History Recap / TheSopranosS5E13AllDueRespect

** Carlo asks Bobby: [[{{Irony}} "You think New York is really gonna come after you, Bobby?"]]
** Johnny Sack indicates that he's seeing a doctor for [[TheTopicOfCancer lipid and bone density tests]].

* EndOfAnAge: That scene with Tony and all the other made guys (and Hesh) throwing a birthday party for Ray was pretty neat, huh? [[spoiler: Take a look at the men at that table. Four are dead, (five if you count Sil being left in a vegetative state, or six depending on how you view Tony's ultimate fate) two have been incarcerated or have flipped, and only three are still alive by the end of the series. (Four, again, if you count Tony) Of the survivors, Paulie tried to defect at one point, Hesh and Tony's friendship is ruined, Patsy knows Tony ordered his twin brother killed, and Tony is left with an ambiguous but bleak-looking fate.]]

Tony B drives to Uncle Pat's farm after shopping for groceries. Tony S ambushes his cousin and kills him with a shotgun blast, both to protect the rest of the Jersey mob from any fallout with New York, and to spare his cousin from being tortured to death by the New York mob.

Johnny Sack calls Tony S afterward. Both Johnny and Phil are furious that Tony S gave Tony B a quick kill. Tony S tries to appease them by offering Phil a share of the profits from the casino that Tony B used to run. Tony S and Sack later meet up at the latter's residence, and manage to work out a peace agreement, one that will require the brutally violent Phil to quell his own desires for vengeance. Their reconciliation is cut short as FBI agents close in to arrest Sack. Tony S manages to escape, and throws away his handgun. He calls up his lawyer, Neil Mink, who informs him that the Brooklyn FBI wasn't there for Tony as their warrant focused exclusively on Johnny Sack. Mink also informs Tony S that Jimmy Petrille had turned informer, leading to Sack's arrest.

* BatmanGambit: Tony S decides to TakeAThirdOption and give Tony B a MercyKill. He knows that Johnny Sack and Phil will both be furious over it, but Tony S correctly wagers that they can be appeased with profits from the casino that Tony B used to run.

** A.J. is working on a college application, couldn't possibly have been spending hours on the phone with friends.

** Tony S also has a "I told you so" moment with Johnny Sack, now that Sack has some experience under his belt and the realization that dealing with the Chains, and [[TheStarscream Starscreams along the way]], come with the territory of being TheDon.

* DoubleMeaningTitle: The title could describe: Tony's striving to gain Johnny's respect; Johnny's striving to gain Tony's respect; and Tony's striving to keep the respect of his family.

* EndOfAnAge: That scene with Tony and all the other made guys (and Hesh) throwing a birthday party for Ray was pretty neat, huh? [[spoiler: Take a look at the men at that table. Four are dead, (five if you count Sil being left in a vegetative state, or six depending on how you view Tony's ultimate fate) two have been incarcerated or have flipped, and only three are still alive by the end of the series. (Four, again, if you count Tony) Of the survivors, Paulie tried to defect at one point, Hesh and Tony's friendship is ruined, Patsy knows Tony ordered his twin brother killed, and Tony is left with an ambiguous but bleak looking fate.]]

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Phil's henchman reminds Phil that family are off limits when members of TheMafia have beefs with each other. Could also double as {{Foreshadowing}} for the [[Recap/TheSopranosS6E21MadeInAmerica series finale]].

* HolierThanThou: Johnny Sack does come across as rather self-righteous in this episode. And when he invokes KissingCousins as a justification for having Lorraine killed, Tony calls him on it: "What are you? The friggen' Cardinal?"

* MercyKill: Tony S decides to TakeAThirdOption and give Tony B a quick death with a shotgun blast.

* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Phil uses his [[CaneFu cane]] as an ImprovisedWeapon to beaty Benny to a bloody pulp.

* TheOldestProfession: Tony B gets by with a prostitute or two while while hiding out at Uncle Pat's farm.

* PragmaticVillainy: Tony S finally manages to persuade Johnny Sack that it's time to end the CycleOfRevenge seen throughout season 5 and get back to doing business and making money. Unfortunately for him, Sack is immediately arrested by the FBI afterwards.

* {{Protectorate}}: Tony S has the Jersey mob establish one over Chris, after Phil attempted to kill Chris as matter of RevengeByProxy.
* {{Pride}}: Tony S is hesitant to give up Tony B to Johnny Sack, because it amounts to [[KneelBeforeZod Kneeling Before Sack]]. And that's after Tony S had told Sack to [[PrecisionFStrike go fuck himself]].
* ProfessionalButtKisser: Paulie squirms when Tony S gets upset over the painting of Pie-Oh-My and himself by telling Tony S that it's an honor to have a picture of the boss himself, and that the picture depicts Tony S as the [[FatherToHisMen "General"]].
* PsychologicalProjection: Dr. Melfi points out that this is a large part of Tony's current struggles. He feels [[GuiltComplex guilty]] over Tony B having [[ICouldaBeenAContender gone to jail instead of him]]. Therefore, his real motivation of avoiding giving up Tony B to the New York mob is to avoid fueling his own guilt that goes years back. He's angry about A.J. not being given more time by the football coach, because he really wanted to hear the coach tell A.J. that he's special. That in turn would validate Tony S' [[Recap/TheSopranosS5E11TheTestDream dream where Coach Malinaro told him he was special]].

** Phil makes an attempt on Chris as a stand in for Tony B.

** At the end of the episode, Tony's emergence from the rustling bushes reaffirms the use of the bear as a symbol for Tony's dominating presence in his house. Based on the emerging location of the bear in earlier episodes, there is uncertainty as to the identity of the rustling figure.

** Give up Tony B, [[ThickerThanWater his own cousin]], to the New York mob for ColdBloodedTorture and a CruelAndUnusualDeath. Tony S almost makes this choice when he calls up Johnny Sack, but then hesitates, wavers and hangs up.

** TakeAThirdOption and give Tony B a MercyKill. Problem is, there's no assurances that the New York family will actually accept it as a valid Third Option. Tony S ultimately decides to roll the dice on the Third Option.

* SpoiledBrat: Tony S and Carmela lampshade that A.J. having it easy from day one has killed off any motivation, while Val's son works hard laboring under a not so well off father.

** It plays again while Tony S is making his way home after running from Johnny Sack's arrest. The second playing invites the more benign interpretation of the lyrics.

* ThwartedEscape: Benny tries to hightail it out of the Crazy Horse after noticing [[TheDreaded Phil]]. Phil and his henchmen catch up to Benny as he's trying to start his car and get away. They then begin to pull him out, and Benny puts his car into drive by mistake, resulting in the car going into the nearby wall instead. He tries desperately to put it in reverse, only for the New York mobsters to pull on him enough to cause him to lose his grip on his drive shaft, and then out of the car completely. The NoHoldsBarredBeatdown begins shortly thereafter.

* WouldHitAGirl: Phil grips hard on Joanne's wrist, and then threatens to ram the discman up her "box". The "box" comment could also be considered a ShoutOut to Frank Vincent's classic line in ''Film/GoodFellas'', "Now go home and get your fucking shinebox!"

'''Season 5, Episode 13'''
!All Due Respect

Phil, Johnny Sack and Jimmy Petrille reclaim Billy's dead body from the morgue. Phil wants a long and slow death for Tony B. He and a henchman look for Chris as an attempt at partial satisfaction. Phil intimidates Chris' mother, who runs away crying, while his own henchman reminds him that family members of Mafiasos are off limits according to the rules. Phil then shows up at the Crazy Horse, and then uses his cane to beat Benny Fazzio to within an inch of his life in the parking lot.

The rest of the Jersey mob are becoming increasingly unhappy with Tony S. The New York mob is squeezing them financially, and they also feel that Tony S won't protect them by giving up Tony B, especially after the beating Benny suffered. Tony S struggles immensely with whether to give up Tony B, knowing that Phil likely plans to torture his cousin to death.

Tony S heads over to Paulie's home to confront him over perceived disloyalty. There he notices that Paulie salvaged the painting of Pie-Oh-My and Tony, with Tony repainted to wear a uniform like Napoleon. Tony berates Paulie, leaves with the painting, and then tosses it into a nearby dumpster. But then Tony ponders the details of the Napoleon retouches to the painting, and realizes that he has a responsibility to his own men.

Johnny Sack calls Tony S afterwards. Both Johnny and Phil are furious that Tony S gave Tony B a quick kill. Tony S tries to appease them by offering Phil a share of the profits from the casino that Tony B used to run. Tony S and Sack later meet up at the latter's residence, and manage to work out a peace agreement, one that will require the brutally violent Phil to quell his own desires for vengeance. Their reconciliation is cut short as FBI agents close in to arrest Sack. Tony S manages to escape, and throws away his handgun. He calls up his lawyer, Neil Mink, who informs him that the Brooklyn FBI weren't there for Tony as their warrant focused exclusively on Johnny Sack. Mink also informs Tony S that Jimmy Petrille had turned informer, leading to Sack's arrest.

* PetTheDog: A rather morbid example. Tony S is well aware that Chris had issues with Tony B. So he gives Chris the honor of burying Tony B to get some measure of satisfaction out of things. He also gives Chris a ManHug.

-->'''Phil''': We're, uh, from Alcoholics Anonymous.
-->'''Joanne''': What's your name?
-->'''Phil''': Well, we're anonymous.

** Carmela remembers when Adriana [[Recap/TheSopranosS5E2TheRatPacl was out of sorts during movie night with the girls]]. It fuels Carmela's curiosity about where Adriana has gone, obliging Tony S to make use of the new house as a ChekhovsGift.

* ActorAllusion: Vinny Vella plays Jimmy Petrille. His being TheMole for the FBI leads to Johnny Sack's arrest. Vella also played Artie Piscano in Film/Casino. Piscano's careless keeping of detailed records, despite being told by his bosses not to, and running his mouth off with a wire set up on his grocery store, leads to the downfall of the mobster-run casinos in Las Vegas.

* ThwartedEscape: Benny tries to hightail it out of the Crazy Horse after [[OhCrap noticing]] [[TheDreaded Phil]]. Phil and his henchmen catch up to Benny as he's trying to start his car and get away. They then begin to pull him out, and Benny puts his car into drive by mistake, resulting in the car going into the nearby wall instead. He tries desperately to put it in reverse, only for the New York mobsters to pull on him enough to cause him to lose his grip on his drive shaft, and then out of the car completely. The NoHoldsBarredBeatdown begins shortly thereafter.

-->''Phil'': We're, uh, from Alcoholics Anonymous.
-->''Joanne'': What's your name?
-->''Phil'': Well, we're anonymous.

* AngryGuardDog: Tony S narrowly avoids getting bitten by one while [[ChaseScene running away from the FBI agents]].
* BatmanGambit: Tony S decides to TakeAThirdOption and give Tony B a MercyKill. He knows that Johnny Sack and Phil will both be furious over it, but Tony S correctly wagers that they can be appeased [[EveryManHasHisPrice with profits from the casino that Tony B used to run]].

** An unintentionally funny example on Phil's part: "... before they put on all that pancake and shit!"

* ChaseScene: When FBI agents arrest Johnny Sack, Tony S manages to escape, but throws away his handgun in the process. [[{{Foreshadowing}} It becomes]] a ChekhovsGun next season.
* ChekhovsGun: Tony S throws his handgun away into the snow [[ChaseScene while running away from the FBI agents]]. It becomes legally significant next season.

* CloseToHome: Tony S really goes ape at the sight of Paulie's [[MementoMacGuffin picture]], because it's a painful reminder of [[Recap/TheSopranosS4E5PieOhMy Pie-Oh-My]].

* DiabolusExMachina: Just as Johhny Sack and Tony finally patch things up and look to go back to normal business and making money again, Johhny Sack is arrested by the FBI thanks to their mole Jimmy Petrille. With John in prison and awaiting trial, his decidedly less [[PragmaticVillainy pragmatic]] and more AxCrazy [[TheDragon dragon]] Phil Leotardo is free to take the reins of Acting Boss.

** Tony S [[SadisticChoice really struggles]] with what to do about his own cousin Tony B, who is marked for a CruelAndUnusualDeath by Phil. Part of Tony S' struggles stem from the fact that even giving Tony B a MercyKill may not be enough to get the [[AndYourLittleDogToo Jersey mob]] out of the crosshairs of the New York mob.
** Tony S does his utmost to [[{{Protectorate}} protect]] [[LikeASonToMe Chris]] from [[AxCrazy Phil]]. He then [[PetTheDog comforts]] Chris and gives him a ManHug once the crisis has more or less elapsed.

* ImproperlyParanoid: There's a reason why Tony S [[ChaseScene got away from the FBI agents]]. They weren't even after him in the first place. His panicked efforts to run away cause him to make a key blunder by leaving behind a ChekhovsGun that will come back to haunt him next season.
* ImprovisedWeapon: Phil uses his [[CaneFu cane]] for his NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on Benny.

* JackBauerInterrogationTechnique: Phil mixes in demands to know where Tony B is while [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating]] Benny to a bloody pulp with his [[CaneFu cane]].

* LazyBum: A.J.

* TheOldestProfession: Tony B gets by with a prostitute or two while [[UnsafeHaven while hiding out at Uncle Pat's farm]].

* ProfessionalButtKisser: Paulie squirms when Tony S gets upset over the [[MementoMacGuffin painting of Pie-Oh-My and himself]] by telling Tony S that it's an honor to have a picture of the boss himself, and that the [[RuleOfSymbolism picture]] depicts Tony S as the [[FatherToHisMen "General"]].

** Tony S is watching a History Channel documentary on ''UsefulNotes/ErwinRommel'', describing him as a FatherToHisMen, and who returned home during ''UsefulNotes/WorldWarI'' to marry his [[HighSchoolSweethearts sweetheart]]. The latter bit plays out just as Carmela pulls up to sit on the sofa beside him.

** The [[MementoMacGuffin painting]] of [[Recap/TheSopranosS4E5PieOhMy Pie-Oh-My]] and Tony S dressed up like Napoleon beckons to Tony to be a FatherToHisMen.

** TakeAThirdOption and give Tony B a MercyKill. Problem is, there's no assurances that the New York family will actually accept it as a valid Third Option. Tony S ultimately decides to [[BatmanGambit roll the dice]] on the Third Option.
* SeriouslyScruffy: Tony S looks rather disheveled, with a twig scratch across his cheek to boot, [[ChaseScene after running from the FBI agents]].
* SpeakIllOfTheDead: Chris and Tony freely berate Adriana, convinced that she was RewardedAsATraitorDeserves.
* TheStarscream: [[TheDon Johnny Sack]] is himself wary of the possibility that Phil won't be content with being a {{Dragon}} or even TheConsigliere.
* TranquilFury: Phil arrives at Uncle Pat's farm with his henchmen. He makes as though to quietly sneak in through the front door, and that's when he notices that Tony S has already given Tony B a MercyKill. The look on his face says it all.

** [[SpoiledBrat A.J.]] to Carmela: "Could you amp up the drama a little?"

** "Glad Tidings" by ''Music/VanMorrison'' is playing while Tony B is [[UnsafeHaven driving to Uncle Pat's farm]]. The lyrics could be interpreted to describe a MercyKill delivered by a loved one. Then there's the particular lyric about [[DeadlyEuphemism "glad tidings from New York"]].
** It plays again while Tony S is making his way home [[ChaseScene after running from Johnny Sack's arrest]]. The second playing invites the more benign interpretation of the lyrics.
* TakeAThirdOption: Tony S decides to both try to [[FatherToHisMen protect his own men]] from any fallout with New York, and save his [[ThickerThanWater cousin]] from ColdBloodedTorture and a CruelAndUnusualDeath, by giving Tony B a [[MercyKill quick death]] with a shotgun blast.

* WithDueRespect: [[TheConsigliere Silvio]] has a prolonged conversation with Tony S where he twice names the [[TitleDrop trope itself word for word]]. He points out to Tony S that his real hesitation in giving up Tony B is that Tony S is too [[{{Pride}} Proud]] to do something that amounts to [[KneelBeforeZod bending the knee before Johnny Sack]] and after having told Sack to [[PrecisionFStrike go fuck himself]]. Silvio also warns Tony S that if he can't get past it, he will risk TheMutiny from his men.
* WouldHitAGirl: Phil grips hard on Joanne's wrist, and then threatens to ram the discman up her "box". The "box" comment could also be considered a ShoutOut to Frank Vincent's classic line in ''Film/GoodFellas'', "Now go home and get your fucking shinebox!"

** The documentary also claims that Rommel had a [[GenreSavvy "sixth sense of sizing up the situation"]].

Tony S heads over to Paulie's home to confront him over perceived disloyalty. That's when he notices that Paulie preserved the painting of Pie-Oh-My with Tony, with Tony redone to wear a uniform like Napoleon. Tony berates Paulie, leaves with the painting, and then tosses it into a nearby dumpster. But then Tony ponders the details of the Napoleon retouches to the painting, and realizes that he has a responsibility to his own men.

Tony B drives to Uncle Pat's farm after shopping for groceries. His eyes widen with shock when he sees Tony S ambush him before he can draw his own weapon. Tony S kills his own cousin with a shotgun blast, both to protect the rest of the Jersey mob from any fallout with New York, and to spare his cousin from being tortured to death by the New York mob.

Johnny Sack calls Tony S up afterwards. Both Phil and himself are furious that Tony S gave Tony B a quick kill. Tony S starts to appease them by offering Phil a share of the profits from the casino that Tony B used to run. Tony S and Sack later meet up at the latter's residence, and manage to work out a peace agreement, and one that will require the brutally violent Phil to quell his own desires for vengeance. Their reconciliation is cut short as FBI agents close in to arrest Sack. Tony S manages to escape, but throws away his handgun.

Mink also informs Tony S that Jimmy Petrille turned informer, leading to Sack's arrest.

** Chris still feels really betrayed by Adriana having become TheMole.

* ImproperlyParanoid: There's a reason why Tony S [[ChaseScene got away from the FBI agents]]. They weren't even after him in the first place. He wasn't even on their New York issued warrant.
