:12:00
NlCKY: He bet like a fucking brain surgeon.
:12:03
SAM: Place the checks properly.
:12:04
-That's the way you do it.
-Yes, sir.
:12:06
NlCKY: He had to know everything.
:12:08
He'd find out the inside stuff
nobody else knew...
:12:10
and that's what he'd put his money on.
:12:15
BACK HOME YEARS AGO
Even back home, years ago...
:12:18
when we first hung out,
he'd know if the quarterback was on coke...
:12:20
I'll take Columbia for $20,000.
:12:22
...if his girlfriend was knocked up.
:12:24
He'd get the wind velocity
so he could judge the field goals.
:12:27
He even figured out the bounce
you got off different kinds of wood...
:12:31
on college basketball courts.
:12:33
He'd be working on this day and night.
:12:35
He knew everything about a game
he would bet on.
:12:37
Ace got down at $6,000.
Get me down at $6,000.
:12:41
NlCKY: Season after season...
:12:42
the prick was the only guaranteed winner
I ever knew.
:12:45
But he was so serious about it all...
:12:47
that I don't think he ever enjoyed himself.
:12:49
But that's just the way he was.
:12:52
Back then, the bosses didn't give a fuck
whether he enjoyed himself or not.
:12:56
To them, he was a cash register.
:12:59
All they had to do was ring the bell
and take money.
:13:02
Especially Remo...
:13:03
who was a fucking degenerate gambler
who always lost.
:13:08
All those fucking sweeps.
:13:10
NlCKY: Unless Ace made his bets.
:13:11
Enough now!
:13:13
NlCKY: Ace made more money
for them on a weekend...
:13:15
than I could do heisting joints for a month.
:13:18
Whatever Ace picked up on the street,
he told Remo.
:13:22
Fixed fights, doped horses...
:13:24
crooked fucking zebras,
locked-in point spreads.
:13:28
He told fucking Remo everything.
:13:29
And, to tell you the truth, I don't blame him.
:13:33
Keeping Remo happy with money...
:13:35
was the greatest insurance policy
in the world.
:13:38
Son of a bitch!
:13:40
How did you get Oklahoma-Michigan?
:13:42
Nobody ever had Oklahoma....
How'd you do it?
:13:44
That's why they paid so well.
:13:46
REMO: You see? Never tells me nothing.
:13:48
What do we got on for next week?
:13:50
It's a little too early. I'll know
by Thursday. Is that all right?
:13:54
REMO: You'll come by the house?
SAM: I'll come by.
:13:56
At 7::00.
:13:58
REMO: Good job, my boy. Keep it up.
