"There has to be consequences" Carmela Soprano
Manipulation of punishment is possible when you offer to give up a want and then determine it is actually a need. You have the appearance of attempting to do the right thing but ultimately you have done nothing in restitution.
You can't truly disguise your feelings - unless you are careful it comes out in your conversational tone.
Its easy to criticize or comment when it doesn't affect you. But, when the tables are turned you see things from a different, more direct angle, your perspective and opinions changes.
This episode introduces us to Richie Aprile. Made Guy...Knowing how he ends up I find it terribly ironic that he tells Christopher, "Look kid, I shouldn't have to explain myself. I'm from the old-school. You wanna raise your hand, you give her your last name. Then it's none of my fuckin' business. Until then, keep your hands in your pockets. We understand each other?" (Spoiler Alert). Which means watch what you say. Sometimes things come back to bite (or in Richie's case shoot) you.
One last thought...I would venture to say that there has been no character on T.V. or in Film that had the ability to express so much with his eyes as Tony Soprano. Thank you James Gandolfini.
