Likewise, Nicky said that Carmine left because Nicky wanted to give them a polite way to leave the casino (even though Nicky knew that they knew he was making up his story that he just saw Carmine leave).Īll of the talk about Carmine was simply a masquerade designed to allow the conversation to take place civilly, as opposed to, say, Nicky threatening them, and as opposed to them admitting that they were there to rob the casino. They just said they were waiting for Carmine as a polite way superficially to justify their presence at the casino (even though they knew that Nicky wouldn't believe them).

They had never intended to meet Carmine there. They definitely didn't believe Nicky about Carmine leaving, because they didn't expect that Carmine was ever there in the first place. Because they knew that if they didn't leave, then Nicky was going to punish them brutally.Ĥ. Therefore, after Nicky told them that he is protecting the casino, that caused them to abandon their plan to rob it, and so they decided to leave. Yes, they definitely recognized Nicky as a mafioso, and that made them become scared (because Nicky's reputation for brutality also proceeded him). In other words, the casino visitors' reputations proceeded them.ģ.

All three men were obviously known to each other before Nicky approached them. Nicky knew they would rob the casino because Nicky is part of the criminal underworld, and so are those guys. The film doesn't say for sure if Carmine really exists or not, because that point is not important to the film's story.Ģ. There is no way to determine for sure which one of those possibilities is true, because the film does not provide enough information to make that determination. Carmine is either a fictional made up person, or a well-known gambler with underworld connections who exists in the film's story (this is still possible even though Carmine is never shown). But to give some more depth in answer to your questions:ġ. The guy timppu quoted has the right idea.

I haven't watched the film in many years, but going by the clip that timppu posted, I can infer the answers to your questions.
