Paulie's setting up Ralphie
Paulie's close with Johnny Sacks now, and if he can get Johnny and Carmine from NYC to take out Ralph, he's back in the saddle money-wise when he gets out of the joint, and this time with the backing of the NYC crew, which means the Sorprano family will have a hard time touching him.
Anyway, I thought this week's episode was a little weak compared to the others. The conversation in the car at the end was funny, though.
The Pine Barrens episode is my favorite of all time. Paulie's "He's an interior decorator" line is classic, but Christopher's reply is even better - "His apartment looked like shit."
