I want a girl with a short skirt and a loooooong jacket…

That's what he said—lift up your skirt and let them fuck you does not follow from "cock."

For the backne…

Sushi. That's what my ex-wife called me. Cold fish.

His beating Zellman was pretty bad, too.

I think she said that Tony wasn't really his uncle. They are cousins, pretty sure of it.

Christopher is related to Tony through the Blundetto line, I think, and to Carmela through the Moltisanti line. He's also an Atreides through Leto and a Harkonnen through Jessica, who is the Baron's daughter, possibly through Gaius Helen Mohiam.

Intercourse at the Bachman house consists of holding hands and watching an Evita/Cabaret double-feature.

Oh nooooooo!

Don't know if there are any proper nude scenes in the film; we get a flash of pale flesh in the forest scene, no nipples—maybe an asscrack.

The kids love that movie. You bet your ass I show it.

I use "Maple Street" in my sophomore high school English class as a thematic complement to The Crucible—we tend to stress the Puritan/Witch Hunt aspect; I try to bring in McCarthyism. 
Good Night and Good Luck just puts the kids to sleep.

By garbage man, I didn't really mean guy on a truck but rather a successful small businessman. Tony is a bit more than that…

I dunno—I think a well-connected lawyer would know that the mob is all up in waste management's business; it's a pretty open secret. Plus, meadow is too well-heeled (she's at Columbia nad not on scholarship) to be the daughter of a "garbageman." Also, remember the sub-text of how Tony's criminality hurts those closest…

Thanks. I appreciate that.

I think the unspoken thing was that Noah's father dictated that break up. He knew Meadow was a Mafia princess. No way he'd put up with that.

No fan of the character myself but Tony hated him only because he was black, not because he was a smug prick (and I agree: he was a smug little prick). And are you really not cognizant of the unfortunate connotations "uppity" has when used to describe black people?

Uppity? Nice…

The Game blows. Zodiac or Fight Club or GTFO.

Another candidate for Edie Falco's greatest line reading: "You're the grillmeister" from this episode. Note the catch in her voice.
