Movie name: goodfellas

 character: Henry Hill

monologe text: As far back as I can remember, I always wanted to be a gangster. Being a gangster was better than being President of the United States. It meant respect, money, power — everything you could ever want. I was part of something bigger, a brotherhood where rules were made and broken in the same breath. You didn’t wait in line. You didn’t ask permission. You took what you wanted. But the thing about that life — you never see the end coming. One minute, you’re on top, untouchable. The next, you’re a rat, running for your life. That’s the price of being a Goodfella.
