Karen:
[narrating, at a makeup party with other wives] It was rough seeing the wives of other gangsters. They did not take care of themselves; they looked beat up and their faces were caked with makeup. Most of the time was spent talking about how rotten their kids were; how they decked them or whipped them with electrical wiring and the kids still wouldn't pay attention. [later in her bedroom] I don't think I can do it, Henry.
Henry:
Do what?
Karen:
This whole thing. Jeannie said her husband was sent to jail. God forbid, what if that happened to you?
Henry:
Bet she didn't tell you why her husband went there?
Karen:
How come?
Henry:
To get away from Jeannie! Karen, when it comes to the Mafia no one goes to jail unless they want to. We beat the system and I got it all figured out. I am organized; I got my sh*t together. You know who goes to jail? N*gger stickup men. Know why they get caught? Because they fall asleep in the getaway car.
