In Tony's dream, he sings along to the soundtrack while Dr. Melfi fellates him in bed. And the smile on his face is so big that you're not even sure you remember it in his waking life. But when Tony's mean to Dr. Melfi later on - when she tells him she's afraid - we're with the doctor 100%. The moral relativism makes sense, and so does the anger, and so do the happy dreams. All the inherent consequences of great characters. That said, I'm not sure Dominic Chianese isn't Larry David's doppelganger.

He is Larry, eager for fun. He wears a smile. Everybody run!
