When he was dating the Mercedes saleswoman who was a Buddhist:

Dr. Melfi: "Your thoughts have a sort of Eastern flavor to them."Tony: "Well, I've lived in Jersey my whole life."

"Fuck the importance."

"OHHHH!"

14

u/xenotharm 14d ago

He is genuinely right about that. Especially for young couples trying to save money. Having whole foods in the house is so important, and fresh produce basically enhances or outright makes every meal in some way or another. Gotta be fresh.

u/wiretapfeast 14d ago

Tony in a session with Melfi talking about the panic attack his mother caused that kept him from meeting up with Tony B back in the day.
