Of course it has to be Sal's perfect intro in Season 1, Episode 1 "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes" -

"So we're supposed to believe that people are living one way and secretly thinking the exact opposite? That's ridiculous."

OMG This is hard to choose, but I am a big fan of this moment in the "The Gold Violin" (S2E7):

Jane: We could have stolen it, couldn’t we?
Sal: Who are you?

Another Sal quote from Season 1, Episode 1 "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes."

At Pete's bachelor party

"Can we live here???"

S3E1
On the plane with Don
"My my, what a big bottle you have."

"It’s like their better looking sister marries a handsome senator and she’s going to live in the White House. I’m practically jealous."

Season 1, Episode 9, Shoot.

"If a girl is gonna shake it in my face, I wanna be alone so I can do something"

and

"Should we drink before or after the meeting? Or both..."

-Sal Romano, Episode 101: Smoke Gets in Your Eyes

Season 1 Episode 8

"You know, and the salesman pushing this tie on me for twenty minutes. I'd of bought it right away if I knew it worked"

"I told you, you don't need money to dress better then you do Duane"

Season 2, Episode 9:

"Is he dead?"

(Freddy Rumsen passes out in his office.)

Season 3, Episode 4:"The Arrangements"

"HELLO, PATIO!" (cue simpering smile at the end)

"You mean a person can act one way and be thinking the exact opposite?! That's ridiculous." Season 1, episode 1

.....I don't want a prize, but I always got a big laugh from Sal's take ("awful") on the The Loretta Young Show.....

....."the aprons, the nauseating upholstery on the couch.....people just *dropping by*....."

Episode 2.11: The Jet Set

@Darn it Dry, I was just going through the episodes looking for that. I think that one's a winner, especially because the others in the room are so TOTALLY CLUELESS as to what that sort of talk implies! But hey, if you don't want the prize, feel free to pass it along to me. :)

...and where's her husband?" - Referring to JFK as he is watching Jackie do the White House tour on TV. Hee.

“It’s stagnant in here.”

Love the symbolism.

"It's hot, loud and filled with men." from Season 1, Episode 1, "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes" (at Pete's bachelor party)

"Balzac on the tip of their tongue"? Seriously, Lily?

That crossed my mind when I first read Lily's article, too, Bloody Mary....maybe we're "trying" to read something into that, but I don't think so.

Hmmmmmm

Wonder who won the Pete, Peggy and Roger (previous)"Favorite Quote" contests????

Hmmmmmm

Trying to sexy-up the cigarette aid with the picture that his shirtless (male) neighbor posed for in the pilot -
"A sexy girl? I can do that...... I love my work!"

I knew from that moment where Sal was going. Bryan Batt is so subtle, but spot on with Sal.

.....NeverNot.....Sorry about that! It struck me funny for the exact reason you implied, but I'd have to say that jay's quote is probably the most ironically "Salish" quote of them all.....

I don't want a prize because I have two already, and there are lots of people who haven't won something yet.

Since we are on the subject of de Balzac quotes, one that I like very much goes:

A flow of words is a sure sign of duplicity.

"I am Kirok!"

“It’s stagnant in here.” is from "Out of Town" season 3, episode 1.

If I were lying, wouldn't I have put it in round numbers? Season 3 Episode 5

SC fan, Salvatore didn't say "hot, loud, and filled with men." An anonymous woman did, and Sal said "I know what you mean."
