Tim Daly: J.T. Dolan

Quotes 

• Christopher Moltisanti : J.T., I want to introduce you to Carmine Lupertazzi: my co-executive producer on the project.

  Carmine Lupertazzi Jr. : [To J.T]  I heard the tidbits of what Chrissy's got in mind, the genre, and so forth. I've got to warn you, I'm very hands on and I learned that the hard way.

  Carmine Lupertazzi Jr. : [to everyone in the room]  I want to welcome all of you to the first meeting of possible investors on this project. Some of you know I've had nine pictures under my sub species: four in The South Beach Strumpet series alone, each with thirty thousand plus DVDs in print. That being said I usually find it helpful at this stage to include to my prospective partners and get your inputs, or "notes" as we call them.

  Christopher Moltisanti : J.T., you're on.

  J.T. Dolan : Well, we've been working on a new kind of slasher film, it takes in the world of... you know...

  Christopher Moltisanti : [Interrupts him]  It"s about a wise guy with a big mouth, and bigger dreams.

  J.T. Dolan : Anyway, they call him "The Butcher".

  Silvio Dante : No, they don't.

  Christopher Moltisanti : Why the fuck not?

  Silvio Dante : Need I remind you of a certain "Butcher" out of AC?

  Christopher Moltisanti : Right, not "butcher", go on J.T.

  J.T. Dolan : Right, so his kind of outshining his boss so the guy has him clipped, but he's still alive when they cut him up.

  Vito Spatafore : [Jokingly before everyone laughs]  Oh, he's going to feel that the next day.

  J.T. Dolan : Right, so at the dump his body reassembles itself all except for a hand that got crushed. So he ties a cleaver onto the stump and he goes out to get revenge on everyone especially the boss which is a pretty solid role. Right now its call "Pork Store Killer", but I'm thinking just "Cleaver".

  Larry Boy Barese : I'm confused, you said he's dead.

  Vito Spatafore : How is he "evening" up on everybody? He's a ghost?

  Carmine Lupertazzi Jr. : [Clarifying the main character in the movie to everyone]  as I understood it: a zombie of sorts. Great title by the way.

  Patsy Parisi : But if they jointed him, he's not going to end up all in the same dump.

  Silvio Dante : And how is that a slasher film?

  Christopher Moltisanti : What're you talking about?

  Silvio Dante : A slasher: Couple kids naked in the lake, a certified manic on the loose, not a ghost.

  J.T. Dolan : Actually the manic is almost always a supernatural force: Freddy, Jason, Michael Myers from Halloween...

  Silvio Dante : Get the fuck out...

  Carmine Lupertazzi Jr. : Easy Sil, he's making a point.

  Silvio Dante : Michael Myers is an escape mental patient. Jason and Freddy, different kind of movie.

  Christopher Moltisanti : That's the kind we're doing here. Saw, The Ring, they made millions, and that's not even including The Godfather angle which we got here.

  Benny Fazio : What if they disposed him at stops that happened to be along the same route? Then he would all end up all in the same dump.

  Vito Spatafore : But he's a ghost? I don't know.

  Christopher Moltisanti : Ghostbusters, another fuckin' money machine!

• Christopher Moltisanti : [after Benny and Murmur drag JT out of a writing class he was teaching and into their SUV, referring to the money JT owes Christopher]  don't give me that fuckin fish eye. I'm giving you a way to wipe away your obligation. It wasn't me that told you to start gambling again

  J.T. Dolan : I can't write a feature now. I just landed a staff job

  Christopher Moltisanti : People are seeing huge profits with these digital horror movies. Douche bags that never made a film before

  Benny Fazio : That Saw thing, four hundred grand to make: took in a hundred million worldwide

  J.T. Dolan : I'm a hundred percent well, I deliver this script, I owe you nothing?

  Christopher Moltisanti : [to Benny and Murmur, telling JT what details to include in the movie]  you hear this dude?"A hundred percent well ",his a bad boy huh? With that lingo, real fuckin dark character. My idea is Saw meets The Godfather Two. Proven track records, both genres. Young wise guy, assassin, and gets betrayed by his people. They whack him, leave his body parts in dumpsters all around the city, long story short, his put back by science or is it super natural? And he gets fuckin pay back on everyone who fucked him over including the cunt he was engaged to. She was getting "porked" by his boss the night the hero was killed. Have a meeting tomorrow, we'll hear what you fleshed out before we go to script. Bing two thirty don't make me come looking for you
