• Joe - the American MP (episode II: Napoli) : Paisan, come on, the train. We have to get ready to go home. It's gonna take me home for *another* celebration. They just celebrate for me everyday. Every day. Going home-Going home-Going home-Going home-Going home-Going home-Going home-Going home-Going home-Going home-Going home-Going home-Going home! Going home? I don't wanna go home. My home is an old shack with tin cans for doors. I don't need that key. I don't wanna play no more, Paisan. I don't wanna go home. I don't wanna go home. I don't wanna go home.

• Joe - the American MP (episode II: Napoli) : Look at the skies! Look at the skies. Not a cloud in sight. And a million stars! If I had two ropes, I could swing here forever. I love this, Paisan.

  Pasquale (episode II: Napoli) : What are you saying?

  Joe - the American MP (episode II: Napoli) : I love this, Paisan. MmmmMmmmm. There's New York! New York! New York! There's Central Park over there! There! There's a million skyscrapers with a thousand lights - to welcome me home. I'm a hero! I'm a hero, Paisan. And I'll take you up Wall Street. Up Wall Street! Where there's ticker tape for me! A celebration for me. Yeah, for me! For me! And you! And that's City Hall over there. I'll introduce you to the mayor. "Hi, Mr. Mayor!" He says everything is prepared for me. Now, we'll go up Broadway. Broadway's the biggest street in the world and its my street. I own Broadway. To the Waldorf Astoria. When we go into the Waldorf Astoria, we have to be careful. Only the elites. Now we're in the Waldorf and look at that big, thick cushions and the gold furniture. A thousand servants. All for me to serve me; because, I'm a hero. I'm a hero. Now, we gonna eat. Look at that food. Look at that food! Caviar. There's chicken. There's turkeys. Wine! Whiskey! Beer! Champagne! And everything for me! Eat as much as you want, Paisan.

• Joe - the American MP (episode II: Napoli) : Yeah, America's rich and kind. But, not me! And it's your fault.
