"In your relationship with these men you have replaced your father with your brother as a figure of authority that you need to prove something to."

"And make them do whatever we want." " That doesn't sound like a slave trader?" " George Washington had slaves." " The father of our country." " Well, what's your point?" "His history teacher, Mr. Cushman, is teaching your son that if Columbus was alive today, he would go on trial for crimes against humanity, like Miloševic in, you know, Europe." " Your teacher said that?" " It's not just my teacher, it's the truth." "It's in my history book." " You finally read a book and it's bullshit." " Tony." "You have to walk in columbus' shoes to see what he went through." "People thought the world was flat, for crying out loud." "Then he lands on an island with savages on it." "That took a lot of guts." "You remember when we went to Florida?" "The heat?" "And those bugs?" "Like it took guts to murder people." " He was a victim of his time." " Who cares?" "It's what he did." "He discovered America, is what he did." "He was a brave Italian explorer." "And in this house Christopher Columbus is a hero." "End of story." "I should've known."

"My youth, my looks, they're gone." "No." "That's from not taking care of yourself." " Dwelling on all this stuff." " It's not stuff." "Do you have any idea what it feels like?" "Do you?" "It's not stuff." "It's death, it's pain." "I'm having a lot of trouble dealing with this." " I don't know." " You don't know what?" "I don't think I can do this." "I don't think I can help you."

"let's be realistic." " Let's be realistic?" "What?" "You wanna leave me?" "Yeah." "Then get the fuck out." " It doesn't have to be like this." " How should it be?" "How the fuck should it be?" "Somehow Carmine found out we were flipping properties so your take's a little less than we talked about." "He makes an issue out of Zellman?" " What's this one called, Hesh?" " This is Pie-O-My." "Just broke her maiden at Belmont last month." "A lot of speed." " I'm buying her." " Cool, man." " She's beautiful, huh?" " That's right." "Don't you know somebody over there at Deerpark Casino in Connecticut run by the Mohonk tribe?" " Yeah, Marty, my niece's husband." "This Columbus Day protest, we need to make it go away." "What's wrong with freedom of speech?" "You should hear my kid." "He calls Columbus a murderer." " They wiped out my people." " Cubans are from Spain." "Strictly speaking, they were Taino Indians who got raped by Columbus." "That's right, Reuben." "Melanzane got Martin Luther King Day." " I have sympathy for the red man." " Why is that?" "Jews, because of their history, have common cause with the oppressed." "Some Indians were deliberately given blankets tainted with smallpox." "Died like flies." " No shit?" " Yeah, shit." "Yeah?" "You wanna talk bioterrorism?" "Look who started it." " Amen to that, my friend." " That's right." "Christopher Columbus was no better than Adolf Hitler." "Back up." "Hitler?" "Yeah." "I'm not the only one who thinks so." "Yeah, that Indian from the protest who was whining about the wilderness they had him on TV and he called Columbus Hitler." " Because it's true, man." " You're talking out of your ass." "Columbus and Hitler?" "You're trivializing the Holocaust." "Frankly, Reuben, if you got that kind of covert anti-Semitism I'd like you to leave my house." " Anti-Semitism?" " That's right." "Fuck you too, my man!" "Guys, come on." "Reuben, Hesh, you guys have been friends for years." "I'll call Marty up in connecticut." "He knows a big Mohonk." "That cocksucker." "We're not tired." "I didn't spill food because I'm tired." "Don't argue, okay?" "Listen to your Aunt Grace and Aunt Mary." "Do what they say." " Say good night to your Aunt Carmela." " Good night, Aunt Carmela." " It's great your family could come." " They're leaving tomorrow." " Somebody's sick up there." " Dad?" "Dad?" "Dad, Sophia locked the door." "Should I get that?" "He takes all my pencils." " Baccalieri residence." " Carmela, is that you?" " It's corrado." " Oh, hello." "How's my boy Bobby doing?" "He knows I couldn't make it to the services." " All right." "He's upstairs with the kids." " What a heartbreak, huh?" "You know, I remember the first time I met her like it was yesterday." "It was my birthday dinner at Roman Gardens." "I'll never forget it." "She said I looked like Pablo Picasso." "And I didn 't even know what Picasso looked like." "One day she showed me a picture of him, and you know, she was right." "That's very touching." "Let me get Bobby." "I just wanna know if he's gonna pick me up for court tomorrow." "Maybe you should let Bobby be." "Think about his needs instead of your own." "It's not me." "Please, don't villainize me here." "Murf goes to bed early, so I wanted to call him now if I need him to drive me." "I don't wanna disturb him when he's asleep." "He's an old man, for God's sakes." "Stella!" "What the fuck are you doing?" "We don't have to hide, baby." "I did it!" "I told Ro." " Told her about us?" " No." "No, no, no." "I told her I didn't wanna be with her anymore, and I left!" "Now I can devote myself to you completely." "Now there can be no more fear no more guilt." " Just sex." " Yeah." "Yeah." " You know what I want." " Yeah, you want it all, don't you?" "Oh, yeah." "You need me, slut." "I need it all, baby." "Oh, shit!" "Oh, shit, tonight's my night." "I gotta bring food over to Bobby Bacala's." "You're on ziti patrol too?" "Ro's got Thursdays." "Well, what should I do?" "You could do me a solid, Tony." "Next time you see Hesh, remind him my granddaughter's bat mitzvah present doesn't really work." "The bubble jet printer." "I don't like to keep hocking him." "He knows about it." "He said he lost the sales slip." "So, Marty, where is this guy?" "There he is." "What'd I say?" "Right on cue." "Chief!" " Where, behind the preppy guy?" " That's him." "Chief, I'd like to introduce you to my friends, Silvio Dante, Tony Soprano." "The guy I was telling you about." "Chief Doug Smith." "Tribal chairman of the Mohonk Indians and CEO of Mohonk Enterprises." " An honor." " Thanks for coming all the way here." "I had business in Manhattan anyway." "Not again." "Would you bring the gentleman a Ketel One up, please?" "So, chief, he told you about the shit going down in Newark?" "Small element, ruins it for the rest of us." "I've got a quarter-billion-dollar casino and a huge Italian-American customer base." "Providence, East Boston." "Good people." "Our part of the world." "We're closer than Atlantic city." "This is a brand-new facility, state of the art." "This fucking protest, they're burning Columbus in effigy down there." " They're gonna lay down in the parade." " That's not gonna happen." "People like Redclay, they're out of touch." "They're in their ivory towers." "They don't understand the economic opportunity that funds the community."

"Well, no offense, chief, but you don't look much like an Indian." "Frankly, I passed most of my life as white until I had an awakening and discovered my Mohonk blood." "My grandmother on my father's side, her mother was a quarter Mohonk." "This happened when the casino bill got passed, right?" " Better late than never." " Mohonk if you love columbus." "Sorry I didn't make it last night." "My Bible group had a potluck for the homeless and I was on clean-up crew, so..." "Food, food, like that solves all the world's problems." "Bobby, we've been neighbors." "I know that we don't talk much, but if you want to, I'm here for you." "What is it?" "That day when she had the accident I was stuck in traffic." "My son called because Karen wanted me to pick up steaks and eggplants." "And I was mad at her for sending me." "I was tired." "I was mad at her." "But I was stuck in traffic because of her accident." "She was up the road ahead of me lying in twisted metal." "But I didn't know, and I could've been with her." "I should've been there to help her." "But I was mad at her." "Oh, my sweet Karen." "My sweet girl." "Pass me the peppers." "Hello?" "Oh, yeah, just a second." "Ton, it's the Indian chief." " Doug, how are you?" " Tony, I wish I had better news." "I struck out." "Redclay didn't go for it." "Ask about the Iron Eyes Cody thing." "Pretended he didn't know me." "You believe the son of a bitch?" "Ask him about Cody." " You ask about Iron Eyes Cody?" " He didn't give a shit." "It was some Internet rumor." "Most Native Americans, they don't give a fuck." "It's like knowing James caan isn't Italian." "All right, well, it was nice meeting you, and I appreciate the effort." "You gotta let me make it up to you." "Come on up, spend a day." "Sil, whoever you want." "High-rollers room, everything comped." " Sure, that sounds good." " Great." "What the fuck did he say about Iron Eyes Cody?" "Ralphie had it all fucked up." "It don't mean nothing anyway, because it's like knowing James caan isn't Italian." "We think this guy Redclay's fucking a graduate student." " We hire a detective..." " I think it's over, Sil." " Yeah, but all we gotta..." " It's over." "He had just lost his wife." "And he had so much sadness, you know?" "So much love for her, such complete and pure emotion." "I felt unworthy to even be in his presence." "I was so moved by him." "And then I look at Ralphie." "You saw in this man the things that you want in your life." "Truth." " Love." " Yes."
