Vito jr had a sit down with two bosses and disrespected them and still lived to tell the tale, I got to say he should have been made then and there 🤴 👑
Ha, I grew up in suburban Michigan and that's the first thing my dad would say when I did something wrong. And when I got busted for a DUI at age 32, those were my STEPDAD's first words.
"Oh you're being funny? That's good. Because I'm sure you miss him, a lot. Whatever he was." That's the most humanitarian line Tony utters in the whole series.
that line combined with the sigh and the slight touching of his hand as to comfort him as he walks away are really uncharacteristic for Tony. It really shows that Tony cares about this kid, and that he wishes Vito Sr.'s life wouldn't have ended the way it did.
@@yung_bonsai You're giving way too much credit to Tony and not enough to James Gandalphini. Tony looks like a "humanitarian" here because it's one of the few times Gandalphini isn't acting. He was genuinely warm and empathetic in person and he really lets that shine in Tony's rare warmer moments. But Tony Soprano, the character is a total degenerate sociopath. His main concern is how much moving the family to Maine would *cost*, not the mental stress on the family. Like maybe *maybe* Tony feels a shred of guilt, since he's the only one that didn't want to kill Vito. But if he cared about Vito as a person at all he wouldn't be grabbing his only surviving son by the throat and threatening to throw him out a plate glass window. What sort of inhuman monster does that to a clearly traumatized child?
I disagree, I think Tony was probably masking when he said that because literally two seconds later he snaps at him and threatened to throw him through a plate-glass window. I think Tony's warmest, most humanitarian moment in the show was when he rescued AJ in the pool and starts calling him baby.
Having just rewatched the series after 15 years, I didn’t appreciate how absolutely horrible Tony and every character in the show truly was. But, I did like Tony then and now he truly is one of the worst characters in tv history
Ever since he sees the quote on the hospital room, i love when they do shit like that in this show, someone hears a phrase (or looks at the phrase in this case) from somebody and they repeat it when talking to another person
Despite how weird Vito jr is, I like how unfazed he is from Tony and phil’s pressure. It’s also sad in a way, he knows exactly what’s happened to his dad, and now he’s detached from fear and shame.
Good line when he says "what am I supposed to do about it?". He's right. What is he supposed to do about growing up in a mafia family and then learning his dad was gay after he was brutally murdered? The fact he's not more fucked up is a miracle.
He's supposed to try to be a source of comfort to his mother and younger siblings- isn't that obvious? even if he IS messed up and hurting he shouldn't want to be a burden to his family which is in a state of pain and grief already
Kid loses his father to the same guys that are trying to "help". He's being bullied at school. Mother is distant as fuck and he's essentially at the beginning stages of puberty where a teen is at his most fragile. This kid needed people to actually help him rather telling him what he should do as a fucking 13 year old kid.
The brilliance of this scene is that all the kid wanted was a hug and someone to tell him it's going to be alright. And Tony knew it but with all his bravado he couldn't find the courage in himself to do it. Great scene
The kid can get a hug from his mother. Tony showed a lot of grace in this scene. If he had said that to Uncle Philly about butt buddies he would have gotten a crack.
Tony feels guilt. The boys father is dead and Tony helped make it happen. He also doesn't want to hurt this child he just doesn't have alot of ways to persuade people so he shifted to intimidation tactics.
The similarity of what Tony sees in himself in Vito Jr doesn't go unnoticed. As soon as Vito Jr says "what am I suppose to do about it?" You can see Tony think, however quickly of his own mother and what he was suppose to do about her. Great acting and script writing.

Telling a 12 year old child to man up, especially knowing that the kid's in that position BCUZ of Tony and his Uncle Phil wacking his Father. The Hypocrisy of it all hit Tony hard so he had to walk off...
"What am I supposed to do about it?" "Pull your head out of your ass, stop acting like a dumbass at school, start dressing and acting your age at minimum, help out around the house as much as you can to take even a fraction of burden off her shoulders that she carries while providing for you, and when you get old enough get a part time job to help out financially while living under her roof. It isnt rocket science and tons of kids did the same or infinitely more before you."
Tony is SO infuriatingly close to saying the right things to Vito Jr. (and other characters in the series) but always somehow says the worst possible combination of things that makes the situation worse
@lanem7006 Something like "Look, your Dad's gone, there's no changing that. Acting like this is only going to make YOUR life worse, if you continue doing this then you have no future." Etc, etc. He's close, he's hitting the places he should but he's doing it WAY too aggressively
@@lanem7006 In my opinion Vito Jr needed actual guidance. Not this vague "be a man," stuff. He's crying out for attention, that's why he dresses that way and is acting out. He needs support, to feel like his feelings are important and that people care about him. Not how what he's doing affects other people, he's the kid.
Vito jr. is a master of verbal combat. He stonewalls everything that Tony throws at him and waits for moments to diss him. His insults continuously dismantle Tony's attempts at emotional appeal - He tries to tell Vito jr. that he always was a good kid - Vito jr. counters this and calls him out for not even knowing who he is. Tony tries to come back again by talking about what good friends him and Vito were - Vito jr. accuses him of homosexual behavior. He does the same things when Phil tries to talk with him. He does subtle things to provoke people so they get frustrated and give up talking to him.
Vito Jr was probably the smartest kid in the sopranos. He wasn't oblivious to the fact what his dad did, and his behavior behind closed doors. He's the only child not scared of Tony or Phil.
For a moment, I think, Tony recognized something in Vito Jr that reminded him of himself. Look at how he reacts to "What am I supposed to do about it?" after Tony asks him about his mother. Kinda of reflects on how Tony felt about his mother.
I caught the same thing watching It and im surprised how many comments make jokes about the scene But only you said this.. It is exactly the point of this scene
True he's not afraid of tony at all doesn't even react when he grabs his face ...x x x he's actually prob one of the only people not afraid of Tony in the series ..x x
@michael murillo he already did...and i don't think he'd of cared if tony hit him. lol, when a kid takes a shit in the shower at school, it's safe to say they are a bit self-destructive.
From what I've just seen, I think this was Tony's way of speaking to himself. That resolve, that drive and that determination follows him because he didn't get this kind of talk from someone, and by him talking to Vito jnr. this way just helps him sweep everything under the rug for himself
It’s honestly so sad how he turned out, the times we see him before he’s such a happy and well behaved kid but reading that news article fucked him up forever
I was a kid without a father, and every so often some guy would try to give me a one time Gipper speech. I resented them like this kid did. There is no substitute for you Dad teaching you life's lessons EVERY day. Not just once as a favor to your mom.
@Machine Algorithm Alpha It's true man. My mother never knew what she didn't know. When I hear single Moms complain it just pisses me off. My mom thought she was like Cher except she was poor, fat, and could not sing or act.
For a second, after letting go of the kids face, Tony almost acted like a human. You can see how he was about to comfort the kid and tell him everything was going to be okay, maybe he even wanted to hug the poor little fella. Then the demon inside him noticed, and Tony was himself again.
They say, and I believe it's true, that we are often resent and get more angered by the faults/weaknesses we see in others that we in fact have within ourselves. For me, it is definitely the case in my life. Throughout the show Tony resents those that he perceives are in a state of pity for themselves. Even when he get's it wrong, like Vito JR who is just a kid going through some heavy shit. It's completely normal for him to be a bit fucked up right now. But Tony see's it as a weakness and gets angered by it. Was the same with Chris. Those he admires as the 'Gary Cooper' types. Which is true of a lot of men I think, especially modern men who look to a by gone era.
And now we know that Tony wasn't too much unlike Vito Jr as a kid. Didn't live up to his parents expectations. Then spent the rest of his life trying to make up for it.
You realize that Tony's affect in the first half of this convo is actually pretty supportive...especially at 0:46, when he sympathizes with Vito Jr.'s having lost his father, "whatever he was." One of those relatively rare, brief glimmers of tolerance from Tony during this show.
"What am I supposed to do about it". That line made Tony pause for a second and realizes the kid is just a product of his environment and that they were the ones that caused this madness when dealing with Vito. This just take us back to when Tony told Paulie "Who gonna take care of his kids?"
"Listen to me! I'm not some fucking social worker! Now you knock this weird shit off or I will introduce you to a glass plate window!" How ironic that Tony felt offended that Carmela couldn't recognized that he is suffering from depression and he needs this therapy, medication and more understanding to what he was going through.
@@draindraindrain_7242 Just goes to show you how Tony was probably the show's biggest hypocrite! Whatever happened to Gary Cooper?! The strong silent type!!
No he wasn't. He was a narcissistic brat, thinking his distress was more important than anyone else's. I know cos I was just the same (without the Puerto Rican whore bit).
"Yeah, Mr. Soprano. You keep walking up to me and saying, 'I'll take a Big Carl with Cheese. Hold the onions. Large fries. Large milkshake. Oh....and I'll take a large Diet Coke.'"
Can we give props to this kid! Great acting!!! he was acting very volatile (as troubled teenagers) can behave...you can feel his pain about his dad being gone at the end.
James Gandolfini acted the fuck out of this role. I mean you could tell he over acted it but it was perfect acting to over act it because he was always the person to be the skipper. Never once in this series did he ever go above and beyond to take the lead role he was granted it because he was born for it and you could tell - to the character of tony - it was nothing but a glorified curse. Caring for shit that didn't matter. His eyes in this scene. God damn. What an incredible actor. Literally the most perfect role for the right person in the history of film. God bless you JG and may you Rest In Peace you wonderful soul you
This is what made Sopranos such great television. Behind all the bravado there was always a toll, always collateral damage, always suffering from those who were trapped in this world. No one on this show had a happy ending.
haha I thought he was going to give him money for a second for some reason. I guess just because so many scenes end with Tony giving someone some cash, and the way he paused for a second and sort of fiddled near his pocket lol
The way Tony talked to Vito Jr. reminds me when my old man back in 1999 sat next to me while I was in bed and basically told me "playtime" is over, no you step up to the plate and either go to college or get a job and start paying some bills. I will always thank him for that because that day stills means alot to me specially now me being a father and a husband.
Vito Jr is in so much pain that he is not afraid of Tony at atll. He would not mind if Tony introduced him to the glass window. The kid is deeply hurt. I find it amazing that Tony Soprano a man who sees a psychologist cannot realize this kid needs psychological counseling at the very least.

For a moment, I think, Tony recognized something in Vito Jr that reminded him of himself. Look at how he reacts to "What am I supposed to do about it?" after Tony asks him about his mother. Kinda of reflects on how Tony felt about his mother.
Thats why I like this scene so damn much
I caught the same thing watching It and im surprised how many comments make jokes about the scene But only you said this.. It is exactly the point of this scene
Highyfly man Always with scenarios
True he's not afraid of tony at all doesn't even react when he grabs his face ...x x x he's actually prob one of the only people not afraid of Tony in the series ..x x
That series is so layered its ridiculous. I ve watched it several times and im still seeing new things
lol, this weird kid is tougher than most of the dudes working for tony.
lol
I wouldn’t call it “tougher”. That’s a kid who just doesn’t give a fuck anymore and who is just so over things.
@michael murillo he already did...and i don't think he'd of cared if tony hit him. lol, when a kid takes a shit in the shower at school, it's safe to say they are a bit self-destructive.
I'm sorry that kid, is a phenomenal actor. Crying out for help, and he just wants to be loved and not abandoned...He wants security
Vito jr: “ butt buddies”
Tony: “ that was one time! In college, we were drunk, quit changing the subject “!!!
END OF FUKING SUBJECT! :D
Your uncle tony never had the makings of a Varsity overweight gay club biker at a bar in Yonkers
When we were greecing the union
@@Chameleonardodavinci Don't you know it's just a joke? I mean c'mon! It's a JOKE!
He was thinking about the time when his father had a 95lb twink removed from his butt.
Sometimes you call me Ginny Sack.
HEHEHEHEHE
😂😂😂
I thought Tony was gonna give him some money after he yelled at him
Vito Jr. entitled to it bro. slap box at the bing
wilson blauheuer - hahaha
I’ve seen this scene at least 20 times in the last decade ,and thought the same thing every time .
I just thought exactly the same thing. It’s that sigh he does. Just shows how believable Tony is as a character. You feel like you know him.
Go get yourself a sandwich,.. any kind you like.......
@@matthoward1174 ...with a soft drink of choice...
Based on the way this kid stared into Tony's eyes, even this kid is tougher than AJ.
The fenook doesn't fall far from the tree
ahahahh gold
UBUNTU UBUNTU the shinebox doesnt fall far
the gabagool
so true
Wasn’t intimidated by Phil or Tony - and tougher than Tony’s own kid.
From what I've just seen, I think this was Tony's way of speaking to himself. That resolve, that drive and that determination follows him because he didn't get this kind of talk from someone, and by him talking to Vito jnr. this way just helps him sweep everything under the rug for himself
He's trying to help the kids goth culture is detrimental especially back then. Drugs were very frequent at raves.
It’s honestly so sad how he turned out, the times we see him before he’s such a happy and well behaved kid but reading that news article fucked him up forever
The older I get, the more my heart breaks for this kid.
Tony never had the makings of a varsity “Butt Buddy”.
I was a kid without a father, and every so often some guy would try to give me a one time Gipper speech. I resented them like this kid did. There is no substitute for you Dad teaching you life's lessons EVERY day. Not just once as a favor to your mom.
@Machine Algorithm Alpha It's true man. My mother never knew what she didn't know. When I hear single Moms complain it just pisses me off. My mom thought she was like Cher except she was poor, fat, and could not sing or act.
Lol my dad taught me a life lesson maybe few times a year
For a second, after letting go of the kids face, Tony almost acted like a human. You can see how he was about to comfort the kid and tell him everything was going to be okay, maybe he even wanted to hug the poor little fella. Then the demon inside him noticed, and Tony was himself again.
Vito Jr:”what am i supposed to do about it?”
Tony: *heavy breathing intensifies*
They say, and I believe it's true, that we are often resent and get more angered by the faults/weaknesses we see in others that we in fact have within ourselves. For me, it is definitely the case in my life. Throughout the show Tony resents those that he perceives are in a state of pity for themselves. Even when he get's it wrong, like Vito JR who is just a kid going through some heavy shit. It's completely normal for him to be a bit fucked up right now. But Tony see's it as a weakness and gets angered by it. Was the same with Chris. Those he admires as the 'Gary Cooper' types. Which is true of a lot of men I think, especially modern men who look to a by gone era.
they told me to go home and get my fuckin shinebox.
Boy George ova heaaa
Comment sections are filled with them.
Good comment, observation..I find I don't like certain qualities often that are different from me, but I get it
And now we know that Tony wasn't too much unlike Vito Jr as a kid. Didn't live up to his parents expectations. Then spent the rest of his life trying to make up for it.
"You go about and pity for yourself"
Hahaha recycling that line
God he dropped that line at least 6 times in season 6.
And the best part is he was a whiny bitch himself. "Can't I ever catch a break?" That was richer than rice pudding.
Tony preaching one thing and practicing another is his biggest character trait in S6
Ogibwe saying!
That sounds like something Livia probably told Tony many times, no wondered he hated her.
LOL. the kid asked Tony Soprano if he had a butt buddy.
Maybe he saw The Mexican....
Tony wasn't the one wearing lipstick...
So messed up that they called it The Mexican.
lol
Tony's breathing is as Iconic as Darth Vader's at this point.
Kid played that part perfect. I thought it was real
" You listen to me ok I'm not sum fucking social worker. Now you knock this weird shit off or I'm going to introduce you to plate glass window!"
Vito Jr: when I grow up I want to be like my dad
Insert varsity athlete/shine box comment here
Tim Zabriskie I was in prison for 20 fucking years
NOBODY GOT AIDS, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THAT WORD AGAIN
END OF SUBJECT
Tim Zabriskie quick!! somebody get this man a shinebox!!!
Your father never had the makings of a varsity shinebox
You realize that Tony's affect in the first half of this convo is actually pretty supportive...especially at 0:46, when he sympathizes with Vito Jr.'s having lost his father, "whatever he was." One of those relatively rare, brief glimmers of tolerance from Tony during this show.
“Because I’m sure you miss him, a lot , whatever he was “ I love that line by Tony
Tony’s breathing was a made guy and Vito Jr wasn’t.
*heavy breathing*
Kid looks like a Puerto Rican shinebox.
"What am I supposed to do about it". That line made Tony pause for a second and realizes the kid is just a product of his environment and that they were the ones that caused this madness when dealing with Vito. This just take us back to when Tony told Paulie "Who gonna take care of his kids?"
I can’t with Tonys breathing
Stole the whole scene
😂😂😂😂😂😂
i love how this little punk can command the attention and frustration of two powerful Mafia Bosses
"Listen to me! I'm not some fucking social worker! Now you knock this weird shit off or I will introduce you to a glass plate window!"
How ironic that Tony felt offended that Carmela couldn't recognized that he is suffering from depression and he needs this therapy, medication and more understanding to what he was going through.
Great point
@@draindraindrain_7242 Just goes to show you how Tony was probably the show's biggest hypocrite! Whatever happened to Gary Cooper?! The strong silent type!!
Tony had to hit the fridge for some gabagool, Vito wore him out.
I felt this scene right here. Vito Jr. was going through a lot of pain and he was far more mature than the average kid his age.
No he wasn't. He was a narcissistic brat, thinking his distress was more important than anyone else's. I know cos I was just the same (without the Puerto Rican whore bit).
"what am i supposed to do about it" idk not take a dump in the shower would help
carlo jr?
more like... CARL's Jr.
xD LMAO!
Your dad hardees is gone your the hamburger of the house now
"Yeah, Mr. Soprano. You keep walking up to me and saying, 'I'll take a Big Carl with Cheese. Hold the onions. Large fries. Large milkshake. Oh....and I'll take a large Diet Coke.'"
LOL.
@@ccchhhrrriiisss100 Milkshake? It's a "silo".
Can we give props to this kid! Great acting!!! he was acting very volatile (as troubled teenagers) can behave...you can feel his pain about his dad being gone at the end.
James Gandolfini acted the fuck out of this role. I mean you could tell he over acted it but it was perfect acting to over act it because he was always the person to be the skipper. Never once in this series did he ever go above and beyond to take the lead role he was granted it because he was born for it and you could tell - to the character of tony - it was nothing but a glorified curse. Caring for shit that didn't matter. His eyes in this scene. God damn. What an incredible actor. Literally the most perfect role for the right person in the history of film. God bless you JG and may you Rest In Peace you wonderful soul you
"Your Uncle Phil talk to you?"
"Yeah, he said something about me looking like a Puerto Rican Hoare, whatever happened there....."
WHATEVER HAPPENED THERE. ??!!!
He said there's no shining in the car
Tony’s breathing was the star of this scene.
...touching mobster moments
PsionNinja I'll buy that for a dollar
This Puerto Rican hoowah owned both those mob guidos like a BOSS.
This is what made Sopranos such great television. Behind all the bravado there was always a toll, always collateral damage, always suffering from those who were trapped in this world. No one on this show had a happy ending.
So whatta happened at school today?
A: She hit me
And
B: She was a shinebox
Tony getting up after realizing he's not equipped for this boss fight 😂😂
haha I thought he was going to give him money for a second for some reason. I guess just because so many scenes end with Tony giving someone some cash, and the way he paused for a second and sort of fiddled near his pocket lol
@@hansolo631then at the end we realize he was just too excited to go home and eat some gabagool 😂😂
The way Tony talked to Vito Jr. reminds me when my old man back in 1999 sat next to me while I was in bed and basically told me "playtime" is over, no you step up to the plate and either go to college or get a job and start paying some bills.
I will always thank him for that because that day stills means alot to me specially now me being a father and a husband.
I had a similar experience with my dad. Except he said "Go home and get your fuckin' shinebox".
It's odd seeing a depiction of Louie CK's life when he was 15.
"Carlo Jnr"
LMFAO
Vito Jr is in so much pain that he is not afraid of Tony at atll. He would not mind if Tony introduced him to the glass window. The kid is deeply hurt.
I find it amazing that Tony Soprano a man who sees a psychologist cannot realize this kid needs psychological counseling at the very least.
Whatever happened to Gary cooper that’s what I’d like to know
0:01 - 0:11 I love how they give just enough details for the audience to imagine a scene, but not enough to give it all away.. great writing
If that scene had gone into further detail into Vito Jr.’s recent act of delinquency, it would end up breaking the “show, don’t tell” rule.
"im not some social worker"
I love when tony goes “oh you’re being funny...... that’s good” you can see him nearly lose it
Should have titled it "Tony and a Portorican hooah" have a talk
"Sometimes you call me Parade Float Jr."
"You knock this weird shit off or I'm gonna introduce you to a plate glass window..."
When he said butt buddies you could see Tony have that quick surge of rage. Damn Gandolfini was good
