Quotes 

• Phil Leotardo : That cocksuckin' piece of shit Tony Soprano's cousin - I can't even say his name - murdered Billy. And what did I do about it?... My weakness. Sometimes I think it's in my DNA. My family took shit from the Merigans the minute we got off the boat.

  Butch DeConcini : Come on, the fuck you talkin' about?

  Phil Leotardo : Leotardo. That's my fuckin' legacy... No more, Butchie. No more of this.

• Tony Soprano : How was Florida?

  Phil Leotardo : Hot and sticky, like my balls.

• Phil Leotardo : Leonardo was a great Italian and that was our name originally, Leonardo. But many years ago, when my grandpa came over from Sicily, they changed it at Ellis Island from Leonardo to Leotardo.

  Boy #3 : Why'd they do that for?

  Phil Leotardo : Because they're stupid, that's why. And jealous. They disrespected a proud Italian heritage, and named us after a ballet costume.

  [girl raises her hand] 

  Phil Leotardo : Marissa.

  Girl #2 : That's for modern. In ballet, you wear tutus.

  Boy #2 : It doesn't make a difference.

  Phil Leotardo : That's right, it doesn't.

• Tony Soprano : There he is! So, how was Florida?

  Phil Leotardo : Hot and sticky, like my balls. I spoke to Ginny, she's a wreck. John's in the cancer ward, she's down the road in some fuckin motel

  Tony Soprano : Poor prick, prison's not bad enough, fuckin lung cancer to boot

  Phil Leotardo : [before pointing to his chest]  Tell me about it, Quintuple bypass then the infection: Seven months of physical therapy. I'm just starting now to get back to myself again

  Tony Soprano : Sausage Cioppino, anything spicy can put me back in the emergency room, if I'm not careful. All in all, we're lucky fucks, I tell myself that everyday

  Tony Soprano : [after Phil shrugs]  Now that your back, how about you straighten that family out?

  Phil Leotardo : Not for me. Obviously, health wise, being a boss is a young man's game

  Tony Soprano : Between the joint fitters and the carpenters, those envelopes are "light" over ten percent each week

  Phil Leotardo : I feel it too

  Tony Soprano : The word on the street is that Gerry is a favorite to take over

  Phil Leotardo : His my protegee, I don't stand in his way

  Tony Soprano : [sarcastically, jokingly]  Oh, there's a "ringing endorsement"
