What Jimmy really loved to do, what he really loved to do was steal. I mean he actually enjoyed it. Jimmy was the kind of guy who rooted for the bad guys in the movies.

Goodfellas quotes
Page 6 of 6What the **** are you doing? You're hanging around my ****in' neck like a vulture, like impending danger.
What, do you got me on a ****in' pay-no-mind list kid?
You gotta go back. I mean, it's the only way. You got to keep up appearances. Please, there's no other way. You're not gonna get a divorce. We're not animali.
You know Spider, you're a ****in' mumbling stuttering little prick. You know that?
You know, we always called each other good fellas. Like you said to, uh, 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 good fellas. Wise guys. But Jimmy and I could never be made because we had Irish blood. It didn't even matter that my mother was Sicilian. To become a member of a crew you've got to be one hundred per cent Italian so they can trace all your relatives back to the old country. See, it's the highest honor they can give you. It means you belong to a family and crew. It means that nobody can **** around with you. It also means you could **** around with anybody just as long as they aren't also a member. It's like a license to steal. It's a license to do anything. As far as Jimmy was concerned with Tommy being made, it was like we were all being made. We would now have one of our own as a member.
