Jack Nicholson's Departed Penis

I just watched "The Departed" again, and there's a scene in which Jack has a clandestine meeting with Mat Damon in a porn theater. He's apparently* jerking off, and then he turns and faces Damon, flashing a rather large penis. It's never really established *why he does this, whether it's supposed to be real wang, or a fake one, and in fact whether or not it might be black (not that there's anything wrong with that but Jack isn't black) ... does anyone have a clue what that is all about? Maybe you have a copy of the script and can enlighten?

Yeah, I think it was intended as a dominance gesture, albeit a rather unsubtle one. I thought Nicholson's character, overall, was way too colorful and outrageous, and his
