I love the episode in Season 2 "Commendatori"
(apologise for spelling)when the guys go to Italy.

Paulie really pisses Tony off, because he won't stop commenting and asking Tony questions when Tony is in the middle of conversation with people.

Tony: "What's with you. Can't you see I'm taking. You're like a fucking child with the pussy and the food. We're getting a free ride here. You know how these people are with formalities."

Paulie sends back his octopus for "spaghetti with gravy." Then, he's got that bad habit of walking up to any old guy he sees and aying "Commendatori"
He does it in a cafe and they ignore him.

He does it on the seafront and upsets 1 old guy
who says in Italian

"Are you from Nato, you broke our ski cable"

Paulie just says "I'm an American"

I would never put Paulie in a sensitive situation.
He can only make things worse,but you gotta admire the guy.
