Quotes 

• Tony Soprano : This is gonna sound stupid, but I saw at one point that our mothers are... bus drivers. No, they are the bus. See, they're the vehicle that gets us here. They drop us off and go on their way. They continue on their journey. And the problem is that we keep tryin' to get back on the bus, instead of just lettin' it go.

• Tony Soprano : Talk about a trip. I met this girl, fuckin' beautiful. We did peyote.

  Silvio Dante : Come on!

  Bobby 'Bacala' Baccalieri : Really?

  Carlo Gervasi : Bobby did mushrooms once. Stuffed mushrooms, a whole fuckin' platter.

• Salvatore 'Coco' Cogliano : [after Tony discovers the affront Coco made to Meadow he walks towards him who is talking to a waiter, with a gun]  Some peppers and cheese, gorgonzola. Alright? Don't Forget

  Butch DeConcini : [Tony starts to beat Coco to a pulp]  WHOA! WHOA!

  Tony Soprano : [training his gun at Butch]  Sit down! SIT DOWN!

  Butch DeConcini : [sits down]  Easy, easy!

  Tony Soprano : You motherfucker! My fuckin' daughter

  [beating Coco] 

  Tony Soprano : My fuckin' daughter. MOTHERFUCKER! MY FUCKIN' DAUGHTER!

  [puts his gun in Coco's mouth] 

  Tony Soprano : You want some Sambuca with this?

  Butch DeConcini : Tony! You're makin' a big fuckin' mistake here!

  Tony Soprano : [aiming at Butch again]  How about I put a bullet in your fuckin' head huh?

  [pulls Coco and puts his mouth on the fireplace] 

  Salvatore 'Coco' Cogliano : Don't do it!

  [Tony curb stomps Coco, making him lose some teeth as Butch looks away] 

  Tony Soprano : [threatening Butch]  Want some?

• Tony Soprano : When you were sick in the hospital, we talked. We shared a, uh... an understanding about life.

  Phil Leotardo : This is business, Anthony.

  Tony Soprano : Yeah, I know. But I'm talkin' to you here on a human level. There's a limit, Phil. C'mon. A point where business bleeds into other shit. Feelings make things financially unfeasible.

  Phil Leotardo : [chuckles]  Charles Schwab, over here.

  Tony Soprano : So that's it. No leeway, no compromise, just stupid fuckin' jokes.

  Phil Leotardo : You want compromise, how's this? Twenty years in the can I wanted manicott', but I compromised. I ate grilled cheese off the radiator instead. I wanted to fuck a woman, but I compromised. I jacked off into a tissue. You see where I'm goin'?

• Little Carmine Lupertazzi : So, the reason I'm here you could probably guess.

  Tony Soprano : What happened at Coco's restaurant.

  Little Carmine Lupertazzi : This alteration you had with him. You're at the precipice, Tony, of an enormous crossroad.

• Tony Soprano : I'm depressed.

  Carmela Soprano : I'm telling you. Don't you start now.

  Tony Soprano : What does that mean?

  Carmela Soprano : It means what it means. I have enough on my plate, I don't need you adding to it with your bullshit.

  Tony Soprano : Bullshit? It's an illness and it's fuckin' hereditary.

  Carmela Soprano : Thank you, I know. I am intimately acquainted with the Soprano curse. Your father, your uncle, your great-grandfather who drove the donkey cart off the road in Avellino, all of it.

  Tony Soprano : Oh, you think it's a joke?

  Carmela Soprano : Am I laughing?

  Tony Soprano : Well, then what are you sayin'?

  Carmela Soprano : He didn't get it from my family. That's all I'm gonna say.

  Tony Soprano : Your family don't even talk. Your father's so bottled up it's a wonder he's even got a stomach left.

  Carmela Soprano : Yeah, as opposed to yours.

  Tony Soprano : At least my father was out front about what was botherin' him.

  Carmela Soprano : Right, with a bullet through your mother's beehive hairdo.

• Tony Soprano : [Tony enters the room and everybody becomes quiet]  alright let's dispense with the five hundred pound elephant in the room, my kid tried to off himself we all fucking know, that's it? Nobody's got nothing to say?

  Bobby 'Bacala' Baccalieri : How's he doing?

  Tony Soprano : They got him "under observation" whatever the fuck that means

  [to himself] 

  Tony Soprano : stupid fuck, where did I lose this kid?

  [to everybody] 

  Tony Soprano : what did I do wrong?

  Silvio Dante : Don't blame yourself

  Bobby 'Bacala' Baccalieri : A lot of pressure on kids today

  Tony Soprano : It's enough for him to try to kill himself?

  Bobby 'Bacala' Baccalieri : It happens

  Tony Soprano : [to Bobby]  did it happen to your kids?

  [to patsy] 

  Tony Soprano : or yours?

  Patsy Parisi : They're all different my son Patrick I love him to death but he can be a moody prick sometimes

  Silvio Dante : When heather was fifteen she went through a rough patch

  Patsy Parisi : Jason same thing, his got the hyperactivity to boot

  Carlo Gervasi : My son too, the older one James

  Paulie Walnuts : He tried to kill himself?

  Carlo Gervasi : No, I don't know he gets the blues

  Silvio Dante : The important thing is AJ is getting the help he needs, whatever it is I'm sure it's just a chemical imbalance

  Paulie Walnuts : If you ask me it's all these toxins the kids are exposed to, it fucks with their brains, between the Mercury in fish alone, it's a wonder why there's even more kids jumping off bridges

• Anthony Soprano, Jr. : [to Carmela]  You know, it's always what you think, isn't it? It's never how I feel.

  Tony Soprano : Oh, poor you. It's all your mother fault, isn't it?

  Anthony Soprano, Jr. : I didn't say that.

  Tony Soprano : You're a mama's boy.

• Tony Soprano : [Referring to AJ's suicide attempt]  Why me huh?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Why not you?

  Tony Soprano : Because I'm a good guy basically, I love my family. There's a balance: there's a Ying, there's a Yang. You think you know, you think you learn something, like when I got shot

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Know what?

  Tony Soprano : Alright when I was Las Vegas I took peyote, I was curious I don't know

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You were searching for something?

  Tony Soprano : I saw some "things", not "things", per se hallucinations Roger Corman shit. It was kind of disappointing, it wasn't any of that

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : What was there?

  Tony Soprano : It's kind of hard to describe, I mean you've done that right? Acid?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : No

  Tony Soprano : [after sighing]  all I can say is I saw for pretty certain that everything we see and experience, is not all there is

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : What else is there?

  Tony Soprano : Something else. That's as far I can go with it. I don't fuckin know

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Alternate universes?

  Tony Soprano : You're going to be a comedian now?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I'm not

  Tony Soprano : Maybe this is going to sound stupid but at one point that our mothers are bus drivers, no they are the bus, see? They're the vehicle that gets us here. They drop us off and go on their way. They continue on their journey and the problem is we keep trying to get back onto the bus. Instead of just letting it go

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : That's very insightful

  Tony Soprano : Jesus don't act so surprised

• Kelli Moltisanti : [while having dinner]  I used to love that house, but now... it's so big, especially at night

  Tony Soprano : You know if you're afraid, all you gotta do is call, aright? Two minutes, I'll be over

  Anthony Soprano, Jr. : It's true, read the paper

  Tony Soprano : I do read the paper: never heard that

  Anthony Soprano, Jr. : I'm not talking about the sports page and the FDA, they approved a virus spray because it kills a similar bacteria found on meat

  Tony Soprano : Must be a good thing then?

  Anthony Soprano, Jr. : Yeah, for the meatpackers: the fucking God and the bottom line

  Tony Soprano : [gestures to Kelli and Caitlin, referring to Christopher's death]  That's enough, we're trying to eat here and your upsetting people that been through a tragedy

  Anthony Soprano, Jr. : Fine, bury your head in the sand

  Tony Soprano : [angrily]  How about I bury your head in that fuckin wall instead?

  Carmela Soprano : Tony...

  Tony Soprano : [yells to AJ as AJ walks away, referring to AJ's lack of academic discipline, sarcastically]  Twenty years he won't crack a book, all of a sudden, he's the world's foremost authority!

  Carmela Soprano : Well, at least his getting an education

  Tony Soprano : An education is getting a better job

  Carmela Soprano : His actually reading: this can't be bad

  Butch DeConcini : I just talked to him in person: he ain't seeing nobody

  Little Carmine Lupertazzi : [before gesturing to Tony]  what's going on Butch? I just "brokered" this "thing." He came here making a peace offering: a semi trail of drills: Makitas

  Carmela Soprano : You heard me

  Tony Soprano : Oh, it's all me, huh? Our sonny boy? You had nothing to do with it?
