The Sopranos

Fuck you doing? Scared the piss out of me.

Some things you don't get into over the phone.

Got it. Lorraine's at mass.

Watch out for Spencer.

- Who? - Her fucking toy terrier's a shit machine.

I talked to some of the guys about your misgivings.

Yeah?

Listen, I've made a decision.

Take a walk in there.

What the fuck you waiting for? Get lost.

Historically, Carmine always said the Sopranos

Are nothing more than a glorified crew.

Plain and simple, we decapitate

And we do business with whatever's left.

- What? - Nothing.

I agree in spirit, but I gotta counsel.

This thing should have been done during John's era.

They got redundant upper management--

Bleeds off half the kick.

We take 'em out, absorb the whole fucking thing.

Take out an entire fucking family?

Let me tell you a couple or three things:

Forget Coco. Forget fat dom

Who goes over to Jersey and never comes back.

Forget my brother Billy.

Phil, Phil, that's not what I'm saying at all.

Anthony Soprano has no respect for this thing.

He's never been in the can, not really.

He's a guy who stepped over his own uncle to grab the big seat--

His father's brother.

- Please, huh? - I'm embarrassed.

I let him come to the hospital last Christmas

And I took his fat fucking hand in friendship.

Philly, you had a heart attack.

Listen to me. They make anybody and everybody over there.

And the way that they do it is all fucked up.

Guys don't get their finger pricked.

There's no sword and gun on the table.

- Phil. - No, Alb.

Either it has meaning or no meaning.

And the Vito thing-- the man harbors a faggot.

- it's true. - Five fucking families

And we got this other pygmy thing over in Jersey.

There's no scraps in my scrapbook.

Make it happen.

I like the way she played basketball yesterday.

Almost got my first hard-on in, like, a month.

Jesus, what's the meaning of quiet time around here?

- Rhiannon? - A.J.?

Jesus.

What are you doing here?

You first.

I have some food issues, depression.

- You keep up with Hernan? - He's a fucking slimeball.

I caught him finger-banging my cousin on the ski lift.

Well, somebody said you were modeling.

Yeah, I guess.

I signed with elite.

So you would say he's responding to the therapy.

Well, we don't do traditional therapy per se.

Kids in crisis mostly need an environment of calm,

No stresses.

Do you want this? Or I can pop it in the mail.

Just one more week of this.

$2,200 a fucking day.

Gabagool', provolone

And vinegar peppers.

You believe this fucking weather?

End times, huh? Ready for the rapture.

How's the antiterror going?

Great if you don't like sleeping, eating or seeing your kids.

Listen, those arabs from the bing--

- Mm-hmm. - Let me ask you the truth.

They're in Jordan, right, getting their balls zapped?

You're not gonna tell me?

I'm not really sure. For all we know,

They may be harmless pistachio salesmen.

Don't get so bent out of shape. You're a big boy, Tony.

You know, World War II, your outfit protected

The Brooklyn navy yard.

You think Roosevelt told Vito Genovese

- Where Hitler was holed up? - Go fuck yourself.

Tony, Tony, hold up.

Tony.

What?

Look, I appreciate what you did giving us those names.

In fact, I've been sitting here thinking...

Remember that thing I told you about that was supposed to happen

About a year ago, your problem with Brooklyn?

It's on again possibly.

You, maybe people close to you.

If it was real solid, you would have been warned officially

By the Newark office, but my colleague in Brooklyn,

The one with the collaborator,

Snitch is implying the wheels have already been set in motion.

Implying.

Where the fuck you been?

Krista fell off her shoes last night.

We had to call an ambulance.

I had some shit I was taking care of.

You're gonna want a snort.

Come on, I just finished my bialy.

Take it.

Burt Gervasi, he's gone.

What happened?

I didn't want to overload you with A.J. In the hospital.

I don't wanna hear that. Go.

Burt let me know the other night

He's been playing both sides of the fence with New York.

- Burt? - Measures were taken.

Burt wasn't speaking for just himself.

Guys are getting squeezed hard

To sway them towards new management.

They thought you'd be a part of it.

And he got an answer.

My hope is maybe now Phil gets the message.

- You know, we can talk this shit through. - Talk?

Talking about Phil.

We're gonna hit first.

And this all dovetails with other information I got that this cocksucker

Already has a target on my back.

It's a big move.

So...

Buddha.

When he stuck you with the tab for Vito Jr.,

I said let it go.

Obviously, truth is, a fuck like Phil,

Appeasement don't work.

Oh, yeah.

Three pops within a tight time frame,

24 hours, so there's no chance for them to hit back.

Top three guys.

- Paulie Gaultieri? - No, management.

Tony Soprano, obviously,

Plus Silvio Dante and we think Bobby Baccalieri.

That mortadella's number three?

He used to be junior Soprano's driver.

And you used to sell laser printers out the back of your crown vic.

- You really slept. - Yeah.

I wasn't asleep.

You want some oatmeal? I'll make some.

You want instant or the real thing? I have half and half.

I can't find my belt.

It must be up there somewhere.

What? You hid it.

I'll make the real thing.

- You'll let me know when it's ready? - Sure.

You know, my game has got--

Code six. I have a casualty. He's urgent.

i response,

The insurgents unleash a devastating wave

Of ieds

and suicide bombers.

who got hit? You got contact with them?

on a small but deadly road...

who's that gunner right there?

Anthony.

Regarding our friend with the gray hair--

I thought about it. I want you to call Italy,

Get some cousins of ours over.

Who you want to run the thing?

Got it.

Gotta get some tires for Carmela's car.

The wine's amazing.

Jennifer's our resident italian wine expert.

Is Megan still in Prague, Stace?

Jesus, her love life. The girl she was involved with, Cecily,

She's now having a torrid pen-and-paper relationship

With an armed robber in Attica.

What is this fascination with criminals?

Rescue fantasy. They think they can fix them.

I'm worried for Cecily.

So I googled any new stuff on sociopathic personalities.

Apparently, the talking cure

Actually helps them become better criminals.

It was fascinating.

The study was by Yochelson and Samenow.

Studies turn around every few years.

This other, I think it was Robert Hare,

Suggested that sociopaths

Actually quite glibly

Engage on key issues, like mother, family.

I seem to remember that from residency.

Me too, and I've read Hare,

But who's a true sociopath?

I had a guy at the state asylum,

Slow poisoner. They even mimic empathy.

They blubber and cry.

Did you put her up to this?

She just happened to mention this study?

- Who? Me? - Everything okay down there?

I don't know.

It's a study. Food for thought.

She's blowing us off.

You just can't resist rubbing my face in it.

I feel like we should change the subject.

I only suggested you reevaluate your work

With leadbelly or be prepared to deal with moral

And possibly legal consequences.

- Leadbelly? - Who's that? Come on.
