To be "hasty" in doing something means to do something too "quickly" or too "speedily". Bruno is asking Icarus to remain calm in dealing with Bob's case. He says this because he wants to use the pinball machine Bob has in his office. "Hasty" means "fast" or "speedy", however the complete idiom "Let's not be too hasty" is an encouragement for moderation or calm.
To be "cruel" to someone means to be "nasty" or "mean". The term does not share a similar meaning with "hasty". Example: My cruel stepfather made me clean all day and eat cat food for dinner.
To be "greedy" means to want or desire more than what is reasonable. Bruno is not asking Icarus to be less greedy, but to be more patient in his judgment of Bob.
To be "aggressive" is to "behave in a hostile, enthusiastic or energetic manner. The term does not share a similar meaning with being 'hasty".
