Tony Soprano : Don't you got somewhere to be?
Meadow Soprano : I mean, it's a joke. Look what they're putting the President through.
Carmela Soprano : He deserved what he got.
Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr. : He got Monica Lewinsky and the broad with the long nose.
Meadow Soprano : I just don't think sex should be a punishable offense.
Tony Soprano : You know honey, that's where I agree with you. I don't think sex should be a punishable offense either. But I do think talking about sex at the breakfast table is a punishable offense. So no more sex talk, OK?
Meadow Soprano : It's the 90s. Parents are supposed to discuss sex with their children.
Tony Soprano : Yeah, but that's where you're wrong. You see out there it's the 1990s but in this house it's 1954.

Tony Soprano : 1990s.
[points to the floor]

Carmela Soprano : You know, Ma, your son loves you very much. He worries all the time. And he felt bad that you didn't come to the open house. I don't care if you think it's disrespectful, but I want you to cut the drama. It's killing Tony.
Livia Soprano : What are you talking about?
Carmela Soprano : I'm talking about this. This "poor mother, nobody loves me" victim crap. It is textbook manipulation. And I hate seeing Tony so upset over it.
Livia Soprano : I know how to talk to people.
Carmela Soprano : I am a mother too, don't forget. You know the power that you have. And you use it like a pro.
Livia Soprano : Power? What power? I don't have power! I'm a shut-in!
Carmela Soprano : You're bigger than life. You are his mother. I don't think for one second that you don't know what you're doing to him.
Livia Soprano : Who me? Me? What did I do?
