Tony Soprano : [Driving in car] So what's goin' on with you?
A.J. Soprano : Nothin'.
Tony Soprano : Nothin. You know, that 'No God' shit. That upsets your mother very much.
A.J. Soprano : It's not 'No God'. It's 'God is dead.'
Tony Soprano : Who said that?
A.J. Soprano : [Misspeaks] Nitch. He's a 19th century philosopher from Germany. Anyway, that's why I'm not getting confirmed.
Tony Soprano : Enough with that shit, alright? Your confirmation's comin' up this weekend and you ARE gettin' confirmed!
A.J. Soprano : That sucks my nut!
Tony Soprano : [Lightly slaps AJ with the back of his hand] Ay! You got a lotta balls, you know that? You go to Catholic school and your mother wants it!
A.J. Soprano : Yeah, what does she know?
Tony Soprano : She knows that even if God IS dead, you're still gonna kiss his ass!

A.J. Soprano : Do you ever think like why were we born?
Meadow Soprano : Madame de Staël said "In life, one must choose between boredom and suffering."
Tony Soprano : [to Meadow] Go to your room
A.J. Soprano : No, I'm serious why were we born?

Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : [instructing his son how to hit baseballs] Elbow up Matt, keep it straight

Matt Bonpensiero : Come on AJ, it's fun
A.J. Soprano : Yeah, I just don't feel like it
Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : Sometimes you gotta do things you don't want to
A.J. Soprano : Why?
Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : Because your parents said so and it's part of your tradition
A.J. Soprano : baseball's not part of my tradition
Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : no, it ain't, your dad in high school was almost all county left field, but I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about your confirmation
A.J. Soprano : I don't want to get confirmed
Matt Bonpensiero : [while exiting the batting cage] Why not?
Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : It don't matter why not. If you're looking for a purpose in life, doing what's right is a purpose
A.J. Soprano : yeah, that's not what Nitch says
Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : who?
Matt Bonpensiero : [correcting AJ's pronunciation of the surname of the German philosopher] Nietzsche. Let me tell you something: Nietzsche wound up talking to his horse and I know what you're going to tell me, Chaucer right? Well, Chaucer was a fuckin fraud. He copied off Husserl and Heidegger. Hey, you should start at the beginning: take a look at Kierkegaard

Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : Yeah, and she was in the hospital and your father, he's the only one, he came with me every day: he sat by the bed, he looked at her drawings, he watched her for me when I had to use the john or get something to eat. I was down there in line for a hamburger when she passed away
A.J. Soprano : she died huh?
Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : Yeah
A.J. Soprano : You know what really pisses me off about my dad? He did all these great things... then, before he was my dad. Now his just an asshole
