"How many years have we dreamt about this, to get out of this shit?" "Every time someone we know gets arrested" "I know." "Will you stop?" "I'm worried, Gene." "We've already made the offer." "I'm doing everything I can." "Why are you fighting?" "We're not fighting, sweetie." "We're talking." " How come you're not in bed, hmm?" " I don't know."

" The circle of life." "The circle jerk of life." "Where's the dignity?" "If you're lucky, in the end you can let go of your pride, let your loved ones care for you." "I'd rather they hold a pillow over my face." "I find it interesting you would say that." "You tried to smother your mother with a pillow." " What?" " ln the hospital, after her stroke." "The fuck I did!" "I grabbed a pillow, but it was... just to keep my hands occupied." "Have you considered getting your uncle some live-in help?" "We got a girl comes in days, she's from Trinidad." "Does he have the means for assisted living?" "Did you just say to let your loved ones take care of you?" " lf it's feasible." " Well, he's my uncle." "I don't think that's what we're talking about." "What are we talking about?" "The fact that you still, after all this time, cannot accept you had a mother who didn't love you." "ln pitying your uncle, the man she conspired with, you're turning the blame for what she did back on yourself again, after all this time." "What was your mother like?" "Did she ever let you down, hurt your feelings?" "Of course she did." "She was controlling and manipulative at times." " She also never tried to kill me." " I pushed her over the edge." "By placing her in a lovely retirement community." "It's a nursing home!" "It's less hurtful to believe that they were right to try and destroy you than to accept the fact that she didn't value you." "Hesh is a personal friend of mine, and the kid is his son-in-law." "Now I know Phil's got a lot on his plate, but come on." "I'll talk to John." "I was taking my sister there Saturday anyway."

"That breaks my fucking heart." "Christopher Moltisanti came over to the house asking about it." "He'll pay cash, he said." "There's something else, John," "Phil related." "The Hairdo, he's in a beef with the Jew." "What?" "God damn it, what?" "The Jew's son-in-law." "It got physical." "Your friend from Jersey got involved, but he can't get Phil to focus." "Do I not have enough on my fucking mind?" "The guy from Jersey asked me to tell you." "Well, then call Phil and have him fucking handle it!" "Don't yell at my brother, John." "He's trying to do right by us." "The pictures from Allegra's shower." "Noon he said, right?" "Passive-aggressive bullshit." "I recognize that in people every time now." "There he is." "Ho, finally." "I was starting to grow mushrooms out my ass." "There's an image." "So Gerry filled me in on the way over." "This whole thing was a complete misunderstanding." "Yeah, this Eli kid, I had any idea he was with you," " I would have never..." " He didn't tell you about Hesh?" "I asked who he was." "He high-handed me." "I thought he was a civilian." "Still, to get dragged by a car?" "For the record, though, the car thing was a hit-and-run." "So what do we do here?" " What did we say?" " 25 sounds right." "He's bleeding internally." "Pain, suffering" "So you tell me. 50?" "Yeah, fair enough." "Could we segue now into something more pressing?" "The floor is yours, Senator." "I spoke to John." "The split on the office park is way out of whack." "Same thing as the Esplanade." "Apples and bowling balls, Tony." "With fuel costs now" "Like you're not passing that on to the drivers?" "65-35." "All right." "Why you always cave for this prick?" "I'm not caving." "It's a strategy." "Johnny's in jail." "You keep him happy, he'll keep a lid on Phil." "Tony B, Phil's kid brother, the bad taste that left with Phil-- there are 200 soldiers in his family." "I'm not scared of them." " Tony left?" " Yeah." "I stopped by Stewart's." "I got a whole lunch set up." "Did Tony mention anything to you about what we talked about?" "About you moving to Florida?" "Did he say if he's leaning one way or the other?" "Listen, there's something I need you to do." "I got a call from Fritzie up in Boston." "There's a guy named Teddy Spirodakis, owes some money." " You want me to collect?" " That ship sailed." "Final notice time." "Really?" "You got a problem with that?" "No." "I just gotta run it by Vito." "He's my captain." "Believe me, Vito will be down with it." "So this comes from Tony?" "It's coming from me." "I'm not a fucking captain?" "All right, okay?" " How soon?" " ASAP." "Like right away." "I'll call with the details." "Get it done." "I'll put in a good word to T. about the Florida thing." "The rear deck, didn't they say that would be refinished?" "That's the old photo." "It's been completely redone." "The wiring in the pool house?" "Tell them they can knock two grand off the price or they can sell to someone else." "Listen, you're responding to their counter." "You should ask for whatever you want." "Okay, we'll call you tomorrow." "All right then, good night." "What do you think?" "That if we lose this house, I'm gonna die." "Ton', what do you want to do for dinner?" "I'll be right down!" "Well..." "Hey." "Your new insurance card." "Oh, good." "Any thoughts on dinner?" "Whatever you like." "I know this is insane, but I can't stop thinking about Nori's." "I was just there." " Today?" "With who?" " Nobody." "You went there without me?" "Yeah, I was hungry." " What?" " Nothing." " Come on, what?" " I don't know," "I just thought that was our special place." "Well, it is." "Well?" " I went there alone, Carm." " I know that." "You said." "It just felt nice to have something special, for us." "No kids around, without my parents..." "We can go if you want." "No, no, don't be silly." "Are you sure?" "How's the car?" "Teddy, right?" "Yeah." "Hey!" " Carmela." " Ginny, hi." "I tried calling, but I kept getting the machine." "ls everything all right?" "Truth is, sometimes I don't answer the phone." "Goddamn creditors." "I was in the neighborhood." "I thought I might kidnap you for a spa date." "Well, that's a nice surprise." "I thought maybe we'd drive up there, maybe stop at Occitane." "ls that new?" "Oh, the car?" "Yes, yes." "Porsche Cayenne, like the pepper." "It's beautiful, Carm." "Five minutes at no incline." "Then I switch to full uphill for my cardio." "I was telling Tony he should come with me." " Do him good." " It ain't just aesthetics, either." "God forbid he ever has a heart attack." "Yeah." "Vito, you're in the handicapped spot." " That fucking guy is here again?" " The man's a former judge." "Hey, listen to this." ""lf your nose runs and your feet smell-- you're built upside down. "" "Funny." "Hey, by the way, your Florida thing..." "Tony asked me to speak to you... that's a no-go." " What?" " Can't be accommodated." "You're part of the team." " But I just did that thing." " That's not my department." "Well, can I talk to Tony at least?" "I wouldn't bother him." "He's out on the new boat." "Does he think I'm gonna talk about shit up here, with what I've done, what I just did?" "It's not so silly when you think about it." "I'm a top earner now." "It's not out of the realm of possibility that I could be the boss of this family one day." "I mean, God forbid Tony ever gets... cancer, coronary, something like that." " Yeah." " Hey, big brother." "Listen, I know I was supposed to sit with Uncle Jun' tonight, but Tom just called from location." "Apparently, some smoke effect went awry and he inhaled noxious chemicals." "Well, go." "Go." "The thing is, Uncle Jun' doesn't want me to." "He's exceptionally agitated today and he's been nauseous." "Well, did you call Janice?" "I mean, her or Bobby should go." " I'm all the way out here on a boat." " They can't do it." " What do you mean can't?" " I don't know." "She didn't elaborate." "It didn't seem like she wanted to." " Aw, God damn it!" " I'm sorry, Tony." "All right, all right, all right." "Mother" "I swear to God, I'm throwing all this shit right in the garbage!" "It's my hobby, Janice." "Why do you gotta belittle it?" "Will you just get ready please?" " You go." "I gotta work." " You can do your collections tomorrow!" "I'm on a schedule!" "It don't work that way." "This is why you can't watch Uncle Jun'?" "I told you last week, we have Nica's preschool meeting." " She's 15 months old." " No one was more competitive than your wife when it came to this stuff with A. J." "A lot of good it did." "This child-- constantly wanting the breast." "He doesn't want to be alone." "He says he doesn't feel good." "The school, they need to meet both parents if it's an intact family." "So call the girl, the nurse." "Miss Trinidad?" "Right." "Every time I call, a different person answers." "I'll go, Ton'." "I'm on it." "Fuck it!" "You wanna get something done, you gotta do it yourself." "You were the one who was opposed to assisted living." "You and I are gonna talk." "You didn't have to wear your fucking hat." "Shit." "So how about you?" "Are you dating?" "With my hours at the body shop?" "Ladies." "Dessert was on me." "Thank you, Artie." "It's nice to see you two patch things up." " So silly." " I'm not even sure what happened." "Me and Tony didn't speak for months." "You pick up right where you left off." "Did Charmaine tell you?" "We're getting back together." "No, she didn't mention it." " That's terrific!" " We're both very happy." "Jesus, will you hear me out at least?" "We buy here." "Livingston, North Caldwell maybe." " Right near Tony." " Oh." "Better schools, new friends." "We got the money, baby." "$2 million." "It's not the same, Gene." "It could be better." "The summers down there-- we were ignoring the negatives." "It's fucking brutal with the bugs." "Tony and Silvio, all they understand is appearances." "We'll buy a new car." "It'll raise my profile." "You watch, I'll make captain." "I found this under our son's bed." "Florida's any better?" "It's the drug capital of the world." "Look, for Tony to" "Tony, Tony!" "Why don't you kill him?" " Put a bullet in his fucking head." " I can't do that." "What, you think I don't know that you've done it before?" " He's the boss, Deanne." " The boss of what?" "He's a piece of shit!" "ls our life that bad?" "It's your money." "Your aunt's money." "It has nothing to do with him." "There's this wonderful Jersey contemporary" "I want you to see with me." "It's cathedral ceilings." "You'll fall in love." "There's nothing I can say." "Colonel Dax, you're a disappointment to me." "You have spoiled the keenness of your mind by wallowing in sentimentality." "You really did want to save those men and you were not angling for Mireau's command." "You're an idealist and I pity you as I would the village idiot." "We're fighting a war, Dax, a war that we've got to win." "Those men didn't fight, so they were shot." "I apologize for not being entirely honest with you." "I apologize for not revealing my true feelings." "I apologize, sir, for not telling you" " Hello." " Who's that?" " It's me." " You can go to hell before I apologize to you now or ever again!" " What are you doing?" " I lost my uppers." " Probably upstairs." " God fuck it all!" "Relax, will ya?" "We'll find them." "The phone keeps ringing, and then they hang up."
