Isabella - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: At the hospital, when Agent Harris presents his business card in case Tony changes his mind, Harris holds his card at its bottom so it's up over his hand, but in the next shot facing Tony, Harris holds the card at its top so it's below his hand, and it continues this way in the next shot as Carmela takes it from his hand.

Trivia: Whenever the mobsters in the Sopranos pay they almost always take a wad of cash out of their pocket and pull off the top 3-4 bills and hand it over. If Tony is paying for a pizza he pulls off 3-4 bills. If he's bribing someone he pulls off 3-4 bills. No matter what the amount is for that particular situation, it's always covered with the top 3-4 bills of the cash wad.
