Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In "The Weight," Tony was wondering aloud who in his crew was leaking information to New York underboss Johnny Sac. Christopher offered up the idea it was the Feds, in order to "create a little ______ in the ranks." He probably didn't mean to refer to a tropical disease. What word did he use?

Answer: dysentery

Christopher probably meant to use some variation of "dissension" which means "disharmony." Instead he used "dysentery," an inflammation of the colon.
2. Little Carmine Lupertazzi was the king of malapropisms. When talking to Tony about being at an important juncture, he said, "You're at a ______ of an enormous crosswords." Fill in the blank.

Answer: precipice

"You're at a precipice of an enormous crosswords" is one of the many nonsensical things Little Carmine spewed. Tony certainly regretted bringing Little Carmine into the conflict over construction projects he was having with Little Carmine's father, NY crime boss Carmine Lupertazzi.
3. Here's a gem from Carmine Lupertazzi. "There's no ______ connected with going to a shrink." What word did he misuse in this sentence?

Answer: stigmata

By saying there's "no stigmata" about going to a therapist, CL probably meant to say "stigma," or disgrace. Stigmata is a disfigurement on the body believed to be the same as Jesus's wounds in the Christian faith.
4. "Revenge is like serving _______," Tony Soprano told Dr. Melfi in one session. What fills in the blank?

Answer: cold cuts

When Tony said, "You know what they say: Revenge is like serving cold cuts," Dr. Melfi politely corrected him: "I think it's 'Revenge is a dish best served cold." Variations of this saying are found in many cultures, including French writings in the 1700s and the 1972 movie "The Godfather".
5. After Vito Spatafore was whacked, his son started acting up, and his mother approached Tony for help. When she explained Vito Jr.'s behavior, Tony replied that it was to be expected, "What with the passing of Vito Senior and all that ________." Fill in the blank. Yuck.

Answer: entrails

Using "entrails" for "entails" was especially gruesome here. It was mentioned that Vito had internal organ damage from his attack.
6. Gentle giant (for a criminal) Bobby Baccalieri was a helpful man to have around but was not the most eloquent or intelligent. In regard to 9/11, Bobby said to Tony, "You know, _______ predicted all of this." Who did he say? He probably didn't mean the hunchback.

Answer: Quasimodo

Bobby was referring to Nostradamus, the 16th-century author of "The Prophecies". Tony pointed out, with more than a little scorn, that Quasimodo was the Hunchback of Notre Dame, which was a story by author Victor Hugo.
7. In "Eloise", Little Carmine joined a sit-down to discuss proceeds from the Esplanade construction project. "On reflection, John, maybe that's the ______. Tony feels like you're friends and not business associates." Fill in the blank.

Answer: sticking post

By "sticking post" he must have meant "sticking point." What was supposed to be a sit-down to settle the argument over the Esplanade project did not end well.
8. Tony was not inexplicably grief-stricken when Christopher died. With Dr. Melfi, he compared his lack of emotions about Christopher's death with the loss of other good friends and relatives. "I was _____ with grief," he said. Fill in the blank.

Answer: prostate

You can't blame him too much; "prostate" and "prostrate" sound very similar. "Prostrate" means lying face down on the ground or floor, while "prostate" is, of course, a gland found in males.
9. In the fan favorite "Pine Barrens" episode, Tony was talking to Paulie over a bad cell connection. Paulie relayed to Christopher what Tony told him about their victim: "He was an _________." What was he?

Answer: interior decorator

Tony had actually informed Paul that their kidnap victim, Valery, had been a soldier with the Ministry of the Interior. Valery was a fierce opponent, a native Russian perfectly comfortable in the snowy tundra of Pine Barrens.
10. Let's end on another pontification from Little Carmine. In the final season, Christopher realized his dream of producing a film, with Little Carmine as the major investor. After a showing, Carmine's daughter complimented the metaphor of seeing a "creepy figure in the crucifix." Little Carmine replied: "Glad you caught that, Alexandra. Very observant. The sacred and the ______." Fill in the blank.

Answer: propane

"The sacred and the profane" is probably what he meant but he said, "The sacred and the propane." Profane means "that which is not sacred" whereas propane is a liquid gas often used in BBQs and portable stoves.
