I say definitely. Guy was too useful to *beep* out of money. And there other top assasin enforcer dillon had died

As you, I'm sure he got paid. He's not the guy you want to stiff out of a few dollars.

He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians. Guy was an interior decorator.

Except he was never promised more than 10. Jackie was actually in the wrong. Why would expect the 15 Mickey was going to get, especially since he ended up being a problem (when he didn't need to be there to begin with) that cost 1000 dollars to do nothing?

That part was odd to me. Jackie was a pro but he acted surprised to get exactly his fee even after prolonging something needlessly. It would've made more sense if they took the 1000 out of his cut (29 total) and he got pissed about that.

No they agree to 15 in car for mickey. jackies fee for trapman and the others wasnt talked about in that scene. Jackie ended up doing Mickeys hit on the squirell so he deserves the 15 k. and 30 k for other hits. would of been sixty k if he had got the other Dope

Jackie or the others didnt know that mickey had lost the plot. So i dont see how Jackie is at fault

Which is what I said. They agreed to 15 for Mickey. They did not agree to 15 for Jackie. Jackie was hired to do the Johnny Amato hit and the 2 thieves. Jackie then said he needed Mickey for Amato so that was an expense he requested which is where the 'killing them softly' conversation took place. He then ended up doing it anyway proving that Mickey wasn't actually needed in the first place.

At no point during all of that was it discussed that Jackie gets Mickeys fee which was never required to begin with. Jackie asked for Mickey, said Mickey would do it for 15, not "Hey if I do this I need 15". The price was always for Mickey. And like I mentioned he cost them 1,000 do nothing. Doesn't matter if Jackie didn't know because Jackie requested someone that was never needed to begin with. That was on him because he vouched for Mickey and was useless. Why on Earth would they pay him an extra 5,000 for wasting their time?
