      - Jimmy, could I talk to you now?
      - You're a pisser. A real pisser.
      Want to talk now? Okay, let's talk.
      I've never met a ball buster like you.
      Who loves you more than I do?
      - I'd do anything for you.
      - Except stop busting my balls.
      - Let's go have coffee.
      - Want to go to the diner?
      We'll go to the diner on the boulevard.
      - Which diner?
      - Rockaway Boulevard. It's open 24 hours.
      - They got danish?
      - They got everything.
      Let's pick up danish for Belle.
      [inside the car]
      [Tommy says] Hear about the points we were shaving
      in Boston?
      It's terrific. Nunzio...
      [Tommy sticks ice pick through back of Morrie's head]
      I thought he'd never shut the F up.
      What a pain in the ass.
      - What'll we do with him?
      - Chop him up and get rid of the car.
      Call me when you're through.

    I remember hearing about his a couple of years after I signed to play for Dr. Tom Davis at the University of Iowa. Dr. Tom is a great man! I never once sensed any bad vibe from this guy. I totally support him and love him dearly.... Go Hawks.

    Had a friend that played basketball @ BC the previous year. He mentioned some of these guys to me...one story involving a fight that he won in practice with one of them. Tragic story really. What can you say about Henry Hill?
    Well, a lot I suppose. This story never made into Good Fellas.

      The story was not in the movie, but the real-life prosecutor was. Edward McDonald, who prosecuted the Boston College point-shaving scandal in the early 80's, played himself as the prosecutor near the end of the movie, telling Ray Liotta/Henry Hill and his wife that their only chance to survive was to turn state's evidence and go into the witness protection program.

      @@fasteddylove876 , there is a tiny brief mention of the point-shaving if you go about 1hr 45min into the movie right before Morris "Morrie" Kessler gets killed by Tommy in the car (where he puts the screwdriver in the back of his head), he says it so quick you could miss it.

      Even Stevie Wonder could have seen that this would sign a death warrant. So much money already dumped into the scheme by the Mafia that it all would have went POOF, along with what would have been the profits that they would have also counted as being taken from them.
