""Diary of a Thin Man."" " Where you been?" " Hospital, helping Carmela." "The devotion that kid shows." "I just think of my Marie, the kids, in that situation, God forbid." "My ma... who the fuck would take care of her something happens?" "Except Sil and you guys." "Colombians knock off at noon." "Then it's empty." "Manager's unit's down a flight." " Who's in there?" " Open it." "What the fuck?" "Get back!" " Shoot the prick." " Get the fuck out of the way." "Cocksucking miserable Spic shit!" "It's supposed to be empty here daytimes." "Jesus, my fucking balls!" "The money!" "Fuck, my fucking balls." " Oogatz here." " The freeze." "Nothing." "Come on, let's blow." "Lot of fucking noise we made." "Fuck that." "Close the goddamn door." "This fucking shit for a lousy two Gs?" "Oh, Anthony." " Hi, Uncle Bobby." " Hiya, sweetheart." "Cugin'." "I'm gonna go ahead." "What's up?" "You were at South Mountain Arena yesterday trying to buy a gun from that asshole in the snack shop." "Who told you that?" "We know how you feel, but you can't do this." "I can't believe you know this." "Who told you this?" "Look, if my pops was laying in there shot up" " I'd be thinking the same thing." " But you can't go there." " Yeah, why the fuck not?" " Listen to me," "I'm your uncle." "Junior's in federal lockup." "No one's getting to him there." "Well, it's difficult, but not impossible." "Trust me." "Your dad does not want you to get involved." "You gotta channel that rage elsewheres." "Golden Gloves." " What?" " Dumbbells or something." "Fuck your girlfriend more." "You little hothead here." " Hey." " Hi." "Did you park in emergency or in the garage?" "What's going on in there?" "They're on rounds or something, Dr. Plepler and the Indian girl." "Hi, did you bring me my sweater?" "Your sweater?" "Man, Jesus, fuck!" "All right, take it easy." "What is your problem?" "My problem is I'm old enough to sit with Dad all night, be a messenger boy, bring shit from the house, but I'm too young to deal with the larger issues?" " What are you talking about?" " Like you didn't put them up to it." "Put who up to what?" "God, he was in such a good mood this morning." "I told the nurse that I thought he moved his eyebrows at around 5:30." "Did she pass that along?" "'Cause if not, I'm gonna be furious." "Mrs. Soprano, you're really gonna have to recalibrate your expectations at this point." "We can't even maintain his blood pressure at a level that we'd like." "Until his fever dissipates and his white cell count comes down, we're a long way from home." "But he's really fighting." "Mom, he's really strong." "That is true." "Hi, Dad." "Monastery?" "Oh!" "I, uh..." "I received these this morning." "Do I really look that much like this guy?" "To a certain extent, all Caucasians look alike." "Look, I'm not Finnerty." "I didn't sell you this heating equipment." "But I am kind of worried about what I might have done." "Because you see, yesterday..." "Yes, tell us, there's no fraud without a fairy tale." "Yesterday, I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's." "Oh, my." "And I'm in this strange city and..." "Please come inside." "I came here because I thought you could help me reach Finnerty." "I have his wallet." "I have his briefcase, but I'm not him." "Excuse the brothers for laughing." "One day we will all die, and then we'll be the same as that tree." "No me, no you." "Be that as it may, we need heat." "We need to find someone who will take responsibility." "Well, I can't do that." "Then the lawsuit proceeds." "Hey, go home and I'll stay." "I just had Chinese food." " Carmela?" " Dr. Melfi, hi." "How are you?" "How are you is more the point." "I'm running around crazy." "My son was supposed to get coffee, or tell the maid to." "It's the one thing I have to have." "I got your note." "It was so thoughtful." "I've been calling the hospital and they say that Anthony's stabilized." "That's what they say." "If you or anyone needs anything, to talk or to run interference with the doctors," " don't hesitate to call." " I appreciate that." "Thank you." "I have plenty of people around I can talk to." "Of course." "Good luck." " Morning, Gab." "Is he ready?" " He's eating." "We're picking up Mrs. S. At 10:00." "I saw her Tuesday." "How's she holding up, poor thing?" "Not so hotso, really." " Coffee?" " Yeah, thanks." "You hear about the thing in the old neighborhood?" "I'm not busy enough for all this?" "Couple of guys left three on the floor in some Colombian laundry." "Thank you." "Two guys we know, huh?" "Total bloodbath." "Somebody said a million plus." "What a score." "Fuckin' A." " Sil, Benny says you have to go." " Yeah, all right." "Listen, don't forget..." "Oh, honey, your asthma kicking up?" "Springtime." "Pollen's out of control." " I am so proud of you." " Acting boss." "I hoped the day would never come." "You've always sold yourself short." "You know, that's not what I mean." "You know me." "All I ever wanted was to carve out a little piece, enjoy some grandkids." "But how many guys could step into Tony's shoes" " and do the job you're doing?" " You think?" "You have such strength in crisis." "Benny told me he feels honored to drive you." "You're firm about what you want without being obnoxious about it." "Sil, have you asked yourself what happens if, God forbid, Tony Soprano doesn't recover?" "Listen, Gab, I never talk to you about my work." "And?" "I'm gonna tell you something I never told anybody." "Back when Jackie was at the end, he floated the idea of me stepping up to the big seat." "Not Tony, me." " Really?" " Yeah, but I thought..." " it's not for me." " Still, you wouldn't sneeze at it." "I never saw myself as that kind of guy." "I'm more behind the scenes... advice, strategy." "But here you are, Sil." "The times make the man, honey, not the other way around." "Asians flip for horror films." "Plus, there's ancillary..." "No change with Tony." "Carmela's in goddamn pieces." "Memo... get some coffee up to Carmela's house." "Sil, Bobby was making collections up in Roseville again last night." "My time is limited." "Get him over and let's resolve this." " How's the skip doing?" " Same." "You forget something, like my cut?" "You believe this guy?" "You should've lost some weight in that nose, keep it out of everybody's business." "I'm working on it." "It's these fucking flowers right here." "Get this shit out of here." "That was Junior's neighborhood, so now it's mine." "Keep your voice down here." "A va' Napoli..." "it was Eugene's going on three years." "And Eugene was with me." "You should have never had it to begin with, except for the beef with the Tastee Freez route." "Junior ruled on it, and it wasn't right then." "This fucking guy." "Easy." " How much we talking about?" " Three Gs a week." "Maybe that's what that miserab' admitted to you." " I heard five." " You heard wrong." "What do we do here, Sil?" " Here's the thing." " What, skip?" "For the time being, it's Bobby's." "But he's still gonna kick up to you 20%." " How long's for the time being?" " Yeah, Sil." "What, do you speak Norwegian?" "For now." "We'll see how much is there." "Hi, everyone." "My God, you poor thing." "Hey, we just need some Irish Spring." "Good morning." "Another one?" "Know what I found out yesterday?" "What's that?" "Thank you." "I was diagnosed actually... with Alzheimer's." "Man, I'm sorry to hear that." "My uncle has memory loss." "Maybe it's hereditary." "Someone's probably studying that." "Is it possible that I am Kevin Finnerty?" "All right, I'll stop." " Sil." " What?" "You heard about this Orange Street takedown?" "The Colombians?" "That you?" "My guy had the tip." "Should be a nice chunk for everybody." "Everybody?" "Carmela, she gets T's cut under the circumstances, correct?" "It's your call." "I know it's my fucking call." "Yes, that is the correct thing." "Oh, ladies' room's next door." "I can reach it from here." "Grim fucking scene, that ICU." "She's one brave lady." "I was just saying, I'm gonna get T's piece of my half to Sil for her." " Of the thing." " Back up there, Bluto." "Your half?" "I did all the heavy lifting." "You would never have heard about it without my information." "Big help." "It was fucking mayhem." "You said the place was empty." "Doc says I need an ultrasound on my groin and balls." "Sil, you wanna weigh in here?" "It breaks half and half." "You both kick Tony's to me to deal with." "I'll have it for you, Sil, the whole 80K." "Ho, ho, ho, 80K?" "How's that 20% of a million?" "Have a cookie, you're delirious." "It was 750, tops." "Fuck it all, Paulie." "Tommy cased that shithole." "What's with the fucking accounting out there?" "That's a 100 grand apiece." "You got it?" "We're looking after Carmela." " No question." " Of course." "Sooner than later, Paulie." "I gotta piss first." "You want half of that, too?" "In a prior incarnation, I would get my load on, blow 20 residuals at the track." "As writers, we are all hung up." "But we are also hung up on our own hang-up." "We mythologize our inner narrative." "Take for example, "Beowulf."" "Who is Grendel, but the habit, the disease." "Ah, fresh casualties in the battle of the blank page." "Welcome to the Writer's Guild." "Have a seat." "Take me... my past as an addict." "Get the fuck up!" "Come on!" "Give me that fucking fisheye." "I'm offering you a way to wipe your fucking obligation." "Wasn't me who told you to start gambling again." "I can't write a feature now." "I just landed a staff job." "People are seeing huge profits with these digital horror movies." "Douchebags who never made a film before." "That "Saw" thing, 400 grand to make, took in 100 mil worldwide." "I'm 100% well." "I deliver this script, I owe you nothing?" "You hear this dude?" "100% well." "He's a bad boy, huh, with that lingo?" "Real fucking dark character." "My idea is "Saw" meets "Godfather 2."" "Proven track record..." "both genres." "Young wiseguy, assassin, gets betrayed by his people." "They whack him, leave his body parts in dumpsters all around the city." "Long story short, he is put back together by science, or maybe it's supernatural." "And he gets fucking payback on everyone who fucked him over, including the cunt he was engaged to." "She was getting porked by his boss the night the hero was killed." "We'll have a meeting tomorrow." "We hear what you've fleshed out before we go to script." "Bing, 2:30." "Don't make me come look for you." "An entire room full of writers, and you did nothing!" "Sir, it's family only in the unit." "I'll be out of your hair in a minute, sister." "I keep telling you people, I'm gonna have to call the hospital administrator." "I wanted to let you know there's a major package coming your way from Paulie and Vito, very significant." "You all have done so much already." "We just found out insurance won't pay for physical therapy." "Bastards." "So thank you." "You wanna come in, say hello?" "Uh, sure." " Hello, Father." " Silvio." "I have Napoleons, but I also got fruit for a certain party." "Either's good." "The program says sugar after meals" " tells the body you're full." " When you married my cousin, everybody used to say you looked like John Travolta." "He's almost back to his white suit." "The Bacala question." "Bobby don't have any claim." "I don't know why Sil ruled so half-assed on you." "It's not my style." "He's worried more about taking care of Carmela" " than the actual fucking earners." " Please." "With Johnny awaiting trial and the feds freezing his assets, who do you think's keeping Ginny in butter brickle?" "Lucky for me, those last years I was in the can, my kid brother Billy took care of Patty and the grandkids." "Only to have that motherfucking animal Blundetto..." "Don't do it to yourself, Philly." "It's hard to forget." "I don't forget." "I forget what we were talking about." "Me too." "What the fuck was it?" "Oh, yeah, Jesus." "Carmela." "The thing is..." "You want coffee, coz?" "If you're already making it." "Hot water and lemon, hon." "Honestly... how can I short Carmela?" "Maybe I'm not following you." "I'm as supportive as the next guy, but there's a point." "And what if Tony takes a turn for the worse?" "I'm gonna hand her $100,000, and he dies the next day?" "Be money down the drain." "It's tempting, but you can't think that way." "You all set now?" "Yeah, I'm living it up here." "You still stewing about that money?" "Spend some, you'll get over it." "I'll never get over it." "Certain people..." "let me tell you." "Oh, come on, not Sil again." "Carmela." "He's a fucking vegetable." "But I still gotta pay tribute to the princess of Little Italy." " The boss' wife." "What are you gonna do?" " Fuck her." "I'm on my way in now." "Yeah, good, and you might want to take care of that thing we talked about." "Which thing?" "That big piece of pie you were bringing to the hospital" "She's expecting you, so make it happen." "What are you worried about?" "I think I know who I'm fucking dealing with here." "I resent that." "You have a problem taking orders from me?" "Keep your shirt on." "It's done." "Don't get in bed with him again." "You dislodged his drains." "That was my daughter." "And I can't help but think that physical affection means something." "They refrigerate this place, huh?" "There you go." "What are you still doing out there?" "I got involved in a lawsuit." " A lawsuit?" " Could create problems later." "What kind of lawsuit?" "Hello." " Also..." " What?" "I had an accident." "I fell down some stairs." "Oh, my God!" "The doctor said..." "What did he say?" ""Mild concussion," he said." "Told me I'd be okay." "That's it." "I'm coming out there." "My mother's over here anyway." "She can stay with the kids." "No, don't do that." "Are you telling me everything?" "JT, I want to introduce you to Carmine Lupertazzi my co-executive producer on the project." "Nice to finally meet." "I heard tidbits of what Chris has got in mind... the genre and so forth." "But, JT, I gotta warn you," "I'm very hands-on." "I learned that the hard way." "I wanna welcome all of you to the first meeting of possible investors on this project." "Some of you know I've had nine pictures under my subspecies, four in the "South Beach Strumpet" series alone, each with 30,000-plus DVDs in print." "That being said, I usually find it helpful at this stage to include my prospective partners and get your inputs or notes as we call them." "JT, you're on." "Well... we've been working on a new kind of slasher film." "It takes place in the world of... you know... um, the mafia." "It's about a wiseguy with a big mouth and bigger dreams." "Anyway, they call him "The Butcher."" " No, they don't." " Why the fuck not?" "Need I remind you of a certain butcher out of A. C?" "Right." "Not "Butcher." Go on, JT." "So, right." "He's kind of outshining his boss." "So the guy has him clipped, but he's still alive when they cut him up." "He's gonna feel that the next day." "Right." "So at the dump, his body reassembles itself, all except for a hand that got crushed." "So he ties a cleaver onto the stump and he goes out to get revenge on everyone, especially the boss, which is a pretty solid role." "Right now it's called "Pork Store Killer."" "But I'm thinking... just..." ""Cleaver."" "I'm confused." "You said he's dead." "How's he evening up with anybody?" "He's a ghost?" "As I understood, a zombie of sorts." "Great title, by the way." "But if they jointed him, he's not gonna end up all in the same dump." " And how's that a slasher film?" " What are you talking about?" "A slasher." "A couple of kids naked in a lake." "Certified maniac on the loose, not a ghost." "Actually, the maniac is almost always a supernatural force." "Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers from "Halloween."" "Get the fuck out." "Easy, Sil, easy." "He's making a point." "Michael Myers is an escaped mental patient." "Jason and Freddy, different kind of movie." "Well, that's the kind we're doing here." ""Saw," "The Ring"...they made millions." "And that's not even including" ""The Godfather" angle, which we got here." "What if... they disposed him at stops that happened to be along the same route?" "Then he would all end up in the same dump." "But he's a ghost?" "I don't know." ""Ghostbusters"...another fucking money machine." "Cavalry's here." "I brought some cannelloni." "Again." "It's got bechamel on it, so five, six hours out of the fridge, tops." "Thank you." " Hey." " Howdy." "Look at her." "That word "plucky," is that what it means?" "Only, when do I get to spend some face time with the skip?" "Hospital gets ticked off." "We'll try to sneak you." "...in this mob family domestic shooting, which some observers note carries the echoes of the death of soul great" "Marvin Gaye." "As 20-year-old Anthony Soprano Jr." "Himself told our Amy Kean, "Growing up Soprano, it's just plain weird."" "You just wanna bite it!" "Big Lots!" "What's your deal today?" "Carmela?" "I swear to God, I'm gonna fucking kill you!" " What the fuck?" " You made a fool of yourself and our family on national fucking television?" "I didn't even say that shit." "They totally misquoted me." " Holy shit." " Well, of course they did." "That's what they do, which is why I and everybody else told you, "Don't talk to the press!"" "You're the one who looked like a total asshole." "Dragging me around like I was five years old." "You are a cross to bear." "That's all you are." "To your father, to me, to everybody." "Fuck this." "Fuck it all!" "Jesus, Mel, the hell's wrong with you?" "What's wrong with me?" "What's wrong with me?" "Mom." "It had to happen." "She's fried." "You have any extra compensation for what you've been going through?" "Nah, part of the job." "Like they say, with great power comes great responsibility." "You know, Vito called me "skip" the other day." "Really?" "Slip of the tongue, no doubt, but I noticed he didn't correct himself." "See?" "If it did become permanent," " your compensation might be..." " Don't go there." "Hi, Gab." "I need Sil for a second." "Can you keep it short?" "He's pretty beat." "This better be important, Bobby." "Got a new baby and two kids in private school." "This arrangement with Vito is killing me." "It's 9:30 at night." "Bobby, I don't remember what the fuck it was." "Roseville, this temporary shit." "I need an answer already." "I'm going out of my fucking mind here." "I'm liable to do something drastic." "Calm the fuck down." "Let me think." "Mornings are better." "I'll come up with a solution." "I don't want you to worry about it." "I must have sounded odd at the supermarket the other day." "See, you're Tony's therapist." "Whether it's appropriate..." "How can I help you?" "It's about my son." "Both kids, really." "The situation with the shooting." "I'm very worried about them." "Sure." "It's a very serious problem, you know, guns in the home." "It's a societal concern." "Obviously, we learned our lesson too late." "I immediately removed all the firearms from the house after the goings-on at Tony's uncle's." "Anyway, last night, I was shrieking at my son, and I said something very cruel." "And especially since he's been trying so hard..." "How are you doing?" "You know, I'm frazzled certainly, but I am more worried about them." "They're not kids anymore." "When they were young, there were certain things we could tell them about Tony's life." "You know, lies." "We'll just call them what they were." " But now..." " So the issue isn't just guns in the home." "Honestly, I think about my son in front of those cameras, having to vouch for all this." "My daughter and her friends." "They have to face all these years of facading." "They do or you do?" "The minute I met Tony, I knew who that guy was." "On my second date, he brought me and my mother each a dozen roses and my father a $200 power drill." "Not the typical story of young love." "And I don't know if I loved him in spite of it... or because of it." "My parents weren't like that." "And I knew, whether consciously or not," "I knew that behind that power drill, there was probably some guy with a broken arm, you know, or worse." "And you coped with that, how?" "I'd go to my priest, and I would cry, and say how bad I felt about how my husband made his money, but that was bullshit." "Because there are far bigger crooks than my husband." "But the kids... they don't decide who they're born to." "So now what?" "Yeah, that's just it." "Now what?" "It's all out in the open now, the whole thing." "And them, they're not in grade school anymore." "They become... the longer they stay with us..." "Complicit." "Oh, God." "Putting aside the moral and legal issues, clarity can't be a bad thing." "Yes." "Tony's second night in the coma, I told him I loved him." "When was the last time I said that?" "Are you afraid you aren't going to feel that way when he wakes up?" "Anthony tells me things have been... better between you." "Come here, honey." "It's okay, honey." "You're gonna be okay." "I can't breathe." " It's all right." " Come here, honey." "Can't breathe." "Can't breathe." "It's okay, honey." "You're gonna be okay." " What's going on?" " Would you move your car, please, sir?" "Sil, I didn't hear from you." "Sil's on the canvas now." "Fucking 100% disaster." "Point is, Tony goes, let's face it, somebody's gonna have to step into the breach." "I'm a young man." "Now without the weight," "I'm a healthy man with longevity." "I hear Sil is at St. Barnabas." "My God, what is happening to us around here?" "Sil's gonna be fine." "You have enough worries." "Listen, sweetheart, you're expecting something, and I can't get into specifics, and Tony wouldn't want me to, but there are certain people looking over our shoulders right now." "It's okay, Vito." "I'm not expecting anything." "Money's not an issue." "Like you said, I got bigger worries, like this son of mine." "You gotta trust me on this, hon." "Suspicions get raised if we were to move it to you at this moment." "I got this." "Your ma says now's our moment." "The main thing, when people come to sit with dad, the doctors want positive talk." " It helps in his recovery." " Got it." "Oof, Madonn' he looks terrible." "Uncle Paulie, you can't say stuff like that." "You have to stay positive." "Yeah, it's just nothing prepares you for that." "Uncle Paulie!" "Only one person at a time, please." "She's a ballbuster." "Finn's on his way up." "I'll be back in a few minutes, okay?" "Remember, stay positive." "I gotta wear a jock, the doc says." "Keep the testes elevated." "Of course, it could be a lot worse, right?" "They gave me an ultrasound, no rupture." "I mean, the good thing is" "I hurt it doing a major piece of business." "I saw a little action, and the next thing, I was at the urologist." "Fucking guy tells me I can't expect the same things from my body no more." "I tell you, T, first the eyes, then the teeth." "Next you find out you can't take pissing for granted." "Some joke, huh?" "When I was in the service, I won the chin-ups cup three weeks in a row." "Fucking beautiful definition, too." "Guy asked me to model for the boxing poster." "He was half a fag, but I was flattered just the same." "Now look at this." "Fucking wrinkles like an old lady's cunt." "You don't think it's gonna happen to you, but I'm feeling it, Tony." "Phineas Fogg back in town." "He forgets all the little people." "Hey, Vito, how's Mr. Soprano doing?" "Let's hope he pulls through, huh?" "Hi." "So glad you're here." "I'm gonna let you two lovebirds be." "That... don't worry about him." "He's harmless." "That fucking agita, T." "I mean, do I blame myself for this life?" "The shit that happens, like with Puss." "Standup one day, FBI rat fuck the next." "I felt it here, T." " I felt it right here." " Will you please shut up in there?" "I'm sorry." "Yes, the Inn at the Oaks." "Left on Jamboree Boulevard?" "Out towards the beacon." "What is that beacon anyway?" "Oh." "God damn it!" "Shut up!" "Shut up in there!" "So I said to Ma..." "What the fuck?" "Dr. Budraja, stat to room 3." "Nurse, don't leave!" "Help!" " Out of the way, sir." " Oh, my God!" "What's happening?" "Soprano, V-tach on the monitor." " Thready pulse." " Take his pressure." "Get a board ready." " 80 palp." " All right, let's bag him." "Oh my God, is he dying?" "Where's my mom?" "I don't know what's happening." "One, two, three." "Oh, my God!" "Still V-tach at 210." "150 mg of amiodaraone." "Grab the paddles." "Clear the room." "Cardiovert at 100." " Dad!" " Stand back." " Daddy!" " All clear." "Clear." " 200." " Stand back." " All clear." " Clear." "Excuse me." "Is this the Finnerty reunion?" "Hello there." "They're waiting for you." " Me?" " Of course." "Has Kevin Finnerty arrived?" "We don't talk like that here." "What do you mean?" "Your family's inside." " What family?" " They're here to welcome you." "I don't understand." " You're going home." " I am?" "Everyone's in there." " You can't bring business in there." " Daddy." "I lost my real briefcase." "My whole life was in it." "Don't go, Daddy." " What is that?" " Briefcases aren't allowed." " No, the voice." " Please, let me take that from you." " Looks like it weighs a ton." " I don't want to." "Well, you need to." "You need to let go." "We love you, Daddy." "Don't leave us." "For some reason..." "I'm scared." "Well, there's nothing to be scared of." "You can let it go." "Just come say hello." "All right." "Daddy!" "Please don't leave us, Daddy." "We love you." "Dad?" "His eyes are open." "Daddy, look at me right here." "All right, normal sinus rhythm." " Pulse and pressure?" " Good." "Oh my God!" "Thank God." "Thank God." "Hang an amiodaraone drip and send off a set of electrolytes now." "Dad, look, here you are." "So I'm holding his hand, and all of a sudden the machines go bullshit." "You told us, for Christ's sake." "Those fucking doctors, it's their fault." "Skip's gonna make it." "He's conscious." "Oh, thank God!" "I got it, honey." "Fuck took you so long?" "I had to get it together, didn't I?" "We gotta get that cut to her now." "Easy, that's a fucking guilty move." "Tony's conscious." "You capisce?" "Everybody and his mother was in there talking to him when he was in that coma." "Carmela." "Who knows what the fuck they said?" "Maybe he's expecting that money." "Jesus Christ." "He can't talk yet because of the tube that was in his throat." "Maybe we should consider ourselves lucky there." "But we are very happy, aren't we?" "Anthony, you had us so worried." "I haven't been to church that much since I quit playing bingo." "What, honey?" "I'm dead, right?" "No no, you're in the hospital with all of us." "In Newark." "Mr. Soprano, how are you today?" "I'm Dr. Vahapsideh." "I'm a neurologist." "How's he doing, sweetheart?" "I don't know if we're out of the woods yet, but he's hanging in." "He just passed his first simple mental acuity test, so..." "Your strength, that was the difference." "Oh, a little something from us." "Help defray medical costs, rehabilitation." "Jesus, I don't know what to say." "This is what we do, honey." "I'd want the same for my Marie." "Or my ma." "We're here if you need anything." "Great fucking news, T." "See you're up and around." "Best." ""Sometimes I go about in pity for myself, and all the while, a great wind carries me across the sky." "Ojibwe saying."" "Indians, right?" "Who put this up?" "Listen, T, something I wanted to talk to you about." "I'm gonna take another run at the movie business." "I know you haven't liked that in the past, but I'm going about it in a whole different way." "In fact, I'm hoping you'll become an investor when you feel a little better, and I can explain what we're doing." "It's pretty exciting." "We'll own the neg." "That's what they call it." "It means negative." "I'm holding a large ownership position open for you." "I hope you approve." "Actually, frankly... all due respect," "I think you owe me this, as I came to you about Adriana." "You've got him up?" "I know how it looks, but he should be upright as much as possible." " I'm gonna leave you two alone." " Thanks for everything." "Okay." "I don't know how you do it." "That's gotta feel good, huh?" "The simple things." "Gentlemen, can I get you anything?" "Orange County firefighters have called in extra help from the California Department of Forestry aircraft..." "Hi, you've reached the Sopranos." "Leave a message." "Bye!" "Stop picking your nose!" "I'm here." "Call me." "Love you." "Thanks." "Good morning." "Anthony Soprano." "Yup." "See some photo ID, please?" "What the hell?" "This isn't my wallet." "Oh no." "And this isn't my briefcase." "Last night..." "I was at a bar across the street from my hotel." "I must have picked up the wrong stuff." "Well, I'll tell you what:" "I'm here, so I'll try to call the bar." "But could you let me in so I don't miss the morning session?" "Gosh, I really can't." "Look, I just flew in from New Jersey and Colonel Colonna, he speaks at 10:30." "I can't let you in without photo ID, sir." " Security." " I'm on the list." "Sorry." "It's a whole new world." "Got a big $87 in cash to my name." "So his briefcase is a Bally too?" "No." "I didn't look at the brand name when I picked it up." "It just looked like mine, that's all." "I gave you that briefcase for Christmas, Ton'." "I know, honey." "I know." "His license has a Kingman, Arizona, address and no phone is listed." "What's in the briefcase?" "Did you look?" "Yeah, of course I looked." "There's a bunch of brochures for solar heating systems." "No company name." "He'll get in touch." "That was a great lecture." " Oh, look at this now, look." " What?" " Nothing." " Try not to worry, Ton'." "My whole life's in that case." "Thank you." " Welcome to the Radisson." " How you doing?" "I checked out a couple hours ago but I'm going to need the room back." "Soprano." "I am sorry, but we're completely booked." " You're kidding." " I'm afraid not." "There's six conventions in town." "You might try the Omni." "Trouble is I lost my wallet, so how the hell am I going to check in there without a credit card?" "You'd face the same problem here." "Yeah, but I stayed here as a guest just last night." "You couldn't sign on that bill, you've already closed it out." "Thanks for being so helpful." "Hi." "What can I get you?" "Well, I don't know if you remember me, but I was in here last night around 8:00." "I was sitting right over there." "I ordered the blackened grouper sandwich then I canceled." " Said I had pains in my stomach." " Vaguely, okay..." "Well, when I was leaving, I picked up a wallet and a briefcase and I thought they were mine," " but they weren't." " Oh, Jesus." "You don't happen to remember who was sitting next to me?" "You know, there was a guy." "He was about your height." "You know the reason I remember is he'd had that grouper sand too and I was afraid we'd mess the orders up." "I think he left before you." " And he never came back?" " No." "You know the name Kevin Finnerty?" " He drives a Lexus." " You know him?" "It's a joke." "Infinity?" "Lexus?" "I imagine you could use one on the house." "Yeah, yeah." "You said a mouthful." " Uh, Scotch rocks." " All right." " Glenlivet okay?" " Oh yeah, better than okay." "Well, might as well hang out here in case he shows or calls." "You realize I can't even get on a plane without a picture ID?" "Oh God, that's right." "Well, tell me about Costa Mesa." "Nice place to live?" "Around here?" "It's dead." "Give me the grouper sandwich." "You got it." "Bag the sandwich." "Come eat with us." "A few of us are getting a table." "Dude lost his wallet and briefcase." " Man." "Oh no." " That's all right." "Thanks anyway." "Come on." "That tool who took your stuff shows up, we'll all pound his ass." "Okay, thanks." "U.S. Drill Bit." "Aerospace and industrial equipment." "We just sold our gear and coupling unit to Wheela-brator" " to focus on pumps and compressors." " Interesting." "Tony, you never did tell us how you made the jump from selling patio furniture to precision optics." "Well, like my wife says, that's a good question." "Excuse me for one minute." "Hi Daddy." "I made volleyball." "All right!" "I told you, didn't I?" "You were worried over nothing." "How's your brother?" "Mom put him to bed early." "He puked." "Oh no." "Is she around?" "Mom!" "Bye, Dad." "Bye, baby." "Ton', how ya doing?" "Finnerty didn't call there, did he?" "No." "I'd have let you know right away." "Where'd Jeff and Kansas go?" "To bed, and they sucker-punched you, buddy." "They paid the check." "You guys all had a hand in this, didn't you?" "Listen, we're just impressed to be in the presence of a man whose sales team snatched the brass ring" "12 consecutive quarters." "It's not such a big deal." "There's always a faster gun." "I'm 46 years old." "I mean, who am I?" "Where am I going?" "Join the club." "Now is the time you can clearly hear His voice." "Let us rejoice in His love." "Mmmm." "This isn't going to happen." "What are you talking about?" "I saw your face when you got off the phone with your wife." "So?" "Don't sweat it." "It's sweet, actually." "But you talk about them back there a lot." "I could even be some other guy tonight and get away with the whole shebang." "But no, I blow it." "They're looking for a perp." "His eyes are open." "Two, three." "He's bucking the vent." "Give me the lights." " I'll get some restraints." " Four milligrams Ativan." "He was just lying there peacefully just like he has been and then he just..." " He's still bucking." " Room three!" "The gunshot." "He pulled his tubes out!" "I have to retube him." " Oh God." " Etomidate and sux and an airway box." " Take the family out." " Give us room to move." " Please wait outside." " Where's the Ativan, please?" "I got him." " Tony." " Dad?" " Mr. Soprano." " Tony?" " What, honey?" " Who am I?" "Where am I going?" "We're right here with you." "Tony, who am I?" "Get ready to retube him." "Sir, can you hear me?" "Who am I?" "Where am I going?" " Dad!" " Tony!" "I'm going to have to insist that you guys leave." "Getting this breathing tube back in is something you're not gonna want to see." " What's going on?" " You're just getting back?" "Matt's car wouldn't start." " Did you eat at least?" " Yeah." "Dad's not so good right now." "They made us leave." "I got to go." " What's the latest?" " He came out of the coma for a minute." "They took the breathing tube out." "That's good, right?" "That means he's breathing on his own." "They had to put the tube back in." " Goddamn Junior." " Anthony Soprano is not going to die." "I don't know what everybody's talking about." "Nobody's saying he's going to die." "Could one of you take these guys home, please?" "2:00 a.m." "You can't live in this ICU." "Two nights straight is too much." "I'm okay." "Mead spelled me last night." " I'm staying tonight too." " I want you to go back." "Okay, people call the house." "I need somebody there." "Ma, you want some tea?" "Van Helsing, let's go." " I'll take him." " I got it." " He's on my way." " Bullshit, you live in Bellevue." " What do you care?" " You already brought the sfogliatelle!" "Let's go." "Got him back on the ventilator, mucus plug." "The bullet didn't just tear up the pancreas, it impacted the gall bladder." "Sepsis is the big problem." "An infection in the blood." "I've got him sedated and restrained so he can't pull his breathing tubes out." " Okay, then what?" " As we discussed before, we're probably not looking at a very good outcome here." "Should we call Dr. Plepler?" "I'll let him know." "And Taschlin too." "He'll stop by." "Does he know that he's dying?" "We don't know." "Welcome to the Omni." "How may I help you?" "Name is Finnerty." "I called and reserved a room." "Yes, Mr. Finnerty, we have you down for a single room for the night." "Did you wish to keep that on the Visa?" "Uh, yeah." "I'll need to take an imprint to cover incidentals." "Sure." "Room 728." "Elevators are on your left." "Have a good night." "Thank you." " Good night." " Night." "Kevin Finnerty?" "We thought we heard that man say your name." "How fortuitous we should meet up with you again." "You know him?" "This is important." "Months you have ignored our letters and phone calls." "Well, we are now filing suit against you." "No, okay, back up." "I'm not Kevin Finnerty." "I have his wallet by mistake and I guess I look a little like him?" "So he is from around here?" "We had a horrible winter at the monastery because of your heating system." "I'm not Kevin Finnerty." " Lose your arrogance." " Son of a bitch!" "Hey!" "Hey, come on guys." "Did you see?" "He hit me!" "Don't let him..." "he hit me!" " You okay?" " Don't let him go!" "I was just trying to block your fall." "Did you see that?" "Why would I be joking?" "He slapped me in the mouth." "Did you file a police report?" "I'm staying here under somebody else's credit card." " You could've explained that." " Oh, you're so sure?" "It's fraud." "Does the hotel know if there's a Buddhist temple or anything around?" "They say there's more than one." "If I could find the place and I could get some words in edgewise, they might point me to Finnerty." "But who wants more complications?" "I just want to come home." "I know." "You never even wanted to go to this conference." "I agree." "You should just leave tomorrow and not go on to Houston." "I'll wire you cash." "Can I claim the cash without ID?" "Shit." "That's a good question." "All right, I'll call Doenitz, see if the company can help." "I miss you." "I miss you too, but you're off in your own world." "You're too distracted with work." "This is partly your fault." "Call me later if you can't sleep." "Love you." "Love you." "Good morning." "Oh!" " Mead honey?" " How is he?" "The same." "But another night has passed and he is still with us." "He's not the same." "His fever dropped to 39.1." "That's 102-point-something." "Oh, Dr. Plepler." "Good morning." "Hear we had a rumpus last night, huh?" "Oh, God." "It was awful." "How long since he left my O. R?" " His amylase is 41." " Hematocrit still okay?" " Yup." " Good." "Hi." "How's my big brother doing today?" "Everything's okay here." "You mean just the surgery per se?" " Uh-hmm." " Well what about the sepsis?" "Yeah, well that's the concern." "What did Taschlin say this morning?" "Dr. Taschlin never came in here this morning." "Well, no matter." "I'll be talking to him." "Go ahead and change the dressing, huh." "Does this mean the chances could be worse my husband could not come out of his coma?" "Actually, now we've induced coma." " He's snowed with Ativan." " What?" "Why?" "Control the seizures while we try to knock down the fever with antibiotics." "It says his temperature's down some." "The problem here is not only are we looking at the obvious negative outcome, but in these cases we also contemplate degrees of brain damage in the event he does survive." " What antibiotic is he on?" " Zosyn." "Sorry, Doctor, she volunteered in an ICU this summer." "Columbia Pres in New York." "She's thinking about a career in medicine." " Oh, good." " Or law, I don't know." "Good morning, Doctor." "I'm the sister." "We met yesterday." "Look, you're all doing the right thing." "You're staying with him, keeping contact, but talk to him also." "Keep him engaged." "You might want to play some of his favorite music." "You know fortunately for him, he is at a level-one trauma center." "Or with his injuries, believe me, he would have been dead 12 hours ago." "Okay, I see." "Thank you, Doctor." ""Thank you, Doctor"?" ""I'm sorry, she volunteered at an ICU"?" "You treat these guys like rock stars." " He's the doctor, Meadow." " Well why bring up brain damage now?" "We'll cross that bridge if we have to." "I came by to help, guys." "Anything." "I left Nica with Bobby's mother." "You both should get some rest." "Come on in and see him." "Your sister's here too." "Oh my God." "Oh God." "I can't get used to this." "Oh my God." " Oh my God." "I can't..." " I know, Janice." "I know." "Get her some water." "Come here, sit down." " It's okay, it's okay." " That's my brother!" " What are these?" " A watch and a pencil." "Repeat the following sentence," ""No ifs, ands or buts."" "I'll do it if I fucking feel like it." "Take your ultimatums and stick them in your ass." "No, repeat the sentence." "What is this person talking about?" "!" "These people are trying to establish for the government, that if you shot Anthony Soprano, which we're not conceding, that it certainly wasn't intentional... that you were confused and disoriented." " Don't coach him, please." " My nephew Anthony?" " That's why you're here in custody." " Where's Mel?" "You dismissed Mr. Melvoin as your attorney and hired me." "Because of his paralyzed hand from his stroke, it made your nervous." "If somebody shot my nephew it was him himself." "He's a depression case." "You got any beefs, I'm the one you come to." "Likewise, weekly I'll collect for the skip." "I'll keep it for him until he's back on his feet, taking out a portion for Carmela to run the house and that shit there." " Good." " Absolutely." "Anybody got any questions?" "For now, not personal questions relating to yourself, but about the family." " Yeah, Vito." " The sports book in Roseville." "By rights, that should go to me now." " Eugene was with me." " Yo, what'd I just say?" "Not about yourself!" "What do we do about Junior?" "He's in jail." "That puts him out of our reach." " Not necessarily." " He's a demented old fuck." "I say we do nothing." "Let him rot, sever all ties." "End this embarrassment right now." "He "Marvin Gayed" his own nephew, the boss of this family." "What happens to Junior is Tony's call." " That's right." " Bobby, all due respect, where the fuck were you that night?" "Why was the skipper babysitting Junior?" "I had other family obligations." "Ask my wife." "Tony volunteered." "Are we done?" "I'm going back to the hospital." "He's gotta make an issue out of everything lately." "Roseville's been Junior's territory since the Big Bang, which means it goes to Bobby now that Junior's out of the picture." "Vito already pulls down more scratch than anybody, from the unions." "Let him go to the hospital first, that fat fucking kiss-ass." "I'm buying Tony a nice little stereo for the room." "He don't need that." "Look at this fucking mutt." "Who wouldn't like to take the easy way out?" "Maybe the poor fuck was suffering from inoperable cancer or some shit." "Suicide runs in families." "Maybe it was his mother or his old man took the gas pipe when Eugene was a kid." "His son, the drugs maybe." "I knew him better than anybody, but still..." "Maybe he was a homo, felt there was nobody he could talk to about it." "That happens too." "Good thing Tony never heard about him killing himself, at least." "Got enough on his plate." "The nurse told me she saw AJ." "She did?" "I asked him to bring Dad's Tony Bennett box set from home." "Yeah, it's been kind of weird." "Would you call it growing up Soprano?" "I guess." "I don't know." "Come with me." "Hold on there." "What did I tell you?" "We were just talking." "Don't talk to them." "Say nothing." "Where are your father's CDs?" " I forgot." " Oh Jesus God, Anthony." " Everybody is pitching in here but you." " Thanks, Mom." "I wish you would go to class if this is all you're gonna do." "With my father in the hospital?" "Go to the deli on Broad Street." "Get some bagels." "All right?" "Get enough for everybody upstairs, an assortment." "And go this way." "Look." "Chris just sent this over." "A little stereo." "Mead, my God, I'm telling you, she seems like she's grown up so much." "What she knows." "She will make a terrific doctor." "I got some CDs from my car." "Oh yes, you like this one." "Anthony, Anthony." "Ho, Sheriff of Nottingham." "My kingdom for a mortadella, huh?" "They make a great sandwich here." "No getting around it." "What about that disease you picked up over there in Diarrhea-stan or wherever the fuck you were?" "This might be the cure." "Yeah, we're sorry to hear about Tony." "I got nothing to say about what happened so..." "That's not why I asked." "How's he doing?" "He's fucked up." "You know what I think?" "I think you don't come here for the sandwiches." "I think you come 'cause you miss us." "Hey, I can't blame you." "That job you got now must be depressing." " How goes the war on terror anyway?" " Working it." "I heard Fieldcrest reported a truckload of towels missing." "We actually spend a little more of our time trying to interdict the financial networks that fund the terror cells worldwide." " No shit." " Truck hijacking, narcotics." "In fact, if you ever heard of anything going down," "Middle Easterners, Pakistanis, you'd be helping a lot if you picked up a phone." " And called you?" " It's your country too, isn't it?" "Like I'd know one of these suicide jerk-offs if he bit me on the the ass." "You knew Matoush Zhia." "Hung out at your girlfriend's club." "He was a drug dealer, her friend." "I didn't know shit about his politics till one of your people told me." "Something to keep in mind." "I take that terrorism shit seriously." "And Tony, don't even get him started." "This song was playing in your car that entire weekend we all went down to Long Beach Island." "Remember Artie and Charmaine broke up for the first time?" "First of many." "She accused him of letting her drown in the ocean." "Remember that?" "That wave picked her up and slammed her down on her head in the sand?" "Oh my God, her around water." "And remember the time that she got cramps from eating that huge calzone?" "You had to go in after her." "She almost dragged you down by your hair." "Oh..." "Imagine that." "At one time you had enough hair that a woman could grab it with both her hands." "You're going to be fine, Tony." "I know it." "The doctors say you're going to be fine too." "They are very confident." "They know that you are really strong." "You're strong as a bull." "You know that that's always gotten to me." "When you used to pick me up and throw me over your shoulder... oh my God, Tony." "You used to get me so hot down there." "I can feel it right now just thinking about it." "You are going to be okay, Tony." "Your friends, your kids all love you." "A long time ago I told you you were going to go to hell when you died, when you had that MRI." "And you threw my words back at me when we got separated." "And you were right." "That was a horrible thing to say." "It's a sin, and I will be judged for it." "You're a good father." "You care about your friends." "Yes, it's been rough between us." "I don't know, our hearts get so hardened against each other." "I don't know why." "But you are not going to hell." "You're coming back here." "I love you." "Mr. Finnerty, sorry it took so long, but I saw some things on the CT scan I didn't like, which is why I ordered the MRI." "How long have I been here?" "In looking at your MRI, see these dark areas?" "These are parts of your brain that have been oxygen deprived." " Uh-huh." " Unfortunately, these are consistent" " with a diagnosis of Alzheimer's." " What?" "You're going to want to see a neurologist when you get home, but the radiologist here has seen the studies and he concurs." "Alzheimer's?" "I'm 46 years old." " I know." " What the hell?" "This goddamn miserable trip." "The good news is the treatment picture isn't quite as bleak as it would have been a while back." "It's a death sentence." "You're a smurf for 10 or 15 years and then you die shitting in your pajamas." "I know people with Alzheimer's." "Mr. Finnerty, talk to your own docs back home." "My name's not even Finnerty." "I lost my wallet and my briefcase, and I picked his up." "So you guys took out his insurance card from his wallet." " How's that float your boat?" " Well, what is your name?" "What does it matter?" "I'm not going to know myself soon." "You can rest here a while." "You're fine other than the minor concussion." "Fall like that could have broken your neck." "I'm lost." "AJ wanted to come but he got a really bad stomach flu from a burrito." "Law firm's being so understanding about me taking time off from my internship to be here." "Finn's coming out." "He really likes you." "I was reading this morning and I found this." "I want to share it with you." "By Jacques Prevert..." ""Our Father which art in Heaven, stay there, and we shall stay on Earth, which is sometimes so pretty."" "Look, I took some Pepto-Bismol." "How much do you know about the Prius?" "I could've been naked in here." "You need to familiarize yourself with hybrid cars, Meadow." "It's important." "This is the conversation of the future." "Why are you breaking my balls about hybrid cars?" "I don't give a shit." "I've been up all night." "Oh, you're tired?" "Poor you." "You never give two fucks about the environment." "Is that what's crawling up your butt?" "That I was at the hospital last night when you told Mom you'd come?" "I didn't say one word to you about it and neither did anyone else." "We're all so glad you fucking kicked your stomach flu, okay?" "I saw how you looked at my plate of food." "I can't eat at my own house?" "I wasn't looking at your plate." "It's all in your mind." "Don't you find this completely embarrassing?" "What?" "This, our family." "Our father gets shot by our goober fucking uncle?" " What is that?" " Yeah, it's embarrassing." "I don't want to think about what Finn's parents are saying." "I mean, I don't really give a shit about my friends." "They know what Dad does, but like, some of them remember Uncle Junior." "He was always a fucking mummy." " Why did Dad hang out with him?" " You know Dad." "He takes those things seriously, all the Italian family stuff." "Yeah, I got the big lecture." "Now look." "I know." "Look at these fucking reporters." "Hey!" "Fuck you!" "I'll be glad to sit with Tony." "Hospital rules, it's family only for now, but thank you." "Angie phoned." "Guess she's very busy over there with her body shop." " You want some grits?" " Huh-uh." "Oh, look who's here." "Hey Fabio, I'm available." "So what?" "Now there's an actual roster of who stays with Dad and when, and I'm not on it?" "Frankly, AJ, I didn't think you'd be interested." "I was sick and I've been trying to study, which is what everybody's usually hassling me about 24l7." "I guess there always has to be something, right?" "Come here and sit down, okay?" ""Studying." He goes clubbing in New York." "Well you cut him too much slack." "You still protect him." "I know he avoids Tony because he can't face seeing him like this." " It frightens him." " It frightens everybody." "He should get a pass?" "You know kids his age are getting blown up in Iraq." "You know something that's interesting?" "Janice noticed that when AJ talks about Tony's possibly not coming out of this, he can't even use the word "dad."" "He says "Anthony Soprano is not going to die."" "Well, that's a fascinating psychological nugget, but it don't change the fact that if that kid don't pull his end in this, he's never going to forgive himself and nobody else should either." "It's just that Tony has always loomed so large for AJ." "Well maybe it's just that AJ is a selfish boy who doesn't give a shit." "I'm sorry your son is no longer with us but don't use mine as a guinea pig for your ideas on parenting." "I never saw you take a hard line." "Why do you think I'm talking to you like this?" "The thing is, Tony has an open incision." "If you are there in the room and they change the dressing, it's very hard to take." "And I don't know that AJ should see that." "Hey!" "Get the fuck off the property!" "Hey!" "I warned you yesterday." "The curb line is your limit." "I know." "I know you hate it." "I'm not going to tell you what to do, Finn." "How would you describe your husband's relationship with his uncle?" "Were they close?" "You know of any issue they might have been having?" "I don't speak with Junior." "I haven't for years." "My husband knows how I feel and he never brought him up." "What was your conflict about?" "It's not something I'm going to discuss with you." "Your husband ever talk about Junior Soprano's mental state?" "You're flying full-fare coach?" "I did hear him telling other people how Junior was getting more and more confused... calling my husband Johnny, which was his father's name;" "resisting getting a haircut, that kind of thing." "You spoke with your husband what time of the night of the incident?" " L..." "I don't know." " I'm not bailing." "Meadow, could you?" " I'm just trying to understand." " Understand what?" "You're coming out from California to support me with my father being shot or because dental school is just sucking for you." "Both." "Is that so awful?" "If you have any more questions you're going to have to call my lawyer." "When he was taken into custody," "Junior made pointed references to the McGuire Sisters, Sam Giancana." " You mean the Kennedy assassination?" " Yeah." "You mean as related to this?" " I had to ask." " My husband was three years old." "Oh, I could sleep right here." "It's all right." "He'll be okay." "The Shelby GT 500?" "450 horsepower." "Oh baby, and this guy on campus has one?" "And the Mustang's not as expensive as the M3" "I used to talk about getting all the time." "Jennifer, another round when you get your chance." "Chris!" "Oh, Ahmed." "You guys here again?" "You ought to put up a tent on this fucking bar." "How's Tony?" "The girl said he was hurt pretty bad?" " He's keeping his dick up." " His uncle did this to him?" "I was saying to Muhammad, why the hell..." "Not something we talk about." "Please, give Tony our best when you talk to him." "I will." "Hey, Dad?" "I'm going to get Uncle Junior for this." "Don't worry." "I watched since I was little how nice you were to him." "And he doesn't just get to do this to you, put you in here and get away with it." "You're my dad." "And I'm going to put a bullet in his fucking mummy head." "I promise." "I can't believe we're not going to like, do stuff together again." "'Cause we will." "I'm positive." "Hey." "Hey." "How's he doing?" "Hi, Dad." "The doctor knows." "The Chinese guy." "He's calling the other guy to get permission to change the medications." "I'll stay if you want to pee or anything." "Hi." "How's he doing?" "They didn't come back with the fever medicine yet." "I'm so proud of you, AJ." "You can't imagine how much this means to your father." "Who knows what it means?" "He just lies there." "Well, it means a lot to me then, how about that?" "Thank you for doing it." "You've helped your family tremendously." "I flunked out of school." "I ended up with a 1.4 for the quarter and the freshman dean said there was no point in coming back." " With your father in a coma..." " I didn't tell Dad." " Be positive, everybody said." " My God." "I tried really hard in philosophy," " but that professor..." " With your father in a coma!" "Go have breakfast." "Anthony." "Anthony, can you hear us?" "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public." "The ancient Egyptians postulated seven souls." "The top soul and the first to leave at the moment of death is Ren:" "The Secret Name." "This corresponds to my Director." "He directs the film of your life from conception to death." ""The Secret Name" is the title of your film." "When you die, that's where Ren came in." "Second soul and second one off the sinking ship is Sekem:" "Energy, Power, Light." "The Director gives the orders," "Sekem presses the right buttons." "Number three is Khu:" "The Guardian Angel." "He, she or it is third man out." "Number four is Ba:" "The Heart... often treacherous." "Number five is Ka:" "The Double." "The Ka, which usually reaches adolescence at the time of bodily death, is the only reliable guide through the Land of the Dead." "Who's gonna live here?" "A family." "I'll have it finished by October." " I'm worried, Ade." " Everybody's worried." "No." "I am worried all the time." "Number six is Khaibit:" "The Shadow, Memory, your whole past conditioning from this and other lives." "Number seven is Sekhu:" "The Remains." "I'm halfway to China." "There's nothing here." "40,000 I had... my share of the Bohack's haul from the '70s." "Did you wrap it right?" "It gets moldy..." "it could've disintegrated." " Wrap what?" " The money." "He knows I need that money for my fucking retrial!" " Who?" " You know who." "No, I don't know who." "That's why I asked you." " Malanga." " Will you stop with that?" "Pussy Malanga's dead six years now." "I should dig him up already!" "Moles." "They chewing through your sprinklers too?" "40,000 I had... my share of the Bohack's haul from the '70s." "We'll look later." "You're gonna be late for your doctor's." "Come on." "Hello?" "Let me ask you something:" "Is your time more valuable than mine?" "Where's the baby?" "Sorry, Ton'." "The car seat, the other stuff... packin' it in there takes forever." "You probably remember that." "No, I don't." "I didn't do that crap." "How are you feeling, Uncle Jun', huh?" "He's late enough, Janice." "Come on." "A hello to your niece, maybe?" "Hi, sweetie." "How are you?" "Help him get ready, will you?" " Yeah." " Come on, Jun'." "So?" "How's he doing?" "He's Knucklehead Smith, that's how he's doing." "He's paranoid." "He doesn't remember whether he ate or not." "The man is not competent, Tony." " Not again, come on!" " He has the money for assisted living." "He's got legal bills up the ass." "He can sell this museum and move to Green Grove." "Fuck assisted living, okay?" "Remember what they did to Ma?" " She was thriving there, Tony." " He stays where he is, Janice." "He's our uncle." "It's the least we can do." "So the split, your friend in Jersey says it should be the same as the old business we do over there." "That's public works, this isn't." " I'll hold the line." " Don't turn it into World War III." "So day to day, how are you getting along with Tony?" "You asked me to bury the hatchet, John." "I'm doing it out of respect to you." "Am I still grieving over my brother Bill?" "Lt'll never go away." "I appreciate it, Phil." " With me in here..." " I hear you, John." "Your bride..." "she's a rock for you, kid." "Her brother's fitting me for contacts." "When the trial starts, I don't wanna be reading documents in the courtroom with glasses." "It looks weak." "Yes?" " Hey, Ton'." " Hey." "My sports book down in Roseville," "Bacala's still making things unpleasant." " God damn it." " Listen, Tony," "I got you something." "For you, Carm, the kids..." "David Yurman watches." "18-karat gold, diamond center." "Why do I get the feelin' there's a jeweler somewhere filing' an insurance claim today?" "Actually, that ain't what it is." " My Aunt Edie died." " No?" "That one that moved to California back in the '60s?" "She was a great lady, the only person in my life who ever made me feel special." "What are you gonna do?" "Anyway, the silver cloud is she did pretty well." "She was married to Victor Borge's agent." "She left me an inheritance, Ton'." "Just over two mil." " Whoa." " Yeah." "Well, congratulations." "Make sure you invest it." "Well, you know, that's kinda what I wanted to talk to you about." "Deanne and me and the kids, you know how much we love Florida, right?" "What, do you wanna put some money on the street down there?" "I was thinking about buying a place in Fort Myers." " Retiring there, actually." " Retiring?" "What, are you a hockey player?" "I'm gonna be 50 in three years, Ton'." "My dad died at 52." "You took an oath, Gene." "There's no retiring' from this." "Well, I thought about that, and there was Joe Bananas." "Come on, huh?" "What about your sports book, your other responsibilities?" "What am I supposed to do about those?" "Benny?" "We know Bobby wants it." "It's just... we go back a long way, Ton'." "Yeah, we do." "Fuckin' CYO Basketball, do you believe that?" "Lt'd mean a lot to me and Deanne." "Well, let me think about it." "Ooh, look at this one with the pool." "Yeah, we could go swimming." "Guess who's blocking the driveway again." "Did you talk to Tony?" "It looks good." "He gave me a hug." " Did he like the watches?" " Do I know my psychology?" "The realtor called." "She's e-mailing some pictures." " The one on River Road?" " The split level... the four-bedroom." "They lost the buyer?" "Hey, there he is." "Where are you goin'?" " Kevin's." " Who else is gonna be there?" " Gene." " I don't know." "What's with this hostility all the time?" "You want a smack in the mouth?" "I told you I'm not getting high anymore!" " I believe you." " Stop fucking touching me." "Watch your mouth in front of your sister!" "I have a right to know who your friends are!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Spicy shrimp hand roll, that's Nori's favorite, special yellowtail, toro scallion and oysters." "You tell me when you wanna stop." "Well, keep it comin'." "I don't know about you, but ever since we found this place," "I catch myself fantasizing about this." "Me too." "Sometimes during sex." "So I had a nightmare the other night." "Did I wake you up?" " No." " Ade was in the house, my spec house." "Was she gonna buy it?" "We were just talking." "Speaking of which, did you call that guy, the inspector at the building department?" " I will." "I promise." " He's coming on Friday, Tony." "That could be my last chance to get a reversal on the stop-work order." "All right, I'll call." "I wonder where she is." " Ade." " I told you, she probably met some guy." "And not call anyone for over a year?" "What's this, this sauce on the shrimp?" "Shiromi, tekka maki, salmon with tomato." "So I was over by Ginny's... that situation is not going so well." "Johnny cooped up and awaiting trial, plus now they're fighting an asset seizure." "They could lose everything..." "the house, the condo at the shore." "You know Jimmy Petrille, the rat that gave up John?" "He's like an uncle to him, his father's compare." "Why do you think I toss at night?" "Ain't just the apnea." "I noticed you haven't been taking your antidepressants." "And yet, the bonefish are back in season." "We should count our blessings, the kind of year I just had." "You're right." "We're very lucky." "$40 for a piece of fish they just flew in first class." "I think we're more than lucky." "Great food in there." "It's pretty good." "You wanna keep this baggie or shall I?" " Nah, you keep it for lunch." " Okay." "We're here." "Thanks for dinner, Hesh." "Grease is coming through the bag as usual." "Chinese food..." "it's part of the tradition." "What the..." "Whoa!" "Whoa!" "What the fuck is this?" "Come on, come on!" "Hey, where are you goin'?" "Get outta the car!" "Get outta here, get outta here!" " Take a hike, Jimmy." " Open up, Eli!" " Get out!" " Open the fucking door!" " Get outta here!" " What do you want me to do?" " I can't do anything!" " Fucking Jew!" " Let's go, old man!" " Open the fucking door!" "Holy shit, they're trying to burn us out!" " Open the fucking door!" " Get out, Hesh!" " Leave me alone!" " Jerry warned you, Eli!" "Jerry fucking told you to stay outta Brooklyn!" "What are you guys doin'?" "You're gonna kill this guy." "Fuck you, Grandpa!" "I tell you, one of the best things about dropping the weight, a whole new wardrobe." "I keep this up," "I'm gonna need Clothing Anonymous." "You should have called your sponsor before you bought that jacket." "Look at this guy." ""Members Only"?" "How long have you been wearing that?" "Cugino mio!" "You look sharp." "How do you feel?"

" Oh yeah." "What'd that prick want?" "Really something, isn't he, with that jerk-off face?" "The eyebrows..." "I fucking can't stand him." "I gotta tell you though, he surprised me." "He's acting boss, takes care of John's business, plus the wife while John's in jail." "No complaints." "He's real old school." "Gotta take my hat off." "Cocksucker wanted me killed?" "What's past is past." "Leave it alone." "Things are going good now." "You and Phil settle that office park shit?" "We said we'd revisit it." "Agent Harris, where've you been?" "I got some new federale in my rear view for six months." " Actually, I've been in Pakistan." " Get the fuck out." "Seriously." "I was transferred to terrorism." "This is my partner, Ron Goddard." "Tony Soprano." "The terrorist squad, huh?" " What, did you lose a little weight?" " Uh..." "You look good." "Atkins, right?" "I caught a parasite over there." "Doctors don't know what it is." " What do they eat, tabbouleh?" " Actually, that's why I'm here." "I've been dying for a Satriale's veal parm hero." "Fuck him." "I hope that parasite eats his asshole out." "I kinda feel bad for the guy." "Shit, when did this happen?" "Hold on." "Ton' just come in." "It's Hesh." "Yeah." "Here, honey." "It's ice." "Tony." "Thank you." "Hey." "Beth, how're you doin'?" "I've had better weeks." "Could you get me some coffee, sweetie?" " Anyone else?" " Hot water with lemon would be great." "My son-in-law and me, we're having dinner Sunday," "Chinese restaurant near Mill Basin, we get jumped by three guys in a Lexus." " Chinks did this?" " Are you trying to be fucking funny?" " You want a smack in the mouth?" " What?" "I was serious." "They're with your cousin Phil Leotardo." "I told you he was a prick!" " We were just with him." " Let him talk." "I got some money on the street over there." "Apparently, it got back to Phil's guy" " Gerry Torciano." " The Hairdo?" "He claims that he felt that Eli here was some independent shy trying to poach his customers." " Is that a fucking catheter?" " Massive internal bleeding, half his fucking skin is sheared off his hips." "My daughter's besides herself." "You send somebody to Brooklyn, and you talk to Phil" " about this mook, this..." " Gerry Torciano." "Sorry I yelled at you, kid." "I'm installing gable joists in the rotunda." "I'm afraid I'm gonna have to agree with the original assessment." "Oh, for the love of Mike!" "This is pine, sir..." "utility grade." "I know what it is." "I've been building houses for years." "Then you know that the code calls for Doug fir grade, stamped for all floor joists, ceiling joists, lintels and rafters." "Get Pudgie Walsh on the horn." "He'll straighten this out." "Pudgie Walsh retired, sir." " I'm affirming the stop-work order." " Oh, come on!" " Is there nothing else we can do?" " For God's sake!" "You can schedule a further appeal." "But if I were you," "I'd think about starting over with the proper lumber." "God, 15 times I asked you!" "Do you know what this does to my cost basis," " to start over with this?" " It's bureaucratic bullshit!" " In my day, they'd turn a blind eye." " I hired you to do a job!" "Hired?" "I'm not for hire." "You presented this like we were partners." " You don't listen to anybody, do you?" " Oh!" "To hell with this." "No good deed goes unpunished." "Artie." "Ho." "Menus." " Is that Phil?" " My wife." "What's it take to get that guy to return a phone call?" "I want this Hesh thing settled." "Gentlemen, start your engines." "Jesus Christ, Artie, I can recite that menu in my sleep." "Where did he get this bread, the bread museum?" "The antipaste?" "Fuckin' Phil." "Now I gotta go see the optometrist to get a message to John about this." "Go through Ginny's brother?" "He's a stunad of the first magnitude." "I need a back channel to John, obviously." "What the fuck is it?" "I can't catch a fucking break!" "This is Tony Soprano talking about the Angelo Giacolone murder." "The sound quality is not good, but I can back it up in court." "He said..." "You all right, Ton'?" "Yeah." "That formaldehyde smell..." "I knew this guy once, Vietnam vet." "He drank formaldehyde over there just to get high." "It's the alcohol." "Does he have to be here, your fucking AA sponsor?" "It ain't just that he helps me with the disease, T." "This guy is great at forging documents." " He was a good kid, Raymond." " The best." "At least he went fast." "Not like Dick Barone, poor fuck." " Dick Barone died?" " Lou Gehrig's disease." "Did you ever think what a coincidence it is that Lou Gehrig died of Lou Gehrig's disease?" "You gonna make that same stupid joke every time that comes up?" "Sorry." "Everything's so fucking morbid." "There's a man lying dead over there." "I'm gonna go smoke." " Hey, Tony." " Hey." "I don't know what I was thinking." "For you." "Your taste." "The inheritance." "I didn't want to say nothing, with your aunt and all, but this is thoughtful." " So that thing we spoke about..." " Still mulling it." "Yeah, whatever." "Sure." "All right." "All right." "Look at this guy." "Not a day over 76." " Fucking ballbreaker." " How are you, Rusty?" "Is Phil Leotardo here?" "'Cause I won't stay" " in the same room with that man." " I haven't seen him." "So you hear about that guy in Westchester?" "Fucking captain, doing his own radio broadcast the last three years." " W.R.A.T." " Jesus Christ, another one now?" "No wonder the papers are calling this "The Year of the Rat."" "Standup guys like that, they're a dying breed." "Amen to that." "What can you do?" "Anyway, let me go pay my respects." "All right, Rusty." " You okay?" " I gotta get out of here." "He's thinking about it." "What do you want me to tell you?" "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." "All I'm saying is, he has to see this is a huge opportunity for us." "Give the man time to process." "Oh my God, this eel is delicious." "Okay, Spanish mackerel now." "Can I get another sake, hon'?" "Listen, I got some stuff I gotta take care of." "You okay to drive yourself home?" "I don't have my car, Tony." "Oh, yeah." "So take this one." " Hey, Mrs. S." " What is this?" "Oh my God." "Is this the new Porsche?" "Cayenne Turbo." "I got the 4.5" " Liter V-8." "Wasn't sure about the color, so I took a shot." "Tony, I love it." "It's gorgeous!" "I still wish you'd talked to that guy at the building department, but oh my God!" "What a car!" "Ho, Joe College, where's your mother?" "She went to the outlet stores with Aunt Ro." "Is that the jacket we got you for Christmas?" "I'm lending it to Matt." "Hey, how was the interview for the internship?" "Got moved to next week." "Would you mind keeping me in the loop, though, since it was" " my lawyer that set it up, huh?" " Okay." " Matt don't have his own clothes?" " He's borrowing it for a party." "Oh, good." "You'll never see it again." "You have such a low opinion of people." "Let me tell you something, AJ." "I don't care how close you are, in the end, your friends are gonna let you down." "Family." "They're the only ones you can depend on." "He was vital, my uncle, alive." "For all his faults, he was sharp in his day." "But now..." "We stopped at a light yesterday, and I see this nanny, black girl, pushing a baby carriage." "Coming the other way, there's another one with this old lady in a wheelchair" " staring off into space." " 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?" " In 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?" " If 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." "In 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." "How is Ginny?" "Carmela says she's got her hands full." "The kid has the weight of the world on her." "Ray-Bans." "Classic, affordable." "I just put those on special." "You got something a little more current?" "Like those." "Armanis." "Flexible acetate frames, rimless lenses." "You know what?" "I left my wallet in the car." "I'll catch you next time." "Some people from the IRS came by." "They want to inventory the entire house." "Maybe I should sell the car, at least get some liquidity out of it." "The Maserati?" "Can't say I disagree." "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." "Is 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." "Is 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." ""If 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 AJ." "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!" "Is 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." "It's probably salespeople." " I know who it is!" " Pussy Malanga, I know." "We'll get J. Edgar Hoover right on it." "I'll tell you what, you go upstairs, you look for your teeth." "I'm gonna fix you something to eat, okay?" "I had a banana in there." "All right, we'll find that too." "I got it." "We buy a vacation place in Florida, a condo." "It's not the same." "I make another run at Tony" " six months, a year from now." " A year?" " You can go ahead even." " What?" "And let me tell you, a year, two years from now everything could be different." "Tony could be gone." " I, uh..." " Go ahead." "His master's voice." "Yeah?" "Now?" "!" " Gene, this is Agent Sanseverino." " Hello." "Where've you been, buddy?" "Haven't heard from you lately." "Busy, you know." "My kid has some problems." "That's rough." "The thing is, Geno, you gotta keep in touch with me." "You have a chance to help in more important ways." " What do you mean?"
