Pesci and Batts had some words, and then decided to forget about it and have a drink. Batts then insults Pesci again. DeNiro saw this and knew that he had to help out his friend. Pesci was a psychotic guy throughout most of the movie, but I think he reacted, in the right way to Batts disrespect. The way DeNiro kicks Batts is hilarious, I cry, I laugh so hard, every time I see it.[/b]
Yes, I do know why Jimmy helped Tommy. It's just that I thought Jimmy was much smarter than Tommy and wouldn't touch a "made man."
Exactly, I laugh so hard when I see De Niro kicking Batts. Classic!
