Quotes6

  • Christopher Moltisanti: [to J.T. Dolan referring to the movie Cleaver they wrote that has similarities to aspects of Tony's life] It was an idea, I don't know, who knows where they fuckin' come from? Isaac Newton invented gravity 'cause some asshole hit him with an apple!
  • Christopher Moltisanti: [At the Cleaver movie premiere after party, walking up to him] what?
  • Tony Soprano: [Hugs him, referring to the resemblance of a character in the movie] what? I'll give you a "what", fuckin boss down in the cellar, wearing a white bathrobe, where'd you get that?
  • Christopher Moltisanti: I don't know. "Artistic choice"
  • Tony Soprano: Seriously though, I'm very proud, whatever else happened, you made a movie Christopher. Nobody can take that away. A hundred years from now when we're dead and gone, people are going to be watching this fuckin thing
  • Christopher Moltisanti: You know how much Imperial vodka I scored just this party alone? I had a couple cases put down in your car
  • J.T. Dolan: [after been woken up by Christopher pounding on his door] who is it?
  • Christopher Moltisanti: You don't answer your phone?
  • J.T. Dolan: Something's wrong with the ringer, it's the middle of the night
  • J.T. Dolan: We got a problem: the whole sequence with Sally boy banging the fiancee you've got to tell Tony it was your idea
  • J.T. Dolan: It wasn't my idea
  • Christopher Moltisanti: What'd you fuckin stupid now? He probably thought I put that in there to embarrass him
  • J.T. Dolan: Why did you put it in there?
  • Christopher Moltisanti: It was an idea, I don't know, who knows where they fuckin come from? Isaac Newton invented gravity because some asshole hit him with an apple
  • J.T. Dolan: Its bad enough I don't get credit for my own ideas but I'm supposed to take responsibility for some shit that's going to get me in trouble? Fuck that man
  • Christopher Moltisanti: [while holding the trophy, reading the inscription on the plague] Humanitas Award? What's that?
  • J.T. Dolan: [Correcting him his pronunciation] Humanitas. From the Paulist brothers for writing themes of socially redeeming...
  • Christopher Moltisanti: [after hitting him with the trophy and leaving] look out your window, you see a fuckin Hollywood sign out there? Maybe you talk to your agent like that but don't ever get fuckin snippy on me again
  • 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

  • Larry Boy Barese: [to Carmine] I think there's potentially more money in this than the porn we've done?

  • 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
  • Christopher Moltisanti: [while in a diner] It's weird how it works, the creative process. I'm watching that movie Edward Scissorhands, when boom all of a sudden, it hits me, what if instead of a pair of scissors, it's a meat cleaver?
  • Eddie Dunne: Couple years later you got a movie?
  • Christopher Moltisanti: Originally, I thought of a Ball-peen hammer but a cleaver is better. I tell you man, it's like a living somebody else's life
  • Eddie Dunne: Your just not comfortable with success yet, I know it's scary
  • Christopher Moltisanti: [shrugs, referring to alcohol and drugs] I feel the fear and do it anyway, without chemicals either

  • Eddie Dunne: [surprised] He's an FBI guy?
  • Christopher Moltisanti: Your tax dollars at work
  • Eddie Dunne: Does he follow you around a lot?
  • Christopher Moltisanti: [unworried] They drop in and out: it's fun
  • Eddie Dunne: Seriously, just think three months ago, you came into that meeting, you were so fucked up, you could barely talk and that woman friend was even worse
  • Christopher Moltisanti: I've been trying to do what you said hold back a little, stay clear of old habits and the same people
  • Eddie Dunne: [referring to his mob life] It must be hard though, given your lifestyle
  • Christopher Moltisanti: They already misinterpret why I don't wanna hang around so much: fuckin Paulie especially
  • Eddie Dunne: Have you explained how hard it is to be around alcohol? How familiar surroundings set it off?
  • Christopher Moltisanti: They don't give a fuck
  • Christopher Moltisanti: [talking privately, while Kelli uses the bathroom] so, how you doing? Tony said you got an offer on the house you've been building?
  • Carmela Soprano: two, actually, yes
  • Christopher Moltisanti: [jokingly] Ivana Trump
  • Carmela Soprano: you know I gotta honest, I am very disappointed in what you did
  • Christopher Moltisanti: [surprised] what're you talking about?
  • Carmela Soprano: [referring to Cleaver] your movie, with the boss sleeping with the other guy's fiancée
  • Christopher Moltisanti: [shakes his head] what?
  • Carmela Soprano: [referring to rumors Tony was having an affair with Andriana] please, like that wasn't based on Tony and Ade?
  • Christopher Moltisanti: what? No, I didn't even write it
  • Carmela Soprano: [referring to introduction credits for his movie during the premiere] "Story by Christopher Moltisanti", isn't that what it said up there on the screen?
  • Christopher Moltisanti: yeah, but that's just for the Writers Guild health insurance
  • Carmela Soprano: [doubting him] oh, really?
  • Christopher Moltisanti: [referring to the actress] oh, come on, you can't be serious, she's an oriental for Christ's sake
  • Carmela Soprano: have you heard from Ade lately?
  • Christopher Moltisanti: [adamantly] no, why would I hear from her?
  • Carmela Soprano: would it be so surprising?
  • Christopher Moltisanti: she left me for some other guy
  • Carmela Soprano: is it any wonder? Her mother is so upset, she's practically delusional: she's convinced herself that Ade is dead
  • Christopher Moltisanti: [referring to slang term for an alcoholic] her mother's an "Alki", you know that
  • Carmela Soprano: regardless
  • Christopher Moltisanti: you're my cousin and I love you but I don't like what you're inferring here: either with the movie or how I treated Adriana. When Kelli comes out, tell her I went to smoke
