01:04:06,597 --> 01:04:10,726
<i>He had politicians, showgirls</i>
<i>and movie stars hanging out all over.</i>

1129
01:04:11,101 --> 01:04:13,395
That show at The Flamingo
gets better and better.

1130
01:04:13,478 --> 01:04:17,065
By the way, Sammy said whenever
you have a minute, give him a call.

1131
01:04:17,149 --> 01:04:19,943
- Made you a messenger, too?
- I'll do anything for a buck.

1132
01:04:20,027 --> 01:04:23,238
- He does it to everybody. Enjoy your dinner.
- Thanks.

1133
01:04:23,322 --> 01:04:27,075
SAM: <i>I got to tell you, the thing Nicky</i>
<i>liked most was the showgirls.</i>

1134
01:04:27,201 --> 01:04:29,328
<i>To them, Nicky was the movie star.</i>

1135
01:04:29,411 --> 01:04:32,247
- You walk past me?
- This is Shelly.

1136
01:04:32,331 --> 01:04:34,333
- Hi, Shelly. How are you?
- Hi.

1137
01:04:34,416 --> 01:04:35,918
This is Stacy.

1138
01:04:36,168 --> 01:04:39,254
- This is Nick. Wanna have dinner? Come on.
- All right.

1139
01:04:39,338 --> 01:04:42,007
Let's check the kitchen first.
Excuse us one second.

1140
01:04:42,090 --> 01:04:45,469
NICKY: Come on, I'll show you.
I fly stuff in fresh every day.

1141
01:04:45,594 --> 01:04:48,889
I get bread from back home.
I get fish from California.

1142
01:04:48,972 --> 01:04:52,809
You can always tell a great kitchen
like ours because of the milk-fed veal.

1143
01:04:52,851 --> 01:04:55,854
That's the secret.
See, milk-fed veal is pure white.

1144
01:04:55,938 --> 01:04:59,441
Out here, they got that pink veal.
Slide over, honey.

1145
01:05:00,025 --> 01:05:03,278
Now, pink veal you can pound for two days.

1146
01:05:03,403 --> 01:05:06,782
NICKY: Lt'll never ever get tender.
You know what I mean?

1147
01:05:06,949 --> 01:05:09,952
AL: I left here with the money.
Got muscled on the street.

1148
01:05:10,035 --> 01:05:13,288
A couple guys, I owe them.
So I gave them the money.

1149
01:05:13,413 --> 01:05:15,457
- That's what I did.
- Yeah?

1150
01:05:15,791 --> 01:05:17,626
You call yourself a man?

1151
01:05:17,709 --> 01:05:22,089
You know you're a lying lowlife,
motherfucking gambling degenerate prick?

1152
01:05:22,172 --> 01:05:24,842
You know that's what you are?
Two small kids at home.

1153
01:05:24,925 --> 01:05:27,135
I gave you money to pay the fucking rent...

1154
01:05:27,219 --> 01:05:29,263
and buy groceries, put the heat on.

1155
01:05:29,346 --> 01:05:32,808
You know your wife called Frankie
and told him the fucking heat's off?

1156
01:05:32,891 --> 01:05:35,352
You didn't gamble that money?
Can you tell me that?

1157
01:05:35,435 --> 01:05:37,020
- No, you didn't?
- I didn't.

1158
01:05:37,104 --> 01:05:40,649
Don't fuck with me, Al!
Don't make a fuck out of me.

1159
01:05:40,732 --> 01:05:44,069
You wanna make a fool out of me?
You didn't gamble?

1160
01:05:44,152 --> 01:05:48,824
Tell me you gambled the money and
I'll give you the money to put the heat on!

1161
01:05:48,949 --> 01:05:50,576
Did you gamble?

1162
01:05:54,872 --> 01:05:56,957
Fucking degenerate, you.

1163
01:05:57,416 --> 01:05:59,293
Fucking kids at home.

1164
01:06:02,629 --> 01:06:05,007
Here. Get the fuck out of here.

1165
01:06:05,507 --> 01:06:07,217
AL: Thanks, Nick.
NICKY: Yeah, thanks.

1166
01:06:07,301 --> 01:06:10,512
If I find out you fucked up,
I'll leave you where I find you.

1167
01:06:11,013 --> 01:06:13,682
NICKY: How many of these you gonna eat?
NICKY JR: Two.

1168
01:06:14,391 --> 01:06:17,352
SAM: <i>At around 6:30 a.m.,</i>
<i>when he finished his day...</i>

1169
01:06:17,477 --> 01:06:19,563
<i>no matter where he was</i>
<i>or what he was doing...</i>

1170
01:06:19,646 --> 01:06:23,025
<i>he always went home to make breakfast</i>
<i>for his son, Nicky boy.</i>

1171
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:25,194
NICKY: I know you like this.

1172
01:06:25,277 --> 01:06:28,697
NICKY: A little butter, right?
Not a lot. You know why, right?

1173
01:06:29,198 --> 01:06:32,117
NICKY: Why?
NICKY JR: 'Cause it clogs up your heart.

1174
01:06:32,201 --> 01:06:34,286
What a smart kid you are.

1175
01:06:35,204 --> 01:06:36,371
NICKY: Okay, eat.

1176
01:06:36,455 --> 01:06:39,416
NICKY: <i>Every couple of weeks,</i>
<i>I sent Marino back to the bosses...</i>

1177
01:06:39,499 --> 01:06:43,504
BACK HOME
<i>with a piece of what I made.</i>
<i>Not a big piece, but what did they know?</i>

1178
01:06:43,629 --> 01:06:47,674
<i>They were 1,500 miles away, and I don't</i>
<i>know anybody who can see that far.</i>

1179
01:06:47,758 --> 01:06:49,635
<i>Their drop was a truck stop garage...</i>

1180
01:06:49,718 --> 01:06:53,305
<i>where Remo and the guys</i>
<i>used to hang out and count their millions.</i>

1181
01:06:53,722 --> 01:06:56,975
<i>The cops knew, but they didn't give a fuck.</i>
<i>They worked it out.</i>

1182
01:06:57,059 --> 01:06:58,977
Nicky sends his warmest regards.

1183
01:06:59,061 --> 01:07:00,979
NICKY: <i>I knew how to keep</i>
<i>the bosses happy.</i>

1184
01:07:01,063 --> 01:07:04,483
<i>Whenever they gave me little jobs to do,</i>
<i>you know, to send a message...</i>

1185
01:07:04,566 --> 01:07:08,028
<i>I would carry things out to a "T."</i>

1186
01:07:08,320 --> 01:07:12,449
<i>Like the time Tony Dogs, who was supposed</i>
<i>to be the new maniac tough guy in town...</i>

1187
01:07:12,533 --> 01:07:14,701
<i>shot up one of Remo's bars.</i>

1188
01:07:19,206 --> 01:07:22,042
<i>Here's a fucking guy</i>
<i>who kills two of Remo's guys...</i>

1189
01:07:22,125 --> 01:07:26,380
<i>and a poor fucking waitress</i>
<i>who was just working on her night off.</i>

1190
01:07:29,007 --> 01:07:32,261
<i>This guy's just begging</i>
<i>to be made an example of.</i>

1191
01:07:32,511 --> 01:07:35,931
I want the names of all the other people
he had with him.

1192
01:07:36,014 --> 01:07:39,685
I don't care what you have to do to them
to get them. You understand?

1193
01:07:39,768 --> 01:07:41,603
FRANK: I'll take care of it.

1194
01:07:41,937 --> 01:07:45,190
NICKY: <i>To be truthful with you,</i>
<i>I had to admire this fucking guy.</i>

1195
01:07:45,274 --> 01:07:48,068
<i>He was one of the toughest</i>
<i>Irishmen I ever met.</i>

1196
01:07:48,151 --> 01:07:50,445
<i>This son of a bitch was tough.</i>

1197
01:07:50,737 --> 01:07:53,949
<i>For two days and two nights,</i>
<i>we beat the shit out of him.</i>

1198
01:07:54,032 --> 01:07:56,159
<i>We even stuck ice picks in his balls.</i>

1199
01:07:56,243 --> 01:07:59,246
NICKY: Hope he gives me a name,
or I'll give him yours, Frank.

1200
01:07:59,329 --> 01:08:00,414
FRANK: Thanks a lot.

1201
01:08:00,497 --> 01:08:01,582
NICKY: <i>But he never talked.</i>

1202
01:08:01,665 --> 01:08:03,625
NICKY: I know you would've ratted by now.

1203
01:08:03,709 --> 01:08:06,962
NICKY: <i>In the end,</i>
<i>I had to put his fucking head in a vice.</i>

1204
01:08:07,337 --> 01:08:08,964
NICKY: Can you hear me?

1205
01:08:09,256 --> 01:08:12,176
Listen to me. I got your head in a vice.

1206
01:08:12,259 --> 01:08:16,388
I'll squash your head like a grapefruit
if you don't give me a name.

1207
01:08:16,471 --> 01:08:18,849
NICKY: Don't make me do this.
Please, come on.

1208
01:08:18,932 --> 01:08:21,101
Don't make me be a bad guy.

1209
01:08:22,811 --> 01:08:24,146
Fuck you.

1210
01:08:24,229 --> 01:08:27,357
Motherfucker. You believe this?
Two fucking days and nights.

1211
01:08:27,441 --> 01:08:30,444
Fuck me? You motherfucker!

1212
01:08:30,527 --> 01:08:33,238
Fuck my mother?
Is that what you're telling me?

1213
01:08:33,322 --> 01:08:34,990
You motherfucker!

1214
01:08:36,783 --> 01:08:39,494
<i>Oh, God. Give me the fucking name!</i>

1215
01:08:39,578 --> 01:08:40,954
Charlie M.

1216
01:08:41,747 --> 01:08:43,624
- Charlie M.
- Charlie M?

1217
01:08:43,916 --> 01:08:46,627
You make me pop your eye out your head...

1218
01:08:46,710 --> 01:08:49,004
to protect that piece of shit?

1219
01:08:49,713 --> 01:08:51,590
You dumb motherfucker!

1220
01:08:51,673 --> 01:08:53,425
Kill me, you fuck!

1221
01:08:54,009 --> 01:08:55,677
You motherfucker!

1222
01:08:56,178 --> 01:08:58,472
Frankie, do him a fucking favor.

1223
01:08:58,847 --> 01:09:01,266
SAM: <i>Word got around that finally...</i>

1224
01:09:01,350 --> 01:09:03,852
<i>there was a real gangster in town.</i>

1225
01:09:04,353 --> 01:09:06,980
<i>Nicky was the new boss of Las Vegas.</i>

1226
01:09:07,064 --> 01:09:08,398
NICKY: Charlie M.

1227
01:09:10,484 --> 01:09:12,945
[Coins clinking]

1228
01:09:13,028 --> 01:09:16,365
SAM: Four reels, sevens across.
Three $15,000 jackpots.

1229
01:09:16,448 --> 01:09:18,408
You have any idea what the odds are?

1230
01:09:18,450 --> 01:09:20,744
It's gotta be in the millions. Maybe more.

1231
01:09:20,827 --> 01:09:22,079
Three jackpots in 20 minutes?

1232
01:09:22,162 --> 01:09:24,915
Why didn't you pull the machines?
Why didn't you call me?

1233
01:09:24,998 --> 01:09:27,709
It happened quick. Three guys won.
I didn't have a chance.

1234
01:09:27,793 --> 01:09:29,711
You didn't see the scam?

1235
01:09:29,795 --> 01:09:31,630
There's no way to determine that.

1236
01:09:31,713 --> 01:09:33,757
Yes, there is. An infallible way. They won!

1237
01:09:33,841 --> 01:09:36,552
It's a casino. People gotta win sometimes.

1238
01:09:37,010 --> 01:09:39,972
You're pissing me off.
You're insulting my intelligence.

1239
01:09:40,055 --> 01:09:41,223
You think I'm an idiot?

1240
01:09:41,306 --> 01:09:44,685
Somebody had to get into those machines
and set the reels.

1241
01:09:44,768 --> 01:09:47,688
The probability on one machine
is a million and a half to one.

1242
01:09:47,771 --> 01:09:50,983
On three machines in a row,
it's in the billions. It can't happen.

1243
01:09:51,066 --> 01:09:52,776
SAM: What's the matter with you?

1244
01:09:52,860 --> 01:09:56,154
Didn't you see you were being set up
on the second win?

1245
01:09:56,238 --> 01:09:59,533
- You didn't see that?
- I think you're overreacting.

1246
01:09:59,616 --> 01:10:01,493
Listen, you yokel, I've had it with you.

1247
01:10:01,577 --> 01:10:03,662
I've carried your ass ever since I got here.

1248
01:10:03,745 --> 01:10:05,664
Get your things and get out of here.

1249
01:10:05,747 --> 01:10:09,209
- You're firing me?
- I'm firing you.

1250
01:10:09,376 --> 01:10:12,212
- You might regret this.
- I'll regret it if I keep you.

1251
01:10:12,296 --> 01:10:15,966
- This is not the way to treat people.
- If you didn't know about the scam...

1252
01:10:16,049 --> 01:10:18,969
you're too dumb to work here.
If you did, you were in on it.

1253
01:10:19,052 --> 01:10:21,054
Either way, you're out. Go on.

1254
01:10:23,056 --> 01:10:25,601
The guy is history as far as I'm concerned.

1255
01:10:25,726 --> 01:10:28,729
You can't fire him.
His brother-in-law is County Commissioner.

1256
01:10:28,812 --> 01:10:32,774
Everyone out here with cowboy boots
is a commissioner or related to one.

1257
01:10:32,900 --> 01:10:34,318
I'm sick of this.

1258
01:10:34,401 --> 01:10:36,570
This is his state. His uncle's Chief Judge.

1259
01:10:36,653 --> 01:10:39,031
His brother-in-law runs
the County Commission.

1260
01:10:39,114 --> 01:10:41,116
There's gotta be a way to work him back in.

1261
01:10:41,200 --> 01:10:45,204
You're in the finances, upstairs.
You don't see what's going on.

1262
01:10:45,287 --> 01:10:48,165
I've got thousands of players.
I got 500 dealers.

1263
01:10:48,248 --> 01:10:51,001
They're all looking to rob me blind
24 hours a day.

1264
01:10:51,084 --> 01:10:54,338
I have to let them know I'm watching
all the details all the time.

1265
01:10:54,421 --> 01:10:57,341
That there is not one single thing
I will not catch.

1266
01:10:58,675 --> 01:11:00,969
SAM: Look at yours. Look at that.

1267
01:11:01,595 --> 01:11:03,680
SAM: Look at this. There's nothing.

1268
01:11:03,764 --> 01:11:05,766
Look how many blueberries your muffin has.

1269
01:11:05,849 --> 01:11:08,560
- I have nothing.
- What are you talking about?

1270
01:11:08,644 --> 01:11:11,438
If you don't do it yourself,
it never gets done.

1271
01:11:11,605 --> 01:11:13,440
PHILIP: Where are you going?

1272
01:11:14,733 --> 01:11:19,071
SAM: From now on, I want you to put an
equal amount of blueberries in each muffin.

1273
01:11:19,154 --> 01:11:22,282
An equal amount of blueberries
in each muffin.

1274
01:11:23,283 --> 01:11:25,035
Do you know how long that will take?

1275
01:11:25,118 --> 01:11:28,956
I don't care how long it takes.
Put an equal amount in each muffin.

1276
01:11:33,043 --> 01:11:35,462
Just a little. That a girl.

1277
01:11:38,131 --> 01:11:40,384
SAM: Wanna go to Mommy?
GINGER: Wanna come to Mommy?

1278
01:11:40,467 --> 01:11:42,261
It's all right, sweetheart.

1279
01:11:42,344 --> 01:11:45,472
GINGER: I need to talk to you.
I need some money.

1280
01:11:47,391 --> 01:11:49,518
- What do you need?
- Got her?

1281
01:11:51,270 --> 01:11:53,647
I need a lot. I need more than usual.

1282
01:11:53,730 --> 01:11:56,024
Why don't you take it out of your account?

1283
01:11:56,108 --> 01:11:58,694
I would, it's just that...

1284
01:11:59,987 --> 01:12:02,781
I need more than that. I need $25,000.

1285
01:12:03,574 --> 01:12:05,033
$25,000?

1286
01:12:06,285 --> 01:12:08,120
- For yourself?
- Yeah.

1287
01:12:08,787 --> 01:12:10,873
SAM: Why do you need that much?

1288
01:12:11,081 --> 01:12:13,375
What's the difference? I just need it.

1289
01:12:13,792 --> 01:12:17,337
I gotta ask you. That's a lot of money.
It's not a box of popcorn.

1290
01:12:17,421 --> 01:12:19,882
We don't have to turn this into a big deal.

1291
01:12:20,007 --> 01:12:22,301
We don't have to have a fight.

1292
01:12:22,384 --> 01:12:26,054
GINGER: It was important to me. Forget it.
Something I wanted to do.

1293
01:12:26,346 --> 01:12:29,474
Who's fighting? Tell me what it's for.

1294
01:12:32,144 --> 01:12:34,855
Why can't you tell me what it's for?

1295
01:12:39,234 --> 01:12:41,236
Now I want you to tell me.

1296
01:12:41,361 --> 01:12:45,199
My wife comes to me and asks me
for $25,000. Do you want a coat?

1297
01:12:45,282 --> 01:12:47,701
GINGER: No.
SAM: If you want a coat, you got it.

1298
01:12:47,784 --> 01:12:50,454
It's not the money.
It's just, why do you want it?

1299
01:12:50,537 --> 01:12:52,289
Am I not entitled to ask that?

1300
01:12:52,372 --> 01:12:55,959
I've been independent all my life.
I never had to ask anybody for anything.

1301
01:12:56,043 --> 01:12:58,462
Now you're making me beg you for this.

1302
01:12:58,545 --> 01:13:01,465
- What are you talking about?
- Okay? And you're embarrassing me.

1303
01:13:01,548 --> 01:13:02,633
Why make me feel so bad?

1304
01:13:02,716 --> 01:13:04,259
SAM: You're asking me for $25,000.

1305
01:13:04,343 --> 01:13:08,222
I'm not out to make you feel bad.
I want to just be able to trust you.

1306
01:13:08,305 --> 01:13:10,015
It's about trust.

1307
01:13:11,058 --> 01:13:13,477
I have to be able to trust you with my life.

1308
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:14,978
Do you understand?

1309
01:13:16,313 --> 01:13:17,940
Can I trust you?

1310
01:13:21,818 --> 01:13:23,153
Can I trust you?

1311
01:13:25,447 --> 01:13:27,699
Can I trust you? Answer me.

1312
01:13:30,452 --> 01:13:31,578
You can trust me.

1313
01:13:31,662 --> 01:13:35,123
Good. So then you can tell me
what the money is for.

1315

She's leaving the bank now.

1316
01:13:59,189 --> 01:14:00,816
I'll follow her.

01:14:05,863 --> 01:14:07,948
GINGER: It means I got the money.

1320
01:14:26,675 --> 01:14:29,303
How are you doing? It's Lester, right?

1321
01:14:30,554 --> 01:14:31,680
Sam.

1322
01:14:36,977 --> 01:14:40,314
From my recollection,
aren't you the card shark...

1323
01:14:40,939 --> 01:14:44,026
the golf hustler,
the pimp from Beverly Hills?

1324
01:14:46,570 --> 01:14:48,113
SAM: If I'm wrong, correct me.

1325
01:14:48,197 --> 01:14:50,782
I never knew you to be a heist man.

1326
01:14:50,908 --> 01:14:53,202
But if you are, you know what?

1327
01:14:53,785 --> 01:14:55,621
Here, take mine, too.

1328
01:14:56,121 --> 01:14:58,498
Take it. You already have hers.

1329
01:14:59,708 --> 01:15:01,210
<i>She's my wife.</i>

1330
01:15:02,085 --> 01:15:03,170
SAM: Look at me.

1331
01:15:03,253 --> 01:15:06,673
You did know that, didn't you?
You knew she's my wife?

1332
01:15:07,257 --> 01:15:09,801
SAM: Look at me.
LESTER: I know that.

1333
01:15:09,885 --> 01:15:11,386
SAM: You do, yeah?

1334
01:15:14,223 --> 01:15:16,558
If you ever come back again...

1335
01:15:17,351 --> 01:15:20,145
to take her money, next time bring a pistol.

1336
01:15:20,229 --> 01:15:22,064
That way you got a chance.

1337
01:15:22,105 --> 01:15:24,399
Be a man, don't be a fucking pimp.

1338
01:15:25,609 --> 01:15:28,654
Now, you want to do me a favor?
Get out of here.

1339
01:15:29,321 --> 01:15:33,575
I wanna be alone with my wife.
Get the fuck up and get out of here.

SAM: Fucking piece of shit.

1341
01:15:51,969 --> 01:15:55,305
Remember when you called him that night
and said goodbye to him?

1342
01:15:55,389 --> 01:15:58,225
He didn't say, "Don't get married.
I'll be right down."

1343
01:15:58,308 --> 01:16:00,435
- He didn't say that, did he?
- No, he didn't.

1344
01:16:00,519 --> 01:16:02,187
What did he say?

1345
01:16:05,315 --> 01:16:08,360
"Fuck him.
Take him for everything he's got."

1346
01:16:09,069 --> 01:16:11,488

He's such a prick.

1356
01:17:05,250 --> 01:17:08,253
He had some guy from the hotel
beat him up.

1357
01:17:08,337 --> 01:17:10,631
He didn't want to do it himself.

1358
01:17:10,714 --> 01:17:13,467
He didn't want to get his own hands dirty.

1359
01:17:15,469 --> 01:17:17,513
Why did he have to do that?

1360
01:17:17,596 --> 01:17:18,847
Tell me.

GINGER: No shit.

1362

You gotta understand it. He doesn't know
if this guy is shaking you down.

1363
01:17:28,607 --> 01:17:31,485
I told him all about this guy
before we got married.

1364
01:17:31,568 --> 01:17:35,155
- This is no fucking surprise.
- You did? I didn't know that.

1365
01:17:35,239 --> 01:17:38,492
He's just a friend of mine
I was trying to help. So what?

1366
01:17:40,327 --> 01:17:43,539
The first time I ever saw you guys together...

1367
01:17:43,664 --> 01:17:45,707
I never saw him so happy.

1368
01:17:46,083 --> 01:17:49,211
NICKY: I know he's a crazy Jew fuck
and everything...

1369
01:17:49,336 --> 01:17:52,840
but I never seen him act like that
with anybody else.

1370
01:17:53,757 --> 01:17:56,885
I think he's crazy about you.
He really loves you.

1371
01:17:57,010 --> 01:17:58,804
NICKY: He does.
GINGER: Come on.

1372
01:17:58,887 --> 01:18:01,014
I went into this with my eyes open.

GINGER: I knew the bottom
could drop out any time.

1374
01:18:03,433 --> 01:18:07,271
I'm a working girl. You don't think
I'm gonna go into a situation like this...

1375
01:18:07,354 --> 01:18:09,648
if I don't think I'm covered on the back end?

1376
01:18:09,731 --> 01:18:11,567
Sure, I can see that.

1377
01:18:12,860 --> 01:18:16,488
So he put aside some jewelry for me.
A lot of jewelry.

1378
01:18:16,572 --> 01:18:19,449
A lot of expensive jewelry?
About how much?

1379
01:18:19,825 --> 01:18:21,660
You want to steal it?

1380
01:18:21,743 --> 01:18:25,414
No. I'm just curious. I was wondering...

1381
01:18:25,873 --> 01:18:28,333
how much he would put
into a thing like that.

1382
01:18:28,417 --> 01:18:31,295
I'm told it's worth about $1 million,
maybe more.

1383
01:18:31,378 --> 01:18:33,797
NICKY: There you go.
What does that tell you?

1384
01:18:33,881 --> 01:18:35,799
$1 million in jewelry.

1385
01:18:36,049 --> 01:18:38,302
Does that tell you he is crazy about you?

1386
01:18:38,385 --> 01:18:40,429
I should have never married him.

1387
01:18:40,929 --> 01:18:44,099
He's a Gemini. Triple Gemini. Duality.

1388
01:18:45,225 --> 01:18:48,729
Gemini is the snake, you know.
You can't trust a snake.

1389
01:18:50,314 --> 01:18:51,690
I mean it.

1390
01:18:51,773 --> 01:18:54,401
I know what you mean. Listen, Ginger.

1391
01:18:55,444 --> 01:18:59,072
This is probably not...
I don't have the answers anyway.

1392
01:18:59,281 --> 01:19:01,491
- This is probably not what you want to hear.
- I do.

1393
01:19:01,575 --> 01:19:04,286
You're a little upset, and I understand that.

1394
01:19:05,412 --> 01:19:09,708
But try to make the best of it now.
Go slow. See what happens.

1395
01:19:09,791 --> 01:19:11,460
He could've killed him!

1396
01:19:12,711 --> 01:19:15,923
He didn't have to hit him.
I'm not sleeping with the guy.

1397
01:19:16,006 --> 01:19:18,634

to see my own friends.

<i>What the fuck is that all about?</i>

1399
01:19:20,719 --> 01:19:24,389
I guess it's 'cause he loves you so much,
he's jealous and worries.

1400
01:19:24,723 --> 01:19:26,808
Who gives a fuck what I do?

1401
01:19:28,352 --> 01:19:30,687
I'll try to find out what the hell is going on.

1402
01:19:30,771 --> 01:19:33,607
- When I see him, I'll talk to him.
- Okay.

1403
01:19:33,690 --> 01:19:35,400
- All right?
- Yeah.

No, thank you, little lady.

01:20:46,597 --> 01:20:48,932
Send him in and call me four minutes after.

01:20:49,016 --> 01:20:51,727
Mr. Rothstein, I'm Pat Webb.

How do you do?

1421
01:20:53,437 --> 01:20:55,647
- It is a pleasure.
- I heard a lot about you.

All that money is rolling in.

01:21:01,403 --> 01:21:04,615
I appreciate you taking the time
to see a poor old civil servant.

PAT: Thank you, sir.

1426
01:21:07,868 --> 01:21:11,371
PAT: I come here personally
to smooth over...

1427
01:21:11,455 --> 01:21:13,916
any fracas about a certain matter.

1428
01:21:13,999 --> 01:21:15,918
Maybe you didn't know it...

1429
01:21:16,001 --> 01:21:19,379
but Don Ward is a very well-liked man
in this town.

1430
01:21:19,463 --> 01:21:23,675
He's got lots of friends. His family
and their money go back many years.

1431
01:21:23,759 --> 01:21:26,595
Friends vote, family and money votes.

<i>That's important to me and you.</i>

1433
01:21:30,390 --> 01:21:35,020
If you'll think about our little problem
along them lines...

1434
01:21:35,979 --> 01:21:38,190
and you'll forgive me for saying it...

1435
01:21:38,273 --> 01:21:40,901
maybe he did not deserve to be fired.

1436
01:21:41,735 --> 01:21:43,654
He knew about our getting hit...

1437
01:21:43,695 --> 01:21:46,782
on three big machines in a row,
and he did nothing about it.

1438
01:21:46,865 --> 01:21:50,536
Either he was in on it
or, forgive me, he was too dumb to see it.

1439
01:21:50,869 --> 01:21:53,455
Either way, I cannot have
a man like that working here.

1440
01:21:53,539 --> 01:21:56,875
Before we point the dirty end
of the stick at old Don...

1441
01:21:56,959 --> 01:21:59,586
we better be sure
we can prove them charges.

1442
01:21:59,670 --> 01:22:03,090
Believe me, if I could prove it,
he'd be under arrest.

1443
01:22:05,801 --> 01:22:09,596
Are we certain that you want
the Gaming Control Board...

1444
01:22:09,680 --> 01:22:13,100
eyeballing your record
and your gangster pals like Nicky?

1445
01:22:13,225 --> 01:22:15,936
I think you're way out of line
talking to me like that.

1446
01:22:16,019 --> 01:22:20,315
What you're saying is libelous. You're
in no position to challenge my expertise.

1447
01:22:20,482 --> 01:22:23,819
I went way out of my way
to be helpful and courteous to that kid.

1448
01:22:23,902 --> 01:22:27,322
He's weak. He's incompetent.
He jeopardizes the whole place.

1449
01:22:27,406 --> 01:22:29,533
There's not much more I can do for him.

1450
01:22:29,616 --> 01:22:31,535
You have got me there.

1451
01:22:32,452 --> 01:22:35,747
Old Don is as useless as tits on a boar.

[Pat coughs]

1453
01:22:36,999 --> 01:22:39,334
But he is my brother-in-law...

1454
01:22:39,710 --> 01:22:42,421
and I would look on it
as a personal favor...

1455
01:22:42,504 --> 01:22:45,424
if you'd think some more
on hiring him back.

1456
01:22:45,674 --> 01:22:47,342
I can't do that.

1457
01:22:47,801 --> 01:22:50,429
I appreciate the fact
that he's your brother-in-law.

1458
01:22:50,512 --> 01:22:52,931
I do want to help you
and I like to do favors.

1459
01:22:53,015 --> 01:22:56,143
And I know who you are.
But I cannot do that.

1460
01:22:57,519 --> 01:23:00,522
Could there be any position...

1461
01:23:01,565 --> 01:23:03,609
farther down the trough?

1462
01:23:05,903 --> 01:23:07,321
I'm sorry. I can't do anything.

1463
01:23:07,404 --> 01:23:10,741
He's too incompetent.
The bottom line is he cannot be trusted.

That's it. I'm sorry.

Mr. Rothstein,
your people never will understand...

You're all just our guests.

But you act like you're at home.

1471
01:23:32,387 --> 01:23:35,307
Let me tell you something, partner.
You ain't home.

1472
01:23:36,391 --> 01:23:40,145
But that's where we'll send you
if it harelips the Governor.

1473
01:23:42,731 --> 01:23:45,526
- Thank you for your time.
- No problem.

1474
01:23:46,485 --> 01:23:48,487
- Sorry.
- You bet.

SAM: What happened to my pills?

1476
01:23:57,955 --> 01:24:01,250
Isn't it bad enough you drink too much?
You're taking my pills, too?

1477
01:24:01,333 --> 01:24:03,293
GINGER: I didn't take your pills.

1478
01:24:03,335 --> 01:24:06,421
For my ulcer, I take a half of one of these.

1479
01:24:06,588 --> 01:24:08,715
That's when I have extreme pain.

1480
01:24:08,799 --> 01:24:12,094
I had a three-month supply.
What did you do with them?

GINGER: [Crying] You didn't have to
beat him up.

1482
01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:15,848
SAM: What?

1483
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:19,017
GINGER: I was just trying to help him.

1484
01:24:20,102 --> 01:24:22,354
GINGER: Like I'm sleeping with the guy.

1485
01:24:22,437 --> 01:24:24,273
Yeah, how do I know?

1486
01:24:24,898 --> 01:24:28,110
GINGER: You can't make me stop
caring about people.

1487
01:24:28,193 --> 01:24:30,445
SAM: What?
GINGER: I said...

1488
01:24:31,572 --> 01:24:35,075
you can't make me
stop caring about people.

1489

SAM: Listen...

1490
01:24:46,545 --> 01:24:49,006
I'm trying to make the best
of everything here.

1491
01:24:49,047 --> 01:24:51,633
I mean, you're my wife, for Christ's sakes.

1492

People look up to you in this town.

1493

You know what, Ace? I don't give a shit.

01:25:09,776 --> 01:25:12,571
GINGER: Okay.
SAM: If not for me, at least for Amy.

1497

SAM: Understand? Your drinking's
getting way out of hand.

1498
01:25:15,657 --> 01:25:19,203
I'm gonna get you into a program.
They got plenty of good ones.

1499
01:25:19,494 --> 01:25:22,414
- I don't need one.
- Yes, you do. It's very discreet.

1500
01:25:22,497 --> 01:25:24,750
There's no names in the papers.

1501
01:25:24,833 --> 01:25:26,877
That's all you care about.

SAM: Yes, I do.
GINGER: No, you don't.

How could you say that?

1505
01:25:33,509 --> 01:25:36,470
You're a beautiful woman.
You're destroying yourself.

1506

You don't need that stuff,
that fucking leech living off you.

1507

I know you better than you know yourself.

1508
01:25:42,309 --> 01:25:44,728
You're a tiger. You're stronger than I am.

1509
01:25:44,811 --> 01:25:49,233
When you set your mind on doing
something, you do it better than anybody.

You're gonna do it.

<i>The cash kept rolling in...</i>

1519
01:26:37,322 --> 01:26:39,992
<i>and the suitcases kept coming and going.</i>

1520

<i>And let me tell you,</i>
<i>the fucking bottom line here is cash.</i>

1521
01:26:46,832 --> 01:26:49,084
<i>The only problem was that after a while...</i>

1522

<i>the bosses noticed that</i>
<i>the suitcases were getting a little light.</i>

1523

Wait a minute. You mean to tell me...

1524
01:26:56,425 --> 01:26:59,094
that the money we're robbing
is being robbed?

1525
01:26:59,178 --> 01:27:01,013
Somebody's robbing from us?

1526
01:27:01,096 --> 01:27:04,641
We go through all this fucking trouble
and somebody's robbing us?

1527
01:27:05,058 --> 01:27:09,062
Like I said, it's part of the business.
It's considered leakage.

1528
01:27:09,229 --> 01:27:11,773
Leakage, my balls.

<i>You go try and make these hard-headed</i>

1536
01:27:29,708 --> 01:27:32,211
What's the point of skimming
if we're being skimmed?

1537
01:27:32,294 --> 01:27:35,005
It defeats the whole purpose
of what we're doing.

1538
01:27:35,088 --> 01:27:39,301
They take this money because they're
my guys, so give them some leeway.

<i>So, she sued him in court.</i>

OBERON: Thank you.

a real estate partnership?

MAN 2: Her lawyer said you were partners.

1593
01:30:14,831 --> 01:30:18,627
We were involved
in minor real estate deals many years ago.

1594
01:30:18,710 --> 01:30:20,879
It was never a partnership.

1595

01:30:42,484 --> 01:30:44,862
Green's here about two or three times
a month...

1603

01:30:55,539 --> 01:30:59,293
My responsibilities are
to run the day-to-day operations.

1607
01:30:59,793 --> 01:31:02,004
So day-to-day, then, you're the boss?

1608
01:31:02,087 --> 01:31:05,966
Well, in a sense, you could say
that I am the boss...

1609
01:31:06,216 --> 01:31:08,218
when Mr. Green is away.

1610
01:31:10,846 --> 01:31:12,264
You could say that.

1611
01:31:13,682 --> 01:31:15,350
PAT: Have you read this?

1612
01:31:15,517 --> 01:31:17,352
About Mr. Rothstein.

1613
01:31:17,686 --> 01:31:21,023
It says, "The Midwest bookmaker
with mob ties...

1614
01:31:21,106 --> 01:31:25,444
"says that he is the real boss
of the $100 million Tangiers casino empire."

1615
01:31:25,986 --> 01:31:28,739
PAT: Do you believe that?
OFFICIAL: Did he really say that?

1616
01:31:28,822 --> 01:31:31,909
Why, of course he really said that.
It's right here.

1617
01:31:32,492 --> 01:31:35,495
Has that man even filed for his license yet?

1618
01:31:35,746 --> 01:31:38,040
I don't know. We have to check the files.

1619
01:31:38,081 --> 01:31:41,084
Without getting your shorts in a knot,
would you do that?

1620
01:31:41,126 --> 01:31:45,047
And check closely, 'cause we may
have to kick a kike's ass out of town.

1621
01:31:46,507 --> 01:31:47,883

- Charlie, you want a refill?
- Yeah, that would be great.

1653
01:33:38,410 --> 01:33:41,872
I don't want nothing. Hi, Mr. Clark.
I've been trying to reach you.

- You're tougher to get than the President.
- I've been busy.

Yeah? At least you could return
my phone calls, though.

1656
01:33:47,544 --> 01:33:50,464
Listen, Nicky, we talked about this.

1657

have to take some kind of loss.

Yeah.

I should explain to you
exactly what it is that I do.

1664

Tomorrow morning I'll get up nice

and if you don't have my money for me...

1666
01:34:24,540 --> 01:34:28,001

01:34:48,939 --> 01:34:51,316
You fuck people out of money

- What are you doing?

1680
01:35:08,584 --> 01:35:12,254
He's a square guy, for Christ's sakes.
He's gonna run to the FBI.

1681

That prick's been dodging me
for three weeks.

1682
01:35:15,257 --> 01:35:19,136
- You're trying to tell me what to do?
- I'm not trying to tell you what to do.

1683
01:35:19,219 --> 01:35:21,930
You're way out of line. Where's your head?

Where's my head?
Where's your fucking balls?

1685

I'm trying to put something big together.
You know what I'm talking about.

1686
01:35:29,563 --> 01:35:32,191
If you're acting like this now,
how can I depend on you?

1687
01:35:32,274 --> 01:35:35,277
A lot of things gonna change.
If you wanna be there with me...

1688
01:35:35,360 --> 01:35:37,279
you're gonna have to go my way.

1689
01:35:37,321 --> 01:35:41,074

going through the place.

1691

Believe me, if it goes bad for me,
it's gonna go bad for a lot of people.

1693
01:35:50,501 --> 01:35:52,127
Forget about your fucking license.

1694
01:35:52,211 --> 01:35:55,589
I plant my own flag out here,
you ain't gonna need a license.

1695
01:35:57,216 --> 01:36:00,260
I don't know what it is,
but the more I talk to you...

1696
01:36:00,344 --> 01:36:03,472
the more I feel like you just
don't want to go along with me.

1697
01:36:03,514 --> 01:36:06,433
- No, I don't want to come along with you.
- All right.

1698
01:36:06,517 --> 01:36:09,853
I don't want to be involved
in anything you're talking about, okay?

1699
01:36:09,937 --> 01:36:12,439
I want to run a square joint.
I just want my license.

1700
01:36:12,523 --> 01:36:14,316
I want everything quiet. That's it!

1701
01:36:14,399 --> 01:36:16,652
Quiet like this?
"I'm the boss"? That's quiet?

1702
01:36:16,735 --> 01:36:18,820
It's taken out of context. I had no control.

1703
01:36:18,862 --> 01:36:21,365
Ronnie and Billy will tell you
exactly what happened.

1704
01:36:21,406 --> 01:36:23,367
Back home that looks bad.

1705
01:36:23,450 --> 01:36:28,288
Looks bad? Every time you're on television,
I get mentioned. That looks bad.

1706
01:36:28,372 --> 01:36:30,207
What the fuck happened to you?

1707
01:36:30,290 --> 01:36:33,001
- What happened to you? You lost control?
- I lost control?

1708
01:36:33,085 --> 01:36:35,671
You're fucking walking around
like John Barrymore.

1709
01:36:35,712 --> 01:36:40,384
A pink robe and a fucking cigarette holder?
I lost control?

1710
01:36:40,467 --> 01:36:45,389
I don't wanna bring this up, but you treat
people with disrespect. Even your own wife.

1711
01:36:46,139 --> 01:36:48,517
My wife? What does she have
to do with this?

1712
01:36:48,600 --> 01:36:53,480
She was upset about a lot of things,
especially that Lester Diamond incident.

1713
01:36:54,231 --> 01:36:58,026
You're the shoulder to cry on?
Did you tell her about your role in that?

1714
01:36:58,110 --> 01:37:00,445
No, that's not the fucking point.

1715
01:37:00,571 --> 01:37:03,365
The point is, she's upset,
and you've got a problem.

1716
01:37:03,448 --> 01:37:06,201
I'd appreciate it if you'd stay out
of my personal life.

1717

You wouldn't like it if I did it to you.

1718

She came to talk to me.
Was I supposed to throw her out?

Stay away from her.
It's none of your business.

01:48:14,536 --> 01:48:16,246
is Frankie Avalon.

1911
01:48:21,710 --> 01:48:25,172
PAT: Keep an eye on him.
FRANKIE: I've got a large family.

1912
01:48:25,255 --> 01:48:26,632
SAM: How many kids do you have?

1913
01:48:26,715 --> 01:48:29,635
I'm very proud to say, eight children.

1914
01:48:32,971 --> 01:48:36,934
- That's amazing.
- There's nothing to it. It was my pleasure.

1915

[Audience laughing]

1916
01:48:38,310 --> 01:48:40,062
PHILIP: Ace, don't do it.

1917
01:48:44,483 --> 01:48:45,734
Jesus.

1918
01:48:46,443 --> 01:48:47,945
<i>He's juggling!</i>

1919
01:48:48,278 --> 01:48:51,823
SAM: <i>Let's not take County Commissioner</i>
<i>Pat Webb too seriously.</i>

1920
01:48:52,074 --> 01:48:55,702
I recently challenged him to a debate
on this program, and he declined.

1921
01:48:55,786 --> 01:49:00,415
What are you worried about, Pat?
You don't have to send me any questions.

1922
01:49:01,083 --> 01:49:03,252
You can ask me anything you want.

1923
01:49:03,293 --> 01:49:06,171
ANDY: What the hell is he doing
on television?

1924
01:49:06,296 --> 01:49:11,093
He's on all night, screaming about
taking his lawsuit to the Supreme Court.

1925
01:49:11,635 --> 01:49:15,055
He really must be crazy.
He's gonna go to Washington with this?

1926
01:49:15,514 --> 01:49:17,391
He's out of his fucking mind.

1927
01:49:17,474 --> 01:49:21,103
It's a pity we have such hypocrisy.
Some people do what they want.

1928
01:49:21,186 --> 01:49:24,106
Other people have to pay
through the nose. Such is life.

1929
01:49:24,147 --> 01:49:29,111
Andy, go see him. Tell him
maybe it's time he should quit.

1930
01:49:35,158 --> 01:49:37,911
SAM: First, what they did
was totally unconstitutional.

1931
01:49:37,995 --> 01:49:41,665
SAM: We're on the list to be heard before
the U.S. Supreme Court.

1932
01:49:41,790 --> 01:49:44,084
These guys don't care
about the Supreme Court.

1933
01:49:44,168 --> 01:49:47,171
They want things to quiet down.
They want you to walk away.

1934
01:49:47,254 --> 01:49:52,217
Walk away? Andy, you can't be serious.
Don't you see what's at stake?

1935
01:49:52,384 --> 01:49:55,304
The old man said maybe
your friend should give in.

1936
01:49:55,387 --> 01:49:58,223
When the old man says "maybe,"
that's like a papal bull.

1937
01:49:58,307 --> 01:50:01,143
Not only should you quit, you should run.

1938
01:50:01,226 --> 01:50:05,731
Every time they mention my name
in the papers, they mention Nicky, too.

1939
01:50:05,856 --> 01:50:07,649
How the fuck does that help?

1940
01:50:08,192 --> 01:50:10,652
The heat he brought down is murder.

1941
01:50:10,736 --> 01:50:13,030
The police department was cooperative.

1942
01:50:13,155 --> 01:50:15,490
They're pissed off.
Nobody can make a move anymore.

1943
01:50:15,532 --> 01:50:16,825
What do you do about that?

1944
01:50:16,909 --> 01:50:19,953
- What are you proposing?
- I don't know. He doesn't listen to me.

1945
01:50:20,037 --> 01:50:22,956
Maybe he should get lost for a while.
Would that be so bad?

1946
01:50:23,040 --> 01:50:25,751
- They ain't sending Nicky nowhere.
- If he took a break...

1947
01:50:25,834 --> 01:50:27,794
it would give everybody time to maneuver.

1948
01:50:27,878 --> 01:50:31,840
I would forget about the maneuver.
I would just get out.

1949
01:50:33,926 --> 01:50:34,968
[Sighs]

1950
01:50:35,928 --> 01:50:37,596
I can't do that.

1951
01:50:38,263 --> 01:50:42,601
SAM: <i>Of course, as soon as Andy got home,</i>
<i>Nicky heard about our talk in the car.</i>

1952
01:50:42,726 --> 01:50:45,521
<i>Next morning, bright and early,</i>
<i>I get the call.</i>

1953
01:50:46,355 --> 01:50:48,815
I've got to do some shopping. Want to go?

1954
01:50:48,899 --> 01:50:51,193
SAM: <i>Getting a call from Nicky</i>
<i>wasn't easy anymore.</i>

1955
01:50:51,235 --> 01:50:54,363
<i>Even the codes didn't work.</i>
<i>So we figured out another act.</i>

<i>If a phone's tapped, the Feds can only</i>
<i>listen in on the stuff involving crimes.</i>

1957

<i>to click off after a few minutes.</i>

Meet me at 3:00.

1960
01:51:07,292 --> 01:51:10,003
- At Caesar's?
- 100 yards further down the road.

1961
01:51:10,546 --> 01:51:13,423
- Why?
- Don't ask questions. Just be there.

Brown unit.

<i>He's with the bogey. I think it's Frankie.</i>

1967
01:51:31,066 --> 01:51:33,277
SAM: <i>Nicky started out before me...</i>

1968
01:51:33,402 --> 01:51:37,239
<i>because it wasn't that easy for him</i>
<i>to get around anymore.</i>

1969
01:51:37,489 --> 01:51:40,242
<i>Nicky couldn't even go</i>
<i>for a ride without changing cars...</i>

1970
01:51:40,325 --> 01:51:43,453
<i>at least six times</i>
<i>before he could shake all his tails.</i>

1971
01:51:43,579 --> 01:51:46,832
<i>Because of the planes,</i>
<i>he had to use underground garages.</i>

SAM: <i>Meeting in the desert</i>
<i>always made me nervous.</i>

1974
01:52:20,991 --> 01:52:22,784
<i>It's a scary place.</i>

1975
01:52:23,535 --> 01:52:25,787
<i>I knew about the holes</i>
<i>in the desert, of course.</i>

1976
01:52:25,871 --> 01:52:29,458
<i>And everywhere I looked,</i>
<i>there could have been a hole.</i>

1977

<i>Normally, my prospects</i>
<i>of coming back alive...</i>

1978

Where the fuck you get off
talking to people behind my back?

1983
01:53:10,207 --> 01:53:13,001
- What people?
- Did you think I wouldn't find out?

1984
01:53:13,043 --> 01:53:15,212
I don't even know what you're talking about.

1985
01:53:15,295 --> 01:53:20,259
You said I'm bringing heat on you?
I gotta listen to people because of you?

1986
01:53:20,384 --> 01:53:23,512
You're ordering me out? You better get
your own fucking army!

1987
01:53:23,595 --> 01:53:25,138
I didn't order you or anybody.

1988
01:53:25,222 --> 01:53:28,267
I told Andy Stone that you had heat,
and that was a problem.

1989
01:53:28,350 --> 01:53:30,477
You want me to get out
of my own fucking town?

1990
01:53:30,561 --> 01:53:33,856
Yeah, let the bullshit blow over
so I can run the casino.

1991

Anything goes wrong
with the casino, it's my ass, not yours.

You know that you only have your fucking
casino because I made that possible!

Not your fucking country clubs
or your fucking TV shows.

And what the fuck
are you doing on TV anyhow?

1996
01:53:50,914 --> 01:53:55,002
I get calls from back home every day.
They think you went batshit!

1997
01:53:55,043 --> 01:53:58,881
I'm only on TV because I gotta be able
to hang around the casino.

job without going on TV!

- You wanted to go on TV.
- Yeah, I wanted to go on TV.

That way I have a forum. I can fight back.
I'm known.

They know they can't fuck around with
me like they could if I was an unknown.

2002

You're making a spectacle of yourself.

I wouldn't even be in this situation
if it wasn't for you.

your fucking license on me.

she's gonna piss it all away in a year.

<i>That doesn't make much sense.</i>

2222
02:07:42,955 --> 02:07:46,500
First of all, he's not gonna wear
$1,000 suits.

2223
02:07:46,834 --> 02:07:49,044
Let's say he did, which he won't.

2224
02:07:49,169 --> 02:07:52,506
How you gonna get fitted
for 25 suits in three days?

2225
02:07:54,341 --> 02:07:56,385
I mean, how could you get fitted that fast?

2226
02:07:56,468 --> 02:07:59,221
I can't get fitted that fast,
and I pay twice as much.

2227
02:07:59,304 --> 02:08:01,348
I bought him a watch, too.

2228
02:08:02,516 --> 02:08:06,854
But even if you bought him a really nice
watch, one that he thought was nice...

2229
02:08:06,895 --> 02:08:08,981
he doesn't know
what the fuck a good watch is.

2230
02:08:09,022 --> 02:08:13,527
Say you go $5,000 to $12,000
at the most, which is impossible for him.

2231
02:08:14,820 --> 02:08:19,241
Plus, at the most, three suits,
$1,000 apiece. That still leaves what?

2232

- Would you knock it off, Sam?

another $4,000 for expenses this weekend...

GINGER: Jennifer.

GINGER: To the Riviera.

02:18:56,503 --> 02:18:59,339
GINGER: I had a salad.
SAM: What did Jennifer have?

2384
02:19:00,841 --> 02:19:02,509
She had the same.

Frankie, the little guy...

2432

he wouldn't be fucking
the Jew's wife, would he?

2433
