Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [while in the Bada Bing strip club] you said you wanted to go home
Silvio Dante : actually, I've been hanging around on purpose. I gotta talk to you
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : about what?
Silvio Dante : look, I've been your Consigliere for a lot of years...
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [interrupts him] don't go into the preambles, just tell me what's on your mind?
Silvio Dante : you got some unhappy people out there
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [surprised] no shit
Silvio Dante : not just the young guys. I'm talking about guys that's been with you since the beginning, guys that worked for your father
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : fuckin Paulie, right?
Silvio Dante : [not wanting to name names] nah, I'm not saying nothing
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : then God damn him
Silvio Dante : these guys will do whatever you order
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : except in this case
Silvio Dante : don't say it like that
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : forget that Tony Blundetto is my cousin, I give him up, we can give the whole fuckin "thing" up!
Silvio Dante : here's where the conversation gets "difficult"
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : go
Silvio Dante : all due respect, you were ready to hand in your cousin a week ago. So, it's not about standing with the guys, or upholding some rules, not really
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : then what's it all about, why don't you "illuminate" me?
Silvio Dante : it's about you eating shit from John, you don't wanna "bow down." You told him to go fuck himself which to be honest, wasn't exactly "appropriate"
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [sarcastically] oh, is that right?
Silvio Dante : all due respect
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [irritated] what the fuck do you know what goes on inside my head?
Silvio Dante : I've known you since you were a kid. Frankly, you got a problem with authority. This attitude of yours, it's a lot of what's made you an effective leader. We all got flaws, even you, seven deadly sins, and yours is... pride
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [pulls his chair closer to Sil] all due respect, you got no fuckin idea what it's like to be Number One. Every decision you make affects every facet of every other fuckin thing. It's too much to deal with almost. And in the end, you're completely alone with it all
Silvio Dante : I'm sorry you feel that way
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : this is the "course" I've chosen and those of you that are not with me on it, well that makes me sad and it'll be dealt with in time
