Aaaaw No...

That's what Joe Pesci says when he comes to realize his "making" ceremony is actually his execution.

Now this is the first time I considered exercising restraint in my blog - but then I realized folks don't have to read this or look at it if they don't like it - and yes that includes you. This scene is priceless.


 He doesn't see it coming - even though he should after all he's gotten away with. The only really surprised people are him and his two closest friends. He gets executed by some senior associates of his. And when it's all said and done, there isn't much to say.

"And dat's dat," is all the supporting character says after the hit.

It's just business. But his friends don't see it that way - it's much more complex. Even the audience doesn't see it that way. We know he screwed up, but this was really fucked up. But then again - it's just business.

In the end there's not much any character feels they can reasonably do w/out aggravating the situation and making it worse than it already is. So everyone just moves on.

And dat's dat.
