 Goodfellas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
As a boy, Henry idolized the Lucchese crime family gangsters in his blue-collar, predominantly Italian New York City neighbourhood, and in 1955 quit school and went to work for them at a local cab stand, much to the dismay of his working-class parents.
Henry ultimately ignores Paul and involves Tommy and Jimmy (as well as his wife, and new mistress (Debi Mazar), and babysitter) in an elaborate smuggling operation.
Henry is actually disappointed at his predicament, even though he is relieved and lucky to be alive from the Mob life, and he would still be a gangster, even if he could reverse time.
