i agree, but in this case the fact that he’s old means he has nothing to lose pretty much and if he did get popped for it he already lived his life and he is dying of cancer no need to put a earner at risk when there is better options
I'd say Ralph's intent here is not to be helpful. He is deliberately undermining his capo in front of the boss and the underboss of a NY family, because he wants the position for himself.
@@homesteadchrish3107 yeah but the odds were pretty stacked against them still. Even junior realizes it’s a gamble to put a dying man against a younger man who’s just a psycho. Made for a really cool scene though!
@@sergiomendoza4850 He's the guys Godfather meaning he could get close without ANY suspicion, and he's done it a million times-if the other guy doesn't come waltzing on in Mustang's brains are blown out all in the sink and the hit goes perfect, and had he not drop the inhaler *or start smoking cigarettes lol but that's kinda understandable* he's gone Scott free. Junior's entire line of thinking was: If he doesn't go on that hit then he'll die from cancer, and then God will spare me. It had nothing to do with it "being a gamble" or even that he was a sick old man, "What's this we're in the Navy now?!" Credit where it's due too, that old dog could still hunt 👀
He didn’t hear it from me Ton........hey Paulie, make it more obvious that you run your mouth too much and it’s gonna cause some shit between Ralph and Johnny Sac
nikos M. Same with johnny sack and tony walking through a store, discussing mob business within earshot of store customers in a different episode. Or pussy and his FBI handler discussing informing and other mob business as they walked through a store.
they didn’t plan a hit ... it was already planned but you know the storyline so you put the pieces together.... all that was said is “ i hear your bringing old man bacala out of retirement “ if you over heard that would you assume they was discussing murder ?

@@GoGetYourShinebox What??? EVERYONE’S GOT AN OPINION NOW??!!! You know it wasn’t long ago I remember you used to wait in the car.. AND AS FAR AS I’M CONCERNED, YOU SHOULD STILL BE THERE!!!
One thing I find interesting about this scene is that Johnny Sack is playing into the whole "Jersey mob is just a glorified crew" thing by asking Tony about decisions he is making as boss, like the New York guys have to make it a point to ask in front of everyone why Tony is approving certain things. Obviously the Soprano Crews and NY have "long standing ties" but Philly Leotardo isn't the only one who disrespects Tony and the Jersey mob - The NY guys act like the Jersey guys are second rate idiots and they feel like they have to question everything Tony does.
The only downside of Old man Baccala going in there was that it was clearly a suicide mission for a dying man that everyone loved. Especially,Bobby. But what an episode. It ranks right up there with Pine Barrens
I like how Tony always sits back and lets everyone say what they have to say, he never interrupts anyone when they talk. After he hears what everyone has to say, he gives his answer. Real boss mentality.
@@svenskakrigare9543 yeah he didnt want to listen to there personal stuff but business he would let me them talk then after it he would then deal with it
1:34 Ralph obviously is in awe that Tony is the boss and wants his approval so badly. He deeply cares about what Tony thinks of him, and when he feel's rejected it's even worse because he lashes out. The problem is his desire to impress Tony and be on his level reveals what a psycho he truly is. 'With him conscious'. At the fucking table. Everyone falling silent at how much of a twisted freak he really is. Ralphie was the purest anti-social personality in the whole show, part Tommy DiSimone part Ted Bundy. Had to go.
I like how they show Gigi being polite with the waitress, so a second later when he starts getting into it with Ralph, you know he’s actually a calm and reasonable guy, he just doesn’t like Ralph lol.
If only Gigi hadn't died of rectum combustion while trying to take a crap in a potty. He would have clipped Ralph in secrecy for chastising him like a miserabile. What a sin Ralph is made capo and takes over Gigi's crew after his demise.
I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say I wish so badly they let Ralph do this hit... or any hit for that matter. Old man Baccala was a G but always wanted to see Ralph in some action
Jared Lincoln lol i agree but the whole thing was the element of suprise with baccala but then again mustang was still paranoid hence “LIKE AN OLD FUCKIN MAN” 😂😂😂😂
I agree the only time we really get to see some of Ralph's hand to hand combat skills and his craziness is when he is swinging that chain around at that bouncer because he just saw the movie Gladiator .
The best part is that he either butchers all quotes from the movie, or straight up invents them. Nowhere in Gladiator the line "I've come to reclaim Rome for my people" is ever uttered.
"I'll take this guy apart at the joints. Conscious". Whatever Ralph. 1. Your name is Ralph. 2. The only people we ever see you rough up are Georgie accidentally, and then Tracey (after killing Tracey Tony bitchslaps you). 3. Are you going to whack Mustang Sally in that ridiculous Speedo you were wearing when you almost got whacked in Miami? Ralph is the 95 pound mole.
God, I hated Ralph. Joe Pantoliano did an amazing job at making me hate that character. I wanted him dead so badly. When Tony finally takes him out I loved it.
I love how you see the drinks in their glasses shaking as they hit the bang on the table. reminds me of when Tony and Paulie are on the boat in miami and the boat is rocking up and down drastically like it has to do with the tension between the characters on the screen
Actually, he has at least one role...it’s the first I ever saw him in. He plays Ritchie Valens’ manager in 1987’s “La Bamba”...honestly not a douchebag in that part.
"I'll take this guy apart at the joints, with him conscious" Imagine saying something like that in a crowded restaurant, Ralph never was one for keeping things lowkey....
It also shows how psychopathic he was. Yeah the guy he was going after was a scumbag but Ralph wanted to do it for the acclaim, didn't give a shit about what he did.
@@xxczerxx everyone at the table was a psychopath! They're calmly talking about murder in a grisly manner. One guy's saying let me do it, please please! And Gigi nonchalantly asks the waitress for more water!🤣
@Spike Vaccyanide that's never confirmed... Ralph screams at the top of his lungs "NO... I DID NOT!!!!" while they are in their final heated argument... If he did it he probably would have screamed "YES I KILLED IT, F YOU!" And Ralph rub Tony and everyone else the wrong way, but alot of people in the crew liked him, and he was a top earner, and a soldier. Killing him over a horse weakened Tony's crew 🤷🏾♂️ and it shouldn't have happened cause they fell out or because Tony didn't like him... Like wtf 😂
@Spike Vaccyanide I hear you man... Ralph was a mess and wasn't a good person. Pretty much none of them were. That's the brilliance of the show, making you root for and also some how despise various characters who are all basically just different shades of the same lowlife scumbag. Ralph killed someone and we hate him for it, and Tony kills Chris and it's like everyone is like 🤷🏾♂️... They were all bad people. The thing about Ralph is, he wasn't in denial and still operated within the rules of the Mafia which speaks positively to him. Other characters broke rules, hit made guys, killed made guys, and on and on, anddd were totally in denial about being the bad guys. I rewatched the fight scene between him and Tony and I think looking at the words Ralph says, the shock and confusion of him being accused of killing the horse, I think it's clear he didn't do it. But either way, it's never confirmed, and that and him being annoying doesn't seem like a like it justifies Tony killing him and everyone else knew that. To answer your other question. I think there are a few scenes of him being looked at positively by the crew. One is him when he is talking about turning down the drink with Tony to Eugene and Vito, Eugene defends Ralphs actions and say Tony should apologize. Another is Albert Barese talking to Sil, he says Tony shouldn't have killed Ralph over a horse, defending Ralph. And the Gina Sack joke when everyone is laughing, little Paulie goes on to say how funny a joke it was. There are probably tons. Don't get me wrong, he was a mess. But they all seemed to have fairly strained relationships with each other anyway
@@SankofaNYC True, the war with NY would’ve gone totally different if Christopher, Ralph, and Blundetto were around. Tony always hated Ralph from the beginning just for the hell of it. Basically everybody was telling Tony to ease up on Ralph except for Paulie. Then after he got whacked, you can tell everybody knew it was Tony. I think that’s why he called Christopher to help clean him up bc he knew he’s the only one that wouldn’t spread the news except to somebody like Adriana.
Getting rid of Ralph was a good decision, but too late. Every time he's involved, there's a big incident with another guy. He may be a good earner but he wasn't good to have around. Too many smartass comments from him.
I like how, if there’s ever a tense exchange while eating, the one who got pissed off and reminds the others of their position (usually Tony if he’s in the scene), it’s punctuated by much angrier and aggressive eating.
Of all places, huh? They're nothing but schmucks. You'd think there's a chance the restaurant is wired for sound by the Feds, like in Green Grove, where a secret recording was set up of Livia and Junior about to make a hit on Tony.
I like Johnny Sack, but he should have never, EVER brought that shit up like that. Unless he was deliberately being snakey and trying to cause some dissention with Tony's Crew. Glad Tony checked him.
What did Tony mean when he said at the beginning of the scene "what, skateboards aren't enough?" In response to Ralph saying you could hear chariots in his room with surround sound.....it did not make any sense to me....what did I miss?
Ralph has an adolescent son named Jason as you can see in later episodes from this . He was referring to all the noise the kid makes in the house isnt enough for him already .

Tony ate like he hated it.
When Tony eats pasta its 20 hits at the plate for one bite...
Lol always... In any scene with pasta lol.. It makes for a good "we are really eating" type vibe though

Of all places, huh? They're nothing but schmucks. You'd think there's a chance the restaurant is wired for sound by the Feds, like in Green Grove, where a secret recording was set up of Livia and Junior about to make a hit on Tony.
Tbf its owned by Tony's good friend and all MOB guys hang out there and everyone knows better than to open their mouths.
That girl in the background is super hot. I need her in my life.
Tony: anybody ask for your input.
*paulie asks him what like 3 seconds before hand*
*Anybody important
"He didn't hear it from me, Ton."
Yeah, you just tell jokes to Johnny Sack.
Pauly would be safer and even better informing instead of gossiping.
So Tony went from not talking some simple street biz with Richie in front of Satriale's to talking hits at Nuovo Vesuvio? Odd.
I like Johnny Sack, but he should have never, EVER brought that shit up like that. Unless he was deliberately being snakey and trying to cause some dissention with Tony's Crew. Glad Tony checked him.
"Shine box is good tonight."
Loved Gigi what a legend.
Should have got kept on the show longer looked the part as well 👌
I agree! They let the poor guy die taking a shit
They got rid of anyone who looked more G than Tony.
well when ya gotta go, ya gotta go.
Funny thing, Ralph was in fact taken apart at the joints...
Ralph's days are numbered after this. Tony just needed an excuse, and that mouth on Ralph obliged as usual.
Old man Baccala
Ralph clearly well coked up here which explains why he's talking loudly (with mostly nonsense comments)
Tony and gigi pissed because they know they're wrong for making that old man do that hit
Wow he's so fn obnoxious! Time to go watch the clip now where Tony chokes him to💀 for wacking the 🐎🤗😉
What did Tony mean when he said at the beginning of the scene "what, skateboards aren't enough?" In response to Ralph saying you could hear chariots in his room with surround sound.....it did not make any sense to me....what did I miss?
Ralph has an adolescent son named Jason as you can see in later episodes from this . He was referring to all the noise the kid makes in the house isnt enough for him already .
I doubt a guy could mouth off to his captain like that all the time. Big time disrespect to family and ultimately to Tony.
The fuck he was just, everyone's got a god damn opinion?
That laugh from Ralph after agony says “skateboards not enough” cracks me up.
GIGI hated Ralph with a passion 😆
Ralph would speak at his own funeral if he could
Tony and Gigi should have put Ralph and Johnny In the Hudson River immediately after supper.
"Anybody ask for your input?" "Paulie literally just asked."
Fun fact. The store shown at the very end of the clip, Fountains of Wayne, inspired the name of the band Fountains of Wayne.
Thank you
Always wondered why Tone approved an old man to wax Mustang Sally. That was never explained.
Because the old man was his Godfather, so he could get close to him, without arousing suspicion
'Whats he going to do GUM the guy to death?'
Ralphie clearly didn't understand how ruthless Jr could be.
Just look at Brendan.
to be fair we would have loved to see Ralphie fuck up Mustang Sally
The fact they’re discussing this in a restaurant (which is Vesuvios, granted) makes me laugh.
Hilarious the way they argue and get pissed off at each other then just casually go back to eating there supper no harm done to there appetite
Mustang Sally would have kicked Ralph's ass
