This is one of those Sopranos scenes that is almost impossible to believe until you remember exactly who Paulie and Christopher are.
The waiter complains about the tip, and within seconds a stupid argument turns into something much darker.
What gets me is how casually they move on afterward. To them, the waiter’s life becomes another problem that needs to disappear because he happened to push the wrong two people on the wrong night.
That’s the brilliance of the scene: it’s darkly funny, but the comedy makes the violence even more disturbing.
Paulie and Christopher aren’t acting like hardened killers here.
They’re acting like two angry guys who lost control and that somehow makes it worse.
This is Nigeria 🇳🇬.
