- Meadow Soprano: Eugene Pontecorvo? His so sweet
- Finn DeTrolio: Sweet? He was like an animal
- Meadow Soprano: Are you going to eat?
- Finn DeTrolio: I'm not hungry, it's too hot anyway
- Meadow Soprano: I told you I was making dinner tonight
- Finn DeTrolio: [after eating a bite] It's really good Chili. You should've seen these guys. They were laughing, it was fuckin sick. I mean is this what you grew up with?
- Meadow Soprano: What're you talking about?
- Finn DeTrolio: These people. Your dad's friends
- Meadow Soprano: I never saw one bit of violence growing up
- Finn DeTrolio: What about your dad's road rage? And didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend shot to death or something?
- Meadow Soprano: First of all, he was killed by drug dealers. African Americans if it makes you feel any better. You know, you talk about these guys like it's an anthropology class, the truth is they bring certain modes of conflict resolution all the way back from the old country from the poverty of the Mezzogiorno, where all higher authority was corrupt.
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: So, Finn, you got any plans for the summer? Going back to Mission Viejo to surf or whatever?

- Finn DeTrolio: I did summer school once: you can still have fun
- Meadow Soprano: [to Finn] At casa de Carmela, his looking at a maximum security summer
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [to Meadow, after Finn leaves for the restroom] Why don't you cut your mother a break? For the record, she's the one holding this family through this current situation and all
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [to the waiter] Can we get the check, please?
- Waiter: [referring to Finn] The young man took care of it
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [to Finn when he returns] You paid the check?
- Finn DeTrolio: I figured since your always so generous, I thought I'd reciprocate
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: You're lucky you don't get your head handed to you
- Meadow Soprano: Dad...
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: Let's get something straight: you eat, I pay
- Finn DeTrolio: Mr. Soprano...
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: No, when you have your own family, you pay
- Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr.: [to AJ After putting money on the table] Let's go

- Meadow Soprano: It's in Jersey though, so you'll have to take the path train in
- Finn DeTrolio: Fine, no problem but mostly I ever did was like help my dad paint
- Meadow Soprano: He said you don't need experience: you'll be a laborer or something. It pays like twenty bucks an hour
- Finn DeTrolio: Holy shit... how is that even possible?
- Finn DeTrolio: [referring to loaning him money] I just talked to my parents, they offered me a Jet Blue ticket home, no "economic relief"
- Meadow Soprano: what'd the lady at Student Placement say?
- Finn DeTrolio: I never went down there
- Meadow Soprano: why didn't you?

- Finn DeTrolio: [after Meadow starts banging on the air conditioner] it doesn't cool anything: leave it
- Meadow Soprano: don't open the window, the garbage wreaks
- Finn DeTrolio: why did we want to live in New York City anyway?
- Meadow Soprano: it's supposed to be "fun" remember? The summer before the big "push" before grad school?
- Finn DeTrolio: [referring to her parent's home] we could go out to Jersey, sleep in comfort
- Meadow Soprano: is that what you want?
- Finn DeTrolio: no, all I know is I cannot go home and live with my parents... I graduated. Maybe I should go back out there? I could work as a PA for Josh's dad. At least I'd earn some cash, you can come out for a week?
- Meadow Soprano: whoa, wait, what?
- Finn DeTrolio: He's a photographer I told you, he does major magazine ads, BMW, it's pretty cool stuff
- Meadow Soprano: is that what you want?
- Finn DeTrolio: no, but at least I'd have money
- Meadow Soprano: your "thing" with models
- Finn DeTrolio: there's no models

- Meadow Soprano: what are you talking about? Just "blow off" dental school? You haven't taken one photograph in a year: you bitch every time we're at a party and I ask you to take a snap of me and my friends
- Finn DeTrolio: I'm just saying...
- Meadow Soprano: look, I gave up junior year abroad so we could be together
- Finn DeTrolio: I know and I want to stay here
- Meadow Soprano: I could come out west with you but I'd have to "blow off" the Law Center

- Meadow Soprano: I don't know, do you want me to come out?
- Finn DeTrolio: if you want to
- Meadow Soprano: no, you need to say
- Finn DeTrolio: maybe we should stay out there? You can transfer out to UCLA

- Meadow Soprano: I don't know, you say
- Finn DeTrolio: no, you
- Carmela Soprano: [while shopping clothing store, after seeing the shirt Meadow shows her, then checks the price tag, referring to small size and design] cute, a lot of money for "not much" shirt
- Meadow Soprano: relax, I'll put it on my own card
- Carmela Soprano: [adamantly] damn right, you will

- Meadow Soprano: life: I don't know
- Carmela Soprano: what can I do?
- Meadow Soprano: haven't you ever thought beyond being dependent on some man?
- Carmela Soprano: [irritated] it's so simple for you, is it?
- Meadow Soprano: it's simple for everybody who isn't expecting things to be "handed" to them: even Finn got a job working construction
- Carmela Soprano: good for Finn then
- Meadow Soprano: there are options in life, isn't that what you always told me?
- Carmela Soprano: You have options, I have a lawyer
- Meadow Soprano: [referring to the baseball game Vito intimidated Finn into attending] So, your just not gonna show up? You love baseball, what is wrong with you?
- Finn DeTrolio: I don't like the guy, alright?
- Meadow Soprano: [sarcastically] Right, I get it, Dr. DeTrolio can't hang with the common folk
- Finn DeTrolio: He came onto me, alright? Either that or he wants to kill me?
- Meadow Soprano: [surprised] What?
- Finn DeTrolio: [referring to oral sex] I saw him blowing some security guard in the parking lot
- Meadow Soprano: [confused] When, what are you talking about?
- Finn DeTrolio: [referring to the construction site his working at] This morning I showed up early, I didn't want to say anything but I'm really afraid of this guy
- Meadow Soprano: Vito Spatafore is a married man, I seriously doubt he wants to kill you
- Finn DeTrolio: [nervously] Well, maybe he wants to fuck me then kill me?
- Meadow Soprano: [after seeing the suitcase on the floor] Wait a minute, is that why you got out the suitcase?
- Finn DeTrolio: [adamantly] I am not going back to the site
- Meadow Soprano: Do you have idea the strings my father pulled to get you that job? And you just fucking quit? I'm gonna hear so much bullshit
- Finn DeTrolio: So, it's all about you, right?
- Meadow Soprano: Is that all you can say whenever it has to do with my feelings?
- Meadow Soprano: [when he doesn't respond] So, you're going back to Mission Viejo?
- Finn DeTrolio: I didn't say that
- Meadow Soprano: [raises her voice] Why don't you just admit it? This whole thing, this fight, this stuff with Vito is really about you not wanting to commit

- Meadow Soprano: [becoming emotional] You got out a suitcase
- Finn DeTrolio: It's my process, ok? Look, you never can tell
- Meadow Soprano: your process?
- Meadow Soprano: So, it's not about us, suddenly you're talking about options
- Finn DeTrolio: Don't paraphrase what I said. I said at this point in our lives is a transition period forced on us by external events. School is over for me and next year for you. These are difficult choices, what? You'd rather not have choices? Thank God for choices
- Meadow Soprano: [raises her voice] Stop your bullshit. It's really simple: are we going stay together or not?
- Finn DeTrolio: If you want
- Meadow Soprano: That's not what I asked
- Finn DeTrolio: I said I did
- Meadow Soprano: And then you said how are we gonna keep it together through four years of dental school For you and probably med school for me?
- Finn DeTrolio: It's a good question
- Meadow Soprano: But why ask it now? Tonight, of all times
- Meadow Soprano: [when he doesn't respond after looking closer at him] Are you asleep?
- Finn DeTrolio: [startled] No
- Meadow Soprano: You were, now your gonna lie like you did about the suitcase
- Finn DeTrolio: I did not lie about the suitcase
- Meadow Soprano: Then what'd you call it?
