It's not the fact that they killed more but the fact that they never cut a man's head off while he was still alive or knew anyone who has, even though they are all killers. It's one thing to kill, another to dismember living humans
They did this strange scene to show that even seeing the mob being as ruthless as they are, there are always people even more ruthless, callous, and even strange than what you see (it’s the fallen human nature). They were spot on in doing this bizarre scene and also shows the immense hypocrisy of having the Crucifix (faith) the stark contrast with talking of deranged murder (evil). Amazing scripting...
Yeah, the religious decorations are reminiscent of some culture that puts up talismans to ward off evil spirts. I can only imagine what their priest has heard in confession over the years.

The real reason Silvio and Chris are so freaked out. Because they realize that these people are the ones whose entire job it is to kill other killers. And they're old and not in jail, which means that they are really good at it. And that they would kill either Chris or Silvio in a heartbeat if someone paid them enough. That has to be a disturbing realization.
i dont think its that deep... a bunch of old blind dudes on oxygen tanks with a Catholic Priest thrown in the mix is weird enuff itself when arranging a hit on a high ranking Mafia dude
They are professional killers! They kill and clear up well! Hence why they aren’t in prison and hence why they are reliable. Sort of people that a victim just wouldn’t see coming!!
I like when the dude says “it’s your money” as if he genuinely can’t understand why they don’t want to make this murder more gruesome than practical or necessary. That’s the creepiest thing about this scene. Sil & Chris have both killed a shit ton of people, but neither of them enjoy the act of killing per say, they’re just extremely willing to do it. When they meet people who seem to get off on murder, it even creeps them out

I remember how confused I was when I watched that scene for the first time. The whole time I was wondering whether that was one of those weird dream sequences. It felt like a nightmare you cannot wake up from.
Creepier than any horror movie I've ever seen. Weird, dark house, squeaky floor, Jesus hanging all over the place. Blind, creepy old people and younger lunatic talking about cutting off a guy's head with a hacksaw and itching to do it again. Can't imagine why Chris and Sil didn't want to break cake with the priest!
+Jeff Brown I hear ya, these guys don't look physically impressive but they have the attitude of killers. I rather be stuck in a tank with great white sharks than sit down with a meal with them.
+Jeff Brown They would be extremely effective hitmen - who would be scared of a blind guy and another guy on oxygen. They could walk up to Johnny Sack with a gun and he wouldn't run away.
**TRIVIA** One of the elderly hit men that Silvio and Christopher meet is Frank Crisci. Crisci is played by actor Richard Bright who also played Al Neri, a Corleone family member and assassin, in all three Godfather movies. In this episode, the character talks about killing a "Tommy Neri," who was Al Neri's nephew in _The Godfather_. R.I.P. Richard Bright (1937 - 2006)
Too many funny/interesting moments in this one scene alone: Chrissy recommending they do it themselves “Ninja Style” yet the blind daughter scares the shit out of hun from behind. The way Sil nudges Chrissy in first was just hilarious. Lou mentioning that Frank killed a man called Tommy Neri, and the man playing Frank (Richard Bright) was well known to have portrayed Al Neri in the Godfather trilogy. The advice Junior passed down through Tony was to not mention drugs to Lou and his crew, yet it’s Lou who brings it up.
Don't know why, but I also got a kick out of Silvio's nudging Christopher through the doorway. Such a small detail, but shows you the attention to detail and underlying comedy this show offered.
I think Chrissy’s reaction to the daughter was entirely because of him being high at that moment, hence the sunglasses. Drugs like that make you more sensitive towards things, as to be easily scared.
They're killers...and they're old... Look at Baccala Sr., that last hit put a real big smile on his face. They _live_ for that sort of thing...truly terrifying
EDIT: Chris and Sil were ruthless and cold-blooded as they came but this scene really reinforced that there are forces far more ruthless and far more frightening out there.
The coldest killers in the world were propped up by the Vatican and the Cwtholic church.....more genocide and murder than almost anyone in the history of the world.....THE CRUSADES ANYONE?
Was I the only one who wanted more scenes with this family? Holy creepy crap! This entire scene is perfect. This family could have their own spinoff show.
These people lived, breathed, slept and thought about death just about their whole lives. They are more than professionals at this. It's all they know either for work or fun. They did a great job in transmitting all this to the audience.
It's the little things in this show, like when after Silvio pushes Chris to go inside, how the door makes that "haunted house" creeeeeeekk, it's perfect.
I always thought it strange that they handed them a photo of John and Tony, only mentioning its the guy on the left once. They're old, half blind and probably forgetful.
If the pic was cropped then it would leave a trail, or hint that Tony was involved with this somehow. But this way, the intact photo is nothing more than a lost picture.
I think Sil and Chris are super weirded out around blind people. The other Chris is hilarious, he sees another young guy and just wants to hang out - like he has no idea how scary and not normal these guys are haha
I think Other Chris really would've liked to have hung out with Christopher. I don't think Chrissy being dead or alive would've made much difference if it came down to it.
@@henriksonn7190 Chris says it...then he puts his fingers on his mouth, he's embarrassed he said it...she no doubt heard it, and there's crucifixes all over the house ;-)
@@Guitarman7133 The whole scene is really funny - Chris’ discomfort around the blind woman, the older man accusing Chris of being on drugs, the violent nature of these assassins despite their elderly appearances, Sil’s discomfort at their violence, and finally the appearance of the priest at the very end. Just an amazing scene.
This was one of the creepiest scenes in the entire series. The house looks like it's haunted; the psychopaths who live inside are even creepier than the regular goon squad; they're having cake later and a priest happens to show up after they discuss murder for hire. That other guy, "Chris," who happens to have the same birthday as our Chris is especially unnerving. All sorts of weirdness. Neither Sil nor Chris wants to go into that creepy place. ...and they wait for their victim to wake up after knocking him out to cut his head off?!?!?!?!?!? Why not just shoot the guy and be done with it?
Worse,at least in the Chainsaw Massacre you kind of had an idea what you were looking at,but these guy's & female are more creepy than some of the ornaments my Aunt had on her windowsill back in the mid 1970's
As a Rhode Islander from Providence, this scene is especially creepy. I wonder if the mob here is anything like these old guys. They're not in the news much these days anyways.
They're definitely still operating in Providence. Contrary to how most mafia families are portrayed on TV, a lot of them deal drugs. Loansharking, illegal gambling and prostitution are still big money makers. The days of controlling unions and construction projects have been over for quite some time, however. You probably don't hear about them in the news because the Prov faction of the family has been decimated over the years and law enforcement is no longer pursuing them with the same manpower they had in the 80s and 90s.
NEW YORK SPORTS FAN come to long island..got some creepy old timers in wheel chairs that tell some crazy old story's..but russians or albanians taking over. You also have italian mafia groups like the Ndrangheta establishing new york franchises.
N'drangheta setting up cells in the US will put the final bullet in the head of Omerta. Those Mustache Petes have absolutely no restraints on who they kill; cops, families, whatever. In the 1980s they were killing Italian supreme court justices with car bombs. There will BE no more "semi-admiration" for Italian organized crime if those assholes get established under the old rules.
Tiny nod to The Godfather with the mention of someone called Neri. That's Richard Bright who played Al Neri (Consiglieri to Michael Corleone) sat on the sofa with the ventilator.
I remember I was going to college in Providence when this ep came out; one professor went on a tangent in class the next day on how disappointed he was in RI's presentation and representation here
I have never been to Rhode Island, but rest assured that I will not let this representative sample of that fine state's citizenry prejudice me in any way.
Jimmy talks about these old guys, when he talks about Rhodes Island (with Tony). Really interesting detail - he just makes an off-hand remark about them and how they do things the old style.
Fun fact : at 2:05. They mention a tony neri that got his head cut off by this guy at 2:19. That guy played Al Neri in the godfather 1,2, & 3 he is also a hitman in those movies
+KRKahn87 Richard Bright, may he rest in peace. Killed ten years ago when he got hit by the wheel of a tour bus while in a crosswalk in the Upper West Side. His character uses an oxygen mask, however, Richard also suffered from emphysema. He has one of the most memorable scenes with "Michael Corleone" when Michael embraces and pretends to reconcile with Fredo ("keep your friends close and your enemies closer"). The look Michael gives to "Al Neri" is chilling, and Neri's expression speaks volumes. A still from that scene is on Richard Bright's wiki page.
Speaking as one who grew up in R.I., this is sooooo accurate - the house, the dark interior, the accents, the Crosses everywhere. David Chase and the gang are so talented.
I wish there were another 50 characters like these guys in The Sopranos. You can tell Terrence Winter wrote this episode and then made Boardwalk Empire where he DID have 50 characters like these guys.

The important thing is that the slippery ole fuck w/the fishlips disappears in @timely & orderly fuckin fashion...
And Sil inhales deeply as he says it...he's creeped out, and trying to keep his composure. Nice acting there
Its your money, use it when you want!
I remember how confused I was when I watched that scene for the first time. The whole time I was wondering whether that was one of those weird dream sequences. It felt like a nightmare you cannot wake up from.
Creepier than any horror movie I've ever seen. Weird, dark house, squeaky floor, Jesus hanging all over the place. Blind, creepy old people and younger lunatic talking about cutting off a guy's head with a hacksaw and itching to do it again. Can't imagine why Chris and Sil didn't want to break cake with the priest!
Jeff Brown The house must have smelled bad. It reminded me of The Amittyville Horror.
+Jeff Brown AHHHAAAHAA !!! ;D
+Jeff Brown I hear ya, these guys don't look physically impressive but they have the attitude of killers. I rather be stuck in a tank with great white sharks than sit down with a meal with them.
+Jeff Brown They would be extremely effective hitmen - who would be scared of a blind guy and another guy on oxygen. They could walk up to Johnny Sack with a gun and he wouldn't run away.
It was disquieting to see Soprano family tough guys looking so discomfited. Another great scene....
**TRIVIA**
One of the elderly hit men that Silvio and Christopher meet is Frank Crisci. Crisci is played by actor Richard Bright who also played Al Neri, a Corleone family member and assassin, in all three Godfather movies. In this episode, the character talks about killing a "Tommy Neri," who was Al Neri's nephew in _The Godfather_.
R.I.P. Richard Bright (1937 - 2006)
Lady Deadpool 💋 HITMEN* ffs, HITMEN!
ossian108 FFS!
Nice catch
Lady Deadpool 💋 Who is Tommy Nieri??
and we are supposed to care because ?
*The Cataract Killers. The guy on the right killed Fredo in Godfather.*
O G
Oh snap. Thats al neri
"would you like some cake to eat with our priest after denying our suggestion to decapitate your friend with a hack saw?" "your most kind, but no."
***** for a minute I thought it was Father Tony

dog food and prescribed medicine
Vitamins and piss
Don't forget smelly feet too😝
Too many funny/interesting moments in this one scene alone:
Chrissy recommending they do it themselves “Ninja Style” yet the blind daughter scares the shit out of hun from behind.
The way Sil nudges Chrissy in first was just hilarious.
Lou mentioning that Frank killed a man called Tommy Neri, and the man playing Frank (Richard Bright) was well known to have portrayed Al Neri in the Godfather trilogy.
The advice Junior passed down through Tony was to not mention drugs to Lou and his crew, yet it’s Lou who brings it up.
wow that WAS Neri from The Godfather!
Don't know why, but I also got a kick out of Silvio's nudging Christopher through the doorway. Such a small detail, but shows you the attention to detail and underlying comedy this show offered.
Thank For that Interesting Info
Richard Bright was ran over and killed by a tour bus!
I think Chrissy’s reaction to the daughter was entirely because of him being high at that moment, hence the sunglasses.
Drugs like that make you more sensitive towards things, as to be easily scared.
“It’s your money -“ lol, like they’re turning down extra cheese or something
They wanted it to be gruesome. They were disappointed at the request of nothing fancy.
They're killers...and they're old...
Look at Baccala Sr., that last hit put a real big smile on his face. They _live_ for that sort of thing...truly terrifying
EDIT: Chris and Sil were ruthless and cold-blooded as they came but this scene really reinforced that there are forces far more ruthless and far more frightening out there.
they are hit man duh
The religious imagery adds to it.
The coldest killers in the world were propped up by the Vatican and the Cwtholic church.....more genocide and murder than almost anyone in the history of the world.....THE CRUSADES ANYONE?
This might be one of those supernatural elements, even a blind man could see what Christopher was in to.
Was I the only one who wanted more scenes with this family?
Holy creepy crap!
This entire scene is perfect.
This family could have their own spinoff show.
I didn't realise the Addams family did hits as a sideline
They were indeed one of the best characters of the show indeed. They should have done more with them
The Carvel’s..
fuckin a
@@A.C31 caavels you deaf prick
That just creeped everyone out of their shinebox comments.
LMAO so true. 😂😂😂

I didn't even notice the lack of shineboxes here
Jesus Christ that's funny, just spit out my coffee lol.
Thank fuck.
Now go get and shine your fucking home box
Jesus Christ it's like suddenly David Lynch entered the chat.
01:47 - she scared the crap out of both of them, lol.
@TheRealist 811 I heard it just now.
TheRealist 811 Omg, you’re right..
Reminds me of grandma from bad santa let me fix you some sandwiches
@@G3RM3X617 lol
W=23MEN
You know it's bad when stone cold killers like Chris and Sil are freaked out by others
I’ve probably re watched this whole show just in these clips alone
Me too.
These people lived, breathed, slept and thought about death just about their whole lives. They are more than professionals at this. It's all they know either for work or fun. They did a great job in transmitting all this to the audience.
Agreed
Very true
Really? I thought they were actors.
True
This was simultaneously one of the funniest and freakiest scenes in the entire series. Loved it. Great reactions by Imperioli and Van Zandt.
These were the scariest dudes ever on The Sopranos.
the way christopher hesitates to go in cracks me up, then sil pushes him forward
were having cake later..both jump..they were scared as hell
Then when Sil started showing the picture, Christopher had to give an assertive pat on his back to move in closer lol.
If you look closely, you can see Lou is wearing the infamous "Members Only Jacket".
the Teamsters!
It's the little things in this show, like when after Silvio pushes Chris to go inside, how the door makes that "haunted house" creeeeeeekk, it's perfect.
I always thought it strange that they handed them a photo of John and Tony, only mentioning its the guy on the left once. They're old, half blind and probably forgetful.
+Michael Rooney lmao
Damn they prolly killed tony at the end
If the pic was cropped then it would leave a trail, or hint that Tony was involved with this somehow.
But this way, the intact photo is nothing more than a lost picture.
That's part of the joke of the scene.
Yes but there were others with them who were younger and able to remember clearly who Silvio pointed out
I think Sil and Chris are super weirded out around blind people. The other Chris is hilarious, he sees another young guy and just wants to hang out - like he has no idea how scary and not normal these guys are haha
Hahaha honestly I wonder if he isn't a killer himself. Reminds me of the hitchhiker from texas chainsaw
I think Other Chris really would've liked to have hung out with Christopher. I don't think Chrissy being dead or alive would've made much difference if it came down to it.
@@RReese08 LoL yea the other Chris looks like he's spent personal time with dead people before.
They couldn't have made this scene more odd if they tried, love it lol
The scene outside the house is a work of genius; the house with the tower silhouetted against the winter sky, church bell ringing, crow sounds.
Federal Hill, The Italian Section of Providence specifically Atwells Avenue. Love the old Italian flavor of the house with all the religious icons.
Quasimodo1957 Ah, thanks for the info Quasimodo!
and the leafless trees.
Hi Lucas, sorry for the late reply. Absolutely on the leafless trees.
Bells are a common thread in Sopranos. In lots of scenes.
1:47 Sil almost catches a heart attack LOL
And Chrissy mutters “Jesus Christ”...I’m still laughing my ass off.
Good thing Paulie wasn't there.
Carr vell
@@MarkyD1967 Its Silvio saying that.
@@henriksonn7190 Chris says it...then he puts his fingers on his mouth, he's embarrassed he said it...she no doubt heard it, and there's crucifixes all over the house ;-)
"We could do this ourselves. Ninja style." -Chrissy
All that's missing is the sword and stealth. And competence.
we could do this ourselves... Ninja style...Classic line
lol so funny
When Silvio pushed Chris in the door first I busted a gut laughing. LOL
Lol me too
When crazy meets crazier.
Sopranos meets twin peaks!!
David Chase has cited David Lynch as an influence.
In S1E5, when Tony calls Chris on the payphone in the midnight and the phone rings, that scene can pass as one from a David Lynch film 1000%.
All the coma scenes - Kevin Finnerty stuff - would be also a good meeting between Sopranos and Twin Peaks
hahaha "are you into drugs" that was the funniest shit ever chris was like wtf how did he know
Maybe smelled it on him.
Chris was high as a kite.
His eyes, his denial, maybe his needles marks?
It's because "oh yeah?" Drug addict answer
I just loved sil's response when the old man said they could cut Johnny's head off "I don't think we need to be that overstated " LOL
Those 3 old dudes, the blind woman and the guy with the goatee would make a great spin-off!
They already did something similar...The Addams Family
"If you want, we can arrange for the same Thing to happen again". Gotta love The Sopranos dark humour.
I can hear Sil tell him OK then send us his head in a box so we can send you the rest of the payment lol
Cut his shine box off with a hacksaw.
@@spoda81 "It's your money"
When Chris stands outside looking around and Silvio pushes him in, that’s one of the funny moments in The Sopranos that makes the series so great.
I WAS GONNA SAY THE SAME THING!
@@Guitarman7133 The whole scene is really funny - Chris’ discomfort around the blind woman, the older man accusing Chris of being on drugs, the violent nature of these assassins despite their elderly appearances, Sil’s discomfort at their violence, and finally the appearance of the priest at the very end. Just an amazing scene.
Richard Bright. A very fine and outstanding Actor. You sure put your Heart and dedication into your work. May you R.I.P.
Sad how he passed
Gon: Yeah it was. He was hit by a bus in NYC, as you know.
sucks to go that way! RIP
the old man reminds me a bit of hector "dingdingding" salamanca
Yeah bitch!
Crazy Joe Davola why you can play audio in your comment?
@@jackwang7539 - Why I can play audio? What?
I love how Rose scares the shit outta them coming through with the Sanka
For some reason, she looks to me like she smells of piss.
This was one of the creepiest scenes in the entire series. The house looks like it's haunted; the psychopaths who live inside are even creepier than the regular goon squad; they're having cake later and a priest happens to show up after they discuss murder for hire. That other guy, "Chris," who happens to have the same birthday as our Chris is especially unnerving.
All sorts of weirdness.
Neither Sil nor Chris wants to go into that creepy place.
...and they wait for their victim to wake up after knocking him out to cut his head off?!?!?!?!?!? Why not just shoot the guy and be done with it?
Even the fuckin' priest seems weird and we only see him for like 4 seconds lol
It's like Texas Chainsaw Massacre family mafia style.
u hit the nail on the head!
Worse,at least in the Chainsaw Massacre you kind of had an idea what you were looking at,but these guy's & female are more creepy than some of the ornaments my Aunt had on her windowsill back in the mid 1970's
I love howSil calls him Lou DiMaggio lol to that lady
As a Rhode Islander from Providence, this scene is especially creepy. I wonder if the mob here is anything like these old guys. They're not in the news much these days anyways.
Don't talk to them about drugs, not even Tylenol.
+Agent1W
Funny considering there's smack addicts and syringes lying all over the place
They're definitely still operating in Providence. Contrary to how most mafia families are portrayed on TV, a lot of them deal drugs. Loansharking, illegal gambling and prostitution are still big money makers. The days of controlling unions and construction projects have been over for quite some time, however.
You probably don't hear about them in the news because the Prov faction of the family has been decimated over the years and law enforcement is no longer pursuing them with the same manpower they had in the 80s and 90s.
NEW YORK SPORTS FAN come to long island..got some creepy old timers in wheel chairs that tell some crazy old story's..but
russians or albanians taking over. You also have italian mafia groups like the Ndrangheta establishing new york franchises.
N'drangheta setting up cells in the US will put the final bullet in the head of Omerta. Those Mustache Petes have absolutely no restraints on who they kill; cops, families, whatever. In the 1980s they were killing Italian supreme court justices with car bombs. There will BE no more "semi-admiration" for Italian organized crime if those assholes get established under the old rules.
Tiny nod to The Godfather with the mention of someone called Neri. That's Richard Bright who played Al Neri (Consiglieri to Michael Corleone) sat on the sofa with the ventilator.
Haha it was, wasn't it? Nice catch man.
well spotted man...He got hit by a bus in New York too
vtrmcs good observation
Neri was a capo, not consigliere.
Great catch, but Tom Hagen was consigliere to Michael Corleone.
The writing of this scene was absolutely brilliant. The foreshadowing of chrissy’s demise, and of course Lou DiMaggio.
Written by Michael Imperioli, directed by Steve Buscemi and guest starring this colorful crew. Great episode.
@Gene Bone on the ball!
Lol you had me going
"It's my birthday, too." Chris blinks. I can't help but think, WHEN did the topic of birthdays even come up??
from the picture of John and Tony and the birthday cake.
ah, good eye
There's a birthday cake in the photograph of Johnny Sac and Tony.
The Other Chris is really looking forward to his cake. Carvel!!
I remember I was going to college in Providence when this ep came out; one professor went on a tangent in class the next day on how disappointed he was in RI's presentation and representation here
I have never been to Rhode Island, but rest assured that I will not let this representative sample of that fine state's citizenry prejudice me in any way.
Jimmy talks about these old guys, when he talks about Rhodes Island (with Tony). Really interesting detail - he just makes an off-hand remark about them and how they do things the old style.
One of my favorite scenes ever. Chris and Silvio looked as if they were scared shitless being in that house, talking with those old timers
lol very creepy!
Fun fact : at 2:05. They mention a tony neri that got his head cut off by this guy at 2:19. That guy played Al Neri in the godfather 1,2, & 3 he is also a hitman in those movies
"Tommy Neri" and the guy next to him is the man who played Al Neri in the Godfather. Funky.
+KRKahn87
So it is .
And if it wasnt for age , Id say the blind chap was Hyman Roth
*****
With the oxygen tube under his nose .
Hes on the left in this .
Hes on the right in the Godfather ;)
+KRKahn87 Richard Bright, may he rest in peace. Killed ten years ago when he got hit by the wheel of a tour bus while in a crosswalk in the Upper West Side. His character uses an oxygen mask, however, Richard also suffered from emphysema. He has one of the most memorable scenes with "Michael Corleone" when Michael embraces and pretends to reconcile with Fredo ("keep your friends close and your enemies closer"). The look Michael gives to "Al Neri" is chilling, and Neri's expression speaks volumes. A still from that scene is on Richard Bright's wiki page.
I thought so, thanks.
was in he any other good films ?
that was a fantastic scene. the best , thanks for posting
Lou: "Are you into drugs?"
Chris: "I did-nt!!"
Lou despite being old, blind and frail was still sharp as a f@cking cue ball.
The fucking acting skills in this scene.. Love this show
That gun shooting gesture at the end is fucking perfect.
"We're having cake later. Carvel!" I really wish she had brought out a Fudgie the Whale when Silvio and Chris were leaving.
Hilarious how both Silvio and Christopher were startled when the blind women came up behind them with the Sanka... :-)
Speaking as one who grew up in R.I., this is sooooo accurate - the house, the dark interior, the accents, the Crosses everywhere. David Chase and the gang are so talented.
The house is in Blomfield nj, but I'm sure it was chosen for that reason
Sorry, Belleville
Okay... these Hitmen are creepy as shit.
It was pretty "overstated" lol.
not really...
Seriously, utterly creepy.
creepier than a horror movie. made me nauseas
Wacky whackers.
Richard bright. What an actor. From Godfather trilogy to The Sopranos. Classic gangster. RIP.
“We could do this ourselves ninja style”
Freaking hysterical. It's the kind of scene that made the Sopranos so good. And the Father walks in. LOL. You gotta love it.
When she comes back at 1:47, the subtle “Jesus Christ” kills me!
Lmao, I knew she had startled him but I never heard the Jesus Christ 😄
I wish there were another 50 characters like these guys in The Sopranos.
You can tell Terrence Winter wrote this episode and then made Boardwalk Empire where he DID have 50 characters like these guys.
