- GoofsTony complains to Silvio, Christopher, and Paulie that Carmela is the one who convinced him to buy Whitecaps when in fact it was his idea from the beginning. However, they're not talking about Whitecaps but about the house the Sopranos live in, which is abundantly clear from context.
- Quotes
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: You know, when you asked me what Irina's cousin had, that you don't have? Well, I thought about it, 'cause it's a pretty good fucking question. And yes, she's sexy enough even with the one pin gone, but that's not it. I could converse with her 'cause she had something to say.
Carmela Soprano: I AM HERE! I have things to say!
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Besides bringing the fuckin' chairs down and sign the fucking trust! She was a grown fuckin' woman who was kicked around. And she's been on her own and she had to fight and struggle!
Carmela Soprano: Unlike me? Is that it?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Yeah.
Carmela Soprano: [shouting] Who the fuck wanted it like this? Who the fuck pissed and moaned of just the idea of me with a fucking real estate license?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Well, you sit back for 20 fucking years all you did was fiddle with the air conditioning and fucking bitch and complain! And fucking bitch, bitch, bitch to me! TO YOUR PRIEST! FUCK IT!
Carmela Soprano: Who knew all this time you wanted Tracy and Hepburn? Well Tony, what about all the thousand other fucking pigs you had your dick in over the years? The strippers, the cocktail waitresses, were they all your best friends all of them too?
[pause]
Carmela Soprano: You fucking hypocrite.

Everything that's been simmering in the Soprano marriage for four seasons comes out in this one. Carmela's resentment of Tony's cheating and her loneliness. Tony's resentment of Carmela's materialism. This is excellent acting by James Gandolfini and Edie Falco. And when you are so busy processing the raw emotions of the disintegration of a marriage that you don't notice the director is even there, that is a sure sign of said director's success. And just because you are grown - Meadow - or almost grown - AJ - doesn't mean that your parents splitting up doesn't shake you to the core, eliminating something that you thought you could count on. That is realistically stressed here.
But even this episode has its light side. Tony Soprano wants out of a real estate deal and you think you are just going to keep his deposit? And threaten him with legal action? Seriously? Apparently Tony did go to college for a semester and a half - or maybe he just really understands what makes people tick - because he obviously does understand psychology.
