George and Slim may not have been portrayed as good friends in the book but Slim was always there for George when George needed someone to talk to. George really trusted Slim because he told him about the incident in weed. And out of everyone Slim was the only one who recognized what George had gone through in shooting Lennie. Out of all the characters in the book Slim treated George the best, Slim was the one who had backed them up when Lennie broke Curly's hand otherwise George and Lennie would be gone. Or backed him up when the boss started asking questions about George and Lennie. Slim was probably the most respected characters in the book and it really came out that he was a good guy when he asked George if he wanted a drink right after George kill Lennie. This shows character because Slim knew what was going on in Georges head so he offered him a drink to take his mind off of Lennie.
