She's a friend of mine from the club. Nice girl. I joined them later on. We got a little booze, you know. That was nice of you to have a party for your friend. Yeah. Tufts medical school. Uh-huh. You're a doctor. What do you think? About jackie? I'd have to know more about his condition. I told you about his condition. He's got cancer. What kind of cancer? It's in the intestines. There was a tumor and they took it out. And it's recurred. I thought you said he might go home. They're not operating? Well it's next to something vital. I see. You see. From what you're telling me it doesn't sound very good. From what I'm telling you. Well, what the fuck do I know, I'm not a doctor. You're angry, who with? Let me tell you something, this man has had chemo every day for three fucking weeks and he still has every last hair on his head. Every last hair on his head, and he's got a beautiful head of hair. So don't tell me about how it sounds 'cause you don't know him and you don't know me and you don't know what the fuck you're talking about. What's happening is we're getting closer to you confronting your true feelings about what's really going on. Wait a minute, wait a minute. I told you my true feelings. So why don't you tell me what's really going on? The tree in the painting? Rotted out, you said. There's nothing in that picture to indicate that. The fucking painting-- I knew that was a fucking scam. I knew that painting was a fucking scam. You remember your dream, the ducks? It took on another meaning. What happens to a tree that's rotted out? Trees, ducks what the fuck are you, ranger rick? I tell you some job you shrinks got you think everybody is lying to you, while you're pulling scams on them. Fuck you!

37 definites, we got another 13 maybes, plus the whole pediatric hospital board. Right. You sure we ordered enough champagne? Right. Jean says they shouldn't be too sober for the silent auction.

If anyone ever finds out you got this from me-- yes! Look at me. This is no joke. I know you and me don't always get along but I don't think you want to see me dead. I got to call hunter. You're the best. Hey! I'm serious. Just this once, okay? I'm no drug dealer. I just don't want to see you get poisoned. Your father ever finds out-- god, doesn't anyone ever knock? Tell brendan that hunter would rather die than go out with him. Brendan? Christopher, you keep that asshole away from that child, you understand me? The guy asked me to do him a favor, I did it, that's it. Alright, you delivered the message. Now let meadow study.

Two goombahs from the old neighborhood. What, they think they're gonna name it the soprano wing in the new hospital with the bulletproof glass? You know what I think, I think you're just jealous of their money. Me? Yeah. Okay, but explain to me this. The guy offers us two tickets to the caribbean out of pure friendship for me. You won't take 'em 'cause they're tainted, but for some snob-ass party it's alright I take his money to clean his toilets. First of all arthur, this is a paying job and not some cruise. Why do you always have to exaggerate? You're not cleaning his toilets, you're a chef. Good. So you don't mind that he fronts me some money for a new place, because he offered. Look at that face. Oh god, arthur, don't tell me you took money from tony soprano. How is it different? How is it different? I'm a chef, I need a place to cook. How? I'm giving carmella my support, that's how. And it's for a very reputable cause. But to have that man as a partner, trust me artie, that would be insane. It would mean the end of everything. At least he made the gesture. Name me another fucking person who offered us anything except the sopranos. You want to watch what you're doing? You're squeezing the quail.

You think we should turn on the air conditioning? It's going okay, I think, don't you think? Do you like the food? Who knows, I was so busy schmoozing, I barely had a bite. You are not gonna miss those little veal tonatas. Charmaine! Charmaine.
 

(Male) not in the car! (Male) shut up! Shut up! Get in that fucking car! Get in there... You miserable fucking...
 

I can't get used to having all these strangers in my house. Why'd you invite them? Try one of these. You're a fucking great cook, artie. I cook like this... It reminds me of what I lost. Having my restaurant ripped from me... I can't tell you. It was like losing a limb. Sometimes I lay in-- stata zit, stata zit! Enough already. Forget about the past, look to the future, okay? I'm sick of hearing about your fucking restaurant. Shut up about it, you depressing fucking jerk! What the fuck do you know about it? You motherfucker. You fucking jerk! C'mon. (Tony) see what you get?

Fucking sonofabitch! Get up, you stubborn fuck. Please. Too late for pleases, you stupid fuck. All this because you won't say yes to a divorce? It's not that simple! Why not? You sign your fuckin' name to a piece of paper. I don't like you. Yeah? I don't like you. How's that? You believe this prick? What do I get, huh? You work for nothing? I don't think so. I say we force feed him his sombrero. She wants to go to israel. I send her. She needs something done to her body, I pay. I feed her, I clothe her. I put a roof over her head. I spend a fortune. On top of that I work for her father for 20 years and put up with his abuse. I should walk away without a nickel? Tough fucking luck, ain't it, pal? You... Motherfucker. This guy's a bull. Paulie. If we don't kill this prick, we should put him to work.

Times a wastin'. I was lucky I could get out at all with that party tonight. (Phone) shit! Hello. Tony. Sorry to bother you down there. This thing isn't working out the way we hoped, with our friend with the funny sideburns. Alright, don't say no more on the phone. I'm coming down. Shit! I gotta go. You just got here. I know, but I gotta go. (Speaking russian) what's that painting mean to you? Nothing. It just reminds me of david hockey.

Want something to munch on? What are you, fucking kidding me? Most guys I know would be happy to get rid of their wife. I tried explaining the realities here. This guy is stubborn as a fucking mule. He says it's principal. I think we gotta-- you know. That's why we called you. I promised the father-in-law I wouldn't. I don't know what else to do. You're a stupid motherfucker, you know that? I've heard it said. What are you, proud of it? You kill me and a dark cloud goes over shlomo's house. Either way they'll be no "get" unless restitution is made. You really would let me kill you, you sick fuck. You ever heard of the masada? For two years, 900 jews held their own against 15 thousand roman soldiers. They chose death before enslavement. And the romans, where are they now? You're looking at them, asshole. "Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil for thou art with me." Hold that thought. (Phone) yeah. I'm here with my non-shellfish eating friend. I gotta tell you something, I'm tapped out. This guy won't listen to reason. Didn't I tell you, huh? Didn't I warn you to keep away from those fanatics? He's leaving me no options. This guy's willing to go down with the ship like no man I've ever seen. Here's a thought... Maybe he's willing to go to the world to come, but if he's stuck here on this earth, I know one thing that no man wants to go through life without. What? Oh. That's a fucking brilliant idea. Make like a mohel, huh? Finish his bris. Yeah. Paulie. Get the bolt cutters from out of the trunk. Ariel, we're going to plan B.

The phone has been ringing all morning. The rotelli's, the trillo's, he's got something to do with computers. They're a wonderful couple. She invited us to brunch. Really. Yep, but it was the food, mainie. Everybody raved about it. Cynthia ricci said, "oh, I loved those little rice balls." Like she never had arancin' before. Really mainie, I couldn't have done it without you. It just meant so much to me just having you here. It just made it so much fun for me. Mainie, is something wrong? You got something on your mind or something? What could be wrong? Listen, sweetie. I know it may not seem like it right now, but you guys will get back on your feet again. You'll see. Carmella, I'm fine where I am. I know, that's not what I meant. Carmella, I never wanted to tell you this. It happened so long ago. You and tony, you weren't even married. It's probably silly for me to even bring it up now. What? You were down at the shore with your parents that summer. You and tony were on the outs. He called me. He did? One thing led to another, we started dating each other. Carmella, I slept with him. You slept with tony? Really... It wasn't for me. Carmella, what i'm trying to say is stop worrying about me. Really. I mean, we both made our choices, I'm fine with mine.

I'd like for you to consider this. Don't give me that. What's going on? Why'd you page me? This fucking guy's trying to pull some bullshit, tony. Hey ZZ top, the guy gave you the get didn't he? But not because of you. You scared him, threatened him with castration. But it was business that brought him around. He wanted 50 percent, you wanted 25 percent. So I split the difference. I gave him 15 percent, he gives my daughter the divorce... And it's business, it worked out. Walk with me shlomo. Listen, don't worry. I'm taking good care of you here. What's that, what's that? For your considerable trouble. As the talmud says... I don't give a shit what he says. Now you listen to me. You want to give your son-in-law 15 percent of the motel? You go ahead, it comes out of your end. Now we got you your get, you get us our 25 percent. Got it? My son was right. Yeah? You're mud. Godless-- I created a living golem. What the fuck is a golem? It's a monster, frankenstein! Get the fuck out of here! Before I take that asshole son of yours and shove him up your ass! Shut up!

Hey. How you doing? One second. I got some good news. We're in the motel business, how do you like that? Read this. 102.7 maybe they should take my temperature with the other machine. Paulie's downstairs, he thinks he broke his hand on the guy's head. Digital. We're whaling on this guy, I'm threatening to cut his dick off. I should call a nurse. He's mumbling and rocking back and forth and praying. I'm trying to get his pants off. I think they should take my temperature again. Yeah, yeah, call her.

Poor jackie. God has his reasons. Olivia, he looked twice as old as me. So what's really on your mind? This christopher moltisanti. Christopher. What about him? Him and his little friend, they're slapping me in the face. And they're hiding behind tony. Tony always loved christopher like a son. And so do I, jr. He put up my storm windows for me one year. Good. What do I do? I just let him and his filone kid piss on me in public? How far do I go before I light a freaking match under that hot-headed son of yours? Maybe christopher could use a little talking to. You know. The other one... Filone? I don't know. You got a lot of sense for an old gal. No. I'm a babbling idiot. That's why my son put me in a nursing home.

37D53B70.JPG

He didn't even care I was there. It's just him and that fucking cancer. It's like he's already gone. Yes. Somebody called me a frankenstein today. Really? This hassid i'm doing business with. These hassids, they're out there but-- they got their beliefs, you know. They're not afraid of death. At least this one guy wasn't. Maybe they have the belief because they are afraid. I'm not afraid of death. Not if it's-- for something. You know, a war, something like that. A reason. But, jackie. To see this-- this strong, beautiful man... Just wither away to nothing. He can't do nothing about it. You can't fight it. Do you envy the hassids and their beliefs? All this shit's for nothing? And if all this shit's for nothing why do I got to think about it? That's the mystery, isn't it? The mystery of god or whatever you want to call it. Why we're given the questionable gift of knowing that we're gonna die. Do you feel like frankenstein? A thing? Lacking humanity? Lacking human feelings?

Thank you, that's for you, keep that. Say hello to freddy arnold, alright? What the fuck?! let me go, let me go! Listen. Your friends of tony's goomar, right? Listen, meadow wanted the crystal. If I didn't get it to her she would've went to jefferson avenue. You tell tony, they would've beat her, they would've raped her. I don't want to die now. I didn't mean it, I am sorry. Listen to me! I was trying to save her! Listen to me, you speak english! Don't shoot me, don't shoot! (Gun clicking) fuck!
