Nicky's methods of betting weren't scientific, but they worked. When he won, he collected. When he lost, he told the bookies to go fuck themselves. I mean, what were they going to do, muscle Nicky? Nicky was the muscle.

 

 

 

I think in all fairness, I should explain to you exactly what it is that I do. For instance tomorrow morning I'll get up nice and early, take a walk down over to the bank and... walk in and see and, uh... if you don't have my money for me, I'll... crack your fuckin' head wide-open in front of everybody in the bank. And just about the time that I'm comin' out of jail, hopefully, you'll be coming out of your coma. And guess what? I'll split your fuckin' head open again. 'Cause I'm fuckin' stupid. I don't give a fuck about jail. That's my business. That's what I do.

 

 

You hear a little girl, Frankie? Is that a little girl, Ace? Is that a little fuckin' girl? What happened to the fuckin' tough guy who told my friend to stick it up his fuckin' ass?

 

 

Maybe if I stick your head through that window over there you'll get unconfused. Give me the fuckin money.

i've watched mean streets on a number of occasions. everytime it ends i always ask myself...

 

"what the fuck was that film aboot?"

 

Think of it like a dramatic episode of Seinfeld. It is just some "day in the life of..." type shit & the characters that make the day/neighborhood/life interesting.

 

That's what I get from it, anyway. I think Scorsese was doing a lot of blow when Mean Streets was made.

What's your scariest Scorsese film scene?

 

Have you guys seen FEARnet’s list of the 12 Scariest Moments in Scorsese Movies? It’s a really awesome article, and I’m sure that after seeing ‘Shutter Island’ this weekend I’ll have my own favorite scary moment. What’s yours?!

Tommy DeVito: [everyone laughs] Ya motherfucker! I almost had him, I almost had him. Ya stuttering prick ya. Frankie, was he shaking? I wonder about you sometimes, Henry. You may fold under questioning.

 

 

 

 

 

Henry Hill: [narrating] And then there was Jimmy Two Times, who got that nickname because he said everything twice, like:

Jimmy Two Times: I'm gonna go get the papers, get the papers.

 

 

 

 

 

Tommy DeVito: Oh, I like this one... One dog goes one way, the other dog goes the other way, and this guy's sayin', "Whadda ya want from me?'
