Writing coach: Welcome. Why don't you tell the group something about yourself?
Christopher Moltisanti: My name is Chris Maceviti. I work on Wall Street. Not on Wall Street, but you know, stocks.
Writing coach: You write?
Christopher Moltisanti: Yeah... I want to write for the movies. "Goodfellas", shit like that.
Writing coach: Any special reason you chose this class?
Christopher Moltisanti: I didn't. It's a birthday present from my girlfriend. I had some problems with my screenplay so, I bought that book, "how to write a movie in 21 days". That was like a year ago.

TRIVIA

The model car inside the drug dealer's office is a Formula One car, a Williams FW15C driven by legendary French driver Alain Prost.
When Artie serves Tony and his men a dish with fennel sauce, Paulie jokingly asks if he can get AIDS from eating it. The Italian word for fennel, "finocchio", is frequently used as an insult to indicate homosexuals, hence the joke.
