James Gandolfini credited as playing...
Tony Soprano
- Phil Leotardo: [after Johnny Sack bursts into tears after being arrested by the FBI in front of everyone] I'll tell you one thing and I'm not ashamed to say it, my estimation of John Sacrimoni as a man just fucking plummeted.
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Give him a break, will ya? It's an emotional day.
- Phil Leotardo: To cry like a woman? It's a fucking disgrace!
- Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: It's fucking coach turned into a pumpkin.
- Phil Leotardo: Even Cinderella didn't cry!
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Look, when it comes to daughters, all bets are off. I've seen tougher guys than John cry at weddings.
- Phil Leotardo: OK, but let me ask you this: if they can make him cry, and if he's that weak, what the fuck else can they make him do?
- Christopher Moltisanti: I gotta agree with Phil, Tone.
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [angrily] Oh you do, do ya?
- Wedding Guest: Terrible out there, huh?
- Phil Leotardo: He's an emotional man. LOVES his daughter.
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: [During Allegra's wedding reception] obviously I couldn't visit you in the hospital, when I heard what happened I was devastated
- Tony Soprano: [Eventually asking how much Allegra's wedding's cost] that's life huh? Seriously what's the damages here? What am I in for with Meadow?
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: Not counting the honeymoon? Four twenty-five
- Tony Soprano: So adjusted for inflation I'm looking at "half a rock"
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: It's all for it, what we put in? The grind? For things like this? Listen I heard Phil came to see you?
- Tony Soprano: [Noticing the US Marshall's escorting John are standing nearby, realizing they need to go somewhere else to talk] let's go say hello to your dad
- Tony Soprano: [after greeting John's father and sitting down at their table] I'm going to say a few things and these pricks are watching, I'm going to make it look like I'm talking to your dad and them
- Tony Soprano: [Referring to the hit on Rusty] What you asked me to do, with the little guy, I can't do it
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: This fuckin prick, his disruptive. He doesn't have the balls to step up himself
- Tony Soprano: So just keep him away from Phil
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: His a "cancer", I can't let it spread
- Tony Soprano: Well, your going to have to use one of your own "doctors"
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: Oh I'd love to, believe me. But my position isn't completely solidified. When Carmine died, Rusty could've been boss, he should've been but he didn't want the responsibility
- Tony Soprano: Like I advised you, say no more, it's too fuckin late now anyway
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: I need your help Tony, some of these guys, my captains. If they find out I'm behind the move against them it'd make things worse. I can't take that risk while I'm in jail
- Tony Soprano: So I'm supposed to put myself at risk? Share the same fuckin jail cell as you? Forget it John
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: It's Allegra's wedding, the way things are, I don't know if I'll be around for Catherine's
- Tony Soprano: Look I know your going through a rough time right now alright?
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: Then do me this favor
- Tony Soprano: OK I'll take care of it
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: I won't forget it
- Tony Soprano: Well, here I am: back
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Yup
- Tony Soprano: So, let me ask you right off, is there any chance for a mercy fuck?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: [Remains silent]
- Tony Soprano: I'm just kidding
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: How are you feeling?
- Tony Soprano: You went to medical school, a gunshot wound is everything they told you it was
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: And emotionally?
- Tony Soprano: I'm happy to be alive
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Have you spoken to your uncle since it happened?
- Tony Soprano: No, and I won't. I finally get to sleep on my own bed tonight. I got a hospital bed in the house for the last month and a half ago
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Is sleeping difficult?
- Tony Soprano: [Shakes his head] Tylenol helps
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: What about dreams? Night terrors? Anything like that?
- Tony Soprano: Gloom is your business and business is good
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: You were shot, Anthony by a member of your family
- Tony Soprano: I know
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: And unless I know absolutely nothing about what I'm doing, I think you and I have a lot to talk about. Are you familiar with the term Post Traumatic Stress?
- Tony Soprano: I get it ok? My uncle tried to kill me, for the second time. Three strikes and I'm out right? And who knows, maybe I am suppressing things but right now I feel each day is a gift, I told my sister that and that's how it's going to stay
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Just pick up where we left off before this all happened
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: AJ
- Tony Soprano: Believe it or not things got worse with that kid, flunked out of college. He waited until I was in a coma
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Didn't you leave Seaton Hall after a semester and a half?
- Tony Soprano: Alright fine why can't he copy some of the good things about me?
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Does he have a job?
- Tony Soprano: Blockbuster: the first stop of the shit bird express
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: In some ways this shooting may have provided him an opportunity to learn from your mistakes
- Tony Soprano: My mistakes? I got caught up in domestic violence, you think it can't happen to you but it does
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: But I was referring to the bigger picture. The ready access to guns, the use of violence to solve disputes because of the nature of your work, your uncle's work
- Tony Soprano: I told you I didn't want to talk about my uncle
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Fine, but for now is it safe to say there are worse ways to earn money than by stocking shelves at Blockbuster?
- Tony Soprano: Yeah, there are
- Carmela Soprano: [while counting money at their kitchen table] Allegra Sacrimoni, getting married: were we not just at her christening?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [jokingly] 1980, fifty-pound bundle of joy
- Carmela Soprano: She'll be a beautiful bride Tony
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [before gesturing to Meadow] All brides are beautiful, wait until this one gets married
- Carmela Soprano: [to Tony] How much are we giving? So, I can write it down
- Meadow Soprano: You keep tabs on gifts? How sentimental
- Carmela Soprano: That's how it's done Meadow
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: So, we can know if they "stiff" us when your big day comes
- Carmela Soprano: Exactly
- Meadow Soprano: What is this pressure?
- Carmela Soprano: I know you'd to think it's me pressuring you but the reality is it's your father that keeps this going
- Meadow Soprano: Please, like you're aren't desperate to have a grandchild
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Any thoughts on when you and Finn are tying the knot?
- Meadow Soprano: This discussion is over
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Look, sweetie, it's just what I've been through, it changes the way you think and holding my grandkids, your kids in my lap, all of a sudden, it's very important to me
- Phil Leotardo: [talking privately, referring to visiting John in prison] I was up by John's, he sends his regards: he'd like you to do him a favor though
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [irritated] What now?
- Phil Leotardo: Our friend there, the mayor of Munchkin-land, John wants him gone
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [surprised] Jesus, Rusty?
- Phil Leotardo: John's worried he might find another puppet like Carmine, will try to run the family through him
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [speaking in a metaphor, implying their crime family has more assassins than the Sopranos] So, why me hit him? You guys got more "buttons" than my grandmother's corset
- Phil Leotardo: John wants this to point away from the family
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [after thinking it over] You know what? Tell him no, time and again, I've done his bidding, time to set some limits
- Phil Leotardo: [surprised] Really?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Yeah, really
- Phil Leotardo: [before walking away] Be well
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [talking privately, during Allegra Sacrimoni's wedding reception, referring to the hit on Rusty] here's out it works, I'm thinking bring somebody over from Naples
- Christopher Moltisanti: what?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: completely insulate ourselves, they do Rusty, their back on the plane over the Atlantic two hours later
- Christopher Moltisanti: I don't know. If you ask me, "farming" it out is a pussy ass maneuver
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [surprised] excuse me?
- Christopher Moltisanti: if we're gonna do it, we should do it ourselves: maintain control. Better yet, tell New York to fuckin handle it already
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: John just asked me "specifically"
- Christopher Moltisanti: it's like the movie then?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: what movie?
- Christopher Moltisanti: [referring to the first Godfather] one, that you can't refuse a man's request on his daughter's wedding day
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [confused] it's the other way around, I should be asking him for something he can't refuse
- Christopher Moltisanti: so, did you?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: no
- Christopher Moltisanti: you should ask not to do this
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [irritated] I already fuckin agreed. Look, we wanna keep him placated right? The shit with Phil and his little brother, that perpetual "hard on" his still got with us
- Christopher Moltisanti: I'm just saying I don't think it's a good idea
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [referring to when security conducted a search on him at John Sacrimoni's daughter's wedding] The point is they made me take off my shoes. I nearly passed out in front of everybody trying to bend over
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: That's not good
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: People misinterpret. When they think your weak, they see an opportunity. They're my friends a lot of them but their also fuckin jackals
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Alpha male
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: It's subtle but since I've been back, I've been noticing certain "looks", people questioning my judgement when they never did before
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: [referring to the idiom] When the Cat's Away, the Mice Will Play, bad habits set in
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: In the perfect world, let them think whatever the fuck they want
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: [referring to the aphorism] Act as if
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: [when Tony looks confused] As if you're not feeling vulnerable, as if you're the same old Anthony, strong and decisive. People only see what you "allow" them to see
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing, thanks for the advice
- Dr. Jennifer Melfi: Glad to be of service
