• Tony Soprano : [Tony chastises his assembled captains who aren't making enough money for the crime family]  This thing is a "pyramid" since time immemorial, shit goes downhill, money goes up: it's that simple. I should not have to be coming here "hat in my hand", reminding you of your duty to that man.

  Tony Soprano : [pointing at Raymond]  and I don't want to hear about the fuckin economy either! I don't want to hear it. Sil, break it down for them. What two businesses have traditionally been recession proof since time immemorial?

  Silvio Dante : Certain aspects of show business... and our thing.

  Tony Soprano : Now that's it. That's all I've gotta say. Frankly, I'm depressed and ashamed.

  Georgie : [Genuinely confused by his idiom]  ice? No I don't

  Tony Soprano : I think you are. I think you're getting a fuckin attitude on you

  Georgie : I'm not. Ice, Tone when it hangs around...

  Silvio Dante : [Interrupts him, implying he should stop talking or he'll anger Tony even further]  Georgie, be quiet

  Georgie : It gets watery, it dilutes the drinks, especially scotch

  Silvio Dante : [Shakes his head, knowing Tony's going to beat Georgie]  Jesus Christ

  Tony Soprano : [throws a cup of ice at him from his right then beats him with the empty metal ice bucket]  here throw it all away, waste it all Mr. John D. Rockefeller, waste it all!
