"And the Romans, where are they today?" "You're looking at them a**hole."
6 November 2008 | by (Staten Island, NY) – See all my reviews

One of all-time favorite episodes of "The Sopranos". The line above was uttered by a Hasedic Jew whose hotel Tony will soon take over. The plot line is strong as it shows how the mob takes over legitimate businesses.

There are many great things about this episode--I don't know which is better, the line above or the "nurse" who visits Jackie Aprile in the hospital (I think it's the nurse).

The ending is awesome as Junior sends a message to Tony's crew over the strains of Meadow's choir group's haunting song (a la "The Godfather"). Great episode--one of the many that first season that got me hooked. I miss the Mikey Palmice character--he was whacked too soon.
