The Sopranos - Johnny Sack And Paulie

Paulie complains about Tony ruling against him in a sitdown to Johnny Sack, This is the first of many conversations between the two. These conversations lead to major problems down the road.

"Ginny can get heavy". Man, it must have taken Paulie a lot to not laugh.

It turned John into a three-dimensional character in one fell swoop. So his beef with Ralph makes sense in that context. And the behaviour at the wedding of Ariadne or whatever her name was makes sense for John, and makes a sharp contrast with all of the macho hard-ons around him.

Since Ralphie's bringin him all this Esplanade scadol, you'd think I was carrying a shinebox in my pants

Ginny can get heavy...[LONG PAUSE]

[@uglymikethethird2341]

I’m not a big fan of people of who smoke but damn Johnny does it with class.

[@jhiller21]

"Ginny can get heavy" You're fuckin' right about that

[@michilae]

Those melancholic eyes when Johnny says “.. he asks about you.” is the peak of the mankind’s comedic history

[@sgreen4865]

"Ginny can get heavy", that's an under statement "I don't stick my beak in", another one

[@SifuPL]

It's cheerfull to see how Paulie cares about friendship between families

[@jeremy28135]

to Paulie: "Carmine asks about you" to Raph: "Carmine doesn't know who you are"

[@numba1stunna885]

Shows how Johnny sack realized Ralph was a scumbag, but not an idiot

[@Chameleonardodavinci]

@@numba1stunna885 "tomorrow I can be early, but you'll still be stupid" ralph knew as well. Though Paulie still outlived them both in the end, so maybe he's the real winner

[@mikem591]

0:19 - Ginny can get heavy...Paulie holding back the laughter, thinking about Ralph’s joke...They probably had to do a couple retakes...lol

[@robertpreston2220]

the joke was not even told yet at this point

[@muriloninja]

Johnny Sack played Paulie like a fucking child! lol

[@SopranosFan57]

@jksonny Actually it lead to many different things. Paulie revealed information about Tony's HUD business. Which in turn lead to the Sopranos having to give a percentage to the Lupertazzi family after causing major tension between the families. It also almost got Carmine Lupertazzi whacked and it caused a major riff between Tony and Johnny. Paulie also revealed the Ginny Sack joke, which lead to Johnny Sack and Ralph Ciferatto almost getting whacked. All that happened cause of Paulie.

[@mikem591]

Probably why Toney wanted to whack Paulie. He started to view him as a liability. Toney didn’t know everything but sensed Paulie was behind a lot of the troubles between Jersey and NY..

[@patrikpatriksson]

Charles Schwab over here...

[@marcmatossian9549]

Jonny Sac played Pauly just like he did Ralphy. Even tho him and Tony were friends, he never let that get in the way of him being a good gangsta and getting intel on his competition
