Quotes

Phil Leotardo: Historically, Carmine always said the Sopranos are nothing more than a glorified crew. Plain and simple. We decapitate and we do business with whatever's left.
[to Albie]
Phil Leotardo: What?
Albie Cianflone: Nothin'. I agree in spirit but I gotta counsel.
Phil Leotardo: This thing shoulda been done during John's era.

best episode ever

Just one word, perfect. Best episode of The Sopranos. I can't wait for Sunday. It keeps your eyes on the TV screen for every single second. I wont tell what happens, but I want to say that I'm waiting more next episode than next Indiana Jones movie.I'm sorry that here in Italy nobody knows about The Sopranos. Everyone likes O.C. and they watch it like it's the greatest thing on TV. I've just one thing to say to this people, wake up! You're losing the best thing on TV for what? A teenager series where the story is so bad that after one minute of watching it I said "ok, I think it's better if I go to study something". David Chase invented a perfect mix between The Godfather and Goodfellas and he gave us an unforgettable masterpiece. Thank you David. PS sorry for my English, I think my teacher is wright when he says that I'm bad in grammar

Everithing comes to an end
