One day he catches the attention of gangster Dutch Schultz (Hoffman). Changing his last name to Bathgate, after a local street, he goes to work for Schultz's organization, serving mostly as a gopher for Schultz. Billy is present when Schultz murders his former partner Bo Weinberg (Willis), who Schultz believes betrayed him. Schultz then begins a relationship with Weinberg's beautiful girlfriend, Drew Preston (Kidman). When Schultz faces legal charges in a court in upstate New York and has to stand trial, Billy's loyalties to Schultz are tested when he begins falling in love with the flirtatious Drew.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

The Beard: Drew walks in on her husband in a homosexual tryst but is more concerned with choosing the right outfit to take on a trip, implying their marriage is one of convenience for both of them. | |

Affably Evil | |
| Billy Bathgate / int_537dd8fe | comment |
Affably Evil: Schultz. While he's shown willing to order the murders of his rivals and his unfaithful girlfriend, he successfully charms the New York locals, presenting himself as charming and good natured, and when Billy and him have a falling out and Billy is fired, Schultz's outfit lets him keep the money intended as a bribe for another gangster as a severance package. Goes double for Berman, who becomes something of a grandfather figure to Billy. He's kindly, sweet-natured, and when he realizes Billy is getting in over his head, contrives to have him fired to avoid getting caught up in Schulz's planned gang war. None of that stops him from being the brains behind Schulz's operation and enabling his worst tendencies, and when he realizes Drew is driving a wedge between Schulz and his men he sets her up to get assassinated. | |
