"The Sopranos: Made in America (#6.21)" (2007)

Patrick Parisi: [to Paulie] Ay, we were discussing Dreamgirls. You see it?
Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr.: You people are fucked. You're living in a dream. And you still sit here talking about the fucking Oscars? "What rough beast slouches toward Bethlehem to be born?"
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Huh?
Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr.: Yeets.
Meadow Soprano: A.J...
Anthony Maffei: Yeats?
Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr.: The world... Don't you see it? I mean, Bush let Al-Qaeda escape...
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Oh!
Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr.: ...in the mountains? Then he has us invade some other country?
Jason Gervasi: Let's join up, go kill some fuckin' terrorists.
Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr.: It's more noble than watching these jack-off fantasies on TV of how we're kickin' their ass!

Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: "In the midst of death, we are in life", huh? Or is it the other way around?
Meadow Soprano: I think it's the other way around.
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Either version, you're halfway up the ass.

Tony Soprano: You said you wanted to be a lawyer for black people.
Meadow Soprano: Oh, that's all I said? Really? What I said was "The state can crush the individual."
Tony Soprano: New Jersey?
Meadow Soprano: The government. Specifically, the federal government.
Tony Soprano: And what about little babies? They face, uh, meningitis.
Meadow Soprano: You know what really turned me? Seeing the way Italians are treated. It's like Mom says. And if we can have our rights trampled like that, imagine what it's like for recent arrivals.
Tony Soprano: Well...
Meadow Soprano: If I hadn't seen you dragged away all those times by the FBI, then I'd probably be a boring suburban doctor.

"The Sopranos: College (#1.5)" (1999)

Meadow Soprano: Are you in the Mafia?
Tony Soprano: Am I in the what?
Meadow Soprano: Whatever you want to call it. Organized crime.
Tony Soprano: That's total crap, who told you that?
Meadow Soprano: Dad, I've lived in the house all my life. I've seen the police come with warrants. I've seen you going out at three in the morning.
Tony Soprano: So you never seen Doc Cusamano going out at three in the morning on a call?
Meadow Soprano: Did the Cusamano kids ever find $50,000 in krugerrandts and a .45 automatic while they were hunting for Easter eggs?
Tony Soprano: I'm in the waste management business. Everybody immediately assumes you're mobbed up. It's a stereotype. And it's offensive. And you're the last person I would want to perpetuate it... There is no Mafia.
Meadow Soprano: Fine.
Tony Soprano: Alright look, Mead, you're a grown woman, almost. Some of my money comes from illegal gambling and whatnot. How does that make you feel?
Meadow Soprano: At least you don't keep denying it, like Mom. Kids in school think it's actually kinda neat.
Tony Soprano: They seen "The Godfather", right?
Meadow Soprano: Not really. "Casino" we like, Sharon Stone, the 70's clothes, pills...
Tony Soprano: I'm not asking about those bums. I'm asking about you.
Meadow Soprano: Sometimes I wish you were like other dads. But then, like... Mr. Scangarelo for example? An advertising executive for big tobacco. Or lawyers? So many dads are full of shit.
Tony Soprano: Oh, and I'm not.
Meadow Soprano: You finally told the truth about this.
Tony Soprano: Look, Mead, part of my income comes from legitimate businesses, stock market...
Meadow Soprano: Look, Dad, please, okay? Don't start mealy-mouthing.

Tony Soprano: There was a time, Mead, when the Italian people didn't have a lot of options.
Meadow Soprano: You mean like Mario Cuomo?
[Tony stares at her]
Meadow Soprano: Sorry.
Tony Soprano: You know I put food on the table. My father was in it. My uncle was in it. Maybe I was too lazy to think for myself. To consider myself... A rebel. Maybe being a rebel in my family would have been selling patio furniture on route 22.

"The Sopranos: Nobody Knows Anything (#1.11)" (1999)

Meadow Soprano: This country's light-years behind the rest of the world. Most civilized countries have legalized prostitution.
Tony Soprano: Don't you got somewhere to be?
Meadow Soprano: I mean, it's a joke. Look what they're putting the President through.
Carmela Soprano: He deserved what he got.
Anthony 'A.J.' Soprano, Jr.: He got Monica Kaczynski and the broad with the long nose.
Meadow Soprano: I just don't think sex should be a punishable offense.
Tony Soprano: You know honey, that's where I agree with you. I don't think sex should be a punishable offense either. But I do think talking about sex at the breakfast table is a punishable offense. So no more sex talk, OK?
Meadow Soprano: It's the 90s. Parents are supposed to discuss sex with their children.
Tony Soprano: Yeah, but that's where you're wrong. You see out there it's the 1990s but in this house it's 1954.
[points to the window]
Tony Soprano: 1990s.
[points to the floor]
Tony Soprano: 1954. So now and forever, I don't want to hear any more sex talk, OK?

[Meadow reproves her cousin for making careless accusatory comments about how Jackie Jr. died]
Meadow Soprano: Our dads are in the garbage business, and it's always good for a laugh. And, yeah, they brush up against organized crime. But, do you think they control every slime ball and illegal gun in like a hundred communities? The fact that you could even say this in front of an outsider is amazing to me!
