Facing Nucky and facing Ponzi invokes two completely different mindsets.
When facing Ponzi, Donnie is in the position of being deceived, all he has to do is maintain his own state.
But facing Nucky is different, Donnie needs to be fully alert.
"Who in the whole Atlantic City doesn't know that you, Nucky, have the final say in becoming the owner of The Fuli Tavern!"
Donnie didn't take Nucky's sarcasm to heart.
Nucky laughed out loud, "Is that so? How come I don't know about this?"
Although Nucky was mocking Donnie, he understood that Donnie's presence here at this moment surely meant he had something to discuss with him alone.
Actually, Nucky himself had something to discuss with Donnie in private; his previous delays in meeting with Donnie were merely to make Donnie more anxious.
So, soon, Donnie and Nucky found themselves in a secluded corner within Ponzi's estate.
"Let me guess, has David Jabbar already become fertilizer on a farm in Elwood Village?"
