- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: She's a great girl, you don't want to lose this one
- Silvio Dante: T's right, you could have more kids than the Kennedys, if you're married to some twat what good is it?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: You've got to have balance in a relationship
- Christopher Moltisanti: I know all that, what if the kid thing never happens?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Come on, medicine today, technology
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: This isn't about Ade or anyone else, stay single as long as you can
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: What are you saying?
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: But marriage and our thing don't jive
- Silvio Dante: Everybody we know is married
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Not everybody
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: You want to end up like my Uncle Junior?
- Silvio Dante: Or worse, Paulie?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Exactly
- Christopher Moltisanti: Alright I've got to think about it
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [to all his friends while entering the Bing to his welcome home from prison party] Whattaya hear, whattaya say?
- Tony Soprano: Youngstown my ass, look at this guy, it look like you were in Miami
- Albert Barese: Yeah you look like you were in Miami
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [while hugging him] good to home skip
- Vito Spatafore: What can I get you Paulie?
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: After four months inside? How about laid?
- Christopher Moltisanti: [Jokingly] I heard you getting "laid" up there all the time
- Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano Jr.: [after Tony pulls over in a poor neighborhood] now what?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: what, you afraid?
- Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano Jr.: right, like I haven't seen places like this before
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: you see those houses over there? I'm buying them
- Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano Jr.: those crappy ones? What for?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: for an investment, what've I been saying?
- Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano Jr.: I don't know
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: real estate, buy real estate
- Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano Jr.: dad, the black dude's coming over
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [after Tony rolls down the window] hey, what's up?
- Jemilo: [asking him if he's a police officer] sup? 5-0?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [jokingly, gesturing to AJ] uh, yeah, I'm Starsky and this is Hutch
- Jemilo: [referring to the narcotics his selling] smoke, crack, or crank?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: no, thank you: we're just having a look around
- Jemilo: yeah, no "eye-in, if you ain't buy-in"
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: I thought this was a free country?
- Crackhead: unless you want "something", motherfucker, get the fuck off our street
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: oh, the language on you, you "blow" your father with that mouth?
- Jemilo: the fuck you just say to my sister?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: take it easy, I don't want no trouble, I'm just showing my son the "old neighborhood"
- Jemilo: [shows him his gun underneath his shirt] yeah, well, this our neighborhood now, guinea motherfucker
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [nods, before rolling up the window and driving away] yeah, I can see that
- Agent Deborah Ciccerone: [while having lunch, referring to Adriana and Christopher, to Sanseverino] she's really gonna marry him? What is wrong with this girl?
- Agent Dwight Harris: [jokingly] come on, Moltisanti's a "great catch"
- Agent Robyn Sanseverino: [before everyone laughs] tall, dark, and sociopathic
- Bureau Chief Cubitoso: on a "strategic standpoint", do the nuptials help us or hurt us?
- Agent Dwight Harris: well, if they do get married, brings them closer, obviously and by extension gets her closer to Tony
- Agent Deborah Ciccerone: it could cause her to stop "cooperating"? The guilt becomes "overwhelming." Remember Angel Deletta?
- Bureau Chief Cubitoso: it could also have the "opposite effect"
- Agent Dwight Harris: his "problems" really become her "problems"
- Bureau Chief Cubitoso: if they have kids, that's even more "pressure", the Delettas never had kids
- Agent Deborah Ciccerone: I wouldn't count on children: she's had some "issues", female trouble
- Agent Dwight Harris: maybe Darwin was right? Nature really does "weed out" the nimrods
- Bureau Chief Cubitoso: so, what'd we do people? Yay or nay? Support them or discourage them?
- Assemblyman Zellman: you remember that time in Atlantic City? You brought your old girlfriend?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: yeah, the cystic fibrosis fundraiser
- Assemblyman Zellman: this is awkward, Irina and I are seeing each other
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: what? Your fuckin kidding me
- Assemblyman Zellman: I met her that night at the fundraiser, I gave her my card: she was having some problem with the landlord. She called me months later when you two broke it off and one thing led to another
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: alright, alright, take it easy, it's "ancient history"
- Assemblyman Zellman: still, I've been meaning to tell you, I feel like I owe you an explanation
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: what am I? Her father? Your both adults, enjoy yourself
- Assemblyman Zellman: it's more than that: I care for her, very deeply, Roz and I are separated. "The heart wants what the heart wants" I guess
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [dismissively] the heart wants what the dick wants
- Maurice Tiffen: [after receiving their share of the profits from the HUD scam from Silvio, referring to their financial disagreement] Listen, I've been wanting to say this: no hard feelings, huh?
- Assemblyman Zellman: No, of course not
- Maurice Tiffen: You sure you're alright?
- Assemblyman Zellman: I'm fine
- Maurice Tiffen: You're just being... awfully quiet
- Assemblyman Zellman: I don't know, tired
- Assemblyman Zellman: [while they leave The Bada Bing strip club] You ever feel bad about any of this?
- Maurice Tiffen: What'd you mean?
- Assemblyman Zellman: When I think about when we started out...
- Maurice Tiffen: [amused, interrupts him] You know I used to think what I did made a difference: the anti-drug programs, the voter drives, but over the years, it's like "shoving shit against the tide", you know that?
- Assemblyman Zellman: I guess
- Maurice Tiffen: Yeah, you cut corners but you help out: do the best you can. Hey, if it ain't us, it's gonna be somebody else. Really, I mean, what're we supposed to be? The only "honest men?"
- Assemblyman Zellman: We were gonna lead a "revolution"
- Maurice Tiffen: [amused] Revolution? The revolution got sold
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [Hands him a wooden box] for you
- Brian Cammarata: What's this?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [Jokingly] a music box
- Brian Cammarata: [after opening the box, surprised by the expensive watch as a gift] holy shit a Patek?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Yeah, me and Ralph got lucky in a new real estate investment
- Brian Cammarata: [Surprised] you actually did it?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [Nods, smiles]
- Brian Cammarata: Tony, I was only speculating I never meant for you to...
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [Interrupts him, reassures him] relax, your name will never come up
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [Introducing Paulie to Brian at Paulie's welcome back from prison party at the Bada Bing strip club] say hello to Brian Cammarata, Carm's cousin, the financial guy
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: How you doing kid?
- Brian Cammarata: [Jokingly] so, just back from "college" huh?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Let me talk to Paulie for a sec ok?
- Brian Cammarata: Nice meeting you
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: So, how you doing? You ok?
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Just thank God that piece of shit from Youngstown "copped" to that gun. I could've been wearing an orange jumpsuit until I'm ninety
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [Handing him an envelope full of money] well, your back home now. That's the important thing. Here, to get back on your feet
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Thanks T, not that I don't appreciate it but I could've used a boost while I was gone too. Fuckin bills. Then there's ma with the private home care. You know she almost lost her spot at Green Grove? An extra 5g's to hold her place
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Paulie, you've been back thirty seconds and you already got a fist full of cash, and not to mention the no-show jobs I got for you
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Your right Tone. I know
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Enjoy the party
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: I will
- Christopher Moltisanti: Good dinner baby
- Adriana La Cerva: Let's get married
- Christopher Moltisanti: [Amused] Whoa, where'd this come from?
- Adriana La Cerva: I don't know, it's going to be two years we're engaged. Let's just go down to City Hall
- Christopher Moltisanti: City Hall? What're we? Schnooks? You said you wanted a big wedding anyway
- Adriana La Cerva: I don't care about that shit. I just want you. It'll be cheaper anyway, we could buy a house. Plus, a wife can't testify against her husband
- Christopher Moltisanti: Can't have a club, stay out all night getting high when you have a kid
- Adriana La Cerva: What if we didn't have kids?
- Christopher Moltisanti: Fuck that, what's the point of being married?
- Adriana La Cerva: I mean what if we can't? If "I" can't? Would you still love me?
- Christopher Moltisanti: Of course I'd still love you, why?
- Adriana La Cerva: There's something you should know: a long time ago, years ago, I had a medical procedure, it was before we met. My uterus got pierced
- Christopher Moltisanti: Both of them?
- Adriana La Cerva: There's only one, that's ovaries
- Christopher Moltisanti: So, what does that mean? You can't get pregnant?
- Adriana La Cerva: My doctor said it might be hard, a friend of mine gave me the name of a specialist in Manhattan
- Christopher Moltisanti: [Suddenly furious, raising his voice] you knew you were damaged goods and never fuckin told me?
- Adriana La Cerva: How could you call me that?
- Christopher Moltisanti: Jesus fuckin Christ, how could you lie to me like that?
- Adriana La Cerva: I tried to tell you once. I wanted to. I was afraid you wouldn't propose
- Christopher Moltisanti: You don't get it Adriana. I don't have a son, the Moltisanti name ends: that's it
- Adriana La Cerva: We could adopt
- Christopher Moltisanti: Yeah that's great, some kid with "chinky" eyes called "Moltisanti", he'd get his ass kicked everyday
- Adriana La Cerva: You said you'd still love me
- Christopher Moltisanti: That doesn't mean I'd fuckin marry you
- Loan Officer: In order to claim marital privilege three conditions must be met: first, the communication must have been made during the course of the marriage, anything said before that is "fair game". Two, the communication must only include the spouses, the presence of any third party destroys the privilege and three, the communication can't be made reference to a crime
- Adriana La Cerva: [irritated, confused] my God, it's simple question: can they make me testify or not?
- Loan Officer: short answer? Probably, in organized crime, RICO, the feds will spend a fortune on their case. Believe me, if they want you to testify, their gonna find a way
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [while in downtown Newark] See that church? Your great grandfather helped build that almost eighty years ago: he was a stonemason, the old man, came over from Avellino with four dollars in his pocket
- Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano Jr.: yeah, but I saw in a book where you could get a hotel room for like ten cents a week back then. Room service must've been one or two cents a meal?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: room service? I'm talking history here, your family's history, Newark's history
- Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano Jr.: who gives a shit about Newark?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: I'm making a point: this neighborhood used to be beautiful, a hundred percent Italian. In the 1920's, most of them right off the boat, most Italians couldn't even find a church that wanted them. So, what did they do? Did they cry? Did they go to the government with their hand out? No, they took care of their own problems. They said "You don't want us in your church? Fine, we'll build our own, a better one." Look at all these buildings around here, most of them are falling down to the ground but that church is still standing, you know why?
- Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano Jr.: [confused] the bricks?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: because our people give a shit, that's why. Every Sunday, Italians from the old neighborhood drive miles to come here to pray: to keep this place alive
- Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano Jr.: so, how come we never do?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [ignores his question] buy land, because God isn't making any more of it
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [after AJ rolls his eyes] hey, this is advice I'm giving to you as your father
- Christopher Moltisanti: listen, I've been doing some thinking: the kid thing and all. I'm not happy that you lied to me but I think I want to try and deal with it
- Adriana La Cerva: [surprised] really?
- Christopher Moltisanti: [nods] I love you, I want you in my life
- Adriana La Cerva: [hugs him] I love you too
- Adriana La Cerva: [after they kiss, suspiciously] are you high?
- Christopher Moltisanti: you gonna start with that now?
- Adriana La Cerva: I just want to be sure that it's real
- Christopher Moltisanti: it is real, I love you
- Adriana La Cerva: when can we get married?
- Christopher Moltisanti: I was thinking on our anniversary: we can go to Vegas
- Assemblyman Zellman: [after Tony shows up at his home unexpectedly] hey, come on in. You know, it really would've been "better" if we met over at Denny's
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: what're you worried about? I was in the neighborhood
- Assemblyman Zellman: so, what's up? Can I get you something? Scotch, right?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [referring to repairing to the houses their buying for a scam] I sent some of my guys to start "gutting" the place: it turns out one of the houses is a crack den
- Assemblyman Zellman: so?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: what, so? We gotta get them outta there
- Assemblyman Zellman: [referring to Tony's crew] why don't your guys' just "rouse" them?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [sarcastically] oh, nice, a bunch of white guys setting off "caps" in the ghetto: that won't attract any attention at all
- Assemblyman Zellman: what'd you want me to do?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: assert some "influence", make some calls. Get the donut squad to "rouse" the shitbags
- Assemblyman Zellman: it's not that easy. When you're dealing with squatters' "rights" or anything to do with the homeless for that matter, it can get very tricky
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: I saw them myself: they're a bunch of fuckin crackheads
- Assemblyman Zellman: I understand, their "gumming" up the works. Try to see the "big picture", the HUD approval came through. In two weeks, we can be looking at a huge "windfall"
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: see, that's why you're a politician and not a business man. Maximum value" is the "big picture." There must be seven thousand dollars in copper pipe in there, if they haven't taken it out already
- Assemblyman Zellman: [confused] I still don't know what you expect me to do about it?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [referring to his share of the profits] ok, alright. We'll take the 7k out of your end?
- Assemblyman Zellman: well no...
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [pats him on the cheek before leaving, referring to Zellman's alma mater, implying he should be intelligent enough to think of a solution] come on, University of Michigan, fuckin figure it out
- Assemblyman Zellman: [while in Maurice's den] The fact is, these people are criminals: their drug addicts and dealers who've been occupying that house illegally
- Maurice Tiffen: [referring to Dr. Ira Freid] What about the police? Get the seller, what's his name? The urologist? Get him to make the call
- Assemblyman Zellman: [irritated] Their crack addicts: they'll be back in two hours
- Maurice Tiffen: [referring to the real estate scam their involved in with Tony and Ralphie] The deal was for me to effectuate the purchase of the houses: period
- Assemblyman Zellman: I realize that
- Maurice Tiffen: Nobody mentioned anything about violence, we renounced it, remember?
- Assemblyman Zellman: I'm in a "bind" here
- Maurice Tiffen: I appreciate that, but what'd you expect me to do?
- Assemblyman Zellman: Get some of your "people" to handle it
- Maurice Tiffen: [confused] what "people"?
- Assemblyman Zellman: Well, we can't send whites in there: people of color. You run a youth outreach program, don't you?
- Maurice Tiffen: I'm on the board
- Assemblyman Zellman: Fine, I understand that. How about you take the seven thousand this is costing, out of your end, then?
- Maurice Tiffen: Oh, come on, you know what I pay in child support to my first wife? The chances I'm taking with this thing, I'm putting it all on the line if I get caught
- Assemblyman Zellman: So, you get some kids, gangbangers, whatever: you throw them some money. When you think about it, from a policing standpoint, it's just one group of recidivists beating on another
- Maurice Tiffen: Stop trying to justify it, it's about the seven grand
- Assemblyman Zellman: [before putting his coat and leaving] Let me tell you something else, guys like Tony, you don't fool around with these people
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: My son, I don't know what he understands. I'm trying to talk to him about the immigrants: His talking about room service
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: We need to talk about your recent behavior in here. Your angry tirade
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: You want to talk about that now? That was weeks ago
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: It was my judgement at the time, you were in crisis about Gloria's suicide
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Didn't you get the flowers I sent?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Your behavior was unacceptable: you cannot have these outbursts and expect to redeem yourself with a bouquet
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: I'm sorry, alright?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: It's good that your sorry but no, it's not alright. We've been down this road before
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: I know, I know
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: The fact that your angry is fine. It's ok to talk about your anger but when it manifests itself in physicality, it becomes unacceptable
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Hey, I never laid a finger on you
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: You "loomed", you threw my tissue holder
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Yeah, and I picked that up. I was very upset: you lied to me
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: I did not lie to you
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: You withheld information about a very sensitive subject. Alright, look, I know what I did was wrong, ok? And you may not believe this but I did exercise impulsive control and I have been controlling my anger: this thing with my son, I went to show him the old neighborhood and we got harassed by these two crackheads. One of them had a gun and the other one threw a bottle at my car. Now, it may not sound like much, but I let it go, I drove away
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: [leans forward] Well, I ask in the future, you extend to me the same courtesy as you would to a crack addict
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Alright, as long as we're being truthful here, you know opening up? I've been holding a grudge against you for recommending that Wendy Klober, the half assed adolescent shrink, that stupid bitch almost sent my daughter to Barcelona
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [when Melfi sighs, after he realizes there's no comparison] Your right, it's no excuse
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: [while in a restaurant, referring to his dessert] How's the Mousse?
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [referring to his time in jail] Fuckin great, I'll tell ya, the shit you miss while your inside, there was a week where I would've killed for some Good & Plenty's
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: You should've told me, I would've sent you some
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: I know you would. See? That's the thing though, what I need is not your problem
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: What'd you mean?
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Fuckin Tony, four months I'm up there like I'm The Man in the Iron Mask: not one visit, not one phone call
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: The guy didn't reach out at all?
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: No, when do I ever complain?
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: Look, the guy's a boss. You visit a guy in the can these days, you know the Feds, you give someone the time of day, it's a "criminal conspiracy"
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: So, he can't phone? You fuckin did. Even before I left, he was treating me like the ugly girl at the dance. I'm "suckin wind" and his rollin in it with that "Christ killer"
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: Hesh?
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Fuckin Zellman, fuckin real estate scam
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: Frelinghuysen Avenue "thing", we had some words, Tony made it right
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: It's a different one now. I'm not sure what it is: all I know is fuckin Ralph is going around bragging how much their making. Listen, I know we talk sometimes, I tell you my problems, you tell me yours, and I have the highest regards for Carmine
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: He thinks the world of you also
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Even still, this shit don't leave the table right?
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: I'm hurt you even had to ask
- Bureau Chief Cubitoso: [after Ira signs the document] Congratulations you are now on the force.
- Dr. Ira Freid: Eat my dust, Donald Trump.
- Assemblyman Zellman: [while in the sauna room] summer of sixty-seven we're both home on break. I was interning at the state legislature, what were you doing?
- Maurice Tiffen: East Newark Co-op
- Assemblyman Zellman: Right but come July
- Tony Soprano: The Newark riots
- Ralph Cifaretto: What a fuckin summer that was
- Assemblyman Zellman: Later that year Maurice and I have to organize one of the first all black voting drives
- Tony Soprano: Maurice, were you around for Anthony Imperiale? The "white knight"?
- Maurice Tiffen: Around? Who do you think he was fighting against?
- Assemblyman Zellman: Italian pride "keep Newark white"
- Maurice Tiffen: Spying Klansman: some of those boys
- Ralph Cifaretto: So, this group you got now, the Urban Housing League, what's the story there?
- Maurice Tiffen: Like many non-profits, we've fallen on hard times. Republican administration plus proliferation of new charities post 9/11
- Tony Soprano: Sounds like you three got a lot to talk about. I'm going to hit the showers. Maurice: nice meeting ya
- Maurice Tiffen: Same here
- Assemblyman Zellman: I took the liberty of filling in Maurice on the broad strokes
- Ralph Cifaretto: Ok we got a guy Dr. Fried, his an Urologist. We're going to give him half a million of our money, have him grab these four houses on Garside Street for a hundred and twenty-five a piece
- Maurice Tiffen: The old first ward
- Ralph Cifaretto: Once we own the houses we got an appraiser who'll "play ball" and his going to appraise them in the three hundred thousand dollar range. What you do Maurice is you take the phony appraisals to HUD tell them the Urban Housing League will buy these shit holes and convert them into low cost housing for working families
- Ralph Cifaretto: Once HUD guarantees the mortgage app you take it to the bank, they cut a check and we work it up nice
- Maurice Tiffen: At which I assume my organization fails to make the mortgage payments
- Assemblyman Zellman: Unforeseen construction delays and repeated vandalism forced the project into disillusion. We all walk away from the houses
- Ralph Cifaretto: Your cut will be in the ten percent of the profit range
- Assemblyman Zellman: My office will write a letter in strong support of your application
- Maurice Tiffen: Sounds about right
- Ralph Cifaretto: So is there any investment advice for an ambitious young man like myself
- Brian Cammarata: "Buy land I guess because God ain't making any more of it", that's what Will Rogers said
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: It's true, my house is worth nearly triple of what I paid
- Ralph Cifaretto: Location's the key right? Otherwise you get stuck with shit
- Brian Cammarata: Sometimes there's money in shit
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: How'd you mean?
- Brian Cammarata: Nothing, I don't know
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: We're just talking here come on
- Brian Cammarata: I don't know. Some guy I went to school with, this black guy. We worked for one summer for this not-for-profit housing group. He told me about some scam this minister was involved in up in Harlem
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: I read about this: fake mortgage loans or something right?
- Brian Cammarata: Actually, you ever hear of HUD?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Housing Development yeah
- Brian Cammarata: HUD was set up to help minorities and low income families become home owners
- Ralph Cifaretto: There are more programs for these dead beats I swear to Christ
- Brian Cammarata: As long as the Fed is guaranteeing the home mortgage the banks figure "what the hell?" They'll loan the money. You get a front man to buy houses in a crummy neighborhood. I'm talking real shit boxes that are worth like a hundred grand a piece. Next, you tie up with some not-for-profit organization who goes to HUD and say they intend to buy these houses from your stooge
