Goodfellas: Wise guys!

Imagine about your profession being a set of perilous crimes...airport robbing, murdering, gambling..and making money, I repeat making money out of all of it and throw it away faster than you can would and should. For general people, guns are scary. But when you hold them, they are a turn on. When you are bored enough with all this you can switch to something new..D***-Dealing. See its a business and you can always do more of it because you will want to do more of it. You are broke, rob some more You are dangerous and somehow that makes you a respectable person in your community. You can do things none of them can. Your initial perks are you never have to wait for nething, no waiting queues, you get the freshest bread, your driveway is always left empty and those no-ones carry your grocery for you because ,lets face it, you are the esteemed one. Prove yourself and don’t be a rat, everything is a phone call away, Free cars, dozen apartments to hide, Jewelry in paper bags in kitchen, betting 20-30 grand over a weekend and blow it off asap . Since you can rob, I am sorry make any amount of money and since you are handful so you keep everyone…cops lawyers judges paid good. Everything is for the taking.

“We always called each other ‘goodfellas’. Like you say to somebody..You’ll like this guy. He is a good-fella. He’s one of us. You understand? We were goodfellas. Wise guys”


‘Police!Freeze! Don’t you move you MotherF*****! I’ll blow your brains out. Shut the car off slowly’

‘For a second I thought I was dead. But when I heard all the noise I knew they were cops. Only cops talk that way. If they’d been wiseguys, I wouldn’t have heard a thing. I would have been dead’


‘..And now its all over. That’s the hardest part Today everything is different. There is no action. I got to wait around like everyone else, cant even get decent food. I am an average nobody. Got to live the rest of my life like a schnook’

As far back as I can remember, I've always wanted to be a gangster." -- Henry Hill, Brooklyn, N.Y. 1955
