@@davidcassidy5868 Funniest part of the whole plot is that the Russian had the money ready and was so chill at first. He even offered them a drink. But Paulie couldn't help but screw things up.
@@PatrickPierceBateman I know, right. They could have been on their way fast and even had a glass of free booze to boot 😂 I guess the episode wouldnt have been as interesting though
Chrissy is covering for Paulie here. The Russian didn't lunge at Paulie. Paulie started it by needlessly antagonizing the guy by intentionally breaking his universal remote. Valery gave the money without batting an eye, but that wasn't enough. Paulie brought this all on himself.
You KNOW Paulie and Christopher where truely shaken and just so relieved to be rescued when neither of them made any cracks about Bobby's hunting outfit.
That simple line was to illustrate Tony's total frustration with Paulie. He fucked up collecting the money; then he goes to the Pine Barrens to bury the dude, and fucks that up. Then he gets his car stolen ( probably by the Russian), and loses the money, after all that aggravation. Now Tony looks in the rear view, and see his "Captain" with mayonnaise on his chin, like a small child or feeble adult that can't even eat a fucking sandwich right. Total, absolute, frustration.
@@ronyeahright9536 Once read a review where someone pointed out that Tony is literally pointing out to Paulie that he has egg (mayonnaise) on his face (chin) - great bit of writing. This is the turning point where Tony stops viewing Paulie as an invaluable asset and more of a goofy old guy
There is huge debate about Italians hatred for mayonnaise on this show. My take it that mayonnaise is French cuisine. Italians probably hate the French for some reason. Did they ever go to war with each other?.. I'm curious.
@@Professor__Sthey fought when Italy was still a bunch of kingdoms, then they fought in WW2 and I'm sure other times too. They conquered Gaul (today's France) in Roman times. I'm Italian and I hate mayonnaise, ketchup and anything with vinegar in it. Blegh
Love Paulie's pause when Tony asks him what they should do. He knows exactly what his answer is but he needs to take at least 5-10 seconds to make it look like he's deeply questioning the decision.
RIP Tony Sirico. This was such an iconic role but that last shot of him looking at the barrens flying by through the window and ruminating on how things went so wrong is probably the best acting moment for him in one of the best episodes of the series.
He gave them an unimaginably simple job to do, pick up a money envelope. Instead, through massive incompetence, they have created an incredible mess. Short, medium, and long term.
Easily my favorite episode. My wife (God rest her soul) and I laughed our asses off when we watched it. We were quoting the lines for the next month. "Mix the ketchup with the relish". Damn, I miss her so much. "Are those tic tacs? Gimme some. I ate em all. You selfish prick!"
I’m by your side brother. Lost my wife to cancer this summer. Hands down this was our favourite tv series. Great memories. Life is precious as we both well know. 💪
And how he caringly put mayo on the sandwiches instead of just hurriedly slapping some meat between the bread and rushing out of the door like most of us would have done.
It's when Tony says to him: YOU have MAYONNAISE on your chin, MAYONNAISE, MAYONNAISE Pauly knows Tony still treats him as a child and not an equal. These subtle but KEY moments that each character has is why The SOPRANOS is, and ALWAYS WILL BE THE BEST DRAMA SERIES.... it's not tv...it's HBO)
Chase said that camera angle was coincidental and didn't mean it was the russian up there. And fvck the Russians, look at the Ukrainians embarrassing them after all their big talk. Putin claiming they were the toughest army in the world and they can't even finish off a third rate army.
@jotarokujo5132 yeah Stalin stated they would be up shit creek if it wasn't for the Americans and their huge resources constantly sent to them. The massive soviet counterattacks never would have happened and they would be lucky to achieve a stalemate.
If Paulie was smart he would have offered to pay Tony the 5 grand out of his own personal fund. It would have made things right. But of course Paulie is a selfish prick.
To me, this scene justifies the disgruntled attitude the Capos had towards Tony during the Blundetto crisis and more precisely what Sil tells Tony about only doing it because “he doesn’t want to eat shit from John.” Tony in this scene says if it resurfaces it’s Paulies problem whereas when Blundetto messes up they have to “deal with it as a family.”
It’s two completely different situations! Paulie was an idi0t and started that right being disrespectful! Tony b actually has a good reason, they murdered his best friend !
@@TheBaBaTV Still, Tony didn’t enforce adequate discipline after Paulie made the mistake. His whole passive attitude in combination with his unpredictable outbursts/temperament left his guys constantly guessing where they stood with him. If Tony was more connected with his people instead of sitting alone thinking about his life, blowing his spoils on mistresses/luxury instead of making moves for organization to expand (like a boss is supposed to do) - Paulie would know better than to f**k around like that. I think OP was inferring that this was the first sign of his passive attitude as boss, which led to a sort of ‘Every earner for himself’ atmosphere and ultimately, the downfall of his organization.
That simple line was to illustrate Tony's total frustration with Paulie. He fucked up collecting the money; then he goes to the Pine Barrens to bury the dude, and fucks that up.

He's right, check the statistics. Unless Paulie or Chris seen his dead body, guy could have been alive. Btw, that's how it was planned to play out, Valery was supposed to show up in the background of Tony's meeting with Russians, mopping the floor and not being able to talk - but they felt leaving it as mystery was a better choice.
Apparently there was another scene written later on in the show with Valery returning. The scene was to depict the guys going to see Slava at his office, with Valery sweeping the floor. Christopher and Tony walk in, and Valery doesn’t recognize Chris. The idea was that Valery survives and makes it out, but because of his brain damage he doesn’t remember what happened
That's not it. Tony Sirico is quoted saying that they were supposed to shoot a scene in the bing where Chris and Paulie are talking about the Russian and wondering where he went, then they go outside and he's standing right there on the street corner and they whack him. But they decided not to shoot the scene at the last minute.
@@colderplasma then there were multiple ideas because Imperioli said what I said on a podcast. They at one point wanted Valery to have amnesia and not remember the whole thing
I thought the proposed scene was that he was a zombie that turned up at Bada Bing's seeking brains but, finding only George Santorelli, gave up and left only with a dusty old shinebox labelled "for the Shah of Iran".
Having seen the series 3 times my favorite thing to do is to watch these clips. I think I'm addicted. And after all these years I see each character in a different light. How can one show be so special and dear to me. Gotta get a grip lol
I typed similar comment with same time stamp... easily funniest part of that scene, Chris looking like a starving, freezing child ripping into that sandwich lol
Hands down the best episode of the entire series. The Czechoslovakian killing hitman/interior decorator to Chrissie poetically saying his house looked like shit and Paulie with 1 shoe 😂😂absolutely tremendous writing beautifully portrayed by outstanding actors
I believe Steve Buscemi directed this episode and may have writing credits on it too. I think that explains why it has such a Coen Brothers feel to it.
~Not eating for 24 hours~ The world: "Ah well, not so bad" Italians: Dramatically cry, lose their orientation, lose pieces of clothing and try to kill each other.
It's easy to criticize Paulie for taking the risk of just going home, knowing he himself might be whacked if the Russian ever turns up again. But then again, anyone who's gotten turned around and lost in the woods, knows just how horrifying that feeling is. Add to that, at night, in freezing weather, without food, water and proper clothing, TOTALLY understands his decision. lol
I was 100% expecting the episode to end with the interior decorator running out into the middle of the road with a huge gash in his head trying to flag down Tony for a ride only to get run over
Nah, Tony would have sat him in the back of the car next to Chris and Paulie and took them all back to the city in total silence like a typical parent does when dealing with his misbehaved children. Then he would drop Valery at Slava's office and they would discuss how to punish their unruly youngsters.
Chris protecting Paulie and all he got in return was grief from Paulie. He deserves to feel bad about how he treated Christopher after he was killed by Tony.
@@michaelgraham9774 Tony looked concerned about Chrissy’s head when they first caught up, but figured, he’s clearly not dying, so, eh. Could give two shits about Paulie, though.
This episode is legend, and provides the what if moment that has existed for fans since it aired. I remember even then years ago, wondering how it would all come back to them? when? Will Paulie recognize it? Really this episode provides that character we all wish we had managed to see again, even briefly. Alas, the mayonnaise on Paulie's chin never returned.
What's great about it is how true it is to life. In life, it's not like the movies where there's neat wrapups at the end of the episode or even the whole series. We don't know what happened to The Russian and the mobsters often don't know if something they did in the past due to some slipup will come to haunt them either. They live with the uncertainty.
With Steve Buscemi as director, all you'll get is a 100% classic film! Great episode. Btw I love how the Russian was left as a living question mark. Personally I hope he got away. He earned it. Hats off to Michael and Tony also! I feel like im in Siberia watching this episode with how well they act being cold.
@@stayhungry1503 lol they had heaters, warm food and trailers filled to the brim with comfort items off camera. Sure the shooting was done in real snow, I was just mentioning that they really made it look like they were in freezing dire straights
They left the Russian's fate unknown because it wasn't important. He was just a minor supporting character that they used to show the relationship nature between Paulie and Chris. In one of the interviews David Chase said that he was sick and tired of people who are too hung up on the Russian and what happened to him. Chase said that the Russian guy's stoty arc was of very little importance to him.
love that last scene with that opera song playing in the background and Paulie staring out the window. a true bliss inside of himself. - SOURCE - "Sposa son disprezzata" ("I am wife and I am scorned") from the opera La Merope by Geminiano Giacomelli, sung by Cecilia Bartoli.
Slava had the last laugh. The story of the car going missing was to indicate that he survived, made his way back to the car and drove off with the money.
2:31 When Tony asks Paulie what he wants to do, then looks over at Chris eating the sandwich looking like a starving child, I lose it every time.....
So good lmao
Yeah, 🤣🤣🤣🤣 as if Chrissy is telepathically going “please say no”

It was an honest opinion. Bobby was saying, flesh wound 50% dead, headshot 90% dead, or whatever

Nah, Tony would have sat him in the back of the car next to Chris and Paulie and took them all back to the city in total silence like a typical parent does when dealing with his misbehaved children. Then he would drop Valery at Slava's office and they would discuss how to punish their unruly youngsters.
Chris protecting Paulie and all he got in return was grief from Paulie. He deserves to feel bad about how he treated Christopher after he was killed by Tony.
Rip paulie ♥️
I remember the first time I watched this scene I really felt like I’d been in the cold woods for hours and finally hopped in a hot car
One of the best endings in Tv history for a episode.
This episode was hilarious. One of my favorites.
"forget it" with a smiling face from TONY!!! you don't really have to be a rocket scientist or read between the lines
ONE OF THE BEST FUNNIEST EPISODES!
That closing theme song tho, you sensed it's going to get darker 💯
Best episode by a country mile.
Absolutely hilarious 😂
And I love when Paulie looks at Tony and he looks him! "Mayonessie...Oh God...forget it...."
One of a few times the guys were genuinely concerned about each other
Not on Tony's end. Tony only asked about the money and whether or not the Russian was dead when he found them. Never once asked about their injuries
@@michaelgraham9774 Tony looked concerned about Chrissy’s head when they first caught up, but figured, he’s clearly not dying, so, eh. Could give two shits about Paulie, though.
Best episode of TV ever. Unbeatable.
What a brilliant episode that was and the opera just goes so well with that winter wilderness.
This episode is legend, and provides the what if moment that has existed for fans since it aired. I remember even then years ago, wondering how it would all come back to them? when? Will Paulie recognize it? Really this episode provides that character we all wish we had managed to see again, even briefly. Alas, the mayonnaise on Paulie's chin never returned.
Walt fuckin’ Whitman ova’ here!!
ha i see what u did there
@@seethemore6360 Ohhhhh! Hey I don't go cooking no blue menthol I have standards!
What's great about it is how true it is to life. In life, it's not like the movies where there's neat wrapups at the end of the episode or even the whole series. We don't know what happened to The Russian and the mobsters often don't know if something they did in the past due to some slipup will come to haunt them either. They live with the uncertainty.
With Steve Buscemi as director, all you'll get is a 100% classic film! Great episode. Btw I love how the Russian was left as a living question mark. Personally I hope he got away. He earned it.
Hats off to Michael and Tony also! I feel like im in Siberia watching this episode with how well they act being cold.
they didnt have to act much it was actually quite cold
@@stayhungry1503 lol they had heaters, warm food and trailers filled to the brim with comfort items off camera. Sure the shooting was done in real snow, I was just mentioning that they really made it look like they were in freezing dire straights
Russian was found unconscious by a boy scout and got help. Think he lost his memory though
They left the Russian's fate unknown because it wasn't important. He was just a minor supporting character that they used to show the relationship nature between Paulie and Chris. In one of the interviews David Chase said that he was sick and tired of people who are too hung up on the Russian and what happened to him. Chase said that the Russian guy's stoty arc was of very little importance to him.
@@ericsmith6315 well serrico was constantly complaining about how cold he was though
love that last scene with that opera song playing in the background and Paulie staring out the window. a true bliss inside of himself.

"Sposa son disprezzata" ("I am wife and I am scorned") from the opera La Merope by Geminiano Giacomelli, sung by Cecilia Bartoli.
Great cinematography and brilliant editing Inside the car.
Paulie lost all of his reputation in Christophers eyes in this episode. Just the look Chris gave him at the mayonnaise incident... 😅
Still laughing about this in 2023 😂 rip tony and Pauline
And the moral of this clip is, without a cellphone they would never have been found
Just another example of Paulie costing Tony a bunch of money for absolutely no good reason! Smh.
One of the best episodes in the series.
Slava had the last laugh. The story of the car going missing was to indicate that he survived, made his way back to the car and drove off with the money.
They filmed this in Harriman state park in rockland/orange county ny by lake tiroati. The look on paulies face as they are leaving is priceless.
They did such a great job with hair and makeup making them look the part .....
Paulie looks like an evil clown in that last shot.
