There's this great character-driven scene two-thirds into GoodFellas where the worry-wort gangster Henry Hill is concerned about the police buzz surrounding the Lufthansa Heist. He walks into the bar where he and his cronies hang out, and his shoulders are bunched up in that red leather jacket of his, eyes open, and brows raised. Jimmy Conway, in a scene previous, was losing his shit on the thugs who were spending big money on Caddys and furs which was attracting attention from the coppers. In this scene, though, he's the picture of calm. No worries. Australian, even. Tommy DeVito, the monster, is the picture of calm, too. "There's nothing to worry about. Everything is beautiful." But, Henry insists, what about the FBI? The Lufthansa reports on the radio? What about... "He hasn't heard," they say. You see, Tommy was to be a made man, and that has overshadowed everything in these mens lives. It actually doesn't matter that the FBI is hot on their heels, at least for now, because they're celebrating something. And you can just see the relief on Hill's face. The worrying, for now, can rest. ¶ Pontiac effortlessly turned out her second-ever Butternut squash and Cheddar and Beer soup last night to a receptive stomach/soul. I cobbled together a salad, but it was her soup that turned things around for me. Guess what's for lunch? ¶ My ad in Communication Arts (March/April 2006) is now on newsstands! Page 10.
