:56:01
SAM: It wasn't long before what I was afraid
was gonna happen, happened.
:56:05
Nicky managed to get himself banned
from every casino in Vegas.
:56:08
From then on, I couldn't be seen talking
to him anywhere in or near Vegas.
:56:12
NlCKY: What the fuck is
that supposed to mean?
:56:14
"...detrimental to gaming and...
:56:16
"he will be ejected from
any casino in Las Vegas.
:56:19
"And the casinos can be fined
as much as $100,000...
:56:24
"every time he shows up."
:56:26
-You believe this shit?
-Yeah, you got banned.
:56:29
"Because of notorious
and unsavoury reputation."
:56:32
Motherfucker.
:56:34
[Nostalgic country music]
:56:36
-ls there any way around this?
-No, there's no way.
:56:41
Let's say, for instance...
:56:43
I want to go into the restaurant,
which happens to be in the casino...
:56:47
to get one of those sandwiches I like?
:56:49
Forget it. You can't even
set foot in the parking lot.
:56:52
That's how serious it is.
:56:57
-ln other words, I'm fucked?
-ln so many words, yes.
:57:00
SAM: It didn't sink into his head
about the Black Book and what it meant.
:57:04
Not being able to go into a casino
is just one thing...
:57:07
but being in this book etched your name
into the brains of every cop and FBI agent.
:57:12
You're listed in there with Al Capone.
But Nicky didn't care.
:57:15
I gotta do something.
They ain't getting rid of me.
:57:19
They're not getting rid of me.
I'm staying here. Fuck them.
:57:28
NlCKY: So once they pulled that shit...
:57:31
I started doing my own things in Vegas
nobody had thought of doing.
:57:34
To keep an eye on things, I brought in
my kid brother and some desperados...
:57:38
from back home and started knocking over
high rollers, casino bosses...
:57:42
bookmakers, anybody right here in town.
:57:44
I had a good fucking crew going for me,
I'll tell you that.
:57:47
I had Sal Fusco, a great second-story guy.
:57:51
Jack Hardy worked for a safe company
before he did a six-year bit.
:57:55
Then there was Bernie Blue.
This guy could bypass any alarm for me.
