Litmus: What's your name kid?
Charley Butts: Charley Butts.
Litmus: Charley's Butt? Hahahah, you got a pretty friggin' funny name kid.
Charley Butts: Oh yeah? What's yours?
Litmus: Al Capone.

Was Litmus Al Capone, if not why say he was?

No Litmus was being sarcastic, this movie takes place between 1960 and 1962 and the real Al Capone died in 1947.
