Carmela Soprano
- Carmela Soprano: Fine, I'm not gonna argue with you Tony. If you want her to leave then you're gonna have to tell her cause I'm not. It's not Christian.
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Well see this shit works out, she's a Buddhist.
- Carmela Soprano: [referring to Meadow's punishment, while lying in bed] There has to be consequences. What kind of parents would we be if we let her get away with this?
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Typical?
- Carmela Soprano: [referring to Meadow, while lying in bed] So, what did she have to say for herself?
- Tony Soprano: The usual shit, "wasn't my fault."
- Carmela Soprano: There was designer drugs there, Tony. So, what did you say?
- Tony Soprano: I don't know, I yelled. What the fuck else am I gonna do?
- Tony Soprano: [while going through their refrigerator, referring to Janice] can she put anymore gook food in here?
- Carmela Soprano: It's not that much
- Tony Soprano: Soy milk this, tofu that: I hate all that shit
- A.J. Soprano: Yeah me too
- Meadow Soprano: [to AJ] shut up you said you liked the soy milk
- A.J. Soprano: I lied, she was taking me to the video store
- Meadow Soprano: I'm happy aunt Parvati is gonna stay
- Tony Soprano: Oh, you mean the aunt that doesn't think you get punished enough?
- Meadow Soprano: [raises her voice] that party wasn't my fault, how many fucking times do I have to say it?
- Tony Soprano: [surprised by her outburst] Whoa!
- Carmela Soprano: [chastising her for cursing] hey!
- Carmela Soprano: [to Meadow] don't look like your gonna cry, you made your bed
- Meadow Soprano: I need fifteen dollars
- Carmela Soprano: Excuse me?
- Meadow Soprano: The Cole Porter CD: it's for Magicals, we're doing three of their songs. You took my card remember?
- Tony Soprano: [When she doesn't say anything after he gives her the money] what's your problem?
- Meadow Soprano: [before leaving] nothing
- Janice Soprano: Have you seen what she did?
- Tony Soprano: Who?
- Janice Soprano: Meadow: that house is fucked
- Tony Soprano: I thought you didn't swear?
- Carmela Soprano: [Entering the room] what are you talking about?
- Janice Soprano: I am outraged. No, I am beyond outraged, talk about disgrace, disrespect for other people's property. That place looks like a shooting gallery, it smells of urine, there's puke all over the beautiful hardwood floors...
- Tony Soprano: [Interrupts her, sarcastically] sounds like your apartment in Venice
- Carmela Soprano: Don't worry about it: she's been punished
- Janice Soprano: [Sarcastically] oh my God, three weeks without a credit card, that's some heavy shit there
- Janice Soprano: You know if that was my child...
- Tony Soprano: [Angrily interrupts her, slaps his bowl of cereal on the floor] you know what? Fuck this, you got a lot of fuckin balls, you know that?
- Janice Soprano: Don't talk to me like that
- Tony Soprano: No, let's "clear the air" here. You ride into town like the "mission come lately", trying to play the "concerned daughter" who the fuck are you kidding? Your just here to pick the friggin bones
- Janice Soprano: [Sternly] there's a lot I could say that I'm not gonna say
- Tony Soprano: [Before walking away, referring to her demeanor] a lot of balls
- Janice Soprano: Temper tantrums: he hasn't changed one iota since we lived in Newark, not one iota
- Carmela Soprano: You are passing judgment on him: on us as parents. I told you once already, how we discipline our children is none of anybody's business
- Janice Soprano: You let that girl ride rough shot over you, some day your gonna regret it
- Carmela Soprano: Mother of God, are all of you Sopranos the same? I asked you nicely to stay out of it, you pretend you don't hear me, well maybe you'll hear this? Mind your fucking business, keep your mouth shut when it comes to my kids alright?
- Janice Soprano: [Feeling guilty] maybe I've stayed here too long?
- Carmela Soprano: [Referring to Meadow] Alright, let's get her down here.
- Tony Soprano: I guess, where is the bride of Frankenstein?
- Carmela Soprano: She's still sleeping.
- Tony Soprano: You're right, go wake her up.
- Carmela Soprano: I wake her up?
- Tony Soprano: Yeah, I want to get this shit out of the way before I go out.
- Janice Soprano: Let her sleep, you guys are making too much of this.
- Carmela Soprano: I don't think we're making enough, she was drunk.
- Janice Soprano: It's her choice. There's a Zuni saying "For every twenty wrongs a child does, ignore nineteen."
- Tony Soprano: There's an old Italian saying "You fuck up once, you lose two teeth."
- Janice Soprano: See? That's what this is all about, ego and control.
- Carmela Soprano: I beg your pardon?
- Tony Soprano: No, please don't try and make sense with her.
- Carmela Soprano: No, I want to understand this. Go ahead, tell me.
- Janice Soprano: You want to hold onto control over a young woman whose entire biological determinism is to achieve independent thought and behavior. Because she's "exercised" her independence, you want to penalize her because you don't agree with her choices.
- Carmela Soprano: [to Meadow while she walks into the kitchen] Well?
- Carmela Soprano: Good morning, I'm sorry, is it afternoon?
- Meadow Soprano: Mom, please.
- Carmela Soprano: Please, what? You better have some answers, young lady.
- Tony Soprano: Yeah, that's right.
- Carmela Soprano: [after she remains silent] OK, fine, you're punished.
- Meadow Soprano: For what? I didn't do anything.
- Tony Soprano: Oh, you call what you did to grandma's house "nothing"?
- Meadow Soprano: [Raising her voice] It wasn't my fault.
- Carmela Soprano: It's never your fault, Meadow.
- Meadow Soprano: It was just supposed to be me, Hunter, and the Mackalalooso twins and Steve shows up with his asshole friend Adam and a bunch of people from Bolton.
- Tony Soprano: Oh, so Steve's walking around trying doorknobs until he hits the jackpot.
- Meadow Soprano: No, Hunter goes and tells him.
- Carmela Soprano: [Referring to Meadow constantly shifting blame to her friend Hunter] Oh, now with the "Hunter".
- Tony Soprano: She's over at her house blaming it all on Meadow, it's an old game.
- Meadow Soprano: We're under a lot of pressure, you try studying day and night to get into college. We deserved a night.
- Tony Soprano: [Noticing she's becoming emotional] OK, take it easy, take it easy.
- Carmela Soprano: I'm sorry you're under a lot of pressure but it's still no excuse.
- Tony Soprano: So, who was this "ecstasy" guy?
- Meadow Soprano: I just told you, Adam, I don't even know him. He just showed up with Steve.
- Carmela Soprano: Is this the same Steve I know? The school newspaper kid you're always with?
- Meadow Soprano: He's a "flake", why do you think I stopped hanging out with him?
- Carmela Soprano: That's news to me you stopped hanging out with Steve.
- Meadow Soprano: It's painful to talk about, OK?
- Tony Soprano: Well, you're going to get punished.
- Meadow Soprano: Look, you guys, I know what I did was not OK and I've been thinking about it a lot and really not feeling good about myself. I think you should take away my Discover card.
- Carmela Soprano: You better believe it.
- Tony Soprano: That's right.
- Meadow Soprano: For two weeks.
- Tony Soprano: Three.
- Meadow Soprano: How do I buy gas?
- Tony Soprano: Your allowance.
- Meadow Soprano: I spent my allowance and I already owe mom.
- Carmela Soprano: [after Tony looks at her implying he wants to know what Meadow owes money for] The Pashmina.
- Carmela Soprano: [to Meadow] We can wait on that.
- Carmela Soprano: [Referring to Meadow's punishment, while lying in bed] There has to be consequences. What kind of parents would we be if we let her get away with this?
- Tony Soprano: Typical?
- Carmela Soprano: Plenty of parents still "crack the whip"
- Tony Soprano: Yeah, that's what they tell you
- Carmela Soprano: I cannot wait until she goes off the college
- Tony Soprano: Then you can be fucked up with the "empty nest" syndrome and go on Wellbutrin like your sister?
- Carmela Soprano: As a parent today, you are "over a barrel" no matter what you do: you take away the car, you become her chauffeur. You ground her, you gotta stay home weekends and be prison guards
- Tony Soprano: And if you throw her out, the Social Services will bring her back, and we'd be in front of the judge: she's not eighteen yet
- Carmela Soprano: That's your solution? To throw your daughter out?
- Tony Soprano: All I'm saying is with the laws today, you can't even restrain your kid physically because she can sue you for child abuse
- Carmela Soprano: There has to be consequences
- Tony Soprano: And there will be, I hear you ok? Let's not "overplay" our "hand" because if she finds out we're powerless, we're fucked
- Carmela Soprano: [referring to their fight when Janice criticized Tony and Carmela on how they punish their children] I just wanted to apologize, you know? About earlier
- Janice Soprano: No, I should be apologizing to you, I was out of line. Your right, I never raised a child. I was robbed of that when his father took him back to Montréal. I'm still petitioning the state department but I think they have me on their "enemies' radicals" list
- Carmela Soprano: When was the last time you saw Harpo?
- Janice Soprano: He changed his name to "Hal", I'm sorry, could we not talk about this? Look, I just wanted you to know I was way out of line
- Carmela Soprano: Well, I'm sorry too, really, I feel terrible and your family: family means a lot. I just don't feel right about you leaving here
- Janice Soprano: I don't know... I don't think Tony wants me here
- Carmela Soprano: [referring to Meadow throwing a party in Livia's home and the house ended up damaged and littered] Well, where are you gonna go? The house is in no condition to move into, especially now
- Janice Soprano: I'll be alright
- Carmela Soprano: I'm sorry, I can't let you leave, really, I want you to stay
- Janice Soprano: [Before hugging each other] ok
