Visible crew/equipment: During the scene when Robert De Niro meets Billy Crystal in his office, there is a flash of what I assume is the cameraman's finger over the frame. I believe it's right after Billy says, "So sorry."

Question: When Nicky Shivers is being held hostage, De Niro is about to belt him in the face with a metal pipe and make him fall into a hole. This most likely would have been fatal. But De Niro has a change of heart and walks away. Then Nicky sardonically comments "Well geez, that was pretty painless." Given that he was just spared from a painful ending, why would he make such a smart-alec comment?
