Nobody knows anything.
 
-Carmela: You know,your son loves you very much.He worries all the time.
He felt bad that you didn't come to the open house. I don't care if you think it's disrespectful...but I want you to cut the drama. It's killing Tony.

-Livia: What are you talking about?

-Carmela: I'm talking about this"Poor mother, nobody loves me" crap. It is textbook manipulation...and I hate seeing Tony so upset over it.

-Livia: I know how to talk to people.

-Carmela: Well, I am a mother too, don't forget. You know your power, and you use it like a pro.

-Livia: Power, what power? I don't have power. I'm a shut-in!

-Carmela: You are bigger than life! You are his mother!
