Quotes5

  • Bobby 'Bacala' Baccalieri: [after entering the room] Vito, he was found beat to death in a motel near Fort Lee, my cop up there told me. Plus the homicide detectives said he had a pool cue rammed up his ass
  • Christopher Moltisanti: [Jokingly] Lovers' quarrel, maybe
  • Tony Soprano: Look, we all know who did it
  • Christopher Moltisanti: Phil: fuckin balls on that prick, what'd I always say about him?
  • Carlo Gervasi: [after entering the room and noticing the expression on everyone's face] I see you've heard the news, it must've been Phil right?
  • Silvio Dante: [comparing him to the fictional reporter that appeared in the comic books] Jimmy Olsen over here
  • Carlo Gervasi: I know I was out of line but still you kind of have to admire the guy. It's not all talk with him. I'm just saying he saved us all a lot of trouble right?
  • Tony Soprano: It can't have been an easy decision: killing a made guy. Naturally Phil won't brag about it because he can't. Phil's in a touch situation. His family, honor was stained. If I got to Vito first that result would've been the same
  • Patsy Parisi: I wish I borrowed money from Vito
  • Silvio Dante: [referring to Phil's responsibility behind Vito's death] People are gonna expect a "response"
  • Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: This is what I was taking about
  • Silvio Dante: We "hit" one of Phil's guys?
  • Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [referring to the nickname of mob boss Joseph Bonanno] "Joe Bananas" went after Carlo Gambino, "made" guys got killed: the war went seven years. How many times I gotta say this? "When guys are on mattresses, they're not out earning"
  • Silvio Dante: [referring to what they should do about their response] So... what?
  • Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [after thinking it over] All Phil cares about is fuckin money: his got a wireroom in Sheepshead Bay, right? Our guys have seen it?
  • Silvio Dante: Yeah
  • Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [Referring to Vito's proposal to Tony by rejoining the crime family and earn money by distributing narcotics in Atlantic City] Vito, Atlantic City, forget it
  • Silvio Dante: Why the change up?
  • Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: I can't keep fighting Phil on this. Our businesses are all entwined. You've got to pick your battles. You want your no-show jobs? Vito's got to go
  • Silvio Dante: It's the right move T
  • Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: All those weeks in the hospital, surgeries, constant pain, and for what? Come out here and get shadowed with something like this?
  • Silvio Dante: I'm sorry
  • Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: If Vito wanted to pursue that lifestyle, he should've done so quietly
  • Silvio Dante: He was, wasn't he? Anyone in particular you want to give this to?
  • Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Well, Carlo had the biggest problem with it, let him handle it. It's Vito's own fault, why couldn't he stay the fuck where he was?
  • Silvio Dante: Don't beat yourself up about this
  • Phil Leotardo: Highland project: your "slice" of no-shows, I spoke to the Union, we can't make five "work" no more, throwbacks. Not to mention, my end's way down
  • Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: now more than ever, I got captains looking to me to "deliver" them the no-show jobs on the account of the medical insurance
  • Silvio Dante: health care costs these days
  • Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: bitch all you want about John, he understood that ours was a "mutually beneficial situation"
  • Phil Leotardo: John's folding fuckin laundry in Danbury: it's on my shoulders to take care of the family, even though his boss just in "name", and I made a decision and with all due respect... it's final
  • Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [to Sil] see, this is what I get?
  • Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [to Phil] I never should've let you "slide" on the vitamins
  • Phil Leotardo: again, with the vitamins: you told me there were fifteen hundred cases of Centrum on that truck. When your nephew delivered it, there were cartons ripped open, pills all over the fuckin floor, anybody got "shorted"? It was "yours truly", but you know what?
  • Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [after Phil takes out money] alright, alright, put it back in your pocket but I gotta get some "relief" on this "situation"
  • Christopher Moltisanti: [referring to Vito] he was fuckin' stalking you,
  • Silvio Dante: That's the thing with the gays, still living the closet makes them devious
  • Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [points to the television of Mickey Rooney in the movie Strike Up the Band] Speaking of crystal meth, look at this WYO
  • Silvio Dante: say what you will about Richie Aprile, when he found out his son was gay, he did the right thing... he disowned him
  • Christopher Moltisanti: [before leaving] I got an AA meeting
  • Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: [sarcastically, referring to the birthname of Charles Lucky Luciano, sarcastically] Alcohol fuckin' Anonymous now too, Salvatore Lucania must be looking down on all of us with great pride
  • Silvio Dante: There's gonna be a lot of popular sentiment to get rid of Vito, Phil alone
  • Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Fuck Phil, you know what that's about? His got to polish his reputation as a tough prick, so he can make boss. Vito in Atlantic City, his out there, his not part of us, and we get you know a trinkle of cash coming in each month
