@@Mainlyeverything They both knew it was just business, Tony had to run things behind Junior's back, but he also knew Junior had to act when he found out about it.

Always thought they could have done a little more with Albert. But him not being around that often kind of tells you something of his character. He wasn’t going to get in the middle of any beefs that risked what he had.
Sometimes things that you hope and expect to happen often don't pan out the way we like. Surprises are always occurring. You never know what will happen with violent criminals with little impulse control.
Kinda like season one of Game of Thrones. A slow build to a Westeros vs. Dothraki fight, only Drogo dies of an infected boo-boo and Robert gets killed by a boar.
Live everyone else in the mafia. These, 'men of respect' had none. They respected nothing but how to enrich themselves. They would even turn on each other if it suited their purposes.
Junior’s an interesting character: he’s intelligent, experienced, perceptive( he new Christopher was a loose cannon from episode 1, constantly pointed out when Janice was causing shit, deduced that Livia manipulated him( though it’s not like she denied it), and correctly realized Tony was the safe play.) but at the same time his pride, narcissism and petty insecurities allow him to be easily manipulated . He would have been an excellent adviser or number 2, but the number one spot makes him to big headed, as season 1 showcased.
If Tony would’ve had both Junior AND Sil by his side, they would’ve been dominant. Problem also is tho, Tony was his own brand of fuckup that never could’ve built that structure under him.
Junior didn't go along with Richie because Albert turned Richie down. That told Junior that the capos didn't respect Richie. Junior figured he may as well gain some points with Tony by giving him the information.
***** Albert's Cousin Larry was a Capo. Richie was feeling out how they felt about getting rid of Tony. Albert said that with his Cousin's trial coming up Larry wants to play it safe. What he was really saying was "We have always made money with Tony as boss, but I don't know that you could do any better." Richie told Junior about this meeting and Junior realized that the Capos don't "Respect" Richie; and Junior then told Tony about what Richie was planning knowing that Tony will reward his loyalty with more "Income" for himself. (7.5% of the action up from 5%).
+Paul y Funny how Junior warned Richie about Albert being a slippery fuck but that counter move by Junior to bury Richie was such a good slippery fuck move that Richie never saw it coming.
+Anthony C Albert may have seemed like low level. He was a made guy and took over as acting captain of Larry Boys crew while he was a guest of the government. Richie himself said the Barese Crew was the biggest crew in the family. Too bad they introduce anybody else in the Barese Crew..I mean if "The parakeet" was temporarily skippering that crew there must have been some characters in that crew!
PeekaBooo08 I look at it like his purpose in life was to play Tony Soprano, he was literally born to play the role and once the Sopranos ended he returned to heaven because his purpose had been completed. I always loved him in other films tho but giving us Tony Soprano was his magnum opus.
@@ll2240 His purpose was to make that comment. And given he didn't reply I'm guessing hes now buried on a hill, over looking a little river, with pine cones all around. He returned to heaven because his purpose had been completed. His comment being his magnum opus.
“You gotta wonder where she is in all this, my little niece.” Another dagger in Tony’s consciousness when he realizes now three family members- mother, uncle and sister- have at some point conspired to have him whacked.
@@peterrose5322 Furio almost kills him by throwing him into the helicopter blades so he could be with Carmela and Patsy almost shoots him through his window in revenge for his brother but decides to piss in his pool instead. Christopher started to hate him but never wanted him dead but chances are if he lived any longer he probably would've either tried to kill him or he would've been flipped by the FBI.
It's important to remember that this was a sly, clever, extremely calculated decision on Junior's part. This meeting wasn't out of courtesy or respect to Tony, it was him taking stock of just how much of a loser Richie was in being unable to gain the capos approval. The show is so deliberately and perfectly written to suggest that Junior would have gladly gone along with Richie in moving against Tony had the meet been successful.
It blows my mind how complicated their relationship is. On one hand Tony see’s junior as a father to him, which in a lot of ways junior was Tony’s father, taking him to baseball games, playing catch with him it’s all there. On the other hand they’re complete business rivals who are at each other’s throats constantly for the first couple seasons. No wonder Tony had constant panic attacks, hes fighting with the man who he loves a a second father, while simultaneously fighting the woman his father married who also happens to be his mom lol.
I can kind of understand where Junior is coming from. He's made it to old age by being a conniving fuck, he's fighting for his own existence and because Tony is standing in his way. But his mother doing what she did was inexcusable, she was just f'ed in the head. Her son being boss was the best thing, and despite being a horrible mother he made sure she was looked after.
This is one of the finest acted scenes I've ever scene. There's a hundred different dynamics and conflicting emotions between these two men here. Brilliantly done by Gandolfini and Chianese.
Tony wasn't really smart in this instance, Junior had already tried to get rid of him before in season 1 but somehow Tony sincerely believed he was trying to bait Richie out, Tony as cynical as he is, I'm surprised he believed him
+Potato Sack Same reason Paul Castellano was chosen over Neal Delacrose.(May have spelled last name wrong) Most of that crew wanted Neal to take over but Paul was chosen instead. This led to John Gotti transgressing one of the most important rules and killing his own Family Boss. (Castellani)
+Andhaira I would love a full prequel series , with Johnny Boy, Junior, Dickie Moltisanti, Bobby Sr, and Feech La Manna all in their primes. Also would have to throw in Paulie as a young hood, and a younger Carmine showing up every now and then. Also at least one guest spot from Lou DiMaggio and the Atwell Avenue Boys "when they had their health"
Xavier Vega Nice call, but that probably makes too much sense. David Chase is fiscally motivated , God knows . I looked up his current project and I bet HBO wishes your idea came first, so do I.
Tony was always really good at that, i almost fell out of my chair rolling from laughter when he told Feech to stick to Dynaflows & McGuire Sisters or STFU!! 😂
Everyone was loyal to Jackie Sr because he kept everyone happy by sharing the wealth and not allowing members to rob each other. When he died with no successor, Tony and the capos set the stage for a fragile arrangement with Junior as boss and Tony as street boss- this destabilized the family because Junior was a selfish bastard who didn't have respect while Tony was alienated from some of the others like Richie and Ralphie, with Christopher in the picture people started pulling teeth and claiming each others' pieces of the pie. Literally everyone was loyal to Carmine Lupertazzi Sr, but the moment he died NY went into civil war mode until Phil won. Even then, Phil let his ego and hatred destroy a good business arrangement. It's hard to establish loyalty the moment the unifying figure is gone.
Brilliant scene. Gandolfini plays it so well. It’s understated but you can really feel his suspicions initially. See it in his eyes. Great feeling when he comes round. Always loved Jr.
D Sauce he was to me..even better on his bit parts from the movie GOTTI! Great actor...... hey, lets build a ramp up to his ass too, whadda yuh say guys?
Its true, And there are 2 reasons....Angelo and Joe demig from gotti became regulars on the sopranos. So #2-anyone who liked those guys in the sopranos would probabaly love the movie gotti. Its the connection. Plus I think the movie and the series fit so well.And truthfully, we are running out of mob movies. Anyone notice after the sopranos ended there hasnt been an epic mob movie made. I think they are history because all the new generation of gangsters are covert and down low. Scams instead of violence. So we are stuck with the same top 20 movies to watch and im getting sick of them. I watch the bios on each of the NY FAMILIES over and over because it takes me a week to go thru em. The iceman, roy demao,ron previte, joe pistone docs, and all those. But its getting old already. I just enjoy talking about the gotti movie because theres nothing to really watch on HBO anymore. I saw them all.
I wish the actor's performance had been acknowledged with an award. Apart from Tony (Gandolfini), I would say he was one of the better actors (not including actresses) on the show.
Richie clearly feared Tony because he knew he could be just as much a violent psycho as he could, but he knew Tony was smarter than him. Tony always had the reputation of being “boy wonder” so I think Richie went to Junior for help because Junior was known to be a clever and strategic captain. Problem is Junior used that same intelligence to betray Richie and get a better deal.
Junior is such a bad liar, as if he gives a fuck about Tony or his family. He just knows he's better off backing up Tony rather than Richie. He's basically a whipped dog at this point.
This is such an intense scene. I didn’t understand the significance until recently. Sopranos is such a complex and layered show, I love discovering stuff I never noticed before.
In my opinion Junior and Tony relationship is the best thing in this show. Such a complex relationship they love each other but play the game against each other time to time.
Obviously Junior's backpedaling and confabulating after the fact. Tony knows it and calls him on it, but then he decides he'll go along with appearances. Unspoken thoughts. Good writing.
The way Junior responded to the double agent line then turned around. The moment he thought Tony couldn't see him, he grinned. He knew what he was doing all along.
Tony: I’m grateful to you for saving my life. I’ll give you a 2.5% raise on your own business that I took from you that you spent your whole life building. Junior: Deal
He didn't save his life, he was trying to kill him for a second time and chickened out, and the 2.5% raise is literally 50% more than what he was getting before.
Albert would then be deemed untrustworthy by other capos for not keeping his mouth shut... even when it comes to a coup. Plus if he'd told Tony straight away he'd be seen as a "teacher's pet" trying to get on T's good side. I'd like to think Tony probably taxed him (off-screen), just as a slap in the wrist for not telling him.
Tony didn't like Junior for many reasons but he was the only guy he could talk to who knew what being a boss was like and the pressure that came with it. He needed him more than he'd admit.
I love the dynamic between these two while Junior is "still there" as you know Tony knows how that manipulation game works. He's not as outright narcissistic as Livia or Junior but he speaks the language and can still deep down accept his mother is a far more psychotic human being than even Junior is.
I loved when Junior called Tony "my little nephew", he was the only one who could belittle Tony without catching any flak. Plus he just played Tony, if Allie or Larry went along with it Junior def. would have gone along

To the bitter end, Tony had a soft spot for Uncle Junior.

Junior was more of a father to Tony than Johnny Boy.
He tried to have him killed.
Junior is the most transparent yet lovable person on this show
“ you’re fuxking high handed with everybody “
“ now why don’t you stick to what you know “ 😂😂
"and leave your opinions wherever the fuccck"
I'm in awe of Junior. He has the makings of a varsity gangster.
I just love how they use both rational and emotional arguments in order to persuade someone.
I love that it's as soon as he brings up Tony's family that Tony realizes he's serious and doing this to save him.
Richie clearly feared Tony because he knew he could be just as much a violent psycho as he could, but he knew Tony was smarter than him. Tony always had the reputation of being “boy wonder” so I think Richie went to Junior for help because Junior was known to be a clever and strategic captain. Problem is Junior used that same intelligence to betray Richie and get a better deal.
Corrado and Phil was the best straight old school OG'S in entire series. My fav
Junior is such a bad liar, as if he gives a fuck about Tony or his family. He just knows he's better off backing up Tony rather than Richie. He's basically a whipped dog at this point.
"oh, your like a double agent now huh? Like Matt Helm!" Classic.
Uncle Junior...... a legend. Gives off the appearance of a dundering Mr Magoo.....and more deadly than Darth Vader.
Old man in a profession of young men
This is such an intense scene. I didn’t understand the significance until recently. Sopranos is such a complex and layered show, I love discovering stuff I never noticed before.
i told my daughter when she was 5, everything and everyone is layers
"Double agent now huh, fuckin Matt Helm"
"Fuck you"
Then turns around so he can smile at his nephews latest description of him.
In my opinion Junior and Tony relationship is the best thing in this show. Such a complex relationship they love each other but play the game against each other time to time.
Damn these little clips. Always leaves me wanting more
It killing me every time he said so your double agent now 🤣🤣
I loled at Tony’s instant dismissiveness of the the notion that Richie was moving on him.
Junior: you’re about to get killed , Tony: thanks for the info, how about a bump in pay?
It was always interesting how Junior could see through Janice’s BS even more than Tony.
Tony thought she was just a flake and a pain - Jr. knew she was a snake.
This show has an invisible comedic part to it, uncle Jun adds to it immensely. Loved him. I find it a very funny series with seriousness.
"What are you, like, a double agent now, huh? Fucking Matt Helm". God I miss this show every day of my life. Lol.
He could sell it. Junior, knew how to split his enemies. He's respected. Now, go back and watch the scene where Richie, is in Junior's kitchen.
1:27 COLLABORATE AND LISTEN

Will it ever stop?
Celtic Jay yo! I don’t know
Formulaic One Turn out the lights
Celtic Jay and I'll glow
Dominic played a character with a wonderful technique. He is very convincing.
Obviously Junior's backpedaling and confabulating after the fact. Tony knows it and calls him on it, but then he decides he'll go along with appearances. Unspoken thoughts. Good writing.
@Ricardo Perea It is what the people pay for.
I love how Uncle Junior says “my little NIECE.”
So you're like a double agent now huh lol
The way Junior responded to the double agent line then turned around. The moment he thought Tony couldn't see him, he grinned. He knew what he was doing all along.
Matt helm was my favorite character i wish they did more with him . Hehehe
That line was funny as shit
Tony: I’m grateful to you for saving my life. I’ll give you a 2.5% raise on your own business that I took from you that you spent your whole life building.
Junior: Deal
He tried to take Tony out and failed. He was lucky to be alive at that point.
He didn't save his life, he was trying to kill him for a second time and chickened out, and the 2.5% raise is literally 50% more than what he was getting before.
2.5% overall but it’s a 50% raise on what he was already getting
You can tell that reverse psychology Junior tried wasn’t working with Tony lol
@1:50 I love how Junior says so much without saying anything.
When Junior raises his voice I felt like I'm dying of laughter.
looking back on this scene it makes me wonder why tony didn't punish albert for never letting tony know that richie was plotting against him
True, maybe he thought if he spilled anything to Tony, Richie would deny and his word would fall short and then he'd be a corpse for sure
Albert would then be deemed untrustworthy by other capos for not keeping his mouth shut... even when it comes to a coup. Plus if he'd told Tony straight away he'd be seen as a "teacher's pet" trying to get on T's good side. I'd like to think Tony probably taxed him (off-screen), just as a slap in the wrist for not telling him.
Ha Ha Ha
it's the only thing in life Albert never repeated
I doubt it. Ratting is only seen as bad when its to the authorities. Junior did it too, albeit in private (although Bobby knew)
Albert could have told Tony in private.
Lmfao the look Junior gives Tony after he brings his action from 5 to 7.5 is one of "2.5% increase? I should have let Richie do his thing"
"Really? What gave him that idea?"🤣🤣 Tony's jibes at Uncle Jun are solid.
The accountant must be working overtime keeping tracks on all these percentages that have been agreed.... Haha
Sil takes notes and keeps them in his wig. "Excel? Get the fuckoutta here!"
Tony didn't like Junior for many reasons but he was the only guy he could talk to who knew what being a boss was like and the pressure that came with it. He needed him more than he'd admit.
Junior knew Janice like the preacher knows The Bible.
0:17 I just love this line from Tony. The emphasis of the "F" bomb is perfect.
I love the dynamic between these two while Junior is "still there" as you know Tony knows how that manipulation game works. He's not as outright narcissistic as Livia or Junior but he speaks the language and can still deep down accept his mother is a far more psychotic human being than even Junior is.
Lol man I could watch clips of Tony and Junior together all day
1:04 Junior is enjoying being able to give Tony this news.
Im with you Junior you gotta hide me
I loved when Junior called Tony "my little nephew", he was the only one who could belittle Tony without catching any flak. Plus he just played Tony, if Allie or Larry went along with it Junior def. would have gone along
