    The look and feel of the second brush is better than the first brush, but the rhythm personally thinks it is not as good as "Casino Wind and Cloud". Brotherhood is a superficial foil in front of self-interest. I respect you because I look up to you, but it does not mean that I will go to prison with you. The narration is applied so skillfully that it doesn't sound redundant, and points are again added to Scoumek's editing and Joe Pesci's frantic performance. I will never forget the scene of the pink Cadillac when Layla's piano music played.

Goodfellas quotes

  • Henry Hill: [narrating] All they got from Paulie was protection from other guys looking to rip them off. That's what it's all about. That's what the FBI can never understand - that what Paulie and the organization offer is protection for the kinds of guys who can't go to the cops. They're like the police department for wiseguys.

  • Henry Hill: [narrating] Paulie may have moved slow, but it was only because Paulie didn't have to move for anybody.
