One of my favorite little things throughout The sopranos is when either Tony, or one of the guys is talking to somebody that they want something from in this case Paulie is having a "conversation" with the principal and right when they walk away there's this face of disgust. The gangsters in the show want to have their cake and eat it too, you can't have a reputation of robbing, killing, extorting people and expect them to want to associate with you.
