Ray Abruzzo credited as playing...
Carmine Lupertazzi Jr.
- Carmine Lupertazzi Jr.: [after hanging up his cell phone] Kingsley's agent says we grab lunch tomorrow poolside
- Christopher Moltisanti: That guy Jay?
- Carmine Lupertazzi Jr.: Yeah, I got him out of some trouble out of a party down in the Keys
- Christopher Moltisanti: [referring to casting him for a role in their movie] Ben Kingsley, can he do a New Jersey accent?
- Carmine Lupertazzi Jr.: [after Carmine shrugs while they enter the hotel] I usually send the bags up, hit the bar decompress a little bit unless you're against it?
- Christopher Moltisanti: What're you talking about?
- Carmine Lupertazzi Jr.: You're in AA, you gave the stewardess an earful when she put down the champagne, I just don't wanna make you feel uncomfortable
- Christopher Moltisanti: Relax, I can deal with it
- Carmine Lupertazzi Jr.: [Pitching their movie idea] anyway we appreciate that your time is less than limited so I'll cut to the chase, log line: "The Ring" meets "The Godfather." Wise guy, murdered, I guess you can say, seeks revenge on the man who ordered it. You would play that man
- Ben Kingsley: [confused] Which man?
- Carmine Lupertazzi Jr.: [after looking at Christopher] who we kidding here? Your Ben Kingsley, you'd play the boss. I heard this idea, I call Jay and I say "Sir Ben Kingsley", no one else
- Ben Kingsley: Well, you know as ever its script "dependent"
- Christopher Moltisanti: We got a sensational writer, JT Dolan
- Ben Kingsley: I'm embarrassed, I haven't heard of him
- Christopher Moltisanti: [Listing Dolan's writing credits, unintentionally mispronouncing one of the names] His from TV. Nash Bridges, Hooperman, Law & Order: the SUV
- Ben Kingsley: So, there's a script?
- Carmine Lupertazzi Jr.: We wanted to surmise your interest, then tailor the part to your specificities. No one plays a tough, ruthless hard-hearted prick like you do
- Christopher Moltisanti: You got it down, trust me
- Ben Kingsley: I take that as a quite a compliment
- Carmine Lupertazzi Jr.: [Admiring the role from the movie Kingsley recieved an Oscar nomination] Sure, "Sexy Beast". Now, we do have a short list of directors. We could go A-list down the horror genre, Ridley Scott, Tobe Hooper, or we can try to find the next James Wan, he did "Saw."
- Christopher Moltisanti: Did you see that? Fuckin brutal
- Ben Kingsley: [getting her as she walks by] Betty, its Ben
- Ben Kingsley: [while hugging] how are you?
- Lauren Bacall: What on earth are you doing out here?
- Ben Kingsley: Oh, I don't know
- Ben Kingsley: [unintentionally mispronouncing Carmine's last name] gentlemen, allow me to introduce Ms. Lauren Bacall. Lauren, this is Carmine "Tatzi" and Christopher...
- Christopher Moltisanti: Moltisanti, huge fan
- Lauren Bacall: Thank you
- Carmine Lupertazzi Jr.: [while shaking her hand, pronouncing his last name correctly] "Lupertazzi"
- Christopher Moltisanti: You were great in "To Have and Have Not"
- Lauren Bacall: Oh yes, dear Howard Hawks, thank you
- Lauren Bacall: [to Ben] I'm a presenter at one of these award shows, ShoWest, some bullshit
- Ben Kingsley: [referring to his 1994 movie] Oh, I did one of those years ago after "Death and the Maiden' I think
- Lauren Bacall: [referring to the gifts celebrities receive] They do take good care of you though. I have a Shiatsu in about ten minutes
- Ben Kingsley: wow
- Lauren Bacall: But let's catch up
- Ben Kingsley: Absolutely, great to see you as always
- Lauren Bacall: Thank you
- Lauren Bacall: [to Christopher and Carmine] so nice meeting both of you
- Carmine Lupertazzi Jr.: Enjoy your success
- Ben Kingsley: That reminds me I have a scheduling problem: this meeting was last minute and I'm supposed to be at the luxury lounge at two
- Carmine Lupertazzi Jr.: [referring to the details in their movie] Yeah, but we haven't gotten to the particulars yet
- Christopher Moltisanti: We'll walk with you
- Carmine Lupertazzi Jr.: [after Kingsley walks away] this is going very well, you, ok? You seem a bit distracted
- Christopher Moltisanti: it's fuckin Sir Ben Kingsley that's all, Lauren Bacall
