- Carmela Soprano: Your father and I have discussed your punishment
- Tony Soprano: Your grounded for a month. That means no Nintendo, no DVD's, no skate boards
- Carmela Soprano: And no computer
- A.J. Soprano: I use the computer for school
- Carmela Soprano: Get the typewriter out of the basement
- A.J. Soprano: Dad threw it out
- Carmela Soprano: Then use a pen. It worked for Einstein, it can work for you
- Tony Soprano: On top of that you're going to work your little ass off around here which you should have been doing anyway
- A.J. Soprano: OK
- Tony Soprano: OK or not, you got no choice. Number one you go to the garage and clean it out, make it neat and organized
- Carmela Soprano: Jackie Jr. did that the other day
- Tony Soprano: [to Carmela] See what I'm saying about him?
- Tony Soprano: [to AJ] You know you ought to take a few lessons from Jackie Aprile. Get your act together, the kid's pre-med at Rutgers and finds time to come down here and help out
- Carmela Soprano: And your going to clean the gutters
- A.J. Soprano: What gutters?
- Tony Soprano: On the roof
- A.J. Soprano: Where?
- Tony Soprano: On the edge, the things that collect the water?
- A.J. Soprano: I don't know what you mean
- Tony Soprano: [Assuming AJ is playing dumb to get out of the punishment] Don't get smart with me
- A.J. Soprano: I don't know
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Amazing thing about snakes is that they reproduce spontaneously.
- Tony Soprano: What do you mean?
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: They have both male and female sex organs. That's why somebody you don't trust you call a snake. How can you trust a guy who can literally go fuck themselves?
- Tony Soprano: Don't you think that expression would've come from the Adam and Eve story? When the snake tempted Eve to bite the apple?
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Hey, snakes were fucking themselves long before Adam and Eve showed up, T.
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Your thoughts have sort-of an Eastern flavor to them.

- A.J. Soprano: I don't know
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: I need a favor
- Ralph Cifaretto: What?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: I need a "piece." I mean don't "need" one but you know
- Ralph Cifaretto: Anything you want to tell me?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: No, it's just time you know
- Ralph Cifaretto: What're you looking to get?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: I don't know, what'd you suggest?
- Ralph Cifaretto: [while retrieving a .38 pistol revolver from his jacket] me? I'd like to know the mother fucker is going to work. Now a thirty eight will never jam on you plus it's small but if your looking to make a point, you might want to go with something bigger
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: No, it's not really for intimidation, just in case
- Ralph Cifaretto: Yeah I'd go with a thirty eight. You can have this one. I got another one under the bed
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: How much I owe you for it?
- Ralph Cifaretto: Get out here, your money's no good
- Carmela Soprano: I cannot believe this. Do you know how serious this is?
- Carmela Soprano: [after AJ remains silent] do you? Answer me right now
- A.J. Soprano: Yes
- Carmela Soprano: Yes what?
- A.J. Soprano: I know it's serious
- Carmela Soprano: So, why did you do it?
- A.J. Soprano: I don't know
- Carmela Soprano: Why did you do it? Do you hate the school? Do you have a problem with someone there or something?
- A.J. Soprano: No
- Carmela Soprano: Then why?
- A.J. Soprano: It just happened. We went swimming as a group. Someone threw something in the pool. Couple of guys started throwing stuff into the pool. We just did it
- Carmela Soprano: And if they were "just" jumping off the George Washington Bridge would you "just" do that too?
- A.J. Soprano: No
- Tony Soprano: [Asking why AJ is home when he should be in school] what're you doing here?
- Carmela Soprano: Answer your father
- A.J. Soprano: I got sent home
- Tony Soprano: Why?
- Tony Soprano: [Raising his voice after AJ remains silent] Why?
- A.J. Soprano: I got into trouble
- Carmela Soprano: Your son broke into his school Friday night and vandalized the swimming pool
- Tony Soprano: How do you vandalize a swimming pool?
- Carmela Soprano: Threw a bunch of stuff in it and broke things
- Tony Soprano: What'd you do that for?
- A.J. Soprano: Screwing around
- Tony Soprano: [Smacks his head] on your mother's birthday?
- A.J. Soprano: It wasn't. It was after midnight
- Tony Soprano: What're you fuckin stupid? So are you suspended?
- A.J. Soprano: I don't know
- Carmela Soprano: Tony, do you know how serious this is? He may be expelled
- Tony Soprano: What'd they say?
- A.J. Soprano: Nothing, they just sent me home. They said to bring your parents into the principal's office
- Tony Soprano: On your mother's birthday
- A.J. Soprano: They're going to call you
- Tony Soprano: Just when everything was going good, your going to miss the big game. Your screwing everything up. Your football career down the drain!
- Tony Soprano: [referring to the birthday gift he bought her] The ring looks beautiful on you
- Carmela Soprano: It is gorgeous: is there anything you need to tell me?
- Tony Soprano: About the ring?
- Carmela Soprano: I don't know, you didn't buy that little car you were talking about
- Tony Soprano: Mercedes? I look like a douche bag in one of those
- Carmela Soprano: Jean Cusamano calls your cars a midlife crisis mobiles
- Tony Soprano: What the fuck does she know?
- Tony Soprano: [when Carmela sighs] What?
- Carmela Soprano: [referring to them dating] I don't know, I'm m not thrilled about this thing with Jackie and Meadow. I think she came home and he came over so they can go out tonight
- Tony Soprano: So what? He's a good kid, comes from good stock
- Carmela Soprano: His been on his best behavior lately, I can't deny that. I just never pictured Meadow with someone like him
- Tony Soprano: Someone like him? His one of us
- Tony Soprano: [referring to Noah Tannenbaum, her previous boyfriend, a Jewish African American] Don't tell me you were happy when she was going out with that Jamal Ginsberg, Hasidic homeboy?
- Carmela Soprano: I just don't want her to miss the opportunities that are available to her: she should be at the Museum of Modern Art in her free time, not watching TV at Rosalie Aprile's
- Tony Soprano: Oh, you'd rather have her look at pictures of soup cans than be close to home?
- Carmela Soprano: [sighs] I don't know
- Tony Soprano: Well, you talk to her and I'll talk to Jackie Jr.
- Carmela Soprano: [after meeting with AJ's principle and football coach to discuss his punishment for vandalizing the swimming pool] you completely sold us out in there
- Tony Soprano: what'd I do?
- Carmela Soprano: they're not punishing him at all and you went right along with it
- Tony Soprano: I suggested detention
- Carmela Soprano: that whole "thing" was a disgusting charade so the freshman football team can win the big game
- Tony Soprano: we've been waiting for years for him to get off the couch, this is good for him
- Carmela Soprano: oh, please
- Tony Soprano: we should keep this in the family: punish him at home, he ain't getting off that easy
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: [shows him a pornographic magazine] well, right arm's still good, no?
- Matush: [while in the hospital with his left arm broken] you think that's funny?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: sorry, tell me what happened?
- Matush: I did like you said, I stayed outside
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: you must've disrespected them or something?
- Matush: I didn't do shit
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: did you mention my name? That I sat down with Chris?
- Matush: they didn't give a shit, I don't think they like you. I gotta pee
- Matush: [referring to the bedpan] can you give me the thing?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: [disgusted] you should get the nurse to help you, it's what they get paid to do, maybe it'll give you a cheap thrill?
- Cop #1: You make this pizza?
- Guiseppe: Who make this pizza?
- Cop #1: We're asking you.
- Cop #2: This your store logo, sir?
- Guiseppe: That's my box.
- Cop #2: This pie was found at a crime scene.
- Guiseppe: My pizza never hurt nobody.
- Cop #2: Come again, sir?
- Guiseppe: You no find any bacteria in here.
- Cop #2: Some kids broke into Verbum Dei High School, broke things. They left this there.
- Guiseppe: Now you tell me their names, I'll go put my foot up there ass!
- Little Joe: I got it, Pop. That's a custom job.
- Cop #1: How's that, sir?
- Little Joe: Double meatball, pepperoni, sausage, peppers, onions, extra mozzarell.'
- Cop #1: This pie fit a pattern?
- Little Joe: Come again, officer?
- Cop #2: Any customers order this combo on a regular basis?
- Little Joe: Only one I know.
- Cop #2: Who's that?
- Little Joe: I'd rather not say.
- Guiseppe: Tell me right now! I find these bastards!
- Little Joe: Pop, go in the back, make meatballs. Go ahead.
- Cop #1: Sir.
- Little Joe: Yes, officer?
- Cop #1: Word to the wise.
- Little Joe: What's that?
- Cop #1: Technically, you're an accessory after the fact.
- Principal Cincotta: Verbum Dei has a strict zero tolerance policy in cases of vandalism. It's a policy that demands the immediate expulsion of the offending student
- Tony Soprano: [to the principal then to AJ] I told him, you see?
- Principal Cincotta: Having said that in this case after much deliberation and assessment, we have decided on a "suspended sentence." This consideration has only been arrived at upon Anthony's academic performance and his involvement in extracurricular sport
- Carmela Soprano: His academic performance?
- Principal Cincotta: His brought his GPA up to a C...
- Tony Soprano: So, what is the punishment?
- Principal Cincotta: We suggest and hope that Anthony's punishment be meaded out parentally
- Carmela Soprano: So, it's not exactly "zero tolerance?"
- Father Nicolai: Each child is special: that's the guiding principal of this school too
- Tony Soprano: What about detention?
- Principal Cincotta: A lawsuit a few years back forced us to eliminate our detention program
- Tony Soprano: Well, his off the football team right?
- Father Nicolai: No
- Principal Cincotta: Studies done at Harvard and elsewhere have shown that boys have greater success in avoiding the pitfalls of adolescent when committed to and involved in sport
- Tony Soprano: [to AJ] You better wipe that smile off your face
- Tony Soprano: Look, I told him his going to be off the team. Now aren't you kind of...
- Carmela Soprano: [Interrupts him] undermining...
- Father Nicolai: [Interrupts her] It's not only skill that Anthony has shown on the field, it's also leadership qualities as well. We feel that it'll be against his best interests and the team's to sever his relationship with the squad
- Tony Soprano: Well, if you think that's best
- Principal Cincotta: However, and I can't this strong enough, if there is one more infraction of our code, the sentence will be immediately go into effect and Anthony will be expelled
- Principal Cincotta: [Leans forward] do you understand this Anthony?
- A.J. Soprano: Yes
- Meadow Soprano: So, I've been thinking about getting a car
- Tony Soprano: I knew I was going to get hit up for something on this trip
- Meadow Soprano: What? You can spend thousands on sapphires but a hard working student has to take the bus everywhere?
- Tony Soprano: You live a block away the school, what'd you need a car for?
- Meadow Soprano: It'd be nice to hop in a car to have dinner with you guys once in a while
- Carmela Soprano: They steal cars left and right in New York: parking is impossible besides the bus gets you here in forty-five minutes
- Meadow Soprano: I'm not asking for anything fancy, just something to get me around
- Tony Soprano: You could've had a car last year but you chose not to take it
- Meadow Soprano: Eric's car. Is that a sick joke? It may interest you to know his father is now in a mental health facility in Nevada
- Carmela Soprano: Why don't you wait and see how this semester goes? You were just complaining on how there's so much work you had to do. Don't you think you should concentrate on that?
- Meadow Soprano: I am concentrating, what the hell do you think I am? Jesus Christ you sound like a broken record
- Tony Soprano: Hey!
- Carmela Soprano: Keep it down a notch. We just want to make sure your taking advantage all the city has to offer you. Culturally, socially, and educationally
- Adriana La Cerva: [after he takes the blindfold off her and she sees an empty club] What?
- Christopher Moltisanti: It's yours
- Adriana La Cerva: What is?
- Christopher Moltisanti: This is the Lollipop in Long Branch: this is your club
- Christopher Moltisanti: [when she looks confused] I'm a partner here now, me and Furio. We're gonna be silent, you're gonna be the owner and manager, you book the bands, you find the talent, whatever you wanna do, it's yours
- Adriana La Cerva: [hugs him] Oh my God, I can't believe it
- Christopher Moltisanti: Your gonna turn this place into the biggest Jersey club since the Stone Pony
- Adriana La Cerva: thank you, I'm so excited, can we change the name?
- Christopher Moltisanti: Whatever you want baby
- Christopher Moltisanti: [introducing him, after Rocco is escorted in by Furio and Benny] This is Rocco, he works for you
- Rosalie Aprile: I'd like to make a toast: the blossoming friendship between our two children. I'm very happy to see my son spending time with someone like Meadow: she'll be a wonderful influence on him. You did a great job
- Carmela Soprano: Thank you, solute
- Rosalie Aprile: It's nice to see our families unite, isn't it? Like with Ralphie, he goes and on about Tony and the promotion, his really happy getting close to him
- Carmela Soprano: Ralph is a "real find", you hang onto him
- Rosalie Aprile: It was tough at first, I was afraid everyone was gonna thought I rushed it, that I didn't mourn Jack enough
- Carmela Soprano: [after Artie walks by their table, not paying attention to them] I think his under a lot of pressure, I heard Charmaine hired a lawyer
- Rosalie Aprile: Divorce? You know it's funny but you'd think the men in our lives have been... you know and we stay together and here's Artie a regular guy, hardworking and his marriage is in the toilet
- Carmela Soprano: You can only push a man so far
- Rosalie Aprile: True, very true
- Gloria Trillo: [while at the zoo, looking at the baboons] You have to wonder what their thinking
- Tony Soprano: [jokingly] I'm thinking "You guys ever smell yourself? Because you're killing us over here"
- Gloria Trillo: [laughs] Your probably right, huh?
- Tony Soprano: [kisses her, after smelling her perfume] Except for you: what you got on, even a baboon would love
- Gloria Trillo: It's their "innocence", it's like their babies
- Tony Soprano: Yeah, they can "innocently" maw you into ten pieces
- Gloria Trillo: Usually, they engage in what's called "threat behavior"
- Tony Soprano: That's because they already did all their "mawing", all they gotta do is give you a look
- Gloria Trillo: You know other primates, they groom each other?
- Tony Soprano: That I like
- Tony Soprano: [after seeing a necklace around her neck] What's this?
- Gloria Trillo: It's Tibetan, meant for protection
- Tony Soprano: I knew it, I knew that had to be "something"
- Gloria Trillo: What? What is wrong with that? It's a Buddhist symbol
- Tony Soprano: [referring to Janice] My sister was a Buddhist: she's a whack job
- Gloria Trillo: Oh, I see, so I ought to be a whack job too?
- Gloria Trillo: [during her therapy session] overall, it's been a good two weeks
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: what about the nightmares?
- Gloria Trillo: none. I had a wonderful dream where I lit the big torch at the Olympics
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: what do you think that "represented"?
- Gloria Trillo: well, work has been good: my sales are way up and my performance has been commended from Mercedes-Benz US with a little plaque
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: what's going on with your social life?
- Gloria Trillo: nothing... right now but it's ok
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: what I'm going to say is a little delicate but it is important. When you called me last week to cancel, I heard a man's voice
- Gloria Trillo: my car broke down: it could've been the mechanic
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: I see
- Gloria Trillo: I'm a little offended that you put it to me that way
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: offended? Why?
- Gloria Trillo: well, I don't pay you to be under your "surveillance." How dare you
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: you came to me after attempting suicide from the breakup with Barry. I "asked" you because you're under my care
- Gloria Trillo: I think it's very unprofessional for you to "confront" me this way
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: suicide is something I take very seriously
- Gloria Trillo: well, the doctor in the ER said it was only "suicidal ideation"
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: is he trained to give those diagnoses?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: [sternly] my car broke down
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: fine, I'll believe you
- Gloria Trillo: thank you
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: [while in his car, referring to resolving the dispute Matush had with Christopher dealing ecstasy inside his club] it's all taken care of
- Matush: thanks man
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: you just can't do it in the club: have your customers meet you outside
- Matush: [confused] outside where?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: [irritated] near the club, use your car, of their car? Find an alley, I gotta fuckin think it all out for you?
- Matush: that's going to make things a lot harder on me
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: this all happens for good "reason" right now, "reasons" beyond anything you can possibly know
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: [when Matush doesn't respond] in time, everything will be revealed to you... couple weeks, you'll be back inside, don't worry
- Matush: if that's the way it is, that's the way it is. I'll see you
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: [before Matush gets out of his car] are you forgetting something?
- Matush: what?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: I'm looking out for you here, I gotta eat too, right?
- Matush: yeah, sure I'll take care of you
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: I'll be by every Sunday
- Matush: cool
- Gloria Trillo: [while dancing in a hotel room after Tony turns on romantic music] I just want to tell you that I don't expect anything from you but kindness: that's it
- Tony Soprano: Ok
- Gloria Trillo: [amused] You are really in love with yourself, aren't you?
- Tony Soprano: You mean conceited?
- Gloria Trillo: Self-centered, ok there's a bunch of alternates you could've said. You deprive yourself of nothing
- Tony Soprano: [confused] You think I'm vain?
- Gloria Trillo: [beginning to undress, after pushing him down onto a couch] I think your wonderful
- Tony Soprano: [when she feels the revolver in his ankle holster, explaining why he has a gun] Some of my "accounts" are in bad neighborhoods
- Gloria Trillo: I know why you lie but you don't have to, can I hold it?
- Gloria Trillo: It's heavy... is it loaded?
- Tony Soprano: Nothing more useless than an unloaded gun
- Gloria Trillo: [hands the gun back to him] There you go
- Gloria Trillo: [jokingly] Mr. "Waste Management"
- Tony Soprano: [referring to AJ's punishment] I mean, we're paying the school: we're buying a service. If their opinion is he shouldn't be treated too harshly, you gotta listen to the experts, right?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: [after she slightly shrugs] what else is going on? How is the rest of your week?
- Tony Soprano: to be honest? Very good
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: why is that?
- Tony Soprano: well, I guess that's how life is sometimes? Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad. Things come, things go
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: how are things with you and Carmela?
- Tony Soprano: she was moody for a while but now she's her old self. Maybe it was from coming here?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: possibly, well, you do look happy, I must say
- Tony Soprano: yeah, I went to the zoo the other day
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: [surprised] the zoo?
- Tony Soprano: [jokingly] yeah, you know, sometimes you gotta get away and smell the gorilla shit
- Tony Soprano: [after she chuckles] it's good to be in nature though
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: and the zoo made you happy?
- Tony Soprano: yeah, I think a lot of it's because of you too: you put a lot of time into me and now it's paying off
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: the progress you make is entirely up to you and how honest you are willing to be with yourself and with me
- Tony Soprano: well, I have improved after joyfully participating in the suffering of the world
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Your thoughts have an Eastern flavor to them
- Tony Soprano: [confused] Well, I've lived in Jersey my whole life
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: I mean "Eastern" as in terms of "Asian", like Buddhist or Daoist
- Tony Soprano: [nods] Sun-Tzu, I told you about him
- Carmela Soprano: [after he kisses her neck] good morning
- Tony Soprano: [when he notices them on her ear] new earrings
- Carmela Soprano: I went out and treated myself
- Tony Soprano: they match
- Carmela Soprano: I almost bought the necklace that goes along with them: show some restraint. Although Christmas is coming so...
- Tony Soprano: [interrupts her] maybe. Any cannoli's left from yesterday?
- Carmela Soprano: [referring to looking in the refrigerator] I think you can answer that yourself
- Tony Soprano: Meadow still here?
- Carmela Soprano: Jackie Jr. took her into the city to see, "Aida"
- Tony Soprano: [misunderstanding the name] "I ate her?"
- Carmela Soprano: it's the Elton John musical on Broadway. I have to say you were right: Jackie Jr. has really surprised me. He's been a perfect gentleman, he takes her to the city for a little culture, his great with AJ. As long as she does good in school, things could be a lot worse
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: What happened?
- Carlo Renzi: [Referring to Matush] he was at the Crazy Horse, some "zip" told my man here "new management, new rules", so I asked around. I heard about a guy Moltisanti..something, some "made" guy in the Soprano family is running things down there
- Dino Zerilli: Christopher Moltisanti
- Carlo Renzi: Yeah, that's the name
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: I know Chris, what was your name again?
- Matush: Matush
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: Normally, I would never get involved with a stranger but if Carlo is vouching for you I'm willing to make an exception and take care of it
- Matush: Thank you
- Carlo Renzi: What'd I tell you about my man Jackie?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: Do you know who my father was?
- Matush: The golfer at US open?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: Chris and me associates, you got nothing to worry about. I'll call Carlo in a few days
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: [while sitting at the bar inside the Bada Bing strip club] congrats on the club. I only have admiration for your progress since you got your "button."
- Christopher Moltisanti: Thanks
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: I wanted to have a little sit-down with you about a friend of mine who was doing some business at your club
- Christopher Moltisanti: And when did you want to do this?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: Now if it's ok?
- Christopher Moltisanti: Now's ok for a "chat", not a sit-down
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: Ok, this friend of mine was moving some ex at the club before you took over and the other night he got thrown out on his ass
- Christopher Moltisanti: And?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: I was wanted to ask you as a favor to me, let him keep a little "action" going on. You get a "piece" of whatever he does
- Christopher Moltisanti: Ex is federal territory now, they got a task force with dogs and shit. I don't want it at my club
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: It would mean a lot to me
- Christopher Moltisanti: You got a lot of balls, you hear what I said?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: Yeah
- Christopher Moltisanti: What'd I say?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: No
- Christopher Moltisanti: End of chat
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: Ok thanks
- Tony Soprano: so, I hear your taking Meadow out tonight?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: yeah
- Tony Soprano: where?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: a place in the city called "Shea Josephine", they have live piano music. Harry Connick Jr. used to play there before he became famous: friend of mine's brother is a bartender there
- Tony Soprano: don't you two have class tomorrow?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: she has it at two o'clock and I'm off
- Tony Soprano: how many days they give you off at Rutgers?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: I got class three days a week
- Tony Soprano: listen, I think you're a good kid: you show respect at my house and you come from a good family
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: thanks
- Tony Soprano: as far as my daughter goes, you know I only want the best for her and I'm gonna be very protective over her, you can understand that right?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: of course
- Tony Soprano: so, if you want to spend time with her, I want the best from you. If you're in school, you gotta give it everything you got
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: yeah, right, I know it...
- Tony Soprano: [interrupts him] shut up. Listen to me, I know I've been saying this to you all along but now it's "different", you understand what I'm saying to you?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: I just got an A on my LIT paper
- Tony Soprano: you did?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: Edgar Allan Poe: good writer, what a fuckin nutjob
- Tony Soprano: he's the guy that did all the Vincent Price shit right?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: the guy smoked opium and married his cousin: he was from The Bronx, you believe that?
- Tony Soprano: you got an A huh?
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: I'm doing good Tone
- Tony Soprano: just keep it that way: keep your father in mind
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: [nods] I will
- Tony Soprano: [stands up and hands him money] have some desert on me
- Jackie Aprile Jr.: no, it's ok
- Tony Soprano: take it, just don't keep her out too late
