Scenes I Love: How is Tommy DeVito funny from Goodfellas


In honor of Joe Pesci’s birthday, today’s scene that I love comes from 1990’s Goodfellas.  This iconic scene was largely improvised by Joe Pesci and Ray Liotta.  Reportedly, Pesci based the scene on an actual incident that he observed.

It’s also interesting to note that Tommy’s comment of “you might fold under pressure” turns out to be true.
