Tony: My son, has panic attacks, now obviously we can't send him to military school, pediatrician said, his got that putrid rotten fuckin Soprano gene
Dr. Jennifer Melfi: It's a slight tick in his Fight-or-flight response, it doesn't "brand" him as anything
Tony: You know it comes down through the ages because I remember hearing about my great, great, great grandfather, drove a mule cart over a mountain road. He was transporting these valuable jugs of olive oil, and has a panic attack
Dr. Jennifer Melfi: When you blame your genes, your really blaming yourself and that's what we should be talking about

Tony: [Interrupts her] his just going to march around a little bit
Major: I wouldn't get too hung up on the marching aspect, its part of it but it's nothing compared to the mentoring that comes through small class size, faculty involvement, and dorm life
Carmela: Well, that sounds wonderful certainly
Major: We've created too many options for our kids you can't blame them for being confused and when things go wrong we file them off to the ever burgeoning for profit substance recovery industry
Tony: This "Army of One" thing, what happens when each army of one decides "fuck it I'm not going over the top of the fox hole" or blew the lieutenant's head off? Because they've been told "be an army of one"
Major: I would submit Audie Murphy was an army of one
Carmela: [to Tony] is that what we're preparing him for? A career in the military?
Tony: No, no
Major: One day at a time

- I'm so sorry about your brother.
- You remember my cousin,
- MacKenzie trucillo?
- Oh, my god.
- Sweetheart, let's sit down.
- Come on, sit.
- It's all right.
- Sit down.
- It's okay.

Major: [First meeting privately without AJ's parents] stealing an exam that's quite a personal defeat isn't it?
A.J. Soprano: It was wrong
Major: That sounds pre-programmed. Is that how you saw your future self? When you were a younger man? A cheat?
A.J. Soprano: No
Major: How'd you explain it?
A.J. Soprano: There's like all this academic pressure about getting into college, my school their like obsessed
Major: Is "like academic pressure" or academic pressure?
A.J. Soprano: There's all this pressure, my parents too. My sister goes to Columbia and I know my parents expect me to go
Major: Around here we call that "stinking thinking" precisely the same as an alcoholic. No one puts that drink to his lips but himself
A.J. Soprano: I'm not an alcoholic
Major: How do we do things different here at HMI than at your former school?
A.J. Soprano: I don't know
Major: Well, I realize you don't know I'm about to tell you. At your school and it's not a bad school your right there's too much emphasis on what's good for you. What's good for Johnny, what's good for Janie? Here, the higher good is the corps as general MacArthur said in his farewell address at the Point: "the corps, the corps, the corps."
A.J. Soprano: [Nods]
Major: [while pointing to a blackboard listing their daily schedule] now how do we achieve this revolutionary change in thinking on your part? Cadet corps has first call in formation at O' five thirty each day, march in formation to first mess to O' six twenty, followed by dorm inspection O' seven hundred, classes to O' eight hundred to fourteen forty, athletic formation fifteen hundred except Thursdays, which is "drill" or "commander's time", nineteen hundred to twenty-one hundred is evening study time, taps lights out: twenty-two hundred hours what's missing? Give up? Television
A.J. Soprano: What's O' five thirty mean?
Major: 5:30AM
Major: [after AJ rolls his eyes] I just outlined for you a blue print for total self discipline that will take you through your entire life and that's your only question?
A.J. Soprano: Why do guys in the army, or like spies use that "O" thing to tell time?
Major: That will be abundantly made clear to you, for now we have an expression around here: keep it simple
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [as AJ walks down the stairs in a military uniform] oh, Sgt. Bilko
Carmela: [Chastising him for teasing AJ] Tony
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Your right. I'm sorry. You shouldn't get too gloomy about this
Carmela: [Admiring him his appearance] My God Anthony, you know what? You look very handsome
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: She's right. You do
A.J. Soprano: Yeah, right
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [Referring to the slang term for the latissimus dorsi muscles] No, I'm serious. Tight suit like that shows off your lats
Carmela: Put on the hat?
A.J. Soprano: No way
Carmela: Please? You look so cute at the store
A.J. Soprano: They're not going to sew the hat
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Put the hat on for your mother
A.J. Soprano: No!
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [Quickly stands up from the couch] what'd you say?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [after AJ put on the hat] Now, look at that. I'm serious you look very impressive
Carmela: My God, if I wasn't already married
A.J. Soprano: [after looking at himself in the mirror] I look like a total jerk-off
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: You do not. What're you crying?
A.J. Soprano: I don't want to go there
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: You need toughing up
Carmela: [while trying to adjust the bottom of his slacks] stand up straight
A.J. Soprano: I'm standing fuckin straight
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [Pointing at him] hey, you keep it up God damn it!
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [while reading through military school brochures during dinner] now this I like, "Highly Structured Environment."
Carmela: Which one is that?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: H.M.I. Hudson Military Institute: "A Second Century of Excellence."
A.J. Soprano: I never said I was going
Carmela: We're just looking honey
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: We're looking, and then your going
Carmela: [Answering the phone when it rang] hello? Oh, hi Marie, no, oh my God. Where's Rosalie?
Marie: She's right here, she can't come to the phone
Carmela: Tell her I'll be there as soon as I can
Carmela: [after hanging up] oh my God
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: What is it?
Carmela: Jackie Jr. was shot to death in the Boonton projects by drug dealers.
Carmela: [while running out the kitchen] I'm going over to Rosalie's
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [to A.J., after Carmella left, implying this is what happens when teenagers don't apply themselves academically and commit crimes] you see?
[while shopping for a dress for Jackie Aprile Jr.'s funeral, Adriana carelessly divulges several private details to her newfound friend, whom the audience knows is an undercover FBI Agent]
Adriana: Miss? Can you tell me where I can find something more dressy? Not evening, but muted?
Saleswoman: I'll go look.
FBI: [approches Adriana] They have this great, little black cocktail I saw over there.
Adriana: Hmmm. Those I have. Thing is, it's for a funeral.
FBI: Oh. I'm so sorry.
Adriana: Yeah. Guy was, like, 22.
FBI: Car accident?
Adriana: Actually, murder. It was a cousin of mine. Anyway, the last time I went to a funeral, my boyfriend bitched me out over what I wore to his boss's mother's wake. I said, 'Come on! You think Tony even noticed for, like, one minute what I had on?' But he keeps on about everything!
- That is not what I'm talking about!
- What did I say?
- You're out from under our roof.
- Then you'll use it against a.J.
- Against him?
- I'm sorry I said anything!
- Bearded stranger turns, rabbi goes,
- "don't touch me, I'm on disability!"
Paulie: [before a sit down requested by Paulie, referring to Ralph not arriving on time] I got here first? Cocksucker
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: sit down, relax, have a coffee, he'll be here
Paulie: I think I got ma situated
Silvio: the Brother Joe home?
Paulie: [referring to the odor] nah, fuck that, we went there, almost gagged. Nah, we're gonna go with Greene Grove, based on your recommendation, Tone
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: I never recommended it
Paulie: yeah, you did, when your ma there. By the way, did she have the Silver Bird package?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [uninterested] I don't know
Paulie: you know, Sil, it's the most expensive nursing home in the state
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: It's a retirement community
Paulie: the level of care they have, ma was crying
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: eight grand a month?
Paulie: who gives a fuck? You see a seeing eye dog over here? Cup full of pencils?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: I'm not trying to insult you, I'm just saying
Paulie: It'll be tough but I'll figure it out: worth every fucking penny, I'm the hero now
Paulie: [to Ralph when he arrives] you're late
Ralph: [before Paulie tries to lunge at him for the insult] well, tomorrow I can be on time, but you'll be stupid forever
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [to Paulie while holding him back] hey, sit down
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [to Ralph] sit the fuck down and shut up
Silvio: so, who wants to talk first?
Paulie: what's to fucking talk about? I'm owed that fifty g's
Ralph: [raises his voice] fucking alarm code? Fifty g's? Five tops, maybe? As a finder's fee?
Paulie: Freaking heist fell in your lap: you spend your days fucking those fat pigs in the outer office at the carpenters union
Ralph: three mill a year from construction this family sees
Silvio: alright, five is the negotiating platform, take it easy
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [referring to Ralph's crew] It's not five we all know that: these guys did the heavy lifting
Paulie: Little Paulie was good to go, fucking car never came. They left him waiting outside his house like an asshole in fucking eleven-degree weather
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [after thinking it over] Ralph, give him 12k
Paulie: I can't believe this
Ralph: why not? Last year you believed that flying saucers were over East Rutherford
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [to Ralph, irritated from his insults] I'm not gonna tell you again
Paulie: T, I'm asking you to reconsider this
Silvio: [replying for Tony] Paulie, you requested a sit down, he heard you out

Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Not very well
Dr. Jennifer Melfi: You certainly saw it coming with this boy didn't you?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [Slightly nods] in the end, I failed him but what the fuck are you going to do? The world today. I'll tell you one thing though: I'm not going to make the same mistake with AJ. Got expelled, we're sending him to military school
Dr. Jennifer Melfi: You know we never exactly discussed what you want for your children
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: I don't want them to end up in Booton with their face blown off
Dr. Jennifer Melfi: You followed your father's into his business
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: I didn't have a choice. I try to make sure my kids have every opportunity. Meadow's going to Columbia for Christ's sake. She wants to be some kind of professional woman: like you
Dr. Jennifer Melfi: A psychiatrist?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: And have to listen to guys like me whine all day? She mentioned being a pediatrician once
Dr. Jennifer Melfi: You'd like that?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Yeah I would like something like that but the important thing is that she get far away from me. She could live close
Dr. Jennifer Melfi: I think I understand, and your son?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: AJ? In my business? Forget it, he'd never make it
- But he should know.
- You don't want to create confusion, insubordination.
- But more important than the decision, is that it happen in a timely fashion.
- But, fuck. Why am I telling you?
- You know all this. You're a captain.
- Chain of command is very important in our thing.
- I'm sorry he called.
- Don't apologize.
