- Artie Bucco: Fazinella, my old man's meat guy: he said "The restaurant business is like keeping an elephant, costs a fortune and sooner or later it shits on your head." Fuckin western beef is leaving us for dead
- Charmaine Bucco: I wanted you to call the western beef guy but you were on the floor talking to the Cohen's mother-in-law
- Artie Bucco: You can't deal with that guy yourself? My "blushing flower"
- Charmaine Bucco: It's not the same for me, and the chatting with the guests
- Artie Bucco: [irritated] Again, that's it? It's not Hector or the meat or these assholes that are always looking for the next "hot thing", it's me!
- Charmaine Bucco: Limit it to a quick visit or a coffee, people want to talk to each other: not you
- Artie Bucco: Really? You know better than New Jersey's ad? "Artie Bucco, warm and convivial host"?
- Artie Bucco: [while looking at their business card after they introduced themselves] American Express: funny, I had you two for cops
- Kloski: in a past life. Actually, we're here to investigate recent credit card irregularities here at Nuovo Vesuvio
- Artie Bucco: [correcting his pronunciation of the restaurant name] Nuovo", "irregularities"?
- Hollings: well, there is credit card fraud going on in this restaurant
- Artie Bucco: [adamantly] that's impossible
- Hollings: based on cardholder disputes, we show nine "hits" in this location that proceed fraudulent activity
- Artie Bucco: [confused] what does that mean?
- Kloski: people's card numbers were copied and those numbers were used to "rack up" thousands of dollars in phony charges
- Artie Bucco: wait, you think I'm ripping off my own customers? That's insane
- Hollings: [hands him the list of victims] were these meals actually served?
- Artie Bucco: [after looking at the list] shit, Councilman Corillo, that was just two weeks ago
- Kloski: so, you understand, we have to suspend the use of our cards pending an investigation
- Artie Bucco: [nervously] suspend? You're cutting me off?
- Charmaine Bucco: [walking past them after entering the restaurant] what's going on?
- Artie Bucco: They're from Am EX, no more charges
- Charmaine Bucco: [surprised] what?
- Artie Bucco: [referring their profit is currently declining] someone's stealing. Guys, this is like thirty percent of my business here and I can't fuckin spare it right now
- Charmaine Bucco: [to Artie] please, don't curse, the minute you use profanity you give the "high moral ground" to do whatever they please
- Kloski: we need copies of your reservations and a list of anyone who has access to customer plastic
