Who made Tony Soprano
Dickie Moltisanti
[edit]- [to Tony] Look, you want to be a civilian, I appreciate that. I'm all for it. But pay attention to me for once, okay? You take the speakers, right? At the same time, you promise yourself these speakers are it. Now, you say to yourself, "This is the last time I'm ever gonna steal something." And you stick to it. It's that simple.
- The thing about remodeling is, you start with the sinks and then you go, "We might as well do this other thing while we're at it." It spins out of control.
Christopher Moltisanti
[edit]- [narrating the first lines of the movie] I told them when I got here, “Okay, I explored the criminal lifestyle.” But I was an altar boy, for Christ’s sake. Moltisanti is a religious name. And still I’m fucked. I met death on Route 23, not too far from here. But that was much later. Back in 1967, the man wearing the hat was my father. In those days, he didn’t have a son.
- [narrating the final lines of the movie] That's the guy, my uncle Tony. The guy I went to hell for.
Dialogue
[edit]- Richard 'Dickie' Moltisanti: My wife, she can't get pregnant. You know, it takes a toll. I want a son so bad. What would you do?
- "Sally" Moltisanti: It's the wanting.
- Richard "Dickie" Moltisanti: Huh?
- "Sally" Moltisanti: The Buddhist will tell you: "All life is pain." Pain comes from always wanting things.
- Richard "Dickie Moltisanti: A son is not a thing.
- "Sally" Moltisanti: It's the wanting.
- Livia Soprano: My God! What did they do?
- Police Officer: We raided a card game, but we got lucky. Picked up your husband on an outstanding warrant. Had to take ’em somewhere.
- Livia Soprano: Warrant? For what?
- Police Officer: Assault with a deadly weapon.
- Livia Soprano: The Lobster Trap Restaurant? That wasn’t him. He didn’t do that. Where is he?
- Police Officer: Downtown.
- Livia Soprano: He’s downtown, where he might get burned to death?! What are you people thinking?! [turns to a sobbing young Janice] Janice, shut up with that! What were the two of you doing at that card game?
- Young Tony Soprano: Dad took Janice to ride the rides while he played cards. But he wouldn’t take me because I passed gas while he was eating lunch.
- Livia Soprano: Get inside, both of you! [Janice runs upstairs into the house and Tony runs away] Anthony!
