Tony is definitely my favorite character. He's a walking contradiction (much like myself ): tough guy that can cry like a baby; street smart but as dumb as a box of rocks otherwise; and unwavering in his business decisions, yet putty in the hands of women!

Favorite line? Jeez! There are a lot. The phone thing with Uncle Junior that WiseGuy mentioned above; Paulie always repeating his lame jokes (and, of course, his "shoelaces" hygiene speech!); when Tony repeats the "Virginia ham" illustration he heard from Uncle Junior to Richie (who looks at Tony like he has 2 heads!); and when Tony later tells Richie, "And don't gimme those 'Manson lamps'!"
