The Virgin Mary scene was terrific. I actually never noticed until somebody else pointed it out that we the viewer see her before Paulie does, which implies the vision was real.

It would have to be up there with the way Tony went to pieces at the pool after AJ's suicide attempt, with the constant "it's all right baby, it'll be all right baby", etc. Nobody could make Tony show his human side, be it for good or for bad, like AJ.
