I never realized the ironic link between Ralph’s son and Valentina

The scene where Tony’s talking about how much of a struggle Ralph’s son has ahead of him, and Valentina says “I think I’ll have the medallions with the veal”. The irony of the scene is how closely it mirrors the scene after she’s burned badly and is in the hospital. Tony basically shows her the same amount of interest as he gives her her walking papers and ignores her threat of suicide. Just another tidbit I never put together
