]  look, I don't know what you're so upset about: it's my right to go to Europe, that's what she said

  Carmela Soprano : I don't care what she said: it's totally irresponsible

  Tony Soprano : [after entering Meadow's room]  what?

  Carmela Soprano : the therapist told her it is her "right" to go to Europe

  Tony Soprano : whoa, whoa, she actually thinks this a good idea?

  Meadow Soprano : she says it's no big deal, I can pick up my education wherever, whenever

  Carmela Soprano : oh, really?

  Meadow Soprano : Wendy said she can get me into a school in Barcelona if I decided to stay

  Tony Soprano : who's "Wendy"?

  Meadow Soprano : Dr. Wendy Klober?

  Carmela Soprano : Barcelona?

  Tony Soprano : I could take Melfi's head and crush it like a fuckin walnut

  Carmela Soprano : I feel "battered"

  Meadow Soprano : [getting out of bed]  I've got to get to the salon

  Carmela Soprano : did you tell "Wendy" you didn't work all summer?

  Meadow Soprano : [sarcastically]  wait, your right, I forgot to mention the "pivotal role" of the work ethic in this family

  Carmela Soprano : you can lose that "smart mouth" right now

  Meadow Soprano : or what? What is this Afghanistan? I'm over eighteen now, I'm a grown woman I can go wherever I want and do what I want

  Carmela Soprano : [raises her voice]  alright, Jesus, God, we know that, is that your only point here? Because "just" getting what you want is for babies, not adults

  Meadow Soprano : it may interest you to know she thinks I probably should be on Prozac

  Carmela Soprano : [surprised]  she does?

  Tony Soprano : she said that?

  Meadow Soprano : Jackie was murdered, I know you think it's noting that screwing my head off at the Columbia army game wouldn't cure

  Carmela Soprano : that is so unfair

  Tony Soprano : alright, look, I've been thinking about this: now you're a smart girl, the "right move" is for you to wait, just until next year maybe?

  Meadow Soprano : you know what I don't understand, dad? You were all in favor of me going

  Tony Soprano : your mother doesn't want it

  Meadow Soprano : [sarcastically]  wow, listen to "Mr. mob boss"

  Tony Soprano : what'd you call me?

  Meadow Soprano : all this fucking "pussy footing" around for years now? Why don't we just get it out there?

• Carmela Soprano : [after Tony arrives home]  Oh, thank God, where is the number of the therapist Melfi gave you?

  Tony Soprano : Why? What happened?

  Carmela Soprano : Your daughter, she's going to Europe: dropping out of school and going all over the place on a Euro pass

  Tony Soprano : What, is she fucking kidding?

  Carmela Soprano : Apparently not, her passport from the Christmas in the Bahamas is still valid

  Tony Soprano : Where is she?

  Carmela Soprano : I don't know, down the shore

  Tony Soprano : Oh, I suppose all these parties she goes to are all memorials for Jackie Jr., right?

  Carmela Soprano : Please with the yelling

  Tony Soprano : So, what the fuck is in Europe?

  Carmela Soprano : Experience, "real life", art

  Tony Soprano : You know I knew when this constant "harping" on art was gonna cause trouble

  Carmela Soprano : She's going to work in publicity with some friend of Misty's and going to make a movie in Denmark. I think we should call that therapist

  Tony Soprano : She's going back to school: they got counselors there, better ones, Ivy league ones. No fucking way she's going to Europe

  Carmela Soprano : Fine
