There's an expression, if you want to be away from someone, or not do business with them and you would like to be a little bit rude about it, you "show them the door." Figuratively speaking, probably.
In another great Sopranos scene, the character played by Steve Buscemi interacts with a Korean owner of a massage parlor, who says belligerently, "I would never hire you, except I need Tony Soprano for union! If not for him, I show you da fuckin window!"
Which is a sort of mix-up of the expression, "show you the door."
Not technically a malapropism, I don't think - rather, a "Little Carmine-ism."
So funny - it reminded me of an early Woody Allen movie called Take The Money And Run. Just in the style of the humor.
