• Arlene Riley : [while in the judge's chambers, referring to Junior Soprano]  your honor, this man should not be removed from custody for "medical reasons." Every time we get these elder Mafioso's incarcerated, we get the same "bag of tricks"

  Attorney Melvoin : Your honor, I take offense to the "characterization" of my client as a "Mafioso." Mr. Soprano has not been found guilty of anything: his awaiting trial for "alleged offenses"

  Judge Greenspan : Noted

  Attorney Melvoin : With all due respect to the state's medical facilities, in his condition, Mr. Soprano has every right to pursue the best possible medical care he can afford

  Arlene Riley : Mr. Soprano is suffering from a very benign illness: a few clogged arteries, your honor

  Judge Greenspan : I'm leaning towards on releasing this from lock up, unless you can demonstrate a "serious flight risk"?

  Judge Greenspan : Mr. Soprano, if I approve this, you will be under what is called "house arrest", do you understand this concept?

  Junior Soprano : Not really

  Judge Greenspan : It means you must remain in your primary residence, you cannot leave... except for doctor's appointments and food shopping

  Ralph Giorgio : Your honor, the government asks for an electronic bracelet

  Attorney Melvoin : Your honor, while we certainly agree to house arrest, we are "asking" that Mr. Soprano not to "persecuted" for yet to be proven allegations. He shows no prior arrest since 1968, he pays his taxes and he's a veteran of the Second World War

  Judge Greenspan : Mr. Soprano, do you have any "problem" wearing an electric bracelet?

  Junior Soprano : It sounds like Nazi Germany to me

  Judge Greenspan : Obviously, you need a history lesson... sir

  Attorney Melvoin : I don't think that "we", you and I should let our "shared sorrows" or "biases" enter into this judge

  Judge Greenspan : [Ignoring his comment]  his wearing a bracelet... to avoid any "risk of flight"

• Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [while visiting him in prison, talking through telephone intercom]  three fuckin weeks it took you to put me on your visitor's list?

  Junior Soprano : I was being careful: these motherless fucks listen to everything

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : A nephew is visiting his uncle... who loves him

  Junior Soprano : I got nothing to say to you

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : So many tragedies and near tragedies close to you huh?

  Junior Soprano : Don't be so smart: things could've gone the other way my little nephew

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Yeah but they didn't. So what's all this shit I'm hearing about your heart?

  Junior Soprano : This problem between you and me had, I want you to know your mother had nothing to do with it

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : She's dead to me

  Junior Soprano : She's a sick woman, she don't have all her marbles

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Who the fuck you kiddin? It's killing you that people are talkin and an old woman made an asshole out of you

  Junior Soprano : That's half as bad are the rumors floating around this place is about you: how Tony Soprano likes to fluff up his mother's pillows so she can get a nice long sleep

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Who said that?

  Junior Soprano : You want to make all this nonsense disappear? Make peace with her: make it look like there's no bad blood, it'll be good for all of us

  Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : No fuckin way. You tell that fat fuck Bacala, to come out from his mouse hole, I want to see him tomorrow
