It's also quite revealing of Christopher's insecurities (as well as foreshadowing him threatening to "reveal all" about the mafia), the idea he could only act and play a character if it's an idealised, more successful and more "cool" version of himself
This scene is shot so well.. I love the fact that Jon and his assistant are so interested in hearing the story and then by the end when he hears how fucked up and real shit really is, he has a look of disgust and almost wishes he had never heard the story..

The movies only show the romanticized version of these men’s lives. Even in the movies when they show hits we don’t smell the gunpowder’s or feel the blood spray on our clothes and face or even smell the dead body. Real life will always be darker and more disturbing then what we see in the comfort of our homes on the tv.
This is classic. Chris finishes his nasty story then takes a bite of pizza. And the very hot red head seems to be even more turned on at the end of the scene.
He has ASPD, not sociopathy first of all. Secondly this scene is not a good example to prove his sociopathy. I can hear a story like while eating and not flinch or lose my appetite.
love the use of Fleetwood Mac's Rhiannon as Chris tells the story. They always selected the best music to match their scenes, even if it was just in the background.
all the times i've seen this scene over and i've only just noticed rhiannon playing in the background! it's in my top 3 favourite songs of all time too!
I had to crank up some Steve Miller because of Swingtown playing. Didn't notice the Mac, but love them, too. (especially Stevie in her prime...BOOOOOINNNNG!)
The guy who threw the acid was Joey Cipollini. When Christopher is in Amy's hotel room and reads the script with the story in it, he flips out and says it was Joey Cipollini's story.
@@SuCKeRPunCH187 Yea, i figured it was silvio too. When him an tony are walking outside.. He mentions that his wish is too throw acid on johns face. Silvio"s sin to destroy is using acid as his tatse an desires on his enimies. Silvio acid dante......
And I don't think we ever met this Joey Cipollini. Then again, Chris was already an associate in 1995 judging by the season 3 flashback, so he has probably seen a few people come and go in that time.
It was about Silvio. Neither Puss or Paulie had an eye for T&A. We saw Paulie with some skanks, and Puss isn’t pulling down any nice ass. Plus, Silvio mentions a few times in the series about throwing acid on people.
I always get chills when Rhiannon by Fleetwood Mac kicks on in the background when he starts telling the acid story, which means 1) I am a horrible human being and 2) this really is the best series ever.
No freaking way! I'm watching this episode right now and came to the RUclips clip to specifically to see if anyone else noticed! As fucked up as the story is, and that he calls her a thing and a freak, be does not mis-gender her even once!
Yeah, I was taken aback by that as well, especially considering his reaction to Vito's sexuality couple of seasons later. Chris and Tony seem to be quite progressive on the inside, but they always hide in front of the other mobsters to fit into the "old school" narrative.
0:33 "…Right." I love that. The characters in the show don't pick up on that because they're just casually going about their lives, but to us, whose eyes are glued to the screen, it's clear Chrissy had no clue what the other guy was talking about. Still the best character show ever made.
Chris knew exactly what he was talking about he talks about the Godfather movies multiple times throughout the series ex at Jonny Sack’s daughter’s wedding, and the Mickey Palmice hit on his friend Brenden comparing it to Moe Greene
I find it funny that Chris enters the pizza place and says "Che vuoi" all slang like but that means "what do you want" like he's asking the pizza guy what he wants
I love how Favreau was a director with some street cred. And now he’s one of the architects of the biggest thing to happen in movies in the 21st century.

This has long been amongst my favourite scenes in The Sopranos. If you’re going to show someone a clip who has never seen this show. Show them this and I guarantee you will have the viewer wanting to watch more. This scene is near perfect. This episode also has AJ calling Nietzsche Nitch which is also absolutely hilarious as he discovers existentialism.
"Coconut slice" was an incredible role in the Sopranos, way more than John F. I wish "Coke and slice" I mean coconut slice was taking further. It was my fav......
This is obviously from before Chrissy was a made man, because Favreau and Alicia Witt have to order Coke instead of soft drinks of choice.
