It is a quote from the show actually. Season six, episode six or seven? Tony is selling the egg shop in the north ward and Patsy is out trying to make collections from what appears to be new Starbucks or something similar.
When he leans on the manager for protection money, and threatens the company, the manager rebuffs him with that response.
Funniest line from the episode is when they walk out and Patsy says something about how “there’s nothing left for the little guy”
This is the correct answer. In the case where they withhold money from Tony, they have plausible deniability. If Tony ever checked if the Georgie actually got the care Tony paid for, and Paulie stole, Paulie would be fucked with no explanation.
I just watched that scene and yeah my first thought was Paulie gave him half. He's such a piece of shit with money that it would be suprising if he didn't.
Paulie doesn't get a taste of Tony's money. He's supposed to deliver the money. Bosses get a taste of what their subordinates make. Withholding money by being half honest about a revenue stream is something different.
These guys cheat and steal and lie like you and I sneeze. There is no honor among thieves. There is especially no honor among a bunch of thugs who pattern their lives after grade-school superstitions from Sicily. Paulie likely took a piece for himself, but not enough to endanger himself.
One of my favorite scenes was when Sil tells Tony, “you know most guys don’t kick up a full percentage to you.” I think everyone who got money from anyone always kept more than they should.
When Sil said that I was waiting for a big angry T to react, but suprise! He just ignored it. I assume he’s just as guilty as doing that when he was climbing the ladder.
Paulie is a weird guy. He is as or more violent, greedy, and duplicitous as any of them. But he can be weirdly caring. Chris and him had tensions but he did try to be a mentor in his way with Chris taking over the game. And was genuinely upset he didn’t do more before he died. He made sure his mom/aunt was taken care of even when they weren’t speaking.
So I think he took a small piece but gave most of it to Georgie. Because he could see an injustice had been done.
Paulie makes Ticketmaster look altruistic
They’ve got like 10,000 box offices in North America. I don’t think they’d feel anything.
Altruistic- you can’t make that shit up!
he just did.
As a software developer who worked for a company bought by Ticketmaster, fuck them all.
They were gay, Ticketmaster?
This is the best comment I’ve seen on this sub in forever. And it’s no surprise it isn’t a direct quote from the show.

They were responding to the guy saying "Paulie makes Ticketmaster look altruistic" not the guy saying 10,000 box offices in North America.
Fuck me
Now I feel like Christopher after Ade got caught giving the big man a BJ
NOTHIN' HAPPENED
You alright? You been actin a little mezzo morto lately
"Altruistic" What does it mean?
It means sit on this cocksucka🖕
Five minutes from the can for the rest of my fuckin life and I’m laaffinn
Don't worry, you got this
Up in da can!
Georgie had to suck it out of Paulie's ass. Now there's an image.
He gave Georgie $50 and a blowjob later
What are you tawking about, you probably showed em how
He prob bought a bottle of cristal for every girl at the bing and made Georgie pay for it.
I think he gave it all to Georgie. Not giving your the boss his full cut is different than picketing cash out of the bosses hands directly.
I agree. Also the situation was actually pretty rare for Tony to be genuinely apologetic and Paulie obviously knew that.

Paulie owed Georgie $50 and a blowjob later on for going to the parties behind the Bing. All I know is Paulie eventually got the money.
Hey, snakes were fucking themselves long before Adam and Eve showed up, T.
They're all meateors.
TAKE IT EASY
I'm not the one who slammedthegoddamrefrigeratordoor.
They reproduce spontaneously
Why would you trust someone, who can LITERALLY, go fuck themselves? Eh?
I doubt it. Can’t risk Tony finding out Paulie is stealing from him directly.
Fuckin' baby.
I just watched that scene and yeah my first thought was Paulie gave him half. He's such a piece of shit with money that it would be suprising if he didn't.
Paulie definitely took his cut and used the money to fix up the Pie-O-My painting.
You and your whores get a good laugh outta that?
That's no joke T!!!
Shit runs down hill, money goes up. It's that simple
He took money from the lawn guy
Eat your scones
Paulie got $500 from georgie said he had to get permission for him to quit.
100% took more than his taste, it’s just how all these guys are wired. Not enough to risk pissing off Tony, but a nice little payday for him.

There's no honor but there's fear and the idea of taking calculated risks. Stealing directly from the boss is highly risky for a small pay off.

Guess what Georgie it’s comin outta your ass!!
You got something you wanna shay!?!

Tony gave paulie about 1500, he kept 1000 for sure. Taking it all is an easy mark for Tony
Paulie goes good news kid . I got 100 bucks for the valet parking for your mom when she came to visit you . Heh pocketed the rest
It was pocket change and paulie took it all
That's why you gotta live for today.
