- Dr. Uri Rosen: [Giving him his prognosis] I wish I had better news, based on the latest pictures the cancer has continued to metastasize from the lungs we. We now show masses in the Mediastinal lymph nodes both kidneys, and the brain
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: The headaches, so the lobotomy, radiation, the God damn chemo. What was all that? For kicks?
- Dr. Uri Rosen: Those were our options at the time
- Johnny 'Sack' Sacramoni: Now what are our options?
- Dr. Uri Rosen: Limited to the extent that I wouldn't recommend any. At this point we're looking at stage four small cell carcinoma of the lungs

- U.S. Marshal Lunt: Even still, it was the right move
- Warren Feldman: [shows him the book] there's my pal, how you doing? "Billy Bathgate", they had it in the library, it made me think of you. I don't know if you've heard but Gerry Torciano, he was "hit" last week in Brooklyn?
- John 'Johnny Sack' Sacramoni: who?

- John 'Johnny Sack' Sacramoni: I'm dying, aren't I?
- Warren Feldman: [after looking at his medical charts and sighs, referring to his oncologist's diagnosis] it's not good, I won't lie to you, it's aggressiveness surprises me... I gotta concur with Rosen
- John 'Johnny Sack' Sacramoni: I appreciate everything you've done
- Warren Feldman: [referring to the prison hospital] Why are you here "exactly"?
- John 'Johnny Sack' Sacramoni: [referring to his involvement in organized crime] I've been accused of being part of a "certain" Italian-American sub-culture
- Warren Feldman: [amused, referring to his health] I know who you are, I meant what's wrong with you?
- John 'Johnny Sack' Sacramoni: [referring to the location of cancer his been diagnosed with] Oh, lungs
- Warren Feldman: [referring to Kurtis' crime television show] I've been wanting to meet you actually, I saw you on Bill Kurtis

- John 'Johnny Sack' Sacramoni: [referring to his life expectancy] Three months
- Warren Feldman: [surprised] With the treatment you've had?
- John 'Johnny Sack' Sacramoni: What'd you mean?
- Warren Feldman: [listing the treatment, he read in John's chart] You've got a window of one to three years. Two rounds of Paraplatin, Docetaxel, and Pletal concurrent with radiation, any cancer inside you slows to a crawl
- John 'Johnny Sack' Sacramoni: Why is he so fuckin negative?
- Warren Feldman: [before leaving] We tell a patient three months, he lives a year. Who looks like a hero? I'll see you around, you take it easy

- Anthony Infante: she went with Allegra to buy some stuff for the kitchen
- John 'Johnny Sack' Sacramoni: that's good, clear her mind. The reason I asked you here today, she's a bright kid, your sister but with business?
- John 'Johnny Sack' Sacramoni: [after Anthony chuckles] my life insurance, I want to put her on a monthly statement
- Anthony Infante: probably a good idea?
- John 'Johnny Sack' Sacramoni: not all doctors agree but if I only have a few months, I wanna take care of all this now

- Anthony Infante: wonderful husband, a loving father
- John 'Johnny Sack' Sacramoni: on the street, though?
- Anthony Infante: from what I know you were well liked: respected across the board, despite the allocation hearing. God knows guys have named names for a hell of a lot less than what you were looking at
- Anthony Infante: [before he stops him from speaking further] only the negative...
- John 'Johnny Sack' Sacramoni: what?
- Anthony Infante: when Carmine died and you took over, people felt you changed, you became a little "trigger happy", maybe? A hothead?
- John 'Johnny Sack' Sacramoni: God forbid any of them find themselves in that position, it's a "thank-less" job
