Tony's most-quoted confession -- 'lately I'm getting the feeling that I came in at the end; the best is over' -- is from the pilot, delivered in Dr. Melfi's office. That placement is the show's whole method: the lines people quote tend to come from therapy, the one room where Tony says out loud what the rest of the series only shows.
It’s good to be in something from the ground floor. I came too late for that and I know. But lately, I’m getting the feeling that I came in at the end. The best is over.
