Bust Outs In The Sopranos And Goodfellas

Robert Patrick met with some recovering gamblers to prep for this role. He said they all said the same thing, gambling made them feel invincible.

[@usefulprogrammer9880]

I guess that’s why I’ve always tended to win more than I lose, and always cash out conservatively. I’ve always viewed gambling as being in a defensive position. You aren’t playing for the casino’s money, they are playing for yours…

[@Skank_and_Gutterboy]

@@usefulprogrammer9880 That's why I've only ever played cards with buddies where I stand to lose $20 over a night. Casinos are rigged, they cheat people and they're so rich that they write the laws. I'm not playing a game that I'm guaranteed to lose. There's a reason why they're billionaires and it's rare for a player to even break even.

[@edd8914]

​@@shanep5819 Yes, Tony and Richie were both there to exploit him. However, I don't think Richie was originally intending a bust-out. If he was, I would have expected him to encourage more gambling. Instead he told Davie to stay away from his games until he caught up on his payments. Seems like Richie was interested more in a long term steady stream of income.

[@sit2go]

Eventually Richie would have busted out Davey. If Davey was having trouble paying his debts.

Both situations are masters of their domain. Goodfellas was more entertaining in a short period. But the Sopranos one hits harder, longer, and ultimately holds it's weight over the season. It's just movie vs television, pick your poison

[@jangoescoricky9393]

In the Goodfellas partnership scene: Look to the left of Sonny as he speaks to Paulie. You'll see Tony Sirico (Paulie from Sopranos) eating in the background playing Tony Stacks. Tony appears early in the film too.

A man pays his debts. How do you let your restaurant tab get to 7K ... In the 1960s no less !! We're talking over 20k now. The problem is is that Tommy is a deadbeat between scores.

[@natturnt6613]

He knew the owner didn’t have the balls he was never going to pay the tap

[@CaptainTrips560]

They were setting the guy up for a bust out. Racking up that huge tab was a part of the playbook to get the guy in their claws. So was Henry “helping” him by bringing him to Paulie

[@criticaljacques2237]

Running up that $7000 tab was not just about the convenience of free meals/drinks/entertainment... it was part of the long-term plan to bust the joint out in the first place. Tommy was the fear-inducing "bad cop," and Henry's role was to be the less threatening, more reasonable "good cop" that the owner Sonny felt he could turn to once things started getting dicey. Henry ultimately takes Sonny to Paulie under the pretense of doing the poor, stressed-out guy a favor... but in reality he's just sealing the deal. The plan works to perfection as Sonny is literally begging Paulie/Henry for an arrangement that can and will only end in ruin for Sonny, the (soon-to-be) former owner of the Bamboo Lounge. Mafia 101... Just as Tony tells Scatino near the end of this video, this kind of thing "is [Tony's] bread and butter".

[@masterzombie161]

Back then it was different because someone like Tommy was feared by many people and was paulie’s nephew.

He definitely wasn’t right in that situation with Beansie. Not even an iota. Only reason Tony couldn’t discipline him further is his ferocious reputation and support from other people in the organization. He also wasn’t right selling coke on the garbage routes against Tony’s wishes. All in all, Richie was an old school act; he has his moments (like with dave) where he can be reasonable, but he still believes in dominance and brutality and the old ways, which conflict with the order the boss (Tony) has set up.

[@PoppaBearandBabyBear.-be5jz]

@@Notimportant253 I agree and disagree at the same time. Richie has every right to feel some type of way especially because he put beans in in action and not once did beans ever visit him in jail, now the way he went about wasn't the smartest move. Remember Paulie did 6 months and hated Tony didn't visit Riche has a legitimate beef and that's just one situation where Richie was right to be upset but went about it in the wrong way. Even the way beans talks to the young kid is pretty disrespectful talking like he's a wise guy or tough guy to a civilian which tells me what kind of manager/boss he is. Richie gave the kid respect and told him not to worry about it and if you see Richie kept the code and never disrespected civilians thst weren't part of it.

In season 4 of The Sopranos when Artie gets scammed by the frog and Tony takes over his debt, he tells Artie to wipe his tab at Vesuvios, which is 7 grand, in return. The same as Tommy's tab in Goodfellas. I wonder if that was intentional

[@novavon88]

Why do so many of these compilations seemingly deliberately screw up the chronology? Here we see Ritchie attacking Davey at the poker game. AFTER that, we see Davey giving Ritchie a "light envelope" at his store... when that short payment is the entire reason Ritchie was so ticked off to find Davey at the game. I can't imagine that chronology was wrong by accident, but I can't fathom why it would be done purposefully. I see this on a lot of other clip-fests like this. Bugs the crab outta me.

[@pibble9207]

I get what you mean but to me the intent seems to be to juxtapose the goodfellas scene with the Sopranos scene. The emphasis is less on chronology and just comparing the two pieces of art. The Goodfellas scene happens after the takeover of the restaurant so it would have been difficult to compare both scenes in a chronologically correct and relevant manner

The big difference between the two is that Goodfellas never pretends its characters are anything but conniving thieves. Sopranos wants you to empathize and identify with Tony. That's why Davey gambles his way into debt so the audience feels like he deserves it whereas Henry and Paulie con Sonny by using Tommy as a threat.
