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.

Yeah, it's supposed to be a reference to the infamous Apalachin meeting in 1957, when Mafioso attendees escaped in a very haphazard and embarrassing manner, trudging through the snow and fields, ruining their expensive suits.
a lots going on in that split second look. tonys wondering if johnny set him up, if johnny even knows, if its for him, if its for johnny, if its for both, and for what. that reaction is the proper one, run.
Tony was already nervous about this meeting. 'I have the IQ of 136, its been tested'. He declined to meet Sack in the city and only agreed to the early morning meeting at his house as Sack said he wouldn't give him 'the ammazza' with his wife around. Tony probably didn't even get to see if they were FBI. He legged it when he saw them carrying guns, and thought Sack had set him up.
@@recruitmentch Tony threw his gun away, if he thought he was going to get clipped I doubt he’d toss His piece. Not to mention he spotted that cop car patrolling.
The next scene where Tony is talking to his lawyer and finds out that Johnny would be arrested anyway makes him realize that he didn’t have to kill his cousin. It’s unbelievable how twisted the plot of that show is.
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.
He walked through the creek cause there were cops on the main roads. Dogs can smell the different ingredients in soup, walking through a creek isn’t gonna get the scent off
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
At the end of the day John and Tony are both ultimately reasonable men. Their tempers can get them both into trouble but they never fully commit to bad decisions based on emotion when the stakes are at their highest. Ultimately that was the difference between Johhny Sack and Phil. Phil let emotion drag him all the way into a war that led to his downfall. But Johhny always listened to reason in the end and put money first. That's why Tony and Johhny ended up being friends usually despite their strained relationships. They ultimately both had the same mindset and interests in the ways that mattered.
There isn't really friendship in this business. John was this close of whacking Tony and Tony knew that but it was business that brought them back together. John is a pragmatist and he knows in most cases he gets along great with Tony so its better to have him around and deal with him then someone else who may not be able to deliver as promise and be even a bigger pain in the ass.
@@simle6010 I do agree that John is way more emotionally level-headed than Phil, by a mile, but also don't forget that John wanted Ralphie killed for the Ginny joke and wanted to kill the boss of the 5 families with Tony, although killing Carmine wasn't fueled by emotion, but Ralphie was.
@@simle6010 totally agree...if johnny hadnt of gone to jail that war wouldve never happened...johnny was reasonable and a gentleman and respected tony and vice versa...thats what you call good business...phil fucked everything up

@@user-ve6kv8ue6qTony’s a bad person for a million other reasons than not warning John lmfao. Honestly I’d bet John would understand because he would have done the same thing if they happened to be standing opposite of how they were. I don’t think either of them would consider it to be personal
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...
haha, yeah, you can almost hear the Flintstones bongo drums, his feet running for a second but not moving and then the sound effect of a whip crack, and off he goes!
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.
There was nothing to warn him about-- they would have gotten Sack one way or the other. Tony had a lot to lose by being in his company at that moment. Then again, he left his car in the driveway...
@@SuperRobertoClemente I take that back he had a gun on him which he ditched and was later used to tie him to a murder. So I guess he did have a lot to lose.
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.”
IIRC, the Feds somehow completely miss Tony's trail through the snow so the gun doesn't get found until the snow melted in spring and some kids find it. Standard TV writing strategy - by leaving the gun there and moving on, David Chase could choose to either never mention it again or turn it into a plot point in a later episode if he had a good idea for a script. There are many examples of him choosing both options at different times. Janice being sent off to Seattle after killing Richie was another one of those "keep it on the back burner" decisions by Chase, and he eventually randomly wrote her back into the show.

@@JohnnyDeur between New York and Jersey I strongly do believe he didn’t say anything to John on purpose.. you’d be surprised how selfish Tony Soprano is and it’s proved time again in the show that’s how he is. You can disagree with me sure but don’t type anything else
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.
+Human runner For fucks sake what's everyone obsession with adrenaline all of a sudden? Thank you for the science lesson, but we're all aware of what adrenaline is. I think the "what the fuckery" going on in this scene is the FBI's incompetence. Why the fuck would they send two guys in through the woods about 2 minutes before the raid even starts?
+LSD The cops in the back were getting in position ahead of the cops that were going to kick in the front door. They did not expect to see anyone standing on the back porch. Tony saw them and bolted, escaping before the rest of the cops rolled in.
+Gregg Silk No you are so stupid. That's not what hapened at all. They had a shot gun, and shot guns are used for fishing. They FBI knew who they were and decited to chase them so Tony and the other guy ran. You are really stupid
@@christiansoldier77 I dont know. I’m guessing you haven’t seen a garden disappear under a foot of snow? More importantly...it was a joke. You know? We know he’s the gardener that’s doing snow removal but to an FBI agent, that’s not immediately believable when everything is under a foot of snow. Like I said, joke. But you’re only here dissecting it because you’re trolling me from the other thread where I made you look like an idiot. I see you came here looking for more lol
@@kawi7676 I am not trolling you . You just aren't making any sense. Plus you only made yourself look like a fool that's why you didn't make any more comments LOL
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.
3:11 My favorite part is where they busted the poor little gardener guy who was actually working for free at Johnny's place for protection. Come to think of it, he was actually my favorite character on the show. I wish they'd done more with him...
"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
I mean what could he do? He had a gun on him with hollow points, he had to get out of there. If they ran together it would have been over for both of them.
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.
He did him the one second favour of giving John Sack the double look. Look at FBI then back at at John Sack, then run. I bet if to see if Johnny Sack set him up or not.
for all he knew, sack was settin him up i thought the feds were hitmen, first time watchin this episode he gives johnny the second look, as in 'wtf is this' and he soon realised it was the feds thats my interpetation i guess
@@wheelingguy8335 You first. This is the one great act you can perform in service of humanity, leave the gene pool untainted from the hellish DNA that spawned a... thing like you.
I remember NJ in the winter when I was a kid. It was cooooold. The humidity gave it a bone penetrating iciness, even in the air you breathed. And those streams and creeks running all year long....I always found the gurgling of the waters beautiful. It's been a long time.
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
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.
He was supposed to be in the HBO show "The Night Of" ..John Tutturro is playing the character that Gandolfini was supposed to play....Anyway HBO gave Gandolfini a producer credit in the show which is pretty cool....if you haven't seen it check it out...episode 2 was just on last night.
I’m sure he would have continued to do more great work, but in a way he was done. He almost single-handedly revolutionized television. Very likely nothing else he would have done would have lived up to what he accomplished with “The Sopranos”. That’s not an indictment or a criticism, it’s superlative praise.
He knew he did his cousin beforehand. If you remember, he offered to settle it that way and John refused so he did it anyway, to get it over, and then told Phil where he was so he could think he could do it himself.
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.
yea, I watched it again to see that we never see the actor fall in the snow - it's a stunt guy. That actor would be a little getting on in years to do that fall.
@@wagwan6248 yea I think it’s more accurate That Cardinals are high ranking officials in the church, they Are supposed to be pious and devout. He asked him what are you a freaking cardinal like, who are you to pass judgement ya prick. Don’t think it was about cardinals "banging anything"
@@xorealslowmd Close, but it's actually related to a real Catholic church ruling. If you want to marry your cousin (something known as "affinity") then you have to get "dispensation" from a church official like a bishop or the pope.
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.
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
Even though he had the Cadillac, he still had the Suburban. After he crashed the Caddy one episode, he started driving the Suburban till the Caddy got fixed.
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.
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.
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!"
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.
In real life it's only like a 3 minute drive from Tony's house to Johnny's and only like a 30 minute walk. Tony likely walked down Mountain Road and cut down side streets.
I was trapped like a fly in spider web. Living in a townhome development, I was raided by them in 06. Big Oxy ring. I was far down the ladder but still named in the indictments. Thank God it was an election year, my ex mother inlaw knew some people. I got 5 years probation on a conspiracy
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.
Yep. The fact that David Chase liked to send subtle messages directly to fans also makes me think he was trying to make a connection between the idea of a bear's hibernation and the show's hibernation, since there was two years between this Season 5 finale and the Season 6 premiere.
***** Yes, I'm not saying that they wouldn't have arrested Tony, but they were not Johnny Sack's hitmen, which was the whole point of my first comment.
Yeah I thought the same thing. In fact, I think it would have been a great season finale if that is what it turned out to be. That way the audience would've been in total suspense and excitement for the beginning of the sixth season.

Underappreciated...? No, not even in his own time
He won a million awards for his performance as Tony when he was alive. The guy was celebrated
@@iodedonpeptoHere we go again with the scenarios
I love how he sees the feds, looks back at Johnny briefly before hauling ass it never fails to crack me up
His immediate thought might've been that John set him up. Tony being as paranoid as he was.
He had to make 2 trips to haul ass
@@one0hwon514 mmmm boy, are you fat!
When Tony hauls ass, he has to make two trips
@@ScreenSpectrumFilms Yep. Whether it's Feds, or Johnny's Goons.. RUN REGARDLESS. lol
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.
+Human runner For fucks sake what's everyone obsession with adrenaline all of a sudden? Thank you for the science lesson, but we're all aware of what adrenaline is. I think the "what the fuckery" going on in this scene is the FBI's incompetence. Why the fuck would they send two guys in through the woods about 2 minutes before the raid even starts?
they no intend to arrest tony.
+LSD The cops in the back were getting in position ahead of the cops that were going to kick in the front door. They did not expect to see anyone standing on the back porch. Tony saw them and bolted, escaping before the rest of the cops rolled in.
+Gregg Silk
No you are so stupid. That's not what hapened at all. They had a shot gun, and shot guns are used for fishing. They FBI knew who they were and decited to chase them so Tony and the other guy ran. You are really stupid
+nabil le parrain de montcul i read that comment in Furio's voice.
It’s hard to sell “I’m the gardener” when you’re in a foot of snow.
Ka wi So you think that a garden disappears once it snows??
@@christiansoldier77 yes
@@kawi7676 Why am I not surprised ?
@@christiansoldier77 I dont know. I’m guessing you haven’t seen a garden disappear under a foot of snow? More importantly...it was a joke. You know? We know he’s the gardener that’s doing snow removal but to an FBI agent, that’s not immediately believable when everything is under a foot of snow. Like I said, joke. But you’re only here dissecting it because you’re trolling me from the other thread where I made you look like an idiot. I see you came here looking for more lol
@@kawi7676 I am not trolling you . You just aren't making any sense. Plus you only made yourself look like a fool that's why you didn't make any more comments LOL
When Tony looks at Johnny before running, for that one second he thought it was a setup
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.
Very similar to Meadow singing in choir with Brendan Filine getting whacked and Chris’s mock execution
I got the same thought too
@@diegoalvarez3807 The kids in the school are singing "Mr. Tambourine Man" by Bob Dylan if you listen closely.
The sacred and the propane
Glad you caught that, ahmed. The sacred and the propane.
Lmaoooo Tony left him without even saying shit
you can tell FBI from a hit
Johnny had to hold his own nutts!!
Seriously, he should have told Johnny Sac!
Smart. IF they ran together and got caught together, more headaches.
What difference would it had made ?
I can never again watch this scene without watching the woods for when the Feds come running in.
same
Y dosent Tony give him the heads up
@@michaelduwart2397 probably thought John set him up. Right before he runs his eyes shift from the woods to John and back quickly.
@Greg F. yeah or at least that Tony thought so.
Yup lol
What a great freaking show !!! 10+ years after it ended, people still rewatching clips on TH-cam.
3:11 My favorite part is where they busted the poor little gardener guy who was actually working for free at Johnny's place for protection. Come to think of it, he was actually my favorite character on the show. I wish they'd done more with him...
“Let’s talk about the 500 lb elephant in the room”
Ginnys upstairs tone..
I think you mean the 500 pound mole.
Saying stuff like that gets you kicked half to death in a Jersey alleyway
@Fringe Historian baby elephants
Watch your mouth or John will have you clipped.
The 500 lb elephant in the room was also Tony. ;)
props to tony running in the snow for us fat dudes that aint easy lol
A fucking men
He did that sprint in dress shoes in the snow. Impressive
Yeah...bieng a fat fuck isnt easy for us at all
he did weigh 275 pounds at his death
You calling me fat?
.
.
.
.
OK, I'm fat.
"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
"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 😂
Tony's eyes darting towards the feds and back to John was the only warning he was gonna get lmao
I mean what could he do? He had a gun on him with hollow points, he had to get out of there. If they ran together it would have been over for both of them.
Witcha! I look forward to workin' witcha! :)
I thought Junior said once: "We don't run, its embarrassing".
theres a clip of junior running from a funeral with fbi presence.
+he191254 yup there is lol.
+AVA4444 lol
Jnr's just terrible. Funny, but terrible.
+davidjacksonsr the man had dementia..
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.
Facts 💯
Great insight actually
Set up or hit, he didn’t want to find out.
I took it more as him looking at John thinking "holy fuck you're screwed"
I never thought this way. Now it makes sense why he didn't warn John
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.
Tony sees FBI. Doesn’t say a word to Johnny Sac. Just runs! Lmao
No time
He did him the one second favour of giving John Sack the double look. Look at FBI then back at at John Sack, then run. I bet if to see if Johnny Sack set him up or not.
Johnny Sac was fucked. There was no way he’d escape.
for all he knew, sack was settin him up
i thought the feds were hitmen, first time watchin this episode
he gives johnny the second look, as in 'wtf is this'
and he soon realised it was the feds
thats my interpetation i guess
@@michaelsieger9133 He had his Maserati, fuckin thing is so powerful he had to take a lesson from the dealer, he'd get away. ;P
That's actually frightening seeing fbi come through like that
Spike Spiegel Only if you’re up to something. Then yes. But if you’re a good boy like I am 💫 , then you’ll just be perplexed.
Trust me. Running from feds with their guns drawn like that is the worst. The panic combined with physical exertion is almost surreal
@@wheelingguy8335 You first. This is the one great act you can perform in service of humanity, leave the gene pool untainted from the hellish DNA that spawned a... thing like you.
Fuck the FBI!
@@korypankey8359 No, anyone would freak out seeing something like that. You could be falsely accused of something you didn't do.
they should have done more with the gardener..
Fancy seeing you here.
I remember NJ in the winter when I was a kid. It was cooooold. The humidity gave it a bone penetrating iciness, even in the air you breathed. And those streams and creeks running all year long....I always found the gurgling of the waters beautiful.
It's been a long time.
i'm from massachusetts and it's the same vibe up here. beautiful. always loved winter
The funniest thing is Tony probably actually think he out ran the FBI.
Facts 💯
He did
@@frankroggenkamp7903 why’d they arrest the Gardner then
@@madclone84 good question, but Tony found out in a later episode that he was not the target of this raid.
I mean he did
"I paid enough John, I paid alot"
that line gets me everytime
I always said that line is the most passionate lines Tony ever said. in fact the whole convo here is.
Fully agree, Marissa. Some great acting from James Gandolfini. God rest his soul.
Agreed. Delivered perfectly.
Me too. Love it
No Name he killed his fucking cousin, he paid with blood
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.
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!"
+pac401 I'm only the appraiser!
+pac401 it was broken in the same season
+razbigranicu
Who broke his arm?
Feech La Manna
+razbigranicu And it wasn't pretty either!
the way John slipped in the snow...LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Bummy Davis 😅😅😅😅
And all the snow on his face and coat hahah
That always got me jajajaja
Lol he went down hard
I think he fell and it was unscripted it was fucking epic !!
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
“I’m the Gardener, I’m the…..” 😂 😂
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.
+Lance Uppercut then he gets home and knocks on the back door and Carmela is heard asking, "what the hell happened to you?...look at your shoes!"
+Lance Uppercut I like the very end ,when you see him walk into his own backyard like a big bad bear.
it actually reminded me of my youth when I had to foot it from cops a couple times for smoking weed under the 84th street bridge. omaha ne, circa 1977
husker hammer 84th an where exactly?
That's what I thought, Tony is just like a kid, scared of gettin bagged, every man for himself mentality, there is no Mafia, only individuals
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.
He was supposed to be in the HBO show "The Night Of" ..John Tutturro is playing the character that Gandolfini was supposed to play....Anyway HBO gave Gandolfini a producer credit in the show which is pretty cool....if you haven't seen it check it out...episode 2 was just on last night.
@@telephonic cracking show also
the way he fuckin ate he would ve had a heart attack by the time he was 51.
I’m sure he would have continued to do more great work, but in a way he was done. He almost single-handedly revolutionized television. Very likely nothing else he would have done would have lived up to what he accomplished with “The Sopranos”. That’s not an indictment or a criticism, it’s superlative praise.
" I paid enough John, I paid alot" is acting at its finest 👌
Tony's face when he sees the agents.
*Quick look at John*
"I'd better get a headstart"
*Doesn't say a word and runs*
Hahahahahaha
Hahah! That was smooth how he did it just left Johnny behind. Just booked it 😂
it's like the old saying if you're being chased by a lion. "You don't need to be faster than the lion. Just faster than than the guy next to you"
Its so funny seeing Tony run through the woods like he was a 15 year old and the sheriff broke up the kegger .
Hahaha
I remember the one keg party I went to I saw the cops early and left
He had the makings of a Varsity sprinter.
i was thinkin the same thing growin up in new england we always had to book through snow and ice in the dark though good times
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.
Great point! I never thought of that but I think you’re right.
@Agent 39 this is why John settles down right after Tony said that and says "maybe I could sell it".
@Agent 39 that crap happens all the time to me too
@@flightofthebumblebee9529 Me too.
He knew he did his cousin beforehand. If you remember, he offered to settle it that way and John refused so he did it anyway, to get it over, and then told Phil where he was so he could think he could do it himself.
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.
They yanked up the Sal the gardener but somehow missed the husky mobster that they totally know making a slow paced getaway through snow.
The guy that played Johnny Sac was great
Vincent Curatola
@chimneyclimber What? No way.
@chimneyclimber Thats false he had been in a few films/TV shows prior
I love how his gun made a perfectly gun shaped imprint in the snow lol
Was you expecting a snow angel instead?
That’s east coast snow for ya!
That comes back to haunt him when some kid finds it.
They did it with CGI
@@chardtomp , that was a ridiculous charge. Nevertheless, didn’t Neil Mink (his lawyer) take care of that and made it go away. 😊
Is it just me or did anyone else find the way Johnny ran when he first saw the agents funny !? 😂
Oh my fucking Christ
🏃
its so cute
that use of a double for Jonny Sack's fall in the snow was mint! hahahaha
yea, I watched it again to see that we never see the actor fall in the snow - it's a stunt guy. That actor would be a little getting on in years to do that fall.
Underrated line:
Sack: “What kind of man bangs his 2nd cousin”
Tony: “what are you the freaking Cardinal?” 😂😂😂😂
Sack: "What happened to this thing? We bend more rules than Church."
Idgi
@lord havmercy thanks
@@wagwan6248 yea I think it’s more accurate That Cardinals are high ranking officials in the church, they Are supposed to be pious and devout. He asked him what are you a freaking cardinal like, who are you to pass judgement ya prick. Don’t think it was about cardinals "banging anything"
@@xorealslowmd Close, but it's actually related to a real Catholic church ruling. If you want to marry your cousin (something known as "affinity") then you have to get "dispensation" from a church official like a bishop or the pope.
Tony does better in the snow than Paulie - he keeps both his shoes. Must have been due to having shoelaces.
Tony shoes were much more expensive than Paulie's, quality counts.
Small feet, that was his problem.
YOU JUST WASHED YOUR HANDS!!!
@@njc2107 even still , bacterium migrate up the shoe lace
@@TY-gh2yf you see that in tv?
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.
I like the fact that you can notice the Feds coming while Johnny's talking
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.
FUCKING CHRIST!!
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
Really liked the suburban tho
Even though he had the Cadillac, he still had the Suburban. After he crashed the Caddy one episode, he started driving the Suburban till the Caddy got fixed.
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.
Bruh! Why is there a gardener mowing grass in winter?? 🤣
Fbi: "whats that imprint in the snow?"
Jimmy: "it's a fucking gun!"
so did you find Carlos lipstick
It’s a fucking russian whore
IT WAS A FUCKING ANIMAL
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
So I am not the only one lol
It's you who's got the problem.
I'm glad I'm not the only one!!
Like watching the DirecTV logo hit the corner of the tv screen.
So many times where I thought "Now, here they come... oh no, still nothing"
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.
Johnny Sack had one of the fastest falls from grace imaginable. So high so far to fall
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!"
Fuck who?
It just dawned on me that a 500lb elephant is actually a pretty small elephant.
The real phrase is "800 pound gorilla in the room." It's a classic Sopranos example of screwing up quotes and metaphors.
Let's talk about the 500 pound mole on the ass
Let's talk about the 500 pound mole on the ass
When Johnny Sack slipped that had me in tears laughing
LazyBoiGaming
When Johnny Sack flipped that had me in tears crying
Or how about the about face at 3:00 “ nope I’m running this way”
I love it when he slips. Then gets picked up. Trying to look dignified with snow all over him 😁
That shits not funny.
We don't run, it's embarrassing!
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.
one of my all-time fav scenes.
Also credit to Tony for knowing how to get home by foot without taking main roads.
I mean he is an OG after all
Credit to Tony for being familiar with where he lives?
In real life it's only like a 3 minute drive from Tony's house to Johnny's and only like a 30 minute walk. Tony likely walked down Mountain Road and cut down side streets.
Do you think his jacket and shoes are ruined or can you take them to the martinizing
@@mrsnoopyaaaaa His shoes are just wet, drying and polishing should fix that
Jacket can be restitched as it's just the seam that's torn
I love how there's no "John! The feds!" He just runs.
It's what makes the scene so good. It's such a realistic reaction he had.
For the mafia, when the feds come, it's everyone for themselves
Plus for all he knew John set him up
He knows that he only has to outrun John.
That would be an additional obstruction charge.
The way Johnny sack falls is so hilarious 😆
You mean John’s stunt double? 😂
Agreed. Perfect. Couldn't have feel any funnier . Was pissing myself
Great scene, great writing, great acting
Tony always had the makings of a varsity cross country athlete.
If they ever add cross country running to the winter Olympics then he could get gold.
No he didn’t
"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.
usain bolt is stretching it a bit..🤣😂🤣
When you see cops coming for you, you run. Nothing embarrassing about that. Doesn't take anything away from your honor.
Junior says that then runs from the feds at the funeral lol
I was trapped like a fly in spider web. Living in a townhome development, I was raided by them in 06. Big Oxy ring. I was far down the ladder but still named in the indictments. Thank God it was an election year, my ex mother inlaw knew some people. I got 5 years probation on a conspiracy
Never run from cops but feds with shotguns is a different story
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
“500 pound elephant” that’s a rather small elephant! I love tony
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:
Yeah but he admitted to Cosa Nostra in court and on TV
And was disgraced
@@wotan_nightshade it was for his wife
@@acat6145 You never admit the existence of this thing.
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.
Yep. The fact that David Chase liked to send subtle messages directly to fans also makes me think he was trying to make a connection between the idea of a bear's hibernation and the show's hibernation, since there was two years between this Season 5 finale and the Season 6 premiere.
oO0E where does he do that? he never gets to his house in thiw video
Wow I never thought about it that way
Tony is the shinebox returning to his home.
With Van Morrison playing. It's a perfect scene.
Love the look on Gandolfini's face at 3.35. What an actor!
Paul Giamatti should have won an Emmy as the Gardner
"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.
That line always stuck with me. I got the chance to use it once. But yeah, it's not the line so much as the delivery.
When I first watched this episode I thought the guys appearing over the ridge were hitmen going to take out Tony.
***** No, they were FBI agents there to arrest Johhny Sack.
***** Yes, I'm not saying that they wouldn't have arrested Tony, but they were not Johnny Sack's hitmen, which was the whole point of my first comment.
lee raeside Yup, and I thought Tony thought that too at first.
Yeah I thought the same thing. In fact, I think it would have been a great season finale if that is what it turned out to be. That way the audience would've been in total suspense and excitement for the beginning of the sixth season.
Kilroykung Tony knew they were FBI. If he thought they were hitmen why did he throw away his gun?
Tony’s run got me crying
The way tony stares and just bolts🤣🏃🏽♂️💨
