@@xavierann5222 😭😭😭😭😭

Its not paranoia if you are correct, and we know that Tony is correct about Paulie snitching to Johnny sacks .

Round House Agreed, but the fact that Tony still hasn't let it go is telling. Johnny Sack and Ralph Cifaretto are both dead at this point so really the Ginny Sack joke should be ancient history. But Tony still considers using that as an excuse to kill Paulie, a man who has served his family for years and who he once looked up to. It shows that Tony is becoming more ruthless as a boss and doesn't really trust anyone anymore, not even his closest associates.

Silver Snail14 Look at it from Tony's point of view, for years Big Pussy and few other guys were rats and Tony had no Idea. there are plenty of episode in which Tony has flashbacks to when he was being setup by his closest friends. Pussy was a rat for the feds and still did his dirty work on the side with out them knowing, this is why it was so hard for Tony to figure him out even tho Tony's detective friend told Tony Big pussy was a rat. It is never stated in the show, but all the evidence is there to provide that Paulie too is a rat for the feds. Remember how Pussy protected Tony for the bevilacqua kid murder even tho he was working for the feds, so too did Paulie protect Tony for the first hit that he and tony did. Tony is not crazy, his mind is clear.

I understand Tony's mindset in this scene and why he wouldn't want to take any risks with any potential rats in his crew, but I still see it as evidence of Tony's growing alienation from the people closest to him. I don't think his mind is clear at all. I think that Tony loses most of his humanity after recovering from the shooting and gradually becomes more monstrous. He makes Bobby kill the Frenchman out of spite just because they had a drunken fistfight, he starts a fight with his young driver and beats the crap out of him just to show that he can, he doesn't put up the money to help Vito Jr. and has the kid taken away instead, then he considers killing Paulie and murders Christopher in cold blood after the car accident. Tony pretty much unravels in the final season of the show.

I can tell you are a fan like me, but Tony is far from crazy. lets look at the characters you mention. Tony forgives the person that shoots him and send him to hospital. Bobby assume that role/job because when Tony was in the hospital, bobby was not earning did hits on the side (remember the rapper that wanted to get shot in the leg). pulse bobby father was hitman. As the leader Tony had to show strength, coming out the hospital we was weak and could not let the guys see that. Remember how how phil said he lost respect for Johnny sack when he saw him cry. Tony made plans to have Vito Jr taken care of. As for Christopher, It was only a matter of time before he would betray Tony. Christopher always talk about writing a book. With his drug problem and Adriana death, it was only a matter of time. As for Paulie, he was working with the feds, you need to find out why Tony said to Paulie "Remember when is the lowest form of compliment" and what it implies. You see in the sopranos, everything repeats but with different forms. The first few seasons, sets up the last few season. By the final season, tony is smarter, but he is not crazy.

heh heh

Paulie is the pawn that made it to the other side

As if he told the writers to never write him off, lol.

That is the kind of person that life rewards

Reminds me of most workplaces

I know right. The director specifically made sure to shoot that 3-second segment as he's eating to clearly portray that too.

He was trying to lure Paulie into false sense of confidence- catch him in the lie, and kill him right there

I don’t think Paulie is being superstitious here. As silly as he is, he’s an experienced, street wise gangster that’s managed to survive the mob life for decades. I believe he was rubbing his chest as an excuse to have his hand close to his gun. And as Tony stood up behind him, Paulie stood up as well to be prepared.

@@tlightning8383 paulie holds his hands infront of him to always be prepared to defend himself. Always thought that was an interesting fact.

In the end Tony just couldn't do it... even if perhaps Paulie might have deserved it. It's almost like that big grin on Tony's face was him laughing at himself for his own weakness. I mean, at the end of the day Paulie was a relatively sympathetic character... relatively speaking of course!!

@@bobshenix wooow, I never saw it like that. He's laughing at his own weakness, damn

the background of the sea and sky on the close ups on them individually adds so much to it as well

beautiful 😭 love this show

He could have made peace with Paulie, but he could have done that w/o throwing the bottle. It's telling that Tony brought up Tourettes syndrome, asking Paulie if he had himself checked for that... but it's Tony who seems to -- in a sense -- have an issue with Tourettes (uncontrollable contextually inappropriate impulsive behavior); he gets that "look" in his eyes... then "something" happens, just like when he --- _not_ planned ahead -- killed Christopher Moltisanti. On the boat after staring at the knife, he seemed to be in a state where he was struggling to not give into the uncontrollable urge (never planned) to kill Paulie and using that knife. I think throwing the bottle was he trying to rein himself in and releasing his pent-up rage by instead throwing _something_ (just happened to be a bottle) at Paulie. Blowing off serious deadly steam. I'm not saying that the Tony character had Tourettes, but that his comment to Paulie speaks to some pathological uncontrollability in Tony that's a thousand times worse than anything a true Tourettes would do.

Fucking hell it means all things to all men.....

In Paulies dream earlier in the series, he says "When my time comes, tell me, will I stand up???". I think that seemingly random line has a connection to this scene. He thought his time had come so he stood up.

I like to think that Tony was testing Paulie if he could keep his mouth shut.

all these guys/personas portrayed in the series are more or less sadistic sociopathic murderers. the amount of wannabe-thug mafia-fanboys who worship these types is pretty much sad/tragic. human brainwashed condition I guess.

3Dtimespace yup. I always thought The Sopranos slowed down on the glorification of the mafia. Much more accurate of the decline of the wiseguys, stated on the show in multiple occasions. Tony, boss of jersey. Sure, he's got the money. Big house. Beautiful women. That comes with the territory. He's also in therapy. He's overweight. His kids are a mess. His wife uses him for her selfish needs but mostly openly hates him. His "other family" laughs by his side but keep their distance when they can. He's depressed. Even better when they show the rest of the crew. Paulie is not living large. Christopher.... where to start!? And the most repetive scenes that scoop up a lot of airtime are a bunch of unhealthy middle aged men sitting around eating sausage and pepper sandwiches in a titty bar. I can go on and on. Put it this way. Goodfellas had Joe Pesci abusing a restaurant owner to the amusement of a whole party of gangsters. The Sopranos had Artie Bucco sticking his annoying head in every time you thought the family was starting to enjoy themselves. At very few points did this lifestyle ever seem glamorous

thirdeyeindoctrine James Gandolfini was a great actor

one of the greatest shows

What? So making a business decision to whack somebody, albeit a long time friend, is sadistic? I don't think you now what sadistic means. Sociopathic, maybe. But sadistic, I hardly think so.

Also seems to me that the sea sat in as a symbol for Pussy - another old and good friend that Tony killed.

This show is so boring.

Never noticed that

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

If Paulie had of admitted it, Tony would have killed him for the trouble he caused and for lying to him. I dont think he was ever 100% certain, he had strong suspicions though.

Since when was Patsy captured just because his son was arrested, he’s a smart guy, him and Paulie probably okay’d the hit on Tony and then led the family

It's a boat, they rock

@Cringe Captor Shrekura They strived for realism and anyway it was just 1 scene as opposed to the whole thing.

Plus, revealing the truth and confessing on an isolated boat with just the two of them there. I don't think so.

The offence wasn't all that weak though - Tony knew whoever told Johnny that joke was essentially a mole in the family (glorified crew) leaking other business... he mentioned some specific business issues around the time when the whole joke thing blew up.

It was not a week offense so much conflict happened bc of what Paulie did

loved, ehh at this point in the show Tony only loved one person and even that's debatable

He didn’t whack him as he realised John is out of the picture and Paulie was more use alive than dead. Plus he didn’t want any more attention from the police and feds over Paulies disappearance.

He was only 90% sure that Pauli was the one and he didn't want to kill one of his closest friends without being 100% sure.

Yeah that and the slow mo at the club when chrissy realizes how alone he is.

@@mattsterh7740 yeah he looks like the devil personified there.

Nah worst one is when Chrissy sees them laughing in slow motion Tony looks like the devil incarnate

Hits hardest that the idiots in the comments pretend they don't know everything Paulie did behind Tony's back

I don't think he acknowledges his thoughts/behaviour. I think he sees Paulie's gift and then praises it because it lines up with his (Tony's) decision not to kill him. On another day, Paulie would've been dead. And Tony would've acted like he was 100% correct in killing him, too.

@@defragsbin I think you're right. and his statement in this episode to Beansie, who seems confused as to why Tony's attention is turning to Paulie now, that he's simply "waiting for the other shoe to drop" and expecting the worst... this may be a great insight into Tony's psychology. he simply feels it's "time" for someone to disappoint him and for him to kill them in return, as if he expects to kill someone towards the end of each season, just like the audience. and this perfectly foreshadows Christopher's fate without even referring to him directly.

@@miracle_grrrl_mira I agree. Tony's always got a person that's his 'biggest problem' at any given moment -- sometimes it's a logical choice (Richie), sometimes it's a mixed bag (Ralphie -- Tony was right in many ways, but clipped a made guy in a moment of rage), and other times he's just irrationally mad about something (Paulie's general personality and loose lips). When someone is at the forefront of Tony's mind, most other problems are backgrounded. Yeah, Paulie messed up by getting played by Johnny Sack, but Tony had nothing more than suspicions at this point. If anything, the only concrete thing Tony could say against Paulie was he didn't kick up the full amount and he was loose-lipped at times. I think Tony mainly wanted to clip Paulie because at that moment in time, he couldn't bear to be around him. The Florida trip makes this clear in teeth-grinding detail. He hates the history, the fact he used to look up to him and the connection with his father. I think this also plays into the narrative of the last couple of seasons -- Tony has become irredeemable at this point. For the first 3-4 seasons, there is some humanity there. We see the pressure he's under, and we can identify with _some_ of his choices. However, since he stays on the same path, therapy ultimately teaches him to be a more effective mobster. It doesn't improve him as a person because he's unwilling to do the work. By season 6, he's so far gone that he's ready kill one of his oldest friends/associates on a gut-level whim, and it's not really surprising behaviour by this point. Tony is dead as a person long before Made in America cuts to black.

@@defragsbinwell it’s not like Paulie was lucky, Tony was looking for any excuse to fight Paulie, kinda similar with Ralphie, but Paulie didn’t give him one. Smart AF, perhaps the only time where he wasn’t a hot head.

Lmao...

He used the same exact line when Tony was convinced Paulie ratted to the feds.

His crew grew thin to the point besides Tony himself, there's only Paulie alive at the series finale. And he got away because of his liar and incompetence skills.

@Fundamentally Unorthodox You could say that the ruin that comes from breaking the rules consistently is the enforcement mechanism.

He knew Paulie told Johnny,and that he did it behind his back. If he can shit stir about that,then what else would be be capable of saying,and to who. That's a slippery slope my friend.

I think it makes sense. Paul he's one of those guys that just is too stupid to get himself killed he's like Popeye walking while he's asleep through a construction site and never falling off the girders.

Me

Very tense scene. I agree, but besides Paulie talking too much, he was always loyal to Tony and the big guy looked at him as a father figure at some aspects. I knew before Tony even throw the bottle that he wasn't going to do it. Like I pointed out in another comment, if you look at Tony's facial expression at 2:50, and the fact that he slaps the pillar, he just looks like he's thinking "God Dammit, I can't do this. Love the guy too much". And ironically, when the series was all over, Paulie could be looked at as the last man standing.

bigb860 He wasn't always loyal to Tony. Whenever he was upset, like a little child he would always go running to Johnny Sack and air out his families dirty laundry, and tell him Tony's business which in return gave nothing but loss of income, and tensions between the families that ended up in people getting severely beaten. When Paulie confronted Carmine believing Johnny's lies that Carmine liked him, spoke about him, and asked about him, and Carmine looked at him like he had 2 heads asking who he was, it was a gut shot to Paulie because at that critical moment Paulie knew Johnny was full of shit, and simply using him for information. Than he starts bashing Johnny around Tony. etc. Again, I was very surprised he wasn't clipped. But the irony is, at the End, Paulie would have been in charge of the family.

bigb860 you said it dude, I totally agree, down to the part about Tony's facial expression at 2.50. :)

Jamison Pinard In all honesty, Paulie couldn't run a family to save his life. New York would have used him like a puppet just to make money.

Haha, the only reason I brought up him running the family is because tony is dead, Silvio was in a coma, christopher was 6 feet under and there was no one left...
