Goodfellas Scene 5 lyrics
by Nicholas Pileggi
[INT. THE SUITE - A BASEMENT CARD SAME - NIGHT]
[Glazed walls, ornate sconces, and a rumpus room bar. HENRY, JIMMY, TOMMY and OTHER WISEGUYS are playing cards. TOMMY is a little drunk. SPIDER, a 22-year-old apprentice hood, is waiting on the PLAYERS, bringing then drinks. The sort, of thing we saw HENRY doing earlier. TOMMY is feeling expansive. He throws his jacket open TO REVEAL a gun tacked in his belt.]
TOMMY *impatiently*: Spider. C'mon, get me a seven and seven.
[WE SEE SPIDER deliver a drink to HENRY and slowly back toward the bar.]
TOMMY: Spider, what did I say? Did I say I was dying over here? Come on. Move it. Don't walk, dance. *to his fellow players* Did you ever see in the cowboy movies where they make them dance? Did you see The Oklahoma Kid, the only cowboy movie Cagney ever made? Come on, dance, you varmit.
[WE SEE TOMMY taking out his guns.]
SPIDER: Tommy, don't f*ck around.
TOMMY: Yahooo.
HENRY: Tommy, don't f*ck around. Put the gun away. Tommy!
TOMMY: No, no. It's okay.
HENRY: Tommy, come on. Put the gun away.
TOMMY: No. It's okay. Just watch this. Watch it.
[The gun explodes and WE SEE SPIDER shot in the foot.]
