  Richie Aprile : Fuckin' Dick Barone!

  Tony Soprano : Well, as long as the two of you are happy!

• David Scatino : [after woken up by Tony unzipping the camping tent David was sleeping in inside his sports goods store]  Tony, what're you doing here?

  Tony Soprano : I was going to ask you the same fuckin question

  David Scatino : It's my store

  Tony Soprano : [after looking at the mess, sarcastically]  congratulations, it's a fuckin disaster

  David Scatino : Hey, some of those airline tickets came in, you want me to split them with Richie?

  Tony Soprano : They're mine, it's my idea. This is where you sleep?

  David Scatino : Yeah, sometimes. It's easier than going home

  Tony Soprano : [while sitting down on a wooden bench near David's tent]  I know what you mean. I remember when you transferred in the tenth grade from Baden-Baden, fuckin army brat

  David Scatino : Hey, you remember when those Guidos from Paterson caught you at Garret Mountain and had you barricaded in your old man's car? I whipped that rocket and hit that guy in the eye?

  Tony Soprano : Don't reminisce on me

  David Scatino : You told me not to get into the game, why'd you let me do it?

  Tony Soprano : Well, I knew you had this business here Davey, it's my nature "frog on a scorpion" you know? Besides if you would've won I'd be the one crying the blues right?

  David Scatino : What's the end?

  Tony Soprano : The end? Declaring bankruptcy

  Tony Soprano : [after David begins crying]  hey, your not the first guy to get "busted out."This is how a guy like me makes a living: this is my bread and butter. When this is over your free to go. You can go wherever you want

• Dr. Jennifer Melfi : So, this "person", this witness changed his or her mind?

  Tony Soprano : I don't know what happened

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : You don't?

  Tony Soprano : What's that suppose to mean?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [Shrugs] 

  Tony Soprano : You know when I was in Italy, I met someone that reminded me of you. A woman and it's not what you think

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Like me in what way?

  Tony Soprano : Smart, you know what she said to me?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : What did she say?

  Tony Soprano : She told me I'm my own worst enemy

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : That's kind of a cliche isn't it?

  Tony Soprano : Well, you had to be there, she's one of them "witchy" broads, not like a psychic but...

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I didn't mean to sound disparaging

  Tony Soprano : That's some ancient culture over there, they believe all this weird shit like sibyl

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Sibyls?

  Tony Soprano : Like I said, you had to be there, ok so I wanted to fuck her but she's right, what she said? I mean I bring all this on myself, I mean that's what you keep telling me

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Yes I suppose it is, at root, the question is, how do you stop?

  Tony Soprano : You know what?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : What?

  Tony Soprano : [Before getting up to leave]  I dodged a very big bullet, and I'm feeling very fuckin good about it so I don't need anymore psychiatry today

• Tony Soprano : [after entering his office holding a bag and placing it on his desk]  Got a safe?

  Neil Mink : Yeah, why?

  Neil Mink : [after opening it and seeing it's filled with cash, referring to his attorney fees]  You want to pay in advance?

  Tony Soprano : There's a little more than 400k in there. I want you to hold it for me. This goes down, I'm out of this area code, my wife's gonna come in here once a week for an allowance. You don't ask her any questions, never, ever, refuse her. If she wants it all... you give it to her. She won't do that, Carmela's smarter than that

  Neil Mink : And if your gone longer than the money lasts?

  Tony Soprano : Don't worry, you won't have to go into your own kick. This witness can't remain nameless forever

  Neil Mink : [as Tony leaves]  I didn't hear that

• Tony Soprano : [Referring to how his children socialize with their friends]  My girl did the same thing, at his age, always in a group, what's that about?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : What's it about for you?

  Tony Soprano : In my day a boy and a girl went on a date and your father hoped you wouldn't get too far or else you'd get the girl knocked up and her parents would come over and break your legs

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I don't think it's about him going to the mall with a group that bothered you, it was that he wanted to go to mall instead of the movies with you

  Tony Soprano : Well, his getting to that age where his got a life of his own

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : One that doesn't include you

  Tony Soprano : It was always "we'll do this", "we're going to do that..."

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Not so fast I've heard you many times about being with your son

  Tony Soprano : Yeah well that's over now... gone... done

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Its bitter sweet this period, you're glad they're growing up but you're sad to lose them

  Tony Soprano : [Intentionally changing the subject]  I could be going away, for a very long time for something I didn't do

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [Remains silent] 

  Tony Soprano : [Offended by her not showing any emotions, sarcastically]  how about "gee that's too bad Anthony" or "what a shame Tony"

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : We can't go into specifics on this

  Tony Soprano : Well, here's something "specific", I didn't do anything wrong, we're not suppose to talk about it. I could be going to the can for the rest of my life and I'm not supposed to discuss it with my psychiatrist? What the fuck are you for anyway?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : How does that make you feel? The idea that you might be sent to prison

  Tony Soprano : I've just got to stay around a little while for the kids, especially my boy. Once his out of the house the government can do whatever the fuck they want to do, give me life, give me the chair, whatever they want

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : I've never seen you like this

  Tony Soprano : Like what?

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : Scared

  Tony Soprano : [Amused]  you know I wouldn't use that word but sometimes I feel, I don't know, you mother fuckers, you know I don't fuckin deserve this

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [Intentionally changing the subject]  how's your medication?

  Tony Soprano : [Shifting in his seat] 

  Dr. Jennifer Melfi : [Sensing he feels uncomfortable]  Maybe we should stop

• Tony Soprano : [Increasing Scatino's sporting goods store's debt by buying products, selling them, and not paying back the vendors]  a lot of fuckin work to move some picnic coolers

  Richie Aprile : Coolers are scissors, everybody wants one but have nobody has a fuckin idea how much they cost. You have a Nigerian sell these on the streets for two or three bucks a piece, who's not going to say "fuck it, give me one"

  Tony Soprano : Davey, how we doing with the books of airline tickets?

  David Scatino : You want to raise a red flag with the travel agency? A sporting goods store that charges airline tickets in bulk?

  Tony Soprano : You say it's a promotional device" you know "customer of the year", "salesman on the month", that kind of thing, don't worry about it. You put it all on different lines of credit

  David Scatino : Yeah but all of sudden I'm ordering all this weird shit. Picnic coolers, Ramosa water. When is one of these vendors realizes I'm never going to pay them and call the cops?

  Richie Aprile : When your fuckin credit runs out "Diamond Jim", until then get on the fuckin horn and order unless your ready to pay the principle you owe us?

• Richie Aprile : [while in a mall]  thanks for meeting me

  Tony Soprano : no problem, I went over to Brookstone and got myself a scale, what'd you want to talk to me about?

  Richie Aprile : fuckin Dick Barone

  Tony Soprano : as long as the two of you are happy

  Richie Aprile : I'm in no mood... freakin garbage business, I found out that bow tie wearing mother fucker is charging me twice as much as everybody else to tip my trucks at his place

  Tony Soprano : so, you repair the tonnage and charge the townships a little extra for the pickups, that's all

  Richie Aprile : I got the smallest amount of routes than anybody in the association

  Tony Soprano : you're like the old woman who's got a Virginia ham under her arm and she goes around crying because she's got no bread

  Tony Soprano : [after Richie looks confused]  never mind, the point is your brother Jackie never concentrated on sanitation so what do you want Dick to do?

  Richie Aprile : [sternly]  I want a rate

  Tony Soprano : alright, I'll see what he says

  Richie Aprile : yeah, you see since you own part of the company

• Carmela Soprano : [while lying in bed]  Did you shut off all the lights?

  Tony Soprano : Yeah

  Carmela Soprano : In the kitchen?

  Tony Soprano : Yeah. I want to spend more time with AJ

  Carmela Soprano : It's the other one you should spend time with: she's almost out of the house

  Tony Soprano : Hey, I'm not worried about Meadow, she can take care of herself

  Carmela Soprano : Why the sudden burst of fatherhood?

  Tony Soprano : [irritated]  Can you say anything without it being sarcastic?

  Carmela Soprano : Your right, I'm sorry. I think it's a good idea, he adores you: he never gets to spend enough time with you

  Tony Soprano : Yeah well

  Carmela Soprano : I was reading in Time the other day this study at Harvard: a father's support is absolutely linked to a boy's later capacity to manage frustrations, to explore new circumstances, and to do well in school

  Tony Soprano : The kid needs to toughen up

  Carmela Soprano : I'm not talking about toughening up, I'm talking about opening up

  Tony Soprano : Somebody needs to teach that kid some street smarts: not to be a sucker, not to be involved with the wrong people. I don't want another Christopher on my hands, look at him, his lucky to be alive and the other poor prick they found dead: the kid was twenty-three or something

• Tony Soprano : I got something for you

  A.J. Soprano : what?

  Tony Soprano : a Penn and Rod international reel for you

  A.J. Soprano : thanks

  Tony Soprano : you wanted it for Christmas last year, remember? We couldn't get it because it was backordered? Well, I got a great deal on it: we'll take the boat and go out fishing

  A.J. Soprano : umm ok

  Tony Soprano : what're you doing now?

  A.J. Soprano : you wanna go fishing now?

  Tony Soprano : nah, nah, I figured we'd go see a movie or something? Get some pizza?

  A.J. Soprano : I can't

  Tony Soprano : [disappointed]  what'd you mean you can't?

  A.J. Soprano : I'm going to the mall

  Tony Soprano : [confused]  you can't see a movie because you're going to the mall?

  A.J. Soprano : well, not just me, Brad, Alan, Heidi, her sister maybe?

  Tony Soprano : [amused]  like a double date?

  A.J. Soprano : no dad, ok? We're just going to the mall: we go there sometimes

  Tony Soprano : [irritated]  and do what?

  A.J. Soprano : [referring to the cookie franchise]  I don't know, get something to eat: some Mrs. Fields. Well, anyway I gotta go, I'm meeting them there

  Tony Soprano : alright, go ahead, see you later
