SAM: In Vegas, I had to keep
a few juiced-in local cowboys working.
:17:14
They were close to the good old boys.
:17:18
Without us, these guys
would still be shovelling mule shit.
:17:21
You've got to keep a cleaner station.
:17:23
If you need Mr. Clean, page him.
:17:25
Won't happen again, Sam.
:17:27
SAM: Mr. Rothstein.
MAN: It won't happen again, Mr. Rothstein.
:17:30
Is this guy just another dumb fucking
white man, or what?
:17:33
-You need this guy.
-Can't get rid of him?
:17:35
He's juiced in.
He's the County Commissioner's cousin.
:17:38
SAM: I wouldn't give the bum a mop job.
:17:40
I had no choice. I had to take care of them.
:17:43
These yokels ran the state.
:17:44
DEALER: Thanks, Senator.
:17:46
SAM: They passed the laws,
owned the courts.
:17:48
I need a room.
:17:50
SAM: I had dozens of politicians
and state officials coming through weekly.
:17:54
SAM: Get him what he wants.
BlLLY: Certainly.
:17:55
SAM: Why not make them happy?
:17:59

For politicians,
like our State Senator up there...
:18:12
everything was on the house.
:18:13
These guys won their comped life
when they got elected.
:18:16
Why not take advantage of it?
:18:19
Still, the politicians came cheap.
We could handle them.
:18:23
It's a whale, like K.K. Ichikawa...
:18:25
who plays $30, 000 a hand in baccarat.
:18:27
That's the one you really gotta watch.
:18:29
He plays fast and big.
He has the cash and the credit...
:18:32
to turn out your lights.
:18:34
A year ago he cleaned out a couple
of casinos in the Cayman Islands.
:18:38
Downstairs he takes us for $2 million...
:18:40
and upstairs he takes free soap,
shampoo and towels.
:18:44
Another billionaire cheapskate
who loved his free rooms...
:18:48
free private jets
and $2 million of our money.
:18:52
But we got him back.
:18:53
I had our pilot tell him
the plane was on the fritz.
:18:56
ICHlKAWA: What went wrong?
BlLLY: I'm awfully sorry.
:18:59
These mechanical things happen.
