Quotes 

• Tony Soprano : [on the golf course, giving Dr. Kennedy a golf club as a gift]  For you. Titanium. I use one! Added ten yards to my drives!

  Dr. John Kennedy : Thanks, but I really can't accept it.

  Tony Soprano : For everything you've done for my uncle. Anyway, what am I gonna do with it? I already got one, and Mr. Williams here

  [motioning to Furio] 

  Tony Soprano : , he don't play. Right?

  Furio Giunta : Stupid-a-fucking game!

• Dr. John Kennedy : [Chuckles, accepting Tony's gift]  well I guess I could use some extra distance

  Tony Soprano : Who couldn't?

  Tony Soprano : [Starts walking closer to him with Furio to intimidate him]  you know my uncle, his not doing so well. His got a bad reaction to that Chemo

  Dr. John Kennedy : That happens all the time, there's nothing I can really do

  Furio Giunta : You know there are worst things that can happen to a person than cancer

  Tony Soprano : [Continues walking closer to him until Kennedy's right foot steps into the pond]  my uncle thinks his going to die. His convinced of it. You know how old people are with their superstitions. He thinks it's because he went against you

  Dr. John Kennedy : I'm just a surgeon that's all

  Tony Soprano : Show that man the respect he deserves: answer his phone calls

  Dr. John Kennedy : [Takes out a digital recorder to record a message for his secretary, before Tony slaps the recorder out of his hand and into the pond]  "Cheryl, make sure Mr. Soprano is scheduled for..."

  Tony Soprano : [Before driving off in a golf cart]  just remember it

• Corrado Erico 'Uncle Junior' Soprano : [impressed with the photos on Kennedy's wall]  you took these yourself?

  Dr. John Kennedy : [points to one of the photos]  that's a Samoan village I lived in for a month

  Corrado Erico 'Uncle Junior' Soprano : you could send these in to National Geographic

  Dr. John Kennedy : so, I got back your complete surgical pathology and OP reports

  Corrado Erico 'Uncle Junior' Soprano : I feel a hundred percent

  Dr. John Kennedy : that's good... it's possible there may be some malignant cells we didn't get. See, when we operate, we have to decide how much healthy tissue to cut around the tumor, the margins weren't wide enough. We took a small sampling of the tumor from the frozen section and when we got back the complete results, it showed Nodal Involvement

  Corrado Erico 'Uncle Junior' Soprano : don't blame yourself, so what do we do next?

  Dr. John Kennedy : it's called amended surgery

  Corrado Erico 'Uncle Junior' Soprano : oh, Jesus, cut me again?

  Corrado Erico 'Uncle Junior' Soprano : [after a secretary informed Kennedy his next patient arrived]  don't let me keep you

  Dr. John Kennedy : I am kind of backed up: let's schedule you for Tuesday at 6am, we can admit you and prep you Monday night, any questions?

  Bobby 'Bacala' Baccalieri : when can he eat regular food again?

  Dr. John Kennedy : I'd guess two weeks? Let's fill out the surgical consent forms, that's one less thing you have to deal with in the hospital, take all the time you need to read them

  Corrado Erico 'Uncle Junior' Soprano : no need, you say sign, I sign. You tell me to take a crap on the deck of the Queen Mary, an hour later their hosing her down with disinfectant
