• Vito Spatafore : [Vito has emerged from hiding after being outed. He approaches Tony in the mall]  Tony. Hey

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : What the fuck?

  Vito Spatafore : My brother's over there.

  [Vito points to a man standing in the distance] 

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : What's that supposed to mean?

  Vito Spatafore : Nothing. He's just there, that's all.

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You sandbag me? I'll cut your fucking throat open.

  Vito Spatafore : I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do. I want back in. Can I sit?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : No, you can't sit.

  Vito Spatafore : It's complicated. I was working things out.

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I'm sure it gets complicated. When you're taking it up your fag ass.

  Vito Spatafore : I'm not a fag. I never was

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Excuse me?

  Vito Spatafore : It was the medication I was on. For my blood pressure. It fucked with my head, but I'm over that now. I could probably get a letter from my doctor

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : A note from your doctor saying you don't like to suck cock?

• A.J. Soprano : [Talking privately in their garage]  What now?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Hands AJ a business card]  Tomorrow 7am you go to this address and for a Mr. Gaveralo, I just got off the phone with him

  A.J. Soprano : Seven in the morning? For what?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You'll be working construction

  A.J. Soprano : What?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Ferrying cement in a wheel barrow

  A.J. Soprano : So it's outdoors?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Yeah

  A.J. Soprano : But it's winter time

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You got a lot of those hooded sweatshirts like those moulinyans wear you watch on MTV you can double up

  A.J. Soprano : Come on this is bullshit

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Tony puts his hand on AJ's shoulder and pulls face closer to his face]  Every penny you make you keep, we won't charge you any rent and believe me the pay's good it's a union job, I just want to see you do good your my son and I love you

  A.J. Soprano : I'm going to have to leave your friend in a lurch when I go back to school

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : That's ok he deals with that all the time

  A.J. Soprano : I just assume to keep searching online

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I'm sure you would, but if you're not at that site tomorrow morning,

  [AJ nods dismissively] 

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I'm going to take away your car and then I'm going to take away your clothes I'm going to take away your room and then I'm going to take away your mother's cooking and pretty soon you'll be out in the fucking street,

  A.J. Soprano : [Tony uses a football helmet and breaks the wind shield on AJ's SUV]  What the hell are you doing?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : It might get a little drafty driving down there tomorrow but I will have this fucking thing towed out of here and grounded up into fuckin Brillo Pads. I mean look at it, you don't take care of it

  [Tony puts his hand back on AJ's shoulder] 

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Don't put me to the test

• Carmela Soprano : [to AJ]  So every time I asked you "how was work?" you say "fine", you were having your own private little joke on me.

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Tony enters the room]  what's going on?

  Carmela Soprano : I went to Blockbuster to rent Cinderella Man, but guess what?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Is it still a classic?

  Carmela Soprano : I found out our son, the liar, was fired three weeks ago

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : From Blockbuster? They have the worst managers over there.

  Carmela Soprano : He was taking promotional items and selling them, stand ups.

  A.J. Soprano : Standees, this whole thing is bullshit, most of that stuff gets thrown out anyway.

  Carmela Soprano : The store's policy was very clear

  A.J. Soprano : Yeah, well maybe I care about the environment did that ever occur to you? "'Wallace and Gromit" that weighed like fifty pounds, how many trees gave their lives for that? It just goes to the dump.

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Can I come to a peaceful house one God damn night?

  A.J. Soprano : You always tell me to think like a business man, yet every time I do there's something wrong, I was making money throwing parties in high school that was no good.

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : You know what I think, all those days you call in sick, you show up late, you deserve to get canned

  Carmela Soprano : The worst part is: you don't even give a shit

  A.J. Soprano : I should give a shit about Blockbuster? I can't live on what they pay me anyway.

  Carmela Soprano : Why not? You live at home, we feed you.

  A.J. Soprano : You have a social life but I can't, you have any idea what it costs at a descent club in New York? It's five hundred dollars for a bottle of Cristal, and it's a two bottle minimum.

  Carmela Soprano : You spend a thousand dollars a night on champagne?

  A.J. Soprano : [Lying]  no, not every night, barely ever

• Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Can't I come home to a peaceful house one goddamn night?

• Bobby 'Bacala' Baccalieri : [after entering the room]  Vito, he was found beat to death in a motel near Fort Lee, my cop up there told me. Plus the homicide detectives said he had a pool cue rammed up his ass

  Christopher Moltisanti : [Jokingly]  Lovers' quarrel, maybe

  Tony Soprano : Look, we all know who did it

  Christopher Moltisanti : Phil: fuckin balls on that prick, what'd I always say about him?

  Carlo Gervasi : [after entering the room and noticing the expression on everyone's face]  I see you've heard the news, it must've been Phil right?

  Silvio Dante : [comparing him to the fictional reporter that appeared in the comic books]  Jimmy Olsen over here

  Carlo Gervasi : I know I was out of line but still you kind of have to admire the guy. It's not all talk with him. I'm just saying he saved us all a lot of trouble right?

  Tony Soprano : It can't have been an easy decision: killing a made guy. Naturally Phil won't brag about it because he can't. Phil's in a touch situation. His family, honor was stained. If I got to Vito first that result would've been the same

  Patsy Parisi : I wish I borrowed money from Vito

• Carmela Soprano : [before turning on the light]  I can't sleep

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [after being woken up by her]  Somebody call?

  Carmela Soprano : [referring to AJ]  It's not only his a complete stranger to the "truth", his got this "dead streak" in him: It chills me to the bone

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Fuckin spoiled that's all, we gave him too much

  Carmela Soprano : He went to school with a lot of privileged kids, most of are off in ivy league universities now, doing very well. No, this "something" in him, deep down it's like this big "fuck you" to everything

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I don't know what that's about?

  Carmela Soprano : You remember the whole "God is dead" business? The day of his confirmation?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Maybe he'll surprise us?

  Carmela Soprano : [sarcastically]  Aren't you the "sunny optimist", when you wanna go to sleep?

• Silvio Dante : [referring to Phil's responsibility behind Vito's death]  People are gonna expect a "response"

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : This is what I was taking about

  Silvio Dante : We "hit" one of Phil's guys?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [referring to the nickname of mob boss Joseph Bonanno]  "Joe Bananas" went after Carlo Gambino, "made" guys got killed: the war went seven years. How many times I gotta say this? "When guys are on mattresses, they're not out earning"

  Silvio Dante : [referring to what they should do about their response]  So... what?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [after thinking it over]  All Phil cares about is fuckin money: his got a wireroom in Sheepshead Bay, right? Our guys have seen it?

  Silvio Dante : Yeah

• Vito Spatafore : [to Tony]  First off, I'd pay my way back in. I got two hundred grand that goes directly to you personally, no one needs to know. Long term: I know construction is out, I got contacts in Atlantic City, with your support I can set myself up there I'd be close, but not too close.

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Ignores him and gets up to leave] 

• Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Referring to Vito's proposal to Tony by rejoining the crime family and earn money by distributing narcotics in Atlantic City]  Vito, Atlantic City, forget it

  Silvio Dante : Why the change up?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I can't keep fighting Phil on this. Our businesses are all entwined. You've got to pick your battles. You want your no-show jobs? Vito's got to go

  Silvio Dante : It's the right move T

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : All those weeks in the hospital, surgeries, constant pain, and for what? Come out here and get shadowed with something like this?

  Silvio Dante : I'm sorry

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : If Vito wanted to pursue that lifestyle, he should've done so quietly

  Silvio Dante : He was, wasn't he? Anyone in particular you want to give this to?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Well, Carlo had the biggest problem with it, let him handle it. It's Vito's own fault, why couldn't he stay the fuck where he was?

  Silvio Dante : Don't beat yourself up about this

• Dr. Jennifer Melfi : So, all the women in your house are gone. How do you feel about Carmella taking a trip without you?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Do we really have to fuckin talk about this?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Of course not. Before we end, is there anything you'd like to discuss?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Remains silent] 

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : OK

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : How about the fact that I hate my son? I come home and his sitting in front of the computer in his fuckin underwear. Wasting his time in some chit chat room going back and forth like some other fuckin jerk off giggling like a school girl. Fuckin smash his fuckin face in. My son, what'd you think about that?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Anthony, I think your anger towards AJ has been building up for some time, we have to deal with this

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : All I know is it's a good thing my father's not alive because let me tell you he'd find this fuckin hilarious

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Find what hilarious?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : The kind of son I produced

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You mean because Anthony doesn't conform to what your father's idea of what a man should be?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : His, mine, or anybody's. Let me tell you if Carmella let me kick AJ's ass like my father kicked my ass, he might've grown up with some balls

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Like you?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Yeah like me

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : He might've also grown up taking out his anger and his father's brutality towards him on others. He might've grown up with a desperate need to dominate and control. Anthony we've been "dancing" around this for years: how you live, what is it you want from your life?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I couldn't even hit him if I wanted to. His so fuckin little, his Carmella's side of the family, they're small people. Her father, you could knock him over with a fuckin feather

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Ok but I have to point out: what you resent Carmella doing for AJ, protecting him from his father, is the very thing you had often wished your mother had done for you

• Phil Leotardo : Highland project: your "slice" of no-shows, I spoke to the Union, we can't make five "work" no more, throwbacks. Not to mention, my end's way down

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : now more than ever, I got captains looking to me to "deliver" them the no-show jobs on the account of the medical insurance

  Silvio Dante : health care costs these days

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : bitch all you want about John, he understood that ours was a "mutually beneficial situation"

  Phil Leotardo : John's folding fuckin laundry in Danbury: it's on my shoulders to take care of the family, even though his boss just in "name", and I made a decision and with all due respect... it's final

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [to Sil]  see, this is what I get?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [to Phil]  I never should've let you "slide" on the vitamins

  Phil Leotardo : again, with the vitamins: you told me there were fifteen hundred cases of Centrum on that truck. When your nephew delivered it, there were cartons ripped open, pills all over the fuckin floor, anybody got "shorted"? It was "yours truly", but you know what?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [after Phil takes out money]  alright, alright, put it back in your pocket but I gotta get some "relief" on this "situation"

• Christopher Moltisanti : [referring to Vito]  he was fuckin' stalking you,

  Silvio Dante : That's the thing with the gays, still living the closet makes them devious

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [points to the television of Mickey Rooney in the movie Strike Up the Band]  Speaking of crystal meth, look at this WYO

  Silvio Dante : say what you will about Richie Aprile, when he found out his son was gay, he did the right thing... he disowned him

  Christopher Moltisanti : [before leaving]  I got an AA meeting

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : [sarcastically, referring to the birthname of Charles Lucky Luciano, sarcastically]  Alcohol fuckin' Anonymous now too, Salvatore Lucania must be looking down on all of us with great pride

  Silvio Dante : There's gonna be a lot of popular sentiment to get rid of Vito, Phil alone

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Fuck Phil, you know what that's about? His got to polish his reputation as a tough prick, so he can make boss. Vito in Atlantic City, his out there, his not part of us, and we get you know a trinkle of cash coming in each month

• Phil Leotardo : [meeting privately, referring to killing Vito, and the derogatory term for homosexuals]  you were going to "take care" of that fuckin Finook

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [irritated]  oh, for Christ's sake, Vito, again? What the fuck is wrong with you?

  Phil Leotardo : his in town, isn't he? I was over at Marie's the other night, she played the "innocent" but I could tell she's seen him

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [referring to the character played by Johnny Carson as host of The Tonight Show]  your fuckin Carnac the Great" now too, huh?

  Phil Leotardo : I gotta tell you, if Vito was here, and you knew about it...

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [ignores him and leaves]  fuck this

• Carmela Soprano : I need to talk to you, remember about that trip to Paris, I won at the silent auction at the feast?

  Carmela Soprano : [after he nods]  well, the date is here and I think I would like to go

  Carmela Soprano : [irritated when Tony doesn't respond]  you don't remember the first God damn thing about this do you? We stood right here talking about it for fifteen minutes

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I know, you won a trip to Paris

  Carmela Soprano : why do you have to lie?

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I'm not, you're always saying I'm lying, why Paris?

  Carmela Soprano : well, it is one of the great cities of the world

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [referring to slang stereotype of French people because they eat the Amphibian]  the "frogs" hate us: go to Italy

  Carmela Soprano : they weren't auctioning a trip to Italy. It's actually a good deal: it's a week for two for five thousand dollars

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : how's the euro doing?

  Carmela Soprano : I don't know, I had three years of high school French

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I can't get away for a week

  Carmela Soprano : I could go with Roe, we've talking about taking a trip together for years ever since our Rome thing went belly-up

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [referring to their son constantly misbehaving]  with Anthony walking through a plate glass door?

  Carmela Soprano : I could really use a vacation now, with Meadow leaving: my spec house, the thought of tearing it down and having to start over makes me nauseous

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : yeah

  Carmela Soprano : plus, I just don't know what to do anymore

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [after thinking it over]  you know what? You should go: you deserve it

  Carmela Soprano : it'd be good for you too, do whatever boys do on their own

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : whatever, I said go, we'll be fine

  Carmela Soprano : [after kissing him on the cheek]  I'm so excited, I'm gonna call Roe
