Lil bit of characterization to show Rudy is learnin to fight dirty like Deck and to bring Rudy and Deck closer together I don’t think Rudy and Deck are super close buds in the book, Rudy likes him but they’re not close buds like this. Movie has gotta bring them together cause Hollywood. It’s the “you got chocolate in my peanut butter…and you got peanut butter in my chocolate!” routine.
