Comrade Soprano: "I remember when i was a kid, there was this guy in my neighborhood. We used to call him Bernie Sanders. He wasn't communist, but we thought he was because he had one of these, uh, whatchamacallits... What do you call that?
Melfi: Empathy.
Comrade Soprano: Yeah. Well, we was kids, right? So what the hell do we know? Every time he opened his mouth, we'd piss ourselves laughin'. But didn't mind, because he got to hang out with us. Popular crew. Although we only called him when we were bored. Called him, said, "Hey, Bernie, sing 'The Internationale'. " And because he wanted to hang out with us, he'd belt it right out. We'd fuckin' roll on the floor laughing. And then, you know, when the laughs got old, we stopped callin' him. Wasn't till years later that i found out the poor prick was goin' home every night and cryin' himself to sleep. When i found out, you know, i-- i felt bad. But y'know, he was a social fascist, so whatcha gonna do. "
