"They actually paid me minimum wage to do that."

Like a good gangster, Sadik practices omerta — the oath of silence. Still, she all but boasts that she knows which character will be whacked first this season. But if she does know, she isn't saying.

"You'll see Cozzarelli's in the first episode, and a lot of characters are there at that funeral," she says, suggesting that someone big is going to get whacked.

One online gambling site, PinnacleSports.com, is already pegging Soprano captain Vito Spatafore (Joseph Gannascoli) as the 6-to-1 favorite to not make it all the way through episode one. As we learned last season, Vito had a secret life that might qualify him as mob boss of "Brokeback Mountain." That alone might be enough for Tony's crew to fit him with cement shoes.

Who Dares Steal Tony's Fiberglass Pig?

In addition to operating a small delivery service and a Web design company, Sadik serves as research consultant to Georgette Blau's On Location Sopranos Tour, a $40 ride through New Jersey's TV gangland, to see every known place where they've dumped a body.

Here, you'll see the Kearney, N.J., storefront that serves as Satriale's. Eight years ago, when HBO leased the building and put up the sign, complete with the fiberglass pig shown in the opening credits, neighbors actually thought a butcher shop was opening. Little did they know that this was where Richie Aprile would get chopped into mob burger.

As the tour heads down Route 17, you'll see the spot outside Satin Dolls where Ralphie (Joe Pantoliano) savagely beat to death the pregnant stripper who was carrying his child and, as a result, took a beating from Tony.

Just up the road is Party Box, where Big Pussy was meeting with the FBI, and he's nearly exposed as an informant by another mobster who moonlights as an Elvis impersonator.

One of my favorite stops: Joe's Bake Shop, now a window blinds store, where Christopher flies into a rage while waiting for pastries in Season Two and shoots a baker in the foot. The scene echoes back to Michael Imperioli's early role as "Spider" in "Goodfellas," when he plays a kid who is similarly shot in the foot when Joe Pesci loses his temper.
