A routine licensing hearing
turned into bedlam yesterday...
:16:07
when the flamboyant Tangiers Casino
executive, Sam "Ace" Rothstein...
:16:10
accused top gaming officials of corruption.
:16:13
...promised me a fair hearing
when you were comped at my hotel?
:16:16
And you asked for copies of your bill
to put on your expense account.
:16:19
In a wild outburst that followed his gaming
licence denial...
:16:22
Bullshit!
:16:24
...Rothstein followed several...
:16:25
stunned commissioners into the hallway
where he continued his harangue...
:16:28
until his own lawyers and friends
urged him to leave.
:16:31
You have a past. I have a past.
My past is no worse than yours.
:16:35
You guys think you have
the right to pass judgement!
:16:37
NEWSREADER: Long suspected
of running Tangiers without a licence...
:16:41
yesterday's hearing was to determine
if someone with Rothstein's history...
:16:45
was qualified to officially hold
a top gaming post.
:16:48
REMO: Fucking hypocrites!
:16:51
-What the hell's he gonna do now?
-I don't know.
:16:54
What's he doing?
:16:56
He knows all those guys he yelled at
are friends of ours.
:16:58
What's the matter with him,
making all this mess?
:17:01
Maybe he could run things
with another job title.
:17:03
Won't be the best,
but what are we gonna do?
:17:06
REMO: However he runs things, it's gotta be
quiet. Let him hide upstairs in the office.
:17:10
Say he's a janitor. I don't give a shit.
:17:13
But please, whatever job he takes,
make sure it's something quiet.
