Eugene begins helping a nurse named Jennifer Curtis, who is working at the same hospital where he is, to study for her exams. He begins to develop feelings for her as the movie progresses. Nicky mentions this to Larry while they are working and Larry does not miss the opportunity to plant the idea in Nickys head that Jennifer and Eugene are sleeping together and may marry and abandon Nicky. Although Jennifer came from a more affluent family and neighborhood, she is charmed at the brothers relationship and humble surroundings. Nicky is briefly shown praying in a church and speaking to the priest. One day, a drug dealer pays an innocent Nicky ten dollars to deliver a dose of an illegal drug, wrapped in a newspaper, to a drug user in a rough neighborhood. Nicky innocently forgets the delivery, and later tells his brother, who worries that Nicky can be so naive and gullible.On the night of his and Nickys birthday, Eugene must work late at the hospital and calls a very disappointed Nicky to tell him. Nicky starts to take Larry to a Wrestlemania event he and Eugene were going to see, but Larry instead takes Nicky with him to visit a woman called Mrs. Vincent, whom Larry is occasionally intimate with. Nicky does not engage in sexual intercourse with the friendly Mrs. Vincent and instead goes outside as Larry has fun with her inside. Nicky is surprised to find a young boy named Mikey Chernak, who is Mrs. Vincents next door neighbour and someone Nicky knows from his garbage route, outside with bruises on his face. When Nicky asks where the bruises are from, Mikey replies he fell. Nicky does not understand that Mikeys father Martin David Strathairn abuses him and assumes Mikey is telling the truth. ........
