- Quotes
Tony Soprano: This is gonna sound stupid, but I saw at one point that our mothers are... bus drivers. No, they are the bus. See, they're the vehicle that gets us here. They drop us off and go on their way. They continue on their journey. And the problem is that we keep tryin' to get back on the bus, instead of just lettin' it go.

Get a mop
A. J. slips deeper into depression, whilst relations between the NY and NJ families deteriorate.
This is a brutal and memorable episode with iconic character moments.
A. J. Has a lot of screen time and the Soprano family's nihilistic traits are used brilliantly to develop the character. The shadow of Livia hangs heavily over so many scenes involving A. J. and Tony.
The use of the Yeats poem underscores the disconnection between characters and the sense of impending doom felt throughout the episode (and The Sopranos generally). Anybody with an awareness of the greedy, hateful, and self-serving nature of humanity should appreciate it. It might have been written in 1919, but it's just as relevant in 2023.
As ever the filmmakers mix disturbing moments, black comedy and poignancy very well. Visually there are a number of impactful scenes that linger in the memory after the credits role.
All actors are in great form with James Gandolfini, Robert Illier, Edie Falco and Jamie Lynn Sigler all standing out.
