Quotes5

  • Carmine 'Little Carmine' Lupertazzi: We have this ritual at my house for years, our kids are in boarding school, every night I come from work strip down, jump naked in the pool, Nicole brings me a scotch and water, we sit, relax a little, talk, I go up to bed the air conditioning, she brings me a light dinner on a trey, one night during all that fighting with John, I come home, I'm exhausted, so tired, so tense I skip the pool, I go right upstairs flop on the bed, Nicole comes up with the drink and she says "darling, I think its you took a rest", I say '"yeah I'm gonna, we'll take a vacation", she says" that's not what I what I meant, I don't want to be the wealthiest widow on Long Island, I want you to quit now", I'm not ashamed to say this, but she made me cry, that wonderful, loving woman, that dream with my father with the empty box, it wasn't about being boss, it was about being happy.
  • Alexandra Lupertazzi: Dad, that was neat at the end. The creepy figurine and the crucifix.
  • Carmine Lupertazzi Jr.: I'm glad you caught that, Alexandra. Very observant. The sacred and the propane.
  • Christopher Moltisanti: [after they watch a rough cut of Christopher's horror film Cleaver, referring to their distain when Kingsley turning down the leading role] Fuck Ben Kingsley, Danny Baldwin took him to fuckin acting school
  • Carmine 'Little Carmine' Lupertazzi: [pats him on his forearm] Very well directed Morgan
  • Larry Boy Barese: [to Carmine] I think there's potentially more money in this than the porn we've done?
  • Carlo Gervasi: [to everybody] So, what'd we think, do we need the extra scene or not?
  • Christopher Moltisanti: I like it the way it is
  • Carlo Gervasi: I don't know Chrissy, these audiences today love blood
  • Carmine 'Little Carmine' Lupertazzi: I'm tending to agree with Carlo, I think one more sexy kill?
  • Morgan Yam: [to everybody] When Michael follows the guy to the strip club, what if he chopped up one of the women?
  • Carmine 'Little Carmine' Lupertazzi: Who was fate would have it, was at one time Sally Boy's mistress?
  • Christopher Moltisanti: Two extra shoot days at a minimum
  • Larry Boy Barese: Yeah, if it buys us a bullshit theatrical release
  • Christopher Moltisanti: I have to get more money from Tony, I want this fuckin' thing out there
  • Carmine 'Little Carmine' Lupertazzi: [while standing next to Christopher and Morgan, presenting their film] welcome to the premier of Cleaver, the story of a young man who goes to pieces and manages to find himself again. In all seriousness, however, I'd like to say a few words: much like a child, a film has many "parents", that is to say many individuals who "act" like "parents" or that a version, the film is their "baby." I as an Executive Producer is one of those individuals. Two more examples that are here with me tonight, ladies and gentlemen, my co-VP Christopher Moltisanti and our director Morgan Yam
  • Carmine 'Little Carmine' Lupertazzi: [while at the restaurant inside a golf resort] we would've invited you to play but we had our fourth
  • Carmine 'Little Carmine' Lupertazzi: [after noticing the expression on Tony's face] you're not happy
  • Tony Soprano: what the fuck, this family of yours, fuckin senile 'Doc' Santoro uses one of my guys as a diversion? Sil could've got hurt
  • Carmine 'Little Carmine' Lupertazzi: Doc showed a lack of respect
  • Tony Soprano: this fuckin leadership, step up, get your hands around this "thing", you know you got the support
  • Carmine 'Little Carmine' Lupertazzi: [smiles] you never thought you'd mutter those words, did you?
  • Tony Soprano: what'd you want me to say?
  • Carmine 'Little Carmine' Lupertazzi: I hear you and I'm flattered but boss, I don't think so, especially now Doc cemented his position
  • Tony Soprano: Phil was bad enough at the top spot but him I could've lived with
  • Carmine 'Little Carmine' Lupertazzi: there was a time I was obsessed with being in charge, you remember?
  • Tony Soprano: so, do it
  • Carmine 'Little Carmine' Lupertazzi: one night around then, I had this dream: it was my pop's hundredth birthday even though his been dead for years. The whole family's there, grandkids, everybody, his wearing one of these gold paper crowns like at Burger King? Anyway, I give him this present, this mellifluous box, with ribbons, he opens it up and looks at me, this gaze of absolute disappointment, there's nothing in the box, so he hands it back to me, "Go fill it up "he says, "Come back when I'm two hundred"
  • Tony Soprano: so, go for it: fulfill that part of yourself
