The Sopranos

Three weeks to Iet me visit?

Be careful. These motherless fucks listen to everything,

A nephew's visiting his uncle who loves him.

I got nothing to say

Yeah, but they didn't

What's this shit |'m hearing about your heart?

This problem you and me had

your mother had nothing to do with it.

-She's dead to me. She's a sick woman

Who are you kidding? lt kills you that people are talking

That an old woman made an ass out of you

Not half so bad as certain rumors floating around about you.

How Tony Soprano fluffs his mother's pillow so she can get her sleep.

-Who said that? \/\/ant to make this nonsense disappear?

lVlake peace with her. No bad blood lt'll be good for all of us.

No fucking way

Tell Bacala to come out of his hole I want to see him tomorrow.

\/\/hat for?

Black men industrialized the North but we still fight forjobs.

That's right!

Gver 25 joint-fitters on this site not a black man to be found.

Tell it, reverend! Why? -l'll tell you why.

Black joint-fitters have been shut out of the unions.

Gut of work while their white joint-fitter. ._

fills his stomach

lVly father put his life on the line for this country.

Come on up here, Papa

Somebody help my papa on up here This is my papa!

Fought in World War ll against tyranny.

But when he came home-- I said when he came home...

_.he had to fight a different kind of war all over again!

Talkto them, Papa! Talk to the people, Papa!

Since then, we have spilled our blood in Korea...

Vietnam and Iraq

Every time, I say, "Sweet Jesus, let them do right when they get back

But somebody forgot to tell the lVIan

You know what I mean! -Tell him, reverend!

0h, yes, I'm gonna tell him!

I'm gonna tell him, no more cutting us out of the dream!

No more!

No more! No more!

No lVIore !

You hear that, l\/Ir. lVIassarone Brothers Construction?

No more!

Somebody tell me what we want! -Jobs!

When do we want it? -Now!

What do we want? -Jobs!

I'm gonna visit "She who can't be named." Want to come?

Grandma? You mean like now?

I'd really like to, but I gotta study my French. Stupid verbs.

What were you doing with that sign?

-I wanted to talk to you about that. I'm selling lVIa's house, understand?

Now put the sign back in the ground!

End of discussion! Period!

You're so left-brained

The house is still for sale. The agent still has a listing

What was the sign doing in your car?

-Don't try to deny it! I'm trying to save a little money

Do you remember Cathy Fiola?

She was in my class with the birthmark.

-What about her? She's in real estate and charges

three percent commission That's half, Tony.

Thousands of dollars. lVIaybe l\/Ia could use it

Yeah? Fuck her!

Next time you disappear, park that piece of shit on the street!

We're out of cran-apple Is plain apple okay?

Gh, sure, doll. Gh, honey?

Could you get me some strawberry ice cream?

They can't expect me to eat this tapioca.

I'II see what I can do

She cracks me up

Well, I can't believe it

It's my daughter from California!

-Seattle, lVIa. Would you like some of my tapioca?

-Good morning. Ch, you reek of cigarettes. Ugh!

Look at you, all dressed, out of bed

Yeah, but you see my hand? It's all black and blue...

where they stuck in the needle -It's how you get better.

You don't care. You weren't here five minutes

I went to the city for a few days I'm pitching my self-help video.

"Lady Kerouac," or, "Packing for the Highway to a Woman's Self-Esteem

You could never stand it here. You could never stand yourself

And that's why you ran away -Let's not go there today, lVIa.

You don't know how your father was! -What do you mean?

Nobody knows! Nobody knows what I went through

What about Daddy?

Cne thing I could tell you. It would kill him to see me now

Here's your ice cream. Then we can take our walk

Leave me alone, please

Cpen the window and just push me out.

-I can't take this anymore. lVIrs. Soprano, what's wrong?

-What happened? She just started crying

You! I know why you're here!

You don't fool me for a second!

You don't know what goes through my mind

-Well, that's for fucking sure! Someday, I hope you have children

and they treat you like this

I gave my life to my children -This is bullshit.

Talk to me

These activists, they're killing me They're picketing my place 24-7.

Three days I'm down

-Who? A hard-on, Reverend Herman James, Jr

'Not enough minorities doing the joint-fitting."

That's under my uncIe's jurisdiction -I know.

But you could talk to him, maybe send some guys down

Like you did, with your unions -It's gonna cost you.

You're already raping me with those no-showjobs.

You're not such a citizen when you want a bid to go your way

Take it easy

I'II see what I can do. In the meantime, call animal control

Watch you don't get followed meeting me.

You're late

Bobby Baccalieri, the last man standing

-I'm not saying nothing. Don't want to get in trouble

A lot of funerals in your corner of the world, huh?

Look at me, not the floor

Tell him I'm gonna let him keep on earning. Subsistence level.

He'II be able to pay his lawyers

Let me say for him, thank you

You're gonna hear some high-end shit And A: I hope you understand it...

...and B: I hope you keep it between this room and Junior

If you don't, they're gonna find pieces of you in different dumpsters

I inherited Junior

You got no reason to talk to me this way. I always liked you.

Bullshit. But we'II assume you do now

Tell my uncle he gets to keep 5% 5% of his shy...

...the sports betting. Same with the coke

The Joint-Fitters Union it's all his, okay?

Listen. This is very important

He also gets to keep his stripes

As far as the feds are concerned they've got the boss in jail.

Hearing different creates confusion

Got it

As far as the rest of everything that Junior owned...

it's now mine

I'II get this to him, Tony

That's it

To the victor belongs the spoils

Get out of here before I shove your quotations book up your fat ass!

l\/Ir. Bompensiero, is your wife here to drive you home?

Skip

Skip?

How we feeling? -Fucking great.

He's gonna be out of it for an hour or so.

It went great. You'II feel the difference in your back in a few days

Buzz me when he feels ready to leave

l\/ly back don't feel one iota different

It'II take a couple of days for the steroids to kick in.

I gotta get in my Jacuzzi

Too much stress in your life, Sal

Tony doesn't know you're back yet? -Jesus Christ, no.

Take advantage of the government's generosity, playing both ends.

He's already suspicious I gotta be careful.

Altieri ate the pill for you

Any suspicions went to the grave with Jimmy Altieri.

I've known Tony 30 years, now this? -Spare me, okay?

You been on our tit since '98

Chauffeur to and from the doctor that we found for you.

We let you back on the street We want results.

He tried to suffocate his own mother

His own uncle wanted him whacked

You said he's been shitting on you for years.

-I know what I said. Plus he's been crying to a shrink

You don't owe him dick

Don't take a bullet for a yuppie who thinks you're his errand boy

Your Honor, this man should not be released for medical reasons.

Every time we get an elder lVIafioso incarcerated. _ _

we get the same bag of tricks -Your Honor.

I take offense at the characterization of my client as a lVIafioso.

l\/Ir. Soprano has not been found guilty of anything.

He's awaiting trial for allegations -Noted.

With all due respect to the state's medical facilities...

...in his condition, l\/Ir. Soprano has every right

l\/Ir. Soprano has a benign illness. A few clogged arteries, Your Honor

I'm leaning towards releasing this man from Iockup.

l\/Ir. Soprano

If I approve this, you will be under house arrest.

You understand this concept?

Not really

It means that you must remain in your residence. You cannot leave

Except for doctor's appointments food shopping.

Your Honor, the government asks for an electronic bracelet.

Your Honor, while we certainly agree to house arrest...

we are asking that l\/Ir. Soprano

He shows no prior arrest since 1968

He pays his taxes and he's a veteran of the Second World War.

l\/Ir. Soprano, do you have any problem with wearing an electronic bracelet?

It sounds like Nazi Germany to me

Cbviously you need a history lesson, sir.

I don't think that we, you and I

should let our shared sorrow or biases...

enter into this, judge

He's wearing a bracelet

-Who are you? Jesus, you scared the shit out of me

Jesus ain't got nothing to do with it.

What do you want?

I'm looking for your son Is he around?

You a friend? Is he around?

He'II be back here soon

Well, come on in
