[insects chirring] [Tony] The morning of the day
I got sick, I'd been thinking. [dramatic electronic music
playing] It's good to be in something
from the ground floor. I came too late for that.
I know. But lately I'm getting
the feeling that I came in at the end. The best is over. [Melfi] Many Americans,
I think, feel that way. [keyboard clacking] [Tony] I think about my father. He never reached
the heights like me. But in a lot of ways,
he had it better. He had his people. They had their standards.
They had pride. Today, what do we got? [David] When I wrote
the beginning of the pilot, what I was talking about
was America. I just had a sense that things
were really going downhill. Everything's for sale here
