Having had a grandfather with alzheimer's disease, I felt terrible for Junior in the last few seasons where he clearly had memory problems that Tony and many other characters were ignorant of/unsympathetic to. Tony always acting like a goddamn hothouse flower and all.
Without a doubt one of the greatest scenes of the series. It perfectly concludes the series' insight into Tonys mob life - the final message ? Tony poignantly realises that it will all come to an end , doesnt matter that you even "ran north jersey" .. life (and fate) will ultimately bring them down in destructive and painful ways.
Its a fact of life when something sad like this happens.You loose your identity,personality,and your itegrity.Believe me it could be you when your older so dont joke.People who laugh at this today might not be laughing tommorow.
I think Tony finally realized that he should let go of the grudge he held against Junior for shooting him. I do believe that Tony felt bad for junior after he shot him. An emotional scene in my opinion.
After Junior says 'oh thats nice' it cuts to tony's face before he gets up. I can't tell if it's the lighting reflecting of his eyes, or tony is slightly teary eyed from seeing Junior like this. Which is it?
Don't give up brother, don't. Mum is mum, that's what we say here in Italy. Much respect to you for taking care of her, much much respect. Sorry for my bad english.
Junior was fakin it. When he said "what the fuck you want a boutinier" he was giving Tony just enough of a sign to let him know he was still all there, without giving himself up.
He started off faking it, but he clearly wasn't all there in this scene. Junior is the kind of man who wouldn't let someone else tell him his own accomplishments - especially in such a patronising way.
yeah Junior was one of the last remaining old school members of the DiMeo-Soprano family, an Old Generation Mafiosi, one that actually can speak Italian.
James Gandolfini absolutely nailed the end of this scene. I love Tony's very brief expression of empathy and grief, and how it soon gives way to a building anxiety that precipitates his quick exit from the room.
Its always sad to see someone you look up to suddenly disintegrate into nothing with no memory of who you are or what you've been through together. The way our body's turn on us in our old age isn't fair but that's life.
YOU SHUT UP OR I'LL BURN YOU TO DEATH WITH GASOLINE I HAVE FREEDOM OF SPEECH TO POST WHERE EVER THE FUCK I WANT!!!!! I'LL SENT YOUR SOUL TO PURGATORY WHEN I LIT A MATCH ON YOUR BODY WITH GASONLIE POURED ALL OVER YOU

"that proof im tough".....if you got the tough thing down then the next goal is...spelling! I don't see it happening when you can't get over the caps though. Poor kid!
@/tkl0085 IF I DON'T WHOLE @ THING PEOPLE WILL NOT KNOW WHO THE FUCK I AM SPEAKIN TO I HAVE DONE THAT SINCE I STARTED USING YOUTUBE IN 2008 OR 07 OR WHAT EVER THE FUCK
I love when he says, "Fuck you want? A Boutonniere?"
It's the last time we see any remnant of the old Junior. Plus, it shows that even though he's lost his memories and he's losing his brain, he's still Corrado.
He takes meds so he wont piss his pants and stuff. But the meds cause him to lose his memory and sanity. Without the meds his memory is perfect. He knows this but chose the meds anyway, because not having control of your bladder is considered taboo and embarrasing, if your old school like Junior is. Thats why he chose insanity.
If Chase thought this far ahead, I wonder if this is actually how he imagined Tony's last scene with Livia. I've read in interviews that certain storylines/scenes came to him years before they happened on the show. Plus, I always had the feeling that they kept the Junior character around to fill some of the void from Livia's death. Otherwise, I think they would have killed off Junior.
you can see right before Tony gets up to leave there is a tear in his right eye. hard to believe this is the first time Tony sees Junior since all the way back in members only when junior shot him.
Man it's so crazy. Junior could care less about his mob past, the birds are way more interesting to him at this point. This is probably the most important scene in the whole series. I miss this show soo much.
James Gandolfini what an actor - I felt touched cos Tony Soprano forgave Junior for the shooting. As long as Tony was alive Junior would be looked after
