Tony Sirico credited as playing...
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [jokingly, referring to the comment President George W. Bush said to the FEMA Director Michael Brown for handling the Hurricane Katrina disaster] You're doing a heck of a job there, Brownie
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [confused] Huh?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [referring to the malfunction of a ride at the festival and ended in a money dispute between Bobby and Paulie and a child getting hurt] This "thing" with the ride, the shit with Bobby, you settle it. Settle it now and not because she's my sister either
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Tone...
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [interrupts him] You put little kids in jeopardy in the hands of some fuckin redneck? Not to mention leaving Little Paulie alone to deal with the cops
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: I thought he had it under control?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Let me ask you a question about the feast? Do we need "negative press"? With all the competition for the entertainment dollar? DVD's? The internet?
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Your right
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: What happened to the regular ride guy? The guy we used last year?
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: What he wanted to charge? I'm getting killed here. When your dad had Saint Elzéar, it was a cash cow and it was easy. Nowadays, between paying The Church, these Puerto Ricans now? My profit shrunk to nothing. Not for nothing but a lot of that piece goes in your pocket!
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [after realizing he was raising his voice to the boss of the family] I got a lot on my mind, I'm sorry
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Like what?
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: I had a biopsy, I might have prostate cancer
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: It's a biopsy, right? Nine times out of ten, these things come back clean
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [worried, rubs his head] I don't know
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: What don't you know? Don't work yourself up into a state like you do
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: I've been having headaches, I'm afraid maybe the thing metastasized?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [irritated] Jesus, will you listen to yourself? With all your weird phobias about your body and the germaphobia's? You don't know shit yet
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: It's true, I'd rather face ten guys with shives than something I can't see
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Exactly, your too susceptible to the psychics, the dream messages and the dirty fuckin toilet seats. It's a biopsy: get a grip
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Your right
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: You know all this negativity can help bring this shit on, and work something out with Bobby
- [Father Jose calmly extorts Paulie over the usage of a statue's solid gold hat]
- Father Jose: Given the tenor of this conversation, I sense there's a possible criminal element in this neighborhood that could endanger this precious piece of local history.
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: But for 50 grand... you wouldn't have that sense!
- Father Jose: It would demonstrate to me that you take this feast as seriously as the people who began it.
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Okay Father. Nice meeting you.
- [Paulie walks up to the statue and yells at it, as if to hurt its feelings]
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Fuck the hat!
