GUNMAN: Gondorff asked me to look after ya.
At the end of the movie, Johnny is shocked when a strange gunman puts a bullet in the head of Loretta, the waitress Johnny has just slept with. But as we find out in the ensuing conversation, the gunman has been hired by Henry Gondorff to take care of Johnny. Henry, you see, knows that Johnny has been too proud to admit the trouble he's in. So Henry took the initiative and hired a guy to look after Johnny without his knowing. Now that's friendship. (Cue the sentimental music.)
