Construction Worker : [Tony and Silvio are looking for Vito after he's been outed as a homosexual. Tony calls Vito's cellphone. A construction worker picks the phone up off the side of the road] Hello?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [on phone] Vito?
Silvio Dante : You got him?
Construction Worker : [on phone] Who?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [on phone] Put Vito on the phone, asshole.
Construction Worker : [on phone] Fuck you, motherfucker.
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [on phone] What, are you sucking his dick?
Construction Worker : [on phone] Bet I'd kick your ass, you fucking faggot.
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [on phone, yelling] Yeah that's right, telephone tough guy! Put Vito on the phone!
Construction Worker : [on phone] There ain't no Vito, man. I found the phone on the side of the road!
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [on phone] What?
Construction Worker : [on phone] Hang on a second!
[the construction worker tosses Vito's phone under a steam roller]
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [on phone] Where'd you find the phone? Hello? Hello? Oh you motherfucker!
Silvio Dante : What happened?

Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : What? It's 2006, there's pillow biters in the special services.
Silvio Dante : [Referring to Vito] Let me ask you something: For the sake of argument let's say he shows up, are you going to kiss this guy on both cheeks?
[Tony remains silent]
Silvio Dante : Take Paulie for example. You know perfectly well guys like him don't kick up their full percent to you. You look the other way, it's the price of doing business. By you cutting him some slack now that he's "out of the closet", it'll be just the excuse for guys to go off the reservation and start holding back some serious money.

Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : [while entering the back office of the Bada Bing strip club] I'll tell you one thing: If it was me this kid was spreading rumors about, he'd have something up his own ass. And it wouldn't be no cock either.
Carlo Gervasi : That's the point though. This guy Sal, I know him. He's a friend of ours.
Christopher Moltisanti : I fuckin' called it, long time ago.
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [Referring to the Italian slang term for homosexuals] You knew Vito was "ricuin"?
Christopher Moltisanti : Yes.
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : When?
Christopher Moltisanti : I never said it, but I knew.
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Get the fuck out, huh? And enough of this "rush to judgment", for all we know this fuckin' Sal guy's got a hard on for Vito.
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [to Christopher after he starts laughing] Oh, you think this is funny? There's a man's reputation at stake here!
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : Married man, with kids.
Carlo Gervasi : That don't mean shit. Elton John was married.
Silvio Dante : Yeah. Rock Hudson too, I think.
Christopher Moltisanti : So, what'd we got to do? Actually see him take it in the ass?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : [to Patsy] Get Vito on the phone.
Silvio Dante : You know he called me the other night? Three o'clock in the morning after the wedding.
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : And?
Silvio Dante : Honestly, it was weird. He wanted to know what was going on.
Christopher Moltisanti : He was fuckin' fishing, see if we heard.
Patsy Parisi : [to Tony, after calling Vito's cell phone] Straight to voicemail.
Silvio Dante : Tone, I mean, he represents us.
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : I'm not going to condemn the man off the word from some fuckin' douche bag from Yonkers.
Patsy Parisi : I could care less basically.
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : Yeah? Maybe *you're* a "flambé"?
Carlo Gervasi : Fuckin nauseating. If it was up to me I'd drag Vito behind my fuckin' car right now.
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Oh, will you take it easy over there, fuckin' Judge Roy Bean?
Christopher Moltisanti : One of my bar girls knows his goomah. Check with her maybe, she's seen him or knows where he is. Lauren.
Carlo Gervasi : Think about it though, Tone. Sudden weight loss...
Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri : [Shocked] AIDS?
Anthony 'Tony' Soprano Sr. : Nobody's got AIDS! I don't want to hear that word in here again!

Silvio Dante : [referring to Vito, takes concert tickets from his pocket and puts it on the table] Well, he ain't gonna show, I'll just leave him these
Marie Spatafore : he said he'd be back from Vegas today, I don't know
Silvio Dante : [after seeing a picture of Vito and Marie in Halloween costumes] You and Vito, how's it going with you guys?
Marie Spatafore : We have our "ups" and "downs"
Silvio Dante : And in the romance "department"?
Marie Spatafore : [surprised by his question] Excuse me? What's this all about?
Silvio Dante : It's awkward
Marie Spatafore : No offense but I really don't want to talk about this: Vito's a good father and a loving husband
Silvio Dante : But his mind is elsewhere: he takes these unexplained powders
Marie Spatafore : His got a comàre, I know about that
Silvio Dante : [deciding not to tell her that Vito could be gay, kisses her on the cheek and leaves] It's nothing, forget about it. If you hear from him, you tell him, I brought him Blood, Sweat & Tears tickets, backstage passes too
