Noooooooo! Not Frank. "Now go back and get your f***ing shine box!" rip mr vincent.
Did you know before the movies he and Pesci did a double act on stage where they played a couple of old style entertainers, called the The New Vaudevillians - where they would tell jokes, insult members of the audience etc. I think this was vegas where they mixed with and performed for wiseguys. It was this period and the company they kept that gave them the inspiration and ability to play such mobsters so well.

Heres some cooking for you, to remember Henry Hill, and Frank Vincent et al.
Paulie was doing a year for contempt… and had a wonderful system for garlic. He used a razor and sliced it so thin… it would liquefy in the pan with a little bit of oil. It’s a very good system.
Vinnie was in charge of the tomato sauce.
-“Three kinds of meat in the meatballs. Veal, beef, and pork. You got to have pork. That’s the flavor.”
I felt he used too many onions, but it was still a good sauce.
“Don’t put in too many onions.”
-“I didn’t put too much onions in, Paul. There are only three small onions.”
“Three onions? How many tomatoes?”
– “Two big cans.”
“You don’t need three onions.”
Johnny Dio did the meat. We had no broiler, so he did everything in pans. It smelled up the joint and the hacks used to die… but he cooked a great steak.
“How do you like yours?”
-“Medium rare.”
“Medium rare. An aristocrat.”
When you think of prison you get pictures in your mind… of all those old movies with rows and rows of guys behind bars. It wasn’t like that for wiseguys. It wasn’t bad, but I missed Jimmy, who was doing his time in Atlanta.
-“Give me two steaks.”
Everyone else in the joint was doing real time, all together, living like pigs.
But we lived alone. We owned the joint…
“Sorry it took so long. That skinny guard’s a pain in the ass.”
– “We have to take care of that bastard.”
“I took care of him.”
-“What’d you bring?”
“Some bread. I got peppers and onions. Salami, prosciutto, a lot of cheese.”
-“What else?”
“Scotch. Red wine.”
– “Now we can eat.”
– “Some white, too.”
“Beautiful give me the white too. Okay, boys, let’s eat. Come on, Johnny, Vinnie. Tomorrow sandwiches. You got to go on a diet, Vinnie.”
