Not accepting a drink from the boss or maybe not going immediately when you "get sent for" , lots of little stuff get you killed in the mob. "You think I'm funny?"

[@Dj.MODÆO]

In the mafia, 1%er Biker gangs, and military black ops units….after something happens like a crime or secret mission and it is over and done with, you never, ever bring it up again. If at some point it become necessary to reference something from the past you #1 keep it as vague as possible #2 you word it in a way that doesn’t incriminate the outfit or admit that you or the person your talking to were involved or responsible #3 You never mention any specific details or unnecessary details that the person your discussing it with does not need to hear to understand what your talking about. Jimmy did not need to say “dead columbian money”…for Tony to know what money he was talking about. What jimmy should have said was “the police kept asking me questions about money that they think we stole from a murder scene.” This statement would have appeared completely innocent to anyone listening in and would have appeared as if they had nothing to do with it, while at the same time communicating to Tony exactly what the FBI raid was about, what the FBI was looking for, and also communicate to Tony that he needed to either get rid of that money asap internationally outside of the FBIs jurisdiction or carefully spent it in a way that didn’t leave a paper trail.

Such clever writing packed into less than three minutes. Both Tony and Jimmy are trying to tease out an incriminating statement from one another, all while trying stay in-character to avoid suspicion. Jimmy speaks matter-of-factly about Tony's interests in an attempt to appear like a trustworthy partner while goading Tony to acknowledge the illegal assets he's referencing. Meanwhile, Tony speaks in detached pleasantries to appear happy with Jimmy's release, while outlining how flimsy Jimmy's story is in an attempt to trip him up.

Anthony Jr: What ever happened to all my uncles?

[@maddybeagle5379]

We buried them... on a hill... overlooking a little river... with pine cones all around.

Meadow more or less already knew what was going on. She pretty much told him.

[@spicypickle889]

They deliberately made it obvious for the audience. No way a wiseguy capable of attaining the rank of capo would ever come to the boss' house this hot without recognizing it as a death sentence. One could argue that the FBI pressured him into the conversation but even they aren't that stupid. This scene was indicative of the early seasons before they trusted the audience with the source material.

[@BasePuma4007]

Why wouldn't the FBI try this? Best case scenario is they get Tony. Worst case scenario, Tony figures out what Jimmy is doing and they kill him, which eliminates a capo but also forces the members of the family to commit a serious crime, which they could potentially be charged with in the future if any evidence gets out.

[@BM-wh5qk]

Having a capo as an informant is pretty advantageous. Jimmy would have been much more likely to have access to Tony in the future than Ray Curto, who barely interacts with Tony.

"Carmela's got some lasagna upstairs. You want, some, Captain Obvious?"

[@richarddunne9802]

Jimmy is about as subtle as Homer Simpson when he's wearing the giant hat with the camera in it. 'Oh hello, Apu. Just go about your business as if the hat weren't here '

[@anthonyc1629]

Or when he wears that wire into Moe's bar.

[@thebaddog4104]

Jimmy doesn't get young ones like befor

[@saintrico3456]

he did catch ONE hot one in the end XD

[@scotts148]

Get the piano dolly

[@Spanner249]

I don’t understand why people think Jimmy is a rat. He was helping Tony here and it’s just Jimmys poor social skills that make Tony think he’s an informant. He was just trying to help. You guys are so mean.

[@icewise3991]

So colorful compared to later seasons

[@ubelmensch]

"You better lay low with that shinebox money" "What are you talking about" "They were asking me a lot of questions there, if I knew anything about the dead made guy in the restaurant and all of that"

[@oscarkoop2548]

Great writing and acting. Tony caught on instantly, and notice how he didn't answer one question incriminating himself at all. Great scene

[@tylerphillips6523]

Yes we used our eyes and ears to watch the same thing. Its True!

[@bigjim2times]

"The money was marked" has to be the stupidest thing you can say to your boss after getting out from arrest.

[@Flurgburglr]

"Hey Tony, remember that illegal activity you're involved with? Let's talk about that"

[@mitchelll3879]

Tony must be exhausted trying to examine every little bit of crap or a raised eyebrow..this stuff is so effing ridiculous..but Tony was a paranoid sociopath

[@Cheesusful]

Just cos you're paranoid doesnt mean they're not out to getcha

[@tonynomikos3702]

Paranoid or not he was right at the end

"I wasn't gone that long!" "Yeah, yeah I know!" BUSTED!!

You can see the moment Tony realizes the guy turned informant.

[@wilmetteentwistle9242]

Tony split his enemies like old man Profaci.

[@MensaGiraffe]

Jimmy declining Lasagna was the final nail in the coffin.

[@joshuaveazey5378]

The director did an excellent job with this scene. When Jimmy walks and talks, the camera lingers on Tony, and you see how the wheels are turning for him as he gradually realizes what's going on. If you didn't already guess what Jimmy's doing here, you damn sure get it by the time the scene is over from Gandolfini's silent acting.

[@moboutmen]

Love how the camera pivots the scene180 degree when Tony, now facing west, realizes his captain has likewise turned.

[@Hetnaset]

"Thought you'd never see me again, huh, Carm?", said Jimmy, shortly before Carm never saw him again.

[@bigsixtyseven]

I love this scene, Tony picked up right away somethings not right. quickly changes the conversation and not saying much
