*Mafia to (English) translation (from **0:52**)* Ralph: He did a terrible thing (he's supposed to die for this) Tony: Terrible... Your fkin card game (Yup... And its your job to kill him) Ralph: I know how close you are to the family (Yeah... it'd be hard for you to kill him) Tony: Nah... I feel for you... You're living under the same roof (Actually, its gonna be hard for you to do this) Ralph: And it was my card game... (Yeah i get it... i'm supposed to kill him) Tony: (Yup) Ralph: But what happened to Sunshine was a disgrace (Yeah... like... Jackie really really has to die) Tony: (yup) Ralph: (you gonna say something?) To tell you the truth Tony... I want to give the kid a pass (I don't want to be responsible for this) Tony: Yeah? (Are you fvkin kidding?) Ralph: Its just me though, i know you got bigger concerns, you're the boss, and I'll make sure your orders are done whatever they may be (Well i'm not going to do it willingly, but if you force me to then fine. I'll kill the kid) Tony: Well i think you should go with your instincts on this Ralph. (I'm not ordering sh*t. What you do is on you.) Ralph: (Fvkkkk....) You do? (Come on man...) ... (Fvkkkk....) But Furio took a hit... and Chris... these are made men... (Well if I don't kill Jackie, its going to look bad on the family) Tony: I'll make sure they respect your decision. Cuz i'm sure you're gonna do the right thing.... That's why I made you captain (Oh the family ain't gonna look bad. This is all on you. All of this is on you, so don't put this on anyone else. Because you're going to have to kill Jackie) Ralph: This is Rosalie's kid (please don't make me... ) Tony: That's why I understand if you want to give him a pass. And I'm sure everyone else will understand too. And who cares about shit they say they don't have the balls to say to your face (If you don't do this, I'm going to make it clear to everyone that you're choosing against our own made guys and the family, you two faced sh*t talking fvk) Ralph: (This is how its going to be huh?) Tony: The kid disrespected you... but they don't have to live with your commitments... (Besides, you don't kill him then you look like a weak lil b*tch. And you fully put yourself in all of this you egomaniac) Ralph: (GG Good Game) Tony: And if the decision goes the other way... the one thing you can't do is blame yourself (Blame yourself you narcisistic fvk) You took this kid under your wing. You schooled him as best as you could... Didn't ya? (You completely fvked up my best friend's kid. I'm not gonna forget this. ) Ralph: .... Jack spoiled him... (Not my fault... besides, you can't prove it... ) Tony: I think this is yours... stupid kid was carrying it around during the holidays... (lets continue this converation in your kitchen some day) Ralph: (ever tasted bug spray?)

It was a skill he had before; its how he rose to the position he was in at the start of the series. MSON touches on Tony's intellect as well. I think what the scene touched on was peak Tony vs impulsive, anger control issues Tony. This scene is calculating Tony that rose to be the boss. But then there are other times where impulsive Tony takes charge (like when he created the problem with Ralph by hitting him). Ideally Melfi was suppose to be helping Tony get that hot-headed and impulsiveness under control so calculating Tony can always be in control, but she failed as a therapist.

@@ggsimmonds1 I agree with you 100% up until your contention that Melfi failed as a therapist. I would say she was powerless as a therapist to do anything about Tony's sociopathy. It's more or less gospel in the world of psychology/psychiatry that sociopathy (and its sibling, psychopathy) are untreatable conditions. This is why once she realized who/what he really was, she dumped him as a client.

"But the one thing you cannot do, Ralph, you cannot do... is blame yourself. You took this kid under your wing, you schooled him as best you could, didn't ya?" Tony's expression of absolute contempt contradicts his actual words. The message is so clear. He turned out like this because of you, Ralph. And all the other hints - disrespect, others talking behind your back, etc. are veiled threats to Ralph that he has to do the needful, when Ralph tries to chicken out. This scene is such masterful acting by Tony. His expressions convey everything. He is telling Ralph to kill Jackie Jr. but making it his 'choice'. What is also loud and clear is that Ralph at heart is a coward and lacks judgement. He is also a Narcissist. He has no problem bullying and killing Tracie, a young stripper from Bada Bing he made pregnant for something disrespectful she said, in a fit of Narcissistic rage, but when his foster son, Jackie Jr. kills guests at Ralph's card game, shoots at Chris and Furio, and tries to rob the game, he hesitates about what needs to be done and tries to weasel out of it, laying it at Tony's feet. Tony's having none of it, and deftly puts it back on Ralph. Ralph's last remark, "Jack spoiled him", another Narc trait when they cannot accept any responsibility for their actions and blame others. Exquisite piece of acting by Gandolfini, and superb writing with the subtle innuendoes. The camera, lights, closeups, this is a gem. What an incredible show this was. Wish JG was still with us.

Tony wanted him to spare Jackie's life. He gave him the gun after saying "You schooled him as best you could" the point being that Ralph was a shitty influence and he did what he did because Ralph was a shitty mentor. This whole scene is Tony trying to save Jackie, without having to be the one doing it so he doesn't catch any flak. "Who Cares About The Shit People Say That They Don't Have The Balls To Say To Your Face" The irony of this is Tony clearly does care. All the while he's trying to tell Ralph something he can't say directly.

Negative....thats where we disagree. Here’s my point: neither Tony nor Ralphie were trying to save Jackie. They BOTH knew he HAD to go. They just wanted the OTHER to make the inevitable decision. There’s no sentimentality involved: Don’t forget that Tony clipped Tony B when it was the right call.. The whole scene is Tony subtly but clearly telling Ralphie: This is your situation. Jackie’s f**up actions are partly on your poor guidance...and it was your Card game. So clean up your mess. Jackie was dead no matter what. They both knew that.

I watched this series in real-time, when it was happening. Never missed an episode. And, all these years later, I'm still realizing what GREAT writing and acting this was. Tony - in this scene - basically told Ralph "I know it was you", in the same vane as Michael Corleone telling Fredo the same thing, only less obvious.

James Gandolfini may have given the greatest performance in television history with this character. The more times you watch it, the more impressive he is. He's so nuanced and realistic with a role that many actors would have gone over the top with. I also don't know how many other actors could have made a character who does terrible things for a living somehow still sympathetic and likeable.

In the old days of Carlo Gambino, Caporegimes of “The Thing of Theirs” used to visit his quaint house, be metaphorically disarmed by Don Carlo’s sweet natured wife, await an audience with the man himself and, once inside the old man’s study, simply mention a name of whoever had done something that could potentially warrant a death sentence. Don Carlo would simply nod or shake his head. But this scene, this turns it on itself. It tells a nod with a shake. A thumbs up with a thumbs down. A frown with a smile. Laymen see it as bitchy. To those in the know, it is understood what is actually being said. Beautifully written and perfectly performed. My favourite line in this scene is Tony’s “Yeah?” to Ralph’s desire on giving Giacome “Jackie Jr” Aprile a pass. That “Yeah?” becomes a nucleus to what happens next. A doorway to a far more subliminally menacing exchange.

For real, the way Tony basically says, “You piece of shit, clean up your mess and I know what you did.” Crazy. And the way Tony puts the gun on the table, man. That’s basically a mic drop if I ever did see one. All Tone had to do was pull that gun out before the speech and say, “Save your breath. Here, use this.” And boom, Ralph would’ve gotten it. The conversation Ton and Ralph had, Ton basically killed Ralph in it. The Gun on the table was basically kicking a man while he’s down, if the man had no legs. Beating a dead horse with a sack of dead horses. 😂

It was a matter of who was going to have to take responsibility for it. Tony won out with the line about how Ralph schooled him the best he could, clearly implying that he led him astray . Then the final nail was pulling the gun out that Ralph gave Jackie. Ralph knew he was cooked at that point.

Re-watching the Sopranos, and this scene is so brutal. It's a shame they left out the part when Ralphie walks out of Satriale's with that devastated look on his face, or when he starts tearing up while he tells Rosalie some bullshit about Jackie being into drugs, knowing its just an alibi for his coming death. Jackie wanted to live the life, but Tony wasn't going to help him do that. After seeing Jackie at the strip club, Tony lost faith in Jackie and wanted him gone for disrespecting his daughter. Jackie fucks up big, and Tony uses the opportunity put it on Ralphie to "make the call," while letting him know exactly what he wanted Ralphie to do. Granted, Ralphie was showing Jackie the ropes against Tony's wishes, it goes to show how cold blooded Tony is and how ruthless the life is. Jackie Sr was Tony's best friend. Tony probably held Jackie Jr once or twice before he was even a month old. It reminds me of Pine Barrens, when the Russian dude is tearing up talking about his friend and how he loves him like a brother, and then next minute Tony's on the phone like, "yeah, you have to kill this dude" There are no good guys in this show. Only scumbags and tragedies

This scene is powerful for this reason ( this is my interpretation of it) tony wanted to tell ralph that jackie jr needed to die but ralph was thinking as a step father instead of captain (ralph dated jackie jrs mom). By tony telling him you'll do the right thing that was him telling him to be a captain first. At the same time this scene is also heartbreaking only because this meeting would seal the fate of jackie jr although technically he sealed his fate when he robbed the card game. One thing we have to take away is that this shows how exactly the mob works as far as be loyal to the mob family than actual family. Deep down ralph knew that jackie jr had to die but he figured that if he spoke to tony then maybe he could take his side however if tony would've took ralph side but giving him jackie jr a pass then Tony's leadership would be in serious jeopardy...but by killing Jackie Jr he remained stern in his leadership but deep down a little sad

Don Jon well, Ralph said Tony and his dad did it in the past. Does anyone knows of it was true?

Best scene in the show for me. The great game of them shifting the blame and responsibility back and forward to eachother!

Ralph is an asshat. I'm glad he got what was comin' to him.

I like how this scene shows that Ralph was capable of caring about someone else. He didn't want Jackie Jr. to die, but he knew there were consequences.

@@xgymratx He said capable of caring about someone else, not caring more about someone else than himself. He's selfish and egocentric,most of them are.

He doesn't care - it's all 100% selfishness. Jackie was his ally, and he was grooming Jackie to be in his crew. He knows he'll have to deal with grief, if he kills his girlfriend's son. Everything Ralph does is determined 100% by his self-interest.

Never felt sorry for Jackie Jr. Once lives are taken by your hand there ain't no turning back from the repercussions unless divine intervention take place and God shows mercy.
