  • Ralph beat a stripper to death which caused Tony to lash out and hit Ralph, a violation of mafia code. Tony tried to settle things by offering to have a drink with Ralph and bury the hatchet, which Ralph denied.
    In this scene, Ralph reaches out to Johnny Sack for help. We also see Johnny Sack working behind the scenes to smooth things over for the betterment of business.

      None of them did, they never considered people outside their thing as equals. Only Tony ever cared about what happened to Tracee, but that's because he was a bit of a self righteous hypocrite who thought he was above them albeit with a small ounce of humanity. The other mobsters only got angry at Ralph for turning down Tony's drink.

      Yeah but in their morality and code her raising her hands to him is a death sentence alone , she woulda been whacked either way if it was the 40s-60s maybe even later but for sure in that period especially as she wasn't connected

      That's why the audience rallied behind Tony. Not because Tony was right under his own rules, but because under that little ounce of humanity he shows his family and animals extended to the victim of a horrific murder, despite the obvious hypocrisy like how Tony would murder jackie jr or matt bevilaqua (arguably both more deserving of death) it never bothered Tony, yet he looked down on his own guys for doing the same. HIs hypocrisy with how Ralphie went too far is something he ended up pointing out before he died, Tony wanted to be the hero, but that's because his ego needed that to cope with his self-loathing.

    Johnny Sack is devoted to his wife and loves her unconditionally, but is apathetic about Ralph beating an innocent young woman to death. Tony cheats on his wife without giving her honor a moment's thought, but is willing to take personal damage to stand by his anger towards the wrong done to that girl. Interesting difference in moral formula for both these guys.

    • @chubbychaser00izu
      @chubbychaser00izu Před 3 lety +164

      It goes a bit deeper than that because Johnny never even met the stripper whereas Tony was giving her advice from time to time and he felt she was looking up to him like a child looks up to a parent. Tony has a thing for living beings who cannot defend themselves. Johnny on the other hand just saw her as a random stripper. Hence the different reactions. Obviously how they treat their wives, that's a different thing to me.

    I like how Johnny makes Ralph think that Carmine has no idea about Ralph so that he doesn't go directly to Carmine for anything. We found out later that Carmine recognized Ralph for the powerful earner that he was. He effectively made himself the shoulder to cry on for all the disgruntled members of Tony's captains/higher ups. He put himself in a position to know about all the internal issues with the NJ family.

      How Johnny uses people of course. The Irony of it is he got Paulie under this thumb by telling him Carmine was impressed by him. While he's wrangling Ralph here because he sees Johnny as his only way to escape the Soprano crew, but he doesn't know that he might've had substantial pull with Carmine if he had talked to him directly.

    I always wondered what Johnny Sack's angle was in this mess, but looking back I think it was genuinely to annoy Tony Soprano as much and as safely as possible. The irony of Tony quoting Sun Tzu at the table was exquisite.

      Sack was trying to keep the capos all happy so he could take over and absorb NJ if something ever happened to Tony. Tony realized this when they planned the hit on carmine sr. Sack agreed to 60/40 in Tony’s favor with no counter offer. He took it so Tony would do the hit then he could turn around and blame it on Tony . Since Tony had the beef with the HUD scam he would be the most likely suspect .

    Ralph has absolutely no idea how lucky he is that he caught Johnny in a benevolent mood - and the fact that Johnny's actually trying to save his life here completely goes over his head. Typical Ralph blaming his f-ups on anything but himself, so never taking responsibility. Maybe the big earner, but a real loose cannon which led to his demise.

In the real physical world, a $500 bill is worth almost nothing compared to a bologna sandwich. We should all start standing up for what we really believe.
