Tony - GiGi died taking a shit

[haironmelfistwat]

"Carruunnnchhhhhhh..." the sound made when the SUV ran over Phil's head. Too bad it wasn't Chase's head instead... what a letdown.

[RefLib]

Don't have the words, but the way Tony hijacked AJ's therapist. And the series of looks on Carmela's face as she observed the hijack.

[tomahawk]

"Say good-bye to Grandpa - Bye-Bye."

[billymac]

Uncle Junior to Tony (about his money): Everybody keeps asking. A man from another galaxy came here.

Tony: He's your accountant.

[RefLib]

Agent Harris on airline terrorist: We get this stuff all the time.

Meadow: AJ

AJ: y eats?

Other guy: Yeats (pronounced Yates)

[RefLib]

Janice: I had therapy. I'm a good mother.

Yeah, right. Livia reincarnated.

[RefLib]

AJ in regards to Bob Dylan's Masters of War:

People kept telling me. This guy is good.

[tomahawk]

I am paraphrasing this, but I did laugh out loud on this one:

AJ: - At least I didn't have much gas in my tank. KA-BOOM!

[RefLib]

Janice hands Junior a picture of her and Bobby's baby girl. He says "Janice, as innocent as she looks she left my stove on and put the flame out with a wet cloth."

Janice looked a little guilty, like maybe she had tried to gas Junior.

[ExNJGal]

Paulie - eveyrone knows cats suck the life outta babies...

[RefLib]

Paulie: One time I was alone in the Bing. I saw the Virgin Mary

Tony: Why didn't you say something. We could have sold holy water in jugs. Made millions of dollars.

[Universal Polymath]

"Don't Stop - "

Black.

Once again, a brilliant little edit/song choice by Chase.

[OhPoorYou]

Did anyone catch what Paulie said in response to AJ's comments at the restaurant after Baccala's funeral? When Bobby's neice said she didn;t understand what AJ was talking about becuase he was bouncing all over the place during his ramble, and then Paulie said "He said...." but I couldn't quite catch what it was, sounded funny as hell though.

[dad1153]

Tony to AJ (after the latter has told his father he's joining the military): You know what, don't tell your mother anything. I won't tell her either.

Cut to Tony telling Carmela: He's joining the fucking army.

Cut to Carmela soaking in bathtub (comfortably numb?): dead silence.

I laughed out loud the two times I saw this. Simply brilliant.

My other favorite was the line heard by the passing tourist bus: 'Little Italy used to be 40 blocks. Since then it has been reduced to a small street with coffee shops and stores.' :icon_mrgreen:

[miffled]

all right, sure, go ahead. i'm a little miffled, but yeah, sit with it.

[miffled]

long story short, it's about a private detective that gets sucked into the internet thru his data port and he's gotta solve some murders of some virtual prostitutes.

[EndofAlice]

Tony: Fuck the strippers, we could've had a shrine.

[dad1153]

Tony to Paulie after the latter complains about the cat staring at Christopher's picture: "I'll tell you something, though. Since his death, my gambling luck's done a 180." :icon_mrgreen:

[sparkyboy767]

Junior: Well that's nice...

[d4rko]

Did anyone catch what Paulie said in response to AJ's comments at the restaurant after Baccala's funeral? When Bobby's neice said she didn;t understand what AJ was talking about becuase he was bouncing all over the place during his ramble, and then Paulie said "He said...." but I couldn't quite catch what it was, sounded funny as hell though.

Was wondering what was it too. My english becomes limited when Paulie opens his mouth. :icon_wink:

[bobC]

When Harris gets word of the hit, he sputters, "We're gonna win this one," quoting a real-life alleged dirty fed, Lindley DeVecchio.

Paulie's response: "He's saying that the framus intersects with the ramistan approximately at the pot a nostra." (Or something like that.)

[Watsamata]

Don't have the words, but the way Tony hijacked AJ's therapist. And the series of looks on Carmela's face as she observed the hijack.


"I never could please my mother"

"My mother was a bordline personality"

[anthony]

When the black kid blew chunks after Phil's head was rolled over. Then the older black guy saying "Holy *&$#". I was hi fiving and lmao!!

[anthony]

Also, when Tony pulled up on AJ running up the hill rolling down the windows followed by the Rocky theme song.

"Tan tan tan tan tan tan ta ta tannn, tan tan tan tan tan tan ta ta tannnn, taaan taaan ta ta tan ta tan ta tan."

We were on the floor!!

[madribub]

AJ to Carm: "Always with the drama." Him coming down in the bathrobe and that line, he is becoming his dad.

[Lawdog]

Paulie, after mangling the "in the midst of life we are in death" aphorism:

"Either version, you're halfway up the ass!"

[d4rko]

Paulie's response: "He's saying that the framus intersects with the ramistan approximately at the pot a nostra." (Or something like that.)

Thanks :)

So, he's saying nothing right? damn it looked really funny :icon_mrgreen:

[Universal Polymath]

Just picked up on this one:

Meadow: "The state can crush the individual."
Tony (skeptically): "New Jersey?"

[Lawdog]

Tony, while talking with Agent Harris about the incident at Newark airport, mentioning that he thought AJ was "making a molehill" out of the whole terrorist/Middle East conflict. Another classic goombah malapropism.

[peeayebee]

When AJ tells Tony that he's going to join the Army:

Tony: "Are you nuts? You want to get sent to Iraq?"
AJ: "Afghanistan. The Army's probably good for my career."
Tony: "You don't have a career."
AJ: "Right. But my ultimate goal is to qualify for helicopter pilot training. Afterwards, go to work for Trump or somebody, be their personal pilot."

[Pork Store]

*Birds chirping in background background*
Tony to Junior: "Enough with the fucking birds! I'm Anthony. Johnny's son."

AJ to Tony: "I'm depressed. I'm supposed to go around looking for piles of leaves?"

[jayneezy]

AJ - "I'm depressed. I'm supposed to go around looking for piles of leaves"

MEADOW - "What I said was, the state can crush the individual."
TONY - "New Jersey?"

AJ - We have to break our dependance on foreign oil....

[khope07]

Meadow: Listen to Mr Fat mouth

[The Truth]

Junior: Ambassador Hotel

ROFLMAO!!! Thanks! I thought that's what he said!

[PFloyd69]

Junior: What do you want, a fuckin boutonniere?

[haironmelfistwat]

Paulie's response: "He's saying that the framus intersects with the ramistan approximately at the pot a nostra." (Or something like that.)

That's called "double talk" and there was a comedian in the 1950s who told stories peppered with double talk. Paulie would have remembered that because "framus" and "ramistan" were words this comedian used. Damn, I'm aging myself here...

[TommySoprano]

Janice: Bobby is dead.

Junior: Ambassador Hotel.

[bobC]

Meadow: You know what really turned me? Seeing the way Italians are treated. It's like Mom says. And if we can have our rights trampled like that, imagine what it's like for recent arrivals.

Tony: Well...

Meadow: If I hadn't seen you dragged away all those times by the FBI, then I'd probably be a boring suburban doctor.

[Little Pussy Malanga]

What I found real intersting about Paulie using the "framus and ramistan" bit is that Tony used the exact same quote in melfis office a few seasons ago in response to some overtly medical terminology (can't recall the exact episode right now, but it was DEFINITELY used)

[Guywiththegun]

"You can take 2007 and give it back to the Indians!"

My favorite.

Are you referring to Al Kelly?

Now I'm showing my age; but then age is just a number.

[Rob]

When Tony went to the safehouse where Carm and the kids were staying. She expressed concern about the odors in the house being toxic.

Tony: "It's not toxic, the odors are what, 90 years old? It's piss."

[bobC]

While Tony and Carmela are talking to AJ's therapist.

Tony: My mother was a borderline personality. So what!

================================================== ==

Carmela: He (AJ) spent $200. on a set of CDs that teach Arabic.

Tony: Jesus Christ come on, "shis-ka-bob" what else do you need to know.

Phil Leotardo: "My scrapbook contains no scraps." (Might have been in "Blue Comet.")

You know, I think that was Al Kelly. Sometimes he was on Ed Sullivan and on Ernie Kovacs.

[jonelikate]

Paulie says to Tony something like "I live to serve you, my Liege." I never loved Paulie more than at that moment.

[RefLib]

Paulie says to Tony something like "I live to serve you, my Liege." I never loved Paulie more than at that moment.

You turned it around a bit. He said, "My Liege, I live to serve you."

Now we just have to find out where that quote came from, and the context of it. Then we will know if the original was a servant or a turncoat. Then we might know more about Paulie's real feelings.

Hell Yeah! Very funny quote!:icon_biggrin:

[tomahawk]

I thought Little Carmine's "It didn't have to be this way" was a funny line. No kidding Carmine. If you had just kept your mouth shut about Billy being killed in that previous sitdown, there was a real chance for peace.

[RefLib]

Nope, the first poster had it right :icon_wink:

I stand corrected: "I live but to serve you, my liege."

Thanks for clearing up any confusion caused by my mistake.

[Detective Hunt]

At first I thought he said pork and then on a re-watching realized it was this:

Jason Gervasi to his father at the Bacala wake: "Look Dad, they got a real spork!"

LMAO! :icon_mrgreen:

Don't you just hate these damn things. It's like a transexual eating device--it doesn't know if it wants to be a fork or a spoon. All it is is a lousy fork and a dangerous spoon. Anytime I'm invited to a picnic or barbecue, I carry my own utensils so I don't have to use one of these things. :icon_biggrin: :icon_biggrin: :icon_biggrin:

Though I'm not really familiar with sporks, aren't these more of a serving utensil rather than an eating device? :icon_question:

[haironmelfistwat]

Actually, they are quite common eating utensils included in pre-packed picnic baskets, and you can always find them in the paper aisle at the supermarket. Originally they were thought to be very modernistic and cool, but in the end they are not very useful. The tines are so small that it's difficult to use as a fork, and the sharp tines make it's use as a spoon often painful.

This is not a real quote but is a reference to the "ring tone" on Paulie's pre-paid cell when Tony called him back at the Bada Bing, after Paulie called to report that Carlo was missing.

Since I don't think Chase makes too many mistakes, it is good to check the details.

Here are the lyrics to the ring tone tune:

Cecilia

Celia, you're breaking my heart, you're shaking my confidence daily.
Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees, I'm begging you please, to come home.
Celia, you're breaking my heart, you're shaking my confidence daily.
Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees, I'm begging you please, to come home, come on home.

Making love in the afternoon with Cecilia up in my bedroom.
I got up to wash my face, when I come back to bed, someone's taken my place.

Celia, you're breaking my heart, you're shaking my confidence daily.
Oh Cecilia, I'm down on my knees, I'm begging you please, to come home, come on home.

Jubilation, she loves me again, I fall on the floor and I'm laughing.
Jubilation, she loves me again, I fall on the floor and I'm laughing.

[RefLib]

The lawyer beating on the Heinz ketchup bottle while he is talking with Tony about Grand Jury testimony.

Heinz Ketchup just has to imply something about John Kerry, married to the Heinz heiress during his presidential campaign.

Could be a stretch, but I doubt they would have spent that much camera time on it if there was not something deeper than Tony getting upset with the lawyer beating on the bottle.

And for the guy, the one who always comes up with "people are reading too much into this".

Well, maybe we are, but maybe you are missing something.

Little Miss Sunshine scene on the television in Sil's hopsital room. It shows the opening of the movie where a little girl's excitement over a talent competition is the beginning of the unfolding scenes revealing a very dysfunctional family, who are brought together to help the little girl achieve her dream.

They never realize until that trip, the fact that they had all gone on with their own lives, while allowing the grandfather to train her for her talent competition, would lead to a family humilitation when she displayed the talent that would reveal their marginal dysfunction to the world.

Yet, that was their bond in the end. Some kind of love for each other in spite of the dysfunction.


In case anyone can't tell, I am hoping to start up discussion points that do not focus on the end, but on the many interesting details in the final episode.

[RefLib]

Last post of the night:

AJ's new car has license plate 51C RDX.

The fact that it is prominently placed, as AJ drives out of his new job on the way to the high school to pick up his girlfriend, will lead to much speculation in the future.

Probably people will find some meaning in it eventually. I get the RDX but not the 51C part of the puzzle. There was no need for an extended close up of it if there is no meaning.

The words of the song playing during the new car scene as AJ picks up his girlfriend: "scatch your name into the fabric of this world".

David Chase certainly scatched his name onto the fabric of this world. Thank you for sharing the adventure, DC.

[RefLib]

I just found this on a community page:

Safety Tips: Please do not park your vehicle over dry leaves. When a vehicles catalytic converter gets hot, it can ignite leaves. And please watch out for children who may be playing in raked leaves.


Looks like either Chase took part of his dialogue from a page like this, or Chase made communities aware of a potential problem.

[Splishak]

Tips: Please do not park your vehicle over dry leaves. When a vehicles catalytic converter gets hot, it can ignite leaves. And please watch out for children who may be playing in raked leaves.

They don't even say how long it takes for a pile of wet leaves to dry?

[SilvioMancini]

Reflib:

What the F**K does RDX mean? Its seemingly way over my head? Please explain to my ignorant mind? Someone? I am very intrigued...............

[Splishak]

Did you try to Google RDX? It's right at the top of the Google list.

RDX is an abbreviation for a powerful explosive manufactured and used during WWII.

http://www.dyerlabs.com/glossary/abbreviation/q-r.html#r

[bonham]

hi there from Spain. I'll give it a shot:

51C stands for SIC. Everyone at the family has been nuts, especially AJ

RDX is the acronym for the explosive commonly know as T4, and T4 must reffer to Tony the fourth or "Tony, of the fourth Soprano's generation.

Then we have "Tony, the 4th generation of sic's"

[richjcrouch]

Over here in England we use 'sic' when we quote someone or something with a spelling mistake/malaproprism.

It's often used when quoting American people. For example, if I were writing about rainbows, and I found a quote that said 'Rainbows have pretty colors' I would have to quote it like this 'Rainbows have pretty colors [sic]' instead of changing the word 'color' to 'colour', thereby spelling it correctly! :icon_wink:

Tony Soprano: You shot me!

Corrado "Junior" Soprano: Fuck you want? A boutonnière?

[badabellisima]

Thanks for posting that quote MIMOJ, because thats one of the main reasons i argued way back when- that Uncle Junior is not 100% deranged and still basically has most of his marbles. A crack like that could not come from a man who was not aware of what he had done. i'm hoping somewhere out there we have a member or guest following this site that has some sort of professional/educated background on this subject and will comment, because i think that they have specific criteria to determine insanity, and they grade or evaluate conversations like that to determine to what extent his mind has really detached or whatever. Within the supreme confidence of "this thing of ours" between Tony and his uncle in that moment, Uncle June could reveal his true heart to Tony, as well as all of us. That shot from the hip was pure Corrado at his best.

From Italian Baby names: http://italian.about.com/library/name/blname_corrado.htm

Corrado
English translation/equivalent: Conrad
Origin: Derived from Germanic name Konrad composed from kuoni- &audacious, daring" and radha-
"assembly, council," therefore meaning "ardent councilman."
Name Day/Onomastico: February 19—in honor of the Franciscan St. Conrad Confalonieri, nobleman of Piacenza (died 1354).

[Man-In-MembersOnly-Jacket]

Janice Soprano: Uncle Jun, I'm afraid I have bad news... Bobby's dead.

Corrado "Junior" Soprano: Ambassador Hotel.
