It's your ball. You make the rules.
I don't make 'em, they've always been there.
♪ (MUSIC CONTINUES) ♪
You know why we're here. So if you've any doubts
or reservations, now's the time to say so.
'Cause once you enter this family,
there's no getting out...
Anthony, I told you to wait in the car.
(SCREAMING)
Anthony, what I fucking tell you?
What? Your father never cut off anybody's pinkie?
Let's be honest about the great Dickie Moltisanti.
My dad, your hero, wasn't much more
than a fucking junkie.
Chrissy's not Tony's nephew. Chrissy's Carmela's cousin.
She was first cousins with Dickie Moltisanti.
So Tony calls Chrissy his nephew.
You're a made guy now. It's your turn
to make some real money, and onward goes
this thing of ours.
We are a family. And even in this
fucked-up day and age, that means something.
So we're gonna deal with this as a family... together.
SILVIO DANTE:
I don't know what I was thinking.
For you.
You know, I don't want to say nothing.
Where's the rest of the money?
It's everywhere.
Thought you were at the beauty parlor.
For you.
You don't got an envelope?
This husband of yours, Carmela, how much we love him.
-He's the best. -Come on.
He's like a father to me.
TONY SOPRANO:
The Sopranos have been waiting a long time to take the reins.
That's why I want it to be you, Uncle June.
I'm the boss of this family, you forget.
I forget nothing.
Back the fuck off, all due respect.
Respect?
What the fuck do you know about respect?
What happens I decide, not you.
'Cause you don't gotta love me, but you will respect me.
(SCREAMING)
You go to Phil, I go with you, hats in hand, bended knees.
TONY:
Used to be a guy got pinched you took his prison jolt
no matter what.
Everybody upheld a code of silence.
Guy's today have no room for the penal experience.
So everybody turns government witness.
I think certain people are starting to wonder
where your heart is.
People who? Tony?
What the fuck's that supposed to mean?
Did you do it?
-Tony... -(SHUSHES)
Don't fucking lie to me.
Most of the guys in this life, there's no fucking honor.
Forget your enemies, you can't even depend
on your friends.
Fuck family, fuck loyalty, it cost him a dime?
You're a fucking pariah.
You know I could take him out in a second. Bang!
So much for loyalty, huh?
You remember one thing and this you better hear.
You wanna talk all this old-school bullshit
about the rules? Well here's a rule
you might remember.
I'm the mother fucking fucking one who calls the shots.
All due respect, you got no fucking idea
what it's like to be number one.
Every decision you make affects every facet
of every other fucking thing.
That's what being a boss is.
It's leadership, the best way you know.
Sometimes it's smooth, sometimes you hit the rocks.
You got a reputation for immaturity.
And that's not gonna be improved by not paying the tributes
the acting boss demands of you.
Acting boss my ass, Tony, come on.
Everybody knows you really run things.
The Sopranos have two bosses.
That's not all it's cracked up to be, believe you me.
Let's not get into that right now. Eh?
I live but to serve you, my liege.
We're in a situation where, everybody involved
knows the stakes. And if you're gonna
accept those stakes...
-This is business, Anthony. -There's a limit, Phil.
A point where business bleeds into other shit.
Feelings make things financially unfeasible.
(EXPLOSION BOOMS)
All of our businesses, this infightings costing money.
-Let the past be bygones. -Fine with me.
A wise decision, on both your parts.
You know where I was yesterday when you called?
I was outside a whore house, while a guy that works for me
was inside beating the shit out of a guy
that owes me money.
-Here. -TONY:
put a bullet in his knee cap.
(SCREAMING) Tony, I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
I'm just having some bad luck.
-It just got worse. -(SCREAMS)
TONY:
(GROANS)
You're a captain. What do you want to do?
Fuck it. Let's go home.
Well let's be clear on this right now,
this cocksucker crawls out from under a rock,
he's your problem, not mine.
My uncle... got me in a box where I gotta do something
I don't want to do.
This being made ain't working out
the way I thought it would.
Go home, get some sleep. Tomorrow's a new day.
I've made a decision.
Anthony Soprano has no respect for this thing.
We decapitate and we do business with whatever's left.
(GUNSHOTS FIRE)
What the fuck did I say?
-I'm sorry, T, I just thought-- -Now I gotta unfuck
what you just fucked up!
-(GROANING) -You know one thing
about us wise guys...
I work hard all day to pay for this
six-thousand square-foot house, big screen TVs,
food on the table, video games.
And for what? To come home to this?
Sucks to be you.
There's no fucking money. You're supposed to be earners.
That's why you got the top-tier position.
So each one of you, go out to your people
on the street, crack some fucking heads,
create some fucking earners out there!
This is my corner. You pay anyone but me,
I'm coming back for your dump.
(SIGHS) I-- I don't know what to say.
Don't say anything...
You know what you need here, top-notch mozzarella maker,
like that kid from the other side.
Best fucking cheese we've ever had.
ALL:
You're not Italian if you don't like artichokes.
Yeah, no cactus for me.
Fine... Enjoy your lasagna.
That's all anybody ever talks about is prosciutto,
cheese, and fucking fava beans,
I'm drowning here.
TONY: When you're married you'll understand
the importance of fresh produce.
So what? No fucking ziti now?
ALL: Hey!
