Joe Pesci just asking his mother if he could borrow her butcher knife in the film Goodfellas (1990).

It’s a classic scene, but could you imagine trying to borrow a butcher knife from somebody, especially your dear old mother?  Yeah, mom I just need to “borrow” this butcher knife for a little while.  I’ll get it back to you soon, don’t worry about it.  I just need to butcher something…
