* Tom needles Caspar so much about the potential for The Dane's treachery that he explodes in anger. Tom studies him dispassionately for a moment then places his hand on his shoulder, seemingly provoking him to even greater rage. Then:
--> ''"Johnny, my chin's hanging out there right alongside yours. I'd worry a lot less if I thought you were worrying enough"
Calming Caspar down in a moment.

* Tom is so well liked and respected in the criminal underworld that both Leo and Caspar offer to square Tom's debts with Lazarre, a bookie who almost sounds like a boogieman even to crime lords. What makes it awesome is that when Lazarre's henchmen come to collect, they *apologize* to Tom as they beat the daylights out of him not because they're afraid of the repercussions, but because they don't want to hurt him.
