Henry

[sniffling]

Paulie, I am really sorry. I don't know what else to say. I know I **** up.

Paulie

You **** up.

Henry

You know but I'm all right know. I can be trusted now, Paulie. I'm clean. On my kids, I'm clean.

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

3,200 bucks. That's what he gave me. 3,200 bucks for a lifetime. Wasn't even enough to pay for the coffin.

Henry Hill As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. To me, being a gangster was better than being President of the United States. Henry Hill I was the luckiest kid in the world. I could go anywhere. I could do anything. I knew everybody and everybody knew me. I was part of something. And I belonged. I was treated like a grown-up. Every day, I was learning to score. A dollar here. A dollar there. I was living a fantasy. Henry Hill People looked at me differently and they knew I was with somebody. At thirteen, I was making more money than most of the grown-ups in the neighborhood. I mean, I had more money than I could spend. I had it all. One day the kids from the neighborhood carried my mother's groceries all the way home. You know why? It was out of respect.
