One of the most heartbreaking scenes of the entire show and definitely one of my favorites. Mostly b/c, even though Junior doesn't remember anyone by this point, and has clearly been suffering from severe mental disease over the years, he clearly recognizes Tony for just a brief moment upon seeing him, as Tony asks him in an abrasive manner...You don't remember that you shot me? Alright, enough with the fuckin' burns. I'm Anthony, Johnny's son...To which Junior replies...The fuck you want, a boutonniere?

THAT is vintage Junior Soprano!!!

This offers a very interesting commentary on those who suffer from amnesia and dementia, perhaps suggesting that there is a 'selective' amnesia element to be factored in, brought on by the stress of the negative connotations we have with certain memories and life in general. (The show certainly portrayed A.J's suicide attempt as somewhat contrived and shallow (no pun intended), perhaps they're suggesting the same in some levels with Junior's disease?)

This is just such an immensely powerful scene. By the time Tony starts talking about the money for Bobby's kids and everything else, Junior has totally slipped away again, and Tony says "You really don't remember who I am." And by that point he doesn't. But I think Junior is in a stage in his digression where he was still just barely capable of remembering certain little things, places and moments in time, and seeing Tony briefly brings him back. This whole thing is too sad:
