Kate: Oh, my God. This is bad.
Sonny: What?
Kate: You have to get salt. You have to — salt. Hurry.
Sonny: Salt? For what? Get the blood out?
Kate: You’re going to make me explain this to you now?
Sonny: Well, you should explain it –
Kate: You have to throw the salt, Sonny, all right? And then you have to spit. Just go. It’s in the second cupboard on the right.
Sonny: Two specks of blood right here. That’s all I got here.
Kate: Go.
Sonny: All right.
Kate: The salt is for throwing and you don’t really have to spit, all right? You just have to pretend to spit so that you ward off the curse.
Sonny: What curse?
Kate: Blood on the wedding dress! It is the worst omen of all.
Kate: Sonny, what is taking you so long? Give it to me.
Kate: Uh — okay, do it. Do it. Thank you. Okay.
Sonny: What?
Kate: Spit.
Sonny: You — come on, I’m not going to spit.
Kate: Yeah, you are going to spit. You’re going to spit right now. Right now. Shoot.
Sonny: You see? What — okay, you know what? Hopping around like that, you’re going to fall and — and break your face.
Kate: I have to hop in a full circle while chanting “faith and love” six times. Love and faith, love and faith.
Sonny: Oh, so I guess the salt wasn’t enough for you?
Kate: Nonna Falconeri said I have to hop-chant whenever I felt the premonition of a disaster.
Sonny: All right, stop. Now stop because now you’re making me nervous.
Kate: There is blood on one of my wedding dresses, a wedding dress that you were never supposed to see. I am facing multiple curses here, all right? One cannot be too safe.
Sonny: You want to break a curse? I got a way to break a curse.
Kate: This is exactly the kind of behavior that got us into this predicament.
Sonny: What predicament? Stop being silly. Come here just for — just come here for a second.
Kate: It’s really a shame, you know?
Sonny: What?
Kate: I liked this dress and now Federico is just going to have to make me a new one.
Sonny: So you’re going to trash this beautiful dress that looks so beautiful on you because there’s a speck of blood?
Kate: Yeah.
Sonny: We did the salt thing. We did the spit thing. If you want to bunny hop, you can lean on me. Let’s banish this curse right now.
Kate: And now you’re making fun of me.
Sonny: I’m not — wouldn’t you, honestly?
Kate: It doesn’t really matter, right? Because I can’t wear this dress anyway. I can’t wear it to the reception. I’ll be looking over my shoulder the whole time, seeing if the roof is caving in. Why don’t we just bring some black cats, some ladders? You know, cats, they get a bad rap in that. But it doesn’t matter. We could just make the wedding date on Friday the 13th. How’s that?
Sonny: I want this dress. I love this dress. I love you in it. And when we have our first dance as husband and wife, I want you wearing this dress.
Kate: Okay, I — oh, my goodness.
Sonny: Yes.
Kate: I’d hoped you’d approve, but I didn’t think you’d be so attached.
Sonny: Well, I can’t explain it. The dress speaks to me. Can I show you?
Kate: I don’t know.
Sonny: Come here. Let me see this. It’s a beautiful dress. I love it. Can you move that, please? All right?
Kate: Okay, just — I’m going to consider it.
Sonny: Okay.
Kate: But if there is the remote chance of me ever putting this dress on for any reason at all, you have to stop kissing me while I’m in it.
Sonny: Yeah, I can live with that. Come over here for a second. How you doing? Oh, that’s nice.
Sonny: You know what? If we’re cursed, bring it on because that was amazing.
Kate: Mm-hmm.
Sonny: Yeah, well?
Kate: Well, I agree. But can you do me a favor?
Sonny: Yes.
Kate: Can you please not invite curses?
Sonny: Are you — you’re serious about this curse thing?
Kate: It’s hard not to be with my heritage. Sonny, do you remember how many people were superstitious when we grew up?
Sonny: Like Moose Minucci’s Uncle Dino when he used to sweep out his toy store?
Kate: Yes, exactly, always with a dustpan. He’d never push the dirt out the door because he didn’t want to push –
Sonny and Kate: Out the luck.
Sonny: You know, remember — I don’t know if you know the Cerullos. They would never say the name of an illness out loud. They would always whisper.
Kate: Well, if you say it out loud, it makes it so. But, you know, Nonna Falconeri, she was the worst. The worst. She had tons of superstitions. She had this mirror in her front room, apparently. It came with us when the family came from Sicily. You know, it was her lucky looking glass. So anyway, one day, my cousin Olivia and I, we were playing Snow White. And before I could stop her, Olivia took the mirror off of the wall, you know, to see who was the fairest of them all, and it fell and broke.
Sonny: What’s wrong?
Sonny: You all right?
Kate: Oh. Sorry, I just — sometimes it hits me how much I miss my grandmother.
Sonny: Yeah, yeah, I know the feeling. What about the — Olivia and the broken mirror?
Kate: Nothing, it just — it just explains how superstitious I am. That’s all. You’ll have to understand, Olivia and I were just little girls. Adults were all-knowing. When Nonna walked in and saw that broken mirror, she shrieked. She made us count every single shard of glass. There were 28 of them. We had to tie 28 bows of white ribbon around every mirror in the house. I just — I haven’t thought about that in a long time.
Sonny: Have you been in touch with Olivia?
Kate: No.
Sonny: No?
Kate: No, I don’t think I’ve talked to her since I was junior editor of “Couture.” I think that was the last time I went home. Well, there was that time you took me back.
Sonny: But you guys were great friends as kids, and –
Kate: No, not really. Actually, we were — we were pretty competitive.
Sonny: Oh.
Kate: Olivia was a rebel, and I was the good girl. She thought that I didn’t know how to live, said that I never would, said that I was humorless, said that I would never, ever catch a man.
Kate: I could — I could go on. It really doesn’t matter. If she could see me right now, I am about to marry the wildest, handsomest guy in the neighborhood.
Kate: You’re not going to stay?
Sonny: I’d love to, but, you know — no offense — I’m starving. You never have good food in the house.
Kate: Well, maybe I’m changing.
Sonny: Yeah?
Kate: Maybe my new life as a newly engaged woman is releasing my inner domestic goddess.
Sonny: Well, yeah, as far as the goddess, I believe that, but all the other stuff, I don’t know, you know?
Kate: I’m going to make you eat those smug words, along with the delicious snack I’m about to prepare with my own two hands.
Sonny: Oh, please, you’re kidding me.
Kate: Oh, no, you sit tight. You prepare to be impressed.
Sonny: Oh, okay. I am impressed.
Kate: Don’t –
Sonny: You are in charge.
Sonny: Yeah, could I have Bensonhurst, Gloria Cerullo?
Sonny: Hi, Mrs. Cerullo. It’s Sonny. Michael Corinthos, yeah. How you doing? Listen, how you been? And how’s Lois? Some things never change. That’s kind of the reason I’m calling. Listen, I need to ask you a big favor.
