This one might be the best one you did. Such a classic rivalry.

[@AndriyValdensius-wi8gw]

Paulie : You're late. Ralph : Tomorrow I'll be on time. But you'll be stupid forever. I'm sure that's inspired by Winston Churchill, a notorious imbiber. Lady : You're drunk, Mr Churchill. Churchill : Madam, tomorrow I will be sober. But you'll always be ugly.

[@maxparkinson]

“I’ll be on time tomorrow, but you’ll be stupid forever.” The wit on this show was great.

[@telamb9]

[@blackhairedgoon8218]

It's based from a real Churchill quote "Lady, in the morning I'll be sober , but you will still be ugly"

[@castortroy7704]

@Ryan Guidry Ralphie was a made man and the Dimeo Family's top earner so Paulie would've been the one to get whacked. In a straight up fist fight with no weapons Paulie might beat Ralph's ass but Ralphie would still put up a damn good fight. Guy was batshit. If Ralphie fought dirty as he did with Tony Ralphie would kick Paulie's ass. It'd be one helluva brawl.

Gotta love how Silvio sides with Paulie immediately. He wants that money to go to Paulie so he can kick up more to him.

[@dfensy1]

This is what I just figured out about Paulie. He was involved in several money heists in the show. Most of the other guys have some sort of legit business of their own (Sil with the strip joint; Pussy with the car shop), but Pauile gets his money from no-show jobs, gambling, loan-sharking, etc., and still has the balls to pull risky jobs like heist (at his age). Say what you will about him, but Paule was one of the few old fashion wiseguys.

[@colorcombinations7387]

I don't think it's a question of being old school, Carmine is the epitome of an old school mafioso in the show and is all business. I think Paulie just lacks the intellectual capacity to run an organized racket. These small jobs (like literally stealing from an old lady or extorting a landscaper) either earned him peanuts and/or were just a short term cash boost. Ultimately this approach greatly diminished his stature in the organization due to the small envelopes he kicked up, which is largely where his constant insecurity and double dealing came from (one of the main factors to being down the Soprano family). He's like the old boomer dinosaur at the office who holds the company back but sucks up to the boss and relies on his seniority.

[@jimreily7538]

​@@colorcombinations7387John Gotti was almost exclusively a heist and loan shark guy like Paulie until he took out Paul Castellano. Gotti and the guys who supported him looked on Castellano as a "racketeer" and a "businessmen" and not a "street guy", and they derided him for that. That was actually part of the reason they could get the muscle together from different crews to hit Big Paul. Including Sammy the Bull who, before the hit, was considered one of Paul's guys. Gotti, before he approached Sammy in the preplanning phase of the hit, was even thinking about taking out Sammy too - until they approached Sammy, who had lots of different conduction businesses (some legit and others not legit), other businesses including nightclubs and so on, but still carried himself as a "street guy", and was known as such because he'd spent years robbing people, robbing cars and even robbing phone booths (one of his biggest incomes waa from literally robbing phone booths of coins), during the period before he got into business. So it's not always about intelligence. Big Paul was a very smart boss and made millions for himself and his family. But he isolated himself and by not being involved in, and by looking down upon street crimes, he was considered, basically, weak.

I need that money for my “long range planning” 😂🤣😅

[@cristiangallardo6629]

Tony couldve at least got Paulie about $20K , $12K was very low for a $100K lick. After all , Paulie was always very loyal to Tony and always checked anyone who didn’t respect Tonys orders. Tony slacked especially since he didn’t even like Ralph that much anyway.

CRISTIAN GALLARDO and little Paulie should have got some doe for having to hang around in 11 degree weather!

Ralph was his best earner.. Vito was his best earner.. Money matters the highest for the ruthless Mafia Boss.

[@keefwins04]

He might have got more if he didn’t bring up Green Grove.

[@HovaNirvana]

Remember this is only a couple of episodes after “Pine Barrens”, where Paulie’s dickheadedness messed up what should have been a simple, quick assignment. I’m sure that was still on Tony’s mind as well. Not that Tony ever knew the extent of Paulie’s culpability, but it was a pretty serious strike against him. Paulie lowkey got away with way more than he should have over the course of the series.

That was a bad call on his part

You owe Paulie Walnuts an apology.

[@YungM.D.]

The scene with Ralphie’s crank call is so bizarre in retrospect because it’s really funny and all three of the fellas are having such a good time and they all died untimely, really brutal deaths.

Paulie acts like such an old lady with the way he gossips, breaks anything he's told in confidence and starts shit for no reason. Paulie was never an learner like Ralphie so he had it out for him and would attack any way possible, especially with writing the family gossip pages.

[@JohnSmith-bm6zg]

People don’t realize that Paulie was the most socially astute of all the characters. That’s why he made it to the end. All the hehehe laughing was just a persona for his real wolf like character.

[@m.a5905]

The fact that Paulie wasn't capped in the end is a tragedy.

[@eightoheight]

1:00 Jesus, Gandolfini really let himself go in that scene that he barely remembered his line

[@tonyc7301]

Paulie: "I get proof it was him, he's a fucking corpse" Tony: "Nobody's killing anybody". Tony kills Ralph in the very same episode.

[@Overlorddz]

2:06 that's so funny how he reacts much more aggressive to Ralphie 'sit the fuck down and shut up' while Paulie was the one attacking and he's only being told 'sit dooooown' in a let's be reasonable voice. The look on Ralphs face while he's eyeballing Tony too haha

[@brianmontgomery580]

Tbf it's a little different telling someone they're late when they are, and then calling someone stupid lol

[@synthmalicious7541]

Truest thing Paulie ever said “He’s a saint. You forget the 1000 incidents with that guy?”

[@Reclusive247]

As always with Soprano's, Tony ruling against Paulie, at the sit down, was a culmination of many things. Ralphy is a good earner, so Tony was content to keep him happy where possible. Tony was getting increasingly pissed with Paulie, for a number of reasons. Messing up at the pine barrans job etc. Tony can also be petty if he feels undermined, like when Paulie was bragging about getting his mom in Greengrove, where Tony's mom was. But I think the main reason, was that he told Paulie he would speak with Ralphy about the £50k, meaning he was in Paulie's conner at this point, Paulie, being a hot head, shot down Tonys help and demanded a 'formal' sit down. So Tony, feeling slighted at Paulies response, was thinking, fine, you want a sit down, don't complain when I rule against you then. It was probably fair to give Paulie, much more money, but Tony was always an opportunist. All things considered, an excuse to keep Ralphy happy, punish Paulie for his mistakes and bring him down a peg, all played in to Tony's hands. Even the slip from Furio was a great excuse to cut the meeting straight after the ruling.

[@ClickClack_Bam]

True. Then there's always the game of Tony being able to throw that in Ralph's face later on & forever over anything. Wise play despite the screw to his own crew.

[@shawnhaynes8262]

[@georgedavisisinnocent79]

I have to love Ralph's constant desire to wind up Paulie as he knows he'll bite, the phone prank is one of the funniest parts of the whole series.
