Phil: Historically, Carmine always said the Sopranos are nothing more than a glorified crew. Plain and simple—we decapitate and we do business with whatever's left. (edit) Sil: Burt let me know the other night, he's been playin' both sides of the fence with New York.
Tony: Burt?
Sil: Measures were taken. (edit) Tony: Missin' sessions, unfortunately, is part of my condition.
Dr. Melfi: What do you know about your condition? You miss appointments because you don't give a shit. (edit) Phil: Anthony Soprano has no respect for this thing. He's never been in the can, not really. He's a guy who stepped over his own uncle to grab the big seat—his father's brother.
Albie: Please, huh?
Phil: I'm embarrassed. I let him come to the hospital last Christmas, and I took his fat, fuckin' hand in friendship. (edit) Phil: (speaking about the Jersey crew) Listen to me. They make anybody and everybody over there. And the way that they do it is all fucked up. Guys don't get their finger pricked. There's no sword and gun on the table.
Albie: Phil...
Phil: No, Alb- either it has meaning, or no meaning! (edit)

This episode does not have any trivia. Add some now!

At the psychiatrists' dinner party, when Dr. Kupferberg says the answer to the mystery person that Jennifer treats is "a female opera singer and gangster" he then scats the first few notes to the Final Jeopardy! anthem from Jeopardy! (edit) Dr. Elliot Kupferberg refers to Tony as "Leadbelly," a reference to Huddie William Ledbetter a blues musician known as "Leadbelly" who spent time in prison. (edit) The Italian Opera, Cavalleria Rusticana by Pietro Mascagni, was used in the soundtrack for the finale in Godfather III where NY boss Michael Corleone's enemies get murdered. The same music was used in this episode as the wheels of NY boss Phil Leotardo's murder spree are put into motion.
It's also used during the scene at Nuovo Vesuvio where Tony, Silvio and Bobby are having lunch. The opera was used heavily in Martin Scorsese's 1980 boxing film Raging Bull. Tony and Silvio, upon hearing the music, start boxing in slow-motion, re-enacting the famous fight scenes from the film. (edit) Tony, referring to his planned rejection of Bobby for siding with Junior, says it's "Exile on Main Street" for him, the title of a 1972 album by The Rolling Stones. (edit)
