HENRY: Very funny, guys.

JIMMY: Here's a leg!

TOMMY: Here's a wing! Hey, what do you like, the leg or the wing, Henry? Or ya still go for the old hearts and lungs?

HENRY: [Henry barfs.] Oh, that's so bad!

Here, we have an example of violence and gore played for laughs as they dig up Billy Batts' decomposing corpse. How is that possible? Because for these guys, violence has become routine.

Quote #5

TOMMY: All right, so he got shot in the foot. What is it, a big f***in' deal?

Of all of the characters in the movie, Tommy may have the most casual attitude about violence. He also has the highest propensity for it. That's a wicked scary combo—just ask Spider.

Quote #6

HENRY: I got enough to worry about getting f***ing whacked on the street! I gotta f***ing come home for this! I should f***ing kill you! How does it feel, huh? Huh? How does it feel, Karen?

Perhaps unsurprisingly, domestic violence is also a part of the mobster lifestyle. Here, after Karen holds a gun to her husband's head, Henry grabs the gun and threatens her right back.
