Sopranos, a blend of drama and dark comedy, follows more in the footsteps, style and approach of Goodfellas, rather than the Godfather.

Olivant, I cant wait for your GF2 analysis. In the meantime, allow me to offer my GF3 transcript, which I posted here in the past. I'm pretty sure it will convince you that GF3 is the greatest comedy since Duck Soup:

As usual, it starts with a big ceremony... but to cut things short, heres the full transcript of gf3 in 15 lines:

- Michael has some Tony Bennett records in the kitchen as well as a nice sausage sandwich waiting for him.

- Meucci is an Italian-American who invented the telephone one year before Alexander Graham Bell did.

- Zasa has a stone in his shoe.

- bite,bite (In the heat of the argument Vincent suddenly remembered he forgot to eat dinner, so he tries a piece of Zasa's ear.

- Archbishop Gilday smokes a cigarette.

- Michael meets with a bunch of Sailors...they all agree that their ships must all sail in the same direction.

oh yeah and Gilday smokes another cigarette during the meeting.
