Henry has just been released from prison

Henry's Children:
Daddy! Are you out for good? Are you coming to my recital? Here is a picture I drew!

Henry takes a look at the low-rent tenement his wife and kids are looking in and reacts with disgust

Henry:
Karen, get packed. We are moving out. I am going to Pittsburgh tommorow.

Karen:
What? You have a meeting with your parole officer tommorow.

Henry:
Don't worry, they owe me $15,000. Who wants to go to Uncle Paulie's?

Children cheer. Cut to Paulie's house where people have a big dinner. Later Paulie speaks to Henry in private

Paulie:
I do not want any more of that sh*t.

Henry:
I have no idea what's going on here.

Paulie:
I mean the drugs! I do not want any more of that junk.

Henry:
Paulie, why would I want to get mixed up in that?

Paulie:
Just don't do it. I am not talking about what you did in the can. You get a pass for that. In there you had to do what you to do to support your family. I am talking about there here and now. I do not want to end up like Gribbs. Gribbs got twenty years just for saying good morning to some scuzz who was selling junk behind his back! Gribbs is 70 years old; the poor man is going to die in prison. So I am warning everyone, it could be my son, it could be anyone.

[Cut to Henry making cocaine]

Henry:
[voiceover] It took me two weeks of sneaking the stuff around, but when I did, it was a real score. In a month I had a down payment on my house and things were rolling. I knew as long as the cash kept rolling in; Paulie would never find out.
