In GoodFellas, why didn't they just give Morrie his cut to shut him up? I mean, everybody else got their cut.
Because italians are part eggplant (see: niggers)
Greedy, fucking, niggers.
He was going to get a larger cut than everyone else because he set up the whole deal I imagine.
>>62734409
this was explained very clearly in the film.
giving people their cut just allowed them to spend it, attracting attention.
cheaper to just whack 'em
>>62734476
But that happened after everyone else got their cut.
You know why? And I've been close to the game. It's because nobody likes starving dogs, a hungry dog with charisma and personality, you feed that dog, a starving dog pissing you off and invading you for scraps, that pisses you off, and you kick the dog away.
They pushed him just to bring the worst of his starving fuck attitude. Guy wasn't even a snitch, just a very unlikable personality.
Miserable could fit the description, just a miserable cunt.

Bam in 3 years
Because Jimmy didn't like Maury and used him and had no patience with his constant ball-breaking.
>>62734409
Maury Loved attention. He had commercials he loved the lime light. De' Niro couldn't even keep his guys from from spending.
>>62734568
This. Presumably Jimmy wasn't ever paid in a timely fashion when Morrie asked for a loan or something like that, now the shoe was on the other foot.
>>62734547
does ray liotta say this in the movie? sounds like a line he narrated. if not, it wouldn't have been out of place in goodfellas
>>62734409
Because, fuck you pay me!
Was Jimmy going to whack Laurie or was she just paranoid?
>>62734686
You mean Karen?
>>62734440
>he's jealous of italians' rich culture
let me guess, puerto rican?
>>62734686
You mean Karen and yes. Karen was not going to walk out of that building alive. You can even hear a guy in there talking about blocking the window and then shushing the other guy when she comes into view.
>>62734686
I think it was inevitable. Maury just had that effect on him. Would have happened sooner or later as long as Maury was associated.
>>62734726
I'm white. (not brown like italian scum) nothing to be jealous of, gabagool boy.
>>62734627
No, this did happen. There is a scene right before when Henry drives to his neighbors house to pistol whip him.
>>62734801
> his neighbors
> Laurie
Did you fags even watch the movie?
Nobody was supposed to get their entire cut and he knew they wouldn't play by his rules no matter how much sense they made.
>pull off big score
>buy something big
Stupid WOPs.
>>62734521
everyone else was in da mob
>>62734409
Because Italians are not White.
>>62734547
> I've been close to the game
finished playing Mafia 2 ?
>>62734607
De Niro had his own fucking show where he used to yell judges and call them out on their bullshit
>>62734409
Everyone else in that job died except for the few key players.

>or was she just paranoid?
I think that's why the scene is so effective. Jimmy's body language and arbitrary insistence seems to indicate he had nefarious ideas and she was going to be killed or kidnapped as a way to extort Henry etc.
But the thing is too, if they just wanted to kill her or Henry then they would have just done it. I think the way the scene is put together really captures the paranoia that the two are feeling at the time - how much coke they are doing, the fact that people didn't believe them when they said they were "seeing helicopters" etc.
The fact that it's still a bit ambiguous is what makes it so effective. It's a well-done bit.
ONE DOG GOES ONE WAY AND THE OTHER GOES THE OTHER
>>62734409
I think because this part of the film is showing how greedy, corrupt and powerdrunk the boys had gotten. They were all rich as shit, and Morrie just wanted his fare share for setting up the deal.
But Morrie annoyed them, and it was more money for them.
After Morrie they just started killing everyone.
Scorcese understood the mob story and told it well.

Why don't you get yourself a nice girl and settle down like your friend Henry of there?
>>62735822
I do get nice girls, ma. I get one every night.
