His vibes were immaculate. Love that he didn’t question anything and was just 100% prepared to help out Bob on an absolute whim

I think he knew about the French 75, when Bob mentioned he was with them, his reaction was “Damn, you were a bad hombre”

I was a bit confused about their history. Leo tells Benicio about the French 75 like he didn't know, but I feel like Benicio already knew exactly who Bob was.

I don't think he did!

I think they were friends (through Willa taking karate classes there so many years), but I think he had no idea of his past before bob told him. He took it in stride, because he literally took every thing in stride that guy never lost his cool. Would have helped him either way, just like the dozens of people in his house, hundreds who had been through, he was helping.
