- Quotes
Rosalie Aprile: It's not just us. The president of the Unites States for crying out loud, look what his wife had to put up with, with the the blowjobs and the stained dress.
Angie Bompensiero: Hillary Clinton? I can't stand that woman.
Rosalie Aprile: I don't know. Maybe we could all take a page from her book.
Carmela Soprano: What, to be humiliated in public and then walk around smiling all the time? That is so false. I would dig a hole, I would climb into it, and I would not come out.
Rosalie Aprile: All I know is, she stuck by him and put up with the bullshit and in the end, what did she do? She set up her own little thing.
Gabriella Dante: She did. She took all that negative shit he gave her and spun it into gold. You gotta give her credit.
Carmela Soprano: Well, that's true, isn't it?
Carmela Soprano: She's a role model for all of us.

This is an exceptionally compelling episode with character defining moments.
The comparable scenes involving Jackie and Gloria take a lot of screen time and in equally brilliant ways show the self-destructive nature of both characters. This involves high quality drama with phenomenally good performances from James Gandolfini and Annabella Sciorra in particular.
Carmela has some great scenes that continue themes from previous episodes like 'College' and 'Second Opinion'. Edie Falco is excellent as always and the writing and use of visual symbolism is extremely strong.
Lots of the typical existential moments and 'regularness of life' aspects of The Sopranos are present in various scenes. One of the most impactful is how Patsy deals with one situation and on the way back from the job stops for his shopping.
It consistently shows great visual storytelling, with strong editing and use of music.
