Quotes 

• David Scatino : Listen, I heard through the grapevine that you're taking over your uncle's game, you know the big one?

  Tony Soprano : [Referring to the song by Creedence Clearwater Revival]  grapevine? You know if you listen closely to that song, it says believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see

  David Scatino : No, you know me, it's just... I like to play a little

  Tony Soprano : [confused]  a little?

  Tony Soprano : [realizing he wants to get in on the game]  forget it: this game's not for you

  David Scatino : I was thinkin I could get a kick?

  Tony Soprano : You're a nice guy I like you, ok? But trust me, this game's not for you. I don't want to see you get hurt: these guys, they play deep

  David Scatino : [referring to from his sporting goods store]  You know how many jockstraps I sold last week?

  Tony Soprano : Not enough for this game, ok? Forget it

• Tony Soprano : [while inside David Scatino's sporting goods store after business hours, referring to the police investigating the murder of Matt Bevilaqua]  if they do have something, why aren't they talking to you?

  Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : Give them time, they will

  Tony Soprano : [Referring to the charges they'll face]  murder, aiding, and racketeering

  Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : [On the possible sentence they'll receive]  Twenty to life

  Tony Soprano : [while Paulie and Furio enter the store, jokingly]  there they are: the Flaying Gavone Brothers

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : [to Tony]  not good, not good

  Tony Soprano : [Suddenly stands up and forcefully grabs Paulie by his shirt]  on my fuckin kids I will cut you, just tell me

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : Take it easy Tone. It's fixable. First off it's not a rat

  Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : Thank God

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : [to Pussy]  don't thank Him yet. There's an eyeball witness

  Tony Soprano : What're you talking about?

  Tony Soprano : [after kicking a table, to Pussy]  Jesus Christ! Shit! Did you see anybody? Did you see another living fuckin soul?

  Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : Fuck no

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : Don't worry, it's only a mere bump in the road

  Tony Soprano : Oh, you're beautiful

  Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : Do we know him?

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : My friend at the station only knows is that his a civilian. A flag saluting mother fucker

  Furio : [to Tony, unintentionally incorrectly using the Idiom "go on the lamb"]  Maybe you should lamb chop it for a while?

  Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : I keep a suitcase in my trunk

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : Yeah, tell us about it

  Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : Hey, fuck all of you, bygones are never fuckin bygones

  Tony Soprano : This is a fuckin nightmare. I've got to move some cash around, if I going to lamb it I'm going away with a fuckin "package." I'm not going to be like Mickey Mcsuko. That poor prick had five fuckin minutes to run. He ended up in some rat infested motel down in Elvis country

  Furio : [to Paulie]  where is that?

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : Anywhere there are no Jews or Italians

  Furio : I don't get it

  David Scatino : [after coming out of his office]  it's starting. It's fuckin starting

  Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : Get back in your office David

  David Scatino : I'm opening my mail and it's a lawsuit, there's a fuckin lean on the building they're going to close me down

  Tony Soprano : Davey, not fuckin now ok?

  David Scatino : They're going to know after this it's fraud. I'm going to go to jail for this

  Tony Soprano : [Angrily stomps towards David while shouting]  get the fuck back in your fuckin hole now!

  Tony Soprano : [after calming down, realizing they still David to continue their bust out scheme]  Davey, you're doing a good job

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : Don't worry about this witness T

  Furio : [In Italian]  that's true. We'll find him

  Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : Exactly

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : You don't even know what he said

  Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : Fuck you. I did too

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : What then?

  Salvatore 'Big Pussy' Bonpensiero : I understood

  Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : What does it mean?

• David Scatino : [while in the bathroom]  hey, buddy

  Tony Soprano : I saw your wife out there alone, I figured you were out at the trotters

  David Scatino : Not tonight, I had a customer, I couldn't "shake". The guy spends half an hour deciding between a twenty dollar soccer ball and a twenty two dollar soccer ball. So who do you like?

  Tony Soprano : I don't know, I think that guy from Bowdoin seems to make sense, I guess?

  David Scatino : No, I meant on the game tonight

  Artie Bucco : [after entering the bathroom, jokingly]  you guys want to be alone?

  David Scatino : [to Artie]  I saw the refreshment table out there, I knew you'd be lurking around here somewhere

  Artie Bucco : I don't know how I always get "roped" into this shit

  Tony Soprano : Charmaine's no fool

  Tony Soprano : [Referring to one of Artie's pastries]  she knows one of your Sfogliatella in the right mouth and your daughter can go to any school she wants

  Artie Bucco : So far the janitor's the only one going near them

  Tony Soprano : [Jokingly]  that's a nice career path for a young lady

• David Scatino : [referring to Richie]  He was pissed

  Tony Soprano : I'm gonna let you sleep one day: then you're gonna get the fuck up and go get me my forty-five thousand dollars

  David Scatino : No problem. Jesus, how about the luck on that Silvio huh?

  Tony Soprano : Why don't you shut the fuck up?

  Tony Soprano : [after David tries to change the subject]  If after one day, if you don't give me every penny, I' m gonna send someone down to your joint every Saturday for five percent interest. If you don't have it, it gets "taxed" onto the principle. You understand?

  David Scatino : I had a good run there for a while, I should've quit then though huh?

  Tony Soprano : [irritated]  Would you like anything else?

• David Scatino : [When seeing Richie talking to Eric]  is there a problem?

  Richie Aprile : No, I'm just breaking your kid's balls

  Richie Aprile : [after David hands him an envelope of money]  like the pimp says to his ho's, "keep them coming"

  David Scatino : [Referring to his short the amount of money he owes to pay off his debt to Richie]  hey, that envelope's "two C" shy, I'll catch up on it next week. It's no problem: I just got caught off guard this month, you know? I took a second on the house, didn't calculate it into my budget: no biggie

  Richie Aprile : [angrily]  No, good

  David Scatino : It's just a "stutter step", like I said, it's no biggie

  Richie Aprile : [Referring to the interest added to the total amount David is going to owe Richie]  the difference gets taxed onto the principle and you know that

  David Scatino : Yeah, I understand

  Richie Aprile : Now don't take this personally, I don't want to see your face at any of my games until you're caught up

  David Scatino : Come on, that's not necessary

  Richie Aprile : Kid, you think I started this life ten minutes ago? A guy hands you a "light" envelope, it's just the beginning... nothing personal

  David Scatino : Yeah, I know but it's just a...

  Richie Aprile : [Interrupts him, irritated]  I know, it's just a "stutter step"

• Tony Soprano : [surprised to see him]  what the hell are you doing here?

  David Scatino : hey, I was driving by I thought I'd stop and say hello. This is some place you got here

  Tony Soprano : [jokingly]  yeah, a regular Taj Mahal

  David Scatino : so, what's the game?

  Tony Soprano : seven card

  David Scatino : was that Frank Sinatra Jr. i saw in there?

  Tony Soprano : yeah, he's a friend of my uncle: he flies in

  David Scatino : wow, this really is an Executive Game. So, what'd you think?

  Tony Soprano : [assuming David's asking if Frank Jr. looks like Frank Sr]  there's a resemblance

  David Scatino : no, I mean the game. You think I can take these guys or what?

  Tony Soprano : this isn't a game for you

  David Scatino : oh, come on, what are the chances of me getting close to a game like this again? come on, let me sit in just once

  Tony Soprano : I don't do business with outside friends, you understand?

  David Scatino : [jokingly]  hey, do I have to show your high school prom picture to these guys? all kidding aside, I appreciate your position but come on, I'm a big boy

  Tony Soprano : [referring to how much money David is carrying at the moment]  what're you holding?

  David Scatino : I didn't really expect to gamble tonight

  Tony Soprano : you need five G's just to sit in this game

  David Scatino : [referring to a loan]  can't you "float" me? you know, short term?

  Tony Soprano : [sternly, referring to there will be repercussions if he doesn't pay the loan back on time and in full]  don't say "short" if you don't mean "short", all kidding aside, you understand what I'm saying to you?

  David Scatino : [reminding Tony he runs and owns a sporting goods store]  yeah, of course. Hey, you don't have to explain "business" to me

• Artie Bucco : [talking privately inside Artie's restaurant]  Talk to me

  David Scatino : I got myself in a little "bind." I feel ashamed

  Artie Bucco : what's going on? What happened?

  David Scatino : I'm in a jam: a bad one. This could cost me big, my marriage, my business

  Artie Bucco : Alright, alright, relax. I'm sure there's something we could do. What kind of jam? Oh jeez, you didn't knock up that Tae Bo broad you had working, did you?

  David Scatino : No

  Artie Bucco : Talk to me, I'm your friend

  David Scatino : I need money... I swear on my kid, I'll get it back to you before you even miss it

  Artie Bucco : How much money are we talking about?

  David Scatino : Not much: just enough to give me some little breathing room until I can get the rest together, just twenty thousand

  Artie Bucco : [shakes his head]  Bad timing: you're not gonna believe this, I gotta put a new roof on this place. God forgive me for saying this but did you consider chapter 11?

  David Scatino : [referring to his in debt to Tony]  I don't think Tony Soprano is going to buy that
