Silvio and Dr. Melfi were probably the only two people on the show who could really get through to Tony. They understood Tony in a way that not many other characters did, not even his wife.
How is Carmella marginalized [or overlooked] as a possible third counselor? All of the infidelity she was willing to overlook just to maintain the strong family structure [and she staying faithful until the fifth season]; being at Tony's side dealing with all of his panic attacks and hospital visits; going to therapy with him, etcetera..Tony really wasn't much closer to his wife than Pussy was to his wife. He saw her as a gold digger - as if she was incapable of anything more than producing offspring and taking her weekly allowance.
Hey when Sil was running things, he couldnt handle the pressure. Exactly like what Tony says here, Sil's third party talking doesnt mean much to the man on the hot seat.
The way Gandolfini flicks his cigar ashes when Silvio talks about the conversation getting difficult is such pure gold. No actor ever so fully-embodied their character as James Gandolfini did with Tony Soprano.
No other actor embodied their character as well as Gadolfini? Not Brando in Streetcar? Not Bogart in Maltese Falcon? Not Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs or Heath Ledger in Batman or Daniel Day-Lewis in Lincoln? Come on dude.
Chemical Ali wish someone showed Tony how to properly puff on a cigar. He just blows out like it's a cigarette. You're supposed to hold the smoke in your mouth and let the flavor linger in your mouth and let the smoke drift out. but oh, well.
I always loved that "all due respect" line. It was like your free pass to say whatever the fuck you wanted, including personal insults, being as crude or as cruel or as callous as you wanted to be, etc., but then you say, "all due respect" either before or after your rant, and it's all good. Hilarious.
Right? I'm sure if Ralphie had just taken the time to say "Ginny Sac is having a 95 lbs mole taken off her ass, all due respect" a lot of problems could've been avoided!
mikem987 I absolutely agree with that. I grew up in Ireland and men were men, no softness whatsoever, but, if someone had a real pop at you and followed it up with 'all due respect', there's nooo way that would have cooled the matter, it would be out on the cobbles and fists flying.
Syl was by far the most loyal (all the way to the end) to Tony. He never strayed, it seems the writers went out of their way to ensure it never even crossed his mind. No one could ever ask for a better counseler in any business, legit or otherwise. Fiercely loyal, always kept conversations between him and T private, and was smart enough to know when to counsel Tony even if it meant getting yelled at or put in the doghouse. Wish he did more acting...what an incredibly talented performer. Cars.
It's kind of sad that Silvio got flack about doing his job. He's consigliere of the Soprano family. I don't know much of anything about Cosa Nostra but I believe a consigliere is there to 'advise' on a situation before it goes awry and even to make peace with other families / factions if it does get ugly when necessary. Besides Silvio is Tony's oldest friend. The way Tony handled this was just heartless.
Mike C Tony reminds me here of the way Michael Corleone treated Tom Hagen in Godfather. Even though the man is the closest thing Tony has to a real friend, as well as his official mob consigliere (whose job is to give him hard advice), he STILL can't bring himself to treat him like a human being. Has to constantly remind him that there's only one Boss and don't you ever forget it and he'll snuff anybody who ever questions him. He comes off like a petty tyrant rather than a leader. It's like dealing with a child, honestly, and you can see that Silvio feels the same way as Tom Hagen: "this man is not my brother, he is not my friend, he is merely my boss, and my boss kills his employees on the regular without conscience or hesitation."
***** Yes but Tony HAS to be this way. In his line of work, if you show any sign weakness, even to those closest to you, all the respect they have for you is out the window. Even someone who has been your childhood friend. If your leadership is questioned in anyway, all the pieces crumble. It's situation where they were both right in their approach. Sil was right to give the advice he gave, but Tony was also right to respond the way he did.
Anthony Anderson Bullshit. True badasses rarely show emotion or speak at all, and they aren't threatened by effrontery or advice they think is stupid. They'd kill you like they'd zip their pants, but until they actually get to doing so, they just smile that funny way and their eyes have a certain "shotgun shine". Tony here is the opposite of that; he's just getting whiny and prickly like a little boy having an anxiety attack because his authoritah has been questioned. He doesn't look cool and boss-like; he looks like a mad kid attacking his mom for bringing him a bad report card. The consigliere position EXISTS so that somebody can be the bearer of bad news and criticism to the boss without getting his head lopped off in a hyper-violent macho environment like that. Tony is fucking with the system and being a bad mob boss. That's all there is to it. Correct badass response would have been (without even a shred of emotion) "Your advice has been noted, Sil. You're a good consigliere. But you don't have the whole picture, and I ain't changing shit. End of story. Now you're gonna say "Sure boss", I'm gonna smoke this cigar and you're gonna go downstairs and make me some money."
Love this scene. He's advised that his main fault is that he is too prideful, only to demonstrate it further with his reaction to advice from a trusted advisor. The last glance suggests to me that he knows Silvio is right, but that he'd never admit it. Perhaps the realization that he is not invulnerable too, given whats going on around him constantly.
He’s not prideful. Leotardo was seriously out of line in that situation. He pissed on Carmine by clipping two of his best guys. Tony’s mistake was negotiating with NY instead of contacting Carmine directly.
Part of what makes Tony Soprano the best character in TV history is his complexity. So many commenters say he's a prick or he's a hypocrite or he's prideful. Well, yeah, he is. And he's a bunch of other things, too. Never before has a character been drawn so richly, with such depth and so many contradictions. David Chase writes all his characters with many sides and flaws, even the minor players. But his masterpiece, embodied by the late, great, lamented James Gandolfini, is Tony Soprano. He's infuriating, he's funny, he's tender, he's loyal, he's violent, he's capable of tremendous love and blinding hate in the same second. There will never be another character or another actor like him.
Rico Pendejo I didn't mean to suggest that his loyalty was like yours or mine. I think he had a type of honour code which is loyalty, in a sense. He did live his life with certain "values", I guess. That's what I meant.
+Tassie G Really don't get what you mean!? His loyalty wasn't to his crew because he killed some and had some whacked or sent to prison,and he has cheated on carmela like every season who exactly was he loyal to??
Hearing this from Silvio, and then later seeing Paulie and the painting, is what made Tony finally realize "look, you need to take Tony out or let NY do it". Tony euthanized Tony B. and right after you can see how Bobby and the guys are happy with their boss again, getting him biali, etc. Great show. I love these guys. Tony and Sil had a real bond, and I love the parallel how when each one is in the hospital in a coma.
Silvio is basically saying, look, we don't want to go to war. Be an effective leader, or someone is gonna remove you from power. I think this was Silvio's attempt at giving Tony the warning.
Honestly I dont think he was saying that at all. He's saying that if he wants his people to be fully loyal, there's gotta be a little give and take. Anyone who thinks Tony not willing to drop a few bodies is out of their mind.
No in that specific scene Silivo was right and stole the show. Tony would never agree with him and take a look at his erratic and dysfunctional behavior. Tony was just like his Mother that sadistic Sociopath. As much as he hated her he got her genes. And his fathers brutality. What a combo. Tony should have been taken out by his own crew. Remember what he said to them? "Money rolls up hill and Shit rolls down Hill" in an episode. Should have been whacked right there. But none of them had the balls to go up against Tony.
@@MichaelGiordano777 which further adds to gandolfini being incredible. He created such a complex character here who was flawed and hypocritical and showed it realistically
Tony and Sil's bond was awesome. No matter what was said between the two, you can tell how much Tony respected and loved him. And Sil was loyal to the bone.
Tony is the epitome of a boss in this scene. You have to be fierce and show no weakness in other for those under you to respect you. Otherwise, they'll feel like they don't need you.
Yep. Take advice for what it is but don't let anyone see you doubt yourself. Tony and Carmine were the best imo at making a choice and sticking with it all the way. Phil had his moments but he was more driven by this existential slight he felt the universe put on him.
epitome of a bad boss you mean. fuck outta here. silvio warned tony that some stuff goes too far. not the first time either. tony got multiple warnings throughout theshow and because he is such a terrible boss, he got clipped for it. simple as that.
The epitome of a shit boss. Sil’s completely right in this scene and he knows it, yet he refuses to give an inch because of his personal pride and insecurity. People who idolize tony soprano as anything but an insecure cunt are missing the point completely
What I like about Silvio is that he is always there for Tony! Silvio and Tony really are best friends after Pussy and Tony's cousin Tony Blundetto. Tony and Silvio's friendship reminds me of a friendship who I have with a mentoring close friend who is a female and she is very nice and very counseling to me exactly like Silvio is to Tony! I always liked Silvio Dante throughout the series!
This is one of if not the only time in the show where Tony is pissed off at SIl in a serious way. The way he looks at Sil at the end reminds me of when he wants to fight or kill someone.
I'm glad you posted this scene...I thought I knew every minute of this series, but i didn't recall this meeting. Silvio comes off quite well here, and Tony doesn't. Of course Tony will end up going a different route with his cousin.
Never was i more struck of Tony Sopranos' resemblence to Al capone than in this scene. Both physically and in mannerism. I believe Capone always had a cigar stuck in his face. And it was used here by Tony to show comtempt for his closest friend Meadows line from another scene echoes back 'Listen to Mr Mob boss..' You better !
Silvio's analysis was correct. He was the right man for the job. Forgot how intense Toney was...yet he would in many cases end up listening. Part what made him a good Boss.
Truth be told, Tony's actions and attitude revolving his cousin's fate bled into the resulting casualties, including fatalities, in Tony's crew when Phil took the seat and it all came back.
Tony's deflective rebuttals here do not address what Sil's saying: the crew sees through his "reasons" for protecting his cousin no matter how hard he tried to spin it. Also, Sil ain't the only one who could get through to Tony; Mink could . . .
Tony saying he's completely alone in the end is true. He is, but he also isolated himself not because he's the boss, but because he wanted to. You don't have to be the boss and be alone. Jackie Aprile was the boss but still had Tony by his side as a friend. Tony choose his path and he's paying for it in the end- he looses all of his "friends" and stays alone, waiting for someone to wack him.
Yep Taken in NJ By NJ Police in an incident that happened outside a Nightclub where a Women Frank was with started yelling out RAPE for No fkn reason..1938.
Tonys temper, first time i watched this episode i really thought tony was going to punch him or pull out a gun. He hated being told he was wrong or what to do.
but sil was right Tony's stance was more about his ego and not wanting to give in than his love for tony b a big part was also his own guilt since he apparently blamed himself for not being with him that night because he passed out after arguing with his mama and not because he was jumped by two black guys 😒😒🙄🙄
*"Here's when a conversation gets... difficult."*
Silvio's great.
Tony and Silvio conversations are always pure gold.
SIKIOANGO a true friend until the end
Silvio and Dr. Melfi were probably the only two people on the show who could really get through to Tony. They understood Tony in a way that not many other characters did, not even his wife.

"you need me for anything else?"
* Tony answers with all due respect.
What a scene!
Tony saying he's completely alone in the end is true. He is, but he also isolated himself not because he's the boss, but because he wanted to. You don't have to be the boss and be alone. Jackie Aprile was the boss but still had Tony by his side as a friend. Tony choose his path and he's paying for it in the end- he looses all of his "friends" and stays alone, waiting for someone to wack him.
The mug is of Frank Sinatra, not Al Capone. How did you even make a guess that was Capone?
People are idiots lol
Yep Taken in NJ By NJ Police in an incident that happened outside a Nightclub where a Women Frank was with started yelling out RAPE for No fkn reason..1938.
The puff of smoke from Tony was effectively 'get lost'.
Gandolfini priceless scene. Mastery!
lol silvio sulks at the end.
I need to talk to you Ton. I’m gonna have to put my two weeks notice in.
"with all due respect..."
*Tony responds with the ash flip.
And after all was said, Sil still asks Tony if he's needed for anything else. Sil went to the mat for Tony at all costs. True to the end.
Tonys temper, first time i watched this episode i really thought tony was going to punch him or pull out a gun. He hated being told he was wrong or what to do.
the arrest black and white photo at :33, can anyone please name who that is? I always wondered.
Thanks
Ol' Blue Eyes, Frank Sinatra
thanks falloutck I feel dumb for asking
“Weary hangs the head that wears the crown.”
You need anything else? - "ooohh"
but sil was right Tony's stance was more about his ego and not wanting to give in than his love for tony b a big part was also his own guilt since he apparently blamed himself for not being with him that night because he passed out after arguing with his mama and not because he was jumped by two black guys 😒😒🙄🙄
Like a BOSS!
The mugshot behind Silvio is Frank Sinatra when he was 23.
