Tony really had a valid point talking to Richie. By this time it was the early 2000's and the mob really had to watch how they conducted business, that's why Tony implemented the rule of no more speaking business with the boss directly. By this time old school gangsters such as Richie were released from the can after being locked up since the late 1980's. Here Richie just cant comprehend the realization that some tactics they to do different and the scrutiny from the FBI was higher than ever.

[@maxspringfield]

Notice how every Sopranos character who comes out of prison has a chip on their shoulder, and thinks everybody is disrespecting them, and ultimately they become the cause of their own demise.

[@jakep1979]

max springfield Well can you blame them?! They took 1 for the team and didn't snitch and what the fuck did that get them?!

[@lakerstr8killurteam]

Especially a guy like Phil who spent twenty years in the can.

[@dormiebasne3578]

@@lakerstr8killurteam is that how long he spent? His character never says much about it.

[@dormiebasne3578]

Also, very good observation on the part of the OP. I think it's a fairly astute means of commenting on the exponential change that has occurred in mafia business in the latter half of the 20th century, which could well be applied to the greater society. As the world becomes more advanced, so does change over time become more extreme and striking to those removed from it by reasons of isolation, be it through incarceration or other means. Their inability to reintegrate into mob life seamlessly is just a symptom of their greater inability to simply rejoin the normal world, as it has moved on without them. They're like vengeful spirits more than they are valuable associates in a world where subterfuge is key. For this reason, I don't see it as "snitching" for the family to arrange for Feech's parole officer to visit him while in possession of stolen property. It was a merciful thing to do, as he'd eventually go to jail again for something worse, or be killed. These "mobsters frozen in time" are at once a stark reminder of the mob's lost power and a repudiation of the vaunted "golden years" Tony and others wax philosophically about.

Richie's trouser shot has the toughest reputation in essex county.

@@ryanmerkow9187 agree. Same with Tony B, all these suits “a la Sonny Crockett” that he wears. Love this attention to details in The Sopranos

[@jenlans]

Knowing Richie, he probably backhanded the kid who spilled the rice on him lol

Actually, he seemed to be okay with kids lol when Beansie reprimanded that kid at the pizza parlor Richie calmed him down and told him it was okay. And the kid clerk at Scatino's sports store, Richie seemed okay with him. I don't think a dude like Richie would backhand a civilian kid in a mall full of witnesses.

[@Snarkythecat]

jenlans He probably built a ramp up the kids was and drove Lionel up in there

[@jakep1979]

If you aren't an associate or owe Richie money then he was pretty good in behaving himself.

[@66ott7]

No, not probably. Hes a shopping cart from here on out.

[@adamgoldsteintv]

I would’ve liked to have seen that.

[@unknown-td2ly]

The fact that feech was made before the electric light fascinates me. Lmao

[@cromandum217]

the electric light was invented in 1809. Feech was not 200 years old at the time of the sopranos

Ever notice how radically crazy their dialogue goes and all of a sudden like a joke or something breaks it and they start laughing😂

That fuckin kid who spilled fried rice all over Richie was my favorite character I wish they did more scenes with him

[@RevealedFilms]

Richie had on the same pants as Penguin did in the 1992 Batman film 🤣

As i go back and rewatch the show i never realized how hilarious a lot of the dialouge was lol fried rice..

Man had to specify that the rice was fried

Apparently the kid that spilled fried rice on Richie was also buried on a hill, overlooking a little river, with pine cones all around 😂

This guy Richie April - HIS acting is excellent - he stood his own despite the physical difference with Tony.

[@YukonJon]

He’s got tremendous moxie for his size

[@utubeisCensorred]

The Eye acting here is fucking amazing

[@milkmanmichael5955]

Goddamn if Richie isn’t the scariest character on the show based on eyes alone

[@BronzeBullBalls]

Richie was waaay out of line. No way a boss would take that shit from one of his underlings. Tony is a patient guy. lol

[@saljpal3]

Don't forget back in the day it was the other way around.

[@AlanHope2013]

Richie is the brother of Jackie, who was the head of the family, and when Jackie died, the head passed to ... you know what? Watch the fuckin Sopranos instead of talkin shit based on two-minute clips. You are out of your fuckin depth here, kid. Get schooled and come back and say something intelligent.

[@Srinidhi00726]

That's what Tony says in the next scene. That if he is so old school, then he should accept the old school fact that he is the boss. Do you think Richie would have let Sopranos take control after the death of his brother Jackie?

[@jakedill2468]

Richie knew exactly what he was doing when he switched to talking about Janice. He was a sneaky fuck

[@gcsresource]

I remember this very well! I was the guy wearing the green and navy blue polo with the white collar and light blue jeans right inside that Brooks Brothers they walked passed!! This was shot at the Garden State Plaza in Paramus, NJ!!

Is anybody else hungry for fried rice after watching this? I don’t know why but I’m obsessed with the fried rice story from Richie. It’s becoming my favorite story arc in the Sopranos.

[@DaleRobby]

It is too bad Ritchie didn't slow down and back off like Tony said. Tony seemed to want to work things out with the guy, at least in the beginning. But these guys in prison, they think something is owed to them and they can't see Tony as anything but the teenager he was before they went in. Also, the kid who spilled the fried rice, he never had the making of a varsity athlete. That's all I'm gonna say.

Richie should have just been a well paid debt collector under someone else's control and not try to manage things. Then he'd have no problems and have a long career. Trying to run stuff is what did him in. He was a solider, not a thinker.

[@WhatAHorribleNight]

This is Tony back when he still tried to be reasonable with people. If this were season 6 Tony, he would've been violent and aggressive with Richie from day one.
