That was probably the best drink of whiskey Ernie ever had, lol. 
Ernie cracked me up. Later in his career with Tony, he became Dr. Phil. After Tony kills his friend Manny, Tony's sister is completely decimated.
Ernie reassures Tony: "She's gonna be fine. Just fine."

We put some pills into her.

02:31:10,604 --> 02:31:12,398
She's gonna be fine. Just fine.
Ernie ended up being a terrible guard. He's standing out in the gardens telling the others to keep their eyes open and is ambushed from behind seconds later.
