Episode 225

Goodfellas

After the title sequence to The Mayhem Critic is shown, we open on a warm November afternoon as we see our favorite residential movie critic Sean J. Archer, a.k.a. the Mayhem Critic, walking through the front door before he is greeted by Taylor, who was busy sitting on the couch watching a new episode of Days of Our Lives on Peacock.

"Hey, sweetie. What's up?" Sean asked.

"Oh, nothing much. I just finished watching the new episode of Days of Our Lives. Man, I just want to punch Tate in the throat for sleeping with Sophia. And Holly is back from Paris, just wait until she finds out." Taylor said. "So, what about you?"

"Oh, nothing much. I just got back from a screening of Goodfellas." Sean said.

A stunned look appeared on Taylor face as she immediately got up from off of the couch.

"Wait a minute. You did what?" Taylor asked.

"I was at Cinemark and they were showing Goodfellas. Boy, was it jam-packed. And it was my first time seeing it in theaters too." Sean said.

Eerie music began to play in the background as Taylor runs towards Sean to cover his mouth to silence him.

"Shut up! Don't say a word! Don't even breathe!" Taylor shouted as Sean moved her hand away from his mouth.

"Why? What's going on?" Sean asked.

"Put on your mask." Taylor said.

"Are you serious? I've been vaccinated. I'm fine." Sean said.

"PUT ON YOUR DAMN MASK!" Taylor yelled out.

"Okay, what is going on here? Just tell me right now." Sean said.

"You watched Goodfellas in a local theater that was packed. I've seen this happen before. And this happened with the Nostalgia Critic. My God. It's already spreading." Taylor said.

"WHAT IS ALREADY SPREADING?!" Sean exclaimed.

The couple then look towards the camera dramatically as they see Brian, Callie and Dave are standing in front of them, dressed as gangsters.

"As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster." Brian said, imitating Henry Hill as the song "Rags to Riches" by Tony Bennett starts playing.

"Oh, shit! Fad pressions! I've seen this before on the Nostalgia Critic's review of Tombstone! My God, what have I done?!" Sean exclaimed.

"I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers." Dave said, imitating Jimmy Two Times.

"Is there any way we could stop it?" Sean asked.

"No. No chance in hell. They want to remind you that this movie is popular." Taylor said.

"Callie, you're a pistol. You're a funny gal." Brian said.

"Funny? What do you mean I'm funny? You mean the way I talk? What? Am I a clown? Am I here to amuse you? Is that what you're saying?!" Callie asked, imitating Tommy DeVito.

"No, I'm just saying that you like to make people laugh like Bozo the Clown." Brian said.

"ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT!" Callie shouted.

The brunette began to beat up Brian right in front of Sean, Taylor and Dave while Dave tries to break it up.

"Oh, Callie! Come on! Quit beatin' up on Brian here!" Dave said, imitating Jimmy Conway.

"You want laughter? I've got your laughter here! Here's your laughter!" Callie exclaimed.

Sean and Taylor look on in shock as they watch the trio imitating the characters from Goodfellas.

"Hey Callie, go home and get your shine box." Brian said, imitating Billy Batts.

"I don't do that anymore." Callie said.

"I'm just bustin' your balls." Brian said.

"Well, babe, I can tell you one thing." Sean said.

"What's that?" Taylor asked.

"I'm gettin' the hell out of here!" Sean exclaimed as he pushed Taylor out of the way.

The young critic runs down the hall and makes his way to the basement door as the trio chase him while they're screaming out "Shine box! Shine box!". Sean heads into the basement and closed the door behind him, locking it as he makes his way to his man cave, which contains some of his Blu-Rays and DVDs on a shelf, his 4k HD TV, a couch, his PS5, Nintendo Switch, his Ultra 4k Blu-Ray player, a pool table, a coffee table and a bar that he had installed and of course movie posters and pictures hanging on the walls. Sean sighed in relief knowing that he'll be safe away from the trio.

"They'll never get me in here." Sean said as he walked over to his black leather couch and looks left and right before looking at the camera with a smirk on his face. "Never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut."

(The title screen for "Goodfellas" is shown, followed by clips from the movie while the song "My Way" by the Sex Pistols plays in the background)

Sean: (Narrating) Released in theaters on September 19th, 1990, Goodfellas was a film that became a high point in Martin Scorsese's career. Based on the book "Wiseguy" by New York crime reporter Nicholas Pileggi, Scorsese did not intend to make another Mafia movie until he saw a review of Pileggi's book that he read while he was working on The Color of Money back in 1986. After reading the book, Scorsese was fascinated by the mob lifestyle and was drawn to Pileggi's book because he thought it was the most honest portrayal of gangsters that he has ever read. This is a movie for people who are fans of gangster movies, it is the definitive gangster movie. Even people who aren't fans of gangster movies find themselves loving this movie because of it's depiction of gangsters and became fascinated by the mob lifestyle and the life of Henry Hill, which the book and the movie chronicled. This film stars some of the best well-known stars who we all know and love like Robert DeNiro, Ray Liotta, Joe Pesci, Lorraine Bracco and Paul Sorvino, when I first watched this movie when I was about 14 years old, I fell in love with the movie the first time I've watched it, I know a lot a people had. After the movie's release, it became one of the greatest gangster films of all time and after the movie's release, we've got a surge of excellent gangster movies of the 90s like A Bronx Tale and Donnie Brasco (Posters for the two movies mentioned are shown), but it was Goodfellas that paved the way and it became a huge part of pop culture. And if you grew up watching Animaniacs, you know what the Goodfeathers is a parody of.

(A clip from Animaniacs is shown)

Pesto (Voiced by Chick Vennera): What do ya mean by that?

Squit (Voiced by Maurice LaMarche): Why, I said you're swell, that's all.

Pesto: You sayin' that I got a big head? Is that what you're saying? What am I a bloated, puffy round head here to amuse you?

Sean: (Narrating) Today, we're going to take a look at why so many folks call it the best gangster movie of all time and why they've become fascinated with the mob lifestyle and Henry Hill's history after watching it. With that said, if you are interested in how historically accurate it is or if you want to check out a review of the movie, then check out History Buffs' channel and Michael Franzese's channel. You've got some pretty great vids by two pretty great guys who love the film as much as I do. And not only am I going to talk about how historically accurate this movie is, I will also talk about the style and filmmaking. So, let's take a closer look to find out.

"This is one of my favorite gangster movies of all time, aside from The Godfather, but this one is still my number one favorite gangster movie. This is Goodfellas." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) The film opens with some incredible text being synchronized to the passing of traffic, which sets the tone for how well this movie was made and the opening titles were created by Saul and Elaine Bass, who I've mentioned before in my Cape Fear review. We're then told that this movie was based on a true story and we see that this is New York in the year 1970 and we see our three characters Henry Hill played by the late Ray Liotta, Jimmy Conway played by Robert DeNiro and Tommy DeVito played by Joe Pesci in a role that won him an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, as we see the three of them taking a nice leisurely drive until they hear something that doesn't sound right.

Henry Hill (Played by Ray Liotta): What the fuck is that?

(A thumping sound is heard)

Henry Hill: Jimmy.

Tommy DeVito (Played by Joe Pesci): What's up?

Henry Hill: Did I hit something?

Tommy DeVito: What the fuck is that? Is there a flat?

Henry Hill: W- -No.

"I just love that we're immediately thrown into confusion. They're making us think if they hit something or someone or maybe there's something else happening." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) They drive into the woods and Henry opens the trunk and we see a very bloody man in the trunk of the car and they proceed to brutally murder the poor guy.

Tommy DeVito: He's still alive. You fuckin' piece of shit. (Tommy stabs the man to death with a butcher knife) Die, you motherfucker. Look at my fuckin' eyes! Die!

(Tommy backs away as Jimmy walks over and shoots the man four times)

Henry Hill: (Narrating) As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster.

(Henry shuts the trunk and the scene freezes on him while the song "Rags to Riches" begin to play)

"Still one of the best opening lines in cinematic history. Even though, you could have Henry start off his opening narration with this." Sean said.

(The record scratches as we get a freeze frame shot of Henry after he shuts the trunk as the song "Baba O'Riley" by The Who plays in the background)

Sean: (V/O as Henry Hill) Yup, that's me. You're probably wondering how I ended up in this situation.

Sean: (Narrating) After the awesome opening credits, we cut to East New York, Brooklyn in 1955 where we see young Henry Hill, played by Christopher Serrone, becoming enamored with the mob lifestyle, because of how much power Mafia people have as he watches from his window admiring every single part of the Mafia lifestyle, loving the freedom aspect of it. Plus, I would like to point out that the shot of Henry looking out the window was taken almost directly from Hitchcock's Psycho since Scorsese's been influenced by Hitchcock.

Henry Hill: (Narrating) To me it meant being somebody in a neighborhood that was full of nobodies. They weren't like anybody else. I mean, they did whatever they wanted. They double-parked in front of a hydrant. Nobody ever gave them a ticket. In the summer when they played cards all night, nobody ever called the cops.

Sean: (Narrating) We're then introduced to caporegime Paulie Cicero, played by the late Paul Sorvino, and we see that he's the boss over everybody and I love the fact that he looks like a menacing mobster that would just whack you right on the spot if you screw up. Anyway, we see Henry's family life for a bit, then we see him skipping school to work at the cab stand that was run by Paulie's brother Tuddy, played by Frank DiLeo. That is until, Henry's father, played by Beau Starr, learns gets a letter from his school about him not showing up in months, so he does what every father does in the 50s, give their kid a good 'ol fashioned beating.

Henry's Father (Played by Beau Starr): (Hits Henry) In months! (Hits Henry in the face once more) You think you're so smart? (Starts beating Henry with his belt) You're nothing but a bum! You want to grow to be a bum?!

(Henry's father continues to beat him with his belt while his mother cries out while trying to stop him before we get a freeze frame shot of him about to hit Henry)

Henry Hill: (Narrating) But after a while, he was mostly pissed because I hung around the cab stand. He knew what went on at that cab stand, and every once in a while, I'd have to take a beating. But by then I didn't care. The way I saw it, everybody takes a beating sometime.

"I mean, can you blame him? I would be pissed off too if I was in Halloween 5." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) Henry breaks the news to Tuddy that he can't make deliveries for the cab stand anymore because his father wants him to stay in school, so Tuddy has a better solution, kidnap Henry's mailman and threaten him, Mafia style.

Tuddy Cicero (Played by Frank DiLeo): You know this kid?

Mailman (Played by Peter Hock): Yeah.

Tuddy Cicero: You know where he lives?

Mailman: Yeah.

Tuddy Cicero: You deliver mail to his house?

Mailman: Yeah.

Tuddy Cicero: From now on, any letter from that school to that kid's house comes directly here, you understand?

Mailman: Yeah.

Tuddy Cicero: If another letter from that school goes to that kid's house, in the fuckin' oven you're gonna go head first!

(Tony Stacks opens the pizza oven and him and Ronnie stick the mailman's head inside the oven)

"I just love how that little kid was busy watching Don Vittorio and Paulie Gualtieri threatening the mailman while he's eating his pizza." Sean said, chuckling a bit.

Sean: (Narrating) Yeah, Henry Hill stopped going to school. The thing is this, he was dyslexic and he was performing poorly in school. After he dropped out of high school, he started working exclusively for the Varios. In here, we see Henry working for the Ciceros and we see him blowing up cars in a car lot. Damn!

(We cut to Henry standing in front of the door, surprising his mother while wearing a snazzy suit)

Young Henry (Played by Christopher Serrone): Hi, Mom. What do you think?

(Henry's mother sees what he's wearing)

Young Henry: Look at my shoes. Aren't they great?

Henry's Mother (Played by Elaine Kagan): My God, you look like a gangster.

"Look at you. You look like Christian Slater from Mobsters. And it's a sucky movie." Sean said, imitating Henry's mother.

Sean: (Narrating) Henry sees a man who's been shot and tries to help the poor soul while Tuddy gets ticked off at him for using 8 aprons on the guy.

Tuddy Cicero: You're a real jerk. You wasted 8 fuckin' aprons on this guy. What the hell's wrong with you. I got to toughen this kid up.

"Yeah. I'm pretty sure that Vinnie won't be making pizza while wearing a bloody apron." Sean said.

"Well, how's he ever gonna learn?" Brian asked, sipping his grape soda.

Sean: (Narrating) Paulie introduces Henry to Jimmy "The Gent" Conway and he begins as a fence for him. Jimmy Conway is one of the most-feared gangsters ever. I would also like to point out that since it's a true story, some of the characters were based on some of the real-life mobsters. You have Paul Vario and Jimmy Burke and you also have Tommy DeSimone, who we'll talk about later. Anyway, Henry begins working as a fence for Jimmy and working alongside Tommy DeVito as they sell cigarettes. We also see that some of the cops who are crooked buy cigarettes from them. While him and Tommy are busy selling cigarettes, the cops arrest Henry for selling cigarettes and Tommy runs away to tell Paulie and the others that they were caught and Henry got arrested. Now, this was much different. You see, Henry Hill's first arrest was when he was 16 when him and Paul Vario's son Lenny tried to use a stolen credit card to buy snow tires for Tuddy's wife. Both Henry and Lenny returned to Tuddy's place and Henry got arrested by two detectives.

"I will talk about some of the differences between the movie and what actually happened." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) I can tell you what the movie did right, Henry didn't snitch on Paulie and his crew in court. He stayed quiet. Because that kind of thing is frowned upon in the Mafia world. Also, Jimmy is proud of what Henry has done.

Young Henry: I thought you'd be mad.

Jimmy Conway (Played by Robert DeNiro): Mad? I'm not mad. I'm proud of you. You took your first pinch like a man and you learned the two greatest things in life.

Young Henry: What?

Jimmy Conway: Look at me. Never rat on your friends and always keep your mouth shut.

"Yeah, I'm sure that little lesson will help him out later on in life. I'm pretty sure that he won't rat on you guys in court." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) We then cut to 1963, where we see that Henry grew up to be Paul Krendler, and Tommy DeVito grew up to be an awesome Joe Pesci performance. Now, they did leave something out. When Henry was 17, he joined the United States Army as the FBI was investigating organized crime, but he eventually returned to keep working for Paul Vario and his people. Anyway, Henry began his most notorious phase of his criminal career, which is stealing trucks and easy money from JFK airport. Then, we get one of my favorite scenes where Henry introduces some of the some of the other mobsters.

Henry Hill: (Narrating) There was Jimmy and Tommy and me, and there was Anthony Stabile.

Anthony Stabile (Played by Frank Adonis): Hey, how are you doing?

Henry Hill: (Narrating) Frankie Carbone.

Frankie Carbone (Played by Frank Sivero): Che dice? Come se va.

Henry Hill: (Narrating) And then there was Mo Black's brother Fat Andy.

Fat Andy (Played by Louis Eppolito): How are you doing, buddy?

Henry Hill: (Narrating) And his guys, Frankie the Wop…

Frankie the Wop (Played by Tony Lip): Are you staying out of trouble?

Henry Hill: (Narrating) Freddy No Nose…

Freddy No Nose (Played by Mikey Black): How you doing?

Henry Hill: (Narrating) And then there was Pete the Killer), who was Sally Balls' brother.

Pete the Killer (Played by Peter Cicale): I took care of that thing for ya.

Henry Hill: (Narrating) Then you had Nickey Eyes…

Nickey Eyes (Played by John Manca): How you doing, guy?

Henry Hill: (Narrating) And Mikey Franzese.

Mikey Franzese (Played by Joseph Bono): I saw that guy. Yeah, I wanna see him.

Henry Hill: (Narrating) And Jimmy Two Times who got that nickname because he said everything twice, like…

Jimmy Two Times (Played by Anthony Powers): I'm going to go get the papers, get the papers.

(A clip from Blazing Saddles is shown)

Taggart (Played by Slim Pickens): Could you repeat that, sir?

Sean: (Narrating) Yeah, I just love seeing the different mobsters that Henry and his friends hang out with. This is the Mafia lifestyle that I'm talking about. Also, you have a guy who's about to become a Simpsons character later on (A picture of Louie is shown next to Frankie Carbone). Plus, I love some of the gangsters' names. Some are pretty good, while others are pretty silly. I was expecting to see a guy named Tony Pajamas and Johnny Tightlips to show up. And it's not everyday you see a gangster named "Mikey Franzese", when I thought that was the actual Michael Franzese. And I would like to talk about the movie's cinematography, it's done amazingly welly. The late Michael Ballhaus worked on the cinematography for the movie and we get the traditional zooms in a Scorsese movie. Don't just love seeing those? (As the camera zooms in on Frenchy as he steps foot inside the club and the camera zooms in on Henry as he gets up) I mean, I'm just waiting for Wayne to yell out "Extreme Close-Up" every time I see a zoom-in shot on a person.

(A sound clip from Saturday Night Live plays as we get another zoom-in shot, this time it's on Jimmy)

Wayne Campbell (Played by Mike Myers): (V/O) Extreme Close-Up! WAAAAAAAAAAH!

Henry Hill: Tell him. Tell him what you were telling me, Frenchy.

Frenchy (Played by Mike Starr): Too good to be true. Big score coming from Air France. Bags of money like this comin' in. Okay? From tourists and American servicemen who changed their money into French money, sent it back here. It's beautiful. It's totally, totally untraceable, ok?

Henry Hill: The only problem is getting a key. But I got something all worked out.

Frenchy: If I'm right, there could be half a mil coming in, all cash.

Henry Hill: He said the best time is probably over the weekend.

Frenchy: We got the Jewish holiday on Monday. They won't find out till Tuesday. Beautiful.

Jimmy Conway: What about the security?

Frenchy: Security? You're looking at it. I'm the midnight-to-8:00 man.

"Security is not the only problem that Frenchy is going to deal with. He's got to deal with these two idiots." Sean said as a picture of Harry and Lloyd from Dumb & Dumber are shown.

Sean: (Narrating) Anyway, here's an awesome Joe Pesci performance.

Tommy DeVito: I'm in the middle of the fuckin' weeds, layin' down. He comes over and he says, "What are you doing?" I say, "I'm resting." "Here you're restin'?" I know I'm restin'. I'm restin'! They pull me in. They start giving me all kinds of questions. You know, this and that. And he says, "What are you going to tell us, tough guy?" I said, "My usual. Zero. Nothing. Why tell you, you fuck?" He says, "No, you're going to tell me something today, tough guy." I said, "Alright, I'll tell you something. Go fuck your mother."

(Henry and the other laugh at Tommy's story)

Tommy DeVito: Bing! Pow! Boom! Ping! You saw the paper. My hair was up like this. So know I'm coming around, you know. I'm starting to come out of it and who do I see in front of me? This big prick again. He says, "Oh, what do you want to tell me now, tough guy?" I said, "Me? What are you doing here? I thought I told you to go fuck your mother."

(They continue to laugh)

Tommy DeVito: I thought I was going to shit. Pow! Ping! Pooh! The motherfuckers! I wish I was big just once.

Henry Hill: You're a pistol, you're really funny. You're really funny.

Tommy DeVito: What do you mean I'm funny?

Henry Hill: It's funny, you know. It's a good story, it's funny. You're a funny guy. (Laughs)

Tommy DeVito: What do you mean, you mean the way I talk? What?

Henry Hill: It's just, you know. You're just funny, it's… funny, you know the way you tell the story and everything.

(It suddenly becomes quiet)

Tommy DeVito: Funny how? What's funny about it?

Anthony Stabile: Tommy, you got it all wrong.

Tommy DeVito: Oh, oh, Anthony. He's a big boy, he knows what he said. What did you say? Funny how?

Henry Hill: Jus…

Tommy DeVito: What?

Henry Hill: Just… you know… you're funny.

"You can thank our parents for letting us watch Animaniacs for years until we figured out where that running gag came from." Sean said.

Tommy DeVito: You mean, let me understandyou. Maybe it's me. I'm a little fucked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh? I'm here to fuckin' amuse you?

"Well, you did amuse us with your little rap song." Sean said. "No, I'm not joking. Joe Pesci actually released a rap song on his album back in 1998 and there's a music video for the song."

(A clip from the Joe Pesci music video "Wise Guy" is shown)

Joe Pesci: (Sings) Hey, hey, paid out my ass. Treat all the broads like trash, you'll catch a blast if you move too fast. I talk with class, you don't have to ask. Getting everything by flash and cash.

(A clip from The Sopranos is shown. It's from the third season episode "Cold Stones", where we see Tony laughing)

"Yeah, I bet you all are laughing your asses off after seeing that music video. I know I did too. And this is coming from a guy who won an Academy Award for his performance. And he's doing a silly rap? Yeah, I find you amusing buddy." Sean said.

Suddenly, Sean's phone starts to ring as he picks it up from off of the coffee table and answers it.

"Huh. I wonder who it is." Sean said before answering the phone. "Hello?"

Joe Pesci: (as Nicky Santoro) Where the fuck you get off talking to people about me behind my back going over my head?

"Holy cow, it's Joe Pesci! Dude, I love your work." Sean said.

Joe Pesci: You said I'm bringing heat on you. I gotta listen to people because of your fuckin' shit?! You're orderin' me out? You better get your own fuckin' army, pal!

"Look, if it's about me mentioning your rap song. I apologize. I had no choice." Sean said.

Joe Pesci: You know I don't wanna bring this up, but you've been treatin' a lot of people with a lot of disrespect, even your own wife.

"Actually, she's my girlfriend, and yes, I tend to do some stupid stuff around her and..." Sean said.

Joe Pesci: You'll fuckin' learn! Don't ever go over my fuckin' head again! You motherfucker you!

"Okay, no need to talk to me like that." Sean said.

Joe Pesci: Get this through your head, you Jew motherfucker, you! You only exist out here because of me!

"Oh, boy. I shouldn't have mentioned his rap song." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) But don't worry, Tommy was only screwing with Henry. That's why he's my favorite character from the movie. He's so badass, he made Ray Liotta scared out of his wits. In fact, this scene was based on something that actually happened to Joe Pesci. When he was young, he was working in a restaurant and he apparently told a mobster that he was funny, and that compliment was met with a less-than-enthusiastic response. He told that story to Scorsese, who decided to include that bit in the movie.

"I bet he'll scare Macauley Culkin on the set of Home Alone with that bit." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) I haveto say that the acting in this movie is first-rate. Ray Liotta is fantastic as Henry Hill as we see him enjoying the Mafia lifestyle. Robert DeNiro is fantastic as always as well. And as for Joe Pesci, oh man! He literally stole the show playing a character who would end up going into a violent rage on you and kill you on the spot. He can be funny yet scary at the same time. Just watch what he does to this guy after he gives him the check instead of the waiter.

Sonny Bunz (Played by Tony Darrow): It's 7 fuckin' big ones here. 7 fuckin' Gs you owe me. $7,000, I mean, ain't peanuts. I don't mean to be out of order or nothin', but-

Tommy DeVito: (Chuckles) You didn't mean to be out of order? Jeez, it's good you don't mean to be out of order, Sonny. You call embarrassing me in front of my friends, more like callin' me a fucking deadbeat. You know, Sonny, you're a real fuckin' mutt. (Grabs Sonny by his tie) You know the money we spend in this fuckin'-

Sonny Bunz: What are you talkin' about? Come on. Now don't be like that, Tommy. Come on!

Tommy DeVito: What do you mean don't be like that?

(Tommy smashes a beer bottle over Sonny's head and everybody laughs)

"That is like something that would be in Jane Austen's Mafia!, but it feels more like something in The Sopranos." Sean said.

Tommy DeVito: Do you believe this prick? You think this is funny, huh? (Turns his attention to the waiter) What the fuck are you looking at? (Knocksa tray over) You fuckin'... you fuckin' moron.

Sean: (V/O as Tommy) Now get outta here before I go off on you about drive-thrus!

Henry Hill: (Laughs) You really are a funny guy!

Tommy DeVito: That's it! That's it!

(Tommy playfully attacks Henry)

"Whoa! Tommy! Lay off on Henry here! I'm just tryin' to enjoy my meal." Sean said, imitating Bobby from Animaniacs.

Sean: (Narrating) Sonny Bunz, played by Tony Darrow, talks to Paul about his little problem with Tommy and that he's running scared from this guy.

Paul Cicero (Played by Paul Sorvino): You think you're the only one? I talk to them a million times. They don't listen.

Sonny Bunz: If you tell him, he'll stop. I'm gonna wind up declared an M.I.A., they gonna find me in the back of a car somewhere, in the weeds? Come on. You know this fuckin' Tommy all your life. Who knows better than you? This cocksucker's an arch criminal. I mean, when I leave my house in the morning, before I get to the car, I'm looking over both shoulders. This is no way to live. You know I'm no fence-jumper. I'm around you all my life. Tell me what I gotta do. Whatever the fuck I gotta do, I'll do.

Paul Cicero: What could I do? If there was something I could do, I'd do it. You know me. I'd like to help you out. (Shrugs at Henry while making a face)

"I never thought I'd see the day when Paul Sorvino..." Sean said.

(Cut to the paused image of Paul shrugging at Henry)

Sean: (Narrating) ...gives a look like, "Jesus! This guy's a complete pussy.". Sonny wants Paul to be a partner in the restaurant business to help Sonny out, which he agrees. Oh, yeah. Henry and Tommy burn down the restaurant and Tommy tries to get Henry to go on a double date with this woman he's dating and her friend. And that woman happens to be Karen Friedman, played by Lorraine Bracco, and let's just say that this date is awkward between the two of them because Henry has to meet Tuddy.

Karen Hill (Played by Lorraine Bracco): Have some coffee. It'll wake you up.

Henry Hill: Joe, can we have the check?

Tommy DeVito: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Where're you going?

Henry Hill: I gotta go.

Tommy DeVito: Go where? We just got here.

Henry Hill: I got that thing. I got to go.

Tommy DeVito: Well, wait a couple of minutes. We'll all leave together. Okay, this way you don't go out like a bunch of hobos, staggering out one at a time.

Karen Hill: (Narrating) I couldn't stand him. I thought he was really obnoxious. He kept fidgeting around.

"Suddenly, Lorraine Bracco is doing the narrating instead of Ray Liotta." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) I absolutely love how they switch from Henry's narrating to Karen narrating and talking about Henry and how he was a jerk towards her. And yes, that's true. Their first date was disastrous and for the second date, Henry just stood her up. Anyway after being stood up by Henry, Tommy takes Karen to go look for him and she sees him hanging out at the cab stand.

Karen Hill: You got some nerve standing me up. Nobody does that to me. Who the hell do you think you are? Frankie Vali or some kind of big shot?

(Tuddy watches while the others laugh at Henry)

Henry Hill: Take it easy! Slow down, slow down, all right? I forgot! I thought it was next week.

Karen Hill: It was Friday! It was this Friday, and you agreed! So you're a liar!

"Karen, relax. I mean, no need to yell at Henry and embarrass him in front of his friends." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) Henry apologizes to Karen for standing her up and wants to make it up to her by taking her out on a date, which she agrees. So he picks her up at her parents' house and here's one little problem, I mean, a minor problem. Well, a huge problem: her parents are Jewish, and Henry is half-Irish and half-Italian, and that's a big problem. That's like a black guy going out with a white woman and her parentsare white.

Karen Hill: (Covers Henry's cross by buttoning his shirt) Quick, you have to cover that cross. My mother sees that cross...

Karen's Mother (Played by Suzanne Shepherd): Karen?

Karen Hill: Mom. I'd like you to meet my friend Henry Hill.

Karen's Mother: How do you do? (Shakes Henry's hand)

Henry Hill: Hi. Nice to meet you.

Karen's Mother: My daughter says that you're half-Jewish.

Henry Hill: Um... It's just the good half.

(Karen's mother laughs)

"You wanna know what's funny. That's the same actress who played Carmela's mother on The Sopranos, and in this movie, she plays Karen's mother. And yet, her daughters are into guys in the Mafia." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) We're then followed by a great moment, and this is one of my favorite cinematic moments in movie history.

"And we all know what that moment is." Sean said.

(The famous scene is shown, showing Henry leading Karen through the back entrance of the Copacabana nightclub while the song "Then He Kissed Me" by The Crystals plays in the background)

Sean: (Narrating) We see Henry leading Karen through the back entrance of New York's Copacabana nightclub by skipping the line. They go through the back entrance and walks down the hall, they go through the kitchen and head into the dining room. Someone sends Henry and Karen a table and I love right when the waiter is seen carrying a table, someone complains and says "How come we can't get a table?".Their table gets set up and Henry and Karen sit at their table. That famous tracking shot is very impressive. Not only it's impressive, but it shows us and Karen what a big deal Henry has become, a most powerful man, but a kind one, as we see him tipping people and giving friendly nods while they make their way to the best seat in the house. This is Scorsese's way of showing us that the Mafia world was so attractive and glamorous.

"Christ, I love this movie so goddamn much!" Sean exclaimed.

Karen Hill: What do you do?

Henry Hill: What?

Karen Hill: What do you do?

Henry Hill: I'm in construction.

(Karen holds Henry's hand and feels it)

Karen Hill: They don't feel like you're in construction.

Henry Hill: I'm a Union delegate.

(A comedy drum roll is heard)

q"You know that drum roll? That's Scorsese making a joke about Henry working a normal career." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) We get a Henny Youngman performancebefore we cut to Henry and Tommy robbing the airport while the song "Look in My Eyes" by The Chantels starts playing.

"Did I mention that this movie is a tad bit romanticized?" Sean asked,

Sean: (Narrating) We see that the Mafia lifestyle is still being romanticized, but it's still mature. We see Henry and Tommy robbing the airport mixed in with the lighthearted music, shows how easy the robbery is. He just walks in and takes the money and leaves. That's an easy job. As we continue to hear the romanticized music, this time it's "Roses Are Red" by Bobby Vinton. We cut to Henry and Karen as we follow their relationship and Karen getting fully immersed into the lifestyle. Also, here's a real scumbag when I see one.

(Karen's neighbor, Bruce, sees Karen and approaches their table)

Bruce (Played by Mark Evans): Hi, Karen.

Karen Hill: Hi.

Bruce: How you doing?

Karen Hill: Ok, Bruce. How are you?

Bruce: I'm ok.

Karen Hill: Henry, this is Bruce. Bruce, this is Henry.

(Henry shakes Bruce's hand)

Bruce: Good to meet you.(To Karen) I'll see you around later.

(Bruce leaves and looks back at Karen and smiles at her)

Henry Hill: Do you know him?

Karen Hill: Yeah. He lives across the street.

"Yeah. A neighbor across the street. I'm sure he won't do anything to her that would piss this guy off." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) We then get more of Karen's narration as her relationship with Henry progresses. After that, we cut to a commercial featuring a wig salesman named Morris Kessler, played by Chuck Low, who's not happy about paying Jimmy and he bad-mouths him.

Morris Kessler (Played by Chuck Low): Jimmy's being an unconscionableball-breaker. Okay? (On the phone) Give him 8-5 on Cleveland. (To Henry) I never had to pay the vigorous debt he demands. Am I something special? What am I, a schmuck on wheels?

Henry Hill: Morrie, you know Jimmy. You borrowed his money. Pay him!

Morris Kessler: I didn't agree to 3 points above the vig. What am I, fuckin' nuts?

Henry Hill: What are you going to do? You going to fight with Jimmy Conway? He wants his money. Give him his money and let us just get the fuck outta here.

Morris Kessler: Hey, fuck him! Fuck him in the ear! What are you talking about? Fuck him in the other ear, that son of a bitch!

"Dude, shut up. You do realize he standing in the other room and he could hear you?" Sean asked.

(Jimmy approaches Morrie and strangles him with the phone cord, causing his wig to come off of his head. Henry sees this and laughs)

Jimmy Conway: You got money for that fuckin' commercial of yours! Fuckin' commercial- you don't got my money? You don't got my fuckin' money, huh?

Henry Hill: Jimmy, he's going to pay you.

Jimmy Conway: I'll fuckin' kill you! Get the money, you fuckin' cocksucker! You hear me? Pay me my money!

"See? That's what happens, man. This is what happens when you don't give a mobster their money." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) Karen calls Henry and he picks her up from a phone booth and she tells her that her neighbor Bruce began to touch her and hit her. So after he drops Karen off at her house, Henry returns the favor.

(Henry makes his way across the street to confront Bruce)

Bruce: What do you want, fucko? You want something, huh?

(Henry grabs Bruce by his hair and pistol-whips him in the face. Bruce grunts in pain)

Bruce's Brother #1 (Played by Russell Halley): Hey! What are you doing?

Bruce: (While getting hit in the face by Henry) OH! AAH! SHIT! OH! AAH! OHH! OH! AAH!

Henry Hill: I swear on my fuckin' mother, if you touch her again, you're dead!

(Henry hits Bruce once more and points his gun at his brother)

Bruce's Brother #2 (Played by Spencer Bradley): Don't shoot!

"Here's a little fact: Ray Liotta's mother passed away from cancer during filming. He said that he used his anger over losing his mother for certain scenes. And this scene is one of them." Sean said.

(Henry gives Karen the bloody gun)

Henry Hill: Here. Hide this. Are you all right? Are you all right? Huh?

Karen Hill: Yeah.

Karen Hill: (Narrating) I know there are women, like my best friends, who would have gotten out of there the minute their boyfriend gave them a gun to hide. But I didn't. I gotta admit the truth- it turned me on.

"Women, if you're aroused by your boyfriend giving you a gun to hide, that means you're right for them." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) Henry and Karen get married and we get another song "Life Is But a Dream" by The Harptones. We see that Henry and Karen falling in love with the Mafia lifestyle and it has it's perks. Damn, I wish my family was like that. I have a big family. Yet, me and my girlfriend aren't married yet. Anyway after Henry and Karen get married, Karen's mother complains about Henry not being home and not calling.

Karen's Mother: What kind of people are these?

Karen Hill: Ma, what do you want me to do?

Karen's Mother: Do? What can you do? He's not Jewish. Did you know how these people lived? Did you know what they were like? Your father never stayed out all night without calling!

Karen Hill: Stay out? Daddy never went out at all, Ma! Keep out of it! You don't know how I feel!

Karen's Mother: Feel? How do you feel now? You don't know where he is. You don't know who he's with-

Karen Hill: He's with his friends! Dad!

(Karen storms out of the living room)

Karen's Mother: Will you leave him out of this? He's suffered enough! The man hasn't been able to digest a decent meal in 6 weeks!

"Well, that's because I can't stand your damn cooking, Lucille!" Sean exclaimed, imitating Karen's father.

Sean: (Narrating) Henry returns home only to get yelled at by his mother-in-law like he's a teenaget. Also, I just love the way Lorraine Bracco shouts out "MOM!" after Henry walks away, That part gave me a little chuckle.

Karen's Mother: Where were you? Why didn't you call? Where have you been?

Karen Hill: Mom!

Karen's Mother: We were worried to death! A married man does not stay out like this!

(Henry walks away)

Karen Hill: (Shouts) MOM!

Karen's Mother: Normal people don't act like this!

(Henry starts laughing)

"Oh, yeah. That's a mother-in-law right there." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) We get more of Karen's narration as we see her hanging out with some of the other Mafia wives, including Scorsese regular Illeana Douglas.

Rosie (Played by Illeana Douglas): Karen, where are you from?

Karen Hill: Lawrence.

Rosie: Lawrence. Out on the Island. That's nice. I'm from Miami. You ever been there?

Karen Hill: No.

Rosie: It's ok, but it's like you died and woke up in Jew Heaven.

"Uhhh... good to know?" Sean asked. "Yeah, that deserves a Paul Sorvino confused look right there."

(We cut back to Paul's confused look)

Sean: (Narrating) We get an entertaining scene involving Mafia wives. This scene is more entertaining than the show Mob Wives (A poster for Mob Wives is shown). Anyway, Karen gets second thoughts about being a Mafia wife and becomes worried about Henry.

Karen Hill: God forbid, what would happen if you went to prison?

Henry Hill: Karen!

Karen Hill: Mickey said that Jeannie's husband-

Henry Hill: You know why Jeannie's husband went to the can? Because of Jeannie! Because he wanted to get away from her. That's why. Let me tell you something. Nobody goes to jail unless they want to. Unless they make themselves get caught. They don't have things organized. I know what I'm doin'. I've got things organized with these guys. You know who goes to jail? (The N-word gets bleeped out) stick-up men, that's who. You know why they get caught? Because they fall asleep in the getaway car, Karen.

"Okay, I love Ray Liotta and all but watch your mouth. No need to say the N-word. This ain't Blazing Saddles! Also, I don't think it's true about us black guys falling asleep in the getaway car. Like we would fall asleep in the getaway car." Sean said.

(We then cut to Henry and Karen making out on the bed)

Karen Hill: (Narrating) After a while, it got to be all normal. None of it seemed like crime. It was more like Henry was enterprising and that he and the guys were making a few bucks hustling while the other guys were sitting on their asses waiting for handouts.

"Yeah, I think we would do without you narrating over your love scene, lady. Can we get some appropriate music to play over this scene?" Sean asked.

(The song "Kiss" by Prince starts playing during Henry and Karen's love scene)

"Very funny, movie. Very funny." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) Henry and Tommy steal a truck from a truck driver and we cut to the detectives arriving at Henry's house to do a search warrant, but it's not a problem as the police are willing to look the other way. We then get a montage of photos, bringing the audience into their lives and showing how close the Mafia family really is. Then, we jump to June 11, 1970 as we see a made man in the Gambino Crime Family by the name of Billy Batts, played by the late Frank Vincent, has been released from prison and they're throwing welcome home party in Henry's nightclub, and when Tommy shows up, he starts busting Tommy's balls.

Billy Batts (Played by Frank Vincent): Hey, Tommy. All dressed up. All grown up and doing the town. Look at this.

Tommy DeVito: Oh, shit.

Billy Batts: Tommy!

Tommy DeVito: I forgot this mouth was having a party.

Billy Batts: Oh! Oh! Come here!

"Oh, yeah. That dude knows Tommy when he was young." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) And you know your movie is highly quotable with lines like this.

Tommy DeVito: No more shines, Billy.

Billy Batts: What?

Tommy DeVito: I said no more shines. Maybe you didn't hear about it. You've been away a long time. I didn't go up there to tell ya. I don't shine shoes anymore.

Billy Batts: Relax, will you? For cryin' out... what's got into you? I'm breakin' your balls a little. That's all. I'm only kidding with you.

Tommy DeVito: Sometimes you don't sound like you're kidding. You know, there's a lotta people around.

Billy Batts: Tommy, I'm onlykidding with you. I just came home. I haven't seen you in a long time and I'm breakin' your balls and right away you're gettingfuckin' fresh. I'm sorry. I don't mean to offend you.

Tommy DeVito: I'm sorry too. It's okay. No problem.

Billy Batts: Ok, salud. (Takes a drink) Now go home and get your fuckin' shine box.

Tommy DeVito: (Yells and breaks glass) MOTHERFUCKING MUTT! YOU, YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!

Billy Batts: (Taunting) Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on, come on, come on!

"See? This is what happens when the Shah of Iran takes breaking balls a bit too far." Sean said.

Billy Batts: Now go home and get your fuckin' shine box.

Tommy DeVito: MOTHERFUCKING MUTT! YOU, YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!

(A clip from The Simpsons plays)

Homer Simpson: (Voiced by Dan Castellaneta): Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!

Sean: (Narrating) Henry gets Tommy out of the nightclub so he can cool off and try to diffuse the situation by having a couple of drinks. After the party winds down and everybody leaves. Jimmy and Billy are having a drink as Henry sees Tommy returning to the nightclub. Henry tries to stop him, but then Jimmy and Tommy brutally beats Billy down to a pulp while Henry watches. You can see that he's not laughing about it, he is scared. He may be in love with the fantasy lifestyle, but he isn't in love with all aspects of it anymore.

Tommy DeVito: I didn't want to get blood on your floor.

(Henry looks at Tommy)

"And because of that line delivery, Joe Pesci went home with an Academy Award for his performance." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) As you can see, this confrontation is partially true. That confrontation actually did take place, but it took place in Jimmy's bar called the Robert's Lounge a few weeks before. They were throwing a "welcome home" party for Billy Batts who just got out of prison. Battts jokingly asked Tommy DeSimone if he still shined shoes, which Tommy took as an insult. Here's the thing: When Batts was in prison, Burke had taken over his loan sharking rackets and now Batts was released, he wants it back. Two weeks later, Burke and DeSimone came up with a plan to take out Batts by getting him drunk in Henry's club called The Suite and they made their move. This one was different because Billy was a made man in the Gambino crime family. And when somebody's a made man, no one can harm you without permission from your family's boss, otherwise, they would get killed themselves.

"And William "Billy Batts" Bentvena had some pretty powerful friends, and one of those friends happen to be John Gotti.' Sean said as a picture of John Gotti is shown. "That's right. The guy who would become the future boss of the Gambino crime family."

Sean: (Narrating) Anyway, they dump Batts' body in the trunk of Henry's car and they drive down to Tommy's mother's house to pick up a shovel, but Tommy's mother, played by Catherine Scorsese, wakes up and sees the three of them in her house. And when you think that Joe Pesci is the best damn part of the movie, Marty Scorsese's mother is also the best damn part of the movie. And you can tell that this is an Italian mother right there, she offers to cook for those three.

Tommy's Mother (Played by Catherine Scorsese): Tell me, tell me, where have you been? I haven't seen you. You haven't even called or anything. Where have you been?

Tommy DeVito: Mom, I've been working nights.

Tommy's Mother: And?

Tommy DeVito: And tonight we were out late. We took a ride out to the country and we hit one of those deers. That's where all the blood came from. Jimmy told you before. (Picks up the knife) Anyway, you know that reminds me, Ma, I need this knife. I'm going to take this. Is this okay?

Tommy's Mother: Okay. Yeah, sure.

Tommy DeVito: Just for a while.

Tommy's Mother: Just bring it back to me.

"Just don't go killing anybody with it now." Sean said, imitating Tommy's mother.

Sean: (Narrating) I just love how they're eating and talking. Plus, don't you just love how DeNiro is handling that ketchup bottle? I don't know if this is how JImmy Burke pours ketchup on his food, but I have never seen anyone spin ketchup on their food. Also, who puts ketchup on pasta? I know that Jimmy is Irish, not Italian, but it's a sin to be doing that. Just don't be expecting a visit from Lionfield, DeNiro (A picture of Emiliano and Matteo from Lionfield is shown).

(Henry stays silent while eating)

Tommy's Mother: How's your friend Henry? Henry, what's the matter? You don't talk too much.

Jimmy Burke: Just talk a little bit. What are you quiet for?

Tommy's Mother: You don't eat much, you don't talk much.

Henry Hill: (Chuckling) I'm just listening.

Tommy DeVito: What's the matter? Something wrong with you?

Tommy's Mother: You remind me when we were kids, the compares used to visit one another. And there was this man. He would never talk. He would just sit there all night, not say a word. So they says to him, "What's the matter, compare? Don't you talk? Don't you say anything?" He says, "What am I going to say, that my wife two-times me?" So she says to him, "Shut up! You're always talking,"

(Jimmy, Henry and Tommy start laughing)

"I just love how Tommy just stares at Henry while his mother is busy telling the story." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) That stare means, "You better look natural or YOU will be the next one in the trunk.". Tommy's mother pulls out a painting of two dogs and a man on a boat: one dog is looking one way while the other dog is looking the other way. And the bearded guy looks like Billy Batts with a beard and I was laughing at the guy because he looked funny. Actually, this painting should speak for itself. One dog looking one way represents Henry, the second dog is facing the other which represents his Mafia life and the bearded guy who's steering the boat is Billy Batts. Henry wants to go one way, but because of Billy Batts, he has to follow his Mafia career.

Jimmy Conway: Looks like somebody we know. (Laughs)

Tommy DeVito: I mean, without the beard. No. It's him. (Laughs)

"He looks like the bearded version of the Shah of Iran." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) We come back to our opening scene as we see Henry, Jimmy and Tommy driving up to Upstate New York to bury Billy Batts body, but it turns out that Batts is still alive and while Tommy and Jimmy finish him off, we get some more of Henry narrating.

Henry Hill: (Narrating) For most of the guys, killings were accepted. Murder was the only way everybody stayed in line. You got out of line, you got whacked. Everybody knew the rules. But sometimes, even if people didn't get out of line, they got whacked. I mean, hits just became a habit with some of the guys. Guys would get into arguments over nothing. And before you knew it, one of them was dead. When they were shooting each other all the time. Shooting people was a normal thing. It was no big deal.

"Now, the death of Billy Batts was much different in real life" Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) Instead of Tommy stabbing Batts to death and Jimmy shooting him multiple times. In actuality, Tommy and Jimmy beat Billy Batts to death with a shovel and a tire iron. After they murdered Batts, Burke had a friend who owned a dog kennel in Upstate New York and they buried his body there. Anyway, Henry explains to us that Tommy killed a made guy, and before you whack a made guy, you had to have a good reason to do so. You had to have a sit0down and you'd better get an okay or you'll be the one who gets whacked. Anyway, we see that Henry is hanging out at the Copa with his mistress Janice Rossi, played by the late Gina Mastrogiacomo, alongside Tommy and his girlfriend and Frankie and his girlfriend and we get a love song that plays throughout the scene, "Pretend You Don't See Her" by Jerry Vale.

"And I'm gonna mention this. The music in the movie tells the story and it's perfect." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) I love how certain songs were used in certain scenes and I love Scorsese's taste in music, that's what makes this movie so perfect. But more about the music later as Paulie asks Henry about Billy Batts. And Henry plays it off by telling Paulie that he disappeared. Later, Jimmy tells Henry that the burial site is slated for development, so they got to dig up Billy Batts' body and relocate it to somewhere else. Then, where treated to some more of Michael Ballhaus' amazing cinematography where we see the group digging up Billy Batts' body. Like I said, the cinematography is excellent. You get some silhouettes of black over red. Red symbolized them crossing the line, it was the end of an era of good times, it's all gonna go downhill from there because death is coming.

Tommy DeVito: Hey Henry, Henry, hurry up. My mother's gonna make some fried peppers and sausage for us.

(Jimmy and Tommy laugh at Henry while he's getting disgusted by the smell of Billy Batts' decomposing body)

Jimmy Conway: Hey Henry. Henry, here's an arm.

Henry Hill: Very funny, guys.

Jimmy Conway: Here's a leg.

Tommy DeVito: Here's a wing. (Laughs) What do you like, the leg or the wing, Henry? Or you still go for the 'ol hearts and lungs?

Henry Hill: (Coughs) Oh, that's so bad.

"As for what happened to Batts' body in real life, Burke's friend sold the dog kennel to housing developers, so he had Henry and Tommy dig up the body and dispose it somewhere else. In the book Wiseguy, Hill stated that the body was crushed in a mechanical compactor at a New Jersey junkyard that was owned by Clyde Brooks. But when you listen to the audio commentary for the movie, he additionally states that Batts' body was first buried in the basement of Robert's Lounge and was at a later time crushed in the compactor." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) Anyway, we get more of Henry spending some time with his mistress Janice after he bought her an apartment around the corner from his club that way he'll be able to stay over a couple of nights. Janice shows some of her gal pals around the apartment. And the perks of being a guy in the Mafia, you get to fool around with any woman, including one of her friends, who's played by future L.A. Law cast member Debi Mazar.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure the way Henry was looking at her, he wants to bang both her and Janice." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) We then cut to Henry playing cards with his buddies while a young bartender by the name of Spider, played by a surprisinglyyoung Michael Imperioli, is busy serving them drinks, but he ends up forgetting about Tommy.

Tommy DeVito: Where's my fucking drink? I asked you for a drink.

Spider (Played by Michael Imperioli): You asked for a drink?

Tommy DeVito: I just asked you for a fucking drink.

Spider: No, I thought... I thought you said that, "You're all right, Spider."

Tommy DeVito: No, no, no, no, no. No, no, no. Am I on a fucking pay-no-mind list, kid?

Spider: No, I heard... I thought I heard someone say something "Spider, Spider." I thought it was Henry.

Tommy DeVito: "Spider, Spider." You're a fucking mumbling, stuttering little fuck. You know that?

Spider: I thought you said, "I was all right, Spider."

Tommy DeVito: No, you ain't all right, Spider. You got a lot of fuckin' problems.

Spider: No, I thought you said you were all right, Spider.

Tommy DeVito: I am all right! You ain't all right, you little fucking prick.

"Suddenly, this little exchange turns into a comedy. This is supposed to be a serious crime drama, right?" Sean asked.

Tommy DeVito: Go get me a fucking drink! Move it, you little prick. (As Spider walks away) You walk like fucking Stepin Fetchit. For everybody else you'll fuckin' run. Run for me, you prick! Dance, dance the fucking drink back here! The little prick. Hey, what's that movie that Bogart made?

Anthony Stabile: Which one?

Tommy DeVito: The one where he played a cowboy. He only did one.

Anthony Stabile: The Oklahoma Kid.

Jimmy Conway: Shane?

Tommy DeVito: Oklahoma Kid... Shane? Oklahoma Kid, that's me! I'm the Oklahoma Kid! You fuckin' varmint! Dance! Dance! Yahoo, you motherfucker! (Waves his gun around) Round up those fuckin' wagons! Come on, you mother...!

(Tommy fires his gun and shoots Spider in the foot)

Tommy DeVito: Now he's moving.

"He never had the makings of a varsity athlete." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) We then see that things aren't going so well at Casa de Hill, as Karen gets upset with Henry about him going out every night and wants him to stay home with her and the kids and she suspects that there's something going on with him. Well, maybe it's the fact that he's boinking another woman behind her back. Either that or she's becoming a crazy wife.

Henry Hill: Stop with that already.

Karen Hill: No!

Henry Hill: Enough! Stop with that.

Karen Hill: No! I'm telling you, I looking in your face and I know that you're lying!

(Henry throws the lamp across the room after Karen ducks)

Karen Hill: (Screams) GET OUT!

Henry Hill: Shut up.

Karen Hill: GET OUT! GET OUT OF MY LIFE!

Henry Hill: You're fucked up in the head, Karen. This is all in your mind.

Karen Hill: You're a lousy bastard!

Henry Hill: You got a problem.

Karen Hill: Go ahead, go to your ready-made whores. That's all you're good for!

"Jesus, Karen. Shut up! You're actin' like a real Karen!" Sean exclaimed.

Sean: (Narrating) Henry is having some fun playing cards with his buddies and we see that Spider is sporting a cast on his foot. And after Tommy pokes fun at him some more, Spider responds with these three little words.

Spider: Why don't you go fuck yourself, Tommy.

(Henry, Jimmy, Tommy and the others look at Spider in silence and with pure surprise)

(A clip from iCarly is shown)

Carly Shay (Played by Miranda Cosgrove): Oh, no.

Freddie Benson (Played by Nathan Kress): Poor guy.

Jimmy Conway: I got respect for this kid. He's got a lot of fucking balls. Good for you. Don't take no shit off nobody. He shoots him in the foot, he tells him to go fuck himself.

(Jimmy and Henry laughs while Tommy just sits silently)

Jimmy Conway: Are you gonna let him get away with that? Are you gonna let this fucking punk get away with that? What's the matter? What's the world coming to?

(Tommy pulls out a gun and shoots Spider, killing him)

"A moment of silence to the guy that stood up to Tommy." Sean said as he hangs his head briefly while somber music plays in the background.

(A shot of Spider with the text "R.I.P. Spider the Stuttering Prick" appears next to him)

Sean: (Narrating) Karen goes over to Janice's apartment and harass her and hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Plus, I love Lorraine Bracco in this scene. I would love to believe that this was Dr. Melfi in her early years and she was like that before becoming a respective psychiatrist.

(We cut to Karen harassing Janice and the text "Dr. Melfi Then" is shown)

Karen Hill: ANSWER ME! I'm gonna tell everyone who walks in this building that in 2-R, Rossi you are nothing but a whore! (On the phone) Is this the superintendent? Yes, I want you to know, sir, that you have a whore living in 2-R. Rossi! Janice Rossi! Do you hear me? He's my husband. GET YOUR OWN GODDAMN MAN!

(Cut to a clip from The Sopranos featuring Dr. Melfi and the text "Dr. Melfi Now" is shown)

Dr. Jennifer Melfi (Played by Lorraine Bracco): I have patients who are suicidal.

Tony Soprano (Played by James Gandolfini): Well they're not gonna feel any better about their life if you get clipped!

Dr. Jennifer Melfi: JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!

(The next scene cuts to Karen, who is seen pointing a gun at a sleeping Henry)

Karen Hill: (Whispering) Wake up, Henry.

(Henry wakes up and sees Karen pointing the gun at him)

"Yikes. Yeah, things are never good when your wife points a gun at you while you're sleeping. Believe me. That happened to one of my favorite comedians and he's dead. You all know who I'm talking about!" Sean exclaimed.

Sean: (Narrating) Henry calmly talks Karen out of killing him by telling her that he loves her and for her to put the gun down. Which she does. Well, looks like he's taking it pretty well.

(Henry slaps Karen in the face and grabs her by her throat)

Henry Hill: what are you, fuckin' crazy, Karen? (Points the gun at Karen) Are you crazy, huh? I got enough to worry about getting fuckin' whacked on the street. I gotta fuckin' come home- - I GOTTA FUCKIN' COME HOME… FOR THIS?! I SHOULD FUCKIN' KILL YOU!

"Yeah, he doesn't take to kindly to guns being aimed at him. She should know this by now!" Sean exclaimed.

Sean: (Narrating) Jimmy and Paulie visit Henry at Janice's apartment to talk to him about Karen and that he should go back to her.

Paul Cicero: This is no good. You gotta straighten this thing out.

Jimmy Conway: We've got to have calm now. You understand? We don't know what the hell she's gonna do. She's getting all hysterical. She gets very excited.

Paul Cicero: She's wild. And you, you gotta take it easy. You got children. I'm not saying you gotta go back there this minute, but you gotta go back. I mean, it's the only way. Gotta keep up appearances.

Jimmy Conway: I got the two of them come over the house every day, commiserating. The two of 'em. I can't have it. I can't have it. You know, I can't do it, Henry. It's- - I can't do it.

Paul Cicero: Nobody says that you can't do what you want to do.

Jimmy Conway: Do what you wanna do. We all know that. I mean, this is what it is. Okay? You know what it is. You have to do the right thing. You have to go home to the family, you understand? You gotta go home. Ok? Look at me. You gotta go home. Smarten up.

"Wow, that's the most calmest conversation I have ever seen in my life. I know if it was Tony Soprano talking to Christopher like that, he would just yell at him and slap him around. But with Jimmy and Paulie, it's all calm." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) Two days later, Jimmy and Henry are in Tampa Bay, Florida collecting a debt from a gambler. So, they rough him up a bit and have him dangling over a lion's den. But it turns out that the guy has a sister working as a typist for the FBI, leading to Henry and Jimmy getting arrested and sent to prison to serve their ten-year sentence. After Henry gets sent to prison, we get…

(We cut to Paulie slicing some garlic with a razor blade while "Beyond the Sea" by Bobby Darin plays)

"One of the best damn cooking scenes in cinema history." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) I'm not kidding. When I say that this movie has the best damn cooking scenes in cinematic history, it does. This scene shows us how people in the Mafia live life in prison. I mean, these guys eat better in prison. There is something about cooking a nice, hearty meal and having people around enjoying it. It humanizes the characters and makes us feel like home. Plus, who would love to make that prison sauce that Charles Scorsese was making? Plus, I wanna try cutting raw garlic with a razor to make it thinly-sliced. Also, they get to eat steak and lobster! Damn! Lucky bastards! But enough talking about food that's making us hungry, we see that Henry is selling drugs in prison and he gets a visit from Karen and his children, until she sees Janice's name on the register. Also, I just love how she sees Janice's name right next to Henry's name and she looks up at the camera like, "I gonna kill that cheatin' bastard!".

Karen Hill: I saw her name in the register.

Henry Hill: Jesus Christ.

Karen Hill: You want her to visit you? Let her stay up all night crying and writing letters to the parole board.

Henry Hill: What am I doing here? Where am I? I'm in jail. I can't stop people from coming to see me.

Karen Hill: Good. Let her sneak that stuff in for you every week. (Pulls the loaves of bread, a meat stick and a bottle of wine out of her coat and makes a scene) Let her fight with those bastards every week!

Henry Hill: (As his daughter cries) Look what you're doing! Stop it!

"You're makin' a scene, Karen! Stop makin' a scene! You're gonna victimize our children." Sean said, imitating Henry.

Karen Hill: (Pulls out a bag of drugs and throws it at Henry) Let her sneak this shit in for you.

Henry Hill: Stop it! Will you stop it, Karen?

(The guard sees Karen making a scene)

Sean: (V/O as Guard) Oh, boy. We got a raging Karen. Maybe I should call it...

Henry Hill: Stop it!

(The guard looks away)

Sean: (V/O as Guard) Nevermind.

Sean: (Narrating) Karen complains that she's all alone and no one is helping her, especially Paulie. But Henry assures her that everything will be fine and he wants her to keep bringing her the drugs for him to sell since he's got a guy in from Pittsburgh who's gonna help him move the drugs.

Karen Hill: I'm afraid. I'm afraid if Paulie finds out.

Henry Hill: What'd I just say? Don't worry about him. He's not helping us out. Is he putting any food on the table?

"Well, unless he's got some more of that delicious prison sauce, then yeah." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) We then transition to four years later, as we see that Henry is released from prison and he is greeted by Karen and his daughters. So when he finds out that he's living in a normal house, the first thing he says to Karen when he sees it is this.

Henry Hill: Karen, get packed. We're moving out of here.

"Uh, what's wrong with the house you're living in now? Is it not normal enough for you?" Sean asked.

Sean: (Narrating) Henry and his family head down to Paulie's and we get another food eating scene. Man, everybody eats when they come to Paulie's place. Afterwards, Paulie talks to Henry and tells him to stop selling drugs, because that thing is frowned upon in the Mafia world.

Henry Hill: Paulie, why would I get into that?

Paul Cicero: Don't make a jerk out of me. Just don't do it. Just don't do it.

"They should make Paul Sorvino do a drug PSA. Hell, he would say this on the PSA." Sean said as a picture of Paul Sorvino as Paul Cicero is shown next to him with the text that reads, "Drugs... Just don't do it. Just don't do it."

"Rest in peace, Paul Sorvino." Brian said, raising his glass of sweet tea.

Paul Cicero: You know that you're only out early 'cause I got you a job. I don't need this heat, understand that?

Henry Hill: Uh-huh,

Paul Cicero: You see anybody fuckin' around with this shit, you're gonna tell me, right?

Henry Hill: Yeah.

(Paul slaps Henry in the face)

Paul Cicero: That means anybody.

Henry Hill: All right,

Paul Cicero: Yeah?

Henry Hill: Yeah, of course.

(We cut to a title card that reads "A Few Moments Later...")

Narrator: A few moments later...

(We cut to Henry at Sandy's apartment mixing the drugs)

"Oy. What did he say? What did Paulie just fucking say?!" Sean asked.

Sean: (Narrating) Henry expands his cocaine business with Jimmy and Tommy behind Paulie's back. And because of his successful cocaine business, Henry gets a snazzy, new house. But that's not important, but what's important is a significant event that happened in 1978, and that happens to be the Lufthansa heist and Jimmy has put together a crew for the biggest heist of the century. That crew includes Tommy, Frankie Carbone, Frenchy, Joe Buddha played by Clem Caserta, Johnny Roastbeef played by Johnny Williams. Hell, they even got Stacks Edwards, played by Samuel L. Jackson, to be a part of the heist. Plus, Morrie the wig man set this whole thing up. If you want to learn more about the Lufthansa heist, read up about it and check out History Buff's video on Goodfellas to learn more about it. Just to make it short: the heist was a success and let's just say that a shitload of money was stolen, About six million dollars in cash and jewelry. But with a successful heist, you have people doing stupid stuff. Take for example: Johnny Roastbeef buying a new car for his wife and Jimmy's not happy about it.

Jimmy Conway: Listen to me. What did I tell you before? I talked to you before, didn't I?

Johnny Roastbeef (Played by Johnny Williams): Yeah.

Jimmy Conway: Didn't I say what was going on? Didn't I say not to go buy anything for a while? Now the fuckin' car-

Johnny Roastbeef: It's a wedding gift, Jimmy. It's from my mother. It's under her name. I just got married.

"Yeah, people buying expensive as hell things that would probably get them arrested. Dumbasses." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) Also, it ain't a Scorsese movie unless Robert DeNiro goes "Full DeNiro" on someone's ass.

Johnny Roastbeef: It's... it's under my mother's name.

Jimmy Conway: What'd you say? Are you being a fuckin' wiseguy with me?

Johnny Roastbeef: I'm sorry, Jimmy.

Jimmy Conway: What did I tell you? What did I tell you? What did I tell you? You don't buy anything. You hear me? Don't buy anything!

Johnny Roastbeef: I'm sorry, Jimmy.

"It was an honor to be DeNiro'dbyyou, sir." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) So yeah, you have some of the dumbest people who took part in this heist trying to attract attention by buying expensive things. Aside from that, Morrie's bugging Jimmy about his money. But anyway, Jimmy gives Henry a cut of the money and what does he do with it, he buys the most expensive tree. Well, he did say to do what's right with the money and he wants his family to have a nice Christmas. Am I right? Anyway, Stacks gets a wakeup call when Tommy and Frankie drop by at his apartment.

Tommy DeVito: I thought you had one of your bitches in here.

Stacks Edwards (Played by Samuel L. Jackson): Yeah, I did. Where the fuck is she?

Tommy DeVito: (Chuckles) Always got these hot books around or a chick or something.

Stacks Edwards: What time is it?

Tommy DeVito: It's 11:30. We were supposed to be here. You know, we're supposed to be there by 9:00.

Stacks Edwards: Be ready in a minute.

Tommy DeVito: Yeah, you're always fucking late. You'll be late for your own fucking funeral.

(Tommy shoots Stack in the back of the head with a silenced pistol and finishes him off with three more shots)

"Oh, come on. If you're gonna kill Samuel L. Jackson in a movie, at least let him say "motherfucker" before he dies." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) And when I say the dumbest crew ever, I mean that literally because Stacks did not get rid of the truck. Instead, he got stoned and went to his girlfriend's. The cops found the truck and it was all over the news. Whacked him. Anyway, Jimmy shares some good news with Henry regarding Tommy. Turns out that Tommy is going to become a made man. But then, Morrie's annoying ass tries to ruin the occasionby bugging Jimmy about his money.

Morrie Kessler: Fuck him! I want my money. Henry, I want my fucking money! I had it up to here! That cheap cigarette-hijackin' mick!

Henry Hill: Morrie! Shh!

Morrie Kessler: No, fuck him! I want my money.

"Oh, God. Can somebody please do something to Morrie before he offends us Irish people?!" Sean asked.

"Would someone shut him the fuck up?" Brian asked.

Sean: (Narrating) Jimmy worries that Morrie tells his wife everything, so he figures that he's gotta get whacked. So, they invite him to a card game and afterwards, Tommy gives Morrie an ice pick to the back of the head just to shut him up. Afterwards, we get a lovely montage of the people who were involved in the Lufthansa heist getting whacked fortheir stupidity and their bodies being discovered all while "Layla" by Derek and the Dominoes plays and I absolutely love this scene as we see people like Johnny Roastbeef, Johnny Roastbeef'swife, Frenchy, Joe Buddha and even Frankie Carbone, who was found in the back of a meat truck and he was frozen stiff. But hey, things are going good for Jimmy because Tommy is becoming a made man.

Henry Hill: (Narrating) You know, we always called each other goodfellas. Like you'd say to somebody, "You're gonna like this guy. He's all right. He's a good fella. He's one of us." You understand? We were goodfellas, wiseguys.

"Boom! Title drop!" Sean yelled out.

Sean: (Narrating) Henry explains in the narration why him and Jimmy could never be made because they had Irish blood and to become a member of a crew, you've got to be 100% Italian so they can trace all your relatives back to the old country. I learned that when I watched this movie for the first time when I was 14 and they were showing it on HBO.

"You see? You can learn some interesting factoids from HBO... aside from Real Sex and G-String Divas or softcoreporn movies on HBO Zone and Cinemax." Sean said.

(Tommy enters the house with Tuddy and Vinnie for the ceremony and he sees an empty room)

Tommy DeVito: Oh, no.

(Tommy is shot in the back of the head by Tuddy)

"A moment of silence for the best damn Joe Pesci performance until Casino." Sean said as he bows his head down.

(A picture of Tommy DeVito appears next to Sean as the text "R.I.P. Tommy" is shown while somber music plays in the background)

Sean: (Narrating) Jimmy and Henry learn that Tommy has been whacked. Why did he get whacked? Well, apparently they found out about what happened to Billy Batts and this was their revenge because Tommy killed a made man. Now, what makes this different is that Tommy DeSimone went missing in 1979 and he was believed to be murdered. Nobody knows what happened to DeSimone but there are theories about what happened to him. One was where he was going to become a made man and he was taken to an unknown location until he was whacked. And two: Paul Vario whacked him because DeSimone attempted to rape Henry's wife. There are also alleged murderers that claimed to have killed DeSimone.

"In the film, they just straight up shot Tommy in the back of the head." Sean said. "So, let's just say that Tommy DeSimone got whacked. I know that's what happened to him."

Sean: (Narrating) After witnessing the death of an awesome character, we transition to 1980, where we see Henry developing a cocaine habit. Also, we see that he's going to have a long day ahead. Also, he becomes a nervous wreck when he sees a helicopter in the sky and he suspects that it's the Feds that are following him. Either that or he needs to stop doing cocaine. He almost gets into a car accident trying to see if the helicopter was following him around. Anyway, we see all the things that happened before Henry's arrest: such as picking up his brother Michael, played by Eddie Finnerty himself Kevin Corrigan.

Henry Hill: (Sees the helicopter) There it is. You see that, Michael? See that helicopter? See right there?

Michael Hill (Played by Kevin Corrigan): Where?

Henry Hill: In front of us there. I think it's been following me all morning.

Michael Hill: Get the fuck outta- what are you, nuts?

Henry Hill: I'm telling you. I don't know what's going on.

"You don't know what's going on? Apparently, the Feds are following you! Jesus. Cocaine's a hell of a drug." Sean said.

(We then cut to Henry cooking dinner with his family and Lois the nanny)

Henry Hill: (Narrating) I was making ziti with the meat gravy, and I'm planning to roast some peppers over the flames, and I was gonna put on some string beans with some olive oil and garlic. And I had some beautiful cutlets that were cut just right that I was gonna fry up before dinner just as an appetizer.

"God, stop it! You're making me hungry! God, I miss Ray Liotta." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) Henry and Karen head out to deliver the guns, but when they see the helicopter, they stop at Karen's mother's house and he drops the guns in a trash can. They do a bit of shopping and once the helicopter's gone, it's back to business as he gives the guns to his Pittsburgh contact. He calls up Lois the nanny and tells her to call from an outside line, but instead she calls from the house. Stupid! Henry heads over to Sandy's apartment to mix the stuff and we see him take a hit. Afterwards, he has dinner with his family and he gets ready to drop Lois off to the airport, but there's one little problem...

Lois Byrd (Played by Welker White): I gotta go home.

Henry Hill: What do you mean, you gotta go home? I've been carrying around this stuff all day. We gotta start taping it to your leg. We gotta go somewhere.

Lois Byrd: I gotta go home and get my hat.

Henry Hill: Forget your fucking hat! What, are you kidding me? Just what I need now is a trip to Rockaway just because you want to get your hat?

Lois Byrd: I need it. I gotta have it. It's my lucky hat.

"You know, The Godfather Part III has that one stupid asshole who's trying to grab his lucky hat while a bunch of the old Dons are getting whacked, and now this bitch wants to go home and get her lucky hat because she won't fly without it. Oy." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) Henry gets ready to take Lois home, but he ends up getting arrested by the cops, one of them played by Bo Dietl, who in fact was a detective for the NYPD from 1970 to 1985. The cops tried to make their way inside the house, but Karen does the most stupid thing ever, she flushes the drugs down the toilet.

(A clip from Star Trek: The Next Generation is shown as we see Captain Picard making a facepalm)

Sean: (Narrating) So yeah, it happens to be the cops instead of Feds. Narcotics officers and they find all the stuff to make cocaine, which sends Henry to jail. Once Henry was released from jail, Henry didn't feel safe, fearing that Paulie might whack him for what he's done. So he heads home to look for the drugs, only to find that the dope was gone all because Karen flushed it down the toilet.

Karen Hill: What was I supposed to do? They were all over the house.

Henry Hill: Karen, that was worth $60,000! I need that money! That's all we got.

Karen Hill: What was I supposed to do? They had a search warrant. They were in everything.

Henry Hill: Karen! That's all the money that we had, Karen! I was depending on that. Why did you do that?

Karen Hill: I had to! They were gonna find it.

"Nice job, Karen. Thanks to your stupidity, Henry's a dead man. Dumb bitch." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) All joking aside, I absolutely love Ray Liotta and Lorraine Bracco in the scene, you could see that Henry is fearing for his life from the Mafia, realizing that his life is going to be over and that he's going to be the one that gets whacked for what he's done. Which means, him and his family are not safe. So, Henry goes to talk to Paulie to make things right, but Paulie feels betrayed by Henry's drug dealing because he told him not to do it.

Paul Cicero: You looked in my eyes, and you lied to me. You treated me like a fuckin' jerk, like I was never nothing to you.

Henry Hill: Paulie, after what you said, I couldn't come to you. You know, I was- I was ashamed. I- I'm ashamed now. But I got nowhere else to go, Paulie. You're all I've got and I really, really need your help. I really do.

"Goddamn it. Why do I gotta be such a sympathetic mobster?" Sean asked, imitating Paulie.

Sean: (Narrating) Paulie gives Henry some money and he ends their association. Later, Karen goes to ask Jimmy for help, but when she suspects that he's set a trap to murder her, she hightails it out of there. Now, that's the smartest thing she's done in the movie! Henry meets with Jimmy to talk with him and he has a little job for him, which is a hit assignment, and he never asks Henry to do such a job like this. That's when he realizes that Jimmy also has plans to have him killed because thinks that Henry's gonna rat him out. Fearing for his life, Henry becomes an informant and enrolls himself and his family into the witness protection program. We see Jimmy and Paulie getting arrested, leading to Henry in court testifying against Jimmy and Paulie and we see him becoming what he never wanted to become... a snitch.

Henry Hill: (Talks to the viewer) It didn't matter. It didn't mean anything. When I was broke, I would go out and rob some more. We ran everything. We paid off cops. We paid off lawyers. We paid off judges. Everybody had their hands out. Everything was for the taking. And now it's all over.

"That's not the only time that a main character in a Scorsese movie is going to break the fourth wall." Sean said, referring to The Wolf of Wall Street.

Sean: (Narrating) We see that the protection program moves Henry to a suburban neighborhood and we see that Henry has left his exciting and turbulent gangster life for a boring, normal life.

Henry Hill: (Narrating) I'm an average nobody. I get to live the rest of my life like a schnook.

(We then see Tommy shooting at the camera six times while "My Way" by Sid Vicious plays)

"And suddenly, Joe Pesci kills most of the people in the movie theater." Sean said.

Sean: (Narrating) We also learn that in 1987, Henry was still in the witness protection program, but was arrested for narcotics conspiracy and sentenced to five years probation and has been clean ever since. Henry and Karen separated in 1989, Paulie died in prison at the age of 73, and Jimmy remains in prison, ineligible for parole until 2004. Yeah, Jimmy Burke died in 1996. Had to bring it up.

"And that was Goodfellas. Still one of the best gangster movies of all time." Sean said.

(Clips from the movie are shown once more)

Sean: (Narrating) This is the movie that started my love of gangster movies. I didn't get into the genre when I was younger, mostly due to how violent they are, but this movie showed me how excellent they are and made me check out other gangster films. This movie has some excellent acting, magnificent cinematography and a great atmosphere that brings you into the Mafia world. It's hard for me to poke fun at a movie that I love, but it's still an amazing movie. Plus, I'm proud to own the movie on DVD and I watch it all the time. This is one of Scorsese's finest works, and if you haven't seen it before, then go check it out. Watch it on Max or Paramount Plus or just go out and buy the DVD. If you've seen it and you own the movie on DVD just like me, then give it a watch again to learn about Henry Hill's life. Goodfellas comes in at 5 shine boxesout of 5.

"You know, that reminds me. I've got to check to see if things have calmed down." Sean said.

The young critic gets up from off of the couch to make his way over to the stairs and heads up to open the door. He wears his mask and he peeks out nervously, only to see Taylor and Callie sitting on the couch watching Animaniacs with Brian while Dave is playing Banjo-Tooie on Sean's Nintendo Switch.

"Huh." Sean said as he removed his mask. "Looks like things got back to normal."

"Hey, babe. What were you doing down there?" Taylor asked.

"I was working on a review of Goodfellas." Sean said.

"Man, everybody is going to love you for reviewing that movie. Especially your insights on Henry Hill's life." Callie said.

"It's still one of the best movies of all time." Brian said.

"Yeah, you're right. They are gonna love me for that." Sean said as he looks at the camera and smiles.

(We then see Dave, who's dressed as Tommy, shooting at the camera six times)

"Dave, what the hell?! You shot my camera!" Sean yelled out.

"What? I thought we were going for a Goodfellas-type ending." Dave said.

"Oh, brother." Sean said as he leaves the living room.
