The Sopranos - Paulie Meets Finn

[@91debaser]

This scene sums up Paulie perfectly. Pushes around those who are beneath him, and then in the blink of an eye starts sucking up to him because he doesn't want Tony to find out lol. He was a great character.

[@SuperCanuck777]

***** yes, biggest wanker in the whole series.

[@91debaser]

Bill Shatner He's also a great representation of what it takes to survive in that world. No wife and kids, no baggage, just a true survivor and one of the few that actually makes it to the end. Paulie is one of my favourite characters, although yes he was basically a complete psychopath and a scumbag. But he is also a very lonely character, the scene where he is all alone laughing really hard at the TV, the scene where he's worried Tony will kill him on the boat. His is a very lonely existence, all he has is this life and the small amount of status that it gives him. I loved Paulie's arc in the show.

[@keeyaaw]

***** Yup, say what you will about Paulie, all the terrible things are true. But at the end of the day, he's one of the few characters that makes it.

[@chasjohn57]

***** well said!

[@t.l.knight8005]

***** True Dat! It kind of reminds me of a Story in Archie where Reggie Bullies a Frosh (aka Freshman) yet when the Young Man says "Hey Cousin Moose, how's it going?" Reggie gets terrified and is nice to the Frosh. He doesn't realize that Moose and The Boy aren't even related.

Whoever thought of this scene is a genius. Couldn't write a better scene for paulie's character. The look on his face when he realizes he's been insulting meadows boyfriend is perfect. That scene, Paulie trying to kill the cat when tony walks in, The ghostbusters pyschic, all of pine barrens, killing the waiter angry at chris for no tip, any scene with Chris and pailie fighting, Paulie visiting tony after he gets shot causing tony's heart monitor to go off from being too negative after he was just warned by meadow not to that, Paulie being too cheap to pay the church and ride operators at the street festival and paulie's road trip with Tony running towards those unknown gansters were all just brilliant. Those writers knew exactly how to write for Paulie's character. Brilliant job of writing for the characters they had

[@hoenircanute]

"On May 10, 1972, Sirico publicly declared his homosexuality and became a gay rights activist.[58] He subsequently joined and served as a minister in the Metropolitan Community Church.

The brilliance in Pauli’s character was that he easily portrayed a 2-timing shiester who bullied those beneath him and sucked off those above him (only when he felt they’d hold power, hence his dismissal of Carmela when Tony was seriously injured).
