When Sonny storms out of Connie's wedding to rough up the guy taking pictures of license plates, he has Paulie Gatto in tow, well behind him. After he spits on the FBI guy's credentials and says, "Goddam FBI don't respect nothin'," he and Paulie turn away. When Paulie is well distanced from the FBI guy, he makes a "cornudo"--the two fingered "horns" that are the classical Italian sign of the cuckold--but does it so surreptitiously that you barely notice it. A perfect sign of what a weasel he was, and a hint of treason to come.
TB, I didn't see what you saw in that scene. In fact, Paulie is not well behind Sonny; he's right on his heels until Sonny is directed by an agent to another agent sitting in the car. Once Sonny leaves that agent and walks back toward the gate, Paulie is right there and actually covers Sonny's retreat back to the gate. Several times Paulie moves his hand toward the gun he has under his coat. On the other hand, Clemenza never leaves the vicinity of the gate.
