The Sopranos

Hey, no speeding. This is a party zone!

Come on! \/Ve can do it!

Hey, Janet Jackson

Hi, |\/Ir, Soprano!

V\/here's Meadow’?

-Tony_ Billy, thanks for calling

As soon as I found out it was your mom's place

C)_D_ Friend says Special K and ecstasy

You fucking kidding me? -Your kid's all right_

She's a little drunk

321, repeat, you're breaking up

529, are you in pursuit of vehicle on 75 North?

ln your grandmother's house -lt wasn't my fault,

If I had a quarter every time I heard that

_l'd have a private jet on 24-hour standby_

Get in the car

In your grandmother's house -Now he's repeating himself_

Just lucky I knew that cop So he cut me a favor.

Let me guess, he owes you money?

\/\/hat did she do? -Go upstairs,

-No, I want to see the fight, Get your Iittle ass up those stairs!

lVleadow!

We can talk about it in the morning -Get down here!

Let her go to bed

I want her to answer for herself! She's drunk! Was she driving?

I couId've taken ecstasy but I didn't!

Don't puke on the floor!

You still up? Go to bed!

She's on ecstasy and you yeII at me? -Get up there!

\/\/hat did she say for herself?

The usual shit_ "Wasn't my fault

There was designer drugs there, Tony

So, what did you say?

I don't know_ I yelled_ \/\/hat the fuck else am I gonna do?

You sure you're gonna be all right, Uncle Rich?

I want to walk

See if I run into any of the old crowd,

Thanks, doII

lVIotherfucker

There has to be consequences

\/\/hat kind of parents would we be if we Iet her get away with this?

Typical?

Plenty of parents still crack the whip

Yeah, that's what they tell you

I cannot wait until she goes off to college

Gh, right, so you can get Empty Nest Syndrome___

and go on Wellbutrin like your sister,

As a parent today, you are over a barrel no matter what you do_

You take the car, you're a chauffeur

Ground her, you stay in and be a prison guard.

Throw her out, social services returns her

and we face a judge She's not 18 yet_

All I'm saying, with the laws today, you can't restrain your kid physically

She could sue you for child abuse

There has to be consequences

And there will be

|hearyou,okay?

Let's not overpIay our hand, If she knows we're powerless, we're fucked

He

That guy wants to talk to you

Jesus_ lVIother of Christ! Richie

So when did you get out? How come nobody told me?

That's funny, Paulie Walnuts told me he ran into you this morning

Honest to fucking God nobody said a word.

Cn what?

You ever meditate? -lVIe? lVIeditate?

-Are you crazy? Not as crazy as I used to be

But still crazy enough to take an eye out,

What's going on here, Rich?

Ten years, And not even a pleasant "Go fuck yourseIf" from you I get,

You know, I always asked how you were doing,

Hold on there, You

How could you Iet my dear friend sit here with an empty cup?

-I'm sorry, That's all right

Bring this gentleman a veal-parm sandwich

The other two stores doing as good as this?

Come on, you know, it's a grind

Rich, I know you're a made guy so I Iose either way,

But I always respected you and your brother, Jackie,

I'm no victim here

I'm not some greasebaII storeowner I'm sorry, Richie,

I will not be shaken down

This sucking up to Tony Soprano has done wonders for you,

I go away for a while, I come back you're a tough guy,

Don't do this -Do what?

Take what's owed to me?

-What's owed to you? I put you in action, Beansie

You got a bad memory, Beansie

Veal parmigiana sandwich

Fuck you

I'II be back every Saturday, partner

I don't fucking believe this

I'm being shaken down, for what? Tell me, what did I do?

This is not right

I'm not gonna fucking lay down

Won't Iay down, huh? You don't want to Iay dawn? You piece of shit!

All right, Iet's get her down here

Iguess

Where is the Bride of Frankenstein? -She's still sleeping,

Yeah, right, Go wake her up -I wake her up?

I want to get this shit out of the way before I go out

You guys are making too much of this -I don't think we're making enough,

She was drunk

Her choice, There's a Zuni saying

"For every 20 wrongs a child does, ignore 19

There's an old Italian saying: You fuck up once, you Iose two teeth

That's what aII this is about Ego and control,

No, I want to understand this Go ahead, tell me,

You want to hold on to control over a young woman,,,

,,,whose entire biological determinism

is to achieve independent thought and behavior,

,,,but you want to penalize her because you don't Iike her choices

Go get a fucking permanent

I'm sorry you're under a Iot of pressure, It's still no excuse,

So who was this ecstasy guy? -I just told you, Adam,

I don't know him, He came with Steve

The Steve I know? The school kid you're always with?

He's a flake, Why do you think I stopped hanging with him?

That's news to me you don't hang out with Steve,
