    Four and a half stars. Mixed with true or false friendship and true and false joy, Scorsese's film can reconcile the positive and negative aspects of crime in an extremely complex way.

    Paul Cicero: Just stay away from the garbage, you know what I mean.

    Henry Hill: Look, Paulie...

    Paul Cicero: I'm not talking about what you did inside, you did what you had to do, I'm talking about now, from now, here and now.

    Henry Hill: Paulie, why would I want to get into that...

    Paul Cicero: Don't make a jerk out of me, just don't do it... just don't do it. Now I want to talk to you about Jimmy, you have to watch out for him. He's a good earner but he's wild, takes too many chances.

    Henry Hill: Yeah, I know that, I know Jimmy, you think I would take chances like Jimmy?

    Paul Cicero: And Tommy, he's a good kid too. But he's crazy, he's a cowboy, he's got too much to prove. You gotta watch out for kids like this.

    Henry Hill: Yeah, I know what they are, I only use them for certain things, believe me, you don't have to worry.

    Paul Cicero: Listen, I ain't gonna get fucked like Gribbs, understand? Gribbs is 70 years old, and the fuckin' guy's gonna die in prison. I don't need that. So I'm warning everybody, EVERYBODY. It could be my son, it could be anybody. Gribbs got 20 years just for saying "hello" to some fuck who was sneaking behind his back selling junk. I don't need that.
