• Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Introducing Paulie to Brian at Paulie's welcome back from prison party at the Bada Bing strip club]  say hello to Brian Cammarata, Carm's cousin, the financial guy

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : How you doing kid?

  Brian Cammarata : [Jokingly]  so, just back from "college" huh?

  Brian Cammarata : Nice meeting you

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : So, how you doing? You ok?

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : Just thank God that piece of shit from Youngstown "copped" to that gun. I could've been wearing an orange jumpsuit until I'm ninety

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : Thanks T, not that I don't appreciate it but I could've used a boost while I was gone too. Fuckin bills. Then there's ma with the private home care. You know she almost lost her spot at Green Grove? An extra 5g's to hold her place

• Ralph Cifaretto : So is there any investment advice for an ambitious young man like myself

  Brian Cammarata : "Buy land I guess because God ain't making any more of it", that's what Will Rogers said

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : It's true, my house is worth nearly triple of what I paid

  Ralph Cifaretto : Location's the key right? Otherwise you get stuck with shit

  Brian Cammarata : Sometimes there's money in shit

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : How'd you mean?

  Brian Cammarata : Nothing, I don't know

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : We're just talking here come on

  Brian Cammarata : I don't know. Some guy I went to school with, this black guy. We worked for one summer for this not-for-profit housing group. He told me about some scam this minister was involved in up in Harlem

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I read about this: fake mortgage loans or something right?

  Brian Cammarata : Actually, you ever hear of HUD?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Housing Development yeah

  Brian Cammarata : HUD was set up to help minorities and low income families become home owners

  Ralph Cifaretto : There are more programs for these dead beats I swear to Christ

  Brian Cammarata : As long as the Fed is guaranteeing the home mortgage the banks figure "what the hell?" They'll loan the money. You get a front man to buy houses in a crummy neighborhood. I'm talking real shit boxes that are worth like a hundred grand a piece. Next, you tie up with some not-for-profit organization who goes to HUD and say they intend to buy these houses from your stooge
