Carmine Lupertazzi quotes from The Sopranos

Billy Leotardo. What the hell was that?

Johnny Sack

I want you to sanction a hit on Ralph Cifaretto.

What, are you fuckin' kiddin' me?

Johnny Sack

He violated my wife's honor.

Ralph slept with Ginny?

Johnny Sack

He insulted her. He made a very insensitive joke about her body to some friends of ours.

What did he say?

Johnny Sack

I have to repeat it? My word's not good enough?

Not if you want him clipped over it.

Johnny Sack

He said she was havin' a 90 pound mole removed from her ass. The implication was that her ass is so big, she can have a mole that size removed from it.

It's an off-color remark; it was highly inappropriate. You want, I'll demand he's taxed. But clip him? [shakes his head no]

Johnny Sack

Is, is it all just about money?

I'll crack him good. I'll ask for two hundred grand.

Johnny Sack

Two hundred grand for insulting my wife? What's next Carmine, he get to fuck her for a million?!

He wants to fuck her?

Johnny Sack

I'm making a point, I'm talkin' about my wife's honor here, my honor!

We depend on this guy. There are millions of dollars at stake. We can't afford it John.

Johnny Sack

A room full of guys making fun of my wife and you're not gonna let me deal with this?

Not that way. My answer's gotta be no.

Johnny Sack

I want a sit down then with Ralph, fucking thief. Get this Fernandez paving bullshit dealt with.

Tony Soprano

Alright, fine; you tell me who told you about him, we'll bring him in here. He corroborates with what you're saying, I'll give you Ralph on a platter.

Johnny Sack

Is nothing scared? I mean, this is my wife we're talking about here. If this was years ago would I even have had to ask? I mean, what happened to this thing? For God's sake, we bend more rules than the Catholic Church!

Tony Soprano

Alright look, let's assume for the sake of argument Ralph said what you think he said - is clipping him going to un-ring that bell?

Nobody's getting clipped.

Johnny Sack

I want satisfaction.

Silvio Dante

Will you accept an apology?

Johnny Sack

That ship that has sailed.

You're being unreasonable, John!

Johnny Sack

Ralph Cifaretto the only one who can handle the Esplanade? Put Pontecorvo in there.

There's millions of dollars at stake.

Johnny Sack

Again with the money?

Yeah, again with the money. It's settled, John. So either name a price or get the fuck over it.

[on the phone] I took John to dinner last night. Ralph's got a big problem, kid.

Tony Soprano

I thought you squashed it?

I did. Problem is, I don't know if John's hearing me.

Tony Soprano

So, what are you gonna do about it?

Me? Nothing.

Tony Soprano

What does that mean?

I didn't say nothing. We share the Esplanade, Tony. I don't want that apple cart upset.

Tony Soprano

Yeah, then somebody should do something about it.

I appreciate your thoughts.

Tony Soprano

[after a long pause] You saying what I think you're saying?

I didn't say nothing.

Alright then, I'll talk to you.

As we know, Phil asked me to arrange this meeting after the fire in his wire room.

Phil Leotardo

Correction. You asked me to fuckin' attend. I agreed.

Fair enough. Now I won't call it a sit-down because of the inclement negative implications. Let's think of it as... a meeting of minds. Now for whatever reason, certain incidents have expired lately that in addition to being dangerous could have an adverse impact on our respective bottom lines.

Phil Leotardo

I know Vito's bottom was impacted if that's what you're referring to.

Tony Soprano

Call him what you will but you're talkin' about one of my captains.

Phil Leotardo

Captain? The Good Ship Lollipop, right?

Phil, please.

Phil Leotardo

Please, my ass. The man was a fuckin' disgrace.

Tony Soprano

Well, before he came outta the closet, he worked for me. And he put a lot of money in my pocket. And yours too.

Phil Leotardo

Talk about earners? How 'bout Fat Dom Gamiello?

Silvio Dante

What about 'im?

Phil Leotardo

He's M.I.A. A lot of people are concerned for his well-being.

Tony Soprano

So what the fuck would I know about that?

Phil Leotardo

Well as coincidence would have it, he was last seen in New Jersey.

Tony Soprano

So was the Hindenburg. Maybe you wanna look into that too.

Tony, please. Phil. We're gettin' off point. I grew up in this, guys. And I just lost my friend Rusty. And for reasons I will discern in time, believe me. If there's one thing my father taught me, it's this; a pint of blood costs more than a gallon of gold. My business, all of our businesses, this infighting's costing money.

Tony Soprano

I'm willin' to move forward. Let the past be bygones.

Phil Leotardo

Fine with me.

A wise decision... on both your parts. Now what I'd love to see is a truce. Wipe the slate clean. The no-shows. The wire room. Vito... put it all behind us.

Tony Soprano

Yeah...

Your brother Billy, whatever happened there...

Tony Soprano

Alright then, uh...

Phil Leotardo

"Whatever happened there?!"

The shooting.

Phil Leotardo

"Whatever happened there?!"

God rest his soul, huh?

Phil Leotardo

I'll tell you what fuckin' happened; this piece of shit's cousin...

Tony Soprano

Calm down Phil.

Phil Leotardo

...put six bullets in the kid without any provocation whatsoever!

Tony Soprano

My cousin's dead.

Phil Leotardo

Fuck you!

Phil, hey we were makin' headway here. I didn't mean to say...

Phil Leotardo

Fuck what you meant, cocksucker! Come on!

Tony Soprano

Jesus Christ, Carmine, what the fuck? Why would you possibly bring that up?

It didn't have to be this way.

Butch DeConcini

We agreed. It's gone too far. Phil...I don't know, he's changed. You got my word. We'll back off.

Tony Soprano

My price is you help us get a location on Phil.

Butch DeConcini

I can't go there. But you do what you gotta do.

Tony Soprano

One more thing. You hit my brother in-law.

Butch DeConcini

So?

Tony Soprano

This is my sister we're talkin' about. She's gotta see somethin' outta this.

Butch DeConcini

We'll come up with a number? (Tony agrees and shakes hands with Butch)
