Boardwalk Empire Best Scene Season 5 Episode 3

- Nucky Thompson's scene with Joseph Kennedy on top of Nucky's club in Atlantic City is one of the best written scenes in this show. This season has been a pleasure to watch so far. Only four Episodes LEFT!

For anyone who didn't get the title, Nucky was trying to seduce Joe into making a big liquor deal in earlier scenes. When they ate together, Nucky turned away wine because Joe didn't want to drink with him. A good boy on his best behaviour trying to make a good impression.
What Nucky didn't realise was that Joe was onto him the whole time and this scene shows his awareness of Nucky's business tactics as Joe lays a glass of liquor in front of him as if to say, "I see you plain and clearly Nucky Thompson".
It truly is a great scene. I've always told my friends who watched the show never to binge watch it as there are so many subtleties that take time to sink in and you miss them if you rush.
"I've always told my friends who watched the show never to binge watch it as there are so many subtleties that take time to sink in and you miss them if rush."
Good advice.
I love how all these guys drink liquor like apple juice.
They develop tolerance to it
it is apple juice
Stressful life
I’ve been like that. Gets easier the stronger your tolerance
When the water can give you yellow fever, you do what you have to do.
Joe was actually a cool guy. He hands Nucky that drink while basically saying he is going to go indulge in his own vice (the dancer Kitty) as if to let Nucky know that they really are not that different.
"Senator. You and I are apart of the same hypocrisy." - Michael Corleone.
* Points toy canon at you
It's true but don't ever think it applies to one's family.
The difference being that both the Senator and Joe Kennedy made their money legally. Immorally, but legally.
Here's my offer, Senator: nothing.

My credit good enough to buy you out?
Such a versatile actor. He's great for serious roles and comedic ones too.
Crazy eyes
@@gmove420 French fries and oreos, my favorite
@@antoniof1463 lmao. Yeah hes a great actor. I like him in just Bout everything
Best role he ever played...right here
Crazy to hear a man say he’s teaching JFK how to sail
Idk what's more of a power move, telling him he's going to have a drink, pouring it form him and giving it to him in his own place, or leaving the top off the bottle. Leaving the top off the bottle was the cherry on top, pun intended, like he was saying "you're going to have another" not you might, you're going to. And he left lol swag
Joe Kennedy is like the kind of person Nucky always tried to be:
With a big family
With lots of respect
With political connections
With a huge bussines empire
With lots of girls to fuck
With a big charge inside the goverment
But at the end Joe ends like Nucky, alone with all his riches with no family with all the money in this world but crippled, crying ingratitude from the world.
@I HATE RATS!!! Yeah then lost it, all his sons except one death.
@I HATE RATS!!! They’ll go down in folklore as the greatest reactive targets ever.
Wtf are y'all talking about. Joe created his legacy and it was well known for 2 generations after him. Who do you think inspires my name? 😂
@@alexmetal3525 the way he talked up his boys heroic deed in WW2 to get him into the Whitehouse along with a long list of other things...and America has the gall to accuse Russia of interfering in our election...when are quite adept at rigging them ourselves
He didn’t end up shot but then it all got fucked up by RFK jr
Joe Kennedy's only brother Francis died when he was 15 months old, but never let the truth get in the way of a good story
What a great scene this is. Nucky and Joe Kennedy, two legends
Two sleazy criminals who rigged the game to fleece average people.
Nucky is always asking who people really are before doing business with them. And they give legit answers. Here? Nucky is finally asked the question from someone he wants to do business with, and he's got nothing. Absolutely nothing. He has no idea why he does what he does. He's empty
A smart man, especially a dude like Nucky, speaks minimally about himself, you dope.
That guy is a pompous douche with his rich kids from Nantucket, i would have paid just not to have the company of that clown let alone be his partner.
@@nickamenta12 Joe Kennedy was a few things, but I'm not sure if clown was one of them.
Joe Kennedy was a crook and a backstabber, there's a reason the Purple Gang put a bounty on his head
Isn't that the point of his character?
“and leave you free to have your drink”
Great Stuff
And he did leave something behind. A great TV series.
Hahaha
We truly appreciate neck, rothstien and the gang filming their affairs and leaving this treasure for us :D
Ironically dying after looking at the first tv, by Tommy.
Big difference between Joe and Nucky here. Joe talking about handing things down, "one generation, that's all it takes"; his whole frame is forward-thinking. Nucky talks about "leaving something behind", basically just wanting to leave a metaphorical headstone to his own achievement when he's gone.
Just to think, if only Nucky had a cahd or a drawring in his room... This would've went very differently
Nucky should have kept the lizard toy.
Very notable that the writers had Nucky's visitor talk about sailing "with his boys", but resisted the temptation to ever let on that "his boys" were John, Robert, and Teddy Kennedy (and Joe, jr.). That is sophisticated writing.... assuming intelligence on the part of the viewer to know that, rather than clubbing them over the head with it.
All too lacking in most Hollywood writing.
Absolutely right about that. Nowadays it’s MY SON WHO MAY BE A FUTURE LEADER 😂
Like, yes my guy, we get it. What OTHER Kennedy would it be!?
Terry Winter is probably the greatest writer of all times, The Sopranos and Boardwalk Empire

@@hereticlife2546 holy autism batman
First time I saw this, I laughed hysterically when nucky chugged the two drinks at the end of this scene. 😂😂😂 he was dying after no drinking all day with Joe kennedy
And Joe just hit him with a realization. He doesn’t know what he wants. All these years, all the money made, so many deaths, lives ruined, what was it all for? What was he working towards?
To forget being born poor and powerless
Nucky is wise. Never reveal yourself or your goals to outsiders. Only to those you trust absolutely and who are of your blood.
If you take a look at Joe Kennedy's life, you realize why people talk of the Kennedy curse. His oldest son Joe Jr. was meant to be his successor, the guy who was supposed to run for office one day to catapult the Kennedy family into the highest social classes. He was killed during the war in 1944. His next child was JFK and we all know what happened to him. His oldest daughter Rosemary had severe mental problems, her father arranged for her to get a lobotomy when she was in her early 20s and she was kept from the public and institutionalized for the rest of her life. His daughter Kathleen died in a plane crash in 1948 when she was just 28 years old. And finally Bobby Kennedy who was shot and killed in 1968. Joe Kennedy died in 1969, so he had to live trough all of those tragedies.
JFK Junior dies in a plane crash...
@@cocksure8430 Which was his own fault. Flying in marginal weather and not certified as an IFR pilot.
His youngest son Edward "Ted" Kennedy appeared to have avoided his family's tragedies.
They already married into British royalty, Peter Crawford non withstanding
@@cocksure8430we end up with Maria Shriver and RFk jr
charles king solomon was the boston big shot during prohibition. he worked with danny walsh of providence. these 2 were the big shots in new england during prohibition.
they were Jewish guys according to another vid called from jfk to 911. These men put a hit on him . He (I) believe unknowingly put his son's in dangers path especially when their main objective was to be nothing like their fathers associates or him in that sense. Tru White Catholic dudes that told the IMF/FR- screw you well print our own money without your high interest rate, Then slap one to the Bush family by airing down their op in South America . Bay Of Pigs.CIA Scam. He busted em up. The Mob was pissed . Because they took the hit off Father Joe for favors from his boy's that were coming up in politics. Dirty Games.

At the time Joe Kennedy was the tenth richest man in the country.
no way...not even in the top 50...but he had the extraordinary talent of being able to connect with people on all levels of society...communication skill and timing and a lot of luck

You should do a bit more research. Kennedy was indeed well into the top 10.
@@russellking9762
This show was so damned good. Even the use of the ‘chunky’ dancers. Perfection. Lots of poor folks, and being ‘chunky’ was a sign of wealth and virility.
In 1456 maybe....
Not during than! Naked women are naked women at the end of the day a lot men like a woman with a little of size to her
Any strip joint today has a couple of unattractive bigger girls...
Back then was no different
@Rocky C also great how by mirroring the opening of Season 4 it illustrates the short leash the mainstream gave to black entertainment and how transient work for those people was.
Chunky? Only 1 was at all overweight far as I could tell
enough with the best scene already, every scene seems to the best.
I second that

BOARDWALK > SOPRANOS in almost every way/category!!!!
That was the best comment.
@@petew.7870 Go get your shinebox
That scene breaks my heart every time... But I know I'm biased when it comes to Nucky.
Nucky was clearly an alcoholic! So much liquor but never drunk
Irony is the Kennedies were much higher levell gangsters.. They call them politicians,
Nucky was a broken man at the end. Kennedy had his number.
Yes always felt it was weak of nucky earlier to give up drinking because joe didnt like how irish were judged.
Wtf how the hell is one guy going to stop millions of people being unfairly stereo typed ha
How could he always be drinking whiskey like that and not be drunk all the time? If i drank two glasses like that id piss my pants and microwave my shoe
Then lets hope you never drink while wearing shoes
Thats becuz u r a pussy
Lol nice
@Chip Do not encourage anyone to "Smoked weed instead". Especially kids. Cannabis is harmful to children and generally smoking regularly while the brain is still in development (Sometime into the mid 20s) can cause irreversible damage to an individual's brain. Cannabis has good applications when used medically, and is a far less dangerous social / recreational drug than alcohol. But it isn't some miracle cure-all, and is definitely far from harmless. I don't mean to sound like a jerk, & I fully support the decriminalisation of cannabis, It just annoys me when people promote the drug as something it is not.
Hi!
Joseph Kennedy was the true Irish OG
Nary a fowtow, a cawd, a child’s drawring
The Kennedys were a beautiful nightmare.
“Is anything worth harpooning?”
Love this show’s writing.
Man I miss this show!!!
Joe Kennedy was out here striking deals with Mob bosses.
How do you think his son won the presidency?!
You have been my favorite actor since resavour dogs
this is my favorite deleted Tom Hanks scene from "Catch Me If You Can"
i had no idea whpo the other guy was soppose to be, but when he mentions sailing and the boston ascent, took me 2 seciond ot say i think that is joe kennedey
That's right. Pound it. Then have another. Fucking man style. What a brilliant show. From the characters to the story to the costuming. The details are brilliant in this. Mr Pink is the man!
3:06
Like father like son.
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Kennedys were always deceptive hypocrites. But we see the same now with the Clintons.
Democrats love their villains. It's a sickness with them.
He had no shame in that legacy--Joe Sr. apparently sat Jackie down before the marriage and explained to her that girls on the side would be part of the bargain.
@@firefightergoggie I could give you a speech about the republicans and the nature of power but i think you're too invested in the game already
First second I heard talk I knew it was joe Kennedy
Handing it down. Be like your part of something bigger. Why else do we do all this.
It's what your making it for ?
Nucky is so vulnerable, insecure....
And as this scene shows..... empty.
Nucky shoulda plugged him and saved a whole lotta shenanigans later on...😂😂😂
How about a plugged nickel?
My favorite HBO show. Wish they would do a sequel or one abput Al Capone.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Mr Pink didn’t tip those dancers ...
"They were okay, nothing special"
Tipping automatically? It’s for the birds
@t- milt 😆😆😆😆
I tried being a nucky when it comes to his whiskey, I tried having a glass here and there while talking to friends or whatever and seems like every time I’m on my 2nd glass I’m already drunk lmao
You need to build up a tolerance. Start by drinking alot, then when you have 1 or 2 glasses they wont have much effect.
@@guydelusignan4272 start by drinking a lot? Lol not trying to become an alcoholic over here
@@demam41 Trust me I'm a professional
@Piotr Dembowy nah don’t worry I know that was crappy advice haha
@@demam41 I'm just telling you what works. The more you drink the less effect the alcohol will have. If you develop a dependency on alcohol to function (an alcoholic) that is a different thing.
Inspired writing
Steve Buscemi's voice sounded like Charlie Sheen in this.
0:54
Nucky must be thinking: “I don’t think I needed my dad beating me, but go off I guess.”
What is the song in the background in the middle??? Busdriver samples it on Cosmic Cleavage
The world chico and everything in it
why is this the best scene? and to who?
Whom.
Someone who only saw this one scene from the entire series. It's not even the best scene from that episode.
Eobard went a bit too far back in time.
haha
Except that Joseph Kennedy's fahthah was also someone wealthy and in politics, PJ Kennedy. Nucky did not have such an upbringing. It is hardly a fair comparison given the advantages that Joseph Kennedy was born into.
Wait a minute this guy was killed by Toni in the Sopranos .
Love Boardwalk of Empire but they did this so we can think about his sons
???????WTF
#BryanBelcher: Just read your synopsis of the scene. Top marks for that comment. History tells us that one particular son of Joseph Kennedy would outdo his wildest dreams. Only to die like a gangster in public, next to his wife...😎🇵🇷🇺🇸📽🗽🦂
Why is joe kennedy always protrayed as a contriving gamer lol.. Money and winning lol
Because he was.. Pathe, pantages' fake rape and his deal with the mafia for West Virginia and Chicago.
Song in background being played does anyone know the name of it where I can find it please
@@gingerpeachy3044 your mom says differnt my friend
Wow, I thought that Joe Kennedy was an awesome person on this show from this scene alone. Then I watched the rest of season 5... He's a manipulator, con-artist, cheating, gambling, hitting on your wife right in front of you, pompous prick. I'm glad at the end of the season he tried to hit on Margret and she turned him down flat
Yep all the Kennedys we're perverts
Lol no shit Sherlock ...he had his hand in blood and guts ..why do u think his whole family is all exterminated ...
@@assiabenslimane2589 well JFK was trying to shit down the CIA and the Federal Reserve that might of had something to do with it
@@Das_Ginge don't forget the mob
Well, he did have his daughter (Rosemary Kennedy) lobotomized and hid her from the family afterwards.
Stinking Kennedies.
do people really think that this is the best scene in season 5 of boardwalk empire ?
Husam07 - quite you!
I don’t think so but I can’t think of another one right now so what do you think is the best scene?
Read the full title.
"Season 5 Episode 3."
Its a point inwhich nucky was seeing a person he couldve become if he had not chosen to be a gangster. Though reputation you gain, you gain more being straight than crooked as seen with kennedy. Nuckys insecurities grow and build up to this point, where a person who did it better than you, outdoing you in skill, business and "morals" and he has the right to ask you what you want as if he can give it to you directly, like if you need him. Nuckys response "i want to leave something behind" is all he can grasp at as kennedy disects his ambitions and reasons for getting rich. Nucky then plunges into another cup of alcohol as though hes swallowing pride, as kennedy leaves remarking about billie kent. Its a pretty good damn scene
@@aroveranalysis9978 I agree with most of what you say, but Joe Sr. was born to a wealthy Boston family involved in local politics. They still experienced discrimination for being Irish, but he had a lot of advantages growing up that Nucky never would have. I'm still not sure how I feel about this scene -- Joe pegs him as a low-class criminal and talks down to him as such but will ultimately be proven to eat his words when he sees how shrewd Nucky really is. Of course Joe Sr.'s sons will change the course of the 20th century and do an enormous amount to normalize the Irish in America.
Wait but does anybody get why this was the best scene ever. I think it takes a lot of life experience to understand why.
Id av loved to be born in the roaring 20ts the clothes everything says class
Well if you were born in the 1920's you probably wouldn't be old enough to enjoy any of it. Then you'd have to live through the Great Depression of the 30's - and suffer abject poverty. Then you would be ripe for the Draft in WWII. That would be a VERY full life!
careful what you wish for....Tuberculosis polio pneumonia were rife and there was no cure...and thats before you even put clothes on
is Nucky the real lost soul on the boardwalk….
This show always made me want to drink liquor and smoke 🚬
Do yourself a favor, dont lol
Then definitely don't watch Deadwood. Lol
Same lol
How was Kennedy “slow footed” there ? I didn’t get that part ..
Nucky brings up the deal while Kennedy was still talking about family. The same thing happens earlier when they are out to dinner. Kennedy is making a joke that Nucky likes getting straight to the point.
He wasn’t slow footed Nucky was
so if this is period correct do the dancers have bushes too? just asking for a friend

Kennedy-senior (quote): "NEVER BROKE A LAW IN HIS LIFE" ??? I beg to differ! :D ...as far as I know not only he was a major bootlegger, but also HEAVILY involved in (believe it or not!) - DOPE MONEY! - and he was makng business with gangsters ALL THE TIME! :D:D Moreover! - he also juiced the stock-market, with schemes that are very familiar even today! It was only thanks to his contacts with the "upper-echelons" of Wall Street that he retired all his stocks at almost "perfect timing" - even "too perfect", given the fact that only a couple of weeks later all the stocks collapsed. Fuckin' son of a bitch! Between the two HE was a much bigger crook that "Nucky" Johnson from A.C. (real life name of the character here presented as "THOMP-son"). :)

Not even close to a best scene....
If that was the best scene, glad I didn't watch it.
If this is the best scene, this show must suck
The show is all right until they started focusing too much on females relationships. Ruined the last couple seasons by doing that and they made Nucky basically a pussy towards the end and others. They all became weak and pathetic, whiny and lost all their money stupid show that started out great. Also the crap about women being abused and childhood memories you could just skip all those episodes they are awful.
This show laid my red-pill foundation for joining the Alt-Right.
