Nick Tortelli: Carla, listen, l, I understand your feelings very well. I know some people probably thought I was a bad father and maybe I was and maybe I wasn't, and maybe I was. I speak to you from the bottom of my heart and guts, that these last few years without family has been very empty for me. All I've had is Loretta. No offense.
Loretta: None taken.
Nick Tortelli: I've come to learn that the most important thing is family. Yeah, I know, I come at this late date for Serafina's wedding, but I thought it would be a first step, in realigning myself with my offspring and then becoming truly a paternity figure. [Carla comes out of the office]
Carla: So you want to be a father. You want to get back in your kids' lives, huh?
Nick Tortelli: Absolutely.
Carla: Come over here. Let's go. Over here we have ten kids. Some of them are yours. Identify three, and you can stay. Otherwise you're out of here.
Nick Tortelli: Is this a test?
Carla: You're stalling.
Nick Tortelli: Ah... Give me some time to gather my momentum.
