The Many Saints of Newark - Police Raid Leads to Husband's Arrest
Livia Soprano:
My God! What did they do?
Police Officer:
We raided a card game, but we got lucky. Picked up your husband on an outstanding warrant. Had to take ’em somewhere.
Livia Soprano:
Warrant? For what?
Police Officer:
Assault with a deadly weapon.
Livia Soprano:
The Lobster Trap Restaurant? That wasn’t him. He didn’t do that. Where is he?
Police Officer:
Downtown.
Livia Soprano: [turns to a sobbing young Janice]
He’s downtown, where he might get burned to death?! What are you people thinking?! Janice, shut up with that! What were the two of you doing at that card game?
Young Tony Soprano:
Dad took Janice to ride the rides while he played cards. But he wouldn’t take me because I passed gas while he was eating lunch.
Livia Soprano: [Janice runs upstairs into the house and Tony runs away]
Get inside, both of you! Anthony!

Orphan - Phone Call from the Saarne Institute
Kate:
Hello?
Dr. Varava: [small pause]
Is this Kate Coleman? Hello?
Kate:
Yeah, this is she.
Dr. Varava:
My name is Dr. Varava. I'm calling from the Saarne Institute. I've just seen the picture you e-mailed.
Kate:
And do you recognize her?
Dr. Varava:
Where is she right now? Is she someplace where she can hear you?
Kate:
No, she's not with me. She's with my husband at home---
Dr. Varava:
Call your husband right now, and tell him to get your family out of the house. Then call the police.
Kate:
He won't listen to me. Why?
Dr. Varava:
Then tell him the little girl in the picture, is not really a little girl. She is a grown woman.
Kate:
What? What are you talking about? The picture I sent you is of our adopted daughter, and she's 9 years old.
Dr. Varava: [checks on the records]
No, she's not. She has a rare hormone disorder. It's called hypopituitarism, it causes proportional dwarfism. She only looks like a child. According to our records, Leena Klammer was born in 1976. She's 33 years old.
Kate:
This can't be. This is a mistake.
Dr. Varava:
I hope so, for your sake. Does she have the scars?
Kate Coleman:
What? I don't know. What scars?
Dr. Varava:
Leena was one of our most violent patients. When she was here, she was kept in a straitjacket to stop her from hurting our staff. She was constantly fighting to get out. It cut into her skin and left her with scars around her wrists and neck. There is no way you could not have seen them.
Kate:
Why was she at your hospital?
Dr. Varava:
She's dangerously ill, violent. She killed seven people that we know of.
Kate:
Oh, my God. How could she fool us?
Dr. Varava:
She has been passing herself off as a little girl for most of her life. She tricked a family here in Estonia into adopting her. When she couldn't seduce the father, she killed him and his whole family.
Kate:
Then she burned the house down?
Dr. Varava:
Yes. How did you know? She disappeared a year ago, and we lost track of her. If it's really Leena, you don't have much time.

Orphan - Discussing Behavioral Issues in Parenting
Kate:
We've had some behavioral problems, but...
John:
Yeah, nothing like that. I mean, right?
Kate:
Yes, we have.
John:
Really, hon, think about it.
Sister Abigail:
I've tried to reach the Russian orphanage where she was raised. I think we need to know what we're dealing with.
John:
Oh-uh, I'll tell you what we're dealing with. We're dealing with...
Kate:
N-no, you know what?
John: [turns to Kate.; turns back to Sister Abigail.]
Stop. Listen. We're dealing with a 9-year-old girl who's an orphan,---
Kate:
Y-yeah, that's it...
John: [to Sister Abigail]
...okay?
Kate:
We're taking her to Dr. Browning.
John:
We can take her to Dr. Browning.

Orphan - Concerns About Esther's Behavior Arise
Sister Abigail:
I'm afraid I may have made a mistake. There could be something wrong with Esther.
John:
What? What do you mean? You told us that you'd never had any trouble with her.
Sister Abigail:
I didn't. But trouble does have a way of finding her.
Kate:
What kind of trouble?
Sister Abigail:
Two girls get into a fight, there she is. Someone gets caught stealing, there she is again.
John:
So, does that mean-?
Kate: [to John]
John, just let her finish.
Sister Abigail:
After you told me about the girl in the playground, I called her old school. While she was there, there was a boy who fell with a pair of scissors in his hand and accidentally stabbed himself through the jaw. And Esther was there again.
John:
I don't understand. He accidentally stabbed himself.
Sister Abigail:
But the most troubling thing is the Sullivan house fire. I checked into it further, it was arson. They have never found the person who did it.
John:
What are you suggesting here? That she had anything to do with any of this? It's ridiculous.
Sister Abigail:
That a child could commit such crimes. It just flies in the face of everything I believe.
John:
Oh... well, yeah.

Orphan - Trust and Jealousy in a Long Relationship
John:
Kate... Kate. You can't get jealous of every woman that I talk to, right? It's been like ten years.
Kate:
What does that mean, "It's been ten years"? You say that like it, it, it actually means something. It's only been two years since you told me.
John:
You know how sorry I am; I just feel like I've earned a little trust here. I gave you a second chance.
Kate:
That's not fair... that's not fair.
John:
Let me get this straight: We can talk about my mistakes, but not yours?
Kate:
I was sick! You're an asshole who wanted to fuck somebody else!

Up in the Air - Unspoken Expectations in Relationships
Alex: [Over the phone]
What were you thinking showing up at my door like that?
Ryan:
I wanted to see you. I didn't know you had a family why wouldn't you tell me that?
Alex Goran:
I'm sorry I ruined your evening but you could've seriously screwed things up for me. That's my family that's my real life.
Ryan:
I thought I was a part of your life.
Alex:
I thought we signed up for the same thing.
Ryan:
Tell me what exactly you signed up for.
Alex:
I thought our relationship was perfectly clear. You are an escape. You're a break from our normal lives. You're a parenthesis.
Ryan:
I'm a parenthesis?
Alex: [pause]
What do you want? Tell me what you want. You don't even know what you want. I'm a grown up, so if you'd like to see me again then give me a call.

What do you expect coming in here?
Billy Costigan:
I have to come here.
Madolyn:
I know you have to come here, but now that you're here, what do you want?
Billy Costigan:
You want the truth? Valium.
Madolyn:
You know if you lied, you would have an easier time getting what you wanted.
Billy Costigan:
What does that say about what you do for a living?
Madolyn:
I just think we should have a few more meetings before we even talk about prescriptions.
Billy Costigan:
Look...look, I'm having panic attacks, alright? The other night I thought I was having a fucking heart attack. I puked in a trash barrel on the way over here. I haven't slept for fucking weeks.
Madolyn:
Is that true?
Billy Costigan:
Yeah, that's true. Alright? I said it was fucking true. I want some fucking pills and you're gonna what? You're gonna close my file? Is that what you're going to do?
Madolyn:
No, I didn't close your file. I--
Billy Costigan:
I thought I was supposed to tell the truth here, if only fucking here!
Madolyn:
You are! You are!
Billy Costigan:
Christ. I mean, a guy comes in here against every, every instinct of privacy and self-reliance he has and what do you do? What do you do, huh? You send him off on the street to score smack, is that what you do? You're fucking ridiculous!
Billy Costigan: [picking up the pills]
Two pills? Great. Why don't you just give me a bottle of scotch and a handgun to blow my fucking head off! Are we done here with this psychiatry bullshit?
Madolyn:
You know what? You can leave!
Billy Costigan:
What the fuck did I just put myself through? I'm fucking out of here. And what if that was a legitimate threat? Think about it, fucking hotshot!
