The Sopranos - Ralphie tries to apologize to Tony

FB: / thesopranoscrazy

[@geniosityfilms]

I love that Paulie hugs Ralphie when he first comes in but really he's patting him down for weapons

[@laminage]

The same thing happened in Godfather II at Mama's funeral when michael hugged fredo and also checked him to see he had no weapons on him. after finding out he caused the failed assasination through hyman roth, there was no such thing as being too careful

[@freethis222]

"Anything else?" Cold...

[@Tkieron]

Tony humiliated the fuck out of Ralphie in this scene. Barely acknowledged him, made him wait while he ate, didn't ask him to sit, acting dumb like "What did you do?" so he had to spell it out. Great scene of a Boss dressing down a soldier.

[@jakep1979]

yes but at the end of the apology, Tony should have embraced Ralph like he embraced every guy when they had an argument/quarrel and they settled their differences. Tony was in the wrong here based on the mob code and he fucking knew it but he had to save face and be a dick about it because his own feelings were hurt.

[@BFD1989]

***** The reason he seems impatient with his crew is because of his clinical depression. He recognises ass-kissers and can barely afford the strength to compliment people he values. Like Sil, Carmella, Bobby in the later years.

[@malayaleeking]

Seriously. Like what does the script say..."(Tony acts the most boss he's ever been sitting down)". J.G. is masterful.

[@rambojohnj.6117]

I don't know why, but I always loved the way Tony fucked around with his fork while eating...clinking the plate, needlessly moving food around. Always makes me crave good pasta.

[@chess1458]

jakep1979 he knew Ralph's opology was not sincere....Ralphie has a hard time with bowing to authority....

[@heatison11]

Such a classic scene, the boss eating pasta dinner alone with his men watching over him, love it

[@marcelbey-el1947]

[@jameskennedy4377]

For some reason, I love Paulie and Chris in this scene. They don't say a word but the way they greet Ralph and then stand guard (so to speak) is very mafia.

[@garybaines6442]

Well Paulie did say ”Ralphie” when they greeted.

One of the rare scenes where we see Paulie smoking a cigarette, he looks real badass here like them old school mafioso

[@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants]

I saw that you never see him smoke a cigg

[@MobKnowledge]

It was a bit of an out-of-character moment for him. He was always meant to be the most health-conscious mobster, which is why we rarely saw him smoke.

[@DanRaidersWarriorsSharksGiants]

I think he does smoke a cigg another time? With all the free food the cast got all the members of the whole show who didnt gain weight it shows something about them in their personal life. Sil looks anorexic in season 1 "joke" Also you should see how fat johnny sack became after the show ended. To put on that much weight in your 50s or 60s I assume is rare for most humans.

[@mitchlucker666aaarh]

nah.... his most toughest moment was when he punked that young Cuban mobster in 6B with Tony. That actually made him respect the aging Paulie even more, cool scene
