This is such a great illustration of how power is being conveyed while still showing respect to other crews. He wasn’t telling them not to run the scam, just not to run it there. Honor among thieves, so to speak.
Back then the Chicago Outfit ran Vegas. Any mobster from any of the five families of New York or anywhere else would have known better to have pulled some shit like that in Vegas back then. They'd have never made it out of Vegas alive. Chicago ran everything west of the Mississippi, The 5 families ran everything east of the Mississippi. Arizona and Southern Florida were open territory.
Fear among thieves maybe - honor (ironic or not) is unknown to these parasites. And we can’t say “crews” like you did - they can, these thug gangsters, but it sounds funny when we do it. I made the same mistake…once, long ago.
@@iceonthesun8880if you had any sense, you wouldn't moan about thieves doing what they do, especially if it's being done in a movie. The self righteousness nowadays...madone
Love the 'italian' speak in this scene. This is what it generally means: Nicky: I'm over here now. I'm over here with him. (Trans: I'm the muscle protecting this casino, and also Sam) Guys: We're just waiting on Carmine (Trans: We thought we had the green light to come here and waiting to get paid) Nicky: I saw him before he had a suitcase and everything and left (Trans: No. You must leave now and can't take this casino's money with you, but we will also forget you even came here.) Guys: Carmine left? He's gone? He's not here? (Trans: We didn't know you were here. Can we leave without causing a problem?) Nicky: Yeah I think y'know he might have went across the street or somewhere else I don't know (Trans: You can rob the other casinos in the area, just not this one. We'll give you a pass today as a warning) Guys: Well listen uh.. good luck with the joint (Trans: We sincerely apologize and it won't ever happen again, we appreciate the respect you showed us)
I am going to steal and us that. "Hey Jake what are you up too?!" "I'm over here now?!" "Where?!" "On the beach with Margot Robbie, where the fuck you think I am?!"
I get the just of what he did very powerful seen, but one part always confused me. The we are waiting for Carmine part? Then he said he got his suit case and left , but clearly won’t answer them when they asked if he left? Then of. Of course he says he is across the street so they can take business elsewhere. But if they already knew he was over there and back down immediately. What was Carmine part about? Last question how were they able to get a 200k marker? If it was that easy the mob would have sent the whole family!
@@bigcav925 "Carmine" is THE CON which they are trying to pull.... Carmine is gone means take it somewhere else , across the street or wherever but no more Suitcases( money) out of here ...... If you notice in another part of the Movie ( the Count Room) they also use the term " suitcases" to describe the money being SKIMMED... These guys in another Crew have been warned, do not come back .
@@bigcav925 "Carmine was here. We were waiting for Carmine": "We didn't know you were here." "Yeah he had his suitcase and everything but he left": "You can leave if go right now and don't try to recover what you invested into this." "He left? He's gone?": "How far do we have to go?" "I think he went across the street or something": "Just not in our territory."
I would not call it respect. I would say it's stating in the friendliest way possible: "Try to steal a nickel from this place, and you won't be breathing anymore."
some people won't say that's his best scene ever but they don't get that he just calmly walked up and chased an entire mob clan permanently out of a Vegas casino with a toothpick and a sneer. intimidation at its finest.
it's good, but my favorite scene is still the bar where he stabs the guy in the throat with his own pen for insulting Ace. this movie is the reason why "jagoff" is my favorite slanderous word to call someone.
Las Vegas was divided between families. That silence was him saying to them "This joint belongs to the Chicago Outfit. Just take your time grasping the fact. Now, do you have any problems with that?" The two wise guys could be from some of the smaller families like Buffalo, Rochester, maybe New Jersey just trying to earn for their families. Or they could even be from New York and were trying to expand their family's territory in Vegas
I dunno' about the "perfect cast". I mean, Sharon Stone did fine, but she's a *horrible* actress. The role fit her well, but it's only because she's probably naturally inclined to look simultaneously dazzling *and* like a crack-whore.
My favorite Joe Pesci line is when he is talking to the banker. "I think that you’ve gotten the wrong impression about me. 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."
"Ohhhh right, now i get it, no problem. Why didn't you just say so? I'll have your money first thing. But listen, my daughter's dating this real scumbag...."
Are you saved? If you died tonight would you go to heaven or hell? The Gospel, which means the Good News is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. The one God is a trinity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The Son came and laid down his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. Although God's creation was created perfect, having no death, sickness and disease, the creation became corrupted through Adam and Eve in them disobeying God. In this rebellion the creation became fallen through the curse of sin and mankind became separated from God. This world is fallen, but God offers reconciliation to him through his provision at the cross. Ultimately God will restore his creation to perfection when he returns but those that who reject his offer of redemption will remain condemned by their sins and go to hell. John 1:1,14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH , and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
I just noticed that too! He briefly stopped chewing on the toothpick too for a sec. THAT'S what makes a great actor from a good actor, just the little stuff. James Gandolfini and Van Zandt were great with doing that in Sopranos as well.
Goes against all the rules, imagine a newer director telling one of the stars that the shot is set up so he is facing away from the camera. Of course with Scorcese nobody is going to question it.
To me, this is the most important scene of the film. Nikki Santoro doesn't even need to spell it out. He just answers their questions with silence and a raised brow and they immediately understand that their lives depend upon them leaving, now, and forgetting that "Carmine" ever existed. Today, Carmine was their friend. Now, Carmine doesn't exist.
Well, Godot never showed up, so why the hell not? 😁 But I have a feeling Carmine isn't coming either.... He's buried under a cactus somewhere North of Vegas.
I always thought that was one of his most authentic mob scenes too. Ironically it's where he holds back and under acts and is reserved and quiet. He does that a lot in the Irishman too. And he was fantastic in that as well. His most famous scenes are the opposite. There is a lesson in that young actors.
@r_man I think they're too old to be doing the flashback to when they were young stuff. The cgi was not good. I think the one part that comes to mind for everyone is, when Denerio was stomping the store guy on the ground. That was real bad
This is the equivalent of Carmine Sr. on the sopranos ordering a hit on Johnny Sack by saying literally nothing. “What are you gonna do?” “Me? Nothing”
I love this scene because he's letting them know that he's here protecting this casino and that Carmine went across the street. Meaning "Try that bullshit somewhere else" So they take off.
The guy with the beard was in Goodfellas wearing the glasses sitting next to Henry during the "you're a funny guy" scene. He was a cop in real life who ended up mobbed up. He was one of the many shady characters they rounded up for Goodfellas to work as consultants in exchange for bit roles. Read about it in the new book about the movie.
It's really distinctive, all the bloom lighting. This movie still stands out because I don't know of any other film that looks like this. I guess it'd look strange over an HD film.
Classic how he taps him on the right shoulder then ducks left to force him to turn a full 180. Subtle sign that conveys he will always going be watching.
I love Pesci's Chicago accent in this movie. You expect to hear Tommy's voice from Goodfellas but you hear that Chicago, "over dare," enunciation. Brilliant!
The DeNiro character is based on Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal. When I was in college in the early 90’s, I worked at a place in Boca Raton FL called Croc’s Sport Bar. Rosenthal got hired as the general manager. He would stand in different corners of the place and just watch. Everyone and everything. Just intense stare. Just analyzing situations. Like he was sizing everyone up. With a cigarette in hand. Very creepy.
My favorite is just a voice over. Nicky-"Lotsa problems buried in that desert. But you gotta have the hole dug before you show up with the package. Someone comes along at random, you gotta dig another hole. You could be out there all fuckin' night, digging holes".
really is a subtle scene. if you've ever been around in Pennsylvania, New York, etc, you'll still find a lot of guys who talk like these folks; not gangsters, just everyday people.
Not really Pennsylvania, unless you're talking about the tiny part of Pennsylvania known as South Philly. It's really a northern Jersey, NYC thing, or in the case of this character, a Chicago accent.
@@danielstoddart North Jersey checking in and I concur with this statement. NY is pretty diversified so not so much on the gangster mannerisms for most people but get up above Mahwah in Jersey and goddamn....EVERYONE does this. I am speaking from the 80's and 90's, especially.
Michael Franzese even says that Pesci knocked this out of the park. Talks about how he does his homework and it just flows naturally out of him. Couldn't be more believable if a real gangster acted it himself.
Mine's, "Carmine's gone. (Pause) yeah... He left." That Freaks people out!!! It's ALL I can do not to bust a gut laughing when they walk away!!! 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@jimsmith9853 Tell me about it. I was in NY last year. The Afghan hot dog vendor on the upper west side (around West 67th and Central Park) tried to stitch me a for a hot dog and drink. I pulled out a $5 bill and two $1 bills after ordering a hot dog and coke. He looked at me as if to say that wasn't enough. Then I pull out a $20 and ask how much and he reaches his hand out for the $20 without telling me the price. I told don't worry about it buddy and not to try and hustle a hustler. He insisted I had to pay and I told him welcome to the free market. Keep your stock I'll keep my money. I asked him why would I pay you around $5 for a hot dog when I can go to Franks stand in midtown and pay $2 or get three hot dogs and a 32 ounce drink for $10 at Grays on Broadway. He wasn't happy. I'm not from NY but I'm a frequent visitor.
@@silvervalleystudios2486 how are the hot dogs from the vendors in NYC? I'm from California and never been to NYC, but I've heard that the dogs are good.
The guy the character was based on was Anthony “ Tony the Ant” Spiolotro. He was known to be vicious. He definitely could have pulled off that move in real life.
Destefano was propley the biggest lunatic in the history of the mob. Sure some outfit guys say frank the german swiess or larry lurch newman and to be honest they were complete lunatics that did things for there own phycotic deluded pleasures but i dont know anybody in the mob that was an actualy devil whorshiper.. Sam taught he was bein comanded by the devil, used to set up alters and roll around the floor fraughting at the mouth shouting command me saten im here to serve you.. He kidnapped a guy and forced him and his wife to have sex at gun point, he pissed on his lawyer, he used to piss into the Bill Roamers coffee and prance around in front of him naked.. He was planning on buying a pig farm and used to drive to a farm and watch the pigs and fantazise about feeding um live bodys and he would just stay there for hours on his own - i guess to him it was peaceful - to the average person a horror show.. He used to foam at the mouth when he used to tourcher poeple now that shit right there is a different type of crazy.. Spilotro learned his craft from this guy thats why spilotro was such a phyco, not only that spilotro was with milwaki phil before this - he only learned his craft from the 2 most vicious killers in the outfit at that time... Milwaki phil was another nut, hence spilotro became a nut only more in control and reserved than those 2.. Yet with spilitro when that camera was on him you can see there was an underling menace there just waiting to explode - his viciouness was evident.... .
"So what are you gonna do about it?" "Me? Nothin." "What does that mean?" "I didn't say nothin..." "Someone should do something about it." "I appreciate your thoughts." "Are you saying what I think your saying?" "I didn't say nothin...Alright then I'll talk to ya."
You can see the two guys doing the internal math, like how Robert Downey Jr. did when he was Sherlock Holmes. How they are running through the possible scenarios, what they're going to tell the bosses back home, what if the bosses tell them to stay, what would Pesci do, how they might maneuver around him, what's likely to happen, how do they leave with their legs unbroken.....all that in, "Carmine's gone?"
Presence is everything. When I was in my teens, my grandfather (an old school east end Londoner) told me.. If you get a few big lumps turn up on your door, it's intimidation, If you get a lone small bloke, you should be looking for the back door, sharpish.
EVERY scene with Joe Pesci in Casino was the best scene. Actually -- every scene in every movie with Joe Pesci is the best scene ---- in the entire movie. If Joe Pesci did a toothpaste commercial -- it would be the best scene of any commercial ever made. There is NOBODY like him.
Ha ! That’s great ! Thanks. I think I’m hearing Twilight Zone music in the background. I’m recuperating from surgery. A friend brought dinner for me --- and --- a bag of bite size -- you guessed it -- SNICKERS. 👀
Carmine probably wasn't even there that day. When Pesci mentions that he also saw Carmine, who wasn't there at all, and he left the Casino, that's a clear message for those two.
I always loved the part at the end after he muscled the two guys out and the clerk says they didn't sign their papers and he dismissively shoves them back to the clerk and says they don't need those anymore.
And then there's Terry Two Times, we used to call him that cause he used to say everything twice.... "Hey they forgot to sign their papers, sign their papers"
I like that this whole thing was taken care of with simple conversation, handshakes and a peaceful resolution. No insults, no threats, no violence, everyone is (seemingly) on good terms. At the same time, if you don't know the hidden meanings, the context, the coded language, the actual words seem rather silly: "He left." "He's not here?" (well, if he left, that means he's not here) "I'm over here now" (which you can easily see since I'm standing right in front of you).
That's true Cosa Nostra. You are never allowed to verbally abuse another made member or accuse them of being a liar. The little guy was from Chicago and part of The Outfit which isn't exactly Cosa Nostra but I'm assuming the same rules are followed to an extent since both have seats on the Commission. Great realistic writing
Well if it was someone else(who doesn’t know who Nicky is) he would have to insult him and threat him, like he did to that banker. Just by seeing a made men from Chicago in Vegas casino, and he tells you that he is with casino managers, its not hard to understand message. So its not like there are hidden codes, its all about do you know who the person you are speaking with is
They were made guys. Nicky was just letting them know that they can't rob this place. Once they got the message they moved on. Its business. They understood.
Joe couldn't intimidate a 5 year old, it's laughable he was cast in this role. Anything that's got a midget as the bad ass was surely a director have fun with the audience.
I cannot say I can imagine Joe Pesci playing the part of a leading male ballet dancer as realistically as Tom Cruise for example, but for this type of movie there is none better. He is very, very, real.
Oh, I can see him doing a ballet dancer role just fine. I mean, as long as it's okay for him to pull out a .38 and yell at another dancer, "dance, Spider! Dance the fnckin' drink back here!"
The best part is the intimidation through silence, when he doesn't answer 'Carmine left ? He's gone ? he's not here ? Carmines gone...nothing but a subtle blank stare says it all - they got the message
The way Nicky walks in with his hand 3/4 clenched at 0:10 makes it clear who’s going to be in charge here. Then the relaxed authority he projects with this hand in front of him and fiddling with the toothpick in his mouth. Small details that make the scene work even without a word of dialogue.
"I think, maybe he went across the street, or somewhere else. I don't know." A message...loud and clear.
I thought he was saying "maybe you want to cross the street or somewhere else."
Casino is a 178 minute movie about why Carmine never showed up at the Casino.

And he was fantastic in that as well. His most famous scenes are the opposite. There is a lesson in that young actors.
The look Frank and Russ share just before Frank sets up the hit on Joe Gallo. Not a word spoken but you know damn well what's about to happen.
Irishman was weak
@@kmoney604 What was weak to you? The movie or Pesci? Or both?
@r_man I think they're too old to be doing the flashback to when they were young stuff. The cgi was not good.
I think the one part that comes to mind for everyone is, when Denerio was stomping the store guy on the ground. That was real bad
@@kmoney604 Agreed on all that stuff. I think Pescis acting was terrific though.
"He had a suitcase and everything and he left." That makes it pretty clear.
The most unspoken threat never made on film.
This is the equivalent of Carmine Sr. on the sopranos ordering a hit on Johnny Sack by saying literally nothing.
“What are you gonna do?”
“Me? Nothing”
Carmine was an under rated character. I hope they show more of him and his suitcase in the sequel.
Have a Carmine sequel film called "Where Carmine Went"
Historically, Carmine always said the balloon heads are nothing more than a glorified crew.
That one’s a slippery fuck, huh? Him and those big fish lips of his.
@@Uncle_Jun A don doesn't wear short pants.
He does ask about Paulie though.
He never had the makings of a varsity athlete
With those big fish lips of his
I love this scene because he's letting them know that he's here protecting this casino and that Carmine went across the street. Meaning "Try that bullshit somewhere else" So they take off.
The guy with the beard was in Goodfellas wearing the glasses sitting next to Henry during the "you're a funny guy" scene. He was a cop in real life who ended up mobbed up. He was one of the many shady characters they rounded up for Goodfellas to work as consultants in exchange for bit roles. Read about it in the new book about the movie.
That's interesting, what was his name ?
@@starwarsroo2448 John Manca
Nicky Eyes
Yes John Manca, close friend of Scorsese's. Kicked off the NYPD for stealing Caddys with his partner.
They were both in Goodfellas...
The cinematography is amazing in this entire movie. Especially the lighting in the casino.
It's really distinctive, all the bloom lighting. This movie still stands out because I don't know of any other film that looks like this. I guess it'd look strange over an HD film.
Yep I always found the lighting to be utterly incredible. I believe this cinematographer went on to be Tarantinos preferred guy too
It truly makes it stand out
This is a very underrated scene, quite powerful
My favorite scene in the movie
Pesci always raises a big laugh. A genuinely funny guy.
Funny how?
@@brooksmc It's just the way he talks you know?
@@peternagy-im4be You say I talk funny?
@@mattimatkalainen yeah a real pistol
Ya hadda go an say it😁😁
Legend has it that Carmine is still across the street with his suit case.
Classic how he taps him on the right shoulder then ducks left to force him to turn a full 180. Subtle sign that conveys he will always going be watching.
🎯
1:07 looks like Jimmy two times made his way to Vegas
aweinster2 I forgot to sign the papers, sign the papers.

@@TheEpicProjects300K thats hilarious, hilarious
omg i never even thought of that lmao!! great call aweinster2!!
@Adam Irishconundrum They need to make two movies.
They way he walked up to them and hard-tapped the one guy on the shoulder. The kind of tap you nervously turn around for.
I love Pesci's Chicago accent in this movie. You expect to hear Tommy's voice from Goodfellas but you hear that Chicago, "over dare," enunciation. Brilliant!
The DeNiro character is based on Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal.
When I was in college in the early 90’s, I worked at a place in Boca Raton FL called Croc’s Sport Bar.
Rosenthal got hired as the general manager. He would stand in different corners of the place and just watch. Everyone and everything. Just intense stare. Just analyzing situations. Like he was sizing everyone up. With a cigarette in hand. Very creepy.
I'm pretty sure that didn't happen lol
@@gunman462 Swear to Jesus. Look it up. Google Crocs Sports Bar and Frank Rosenthal
"He was here before, had a shinebox and everything then he left"
😂😂😂
looooool
Just read this comment and lost my shit laughing. Not a lot makes me laugh out loud 😂
Absolutely... absolutely.
😂😂 "You are a funny Guy!"
This scene is awesome but I also liked him explaining to the banker exactly what it is that he does. LOL
I think that scene with the banker is my fave or the desert scene
My favorite is just a voice over.
Nicky-"Lotsa problems buried in that desert. But you gotta have the hole dug before you show up with the package. Someone comes along at random, you gotta dig another hole. You could be out there all fuckin' night, digging holes".
Where he stabs the guy with the pen is his best scene.
When he went off on Sherbert with the telephone or when he went off on the shit kicking cowboy with the phone
Pesci is in a long line of actors who came into the industry via comedy, but demonstrated his acting skills were much broader.
When he get a blowie in the Cadillac while nonchalantly talking about nothing was fine piece of cinematography
I want my memory wiped so I can enjoy watching this film for the first time again.
YES
Not so you can relive the first time you kissed a boy? Okay
@Woody Meggs :oD lool
Carmine was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars. He didn’t win, but his performance was outstanding.
I wouldn't worry about carmine. He's always been known to be a come from behind sorta guy.
@@morelife6508 healthy as a fucking rhino this guy
And right after Pesci delivered this ingeniously intimidating performance, he went and shined some more shoes.
@KYLE RITTENHOUSE - COMMUNIST EXTERMINATOR ;
Yeah... They're always looking for a new lawyer. 🤕
really is a subtle scene.
if you've ever been around in Pennsylvania, New York, etc, you'll still find a lot of guys who talk like these folks; not gangsters, just everyday people.
Not really Pennsylvania, unless you're talking about the tiny part of Pennsylvania known as South Philly. It's really a northern Jersey, NYC thing, or in the case of this character, a Chicago accent.
@@danielstoddart North Jersey checking in and I concur with this statement. NY is pretty diversified so not so much on the gangster mannerisms for most people but get up above Mahwah in Jersey and goddamn....EVERYONE does this.
I am speaking from the 80's and 90's, especially.
@@danielstoddart You can see it around Pittsburgh too. Large Italian-American population there. They talk the same, just use local Pittsburgh words.
North New Jersey*
One of the coldest scenes ever. a made man who enforces a casino...🏆
The stuff I've learned about the mob over the past 6 years...🫡
His voice. His height. Gives an impression he is a nice guy.... but only god know what a badass he is
Michael Franzese even says that Pesci knocked this out of the park. Talks about how he does his homework and it just flows naturally out of him. Couldn't be more believable if a real gangster acted it himself.
lol Franzese 🤦♂🤣
When your reputation truly proceeds you, you don’t have to say anything.
My stock response from now on when I'm at a party and someone asks what I do.
"I'm over here now."
Mine's, "Carmine's gone. (Pause) yeah... He left."
That Freaks people out!!!
It's ALL I can do not to bust a gut laughing when they walk away!!!
😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love this scene because, all the gangsters in it know exactly what's happening but nothing is said.
In NY we call it "read between the lines" or "telling you without saying" or "listen to what's not said"
@@jimsmith9853 Tell me about it. I was in NY last year. The Afghan hot dog vendor on the upper west side (around West 67th and Central Park) tried to stitch me a for a hot dog and drink. I pulled out a $5 bill and two $1 bills after ordering a hot dog and coke. He looked at me as if to say that wasn't enough. Then I pull out a $20 and ask how much and he reaches his hand out for the $20 without telling me the price. I told don't worry about it buddy and not to try and hustle a hustler. He insisted I had to pay and I told him welcome to the free market. Keep your stock I'll keep my money. I asked him why would I pay you around $5 for a hot dog when I can go to Franks stand in midtown and pay $2 or get three hot dogs and a 32 ounce drink for $10 at Grays on Broadway. He wasn't happy. I'm not from NY but I'm a frequent visitor.
@@jimsmith9853 the English speaking world calls it that
@@silvervalleystudios2486 how are the hot dogs from the vendors in NYC? I'm from California and never been to NYC, but I've heard that the dogs are good.
@Alejandro Armenta I watched a video about Grays. I would live to go to NYC someday and hit all of the eating spots.
The guy the character was based on was Anthony “ Tony the Ant” Spiolotro. He was known to be vicious. He definitely could have pulled off that move in real life.
I believe that.
The man was totally unhinged for real.
Hell, he even blew off Mad Sam's arm with the shotgun he used to whack him in his own garage.
Destefano was propley the biggest lunatic in the history of the mob. Sure some outfit guys say frank the german swiess or larry lurch newman and to be honest they were complete lunatics that did things for there own phycotic deluded pleasures but i dont know anybody in the mob that was an actualy devil whorshiper.. Sam taught he was bein comanded by the devil, used to set up alters and roll around the floor fraughting at the mouth shouting command me saten im here to serve you.. He kidnapped a guy and forced him and his wife to have sex at gun point, he pissed on his lawyer, he used to piss into the Bill Roamers coffee and prance around in front of him naked.. He was planning on buying a pig farm and used to drive to a farm and watch the pigs and fantazise about feeding um live bodys and he would just stay there for hours on his own - i guess to him it was peaceful - to the average person a horror show.. He used to foam at the mouth when he used to tourcher poeple now that shit right there is a different type of crazy.. Spilotro learned his craft from this guy thats why spilotro was such a phyco, not only that spilotro was with milwaki phil before this - he only learned his craft from the 2 most vicious killers in the outfit at that time... Milwaki phil was another nut, hence spilotro became a nut only more in control and reserved than those 2.. Yet with spilitro when that camera was on him you can see there was an underling menace there just waiting to explode - his viciouness was evident....

"So what are you gonna do about it?"
"Me? Nothin."
"What does that mean?"
"I didn't say nothin..."
"Someone should do something about it."
"I appreciate your thoughts."
"Are you saying what I think your saying?"
"I didn't say nothin...Alright then I'll talk to ya."
That one's a sneaky fuck. Him and those fish lips of his...
Just say it then, Walt fucken Whitman ova heyea.
Very allegorical
It's like the most confusing way to end a phone call i'd have been like okay go ahead and not even thought anything until the dial tone
@@marlonthomas8042 and pops with his testatories ain’t helping anyone
I love how he stares at them without saying anything. Wanted the balloon heads to take a hint.
You can see the two guys doing the internal math, like how Robert Downey Jr. did when he was Sherlock Holmes. How they are running through the possible scenarios, what they're going to tell the bosses back home, what if the bosses tell them to stay, what would Pesci do, how they might maneuver around him, what's likely to happen, how do they leave with their legs unbroken.....all that in, "Carmine's gone?"
Presence is everything. When I was in my teens, my grandfather (an old school east end Londoner) told me..
If you get a few big lumps turn up on your door, it's intimidation, If you get a lone small bloke, you should be looking for the back door, sharpish.
cool story bro
Yeah cool Story bro, if your grandad lived there now, he would be Khan not cairns
Sounds to me like Carmine left 'in' the suitcase.
Love how he just stares at them. Like you figure it out!
EVERY scene with Joe Pesci in Casino was the best scene. Actually -- every scene in every movie with Joe Pesci is the best scene ---- in the entire movie. If Joe Pesci did a toothpaste commercial -- it would be the best scene of any commercial ever made. There is NOBODY like him.
It's True. Did you see his Snickers commercial?
@Beardy: No. How did I miss THAT ?! I’ll see if it’s on UA-cam.
@@lilybond6485 ua-cam.com/video/MixNh9L7G5M/v-deo.html

a bag of bite size -- you guessed it -- SNICKERS. 👀
@@lilybond6485 No problem. Snickers had great commercials back then
This guy’s presence is so powerful! To hear him talk , is everything 😍❤️
The way Joe Pesci walks in the Casino, real OG.
What ya doin' here? "I'm over here now" "yeah, i'm over here now" lol
The old country dysfunctional repeating was great
The guy in the middle is the Spit of Lee Marvin, he even sounds like him lol.
Two criminals come to rob the place & quietly depart when they see who you're with...that's respect.
"Especially at the casino, where he definitely did NOT work" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
In 'CASINO" my favorite Joe Pesci scene... "Let me explain to you what I do. I'll take a nice walk down to the bank"! lol
"We're waiting on Carmine, him and those big fish lips of his".
The strong silences are frighteningly good!
Les Paul and Mary Ford in the background. Fabulous combination :)
How high the moon, great song.
Carmine probably wasn't even there that day. When Pesci mentions that he also saw Carmine, who wasn't there at all, and he left the Casino, that's a clear message for those two.
They walk to the casino across the street and lo and behold, there's Carmine, suitcase in hand.
I always loved the part at the end after he muscled the two guys out and the clerk says they didn't sign their papers and he dismissively shoves them back to the clerk and says they don't need those anymore.
Pesci called them "balloonheads". I was once called the same thing, but then it got better with "buckethead". Life is good!
My dad loves this scene
Youre my son!
Redskins?!?!
I taught you said I'm alright spider
"Shane"
@Ron Y. lol thank you
And then there's Terry Two Times, we used to call him that cause he used to say everything twice....
"Hey they forgot to sign their papers, sign their papers"
Pesci, Pacino, dinero, and frank vincent hands down best mob guy portrayal
What a cast. And Rickles.
"I think he got his suitcase and left, i don't know." lmaoooooo
It died on the vine..the guy, he moved or somethin
I like that this whole thing was taken care of with simple conversation, handshakes and a peaceful resolution. No insults, no threats, no violence, everyone is (seemingly) on good terms.
At the same time, if you don't know the hidden meanings, the context, the coded language, the actual words seem rather silly: "He left." "He's not here?" (well, if he left, that means he's not here) "I'm over here now" (which you can easily see since I'm standing right in front of you).
That's true Cosa Nostra. You are never allowed to verbally abuse another made member or accuse them of being a liar. The little guy was from Chicago and part of The Outfit which isn't exactly Cosa Nostra but I'm assuming the same rules are followed to an extent since both have seats on the Commission. Great realistic writing
Well if it was someone else(who doesn’t know who Nicky is) he would have to insult him and threat him, like he did to that banker. Just by seeing a made men from Chicago in Vegas casino, and he tells you that he is with casino managers, its not hard to understand message. So its not like there are hidden codes, its all about do you know who the person you are speaking with is
@@pietrosavastano4641 Chicago outfit is also Cosa Nostra
The dialogue is mwah! *chef’s kiss.*
A superb actor who can do comedy and drama with equal brilliance.
This movie scene is pure genius
That was intimidation at its finest!
Wasn't really intimidation, just a warning that there's a new crew running the place so the show's over.
"hence...the Intimidation'....dummy.
They were made guys. Nicky was just letting them know that they can't rob this place. Once they got the message they moved on. Its business. They understood.
Its amazing that every mafia family knows every mafia families made men and what they look like, even if they are in other parts of the country.
Joe couldn't intimidate a 5 year old, it's laughable he was cast in this role.
Anything that's got a midget as the bad ass was surely a director have fun with the audience.
Repeating words here... captures the beautiful dysfunction style the old country.
I think those 2 balloon heads are still looking for Carmine, Pesci nailed this scene 👍
I cannot say I can imagine Joe Pesci playing the part of a leading male ballet dancer as realistically as Tom Cruise for example, but for this type of movie there is none better. He is very, very, real.
Oh, I can see him doing a ballet dancer role just fine. I mean, as long as it's okay for him to pull out a .38 and yell at another dancer, "dance, Spider! Dance the fnckin' drink back here!"
When I was a kid in high school getting bullied, Nicky Santoro became my hero. I wished I could menace people this weel
Powerful scene, not a lot of dialog, but enough mimic tells all.
The moral of the story: Don't be a balloon head and always sign your papers.
Sign your papers
@M B 🤣
moral of the story is never wait on carmine
If they signed the papers their heads would end up in a vise.
Frank Vincent on being offered a role in 'Casino': "You mean I get to beat the fuck out of Pesci this time?"
The best part is the intimidation through silence, when he doesn't answer 'Carmine left ? He's gone ? he's not here ? Carmines gone...nothing but a subtle blank stare says it all - they got the message
That pause when Joe was being pressed to answer where Carmine was
I meant Nicky
“We’re looking for Little Carmine…”
“Brainless the 2nd?”
At 0:28 you got one balloon head looking one way and the other balloon head looking the other way. And this guys sayin’ whaddya want from me?
Well done!
I need a painting like that...
Nicely done!
Want some food? Sit down I'll make some pasta.
One of em's going East, the other one's going West. So what?
Hes gone? Hes not here? These 2 were the best
“Now go get your shine box”
Joe Pesci plays a EXCELLENT GANGSTER almost as good as Jimmy Cagney.
The way Nicky walks in with his hand 3/4 clenched at 0:10 makes it clear who’s going to be in charge here.
Then the relaxed authority he projects with this hand in front of him and fiddling with the toothpick in his mouth.
Small details that make the scene work even without a word of dialogue.
