First Paulie starts to rebel, now Silvio.

I think this may be David Chase's way of taking some some of hte luster and romance off. These guys are mobsters-thieves and killers. Having Paulie and Silvio act this way could be his way of saying "Hey, these guys are not good loyal guys who are just a little twisted. They are selfish pricks who will do anything for money".

What was the deal with Silvio giving Tony the money? I thought he told Tony that he didn't give the OK for Patsi to steal? I got the impression from the cash that Silvio was covering the costs for the steal.
