- [about Christopher]
- Richie Aprile: The attitude on that camel-nose fuck. He ever lays his hand on my niece again I'm gonna tear him apart piece by piece.
- Matthew Bevilaqua: Camel nose! You can't make that shit up.
- Richie Aprile: What the fuck are you talking about? I just did. Did you ever notice he's the only motherfucker who can smoke a cigarette in the rain with his hands tied behind his back? That nose is like a natural canopy.
- Christopher Moltisanti: Adriana, I want you to marry me. I got you a ring, and everything...
- [shows her the ring]
- Liz La Cerva: There was a robbery at Tiffany's, this morning! I bet you there's pieces of broken glass in it!
- Tony Soprano: It's Tuesday three o'clock so we've got to talk about something ok? Spin the wheel", here's something that's been bothering me I gave my daughter a car
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Really?
- Tony Soprano: Yeah a used car, one of those SUV's, a 92 pathfinder. The thing is that it belonged to a friend of hers from school and it came into my possession incurred of a debt by the kid's father and this is the way he elected to make payment
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: You gave your daughter her friend's car?
- Tony Soprano: It was a nice, safe, car to which I had the pink slip
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: What's bothering you?
- Tony Soprano: I must've known that she'd known it was her friend Eric's car and how I got it and she'd freak out
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Then why did you give it to her?
- Tony Soprano: I don't know, I mean for all these years I've been shielding her and protecting her from certain "truths" so now I want to rub her nose in it.
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Any thoughts on that?
- Tony Soprano: This kid's father, his fuckin degenerate gambler but his also a respected business man in the community and everything that goes along with that
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: One of your "Happy "wanders"
- Tony Soprano: How do you remember this shit?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: [Smiles, remains silent]
- Tony Soprano: So it becomes my fault he lost his kid's car? I've got to look out for him because his a sick bastard? My friend Artie Bucco got a restaurant right? Now believe me no one's telling him to refuse a plate a fettuccine to a guy that's eating himself to death
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Maybe that's what you were saying to your daughter
- Tony Soprano: What?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: By giving her the SUV, wanting her to confront some of these "moral ambiguities"
- Tony Soprano: [Implying that he doesn't understand her terminology] English
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Meadow's going to be going away to college next year
- Tony Soprano: Yeah that's why she needs the car
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: "Leaving the nest"
- Tony Soprano: Not those fuckin ducks again
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Maybe you were preparing her for the reality of teaching her to "fly"?
- Tony Soprano: You know your people are something, I gave my little girl a car to rub her face in shit and you're telling me I did something noble?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: We're getting to something here
- Tony Soprano: [Realizing she's right] time's up
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Look, we still have time and we're doing good work, what? You feel you're cured?
- Tony Soprano: Alright, I'll sit here but I got nothin else to say
- Carmela Soprano: [during family dinner, to Tony] while you were sleeping, we found out Hunter Scangarelo got into Reed College
- Meadow Soprano: [to her mother, irritated] can't you be happy for Hunter? Reed was her first choice: she'd die if she didn't get in. Why do you always think everything has something to do with me?
- A.J. Soprano: because you didn't get in anywhere
- Carmela Soprano: [after chastising AJ for insulting his sister] nobody has heard anything for months: Hunter took early acceptance so she found out early, what that means is she could only apply to that one college. Your sister, on the other hand, gave herself a lot of options such as Bowdoin, Holy Cross, Georgetown...
- Meadow Soprano: you know Georgetown is a total reach for me
- Carmela Soprano: oh, please they'd be crazy not to want you
- Meadow Soprano: if I can in there, I can probably get into Berkeley?
- Tony Soprano: over my dead body
- Meadow Soprano: there are more Nobel Prize winners in the San Francisco Bay area than any other area on the planet
- Tony Soprano: Nobel Prize for what? Packing Fudge? Look, you know you can go anywhere you want to go to college but I'll tell you where I'm not gonna pay for, and that's Berkeley
- A.J. Soprano: I want to go to Harvard or West Point
- Tony Soprano: well, you might get to see them on television but that's about it: you wanna go to college like those, you gotta crack the books
- Carmela Soprano: [referring to their daughter's main choice on where to go to college] What is this obsession with Berkley? What? Is she trying to get away from us?
- Tony Soprano: Absolutely: that's her job
- Carmela Soprano: Go ahead, laugh. What are you gonna do if she gets into Berkley and not into Notre Dame and Georgetown?
- Tony Soprano: She's in the National Honor Society for Christ's sake
- Carmela Soprano: Don't be naïve, please? How do you think Hunter Scangarelo got into Reed College? Her uncle. That's how, him and his wife are graduates
- Tony Soprano: That little freak show isn't gonna get into college anyway
- Carmela Soprano: Second Baby Boom: grades, great SAT scores, it's not enough anymore, it's all who you know and how many buildings you give
- Tony Soprano: What'd you want me to do, huh?
- Matthew Bevilaqua: [while inside the Bada Bing strip club, shakes his head] This is fucked
- Sean Gismonte: What?
- Matthew Bevilaqua: This, us. Look at us, we look like two fuckin scared rabbits... douche bags
- Sean Gismonte: Don't say that
- Matthew Bevilaqua: For Christ's sake, look at reality, we're at the "low end", buying fish, punching safes, what is that? And for what?
- Sean Gismonte: We're just getting started, that's what you do
- Matthew Bevilaqua: We've got stockbroker licenses, I went to Pace College
- Sean Gismonte: [after thinking it over] Fuck, it's true huh?
- Matthew Bevilaqua: We're fucked
- Sean Gismonte: We gotta do something to get ahead in this world
- Adriana La Cerva: [after having sexual intercourse] Jesus mother fucking Christ
- Christopher Moltisanti: [while holding a cigarette] You want one?
- Adriana La Cerva: no, I'll have a puff of yours
- Christopher Moltisanti: Oh man
- Adriana La Cerva: I know
- Christopher Moltisanti: [referring to their sexual performance] If I knew it was getting better and better, I would've asked you to marry me sooner
- Adriana La Cerva: [before playfully pinching him] It wasn't always good?
- Adriana La Cerva: Christopher...
- Christopher Moltisanti: What?
- Adriana La Cerva: [referring to her engagement ring] Nothing, I just love my ring
- Christopher Moltisanti: [referring to Tony] I was right: he set me straight with that shit he said to me. No more distractions... focus, no drugs "Eyes on the prize." I'm back on track, I'm rededicating myself right down to the line
- Adriana La Cerva: I don't know why we always fight
- Christopher Moltisanti: It's my fault, I don't "communicate" my "needs"
- Adriana La Cerva: We waste so much time fighting
- Christopher Moltisanti: Your right
- Adriana La Cerva: Let's not... I love you so much
- Christopher Moltisanti: I love you too
- Richie Aprile: [to Paulie and Silvio when they arrive to see him] Sit down for Christ's sake
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: I wanna talk to you about Beansie Gaeta
- Silvio Dante: You know he may never walk again
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [to Silvio] Never say never
- Richie Aprile: [to both of them] No, say never. He's a shopping cart from here on out
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: He gets home from rehab soon, poor motherfucker: you should help him out
- Richie Aprile: [confused] Help him out?
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: You should build him a ramp on his house: for the wheelchair
- Silvio Dante: You can make the place Whatchamacallit... handicapped assessable?
- Richie Aprile: Maybe when I'm over there, I can fuck his wife?
- Silvio Dante: Come on Richie, you're a fuckin captain now. So, you assert a little pressure, call that nephew of yours Vito and the other one. They're in the building trades, aren't they?
- Richie Aprile: Wait, are you fuckin serious?
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Richie, it's a gesture. The man has a lot of friends
- Richie Aprile: You're out of your fuckin minds
- Silvio Dante: Don't take that attitude Richie
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [sternly] Hey, your gonna build Beansie a ramp
- Richie Aprile: I'll build a ramp up to your ass
- Carmela Soprano: [over the phone] hi, how are you?
- Jeanie Cusamano: listen, I spoke to my sister about the letter of recommendation for Meadow and she's sorry, she just can't do it... I'm sorry
- Carmela Soprano: she can't? Why not?
- Jeanie Cusamano: well because she already wrote a letter for someone else: a wonderful Dominican from the housing projects, with a 5.2 average and a crack addict mother with Cerebral palsy
- Carmela Soprano: so, what does that mean? She can't send two?
- Jeanie Cusamano: did you think about asking one of the priests at the church? A letter from Father Intintola would "probably" mean more I bet? Especially at Georgetown. I gotta go, bye, good luck
- Carmela Soprano: [surprising her in her backyard] Jeanie, hi, you're putting your roses to bed huh?
- Jeanie Cusamano: Carmela, hi
- Carmela Soprano: I haven't seen you in spinning class lately and I went by and couple times and ran your bell couple times but you weren't home either
- Jeanie Cusamano: really?
- Carmela Soprano: [referring to Jeanie's identical twin sister] The other day I'm at the Willow Brook mall and I see you going on the down escalator and I'm yelling "Jeanie, Jeanie," and that's when I realized it was your sister: didn't she go to Georgetown?
- Jeanie Cusamano: [listing her sister's credentials with the university] Georgetown Law, Georgetown Law Review, Regional Secretary of the Georgetown Alumni Association of Short Hill
- Carmela Soprano: Because you know my Meadow applied to Georgetown? And I am hoping and praying to Jesus that she gets in, she keeps talking about Berkley
- Jeanie Cusamano: College already huh? They get big so fast
- Jeanie Cusamano: [after looking at her watch] Oh God, is that the time?
- Carmela Soprano: I need to ask you a favor. I was wondering if you would ask your sister to write Meadow a letter of recommendation? Is that too forward?
- Jeanie Cusamano: Well, she doesn't really know Meadow
- Carmela Soprano: but you do and you can give her Meadow's transcripts, which are excellent by the way: her paper on the melting icecaps made me cry, it was so poignant. It was published in the Daily Caduceus
- Jeanie Cusamano: My sister... she's so busy
- Carmela Soprano: Really? Is there's any way you can find yourself to help me out here?
- Jeanie Cusamano: I'll ask
- Jeanie Cusamano: [after knocking and entering her office] Hi
- Joan: Oh my God, did we have a lunch? I'm rushing out the door to a deposition
- Jeanie Cusamano: I was in the neighborhood
- Joan: Downtown Newark?
- Jeanie Cusamano: [referring to making a mistake] I think I goofed, I don't know how I got into this conversation but Carmela Soprano from next door, trapped me and asked me if I'd ask you to write her daughter a letter of recommendation to Georgetown
- Joan: [surprised] The gangster's wife?
- Jeanie Cusamano: I'm sorry... she just blindsided me in the backyard, what I suppose to say?
- Joan: That I'm busy, which I am, that I don't even know the girl
- Jeanie Cusamano: Come on, you met Meadow, Fourth of July barbeque
- Joan: That's not what I mean: you can't expect me to do this
- Jeanie Cusamano: It's just a letter. Bruce just wrote one to UVM, you do it all the time
- Joan: Bring gangsters onto the Georgetown campus? I don't think so
- Jeanie Cusamano: [irritated] Oh, spare me the elitist bullshit, they're my neighbors
- Joan: Have you lost your mind?
- Jeanie Cusamano: Carmela asked me
- Joan: what're you frightened? What'd you think they're going to do? Put you in cement boots over some college applications?
- Jeanie Cusamano: It's not that: it's a question of manners, what am I supposed to say?
- Joan: That I'm writing a letter of recommendation for someone else, which I am. A wonderful young Dominican boy from the projects with a 5.2 average, I have a reputation to protect
- Jeanie Cusamano: I knew you wouldn't do it
- Joan: You want to be a doormat for the rest of your life? Just deal with it ok?
