MULLY Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 One of my most favorite lines out of the Soprano's..... "I'll tell ya Sil, these new flat screens? No glare, high definition; I was watchin' 'On the Waterfront' down Sears, Karl Malden's nose hairs looked like fuckin' BX cables." Yes, I Googled it to get it right.
