Question for the Kiwis . . .

I see. For some reason I'm reminded of the scene from the movie Goodfellas between Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta . . .

Henry Hill: You're a pistol, you're really funny. You're really funny.

Tommy DeVito: What do you mean I'm funny?

Henry Hill: It's funny, you know. It's a good story, it's funny, you're a funny guy.

[laughs]

Tommy DeVito: What do you mean, you mean the way I talk? What?

Henry Hill: It's just, you know. You're just funny, it's... funny, the way you tell the story and everything.

Tommy DeVito: [it becomes quiet] Funny how? What's funny about it?

Anthony Stabile: Tommy no, You got it all wrong.

Tommy DeVito: Oh, oh, Anthony. He's a big boy, he knows what he said. What did ya say? Funny how?

Henry Hill: Jus...

Tommy DeVito: What?

Henry Hill: Just... ya know... you're funny.

Tommy DeVito: You mean, let me understand this cause, ya know maybe it's me, I'm a little fucked up maybe, but I'm funny how, I mean funny like I'm a clown, I amuse you? I make you laugh, I'm here to fuckin' amuse you? What do you mean funny, funny how? How am I funny?

Henry Hill: Just... you know, how you tell the story, what?

Tommy DeVito: No, no, I don't know, you said it. How do I know? You said I'm funny. How the fuck am I funny, what the fuck is so funny about me? Tell me, tell me what's funny!

Henry Hill: [long pause] Get the fuck out of here, Tommy!

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.

Now that is a good movie!!! Like the first two Godfather movies!! Dunno how a small comical sounding actor like Pesci can make such a brilliant badass!!! 

What's funny....lol

"Now that is a good movie!!! Like the first two Godfather movies!! Dunno how a small comical sounding actor like Pesci can make such a brilliant badass!!!"

Pesci does the unhinged-yet-funny villain role brilliantly. His characters Nick in the movie Casino and Tommy in 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag were also masterpieces.

i loved that scene in goodfella, from the start when hes telling that hillarious joke about i thought i told u to go F ur mother. to the u really are a funny guy, classic.

joe pecci is a crack up, i sometimes wonder how macaulay culkin in homealone would have handled the joe pecci from goodfellas or casino, lolz, :oP

i like copplas godfather series, but scorseses gangsta films are my favourites, departed (best asian film remake), casino, goodfellas are all films i watch at least once a year. i like his other works too, shutter island, cape fear, raginging bull, hugo, one of my favourite directors along with danny boyle, chris nolan and zack synder.

 @ka mate and root neck - apologies if the subtleties of my humour escapes u... I will spell it out for u.... Of course I know I know warriors movie was that.... Hmmmmmm no wonder kiwis don't like Greg Martin he's too subtle for them.... Btw he and I share same elite high schooling he actually used to come down to our training grounds as a wallaby of the amateur era... Probably about the time Saffas we under ban for being too moralistic root neck.....
