My 10 Favorite Ralph Cifaretto Quotes on The Sopranos

When most people think of Ralph Cifaretto, what first comes to mind is Tracee’s horrific death in “University” (S3, E6). While it’s easy (and quite reasonable!) to cast Ralph aside as your garden-variety psychopath, I think there’s more to him than meets the eye. In any case, he contributes significantly to The Sopranos story. So, here are my 10 favorite quotes from Ralph Cifaretto on The Sopranos.

1. "Hi, this is Detective Mike Hunt... Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania Police Department. You have a son, Peter Paul?"
