Christopher Moltisanti (CM): (leaning against the elevator wall) Adriana, this is all your fault. You just had to drag me into this mess.
Adriana La Cerva (ALC): (rolls her eyes) Oh, please. Like I planned for the elevator to break down? It's not like I'm a mechanical genius, Chris.
CM: (crossing his arms) You're always getting us into trouble. Remember that time you accidentally spilled wine on Tony's favorite rug? Or when you misplaced Paulie's lucky rabbit's foot?
ALC: (snorts) Yeah, because those were life-altering events. And don't get me started on your temper. You're like a ticking time bomb, Chris. One minute you're sweet, and the next, you're smashing someone's face into a car windshield.
CM: (leaning in) At least I don't blabber to the feds like a canary. You think I don't know about your little secret meetings with the FBI?
ALC: (nervously) Chris, I—
CM: (interrupting) Save it. I've seen the signs—the late-night phone calls, the hushed conversations. You're singing like a soprano, Adriana.
ALC: (defensive) I did it to protect us! To keep you safe!
CM: (mockingly) Oh, how noble. But you know what? Maybe I should've taken that offer from Tony to whack you. Would've saved me a lot of headaches.
ALC: (teary-eyed) You wouldn't. Chris, we're supposed to be a team. Partners. You promised you'd always have my back.
CM: (softening) Yeah, well, promises don't mean much in this life. You think I don't see the way Tony looks at you? The way he pats your shoulder, like you're some prized pet?
ALC: (whispering) Chris, I love you. And I'd do anything to protect you.
CM: (leans closer) Love? Is that what this is? Or is it just survival? You're a liability, Adriana. A loose end. And I'm tired of cleaning up your messes.
ALC: (angry) You're no saint, Christopher. You're just as messed up as the rest of us. Maybe more.
CM: (voice rising) You think I don't know that? But I'm loyal. To Tony, to this family. And loyalty means sacrifice.
ALC: (defiant) Sacrifice? Is that what you call it? Maybe I should've sacrificed you when I had the chance.
CM: (leaning in, dangerously close) Try it, Adriana. See how that works out for you.
