Goodfella 

Somebody who knows how to make garlic disappear. If you're not Sicilian, why would Ray Liotta share with you a way to make garlic disappear for free (or for the cost to buy/rent a DVD or video)?
Dupree- I got the garlic roasting technique I used on dinner tonight from the movie Goodfellas, but the garlic didn't liquify like Ray Liotta said it would.

Dupree's company- Dupree, it wasn't because you didn't follow Ray Liotta's instructions right, it's because you're not a Goodfella, you're not one of them. Try not to be so Sicilian next time you cook, you're not Sicilian Dupree.
