- 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
- Christopher Moltisanti: [singing from inside his car as he pulls up to the guys at the no-work construction site] If I were a carpenter and you were a douche-bag...
- 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!
- Little Paulie Germani: [at the prison visitation booth] Ralph told this funny fucking joke though, at... um... at Albert's party. He goes, "Ginny Sack had a 95-pound mole surgically taken off her ass."
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: He said that?
- Little Paulie Germani: [laughing] Yeah.
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [angrily] You think it's funny?
- Little Paulie Germani: That is in bad taste, huh?
- Adriana La Cerva: Am I under arrest?
- Bureau Chief Cubitoso: Not at this time. But that can all change momentarily
- Agent Deborah Ciccerone: [while sliding the warrant across the table to her] that's a search warrant. Your office and your cocaine
- Adriana La Cerva: It's not my cocaine
- Agent Deborah Ciccerone: Really? It's not what I have you saying on tape
- Adriana La Cerva: You were fuckin taping me?
- Agent Deborah Ciccerone: If I were you, I'd put aside my hurt feelings for a while
- Adriana La Cerva: I told you shit in confidence: nothing that had anything to do with any of this shit
- Agent Deborah Ciccerone: We're offering you a way out. A chance to save your life and Christopher's life
- Adriana La Cerva: You don't give a fuck about us. You and your OBGYN doctor. You just want me and Christopher to stay together long enough so you can find shit out
- Bureau Chief Cubitoso: We understand your fiancée is moving up in the world: or down as the case may be
- Agent Dwight Harris: Problems at the Esplanade construction site
- Adriana La Cerva: Oh my God
- Bureau Chief Cubitoso: We're not asking you to wear a wire. We're not asking you to testify. We just want information
- Adriana La Cerva: [to Deborah Ciccerone] is your name even "Danielle"?
- Agent Deborah Ciccerone: [Remains silent]
- Adriana La Cerva: What if I say no?
- Bureau Chief Cubitoso: If you say no, you'll be placed under arrest and charged with possession and intent to distribute cocaine: a charge that carries with it a penalty of up to twenty-five years in prison
- Adriana La Cerva: Oh my God
- Agent Dwight Harris: After you make bail you can explain to Tony Soprano why you brought an undercover federal agent into his home during Sunday dinner
- Adriana La Cerva: Oh my God
- Agent Deborah Ciccerone: We'll probably never hear about it though. Chances are you and Christopher will just "disappear."
- 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
- Christopher Moltisanti: [referring to Danielle"] There's "something" wrong with that broad
- Adriana La Cerva: There's "something" wrong with you
- Christopher Moltisanti: [while taking out a jewelry case and giving it to her] Yeah? Here's what's wrong with me
- Adriana La Cerva: [when seeing the diamond bracelet inside the case] Holy shit, oh my God! These diamonds!
- Christopher Moltisanti: Harry Winston baby, got more "karats" than Bugs Bunny
- Adriana La Cerva: Christopher...
- Christopher Moltisanti: I had a great conversation with Silvio today
- Adriana La Cerva: What? Tell me
- Christopher Moltisanti: Let's just say Carmela ain't gonna be "first lady" forever
- Little Paulie Germani: [at the prison visitor booth] you look good: better than last time
- Little Paulie Germani: [when Paulie doesn't respond] Ralph came through with those jobs
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [after Little Paulie holds up five fingers, communicating to him the number of jobs he received] what'd Tony say?
- Little Paulie Germani: Tony made him do it. I wished Albert a happy birthday for you
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: who's been to see my ma?
- Little Paulie Germani: I don't think anybody. Chrissy said Tony sent her some chocolates. Chrissy said T made a killing in real estate down in Frelinghuysen: that assemblymen guy "hyped" him to it. Ralph told this funny fucking joke though at Albert's party. He goes, "Ginny Sack had a ninety-five-pound mole surgically taken off her ass"
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [angered] he said that?
- Little Paulie Germani: yeah
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: you think it's funny?
- Little Paulie Germani: that is in bad taste, huh?
- 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?
- Christopher Moltisanti: [after looking through the refrigerator] one beer left?
- Adriana La Cerva: Danielle was over: we had pizza
- Christopher Moltisanti: I figured out what's wrong with that broad and it's some bad shit
- Adriana La Cerva: what's the matter baby? Tony again?
- Christopher Moltisanti: I owe this guy a lot but he's a fuckin jerk sometimes, like his never heard of a "learning curve?" You know what? I'm gonna get high
- Adriana La Cerva: [referring to his promotion] I thought you were gonna stop using junk because of your new job?
- Christopher Moltisanti: I am, this is my goodbye party with heroin, want to do a hit?
- Adriana La Cerva: I don't know, I did some "blow" at the club. It's funny with Tony, it's like Danielle was saying, how we send food to the poorer countries, "no good deed goes unpunished"
- Christopher Moltisanti: what is it with you and this girl?
- Adriana La Cerva: what? I can't have friends?
- Christopher Moltisanti: you're amazing you know that? With all your intelligence, you never see the "big picture", you met her where?
- Adriana La Cerva: at the mall, so?
- Christopher Moltisanti: think, Adriana, think, girl like that, ass like that, she don't have a boyfriend, she don't like Paulie
- Adriana La Cerva: oh, like his Jude Law?
- Christopher Moltisanti: whatever, are you that fuckin blind? She's a dike!
- 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
- Silvio Dante: [to Patsy] I understand we have some business to discuss? The floor is yours
- Patsy Parisi: [to Little Paulie] Go on, tell them
- Little Paulie Germani: I drove out to Youngstown to see uncle Paulie and he was hoping you can settle this shit with Ralph and those no-show carpenter jobs?
- Ralph Cifaretto: Ok, for the record, I had my guy go over the books: we can maybe do two carpenter jobs, one no show, one no work
- Patsy Parisi: two jobs? On a three hundred-million-dollar project?
- Silvio Dante: [to Ralph] Come on, what's the real number?
- Ralph Cifaretto: [amused] What am I speaking in tongues here? Two, maybe I can do three?
- Little Paulie Germani: My uncle's looking for at least ten
- Patsy Parisi: [to Little Paulie after slapping him on the chest] I'm talkin here
- Patsy Parisi: [to everybody, referring to Paulie] The guy's in the can, you think you want to keep him happy maybe?
- Silvio Dante: [before pointing upwards, implying these orders came from Tony] alright, here it is, and this comes from... for the duration, you will give Paulie five carpenter jobs: two no-shows and three no work. One of the no-shows our friend in Youngstown keeps and one he gives to Chrissy here. The others, the no work jobs, that's for Paulie, how he wants to distribute them
- Ralph Cifaretto: It is so decreed, now if there isn't anything else?
- Silvio Dante: There is something else. With Paulie in the can, there's a new acting capo of his crew: it's Chrissy, that's the way certain people want it, we trust there will be no ill will
- 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: want some lunch? I was just about to sit down to a tuna san
- Meadow Soprano: onions? In the morning?
- Carmela Soprano: actually, it's two o'clock
- Meadow Soprano: I'm going out by the pool
- Meadow Soprano: [after seeing her irritated] what mom?
- Carmela Soprano: you said you were gonna get up at eight thirty to be at TCBY Yogurt when the manager got there
- Meadow Soprano: it's like five days before school starts: what's the use of getting a job now?
- Carmela Soprano: oh, I don't know, a few textbooks you could buy? A pair of socks? Anything that we don't have to supply?
- Meadow Soprano: look, this whole "thing" about me working between now and the start of classes is all about you being pissed because I didn't intern at the Papermill Playhouse this summer
- Carmela Soprano: we bought you a car so you could drive back and forth to your internship, you don't feel bad you didn't live up to your end of the deal?
- Meadow Soprano: Jesus, we've been through this how many times? There was no stage craft credit whatsoever on what they had me doing at the Playhouse. Xeroxing does not count towards a drama minor internship
- Carmela Soprano: did you call the drama department? Check that out?
- Meadow Soprano: no, I didn't so can we shitcan the courtroom theatrics?
- Carmela Soprano: watch your mouth
- Meadow Soprano: like I haven't been through enough this year? Twelve credits: two semesters in a row and I'm not entitled to a summer?
- Carmela Soprano: you hardly broke a C your entire second semester
- Meadow Soprano: [sarcastically] maybe you forgot my ex-boyfriend died?
- Carmela Soprano: your grades started going down the tubes while you were still going out with Jackie Jr.
- Meadow Soprano: great, Jesus, did you ever lose a friend at my age? Did you ever have to grieve when you were nineteen?
- Carmela Soprano: honey, you should've been working this summer, if only to feel good about yourself: get your mind off Jackie instead of laying out by that pool
- Meadow Soprano: I "read" out by that pool, probably half "The Canon?"
- Carmela Soprano: [referring to name of the book by Natalie Angier] "The Canon"? Ok, what is that now?
- Meadow Soprano: the great books? Western literature? Dead White Males? Who even in their reductionism have quite interesting things to say about death and loss. Maybe more interesting things than what you have to say?
- Carmela Soprano: is Mary Higgins Clark apart of that group? Because that's what I saw you reading every time I passed by the pool. Can you at least go online and register for classes?
- Meadow Soprano: I will
- 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
- Carmela Soprano: I thought you had final registration today?
- Meadow Soprano: [sighs] "technically" drop and add goes on for the next three weeks
- Carmela Soprano: still, shouldn't you register for the classes you know you want so you don't lose them?
- Meadow Soprano: look, I've decided to take a year off
- Carmela Soprano: what? And do what? Hang around the house?
- Meadow Soprano: actually, I'm going to Europe with Misty
- Carmela Soprano: what are you talking about?
- Meadow Soprano: look, I'm just not ready. If I go back now, I'll have to start meeting with advisors, who will want me to temporarily declare a major. I'll have that to deal with and obviously, you don't want me around here
- Carmela Soprano: that is not what I said at all. You think I don't want you here?
