Yeah but did u tell the cop that you were speeding cause some1 offered u alcohol and you politely declined but where afraid they would cap you. You did first part maybe you forgot this.
I love how Paulie subtly pats Ralphie down when they hug. Also, notice how Tony sets up the whole meeting as a power move. Eating alone in a fancy restaurant.
Eating alone with witnesses so Ralphie knows that there are two Tony loyalists watching him prostrate himself to save himself. Makes sure Ralphie knows that their conversation isn't just about the two of them, but about the story it's going to be among the crews.
You gotta love that Paulie and Chris, two of the most hilarious characters on the show who are constantly at odds with one another, almost transform here into two nameless henchmen with no personality, no purpose, no meaning except to guard Tony. Menacing and terrifying. No jokes, no words, just cold stares.
Such a great scene. They weren't Paulie n Chrissy and one of the guys. Instead of the usual banter and them sitting and eating together this scene really showcased power structure. The boss dined alone at his table under the watchful eye of 2 of his most trusted captains guarding him. Incredible writing and directing and imagery
Such a great, introspective comment. Each observation is thoughtful, articulate, and builds on the insight that came before it. The algorithm will occasionally suggest this scene to me and when I watch it, I always make a point to come and read over your remark. Thank you.
It's all an act. Sociopaths like Ralph are incapable of feeling anything resemble humbleness. Notice how the entire time he was blaming everything on doing coke?
Nazeem being humbled is not an emotion. He wasn’t sorry for any of it, and Tony knew he wasn’t. They both knew Ralph was doing it because he had to, and Tony basically told him to get the fuck out of the restaurant in the most indirect way possible. He WAS humbled because there was absolutely nothing he could do besides apologize and get the fuck out, regardless of his personal opinion on who was right.
He looked like that because he was under the impression that Tony was going to apologize to him as well. That's what Johnny Sack had told him when he brokered this meeting. He quickly realized that it wasn't going to happen the way he was told.
Ralph really would have taken Tony out and Tony knew it. Ralph was a TOP earner and extremely valuable asset and T never should have passed him over for Gigi.
I think it's a legitimate question. The apology is insincere because he is apologizing without saying what he did. It's an empty apology. Tony is making Ralph say specifically what he did.
Let me tell you. I have relatives who would have killed Richie right there for refusing a drink. My father started a horrific fight with a wedding party across the hall from My Grandparents anniversary party. The people from the wedding party went ahead and we're allowed a round of drinks my father. They did not salute him for the free drinks. He took a bottle of beer hit one guy over the head and then proceeded to stab the another one in the abdomen. No my father did not go to jail.
The most powerful thing here - Ralph walks away with no comment from Tony. Ralph doesn't know if Tony has accepted his apology, or if he is going to be whacked an hour later.
Mentally torturing and then beating to death the girl is the last on his list...behind disrespecting the Bing and being rude. Yeah, Ralphie was a real saint.
@@joeylawn36111 Not for coke they all do it. If it was Heroin he would because you see a lot more heroin addicts living in alleys than you do coke heads. Every club in NYC has cocaine all over it.
No joke at one of my first jobs in high school a guy who had gotten fired earlier in the month came back to beg for his job back and started with, “I’ve been sober for 72 hours!”
slide4180 wow awesome description. You can almost HEAR the terse words between the two of them. You can see the facial expressions, the lighting of the room. Really masterful. The only thing missing is feel.
Strategically Tony thinks it's a genius power move. But it's dumb as fuck He's creating tension in his crews and humiliating his biggest earner. It's really stupid to needlessly bring trouble in like that
Tony always stabs his food with his fork so aggressively when he's eating that sometimes i think the food is still alive and he's killing it there on the plate!
He's doing it to elongate the time between eating during the shooting. he mentioned that in one interview I believe. something about the food being cold and usually tasting terrible. so he just would stab away at the food to elongate the time between each bite.
It always gives the impression that he's pissed, trying to passively burn off aggression, thinking angry thoughts. Which is perfectly realistic for his character.
+R. David When my elder sister turned 18 she inherited £40,000. In a couple of years it was all gone. "I....was doing A LOT of coke at the time...I'm off it now" was pretty much what she said to my parents.
R. David she had a lot of hangers on; friends and fake friends that would do a lot of coke with her. And also she spent a lot of money on gaudy designer bullshit that young women like, but yeah it was mostly coke.
This is a great scene! You can just feel the tension. Tony is brilliant here by not recognizing Ralph's presence; "for what?"; "anything else?" all made Ralph very uncomfortable. Chris & Paulie standing guard is icing on the cake.
Tony asks those questions because Ralph is not admitting anything wrong with what he did, it's pure deflection, *HE* is not the problem, the problem was the coke that made him do it! Whenever someone does that (deflect into something else rather than take responsibility) then that means they are not sorry for anything and did not learn any lessons, because it wasn't their fault in their mind.
2 things this scene captures very well: 1. The anguish of apologizing to someone for something you know can't be forgiven. 2. The tragedy of being apologized to by someone you can't forgive.
1. the thing is ALL the guys do not think the thing with Tracy was a big deal, Ralph certainly did not care, the anguish Ralph feels is that he must apologize for something he should not, in their world hitting a made guy is ten times more worse than killing a whore. 2. It is not abut forgiveness for Tony, Tony does not forgive Ralph, ( he even kills Ralph later because of Tracy). Tony wants to remain in power and he wants money, that's why he initially let Ralph in peace but later he killed him.
You couldnt put it better some times people in our groups disrespect us in ways that others wouldnt only because they know they can get away with it!But a quick reality check is all that is needed!
How are so many clips of this show so classic? Seems like almost every single scene can be rewatched and appreciated by itself.... Can't say that about any other show imo.
"Sometimes I leave the seat up in the bathroom. My shoelaces aren't always tied. I often forget to recycle. And the thing with the girl outside with the blood and the screaming and the brainmatter getting on my knuckles, that wasn't good either come to think of it."
"In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max's toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog... when my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out! ...but the worst thing I ever done: I mixed up all this fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. And I never felt so bad in my entire life!"
Based on Grant disrespecting Lee when the South surrendered at the end of the Civil War. David Chase based the scene at the time he was reading a book about that war. So awesome!
There are two types of people in the world. Those whove seen the sopranos all the way through And those whove seen all the clips on youtube There is no middle ground
I’m both. I’ve watched the Soprano’s all the way through at least twice and have rewatched various seasons multiple times. Oh, and I watch the clips on TH-cam too.
The scene where Ralph passed on the drink and the subsequent scenes with Tony and Ralph until Ralph’s ultimate demise, are some of the best insights into the mind of Tony Soprano. He lets Ralph disrespect him the first time, and then Tony systematically dismantles Ralph until the last seen where he dismantled his face and then his life
I was so glad when that piece of shit had to apologize to Tony. What a damn good character. Tony did everything right in this scene in my opinion. Ralph deserved this. Paulie and Christopher standing in the background of course made it that much more great. Even down to the type of suit Paulie wore. I loved every second of this scene.
@@MRIDDLE72 He's not, really, certainly not compared to Ralph, or some of these other guys. When did you ever see Tony lay hands on a defenseless girl or woman, let alone beat her to death? The vast majority of people Tony hurt, or killed, deserved it. I'll make one and only one exception to this general rule, and that's the way he used to beat up on poor Georgie, which I grant you was disgusting as fuck. If you can come up with any more, beyond George, I'll hear you out, but I seriously doubt you can. Ask yourself if Ralph, or any of these other guys, fuck, most ordinary people, would give Junior a second chance after the shit that old asshole pulled.
@Hyper jones Never said he was a good guy, I'm comparing him to other mobsters. I don't remember him slapping Gloria but if he did, she deserved it. And I'm not sure but I think you're lying about him hitting other women. Got any names? Yeah, that's what I thought. And I said MOST of the people he killed or had killed were scumbags. Hey, guess what? That includes Christopher, maybe first and foremost.
Now THAT's being a boss: showed his superiority, didn't let the guy sit down, didn't engage in conversation, didn't scold, lecture or raise his voice, he let the guy humble himself and then did not even indicate acceptance of the apology
Yeah Tony was a great boss, that’s why he was so loved and respected by his underlings and feared by his enemies lol Tony handles Ralph terribly from start to finish including at the end when he lost his temper and could have just as easily ended up dead there and then. He alienated or betrayed everyone except Silvio and was probably ratted out by his own side to end up murdered in front of his own family he had almost also alienated and ruined. Tony even had people who actively disliked Ralph questioning Tony’s handling of it all
That is the only scene where Paulie greets him with a hug or anything like that. When I first saw it I thought they are being “professional” cause it’s a sit down, but I think you’re def right on the money.
When tony asked “anything else”, he should have said “what can I do to make things right” or kick up a larger cut of whatever he’s making. Talk is cheap
Except according to the rules of LCN, it was Tony and not Ralph who was in the wrong here. That's the whole point of being a "made guy": you can do whatever you want to anyone else as long as your victim isn't LCN or connected with LCN. Ralph was a made guy and Tracee wasn't.
@@madeconomist458 I disagree, Ralph killed someone right outside a building where the boss was, without permission, making everyone there that night at the party, an accessory to murder. Ralph broke a golden rule first, and in all reality if Tony stayed calm and just left without saying anything, Ralph could've been killed the same night as Tracee, and in the same fashion. This murder proves that Ralph is a major liability to the entire family, but the only reason he wasn't killed, was because of how important he was to the esplanade, and the money he made for the N.Y. family. Being made isn't a license to kill, it's a license to steal, because only the boss has the license to kill. The reason everyone sees it Ralph's way, is because the creator wanted ppl to see these guys as monsters, and also because Tony reacted in the moment, instead of removing himself to decide Ralph's fate.
Tony was a petulant child in this scene. Not saying he didn't have the right to be upset, but behavior like this is why Jersey didn't get the respect from New York.
Love this scene, in a restaurant that seems closed just for Tony to eat. He has 2 goons Paulie And Christopher standing sentry as they let and watch Ralphie cower down to Tony and apologize. Tony really had nothing but disdain for Ralphie as he listed all the things he messed up with. Tony was so cold and apathetic to his apology.
The best scene between Tony and Ralphie is definitely in “Whoever Did This” that battle between them is my favorite scene. This scene is great too just because how Tony wields his power over Ralphie. “What did you do?” Is classic! 😊
Tony's whole attitude is spit on with the mood of the scene, doesn't even act like anything is wrong & ultimately doesn't except he wanted to hear those words, I'm sorry. Anything else he says as he keeps on eating, priceless.
Tony had an emotionally fragile ego, telling John later that he was being unreasonable yet he himself was being unreasonable here. At the end of the day, you don't need to like your subordinates but if they bring you the biggest and fattest envelop with cash that is more important but Tony was a man child. Jackie Aprile would have seen the bigger picture and wouldn't have let his relationship with Ralph to sour over this, he would just have taxed him good instead which is what Tony should have done as the Boss of the family.
The whole set up is to make him as uncomfortable as possible. Tony Eating alone (which never happens ) at a very small table. Not looking at him until he addresses tony. Pretending not to know why he is there. Not offering him a seat specifically asking him to list all his transgressions specifically. All this to remind him who is the Boss and that if Tony allows any familiarity in any other circumstance it is wholly Tony's choice for associates he respects. Tony wanted Ralphie to walk out not knowing where he stands and how he was to be punished.
Tony's mistake his his typical mafia mentality. He puts the boot on Ralphie's neck and keeps it there even after he submits. A wiser boss uses the carrot as well as the stick. He first subjugates but then he shows generosity and welcomes the vanquished back into the fold.
Just realized in that scene after so many years that Paulie and Christopher actually frisked Ralphie before he met the boss. Even the position they both had at the entry was straight out a Don Corleone move!
Gandofini refused having a stuntman eat the pasta in this scene.
That’s a good one 👍🏽

It really highlights what a terrible leader Tony was but how great he coulda been. He was smart, but didn't know how to use that

In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and I blamed it on the dog... when my mom sent me to the summer camp for fat kids and then they served lunch I got nuts and I pigged out and they kicked me out!
...but the worst thing I ever done: I mixed up all this fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: hua-hua-hua-huaaaaaaa - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. And I never felt so bad in my entire life!"
I think we all know which scene is really the best between these two.
@Cobb Knobbler gabbagool??
Yeah, it's this scene, right?
True. The best scene has eggs and Raid bug spray
I did NOT! But SO what?!
One thing you cannot do is blame yourself...
9:30pm Gotta be up at 5am tomorrow for work. One more clip and I am going to bed. 4 hours later I am still awake.
"Tone, I was gonna get you a jackeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet."
Based on Grant disrespecting Lee when the South surrendered at the end of the Civil War. David Chase based the scene at the time he was reading a book about that war. So awesome!
I think I finally understand how my dog feels when I eat..........
There are two types of people in the world.
Those whove seen the sopranos all the way through
And those whove seen all the clips on youtube
There is no middle ground
Yes, get the Blu Ray box set.
@Grueso c Don't do it. You'll start acting like a Hollywood mobster. Accent and all. Too much. Stick to clips.
I've seen half the show and all the clips
If I book a week off work, would I be able to watch the Sopranos complete series in time ?
I’m both. I’ve watched the Soprano’s all the way through at least twice and have rewatched various seasons multiple times. Oh, and I watch the clips on TH-cam too.
Tony: "Anything else?"....Ownage
I think the fat fuck was talking about his meal.
Lemonhead86 FK YOU, TONY SOPRANO 4LIFE
The scene where Ralph passed on the drink and the subsequent scenes with Tony and Ralph until Ralph’s ultimate demise, are some of the best insights into the mind of Tony Soprano. He lets Ralph disrespect him the first time, and then Tony systematically dismantles Ralph until the last seen where he dismantled his face and then his life
What? He made Ralph captain shortly after that.
Very allegorical
wtf are you talking about?
@@TyFhoonBoom right, nonsense, he does not understands the show.
"seen"?
Wish Ralphie was in the show more, every scene between him and Tony is gold
Classic! What great acting by both of them. Man, I miss this show.
Walks up to the table where tony is eating and clears his throat to be noticed lol wow
he is prideful
With Chris and Paulie looking on.
I was so glad when that piece of shit had to apologize to Tony. What a damn good character. Tony did everything right in this scene in my opinion. Ralph deserved this. Paulie and Christopher standing in the background of course made it that much more great. Even down to the type of suit Paulie wore. I loved every second of this scene.
Michael Reed yea Tony is an angel
@@MRIDDLE72 Who said he was an angel, or remotely like one.
Second Coming Of Bast the guy is calling Ralph a POS, like Tony is not or something.
@@MRIDDLE72 He's not, really, certainly not compared to Ralph, or some of these other guys. When did you ever see Tony lay hands on a defenseless girl or woman, let alone beat her to death? The vast majority of people Tony hurt, or killed, deserved it.
I'll make one and only one exception to this general rule, and that's the way he used to beat up on poor Georgie, which I grant you was disgusting as fuck. If you can come up with any more, beyond George, I'll hear you out, but I seriously doubt you can.
Ask yourself if Ralph, or any of these other guys, fuck, most ordinary people, would give Junior a second chance after the shit that old asshole pulled.
@Hyper jones Never said he was a good guy, I'm comparing him to other mobsters. I don't remember him slapping Gloria but if he did, she deserved it. And I'm not sure but I think you're lying about him hitting other women. Got any names? Yeah, that's what I thought. And I said MOST of the people he killed or had killed were scumbags. Hey, guess what? That includes Christopher, maybe first and foremost.
Now THAT's being a boss: showed his superiority, didn't let the guy sit down, didn't engage in conversation, didn't scold, lecture or raise his voice, he let the guy humble himself and then did not even indicate acceptance of the apology
Yeah Tony was a great boss, that’s why he was so loved and respected by his underlings and feared by his enemies lol Tony handles Ralph terribly from start to finish including at the end when he lost his temper and could have just as easily ended up dead there and then. He alienated or betrayed everyone except Silvio and was probably ratted out by his own side to end up murdered in front of his own family he had almost also alienated and ruined. Tony even had people who actively disliked Ralph questioning Tony’s handling of it all
@@wephilips6651 agreed. Tony and his insecurities got everyone killed
I love how they set this up to make it look like Ralph was possibly going to get whacked.
If Ralphie hadn't been such an earner he would have been gone looooooong before this.
Tonys fork and plate work was the star of the show
It's very subtle, but the way Paulie touched Ralphie while hugging him was actually checking if he was carrying a gun...
Yes. Paulie can't stand ralph.
@@brandonfromkc2815 I am on Ralphs side. Paulie is a psycho
That is the only scene where Paulie greets him with a hug or anything like that. When I first saw it I thought they are being “professional” cause it’s a sit down, but I think you’re def right on the money.
When tony asked “anything else”, he should have said “what can I do to make things right” or kick up a larger cut of whatever he’s making. Talk is cheap
Except according to the rules of LCN, it was Tony and not Ralph who was in the wrong here. That's the whole point of being a "made guy": you can do whatever you want to anyone else as long as your victim isn't LCN or connected with LCN.
Ralph was a made guy and Tracee wasn't.
@@madeconomist458 I disagree, Ralph killed someone right outside a building where the boss was, without permission, making everyone there that night at the party, an accessory to murder. Ralph broke a golden rule first, and in all reality if Tony stayed calm and just left without saying anything, Ralph could've been killed the same night as Tracee, and in the same fashion. This murder proves that Ralph is a major liability to the entire family, but the only reason he wasn't killed, was because of how important he was to the esplanade, and the money he made for the N.Y. family. Being made isn't a license to kill, it's a license to steal, because only the boss has the license to kill. The reason everyone sees it Ralph's way, is because the creator wanted ppl to see these guys as monsters, and also because Tony reacted in the moment, instead of removing himself to decide Ralph's fate.
EXACTLY Ryan
Tony says "I accept your apology; now go home and get your shinebox. "
Tony was a full blown godfather in this scene.
Tony was a petulant child in this scene. Not saying he didn't have the right to be upset, but behavior like this is why Jersey didn't get the respect from New York.
@@ElGranSanto absolutely
This scene makes my pine for a plate of pasta and some crusty bread.
My heart aches for Ralph in this scene. I mean, the poor guy was doing A LOT of coke.
It’s moments like this you realize why Paulie was kept close for so long. When it came down to soldiering he had gravitas
Ralph: Can I sit?
Tony: No.
Ralph: I’m sorry. Am I forgiven?
Tony: no.
Love this scene, in a restaurant that seems closed just for Tony to eat. He has 2 goons Paulie And Christopher standing sentry as they let and watch Ralphie cower down to Tony and apologize. Tony really had nothing but disdain for Ralphie as he listed all the things he messed up with. Tony was so cold and apathetic to his apology.
The best scene between Tony and Ralphie is definitely in “Whoever Did This” that battle between them is my favorite scene. This scene is great too just because how Tony wields his power over Ralphie. “What did you do?” Is classic! 😊
"what did you do"?.......the sarcasm in that line is tremendous
Tony's whole attitude is spit on with the mood of the scene, doesn't even act like anything is wrong & ultimately doesn't except he wanted to hear those words, I'm sorry. Anything else he says as he keeps on eating, priceless.
Notice the subtle pat down they give Ralphie before letting him walk to Tony.
RIP Gandolfini. Truly one of the greatest there's ever been.
To bad he couldnt get his weight under control. He was one of the best
Tony had an emotionally fragile ego, telling John later that he was being unreasonable yet he himself was being unreasonable here. At the end of the day, you don't need to like your subordinates but if they bring you the biggest and fattest envelop with cash that is more important but Tony was a man child. Jackie Aprile would have seen the bigger picture and wouldn't have let his relationship with Ralph to sour over this, he would just have taxed him good instead which is what Tony should have done as the Boss of the family.
Dude you are a total fucking piece of shit if you really think like this.
That is what Carmine would have done jakep. Personal feelings aside and get earning. That is why Carmine was the big boss, the Don.
He's got a point. No emotions, just tax. Tony was a big friggin baby. If you couldn't see that then....
Spot on, Tony was a big emotional baby about everything. Thats why Carmines crew always had the upper hand on them
Andrew Pires that's the life of underworld that's how most of them think so do you think Tony was right?
I really like Ralph's white turtle neck over here. And also Tony's jacket too. Great wardrobe and costumes on this show.
I was admiring them too
A brilliant scene. Tony reduced him to a pea in front of Paulie and Chris, the same way Ralph embarrassed him with "Another time Anthony."...
He should've told a Ginny Sack joke to ease the tension.
Absolutely great writing. Ralph entering and Tony munching in pasta forever. Dream role for Gandolfini indeed.
James Gandofini insisted they keep shooting until the pasta supply was EXAUSTED.
Jesus, the acting is so good it makes me feel like i'm there listening in on a real conversation.
Greatest scene is the fighting scene imo.
It's funny how as they talk James proceeds too stab at the plate more aggressively.
Tony's facial expressions and his eyes are so compelling. The man plays ruthless Mob boss to a tee!!
The best series of all time. Remember Sunday nights and having friends over for drinks and watching a new episode?
I'm so jealous of that, I got the full box set for my 16th birthday never got to watch it as it was airing on TV.
Why have friends over? Best watched alone so you can devote your full attention to it.
Such great acting, I could actually feel the pressure and tension, I just wanted it to end
In the end it wasn't murdering a pregnant 20 year old that got Tony to clip Ralphie...it was killing a damn horse. Always priorities with these guys.
A horse is a fine, noble animal. The girl was just a hooer.
Paulie so subtle with the pat down
That fork was great. Wish they did more with it.
The whole set up is to make him as uncomfortable as possible. Tony Eating alone (which never happens ) at a very small table. Not looking at him until he addresses tony. Pretending not to know why he is there. Not offering him a seat specifically asking him to list all his transgressions specifically. All this to remind him who is the Boss and that if Tony allows any familiarity in any other circumstance it is wholly Tony's choice for associates he respects. Tony wanted Ralphie to walk out not knowing where he stands and how he was to be punished.
Ralph: I was doing a lot of coke
Tony: I was doin a lot of pasta!
The best scene between Tony and Ralph was Tony murdering Ralph.
is that really murder... or revenge?
We don't really know who killed Ralph. Tony just came over to cook his own hand and spray Raid in his eyes and found Ralph like that. It's a mystery.
The restaurant was full until Artie started talking to the customers.
Among a variety of acting skills, actors are trained to make food look mouth wateringly delicious as Gandolfini does in this scene.
Tony's mistake his his typical mafia mentality. He puts the boot on Ralphie's neck and keeps it there even after he submits. A wiser boss uses the carrot as well as the stick. He first subjugates but then he shows generosity and welcomes the vanquished back into the fold.
well-said.
I was doing a lot of Shineboxing, I said some things and I did some things.
Ralph disrespected the Bing 1:38 but then again "Tony never had the makings of a varsity athelete"
"I disrespected the Bing...and the girl" - you don't say Ralphie
Just realized in that scene after so many years that Paulie and Christopher actually frisked Ralphie before he met the boss. Even the position they both had at the entry was straight out a Don Corleone move!
