    To be fair Nucky actually gave him pretty decent advice. Obviously they’re gangsters so they only truly understand force and power and men believing where power lies. But Nucky basically told Lucky, “Torrio already had me pretty much sold, if you didn’t rush this I would’ve sold to whatever you needed.”

      What I’ve learned from reading the comments is that both forms are absolutely viable, it just depends on who you’re dealing with. In this particular scene and with nucky in general, you gotta kiss a little ass and do some small talk. If I had to guess Torrio is a bit easier to deal with and talk to you can probably just cut straight to the chase with him.

    'Small talk' is part of human interactions and it is very important. It seems futile on the surface, but it helps create bond by sharing emotions, discovering common interests and, as said in other comments, it shows respect. It tells "you know I come here for a reason but I want to make a point to make you feel that you are more important than this business matter". Of course, it is a little dance, no one is foolish, but everyone is receptive to some attention (or even flattery) provided it is done the right way, even by your worst enemy.
