Tommy

Tommy is Turkish's friend and business partner. He claims to have been named after a gun, but Turkish knows he is, in fact, named after a famous nineteenth century ballet dancer.

Tommy plays a prominent part in a number of pivotal moments:


 * He buys a dog from Mickey, which escapes before he leaves the camp.
 * He agrees to allow Mickey to fight Gorgeous George, which ends disastrously, setting in motion the the chain of events culminating in the annihilation of Brick Top and his gang by Mickey and his family.
 * He arrives at the slot machine shop just as Turkish is being threatened by Errol and his henchmen and manages to scare them off with the (non-functioning) gun he bought from Boris.
 * He lectures Turkish on the health risks posed by drinking milk, which prompts Turkish to throw the milk carton from the car. The carton explodes on Tony's windscreen causing him to crash, killing Rosebud and allowing Boris to escape.
