Ever had our sausages? Emil kolar. Help you? Salami sub, hold the mayo. We're out of mayo. Change my meat to black forest. You killed me. What do you want me to do about it now? I want to tell you. Tell me what? You come here every night. You fucked up. What do you mean? Here's these. Where did you find them? One in the table, three in my skull. You will have our sausages. Get rid of these. Let go of me! Let go!

I would've wrapped it, but-- it's okay, a computer, thank you. This model got such a good write-up I got one for myself, you're gonna love it. Let's move on. Congratulations. You look gorgeous. By the way, who's your date? I'll give you "who's your date". Come here. Congratulations. Melissa was beautiful up there. I know, I know.

Mamma livia, come sta, darling. Listen to him with that "my darling". I am nobody's darling. This one here, she never disappoints you. Are you still seeing your other women, lorenzo? C'mon, ma, let's mingle. Sorry, the older she gets, the worse she gets. Ah, listen, I heard some disturbing shit last night and I wanted to talk to you about it. But with the rehearsal dinner-- yeah. There's the priest, I'll be right back. Go ahead. Yeah! Federal indictments? Yeah. Where the fuck'd you get this? I got a guy who owes me. He's got a goomar who works at FBI headquarters as a word processor. When's it coming down? I don't know. When she knows she'll tell me. Indictments, what the fuck you talking about? Are you sure about this? It's not my source in jersey. Half of New York moved to Fort Lauderdale already. Fuck. They're gonna want my ass. Why? What do you mean "why"? I'm O.C. When'd you get your fucking wings? I didn't. Not yet anyway. Uncle jun' you got anything you want to say about this? You guys see indictments under your bed at night. Right away you're ready to lam it. As far as I'm concerned it's just speculation. Rumor. Better be safe than sorry, no? I say we duck for a while. What are we gonna do? Close shop? We can't do that. Tony, what do you think? What the fuck you asking him for? I just gave you the answer. Junior's right, we go on the lam now, it's open season. Fucking Albanians will be living in our houses. Fuck. I just gave a g-note to Larry Boy's kid for the boost. If I knew I may have to lam in a hurry, I would have duked her another time.

Turn it upside down, love to hear percussion, love to hear it, love to hear it, love to hear it

I agree with my uncle. He calls the shots, we do it. Maybe for today... For right now, you were thinkin', uncle jun' everybody should do a little spring cleaning. That was my next comment.

Across the sea, it lingers there to touch your hair, and walk with me, all summer long, we sang a song, and strolled the golden sand, two sweethearts in the summer wind, like painted kites...

Think they're gonna come over the weekend? They're coming some day. Where's the rest of the money? It's everywhere. Go get it. What else? Your phone numbers. Anybody who's anybody is in my head. What's the matter? Nothing. Here we go. Why now? Why the fuck now? Just when things were going good. Boot your computer, the cops are coming. So? You want them to see all that porno you downloaded? Shit. You better give me your jewelry. Jesus. Hey, they know we can't produce receipts. You want them stealing the shit from us? I'm not giving you my engagement ring. This isn't stolen. Is it? No. What do you think I am? C'mon, give me that.

(Helicopter approaching) Adriana?! It ate my whole script now. You're still in the file. You must have deleted the text. The fuck, whatever. You fucking asshole! Alright stop with the hysteria, would you please? If you're gonna keep behaving like a baby, fuck it, I'm not gonna help you Christopher. I mean it. At least you work that squirrel program in the restaurant. There, the text came back. You put it in buffer memory. What do you think? Of the script? Babe, I can't like, give an opinion every time you add a sentence. I gotta have the whole story flow. I'm starting with the dialogue. "I manuged to get the drop on him"? Do you mean to say "I managed to get the drop on him"? Or is he saying "manuge"? Like manugia l' amerigan? My tennessee william. Where you going? Get over here. I have never seen you apply yourself like this. I love movies. You know that. That smell in blockbuster, that candy and carpet smell, I get high off of. I'm gonna let all this love and knowledge go to waste? My cousin Gregory's girlfriend, Amy, the one that works for Tarantino? She said mob stories are always hot. I could make my mark. Babe, with these indictments, shouldn't you put the script away for a while and get rid of evidence? Travel light, free bird. You stole this computer, plus the one you just gave Melissa. (Phone) I'm writing! Turn on channel six. Turn on channel six. New jersey attorney general, James D. Ricci, stated at a fund-raiser that a grand jury has been impaneled to investigate possible mob activities in the garden state with indictments to follow... With us is syndicated columnist and author of "mafia", America's longest running soap opera, Jeffrey Wernick. First of all, welcome. Thank you, pleasure to be here. For years now the FBI has been telling us that the mafia is all but dead. Let me interject. While it is true that the mob is getting a standing eight count, I wouldn't call the fight. The government knows this better than anyone. Murder, truck hijacking, as well as money laundering, are expected to be among inquiries. Do we know yet the names of those who'll be indicted? The indictments are sealed. But with the recent death of acting Di Meo family boss, Jackie Aprile, my sources tell me that Corrado "Junior" Soprano was made new boss after the death of Aprile. The Sopranos have long historic ties to the New York families. What about these possible murder charges? They will undoubtedly be focused on the, as yet unsolved, execution style slaying of Soprano family associate Brendan Filone. Was it part of a power struggle? Interesting. No one would ever had ranked him as associate. ... Loyal soldier, if you will, and he winds up dead... Soldier?! Brendan filone, associate, soldier?! Fuck you! Jesus! Georgie, you see it from the beginning? Did they mention my name? Stop the fucking chit-chat. I got to go, I got to go.

Nobody makes ginzo gravy like you, Nana. I'm up at Bard waiting for my care package. I don't like that word, Jason. What, ginzo? The word is offensive. She's right, Jason, it's not a nice word. Sorry, Nana. What's it mean? Derived from the word "guinea". What's that mean? It's a derogation. I have a patient you wouldn't want to say the word guinea in front of him. Italian male seeing a shrink. Let me guess-- mother issues. Why wouldn't you say it, ma? You just wouldn't. What, you'd be scared? Is he in the mafia? No, I shouldn't have mentioned it! Can we change the subject? No way! What's he do, mom? Is he in the mob or what? He's not a mobster is he, Jen? Nobody knows better than you, Richard. I can't discuss my patients. I just hope he's not one of those crumbs they're talking about on the news. Just refer him to another doctor. You can do that, couldn't you? Grate the cheese, dad, okay? Sure she can. That might be what you would do, Richard. Now I remember why we got divorced. Why should I refer him to another doctor? He's my patient. You know you can't treat sociopaths. He's scum and you shouldn't help him with his bed wetting. You have no idea who this man is and yet you call him scum. People like him are the reason Italian Americans have such a bad image. I agree. Ask any American to describe an Italian American in this country, invariably he's gonna reference the "godfather", "goodfellas". Good movies. And the rest are gonna mention pizza. Good movies to eat pizza by. Stop it, Jason. I never said he was in the mafia. Why do you think we're never gonna see an Italian president? Oh, and that's my patient's fault. I realize that you're very involved in the anti-defamation lobby. So go after hollywood, if you feel you absolutely have to. But leave my patient alone. It's a synergy. News items and the constant portrayal of Italian Americans as gangsters. Wasn't the Italian anti-def deal started by Joe Colombo? A mobster? Italians against discrimination did a study, and at its height the mafia in this country had less than 5,000 members. And yet that tiny insignificant fraction casts such a dark shadow over 20 million hard-working Americans. Dad, at this point in our cultural history, mob movies are classic American cinema. Like westerns. I have to agree there, rich. You never saw the scotch-irish pissing and moaning about always being portrayed as rustlers and gunslingers. (Nana) that's absurd. See what you started with your gravy, nana? Yeah. To we... The 20 million. Salut. Salut. Salut.

(Phone) what? Get down here right away, we're exterminating. I'm kind of busy now. And get some shfooyadell and cannolis and shit for the guys.

Yeah. Twenty-nine. Here you go, big guy. Hey, gino. What can I get you? Give me some-- whoa, whoa, number 34 right here. He was in line. He just went out to go get gas in his car. So I could go out, fuck your sister, come back Saturday, I go to the front of the line? I said he could. Hey pop'n fresh, I'm in no fuckin' mood today! I'm next, now get a fuckin' pastry box. Gino, what can I get you? Oh! That's alright, dougie, let him go first. He don't make the rules here. Let me have two Neapolitan loaves. You touch a single fuckin' crust, you're gonna wish you took that job at McDonald's. Fuck you. Okay, take a walk. My bread. Come back in ten minutes. What the fuck do you think you're doing? C'mon. Get up. I'm not gonna hurt you. What is it? What is it? Do I look like a pussy to you? No. I'm serious, be honest, I won't get mad. No. No. So why the fuck would you give me a hard time and talk to me like i'm nothing to worry about? I'm sorry. Get a pastry box. Move it! That's better. Now fill it with cannoli, shfooyadell and napoleons. Move it! Good. Give me the box. C'mon. Next time you see my face... Show some respect. I will. You motherfucker! You shot my foot! It happens. You fucking asshole!

If I'm getting an invitation to the dance, I wish the feds would hurry the fuck up about it. You heard what they're saying on the news. The way things are working, it's gonna be Junior's party. That was a far-thinking plan you had there. I called you last Christmas. Fuck this! Hey the shfooyadell! What's wrong with you? What are you doing? You brought up in a barn, or what? What's the matter with you? This is no time to go on the rag, Christopher. Not with the indictment shit coming down. Take georgie, go in the bathroom, sweep for bugs, okay? C'mon. I hope they'll be alright. Who? The guys. What about me? You'll be alright. They didn't mention your name on television. Fucking amazing though, huh? You know what, that news guy, he said the words brendan filone, I'm telling you, the hairs on the back of my neck stood up. I knew the guy. Made him look like john fuckin' gotti. I brought him around here. Tony wouldn't have ever known him if it wasn't for me. I had no idea.

(Horn honking) (knocking) who is it? I'm sleeping. Carmela. Oh, c'mon in. I just said that in case you were that snootty-ass Mrs. Ryan down the hall. She is so shanty Irish, with all her heirs-- c'mon get dressed, I'm taking you to brunch. What? What? You heard me, get dressed. What's wrong, tell me? Nothing's wrong, ma. Why does something have to be wrong? Is it meadow? She eats like a bird. Everything is fine, ma, relax. Nothing is wrong. But you come here unannounced and I shouldn't wonder if something's wrong? Jeez, I'm sorry. It's a nice day, I thought I would take you out. I don't want to go out. Is it Anthony? Those indictments. His father could take it in stride, but he can't. I don't believe you. C'mon, ma, will you get dressed? We just went to a wedding. That was a big "to-do". This way, you and me, we get to spend some quality time. Ma, "the manor" is gonna stop serving lunch any minute. Did he cheat on you again? I try to do something nice. I come here to take you out, right away you think I have some other agenda that I have to talk you about? Don't flatter yourself. I'll throw something on. Buckle your seat belt, ma. (Livia) I can't find it. Where is it?

It's not definite, I just thought I'd tell you, you know. In case I don't show for an appointment. So you're telling me that you're planning a vacation, but you're not sure exactly when it will be. Right. I may never go. Let's put it this way... There's a strong possibility that it could happen. Does this have anything to do with what's been on the news lately? So if you suddenly stop coming to your appointments I will assume that you are on vacation. I should wait to be contacted? That would be a good assumption.
