"Members Only" is the sixty-sixth episode of the HBO series The Sopranos, and the first of the show's sixth season. Written by Terence Winter and directed by Tim Van Patten, it aired originally on Sunday March 12, 2006.
The episode begins with two FBI agents in a moving car, the agent driving states (to the camera) "Nobody ever went broke underestimating the taste of the American public," a quotation of a line by H.L. Mencken. The other FBI agent, Dwight Harris, is immediately affected by a bout of severe nausea and vomiting, during which an accompaniment soundtrack starts. The music begins a two-minute opening narration; a shortened version of a spoken word essay by William S. Burroughs, ("The ancient Egyptians postulated seven souls...") reading from his novel The Western Lands. Nearly a year has passed since the end of the previous episode; the narration is accompanied by snapshots of the Sopranos characters lives during the year.
