Pat Parisi threatens Gloria Trillo - The Sopranos

I do not own this video, nor have I produced it.
Copywrite: HBO
The Sopranos
Season 3 - Episode 12: Amour Fou.
In this scene, Parisi [in one of his best scenes] threatens Trillo to never contact Tony ever again or...you get the idea.
"Here's some standard operating procedure. Stay the F*ck away from Tony Soprano..shut the f*ck up, and listen; it's over, capisce? Over and done. You call, or go anywhere near him, or his family, and they'll be scraping your nipples off these fine leather seats. And here's the point to remember: My face is the last one you'll see, not Tony's. Do we understand each other? It won't be cinematic."

Thats the point, most gangsters wear baggy clothes and are tatted up. People see them and they are scared to even be in the same sidewalk. Now these guys, they look like regular Joes, nothing flashy. Yet they can kill you with the most calm faces, you probably wouldn't see it coming.

I've met a ton of the actors on this show. A large portion of them are from Staten Island which is where I happened to be born and raised. Living in Hells Kitchen now but I met them all before I made the move to Manhattan. Patsy, Eugene, Feech, Uncle Pat, Jason Parisi, Bobby, and more. Not to mention about 30-40 actual notable mobsters including Sammy the Bull, Frank Cali, Frank DeCicco, Castellano, Anthony Graziano, Gregory Scarpa and way more. Didn't meet any of the real mobsters but grew up with and was friends with a few 3rd generation Persicos, Gallos, Langellas, and Cutaias. Staten Island has always been a huge mafia bastion.

“Mine will be the last face you see, not Tony’s” I think that’s when it finally struck Gloria “Oh shit, Tony may be more powerful than I had thought” because up until that point she essentially didn’t take any of Tony’s threats seriously. But then in comes Patsy, looking like your everyday guy, pretending to go for a test drive and he got that close to her that easy. I think it was a real moment of realization that Tony was all he said he was and more.

[@WaniZame]

I didn’t read it as her realising how powerful Tony was (she always knew he was a “big man” as that’s why she was attracted to him) more how disposable and inconsequential she was. All she wanted was attention from Tony even if that was him threatening her. The fact he would send a lackey and not bother himself was a moment of realisation for her on how little she mattered.

[@thememaster7]

He looked at her sexually, said they'll be scraping her nipples off the seats, said it won't be Tony and said it won't be cinematic. So if it was Tony, she would be killed humanely, but she would be raped and burned with Patsy.

What I always found keen about this scene is it also validates that Tony, being a sociopath, has used his therapy as a way of making himself more effective in doing bad shit rather than fixing his internal issues. Like, Patsy very specifically making it known to her that HE and not Tony was going to be the one to do the deed was a point that had to be made to Gloria. He (Tony) would not have picked up on Gloria's suicide-by-cop desire unless he went through years of therapy with Melfi. Gloria wanted Tony to be the destroyer and therapy taught Tony to deprive her of that. Very keen on the writers.

She was totally suicide-by-cop when Tony was choking her; she begged to be killed. He knew from that event - and from her statements like “nobody cares if I’m alive or dead” - that she was suicidal.

[@harryp7346]

This may be the case, but I think Tony wasn't an idiot - with or without the therapy, I think he knew she was a bit crazy and obsessive. And he knew he had to completely sever ties with her, and not rise to her games. Perhaps this is a "suicide-by-cop"-type reference, but I think it's simpler than that. It's just Tony saying you'll never see me again. Furthermore, Tony is obviously into organised crime - one of the aspects of such crime is the fear and intimidation (e.g. the police can't help you because even if you get one person arrested, there will be other people to take revenge). I feel he is just emphasising his position as a truly dangerous mob guy.

Patsy Parisi is such a good character. He has an unassuming quality and understated cunning that doesn't come off as brash or showy. He's the the lowkey, under the radar gangster who'd be perfectly civil and friendly with someone, and his neighbours all think he's a regular guy.

[@RamnaViaz]

Most people who've never been in a violent or an emergency situation imagine it is like in the movies; slow motion, panoramic shots, dramatic dialogue, everything loaded with deep meaning and symbolism, when in reality it's just fast and ugly, a blur of emotions that leaves your hands and legs shaking, that's why the line "it won't be cinematic" is such a good one, he shattered that delusion in her mind while ironically enough being extremely cinematic himself.

This entire scene is probably the most significant of the whole series. Up to then Pat Parisi was almost an unknown side character and his appearing out of nowhere to threaten Gloria in this subtle way gives a clear picture of what exactly the mafia is. A secret organization that can pop out of nowhere and catch you completely offguard.

[@moncorp1]

@nickys34 ~ Yup. I used to have to fly to NY, Queens area specifically, for business a couple of times a month back in the day. I would encounter those guys from time to time. You knew EXACTLY who they were the minute you laid eyes on them. Different from the rest of the neighborhood guidos. If you had no business with them they were usually fun guys. Especially when they found out your were from somewhere else. They wouldn't let you pay for a thing. But it didn't take long to figure out why they were what they were. Most would have trouble holding down the most menial of jobs because they were stupid. I mean dumb as a box of hammers.
