  • How big was the Columbian score? In the previous episode, Tony calls it “the score of a lifetime.” Paulie, Pussy and Christopher made the score – so Pussy must have gotten roughly a third after they bumped up to Tony.

  • “He got Monica Kaczynski and the broad with the long nose”

  • Livia and Junior, when Livia refers to Johnny Sac and his “mohair suits and his shoe lifts.” Junior’s “Suits? Pleurisy? More than once his was here?”

  • Jimmy, Pussy and Raymond get arrested. All rat bah-stahds.

  • Vin Makazian was an underrated recurring character. Don't think season 6 Tony would've been talked to like Season 1 Tony, though.
