Mine has to be when Christopher and Paulie take the Russian guy out in the woods to kill him and then get lost.
At one point, Paulie falls over a snow bank and yells "C**T"

His girlfriend Cathy was my boss, and she always complained about him being "just an actor". LOL, I believe they are still together, saw her on TV with him at the end of the Sopranos party.

I really hated both those characters.

(3,366 posts)The very last scene when Tony asks Melfi what's wrong, is there something you want to say to me? And she is so hurt, so tempted, so touched by his concern, so conflicted. I think the whole world was on their edge of their seats, thinking "Tell him! Tell him!" And then she says "No." What a powerful scene.

as Farina bursts into Travolta's office behind the barber shop.
The bullet just barely grazes Farina'a forehead, and he runs back through the barber shop shouting:
"Someone call 9111...Someone call 9111"

I really regret Elmore Leonard wasn't able to crank out another dozen Chili Palmer novels before he died.

(27,866 posts)when the Soprano family are eating onion rings at the little restaurant, that one guy at the counter looks over at them, gets up, and heads to the rest room, like Al Pacino did in The Godfather, and it leaves the viewer wondering if Tony is about to finally get whacked.

My favorite scene, also from Season 3, is the scene in "Mr. Ruggero's Neighborhood" where the FBI is trying to tap Tony's place. It's set musically to a really neat mix of "Every Breath You Take" and "Peter Gunn," and is hilarious as they try to get into the house while none of the Sopranos are home.

(1,893 posts)The family had just put her in a nursing home and as she's on the phone with someone we hear her say, "WHAT?! They told me DNR meant salt-free diet!"
I just thought that was so funny, and Nancy Marchand was great in that role. That episode where Tony realizes his mom has set him up for a hit, and he catches her smiling as she's been taken away on a stretcher after her (fake?) stroke -- that whole thing was chilling.
red dog 1
(27,866 posts)I can't believe I missed that comment by Tony's mom, since I've probably seen every episode at least a dozen times.
You're right..Nancy Marchand was great in that role.
It's hard to believe that she's the same actress who. nearly 40 years ago, played Ed Asner's boss,
(Mrs Pynchon?) on The Lou Grant Show.

(3,995 posts)Doesn't he get away? I don't remember ever hearing of him again. (Then again, I don't remember specifics about movies or TV shows.)
Okay, my favorite is when the FBI has Drea de Metteo's character in for questioning and she 's so scared, she vomits all over the table.

(27,866 posts)Paulie shoots him while chasing him in the snow, and it looks like he got him in the head,
yet when Paulie & Christopher get to the spot where he was hit, he wasn't there, although there were some blood spots in the snow.
He was "tough as nails" that guy, and could have survived a head shot, (I guess)
The other Russian guy told Tony that the guy used to work for the Russian Interior Ministry and once killed 16 Chechen rebels, which Tony relayed to Paulie via cell phone.
However, the cell phone reception wasn't very good out in the Pine Barrens, and Paulie told Christopher that the Russian guy was an interior decorator who killed 16 Czechoslovakians
