Do you think Teddy decided to rob the banker ..


.. because the banker forced him to get *beep* from behind?

reply

No, he didn't force him to do anything, Teddy wasn't the sort to do anything he didn't want to do.

The banker was in on the robbery - he helped Teddy and his gang in return for a share. The sauna sweaty action was their way of sealing the deal. Teddy asked "Men or women?" and the banker answers "Oh definitely" and then they get to it. Teddy later kills him to ensure his silence and to show gal he is a tough guy (also implicating Gal in the crime).

The banker was not in on the robbery.

i agree. everyone keeps saying this but it's obviously not true.

so funny how people add things into the context of a film because it's something they want to believe is there.

I get the impression he knew very well who Teddy was, and that he wanted him to try and rob the bank, or at least think about it. Just to show how confident and dominant he is (Teddy might play into this mindset by letting him dominate him in bed).

There's no reason for him to take a cut, he needs either the money or the risk.
