@Михайло Андорка Yeah the last season was a sort of "fuck you" to his father. He never really admitted to himself or Melfi that he had resentment for his father.
He flipped because the witter want to finish the script and direktor said to not spend so much money because it is no santa barbara. And they stop the soprano with black screen. They could make more serial but they did not....
I had an italian boss, within a year and a half he just became more of a dick to his workers and me, one day he went too far and we almost threw hands and I left despite being the only guy who was allowed to drive the company truck to and from the jobsites.
Tony is a great study in mismanagement. He was a naturally charismatic guy who people wanted to follow. Guys like Junior who want to be boss but don’t have Tony’s innate charisma are jealous of it, which in part fueled Junior’s first attempt on Tony’s life and constant antagonizing of T. Tony was self loathing and selfish though, which eventually caused him to squander the good will he had with his guys. His initial decisions to protect Tony B and Vito while putting the rest of the guys at risk because he didn’t want to swallow his pride with New York caused his men to doubt him. His increasingly self-indulgent behavior and outbursts like the one directed at Carlo at 4:58 cost him their trust and loyalty. Not saying that alone made Carlo flip, but it probably made the decision a whole lot easier for Carlo. That said, they’re all self-serving sociopaths who will do whatever it takes to save their own ass, so....
spot on. i was comparing him to al swearengen in deadwood.difference it seems to me is tony and as the series progresses you realise carmela then the whole damn thing is beneath it all totally selfish.loyalty is rewarded as we see here with abuse and its all about tony. al psychopath that he is eqaully abuses his henchmen but only he is allowed to do it. you get the feeling that vwith him the job is about control not money.so als staff would die for him as they know he will protect his own he kills to protect the organization he set up not for personal gain. tony ultimatly is for tony everyone hates ralph a underboss wants him dead but hes too big an earner so tony protects him until in a fit of rage he kills him.then we see how tony has basically pissed on all the rules because it suits himself but still expects loyalty from those below who now know if push comes to shove tony is more likely to kill them than a rival family.in the end he creates his own doom hes so erratic as boss that its safer to flip and most of his bosses take that choice.when you think about it its also the logical choice.those who stayed loyal fare no better silv abadoned in hospital paulie nearly whacked for being a bore and left facing death or arrest as new capo of the doomed crew chris and tony dead by tony hesh like a father to him reviled and made just another victim.tony wanted loyalty but gave none his biggest fault.
Whoever played Carlo did a great job at showing how disillusioned Carlo was with Tony as boss. His expression at 5:06 when tony yells at him is just fantastic
Carlo also killed Fat Dom over Vito jokes... Tony was probably more mad that his crew was so thin he had to leave bozos in charge. His own fault of course, but Carlo deserved a lot worse.
A lot of mafia guys turned beginning in the nineteen seventies. The mafia became paranoid and in return they started whacking their own innocent guys. Carlo didn't do anything wrong. I still feel Tony shouldn't have been the don.
This also needs the clip from the finale, where Tony is in the safe house with the rest of the crew, and he makes up an excuse for why he can't visit Sil in the hospital. After he's left the room, Benny points out that he keeps making up excuses, and Carlo just shakes his head disgustedly.
Between his cousin Burt trading sides and going with New York to try and whack Tony and then getting killed by Sil, to Tony's comments to him about his lacklustre earnings compared to Vito, to his son getting arrested for drugs...he had a lot of reasons to flip. Plus with the war with New York the Jersey Crew was much weakened. He also was never really in Tony's inner circle despite being a Captain. He had a lot of reasons to flip.
@Davian Herrera Paulie and Patsy. But Carlo flipping? All that but even if he loved Tony, a guy will take a bullet for his son. Feds threaten the son with 10 years and the Carlo/Tony relationship doesntg matter imo. Carlo did what dads do.
Love Tony's little immature, impatient temper tantrums. This one with the ketchup bottle always stood out to me for some reasons. Tone acts how we all wish we could act; and that's one of the reasons the audience can't help but love this despicable character. Also: Gandolfni's immense talent and charisma.
Tbf, the lawyer slapping the bottle a million times was synod annoying. Just stick a knife in to pull out some ketchup. Lawyer would’ve probably pounded the bottle another 10,000 times while tellling Tony how he’s probably going to prison for the rest of his life.
@@peterp2153 Exactly, Can you imagine sitting with a doctor while he's telling you you probably only have six months to live, and he's sitting there smacking the bottom of a ketchup bottle 50 times like the only thing that really matters is getting a teaspoon of ketchup out? You'd probably grab it and throw it across the room just to get him to stop.
Man is literally looking at the rest of his life in the pen with a jackass pounding a ketchup bottle centimeters from his face. I think this one can be forgiven.
Paulie's ring-tone. Cecilia by Simon & Garfunkel (1970 -- right in Paulie's heyday). Wikipedia says: "Simon later wrote the song's guitar line and lyrics on the subject of an untrustworthy lover." So a sing of betrayal, in about three bars of an old song. This show does not miss a beat, ever.
Tony made the mistake of showing too many times that he only cared about himself and his bottom line at the end... New York kept more or less united, even if they eventually sacrificed Phil... but that was only because he was too much like Tony...
Since we only got to see DiMeo and Lupertazzi fams its easy to forget that there are 4 others families around, much more powerful than them, who probably are not happy with that war. Only the Comission can sanction a hit on a boss. The Comission certainly gave the council for Butchie to whack Tony and Phil because they were trouble makers. And Tony was about to get indicted by one of his capos testimony.
That final scene could have been picked up in this movie coming out. Just need everyone reassembled and a stand in for Tony. Shot rings out from behind, Tony slumps over the table, Furio standing there with a smoking gun in his hand...you gotta bee ona your onion ring..
Furio was probably killed by Zippos in Italy by that point, no it was Patsy who shot and killed Tony in the final episode. He got skimmed for promotion so instead he decided to become the new boss of the leftovers after the war.
Obviously. Even with Tony still in charge, Sil's in a Coma, Chris is dead, Bobby's dead, no telling where Paulie is. That just leaves a few Capos and lower level guys. Tony decimated his own house then NY finished it off.
It's crazy how in the diner each little corner is something that represents Tony. The American Dream, the Grandpa/dad with the little leaguers (The Dad Tony wasn't able to be), the fresh young couple dating and falling in love. Pure innocence. The Carm says Meadow had to change her Birth Control (was Meadow pregnant and going to tell Tony that night). As he is surrounded by all things Tony wanted, the past was always gonna sneak up on him..... Chase likes to say that Don't Stop Believing was used because the production team hated it, however I think it was used because that's all Tony tried to do. He wanted to believe there was a better side of himself. He wanted to believe that the future wasn't written in stone, and for a brief moment it wasn't. Until the past came from behind.
The ending was perfect. It closed with interpretation instead of fact. The people who wanted tony dead can interpret the scene as he was killed. The ones who wanted prison for tony could also interpret that and the ones that wanted tony to keep on going can say we never actually saw him get killed or go to prison.
@@MPal24 Chase did initially say that he wanted to keep it open ended. However, in a later interview he commented that from his point of view, Tony was in fact killed.
@@Ror0009 in actual fact its largely irrelevant if tony dies here.if you think back to series one as aj reminds us we have the family eating in peace and security after the power outtage at arties restaurant with silv and paulie looking on.remember times like this tony says.now thanks to events over the years tony has lost everything all he has left is prison or being whacked his friends except paulie are all dead his crew in tatters he has driven confidantes hesh and artie away killed his two closest relatives tony b and christopher and all that looked to us so bright and hopeful in series one where we liked and kind of envied him much like melfi who has also rejected him.the inference i get from the scene is if its not tonight it will be some night if the feds dont get him first.he is a far cry from his confident master of the world at the beginning liked respected going places even with his panic attacks it was always going to end this way tony by the end drove everyone away.
What I love about the show is that they demonstrate why Paulie despite his advanced years in comparison to the others hasn’t risen far in the organisation. He constantly misreads situations, he only considered the possibility that Carlo had flipped when Tony alerted him to it. But there have been several other occasions. E.G Getting played by Johnny Sack for information and his whole disinterested demeanour when Tony took him to Italy.
That's honestly what I loved the most about Paulie it really seemed like the guy never grew up and while in real life that can be problematic on TV it makes for great comedy😂
The irony is that Paulie was one of the very few that survived when much smarter people died. (Yes I know it's a character and its plot armour), but if that isn't art imitating life then I don't know what is! How many times have we seen in real-life that the smart people die but the complete fuckwits survive like cockroaches?
Nah; Not it at all! Paulie just played dumb; He survived longer than everyone else becuase he played "just smart enough"; "Cladius effect"...In the emd, Paulie looked out for #1. Himself! Christopher was his last apprentice; After his death, Paulie was done. He might (or not have) known about the hit on Tony; He tried to warn him regardless, and split after reluctantly taking a promotion...Paulie wasn't coming back; He had been building a retirement fund for years...Chase had been building his "quiet escape", the entire series...
It’s up to the audience to choose but what David Chase is telling everyone is that there are only 2 possible outcomes for Tony. One, Carlo flipped and he’s ratting everyone out, including Tony, two, Tony dies in the last scene in the restaurant. So, either way you cut it, Tony either rots in prison or dies in a restaurant in front of his family!
Always liked the irony of tony wanted aj to be more like carl's kids and then fonding out they were arrested for selling H. And what i love even better is that, like all of the decisions on his life and everythong that surrounds him, he never got that irony.
To answer the question Borko posed; In my opinion yes. Tony was slowly alienating everyone around, to the point where he was willing to kill anyone for so much as a suspicion. You see this with Paulie in Miami in regards to the Ginny Weight Joke, and how Tony was that close to killing him. Tony getting into and losing scuffle with Bobby because he is deliberately antagonizing him, and crying about it later like the petulant bully he is. Key things that point to the kind of man Carlo is we see when he pushes blame on Silvio for Dom's death, his approval of Phil's execution of Vito, Carlo could also have been disillusioned with Tony's gossiping and lastly the feds closing in on him because of his son. Simply put Carlo was out for his family's best interests and not the DiMeo family.
How Paulie is looking at the platform in fear of the Virgin Mary appearing again… the Show and the acting seems to get better every time I watch that show again.
1:05-1:57 during the ketchup scene, "The Jam" by Graham Central Station playing in the background. Because Carlo flipping puts Tony in a jam. This show never misses a beat...literally!
As Frank Lopez once said: the men who last in this business are the ones who lay low and fly straight. The ones that want it all never last. Tony Soprano def made that Scarface transition from season 1 to 6.
How many mobsters actually retire? Very few. People may have feared Tony was facing some very serious charges, they didn't want to take a chance of him flipping. Which led to the restaurant scene.
Considering how incredibly selfish and paranoid he became near the end of the show, with no doubt he was definitely going to flip. At that point he was a huge liability and NY knew that.
Tony has resentment towards Carlo. Carlo was the main Captain pushing Tony to kill Vito. Carlo actually suggested to Tony’s face, that Tony’s all talk when Phil killed Vito. Carlo didn’t respect Tony, and Tony resented him subconsciously because of it. Carlo probably wasn’t bring in as much money in construction as Vito, because Carlo might have been holding out part of his kick to Tony. And Carlo’s Cousin Bert Gervasi switched sides during The Lupertazzi-Soprano War… Everything that happened is Tony’s fault. He should have supported Junior as Boss, not undermining him.
Carlo possessed neither the loyalty nor aptitude to be a Captain. He was exactly the type of embittered, forgettable guy that would flip at the first sign of trouble, and he was only given the responsibilities he was given because nearly everyone in the Aprile Crew was dead.
Listen to me everyone. In order to get the ketchup out of one of those glass Heinz bottles, you have to hit the little 57 on the side of the bottle where the neck starts to form, not the back of the bottle like Tony's lawyer does. If just one person sees this I will be happy. Enjoy your fries.
Don't know the truth of it, but I've read that Tony Sirico (who had been a bit of a wiseguy) made it clear that he didn't want Paulie to flip--there was a rumor that he had it in his contract, but it seems to have been unofficial rather than in writing. Since I read that, I've wondered if the guy who played Carlo (and who is an ex-cop) ever made it known that he would be fine with his character flipping.
I love how Carmela knows exactly what Meadow is going to the doctor for- and I love Tony’s reaction even more. At a surface level, he condemns any sort of pre-marital sex Meadow is having, while he is a cooz-hound himself. His reaction there, in the final episode... is just a summation of his character as a whole. Or it’s not. I don’t know.
Humble Wonder sometime between season 5 and 6 Meadow comes to Tony crying about problems with her boy Finn DeTrilo. Tony says, and I quote “...when you’re living in sin with someone...” which is a condemnation of Meadow’s sexual freedom at school. I can give you sources and possibly more examples if you need. My brain hurts and I love the sopranos.
I vividly remember Tony calling Carlo a cocksucer contributing to Carlo flipping but I completely forgot about that "Fuck that honor and loyal shit" dialogue from Tony. Glad I saw this video. Tony made it easy for Carlo to flip.
Carlo flipped and told the feds that Sil hit fat Dom first.

Since we only got to see DiMeo and Lupertazzi fams its easy to forget that there are 4 others families around, much more powerful than them, who probably are not happy with that war.
Only the Comission can sanction a hit on a boss. The Comission certainly gave the council for Butchie to whack Tony and Phil because they were trouble makers. And Tony was about to get indicted by one of his capos testimony.
Now all Carlo has time for is tv land.

That final scene could have been picked up in this movie coming out. Just need everyone reassembled and a stand in for Tony. Shot rings out from behind, Tony slumps over the table, Furio standing there with a smoking gun in his hand...you gotta bee ona your onion ring..
they could just use Gandolfini
Furio was probably killed by Zippos in Italy by that point, no it was Patsy who shot and killed Tony in the final episode.
He got skimmed for promotion so instead he decided to become the new boss of the leftovers after the war.
@@FelipeJaquezNobody would’ve touched Furio in Italy just because some fat Jersey mob boss threw a tantrum.

He got shot by a cop backing up a New Jersey sheriff though as part of a NYPD internal affairs corruption scandal, right?

This pretty much confirms that, if Tony didn't get shot point blank the finale, his entire empire came crashing down
Obviously. Even with Tony still in charge, Sil's in a Coma, Chris is dead, Bobby's dead, no telling where Paulie is. That just leaves a few Capos and lower level guys. Tony decimated his own house then NY finished it off.
@@Tkieron not to mention anyone that survives and Tony’s crew sil,Paulie and anyone that was around him would be indicted because of Carlos testimony
No way Tony would’ve lost the trial. He would’ve rebuilt with a whole new crew. You can’t keep a man like that down except via death. See Napoleon.
@@kingstarscream320 Napoleon was exiled and isolated on an island before he died.
@@joshuajarod1909 The point is he never stopped trying. He would’ve fled St Helena if the opportunity arose just as he did in Elba.
It's crazy how in the diner each little corner is something that represents Tony. The American Dream, the Grandpa/dad with the little leaguers (The Dad Tony wasn't able to be), the fresh young couple dating and falling in love. Pure innocence. The Carm says Meadow had to change her Birth Control (was Meadow pregnant and going to tell Tony that night). As he is surrounded by all things Tony wanted, the past was always gonna sneak up on him..... Chase likes to say that Don't Stop Believing was used because the production team hated it, however I think it was used because that's all Tony tried to do. He wanted to believe there was a better side of himself. He wanted to believe that the future wasn't written in stone, and for a brief moment it wasn't. Until the past came from behind.
It's the perfect ending to Tony's ark but you know who else had an ark, Noah!
The kids were Cub scouts not baseball players but good point about Meadow.
You oughta know sweetiee

@@jimmypistachio_casual so that’s it huh? No leeway, so compromise, just stupid jokes?
Tony's lawyer needs to watch deniro in goodfellas and see how to actually get the ketchup out
The ending was perfect. It closed with interpretation instead of fact. The people who wanted tony dead can interpret the scene as he was killed. The ones who wanted prison for tony could also interpret that and the ones that wanted tony to keep on going can say we never actually saw him get killed or go to prison.
Exactly❣💯
Except David Chase actually screwed up and called it Tony's death scene
@@MPal24
Chase did initially say that he wanted to keep it open ended. However, in a later interview he commented that from his point of view, Tony was in fact killed.
@@johnnyd8885 he actually didn’t
@@Ror0009 in actual fact its largely irrelevant if tony dies here.if you think back to series one as aj reminds us we have the family eating in peace and security after the power outtage at arties restaurant with silv and paulie looking on.remember times like this tony says.now thanks to events over the years tony has lost everything all he has left is prison or being whacked his friends except paulie are all dead his crew in tatters he has driven confidantes hesh and artie away killed his two closest relatives tony b and christopher and all that looked to us so bright and hopeful in series one where we liked and kind of envied him much like melfi who has also rejected him.the inference i get from the scene is if its not tonight it will be some night if the feds dont get him first.he is a far cry from his confident master of the world at the beginning liked respected going places even with his panic attacks it was always going to end this way tony by the end drove everyone away.
Loving the Meta cuts Borko- well done.
Thank you
I like the the last scene, it's like Carlo presenting his son and saying: Hi Ton, this is my son, Jason, the one I flipped you for.
“Itsh Carlo. He’sh gonna teshtify.”
Collo
That line about “maybe you should be suckin cawck” possibly top 10 insults in existencr
The way he said, “giving him his fuggin vig “ is hilarious 😂 💀
his FOKKHIN VIGGG
With a leader like Tony the crew had two choices: Flip or send Tony to slip-n-fall school.
Another great video, Borko. You never disappoint.
Thank you
Hey, I'm Benny Blanco from the Bronx!!
I don’t remember the last time I blew my nose neither
Carlo shoulda offered Tony that he would get a letter from his Dr. like Vito offered.
😂
What a note from his doctor saying he likes to suck cock?
It was just a joke!
That heinz bottle deserves an oscar.
"Its Carlo, he's gonna testify" his voice just rings in my ear
What I love about the show is that they demonstrate why Paulie despite his advanced years in comparison to the others hasn’t risen far in the organisation. He constantly misreads situations, he only considered the possibility that Carlo had flipped when Tony alerted him to it. But there have been several other occasions. E.G Getting played by Johnny Sack for information and his whole disinterested demeanour when Tony took him to Italy.
That's honestly what I loved the most about Paulie it really seemed like the guy never grew up and while in real life that can be problematic on TV it makes for great comedy😂
The irony is that Paulie was one of the very few that survived when much smarter people died. (Yes I know it's a character and its plot armour), but if that isn't art imitating life then I don't know what is! How many times have we seen in real-life that the smart people die but the complete fuckwits survive like cockroaches?
Paulie was a Cappo. He also at one stage was Underboss. You could hardly say he didn't advance in the family.
Nah; Not it at all! Paulie just played dumb; He survived longer than everyone else becuase he played "just smart enough"; "Cladius effect"...In the emd, Paulie looked out for #1. Himself! Christopher was his last apprentice; After his death, Paulie was done. He might (or not have) known about the hit on Tony; He tried to warn him regardless, and split after reluctantly taking a promotion...Paulie wasn't coming back; He had been building a retirement fund for years...Chase had been building his "quiet escape", the entire series...
@brentfarvors192 No. There is literally no evidence for that theory anywhere in the series.
Social club!!?? " he's gotta goooo"
I want to think about it.
5:05 dude that look 🙁
💨💨yup right at that moment Carlo made his decision, fuk Tony.
It’s up to the audience to choose but what David Chase is telling everyone is that there are only 2 possible outcomes for Tony. One, Carlo flipped and he’s ratting everyone out, including Tony, two, Tony dies in the last scene in the restaurant. So, either way you cut it, Tony either rots in prison or dies in a restaurant in front of his family!
Trials are there to be won
“Fuck that Honor and Loyalty shit” - the man that preaches honor and loyalty the entire fuckin show 💀
4:09 that look 🤣
Always liked the irony of tony wanted aj to be more like carl's kids and then fonding out they were arrested for selling H. And what i love even better is that, like all of the decisions on his life and everythong that surrounds him, he never got that irony.
The bottle of ketchup stayed loyal and didn't flip
He never spilled
This was a good insight to lookback on how Carlo realized he was in the wrong business the entire time. Nice video even better editing. Good job!
Carlo probably would've flipped regardless to protect his son, but the way Tony acted made that decision a no-brainer.
i want paulies ringtone
I want Paulies pinky ring
“Cecilia” by Simon and Garfunkel
Darth Buffy I want Fat Dom’s ringtone, since he got “olayed” by Carlo.
I still want his car horn
Paulie saying "OH!" makes a great notification sound
To answer the question Borko posed; In my opinion yes. Tony was slowly alienating everyone around, to the point where he was willing to kill anyone for so much as a suspicion. You see this with Paulie in Miami in regards to the Ginny Weight Joke, and how Tony was that close to killing him. Tony getting into and losing scuffle with Bobby because he is deliberately antagonizing him, and crying about it later like the petulant bully he is. Key things that point to the kind of man Carlo is we see when he pushes blame on Silvio for Dom's death, his approval of Phil's execution of Vito, Carlo could also have been disillusioned with Tony's gossiping and lastly the feds closing in on him because of his son. Simply put Carlo was out for his family's best interests and not the DiMeo family.
Chris told Tony 3 o'clock. And he got shot while his shooter was at his 3 o'clock!
These things...they come in threes

1:05-1:57 during the ketchup scene, "The Jam" by Graham Central Station playing in the background. Because Carlo flipping puts Tony in a jam. This show never misses a beat...literally!

Underrated
Walnuts glances up at the pole, after his drink..

Tony was such a horrible boss by the end. No strategy. No control over his emotions. Pathological narcissist as junior once said.
As Frank Lopez once said: the men who last in this business are the ones who lay low and fly straight. The ones that want it all never last. Tony Soprano def made that Scarface transition from season 1 to 6.
It was the judge Roy Bean comment that pushed Carlo over the edge.
How many mobsters actually retire? Very few. People may have feared Tony was facing some very serious charges, they didn't want to take a chance of him flipping. Which led to the restaurant scene.
The restaurant scene was him chilling with his family, not getting whacked in front of them.
Considering how incredibly selfish and paranoid he became near the end of the show, with no doubt he was definitely going to flip. At that point he was a huge liability and NY knew that.
@@arhandemirok2189 NY wasn’t doing anything. They let him whack Phil
It was absolutely, unequivocally, Tony's fault. He got so paranoid and spiteful in Season 6.
I wish I was there to throw mustard on that burger.... just to distance myself
Tony has resentment towards Carlo. Carlo was the main Captain pushing Tony to kill Vito. Carlo actually suggested to Tony’s face, that Tony’s all talk when Phil killed Vito. Carlo didn’t respect Tony, and Tony resented him subconsciously because of it. Carlo probably wasn’t bring in as much money in construction as Vito, because Carlo might have been holding out part of his kick to Tony. And Carlo’s Cousin Bert Gervasi switched sides during The Lupertazzi-Soprano War… Everything that happened is Tony’s fault. He should have supported Junior as Boss, not undermining him.
Carlo possessed neither the loyalty nor aptitude to be a Captain. He was exactly the type of embittered, forgettable guy that would flip at the first sign of trouble, and he was only given the responsibilities he was given because nearly everyone in the Aprile Crew was dead.
Listen to me everyone. In order to get the ketchup out of one of those glass Heinz bottles, you have to hit the little 57 on the side of the bottle where the neck starts to form, not the back of the bottle like Tony's lawyer does. If just one person sees this I will be happy. Enjoy your fries.
💯
This is the part people forget, Tony was doomed just from this alone, doesn’t matter if he was killed or not. He was going to jail.
Don't know the truth of it, but I've read that Tony Sirico (who had been a bit of a wiseguy) made it clear that he didn't want Paulie to flip--there was a rumor that he had it in his contract, but it seems to have been unofficial rather than in writing. Since I read that, I've wondered if the guy who played Carlo (and who is an ex-cop) ever made it known that he would be fine with his character flipping.
It’s amazing how much I still watch sopranos stuff after seeing twice the whole series. That final scene makes me emotional.
“Just a small town girl, living in a lonely world....” 🤩🤩
Paulie having Simon and Garfunkel "Cecilia" as a ringtone 🤣
No it really isnt that funny
Tony was such a goblin in the later seasons.
What was with the cut to the security camera at the bing? I feel like there was more to that, and we're missing something.
wadayameaan, to see those t1tt1es bounce. what else!?
Borko did twenty years in the can and ate grilled cheese off the radiator
Legend has it, the ketchup is running the Jersey crew!
3:45 Carlo's toss was so hideously stylish that he actually stopped talking for a sec to let everyone else enjoy it too.
😆👌
Love how he has an outburst with the lawyer smacking the sauce bottle. Then they just continue talking as normal. Love this mf show
I love how Carmela knows exactly what Meadow is going to the doctor for- and I love Tony’s reaction even more. At a surface level, he condemns any sort of pre-marital sex Meadow is having, while he is a cooz-hound himself. His reaction there, in the final episode... is just a summation of his character as a whole. Or it’s not. I don’t know.
Nice comment. Very allegorical.
When does he objectify premarital sex in the entire show? Never
@@humblewonder3260 i did not say he objectified it
@@jasayassa6065 Okay. Let me restate my question then. When did he ever condemn premarital sex in the entire show? Never
Humble Wonder sometime between season 5 and 6 Meadow comes to Tony crying about problems with her boy Finn DeTrilo. Tony says, and I quote “...when you’re living in sin with someone...” which is a condemnation of Meadow’s sexual freedom at school. I can give you sources and possibly more examples if you need. My brain hurts and I love the sopranos.
"Don't give me that look" the one everyone in the rooms giving him, you mean? Wasn't just Carlo that was affected by that statement.
I vividly remember Tony calling Carlo a cocksucer contributing to Carlo flipping but I completely forgot about that "Fuck that honor and loyal shit" dialogue from Tony. Glad I saw this video. Tony made it easy for Carlo to flip.
That Heinz bottle never had the makings of a varsity athlete
