- Look at her face! She's got a fucking smile on her face!
- All right, that's enough!

- What? You hiding back here?
- Your best friend's on table 12.
- When are you gonna Bury the hatchet?
- Arthur, I love carmela like a sister.
- We just don't want this place to become another mob hangout.
- A certain amount of that kind of patronage creates buzz.
- Artie, that kind of buzz we should avoid in droves.

- He asks for a meeting to discuss shit we covered. He's wearing a wire.

EMT: Look she can't answer you, her speech side has been affected.
Tony: Yeah, my ass! I heard the tapes, Ma. The fucking FBI tapes, don't tell me you don't know what I'm talking about!
EMT: Sir!
Tony: George Clooney, don't get in the fucking middle of this!
Ms. Giaculo: Alonzo, call security!
Tony: [to Livia] Uncle June is in jail now. And I got one more little last detail I gotta take care of!
Ms. Giaculo: Mr. Soprano!
Tony: I gotta tell ya, I don't die that fucking easy, Ma! I'm gonna live a nice long happy life, which is more than I can say for you!
EMT: Alright that's enough!
Tony: Yeah?
[Tony knocks the man to the floor and Livia is wheeled off]
Ms. Giaculo: Keep her moving, keep her moving!
Tony: I try and do the right thing by you and you try and have me WHACKED?
Ms. Giaculo: She can't understand you!
Tony: [being restrained] SHE'S SMILING! LOOK AT THE LOOK ON HER FACE! Look at the look on her face! She's smiling! Look at her face! She's got a fucking smile on her face!

Paulie: Mingia, T. I'm sorry. Your own uncle.
Tony: Let's do it right. Act normal. Plan things out. Make no mistakes.
Paulie: If I'm your uncle, I got to finish what I started. He could strike first.
Christopher: And, this time, he won't use Boyz II Men.

U.S. Attorney: You prefer Corrado or Junior?
Corrado: I prefer Mr. Soprano.
U.S. Attorney: Your tenure as boss was a short one. Actually, it was unusual in several ways. Let me put this to you as simply as I can. You can avoid sentencing on these charges if you will testify that in fact, you were not the boss of North Jersey, that in fact, your nephew Anthony Soprano was and is. That he de facto controlled your capos with the backing of two of the New York families communicating through their emissary, John Sacrimoni. We want Johnny Sack. But more than him, we want Mangano and Teresi.
Corrado: I want to fuck Angie Dickinson, let's see who gets lucky first.

Artie: [about Tony] I don't just hate this man. I hate all men.

- Come on, come on! Inside!
- He better be open!
- Forget the umbrella, come on!

- Tony?
- What did he do now?
- You don't blame him for setting the fire?
- Well, you're a bigger man than some.
- Well, we should all be grateful...
- That nobody was incinerated to death.

Tony: Okay. I need to tell you something and I want you to hear it from me, not from some asshole on the street. About four, five months ago I started seeing a psychiatrist. I was passing out, and they couldn't find nothing. She's been helping me with that... Okay, c'mon, give it to me. Give it to my face. C'mon.
Silvio: Well, I'm sure you did it with complete discretion. And speaking for Pussy, if he's still alive, I'm sure he would agree.
Tony: Business was not discussed, no names were mentioned. Junior knows. He's decided to use it against me. Ask now. 'Cause we're not discussing this again.
Paulie: It's not the worst thing I ever heard. I was seeing a therapist myself about a year ago. I had some issues. Enough said. I learned some coping skills.
Silvio: Look, this thing of ours, the way it's going, it'd be better if we could admit to each other these painful, stressful times. But it'll never fucking happen.
Tony: What about you? You got a problem with this?
Christopher: It's like marriage counseling?
Tony: Yeah. Like that. Sort of, yeah.

- I swear on my mother.

- Relax!
- What are you doing here?
- Putting the stugots in the Marina next door.
- Look at this baby I caught off the point here.

- You were positioned to take the hits, and now you have.
- The question is, how long you gonna keep eating shit?
- You're 70 years old.
- How many years you got left?
- My nephew running things?
- Not that stronzo.
- Not in this life.
