The Sopranos 3x9

1. Anybody home?

2. Hello?

3. What's this?

4. Oh, my God. Tony...

5. Here, allow me.

6. Happy birthday.

7. Oh!

8. Oops.

9. What?

10. Look at the ring your father gave me.

11. I already saw it.

12. I was gonna wrap it,

13. but it's wasteful to the environment.

14. Thank you, young man.

15. The Matrix.

16. I haven't seen it yet.

17. Right up her alley.

18. Hello?

19. Happy birthday, Mama.

20. What are you doing here?

21. Don't you have an exam tomorrow?

22. Nice to see you too.

23. I'm sorry, honey.

24. I'm just surprised to see you.

25. Mwah. See what your father got me?

26. Hm.

27. Big ring.

28. Happy birthday.

29. Oh, my God, so many gifts.

30. "A day of beauty and pampering at the Belladonna day spa."

31. It's in Soho. My friend Batsheva says it's awesome.

32. Massage, mud treatment, everything.

33. I got myself one, so we can go together.

34. I put it on your credit card.

35. Twelve years! I took this club from nothing!

36. Oh, Marone. Give him a drink.

37. What do you drink, Rocco?

38. Johnny Black.

39. This place was a shithole when I took it over.

40. You could use a little help.

41. Make this place in the 21st century.

42. Yeah, it's like permanently 1987 in here.

43. Goddamn Vikings!

44. Nobody misses the extra point.

45. That's all they had to do, one little kick.

46. And now I'm ruined?

47. Don't bitch to me!

48. Bet with your head, no over it.

49. You still a partner.

50. You got a problem with us?

51. One, two, three.

52. I'll get it.

53. Did you invite some stray dog up here?

54. You short of food?

55. Sorry I'm late.

56. We didn't even know you were coming.

57. Meadow told me it was Carmela's birthday.

58. It is so nice of you to join us.

59. Hi, Mr. and Mrs. DeAngelis.

60. - Yeah. - Jackie.

61. Hey.

62. Have you heard the good news?

63. We met Thanksgiving?

64. Happy birthday, Carm.

65. Oh, Jackie, you didn't have to.

66. I'll put it on ice in a minute.

67. Thank you, sir. Mwah.

68. All right, come on, let's go. The wax is melting here.

69. Happy birthday.

70. I heard you got made defensive captain.

71. Yeah. I had five and a half sacks and two recovered fumbles.

72. I almost scored a touchdown on one of them.

73. Excellent, man.

74. You know I played linebacker for Boonton?

75. Senior year, I was all-county.

76. Wow.

77. Maybe we could work out a little together.

78. Sure, you should come to the Blessed Sac game on Tuesday.

79. It's the last game of the season.

80. We were supposed to play last month,

81. - but the refs were on strike. - I'll be there.

82. I wanna come to.

83. My little brother's football game.

84. No champagne.

85. The Good Lord doesn't want us to drink alcohol.

86. Didn't Jesus drink wine?

87. He was Jesus, Ton'. We can't make comparisons.

88. Who invented these things?

89. You people are all out of your minds.

90. Mom, is it all right if I sleep at Egon's

91. if I promise to be in bed by 1:00?

92. I ordered one for you so you don't disappear

93. when I send you to the market.

94. Lights out by 1:00, in bed by 12:00.

95. Come on. Be careful.

96. I smell fish.

97. We're near the ocean.

98. Now I smell piss.

99. Okay.

100. What?

101. It's yours.

102. What is?

103. This is the Lollipop in Long Branch.

104. This is your club.

105. I'm a partner here now, me and Furio.

106. But we're gonna be silent.

107. You're gonna be the owner-manager.

108. You book the bands, you find the talent,

109. whatever you wanna do.

110. It's yours.

111. Oh, my God.

112. I can't believe it.

113. You're gonna turn this place into the biggest Jersey club

114. since the Stone Pony.

115. Thank you, Christopher.

116. I'm so excited.

117. Can we change the name?

118. Whatever you want, baby.

119. This is Rocco. He works for you.

120. Ow.

121. Ring looks beautiful on you.

122. It is gorgeous.

123. Tony, is there anything you need to tell me?

124. - About the ring? - I don't know.

125. You didn't buy that little car you were talking about.

126. The Mercedes?

127. I'd look like a douchebag in one of those.

128. Jean Cusamano calls those sports cars "midlife crisis-mobiles."

129. What the fuck does she know?

130. Is this 1726 Pearl Avenue?

131. No.

132. Is there a Pearl Avenue in this neighborhood?

133. I don't know.

134. Do you know a man

135. by the name of La Fong? Carl La Fong?

136. Hello?

137. Hey, Ro'.

138. No, Jackie took Meadow to the movies.

139. They said not late.

140. Carl La Fong!

141. - All right. Bye. - No, I don't - know Carl La Fong!

142. Capital "L," small "A,"

143. capital "F," small "O," small "N," small "G"!

144. And if I did know Carl La Fong...

145. What?

146. I don't know.

147. I'm not thrilled about this thing with Jackie and Meadow.

148. I think she came home and he came over

149. so that they could go out tonight.

150. So what? He's a good kid.

151. Comes from good stock.

152. He's been on his best behavior lately, I can't deny that.

153. I just never pictured Meadow with someone like him.

154. "Someone like him"?

155. He's one of us.

156. Don't tell me you were happier when she was going out

157. with that Jamal Ginsberg, the Hasidic homeboy.

158. Scraped through that by the skin of our ass.

159. I just don't want her

160. to miss the opportunities that are available to her.

161. She should be at the Museum of Modern Art in her free time,

162. not watching TV at Rosalie Aprile's.

163. Oh, you'd rather have her looking at pictures of soup cans

164. instead of being close to home?

165. I don't know.

166. Well, you talk to her,

167. and I'll talk to Jackie Jr.

168. Here's your Edgar Allan Poe paper.

169. You did it already?

170. No problem.

171. Thanks.

172. I would have done it myself.

173. I was gonna do it.

174. I just couldn't get through the books.

175. I never should've took Literature of Obsession.

176. I owe you big-time.

177. Thanks.

178. How can I repay you?

179. I don't know.

180. Why don't you surprise me?

181. On your mark, get set, go!

182. I kicked your asses.

183. - You cheat. - Oh, my eyes.

184. There's too much chlorine.

185. I think I swallowed some water.

186. You girls see me out there?

187. Yeah, it looked like you were cheating.

188. I'm fucking starving.

189. Hey, guys, we got Mr. Goodwin's office open.

190. Check it out.

191. Let's go for it.

192. All right, come on. Let's go.

193. Come on, take anything.

194. Ha!

195. Hey, everybody!

196. Boo-ya!

197. All right, come on. Let's go!

198. Come on.

199. Don't cut your feet!

200. Hey, it's Sunday morning,

201. and you're listening to...

202. - Good morning. - Hello.

203. Morning.

204. Did Jackie call?

205. Vince Lombardi's out back with your brother.

206. So I've been thinking about a car.

207. I knew I was gonna get hit up for something on this trip.

208. What, you can spend thousands on sapphires,

209. but a hardworking student has to take the bus everywhere?

210. You live a block from the school.

211. What do you need a car for?

212. Be nice to hop in a car after class

213. and come have dinner with you guys once in a while.

214. They steal cars left and right in New York.

215. Parking is impossible.

216. Besides, the bus gets you here in 45 minutes.

217. I'm not asking for anything fancy,

218. just something to get me around.

219. Could've had a car last year, but you spurned your nose at it.

220. Eric's car? Is that a sick joke?

221. It may interest you to know that his father's now

222. in a mental health facility in Nevada.

223. Why don't you just wait and see how this semester goes?

224. You were just complaining about how much work you had to do.

225. Don't you think you should concentrate on that?

226. I am concentrating on that. What do you think I am?

227. Jesus Christ, you're like a broken record!

228. - Hey! - Take it down a notch.

229. - God. - We just want to make sure

230. that you take advantage of all the city has to offer you.

231. Culturally, socially, educationally.

232. Right before the snap, the ball isn't doing anything.

233. But the QB's eyes can tell you

234. whether he's gonna drop back to pass or hand it off.

235. It happens in a split second,

236. but over the course of the game,

237. you can learn what his habits are.

238. And once you know these habits, he's fucked.

239. Hey.

240. Good morning.

241. Okay, A.J., try what I told you.

242. I will. Thanks, Jackie.

243. The wall of pride.

244. What kind of animals?

245. I don't think they stole anything.

246. They just did a number on the place.

247. They left this.

248. You make this pizza?

249. Who make this pizza?

250. - We're asking you. - This your store logo, sir?

251. That's my box.

252. This pie was found at a crime scene.

253. - My pizza never hurt nobody. - Come again, sir?

254. You no find any bacteria in here.

255. Some kids broke into Verbum Dei High School, broke things.

256. They left this there.

257. Now you tell me their names,

258. I'll go put my foot up their ass!

259. I got it, Pop.

260. - That's a custom job. - How's that, sir?

261. Double meatball, pepperoni, sausage,

262. peppers, onions, extra mozzarell'.

263. - This pie fit a pattern? - Come again, officer?

264. Any customers order this combo on a regular basis?

265. - Only one I know. - Who's that?

266. I'd rather not say.

267. Tell me right now! I find these bastards!

268. Pop, go in the back, make meatballs. Go ahead.

269. - Sir. - Yes, officer?

270. - Word to the wise. - what's that?

271. Technically, you're an accessory after the fact.

272. I cannot believe this.

273. Do you know how serious this is?

274. Do you?

275. Answer me, right now.

276. Yes.

277. Yes, what?

278. I know it's serious.

279. So why did you do it?

280. I don't know.

281. Why did you do it?

282. Do you hate the school?

283. Do you have a problem with someone there or something?

284. - No. - Then, why?

285. It just happened.

286. We went in swimming as a goof.

287. Someone threw something in the pool.

288. Couple of guys started throwing stuff in.

289. We just did it.

290. And if they were jumping off the George Washington Bridge,

291. would you just do that too?

292. No.

293. What are you doing here?

294. Answer your father.

295. - I got sent home. - Why?

296. Why?

297. I got in trouble.

298. Your son broke into his school Friday night

299. and vandalized the swimming pool.

300. How do you vandalize the swimming pool?

301. They threw a bunch of stuff in it, they broke things.

302. - What'd you do that for? - Screwing around?

303. On your mother's birthday?

304. It wasn't. It was after midnight.

305. What are you, fucking stupid, huh?

306. So, what now? You're suspended?

307. I don't know.

308. Tony, do you know how serious this is?

309. - He may be expelled. - What'd they say?

310. Nothing. They just sent me home,

311. and said to bring you guys into the principal's office.

312. On your mother's birthday.

313. They're gonna call you.

314. Just when everything was going good, huh?

315. You're gonna miss the big game.

316. You're screwing everything up.

317. Your football career, down the drain!

318. There it is.

319. What a beautiful ring.

320. - I know. - Gorgeous, Carm.

321. I want you ladies to try this.

322. Mozzarell' and string beans?

323. I was gonna get the hot antipast'.

324. It's not mozzarella. This is called burrata.

325. I had it flown in this morning, by FedEx, from Italy.

326. It's a lot more subtle and smooth than mozzarella,

327. with an almost nut-like flavor.

328. - Thank you, Artie. - I'm not that big on nuts.

329. A little pepper?

330. - No. No pepper. - Carm, on your half?

331. It's all about the contrast.

332. The crispness of the beans, the smoothness of the cheese.

333. No, I'm fine.

334. Buon appetito.

335. Tastes like mozzarel" and string beans.

336. You have it, Carm.

337. I want the hot antipast'.

338. I'd like to make a toast.

339. To the blossoming friendship between our two children.

340. I'm very happy to see my son

341. spending time with someone like Meadow.

342. She'll be a very good influence on him.

343. You did a great job.

344. She's a wonderful girl.

345. Well, thank you. Salute.

346. It's nice to see our families united.

347. Like with Ralphie,

348. he goes on and on about Tony and the promotion.

349. He's very happy to be getting closer to him.

350. Well, Ralph is a real find, Ro'. You hang on to him.

351. You know, it was tough at first.

352. You know, I was afraid everyone was gonna think I rushed,

353. that I didn't mourn Jack enough.

354. Oh, Artie?

355. Think he's under a lot of stress.

356. I hear Charmaine hired a lawyer.

357. Oh! Divorce?

358. You know, it's funny, but you'd think...

359. you know, the men in our lives have been, you know what.

360. And we've stayed together.

361. And here's Artie, a regular guy, hardworking,

362. and his marriage is in the pishadoo.

363. You can push a man only so far.

364. True, very true.

365. You know what?

366. If you wait inside for me,

367. I'll be in there in just a second.

368. Okay?

369. Hello.

370. Who's the douchebag?

371. That douchebag buys a new 600 from me every year.

372. Oh.

373. This was last year.

374. Nice.

375. You been shopping?

376. It's for you.

377. Very beautiful.

378. So are you.

379. What are my chances of kidnapping you

380. for the rest of the afternoon?

381. I'm closing on a car.

382. Come on.

383. Let Hans and Franz do the paperwork.

384. I'm going nuts thinking about you.

385. I gotta work.

386. Trabajar?

387. Come on, come on.

388. I'll take you anywhere you wanna go.

389. The Pierre.

390. Sherry Netherlands.

391. You pick it, come on. Anywhere you wanna go.

392. Wanna go to the zoo?

393. The zoo?

394. Yeah.

395. I try to get there once a year.

396. All right, we'll go.

397. I'll call you.

398. Amazing thing about snakes

399. is that they reproduce spontaneously.

400. What do you mean?

401. They have both male and female sex organs.

402. That's why somebody you don't trust,

403. you call a snake.

404. How can you trust a guy who can literally go fuck themselves?

405. Don't you think that expression

406. would come from the Adam and Eve story?

407. When the snake tempted Eve to bite the apple?

408. Hey, snakes were fucking themselves

409. long before Adam and Eve showed up, T.

410. has been studying these snakes

411. for over 15 years,

412. and has solved many of the...

413. Hey, how you doing, kid?

414. - All right. - Hey, Jackie.

415. Thanks for coming by.

416. - Hey. - How are you?

417. Have a seat.

418. Want something to drink?

419. What are you having?

420. A little red wine.

421. Okay.

422. I'm going to get a couple of slices.

423. You want anything, T.?

424. Yeah, get me the usual.

425. Jackie, you want something?

426. No, thanks.

427. So...

428. I hear you're taking Meadow out tonight.

429. Yeah.

430. Where?

431. A place in the city called Chez Josephine.

432. The food's supposed to be good, and they have live piano music.

433. Harry Connick Jr. used to play there before he became famous.

434. A friend of mine's brother is the bartender there.

435. Don't you two got class tomorrow?

436. She's got a 2:00, and I'm off.

437. How many days off they give you at Rutgers?

438. I got class three days a week.

439. Listen, I think you're a good kid.

440. You show respect at my house,

441. and you come from a good family.

442. Thanks.

443. As far as my daughter goes,

444. and you know I only want the best for her,

445. I'm gonna be very protective over her.

446. You can understand that, right?

447. Of course.

448. So if you want to spend time with her,

449. I want the best from you.

450. If you're in school,

451. you gotta give it everything you got.

452. Yeah, right, I know it...

453. Shut up.

454. Listen to me.

455. I know I've been saying this to you all along,

456. but now it's different.

457. You understand what I'm saying to you?

458. I just got an "A" on my Lit paper.

459. You did?

460. Edgar Allan Poe.

461. Good writer, what a fucking nutjob.

462. He's the guy who did all the Vincent Price shit, right?

463. Guy smoked opium and married his cousin.

464. He was from the Bronx. You believe that?

465. So you got an "A," huh?

466. I'm doing good, Tony.

467. Let's keep it that way.

468. Keep your father in mind.

469. I will.

470. Listen...

471. Here.

472. Have some dessert on me.

473. No, that's okay.

474. Take it.

475. Just don't keep her out too late.

476. I won't. Thanks, Tony.

477. Welcome, everybody,

478. to opening night at Crazy Horse.

479. I'm very excited to have, from U-Dub,

480. our very first band.

481. Please welcome the Miami Relatives.

482. - What do you think? - What?

483. What do you think of this place?

484. I can't hear a word you're saying.

485. Tony and Sil couldn't make it, but this is from us.

486. Congratulations.

487. - How do you like the band? - What?

488. How do you like the band?

489. Matush, you don't got those Maseratis anymore?

490. Only Versace. You tried it yet?

491. No, I like the Maserati, though.

492. Try the Versace. You won't be sorry.

493. Hey, hey!

494. What's up? What's up?

495. Come on. Let's go. Out!

496. I got friends here, man!

497. Let me call my man Carlo!

498. I see you here again, I'm gonna crack your head!

499. Call Carlo!

500. You have to wonder what they're thinking.

501. They're thinking, "Marone, you guys ever smell yourselves?

502. 'Cause you're killing us over here!"

503. You're probably right, huh?

504. Except for you.

505. What you got on, even a baboon would love.

506. The eyes are innocent.

507. Like a baby's.

508. Yeah, he could innocently maul you into ten pieces.

509. Usually, they just engage in what's called threat behavior.

510. Well, that's 'cause they did all their mauling.

511. Now all they gotta do is give you the look.

512. Malocchio.

513. You know other primates, they groom each other?

514. Oh. That, I like.

515. What's this?

516. It's a Tibetan talisman, for protection.

517. I knew it.

518. I knew there had to be something.

519. What?

520. What is wrong with that?

521. It's a Buddhist symbol.

522. My sister was a Buddhist. She's a whack job.

523. Ah, I see, so I gotta be a whack job too?

524. Well, it is a little wacky.

525. I mean, what's wrong with fucking Catholicism?

526. Oh, which you fucking practice every fucking day, I'm sure.

527. So, I pray a little bit,

528. and I meditate in the morning.

529. It clears my mind and my heart for the day.

530. A Buddhist selling $150,000 cars.

531. The first noble truth is life is suffering,

532. but the Buddha preached joyful participation

533. in the sorrows of the world.

534. So you make a sale, you don't make a sale.

535. It's a tiny little thing.

536. What's so funny?

537. - You came here today. - What, the zoo?

538. I said "zoo," and you came.

539. What's this, a fucking head trip now?

540. Huh? Nice.

541. Sorta.

542. I don't like that.

543. You're very sweet.

544. You came.

545. I'm crazy about you.

546. You know that, don't you?

547. I never met anybody like you.

548. Okay, class, come on. Come this way.

549. Stay together, kids. Come on.

550. We're gonna see some tigers.

551. You take your kids to the Bronx Zoo?

552. Yeah.

553. And now we're here.

554. See you later.

555. Who was that?

556. Oh, that was my hard-on.

557. - Aw! - Aw.

558. Between the Buddhism

559. and talk about the family,

560. poor you.

561. Let me see...

562. if it's really gone.

563. You lie.

564. You know snakes can fuck themselves?

565. Give me your hand.

566. Oh, Jesus Christ.

567. Don't move.

568. What?

569. See if you cannot.

570. So, what happened?

571. He was at the Crazy Horse,

572. and some zip, he told my man here,

573. "new management, new rules."

574. So I asked around.

575. I heard about some guy...

576. Molti-something.

577. Some made guy in the Soprano family was running things now.

578. - I go, "Whoa!" - Chris Moltisanti.

579. Yeah, that's the name.

580. I know Chris.

581. What's your name again?

582. Matush.

583. Normally, I would never get involved with a stranger.

584. But if Carlo here is vouching for you...

585. I'm willing to make an exception, take care of it.

586. Thank you.

587. What'd I tell you about my man, Jackie?

588. You know who my father was?

589. The golfer?

590. U.S. Open?

591. Chris and me are associates.

592. You got nothing to worry about.

593. I'll call Carlo in a couple of days.

594. Meeting over.

595. Verbum Dei has a strict zero-tolerance policy

596. in cases of vandalism.

597. It is a policy that demands the immediate expulsion

598. of the offending student.

599. I told him.

600. - You see? - Having said that,

601. in this case, after much deliberation and assessment,

602. we have decided upon a suspended sentence.

603. This consideration has only been arrived at

604. based upon Anthony's academic performance

605. and his involvement

606. in extracurricular sport.

607. His academic performance?

608. He's brought his GPA up to a "C" -minus.

609. So, what is the punishment?

610. We suggest, and hope,

611. that Anthony's punishment be meted out parentally.

612. So, it's not exactly zero tolerance.

613. Each child is special.

614. That's a guiding principle of this school too.

615. Well, what about detention?

616. A lawsuit a few years back

617. forced us to eliminate our detention program.

618. Well, he's off the football team, right?

619. No.

620. Studies done at Harvard, and elsewhere,

621. have shown that boys have greater success

622. in avoiding the pitfalls of adolescence

623. when they remain committed to, and involved in, sport.

624. You better wipe that smile off your face.

625. Look, I told him he was gonna be off the team.

626. You know, now, I mean, you're kind of...

627. Undermining...

628. It's not only skill that Anthony has shown on the football field.

629. It's leadership qualities as well.

630. We feel that it would be against his best interests,

631. and the team's,

632. to sever his relationship with the squad.

633. Well, if you think that's best.

634. However,

635. and I can't say this strongly enough,

636. if there is but one more infraction of our code,

637. the sentence will immediately go into effect

638. and Anthony will be expelled.

639. Do you understand this, Anthony?

640. Yes.

641. You completely sold us out in there.

642. What'd I do?

643. That they are not punishing him at all, Tony,

644. and you went right along with it.

645. I suggested detention.

646. That whole thing was a disgusting charade

647. so that the fucking freshman football team

648. can win the big game.

649. We've been waiting for years for him to get off the couch.

650. - This is good for him. - Oh, please!

651. Hey, we should keep this in the family,

652. punish him at home.

653. He ain't getting off that easy!

654. Overall, it's been a good two weeks.

655. What about the nightmares?

656. None.

657. I had a wonderful dream

658. where I lit the big torch at the Olympics.

659. What do you think that represented?

660. Well, work has been good.

661. My sales are way up.

662. And my performance has been commended

663. by Mercedes-Benz U.S.A. with a little plaque.

664. What's going on with your social life?

665. Nothing...

666. right now.

667. But it's okay.

668. What I'm going to say is a little delicate,

669. but I think it's important.

670. When you called me last week to cancel,

671. I heard a man's voice.

672. My car broke down.

673. It could've been the mechanic.

674. I see.

675. I'm a little offended that you put it to me that way.

676. Offended? Why?

677. Well, I don't pay you to be under your surveillance.

678. How dare you?

679. You came to me after attempting suicide

680. over the breakup with Barry.

681. I ask you because you're under my care.

682. I think it's very unprofessional of you to confront me this way.

683. Suicide is something I take very seriously.

684. Well, the doctor in the E.R. said

685. it was only suicidal ideation.

686. Is he trained to give those diagnoses?

687. My car broke down.

688. Fine.

689. I'll believe you.

690. Thank you.

691. - To the Crazy Horse. - Buona fortuna.

692. Salute.

693. Club business ain't easy, I'll tell you that.

694. With the Bing, everybody only sees the glitz and glamour.

695. Nobody really knows what goes into it.

696. There's a lot to deal with.

697. I know.

698. See, it's one thing to have a bar and sell drinks,

699. but when you're dealing with performers...

700. I don't care if it's music, tits, fire-eaters.

701. It's a whole other game,

702. 'cause, ultimately,

703. you're relying on them to get the customers in

704. and spend money.

705. All right, I'll take it upstairs.

706. Oh, Jackie Jr. How are you?

707. All right.

708. How you doing?

709. Somebody's sitting there.

710. I'll take a 7&7, and whatever my friend here wants.

711. I'm good.

712. - Just 7&7. - Okay.

713. Congrats on the club.

714. I only have admiration for your progress

715. ever since you got your button.

716. Thanks.

717. - Thanks. - Sure.

718. I wanted to have a little sit-down with you

719. about a friend of mine who was doing some business at your club.

720. And when did you want to do this?

721. Now, if it's okay.

722. Now's okay for a chat, not a sit-down.

723. Okay, this friend of mine was moving a little X at the club

724. before you took over,

725. and the other night he got thrown out on his ass.

726. And?

727. No, I wanted to ask you,

728. as a favor to me,

729. to let him keep a little action going on.

730. You'll get a piece of whatever he does.

731. X is federal territory now.

732. They got task forces with dogs and shit.

733. I don't want it in my club.

734. It would mean a lot to me.

735. You got a lot of balls. Did you hear what I said?

736. - Yeah. - What'd I say?

737. No.

738. End of chat.

739. Okay, thanks.

740. It's all taken care of.

741. Thanks, man.

742. You just can't do it in the club.

743. Have your customers meet you outside.

744. Outside where?

745. Near the club.

746. Use your car, or their car.

747. Find an alley.

748. I gotta fucking think it all out for you?

749. That's gonna make things a lot harder on me.

750. This all happens for good reason right now.

751. Reasons beyond anything you could possibly know.

752. In time, everything will be revealed to you.

753. Couple of weeks, you'll be back inside.

754. Don't worry.

755. If that's the way it is, that's the way it is.

756. I'll see you.

757. Aren't you forgetting something?

758. What?

759. I'm looking out for you here.

760. I gotta eat too, right?

761. Yeah, sure.

762. I'll take care of you.

763. I'll be by every Sunday.

764. Cool.

765. Your father and I have discussed your punishment.

766. You're grounded for a month.

767. That means no Nintendo, no DVDs, no skateboards.

768. And no computer.

769. I use the computer for school.

770. - Get the typewriter out of the basement. - Dad threw it out.

771. Then use a pen.

772. It worked for Einstein, it can work for you.

773. And on top of that, you're gonna work your little ass off around here,

774. which you should've been doing anyway.

775. Okay.

776. Okay or not, you got no choice.

777. Number one, you go to the garage,

778. you clean it out, you make it neat and organized.

779. Jackie Jr. did that the other day.

780. See what I'm saying about him?

781. You know, you ought to take a few lessons from Jackie Aprile.

782. Okay? Get your act together.

783. Kid's premed at Rutgers,

784. he finds time to come down here and help out.

785. And you are going to clean the gutters.

786. What gutters?

787. - On the roof. - Where?

788. On the edge, the things that collect the water?

789. - I don't know what you mean. - Don't get smart with me!

790. - I don't know. - The drainpipes for the rain?

791. Come here.

792. Very good.

793. Obviously a lady of discerning taste.

794. Come on!

795. I told you once.

796. My man Jackie said as long as...

797. Don't fucking name-drop me!

798. We're gonna take a walk.

799. Well, right arm's still good, no?

800. You think that's funny?

801. Sorry.

802. Tell me what happened.

803. I did like you said. I stayed outside.

804. You must have disrespected them or something.

805. I... Oh!

806. I didn't do fuck!

807. Did you mention my name? That I sat down with Chris?

808. They didn't give a shit.

809. I don't think they like you.

810. I gotta pee.

811. Can you give me the thing?

812. You should get the nurse to help you.

813. That's what they get paid for.

814. Maybe she'll be fine and give you a cheap thrill.

815. Hello? Kelli?

816. Hiya, hon.

817. It's your sister.

818. Yeah.

819. Now, this is the most crucial part.

820. You put the pasta back in the pot.

821. You add a little gravy...

822. and a little butter.

823. Then you put the fire back on...

824. for 45 seconds.

825. Stir it up real nice.

826. - 45 seconds? - Yeah.

827. That way the macaroni absorbs the gravy

828. instead of just coats it.

829. This is for flavor.

830. I need a favor.

831. What?

832. I need a piece.

833. I mean, I don't need one, but, you know...

834. Anything you wanna tell me?

835. No, it's just I think it's time I...

836. you know.

837. What are you looking to get?

838. I don't know. What do you suggest?

839. Me, I like to know the motherfucker's gonna work.

840. And a.38...

841. it'll never jam on you.

842. Plus, it's small.

843. But if you're looking to make a point,

844. you might wanna go with something bigger.

845. Nah, it's not really for intimidation.

846. Just in case.

847. I'd go with the.38.

848. You can have this one.

849. I got another one under the bed.

850. How much I owe you for it?

851. Get out of here.

852. Your money's no good.

853. Macaroni's ready!

854. I just wanna tell you that I don't expect anything from you.

855. Well, kindness, but that's it.

856. Okay.

857. God!

858. You really are in love with yourself, aren't you?

859. What do you mean?

860. Conceited?

861. Self-centered.

862. Okay, there's a bunch of alternates

863. you could've said.

864. You deprive yourself of nothing.

865. You think I'm vain?

866. I think you're wonderful.

867. And her name is G.

868. Ah-ha.

869. Some of my accounts are in bad neighborhoods.

870. I know why you lie.

871. But you don't have to.

872. Can I hold it?

873. It's heavy.

874. Is it loaded?

875. Nothing more useless than an unloaded gun.

876. Here you go...

877. Mr. Waste Management.

878. Come here.

879. I mean, we're paying the school. We're buying a service.

880. And if it's their opinion

881. that he shouldn't get treated too harshly,

882. I mean, you gotta listen to the experts, right?

883. What else is going on? How was the rest of your week?

884. To be honest?

885. Very good.

886. Why is that?

887. Well, that's how life is, I guess.

888. Sometimes it's good, sometimes it's bad.

889. Things come, things go.

890. How are things between you and Carmela?

891. She was moody for a little while,

892. but now she's her old self.

893. Maybe it was coming here.

894. Possibly.

895. Well, you do look happy, I must say.

896. Yeah.

897. Went to the zoo the other day.

898. The zoo?

899. Yeah.

900. You know, sometimes you gotta get away

901. and stop and smell the gorilla shit.

902. It was good to be in nature, though.

903. And the zoo made you happy.

904. Yeah.

905. I think a lot of it's 'cause of you too.

906. Put a lot of time into me.

907. And now it's...

908. It's paying off.

909. The progress that you make is entirely up to you,

910. and how willing you are to be honest with yourself

911. and with me.

912. Well, I am improving.

913. You have to joyfully participate in the suffering of the world.

914. Your thoughts have a kind of Eastern flavor to them.

915. Well, I've lived in Jersey my whole life.

916. I mean Eastern in terms of Asian.

917. Like Buddhist or Taoist.

918. Sun Tzu.

919. I told you about him.

920. We have to stop now.

921. All right.

922. This is the co-pay I owe you from last month.

923. Well, you gave me too much.

924. Well, I gave you a little extra for the good results this week.

925. I can't accept it.

926. Give it to your favorite charity.

927. You better get your phone. I'll see you next week.

928. Hello?

929. Hi, Mom.

930. - Hi, Jason. - How are you?

931. I hate all of them.

932. Who?

933. My patients. All of them.

934. Lying to my face, full of shit,

935. with no concern for what I do

936. or the position that they put me in.

937. I just hate them.

938. Fuck 'em. Quit.

939. Right now, that doesn't sound like a bad idea.

940. I'm... I'm sorry.

941. How are you?

942. I'm okay.

943. I need to buy a couple of expensive books.

944. - Come stai? - Hey, Ton'. How's it going?

945. I'm doing all right. Excuse me.

946. I don't want no teammates.

947. - Ton'. What's going on? - How you doing?

948. Huh? You up?

949. No.

950. Take a hit.

951. Hit me.

952. See? You shouldn't have listened to me.

953. It's your hand.

954. Yeah, I would've hit anyway.

955. Come here, I wanna talk to you a minute.

956. What the fuck are you doing here?

957. You're here.

958. - What? - I was at a bachelor party.

959. I got dragged here. I didn't even want to come.

960. This is exactly what the fuck we talked about the other day.

961. Now get your money and get the fuck out of here.

962. - Sorry, Tony. - I never wanna see you here again.

963. You won't.

964. Smarten up.

965. Good morning.

966. New earrings.

967. I went out and treated myself.

968. They match.

969. I almost bought the necklace that goes along with them,

970. but some restraint.

971. Although Christmas is coming, so...

972. Maybe.

973. Any cannolis left from yesterday?

974. I think you can answer that question yourself.

975. Meadow still here?

976. Jackie Jr. took her to the city to see Aida.

977. "I eat her"?

978. It's the Elton John musical on Broadway.

979. Oh.

980. I have to say, you were right, Tony.

981. Jackie Jr. has really surprised me.

982. He's been a perfect gentleman.

983. He takes her to the city for a little culture.

984. He's great with A.J.

985. So long as she does good in school,

986. things could be a lot worse.
