A scene from The Sopranos, S2e4 "Commendatori"
Slovenia madea small but funny cameo on the second season of what-may-be-the-greatest-television-show-ever: The Sopranos. Tony Soprano, who is visiting mafia contacts in Italy, says:
"My uncle’s problem is he went to the Russians in Brooklyn too much for the cars. Now, they kept the best stuff for themselves, shipped it off to St. Petersburg. Slovenia and Montenegro, they got people over there that profited from those conflicts, they got fucking bales of liquid cash. And you got contacts in the markets over there."

Slovenia: We’ve got fucking bales of liquid cash would’ve made a great tourist slogan, no?
(Thanks Šmon!)

Well, hell yes… we have bales of liquid cash… haven’t you seen them on our fields? Those white ones… actually, thats true diversity to discover
Heh. That would explain how people in tiny villages seem to survive and prosper. I’m always amazed by all the large, well-kept houses you can find in the middle of nowhere.
I do like the ring of that improved tourism slogan. However, as a language scientist I am compelled to say that the collocation of ‘bales’ and ‘liquid cash’ sounds odd. You can’t assemble bales of liquid. Maybe Tony should have said, "They got fucking drums of liquid cash."Which we do.
what Tony was saying is spot on!
Rupel was right. Slovenia as a perfect getaway is well known in the Soprano comunity.
But how did Rupel knew about it?!
@Davor: Damn! You’re right… Rupel was ambassador to the US and on a Fullbright schollarship
So he just might “have contacts in the market over there”
Nice. Although “Slovenia and Montenegro” makes me think he actually meant Serbia and Montenegro.
Trust me to always rain on your parade.
