- PatzerTony complains to Silvio, Christopher, and Paulie that Carmela is the one who convinced him to buy Whitecaps when in fact it was his idea from the beginning. However, they're not talking about Whitecaps but about the house the Sopranos live in, which is abundantly clear from context.
- Zitate
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: You know, when you asked me what Irina's cousin had, that you don't have? Well, I thought about it, 'cause it's a pretty good fucking question. And yes, she's sexy enough even with the one pin gone, but that's not it. I could converse with her 'cause she had something to say.
Carmela Soprano: I AM HERE! I have things to say!
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Besides bringing the fuckin' chairs down and sign the fucking trust! She was a grown fuckin' woman who was kicked around. And she's been on her own and she had to fight and struggle!
Carmela Soprano: Unlike me? Is that it?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Yeah.
Carmela Soprano: [shouting] Who the fuck wanted it like this? Who the fuck pissed and moaned of just the idea of me with a fucking real estate license?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Well, you sit back for 20 fucking years all you did was fiddle with the air conditioning and fucking bitch and complain! And fucking bitch, bitch, bitch to me! TO YOUR PRIEST! FUCK IT!
Carmela Soprano: Who knew all this time you wanted Tracy and Hepburn? Well Tony, what about all the thousand other fucking pigs you had your dick in over the years? The strippers, the cocktail waitresses, were they all your best friends all of them too?
[pause]
Carmela Soprano: You fucking hypocrite.

Named after the place where Tony considers buying a beach house, the episode is essentially one long climax of the main tension that has been there for four years: the Sopranos' stressful marriage. It's all kick-started by a phone call from Irina, Tony's resentful former lover, who mercilessly taunts Carmela by revealing Tony has been sleeping with her one-legged cousin. This causes Mrs. Soprano to project all her repressed rage on her unlucky husband, who eventually accepts to leave the house. Therefore, two wars begin for Tony (the other is against Johnny Sack, who doesn't approve of the Jersey boss's decision not to go through with a hit on Carmine Lupertazzi), whereas another one ends for Uncle Junior: thanks to a threatened juror, his trial reaches the conclusion he was expecting.
While the Johnny and Junior situations are given very little room, saving material for the fifth series, the Tony/Carmela battle occupies 90% of Whitecaps: it's as if the writers (Robin Green, Mitchell Burgess and David Chase) had taken a regular fight between the two, which usually lasts a couple of minutes, and extended it to make it the subject of an entire episode. But rather than having a soap opera kind of quarrel, which gets boring after thirty seconds, the Soprano family breakdown is a 40-minute metaphorical fistfight between two of American television's finest actors, Gandolfini and Falco spitting bile at each other with neither of them pausing for breath. The Season 4 conclusion is an unstoppable container of acerbic, adult drama, so strong it's hard to believe anything could top The Sopranos at the Emmys in the Outstanding Drama Series category (The West Wing did, for three years; The Practice beat the first season). Unmissable.
