Proof that tony DID have the makings of a varsity athlete

I love how Tony ain’t even warn John…he just dipped. You can see it in his eyes. I ain’t gotta be fast, I just gotta be faster than you

I love how the FBI come running at them out of nowhere as if It was a random skyrim encounter

I love how this show goes from like, two mob bosses having a serious, no nonsense discussion. Two guys with powerful auras, and the instant cops show up they go from that to two stumbling buffoons covered in snow and falling down hills in the woods. The message the showrunners want to convey about the realism of the mafia is done really well

Tony escaped 5 stars.

That's the most cardio Tony did in his whole life.

Ginny was hysterical thinking they were there to confiscate her candy stash in the basement.

It is amazing he analyzed the situation and ran toward the woods. He did not go for the car. He knew the front is filled with police. That split second thinking is priceless.

“We don’t run, it’s embarrassing” -corrado soprano

Tony getting a taste of what Paulie and Chris had to experience when they had to kill the russian interior decorator.

“I paid enough, John… I paid a lot!” LOVE that line and delivery

I love how in the end, Johns friendship with Tony comes back, he forgets being the boss of new york,and takes a deep breath and snaps back to being a friend

When Tony said, "let's talk about the 500 pound elephant in the room," I thought he was going to say Ginny.

i love how embarrassed john is that he fell. his face is priceless.

I always loved the relationship between Tony and Johnny Sack. You can sense the mutual respect between the two in every scene they’re in together. An underrated bromance

I laughed my ass off watching this scene for the first time. After God knows how much build-up, Tony and Sack finally dish out the quarrel, and just like that, Tony glances behind him and just legs it. Almost slapstick...

"Still look forward to working with you John. I mean that.." runs off without even warning him

For those that say this is not realistic, you'll be surprised what the human body can achieve when the adrenaline kicks in. Tony did not want to get arrested, and his mind made sure it wouldn't happen.

There's just something about Gandolfini interacting with the wilderness, I could honestly watch it all day

I love the gardener, he represents the working man who is always getting screwed because of his proximity to these crooks.

This is such a great scene. It's got that tough Mafia stuff, with them facing off. Then it gets kind of heartwarming, seeing their friendship and bonding over the difficulties of leadership. Then sad with Tony's willingness to just leave his friend without a bit of warning. Then comical with the gardener being arrested and the little dog giving Tony a fright. Then thought provoking when you see a powerful mob boss kind of scrambling around in an undignified way in bushes and across rivers like a teenager running from cops or a common burglar. Such an amazing show.

If you look closely, towards the end, when Tony is sitting down, he reaches into his pocket and whips out a stamina potion.

Just super sad that we didn't get another 15-20 years of Gandolfini's work. Extremely underappreciated actor in his own time.

I love how he sees the feds, looks back at Johnny briefly before hauling ass it never fails to crack me up

I love how tony doesn’t even warn Johnny, he just runs away lmao

"How did you find the gun?" "It was laying in the snow below the imprint of a gun."

Something about the school kids cheering and singing at the end is just so eerie, almost juxtaposed. Here Tony is engaging in adult, criminal activity and he casually rests next to a school full of young, innocent children who are singing and having fun, something about it is profound. David Chase is an incredible director.

"I look forward to working with you again John, I really mean that" A few seconds later, runs for his life without giving him a single warning 😂

That poor gardner can't catch a break.

It’s hard to sell “I’m the gardener” when you’re in a foot of snow.

"I paid enough John, I paid a lot" Very powerful line from Tony, shows how hard it was for him to kill Tony B even for all his screw ups and that TBs death really should've ended the in fighting. For Phil though it became more than just getting revenge, Phil believed that Tony and the other Soprano members were a stain on the Mob's reputation and needed to be wiped out. Maybe if Tony had just gifted Phil a new shinebox, things would've been different

What a great freaking show !!! 10+ years after it ended, people still rewatching clips on KZfaq.

Lmaoooo Tony left him without even saying shit

“Let’s talk about the 500 lb elephant in the room” Ginnys upstairs tone..

Absolute proof that Tony had the makings of varsity athlete. He could've went all the way LOL

I love John and Tony's talks. Some of the best conversations in the series.

props to tony running in the snow for us fat dudes that aint easy lol

I can never again watch this scene without watching the woods for when the Feds come running in.

When Tony looks at Johnny before running, for that one second he thought it was a setup

they should have done more with the gardener..

Man the Sopranos is so good with the small little "attention to detail" things. That split second moment when Tony notices the laws, and then looks directly at Johnny and stares, as if to say "d-did...did you set me up?" just before he splits. I mean the look in his eyes is undeniable.

Poor Sal Vitro. That guy had the worse luck. His arm was broken a season or two before and the FBI breaks it again. "I'm just the gardener!"

I started really dying when they were arresting the damn gardner 😂

Vincent Curatola should have won an Emmy and any other award they could have thrown at him for this role. He was AMAZING.

Tony: “let’s talk about the 500lb elephant in the room.” Jonny Sack: “ That’s 405lb elephant Tone, we had to surgically remove the 95lb mole from Ginny’s ass, it’s was a tough procedure.”

When Tony looks in Johnny's eyes and says "I paid enough John, I paid a LOT." I think Johnny knew that Tony personally executed Tony B.

" I paid enough John, I paid alot" is acting at its finest 👌

they made James work hard for this scene and the payoff is great. Sliding down that embankment, falling in snow, walking in an ice cold stream during winter! dangerous and uncomfortable for an actor to be doing but it totally sells Tonys panic and how desperate he is to escape. this is the opposite of phoning it in.

The funniest thing is Tony probably actually think he out ran the FBI.

Tony does better in the snow than Paulie - he keeps both his shoes. Must have been due to having shoelaces.

I love this show so much, The serious moments always have some sort of comedic action or saying that just makes you really enjoy watching it. Johnny wiping out is hilarious

2:25 Tony knew in an instant that it was gonna be like outrunning a bear. You only have to get ahead of your buddy to not get eaten. Hence no warning from him to Sack.

Underrated line: Sack: “What kind of man bangs his 2nd cousin” Tony: “what are you the freaking Cardinal?” 😂😂😂😂

I thought Junior said once: "We don't run, its embarrassing".

2:35 when extended family shows up unexpectedly and you're an introvert

“I’m the Gardener, I’m the…..” 😂 😂

Tony sees FBI. Doesn’t say a word to Johnny Sac. Just runs! Lmao

When Tony said "let's talk about the 500lb elephant in the room..." I kinda expected Johnny Sack to say "Don't ever fucking talk about Ginny like that!"

The "lets talk about the 500 pound elephant in the room" was definitely a clever joke from the writers, considering johnny said he wouldn't mess with Tony with Ginny in the house on the call they had before the meeting.

They yanked up the Sal the gardener but somehow missed the husky mobster that they totally know making a slow paced getaway through snow.

2:37 FBI Agent 1- Shit! Soprano's getting away! FBI Agent 2- Don't worry about it. He never had the makings of a varsity athlete.

Its so funny seeing Tony run through the woods like he was a 15 year old and the sheriff broke up the kegger .

0:53. Tony had no business bringing up the 500 pound elephant in the room. That was the man's WIFE!

Johnny Sack had one of the fastest falls from grace imaginable. So high so far to fall

This was always one of my favorite scenes in the shows history. Seeing the look on Tony's face as he takes off running, cutting through yards, crossing a river. John covered in snow. Its too good.

RIP James, you are still very much missed. Such a powerful actor gone before his time. Can't begin to imagine what else was ahead for him in his acting career.

that use of a double for Jonny Sack's fall in the snow was mint! hahahaha

When I first watched this, I thought Tony running off was a typical selfish Tony moment. Tony and John were good friends, personally and in business, so why not warn him? After re-watching this episode a few times, however, it quickly became clear why he did. Tony had just whacked Tony B and John and Phil were furious because Tony had taken the hit away from Phil. Prior to this scene, when speaking to John for the first time after the killing, the two are arranging a meeting and Tony has to be reassured by John that New York wouldn't kill him at this meeting. In this scene, I think Tony's first thoughts at seeing the feds was obviously fear but also that this is a set up by New York for the murder of Tony B. The level of depth and detail the writers put into creating this series, and the fact that to this day we analyse it in such detail, simply underscores why it is one of the greatest drama series ever made.

That's actually frightening seeing fbi come through like that

"I paid enough John, I paid alot" that line gets me everytime

Everyone talks about how Tony didn’t warn his friend. The FBI came to Johny’s house with a warrant for him, and they were gonna nab him anyway, whether he ran from them or not.

Holy shit, Johnny’s little turn around and the slow speed at which they were all running made this scene so much funnier than it should have

It always makes me laugh when John slips on the ice, and they pick him up and it looks like he got a pie to the face. 😂 It’s Something so small but it’s why this show is the best

One of my favourite things about Tony is how he upgraded from a Suburban to a Cadillac Escalade which is just a Suburban with a thin veneer of sophistication

This was the beginning of the end.

Is it just me or did anyone else find the way Johnny ran when he first saw the agents funny !? 😂

the way John slipped in the snow...LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Fbi: "whats that imprint in the snow?" Jimmy: "it's a fucking gun!"

Bruh! Why is there a gardener mowing grass in winter?? 🤣

"What are you the friggin Cardinal" is my favorite line of the entire series 😂

The guy that played Johnny Sac was great

When I'm watching this scene I can't concentrate on what they're saying, I'm too busy looking and waiting for the FBI to appear

If I could I would erase my memories of watching this for the first time to watch it over and over. I was howling at my screen, one of the best scenes in the series.

Tony(hugs johnny): your a friend John I'm glad to be working with you I mean that Tony 2 seconds later: sees fbi doesn't say a word to his "friend." It doesn't pay to be Tony's friend

Also credit to Tony for knowing how to get home by foot without taking main roads.

I love how his gun made a perfectly gun shaped imprint in the snow lol

0:33 unfortunately, Marlo Stanfield and Phil Leotardo never understood this which is why they both fail in the end

Regardless of the situation, the poor Gardner's arms suffer no matter what 😂

"We don't run, it's embarrassing." Tony dashed out of there like Usain Bolt. When it came down to it these so called men of honor RAN for the hills.

When Johnny Sack slipped that had me in tears laughing

The way Johnny sack falls is so hilarious 😆

The way Tony lost the heat and stayed out of sight until that 5-star Wanted level went away was masterful.

Johnny was an outstanding guy, he didn't even try to involve Tony after his arrest, he never pointed him out as the man he was talking with at all:

I always loved the ending where Tony is crawling out of the woods into his backyard, and how he looks just like the bear from this season. The symbolism was great. Tony is the bear returning to his home.

gandolfini is in peak form in this scene - you can see the anger he's holding back when he says "i've paid enough, jon. i've paid a lot."

That little hop to the side move Tony does to avoid the dog cracks me up

I love how there's no "John! The feds!" He just runs.

"I paid enough, John. I paid A LOT!!" Oh the expression on his face alone would have had anyone running for the hills. Damn that guy could act.

Great scene, great writing, great acting

I've always wondered if, right in that brief moment where Tony runs and Johnny turns around to see what Tony was running from, if Johnny thought Tony had set him up.
