* {{Jerkass}}: Nicky is an ''ass'' to everyone. Even to his best friend, Mikey, of thirty-some odd years. When they stop by Nicky's mistress' apartment, Nicky has sex with her while Mikey sits on the kitchen wastebasket, looking deeply uncomfortable. Nicky then claims he was "warming her up" for Mikey, but when Mikey tries to kiss her, she bites his lip hard enough to draw blood; he slaps her in retaliation, and she screams at both gangsters to get out. After they leave, Mikey accuses Nicky of taking him there just to show off his own success with women; in the ensuing argument, Mikey asks Nicky to return his father's watch (which Nicky borrowed as part of a "disguise"), and Nicky hurls it to the ground, smashing it to bits.
