Henry Hill:
[narrating; Paul is slicing the garlic with a razor]
In prison, dinner was always a big thing. We had a pasta course and then we had a meat or fish. Paulie did the prep work. He was doing a year for contempt, and he had this wonderful system for doing the garlic. He used a razor, and he used to slice it so thin that he used to liquefy in the pan with just a little oil. It was a very good system.

In prison, dinner was always a big thing.
00:00:06.128 --> 00:00:09.672
We had a pasta course,
and then we had a meat or a fish.
00:00:10.216 --> 00:00:13.134
Paulie did the prep work.
He was doing a year for contempt...
00:00:13.302 --> 00:00:15.637
and had this wonderful system
for doing the garlic.
00:00:15.805 --> 00:00:18.807
He used a razor,
and he used to slice it so thin...
00:00:18.974 --> 00:00:21.768
that it used to liquefy in the pan
with just a little oil.
00:00:21.936 --> 00:00:23.895
It was a very good system.
00:00:24.999 --> 00:00:26.564
Vinnie was in charge of the tomato sauce.
00:00:26.732 --> 00:00:28.149
Get the smell?
00:00:28.317 --> 00:00:31.001
Three kinds of meat in the meatballs:
00:00:31.195 --> 00:00:33.238
veal, beef, and pork.
00:00:33.614 --> 00:00:35.698
Good, but you gotta have the pork.
00:00:35.866 --> 00:00:37.409
That's the flavor.
00:00:37.576 --> 00:00:41.999
I felt he used too many onions,
but it was still a very good sauce.
00:00:41.205 --> 00:00:43.998
Vinnie, don't put too many onions
in the sauce.
00:00:44.166 --> 00:00:46.751
I didn't put too much onions in, Paul.
00:00:47.997 --> 00:00:48.837
Put three small onions, that's all I did.
00:00:49.978 --> 00:00:51.548
Three onions? How many cans
of tomatoes you put in there?
00:00:51.715 --> 00:00:54.467
- I put two big cans.
- You don't need three onions.
00:00:54.635 --> 00:00:56.636
Johnny Dio did the meat.
00:00:56.804 --> 00:00:59.389
We had no broiler,
so Johnny did everything in pans.
00:00:59.557 --> 00:01:01.683
It used to smell up the joint
something awful...
00:01:01.851 --> 00:01:04.001
and the hacks used to die,
but he still cooked a great steak.
00:01:04.979 --> 00:01:07.001
- How do you like yours?
- Medium rare.
00:01:08.107 --> 00:01:10.233
Medium rare. An aristocrat.
00:01:10.651 --> 00:01:14.404
You know, when you think
of prison you get pictures in your mind...
