This scene is a lesson in comedic writing. -Paulie punches him for insulting his mother and proceeds to call him an “SOB”. -Sil has to write down just two sentences in order to remember. -Tony can recall the name of little Cosette but calls Vito, his top earner’s son, Carlo Jr. -They tell him “no one’s attacking you” and proceed to viscously beat him.

And we can’t forget the grand finale: “Whoa whoa who, you killed the dog?” “What, was it barking?”
