  Episode Quotes  
Brendan: Un-fuckin'-believable. We just returned maybe the biggest score of my whole year.
Christopher: Listen you fuck! Uncle Junior's been breakin' Tony's balls 'cuz you hijacked that truck. You're lucky Tony doesn't shove the cab up your ass.
 
Brendan: So why don't you call Tony, so he can call Junior, and see if we can change the fucking channel.
 
Mikey Palmice: I think you should've taken care of this Christopher Moltisanti thing the minute it first happened. You should've sent a clear-cut signal... You fuck with Junior Soprano-
Uncle Junior: Take it easy. We're not making a western here.
 
Dr. Melfi: What happens to a tree that's rotted out?
Tony: Trees, ducks. What the fuck are you, Ranger Rick? I'll tell you, some job you shrinks got. You think everybody is lying to you while you're pulling scams on them.
 
Junior: You have a lot of sense for an old girl.
Livia: No, I'm a babbling idiot. That's why my son put me in a nursing home.
 
Ariel: Yes, may I help you?
Paulie: That depends, are you Ariel?
Ariel: That also depends, are you a bill collector?
