I love the bit where Paulie is telling Sil about a moisturizer and Sil considering trying it out. It’s so casual and wholesome, Tony Sirico did an amazing job. RIP
that scene with Tony bullshitting with the feds and Paulie suntanning as the camera pans out with the music. One of the most memorable scenes in the entire 7 seasons! Love it
The last scene is Paulie's last ever scene and it kind of represents how his life is so empty now because the sopranos mafia has either been, killed, forced out or have isolated themselves. Compared to the early season scene where a big group of them are laughing, joking, living around him. He has nothing left and its both sad and sympathetic but almost justified. He's an awful person, maybe he deserves to live for a while surrounded by ghosts.
That last shot is so depressing man, Bobby dead, Sil in a coma, Vito dead, Puss dead, Christopher dead, and Tony leaving the shot to just Paulie sitting there alone in front of the store
Haunting, that final scene with Paulie, alone and by himself, and the ghosts of all his associates who had occupied that same table over the years. All dead.
I always liked Tony’s casual friendliness with the feds. Satriale’s was the sight where a lot of shit went down. One of the best written, directed and casted shows on television ever.
