Probably my favorite television sequence (excluding all seasons of the wire)

To understand the beauty of this scene you have to take into context the setting. First you must understand that he is completely lying through is teeth, Tony the alpha male of the group, the boss of the New Jersey family is lying to his capos out of his own weakness. Throughout the Sopranos we are shown Tony vulnerable to many things, his family, mental disease, physical injuries however he always ruled over his crew with an iron fist. And in this minute and a half we see how they control him as well, like most things his bravado and fearless command is all a facade. The music is also flawless.
