Las Vegas (2003–2008): Season 3, Episode 7 - Everything Old Is You Again - full transcript

Remarks about Las Vegas's past evoke a dream in which Danny, Mike and the girls arrive in 1962 at the Jubilee, the later Montecito, with new boss Ed, a mobster. They not only take over but invent the modern all-in-one-site entertainment formula, combining casino elements gambling, hotel, restaurants and shops, in the process inventing their present jobs. That takes quite some convincing and arm-twisting, in the spirit of those days still using methods they now wouldn't even consider.

Hi, Danny.

Hey. So you know that guy we picked up
for ripping off that old lady's purse?

Yeah.
No charges filed.

He confessed, but apparently
the cops forgot to read him his rights.

Well, I caught some perv taking pictures
with his camera phone this morning
down at the Bella Petto,

and I had to let him go
because Kathy Berson said...

that our "No Photography" sign
wasn't prominently displayed.

It seems like the criminals
get all the breaks these days.

It's no wonder why Ed quit,
you know that?
What you got in the bag?

I bought this at the, uh,
collectibles show we got going on
in the main ballroom.

Check it out,
"Lester Colette's The Jubilee."



The place they tore down in the '60s.
Yeah.

The place that used to be
where we are right now.

The Montecito was built
on the site of The Jubilee.
Oh, yeah?

Yeah. You know,
I bet it was a lot easier
to run a hotel back then.

Definitely no camera phones.
And when you caught a purse snatcher,
you dealt with him.

Mmm. The in-house way.
The in-house way.

So what do you think,
we were born 40 years too late?

Welcome to The Jubilee, sir.
Thank you.

Keep this up front for me here,
will ya?
Yes, sir.

Hey.

I'll meet you guys in the casino.
All right.

- Middle of the day,
they got Chubby Checker performing.

That's Vegas, baby.

You know how to do the twist?



No.
No? You gotta learn, man.

It's a gas.
Besides, all the chicks are doin' it.

We're not chicks.
It's easy. You just-

Mike, guys don't show
other guys how to dance.

Hey, you wanna be
the biggest square in town-

What, you just-You shake it-
You stick it out there like that?
There you go.

What the hell are you doing?
He was teaching me-

His office is over there.
Now, you guys wait right there.

Tough guys.

Hello, sir.
That's an "employees only" area.

It's okay.
He knows Mr. Colette.

But Mr. Colette said-
What's your name?

So we can put in a good word
for you with your boss.
Sarasvati. It's Indian.

Well, you are certainly
an Indian princess, Sarasvati.

Maybe I'll call you Pocahontas.

I'm not a "moccasins and papoose" Indian.
I'm from India.

Who the hell are you?

I'll be at my desk
if you need me, Mr. Colette.

Oh, I'm sure I will, Betty.

Hi. I'm, uh-
I'm Ed Deline.

So you're Ed Deline?
Exactly.

- How are the fellas in Chicago?
- Well, they were a little antsy.

Look, I know how things work.

I'll be happy to extend
every possible courtesy...

to you and the people
you represent.

I'll make a call,
set you guys up with broads, booze.
Just give me a list of names.

I was, uh, actually thinking
along the lines of, um,
51% of The Jubilee.

Before you get yourself into trouble,
maybe you should talk
to my friends in Kansas City.

I'll tell you what.
Why don't you call them
and tell them that I'm here.

And in the meantime,
maybe you got
a presidential suite or somethin'?

What I got are four security guards downstairs
who'll be happy to escort you out.

- Four, huh?
- Big ones.

I'm sorry.
I'm leaving.

Can you believe we're gonna
be running this place?
Can you believe these broads?

I'm gonna go get a beer.
You want somethin'?

No, I better stay here
in case Ed comes back.

Miss, let me get that.

Manhattan.
Manhattan's on me.

Yes, sir.
And whatever you got on tap.

Thank you.

I'm Danny.
Mm-hmm.

I know who you are.
You're Danny McCoy.
How do you know that?

I make it my business to know
about everything that affects me.

And how do I affect you?
So far,
a mild tingling sensation.

I'm Sam.

You're taking over The Jubilee.
Do you work here?

Sometimes.
I freelance.

Danny.

Ed's coming.

Call me.

Mmm.

How'd it go?

I tried to have a reasonable
conversation with the man.

Oh, look at this.

It's Don Skelton and the rest
of the Gaming Commission guys.

Hi, Don.

Nevada Gaming Commission.
The Jubilee's gaming license
is suspended, effective immediately.

Okay. Uncle.

What are your people looking for?

Hundred thousand.

Oh, I'm-I'm sorry.
This is Danny McCoy,
and this is Michael Cannon.

100 K a month?
A week.

No way you can skim that much.
Place'll go broke.

Not if you double
your gaming revenue.

- How do you plan to do that?
- Management reorganization.

Danny, what do you want?

Bars, restaurants
and entertainment.

- Mike?
- Security.

Me-What do you call
the guy that runs everything?

- President.
- President.

President of operations.
Nice.

- Mmm.
- Come on. I'll buy you guys lunch.

What about me?
You said we were partners.

Right. I am putting you in charge
of the complaint department.

Let's go.

Order up.

Hey, fellas.
What can I get you?

Uh, a burger and a chocolate malt.

B.L.T. and a Green River.

- And I would, uh-
- I'm sorry.

Apparently, Mary doesn't remember.
We don't serve Negroes.

There's a place a couple of blocks
off the Strip.

Would you mind if you and I
had a private word?

Yeah, sure, but, uh,
your friend's gotta leave.

You stay where you are.
Right this way.

Sorry, but those are the rules.

Not anymore, they're not.
I'm-I'm Ed Deline.

I'm the new president
of operations here.

Oh, yeah?
Well, I'm the new president of Vegas,
and I say those are-

Oh, God!
You don't say nothin'.

Here's a C-note.
Consider it your severance pay.

Get the hell out of here before
I shove the rest of this chili up your ass.

You're makin' a big mistake.
Go on.

Appreciate the effort, Mr. D,
but I could've handled that myself.

I know that, Mike.

But you wouldn't deprive me
of havin' a little fun, would you?

I'm very sorry for the disturbance.

Oh, excuse me.
Excuse me.

Hello. I'm Delinda Deline.

My father's going to be
running The Jubilee for a little bit.
Can you let him know I'm here?

Certainly.
Uh, are you checking in?

Are you kidding me? I'm moving in.
Can you keep those with you for a while?

You know, things to do, people to see.
Which reminds me, do you know where
the showgirl tryouts are being held?

Uh, right down that hall.

Thanks a bunch. Wish me luck.
Break a leg.

Hi.

Hey, you.
You leaving?

Yeah. I just finished my shift.
Do you need me to stay?

No, no. Uh, you mind
if I ask you a question?

Sure.

Do you know how to do the twist?
The twist?

Yeah.
"The Twist"?

- You got it, sweetheart.
- Yeah.

I know how to do the twist.

Would you like to do the twist with me?

No. I-
It's easy. It's easy.

You just-You move...

like you're drying off your rear end
with an imaginary towel...

while you put out
a cigarette on the floor.

I know.

I wanna talk to you
about the coffee shop.

So I'm in charge
of all the restaurants now,

plus the bars
and entertainment.

Basically,
all the non-gambling stuff.
Congratulations.

Anyway, since we just fired
that other jerk,

I thought that I would promote you
to the coffee shop manager.

Well, I appreciate that,
but I don't know.

I mean, the tips are pretty good.

No, we'd-we'd give you a raise
so that you're making...

more than you are now.

Yeah?
Yeah.

Okay.
Okay.

Can I give you a ride home?

Okay.
Okay.

So, can I take you
to dinner tonight?

Danny, I appreciate the promotion
and the ride home and all that,

but if you're expecting
something in return-

Just dinner.

A girl's gotta eat, right?

I'm busy tonight.
Mmm.

Wagon Train?

Dr. Kildare.

Hold your bets.

Nine red.

- Hey, that's not enough.
- Ten-dollar bet, sir.

I got a hundred-dollar chip in there.
Bet was 105.

My apologies.

Mr. Cannon.
Okay.

In case Lyle didn't fill you in,
I'm your new boss.

Your new job objective is to make sure
that every thief, cheat and lowlife
knows that starting today,

The Jubilee is the last place
they wanna get caught.

Is it against the rules
for one guy to place a bet
and have another guy collect it?

Anyone?

'Cause that guy-
Something doesn't smell right.

Maybe he forgot to use
his roll-on this morning.

I'm gonna go do
surveillance on him.
Do you know what that means?

No, sir, I don't think I do.

Enjoy your visit at The Jubilee?
I did, yes.

Mind if I ask you a few questions?
Sorry, I'm late for-

Why did you and that other guy
switch places at the roulette table?
What guy?

Okay.

Look, it was my brother.
We were pooling our money.

I didn't know money pooling
was against the rules-
If I see you here again-

You won't.
We got a backroom
you're not gonna wanna see.

Gettin' in the car now.

Slide, twist, turn, pivot.

Slide, twist, turn, pivot.

Slide, twist.

Number two,
I want a slide, not a shuffle.

Slide, slide.
Number three, good job.
And, number five,

if you don't wanna flaunt your figure,
this is not the job for you.

- Delinda.
- Daddy.

Unless you're here for a tryout, sir-
This is my father, Ed Deline.

Oh, Mr. Deline.
Sir, I'm so sorry. I didn't know.

I really did-
No, please, please.
It's not a problem.

- Excuse me for the inter-
I just want a quick word with my daughter.
- Sure.

Sorry. I apologize.
It's okay.

I know what you're going to say.
But if you don't want me being
a showgirl, give me an alternative.

I don't even know
what the hell you're doing here.
And take that hat off.

I'm here for excitement
and adventure, Daddy.

Isn't that what Vegas is all about?
No.

Not for my daughter, it's not.
Now, you want an alternative?

You go back home
and you find yourself a very nice husband.
I'm too young to get married.

You're 27 years old.
You've really gotta get
with the times, Daddy.

These days, a lot of girls don't just
get married and start having babies.
A lot of us want a career.

How about I run
the dress shop here?

Uh-uh.
There-There is no dress shop here.

My point exactly.

Boy, you must really like this place.
I like the clientele.
They're rich.

Does my honesty bother you?

I'm not rich.

Think you could still like me?
Sure.

I wanna stay on your good side.

There's that honesty again.

Mm-hmm.
I know they gave you a suite.

Ed. You know,
the more I think about it,

the more I think you relieving me
of my duties, so to speak,

may be a great opportunity for me.

I'm glad you feel that way.
You wanna know why?

Nah.
I'll tell you why.

Running this place
has really become a chore,

a chore I don't need.

Hell, when I came here, there were barely
10,000 people in this burg.

Now there's over 70,000.

Besides, you running things gives me
more time to spend with Betty.

- Hey, Lester.
- Welcome back, Randol.

This is our new president
of operations, Ed Deline.

Taking over for me.

Mr. James is a frequent guest
and very accomplished craps player.

Well, a pleasure.
Nice to meet you.

The only thing I accomplished
on my last trip was losing
about, uh, 80,000 bucks.

Lester here, he, uh,
he treats me real good, so-

This is my son, Randol Jr.

How you doing there, Junior?

Since you're taking over for Lester,
you're the guy I should be talking to...

about a, uh, special request.

My boy turned 21 today.
Nice.

My boy, the virgin.

So I thought,
what better birthday present
could a dad give a son...

than to introduce him
to the pleasures of manhood
in Las Vegas at The Jubilee...

with the classiest,
most beautiful working girl in town?

What a heartwarming gesture.
Can you set that up for me?

Stick that, uh, in your pocket.
It's not a problem.

Come on, Son.

You and I are gonna roll some dice
and drink some highballs,
not necessarily in that order.

The guy admitted to
pooling money with his brother.

And that is not allowed.
I don't know if it is or isn't.

But the way he slid in there
was a little too sneaky.

If the other cat's his brother,
how come they don't
look at each other or say hi?

From now on,
whoever makes the bet collects it.
Got it.

But if you see that guy in
this casino again, we wanna know.

- Yes, sir.
- Sounds like past-posting.

What's past-posting?
Do you know?
I can't say that I do.

Past-posting is when a player replaces
a smaller wager with a bigger one between
the time his bet wins and the dealer pays him.

Two-man teams work the scam
to confuse the dealer or croupier,
who doesn't recognize the second guy.

Figures he just didn't see the guy
who made the big bet.

Seems too crude to work, but it does.

- How come she knows that and you don't?
- Luck?

You wanna work
in the security department?

Oh, sorry.
I'm opening a dress shop.

Okay. I gotta go.

You ready for me?

Thank you.

Yeah, come in.

Ed.
Lester.

- I got another complaint.
- Listen, Lester.

See, I'm thinkin'- I'm thinkin'
that this complaint department...

is a complete waste
of your god-given talents.

Now, you remember when we said that
we should increase our gambling revenue?

Well, there is no reason at all
that we shouldn't also be able to increase...

our non-gambling revenue.

So, forget the complaints.
What I would like you to do...

is to think of, uh, new ways
for us to make a lot of money.

So maybe you can take two weeks off.
Take a month.

Take whatever the hell you need.
New ways.

No-No-No more complaints.
Aye-aye, captain.

I gotta make a phone call.
Oh.

I don't know why this guy can't get
pissed off the way he's supposed to.

No, ma'am. No, not you.
May I have room 417, please?

Yeah.

Oh, Mr. D.

Uh, Sam Marquez?
Yeah, I might be able to find her.

Okay, yeah.

So, uh, Lester Colette says
that you're the best in town.

Yeah, I know.

Mr. D. wants to hire you
for some 21 -year-old first-timer.

Randol James, Jr.
Son of a high roller.

When?

As soon as possible.

- First-timer's $500.
- Yeah. Sweetie, where were we?

For $500, you'd want your date
to be fresh as a daisy.

Well, what, uh-
What about us?

Oh, well, just so we're straight,
there is no "us."

But I am a girl of my word.
So I will reschedule you
as soon as I can.

- Sam!
- Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Do you know how to do the twist?

Sure. Yeah.
Everyone knows the twist.

I mean, unless
you're some kind of Poindexter.

- Yeah, that's true.
- Bye.

Gaming Commission really
came through for us, Don.

There it is- 5,000.
Count it.

I trust you. Our relationship's
all about honesty, right, Ed?

Yeah, absolutely.

I hope you don't mind
if I make a suggestion.

A small thing that'll go a long way
towards keeping the peace around here.

Because the more peaceful things are,
the more money we all make.

Yeah, right. Right. Go ahead.
What's your-What's your suggestion?

I heard you ash-canned
Ray Brennan.

That racist prick from the coffee shop?

Look, I'll admit the man's no saint.

But he is Tony Rago's
brother-in-law.

"Kansas City" Tony?
Yeah.

He and a few of his lieutenants
are in town.

They set up shop at some
spaghetti joint down on Harmon.

So, uh, what, are you asking me
to give this jerk his job back?

It'll help us keep the peace.

Hey.
Hey. I can't really talk right now.

One of my waitresses called in sick.

Everything okay?
Yeah, fine.

It doesn't seem fine.
I just didn't sleep much last night.

That's it? No sleep?

Somebody called me.
It might have been Ray
disguising his voice.

It might have been somebody else.
It's probably nothing.
What did they say?

Oh, "We know you're the reason
Ray lost his job.
We know where you live."

The usual.

Do you want me
to stay at your house, on the couch,
just so you don't worry?

No, you know,
I shouldn't have said anything.
I'm sure it was Ray.

He was trying to scare me, and his bark
is way worse than his bite.
I'll be fine.

Okay, well, you promise me
you'll let me know
if anything else happens?

I promise.

Okay.

Hey, we still on for that dinner?

- Absolutely.
- Oh, good.

Actually, I dig India.
You do?

Oh, yeah. Taj Mahal,
cows rulin' the roost,
that little cat with the sheet.

Gandhi?
That's the one.

Then there's the whole
Kama Sutra thing.
Oh.

I gotta take care of something, baby doll.
Maybe we could get together sometime?

I'd like that.
To be continued.

What's up, boss?
That's the guy who came in
with the other guy.

You know, pooling their money.
I wanna watch him,
see if he tries that past-posting.

- Yes, sir.
- Okay, his number hit.

Nope, nothin'. He didn't add to his bet.
The croupier paid off what was there.

You keep saying he's not doing anything,
but his chip count keeps growing.

You know, some people just have
a knack for knowing when to bet big.

Take my cousin Dick, for example.
I'll watch him.

You-You watch the wheel.
Excuse me.

Yeah.

Uh-oh.
He won again, Mr. Cannon.

Anything?

- You want one of the boys to toss him?
- I wanna know what he's doing
so we know how to prevent it.

Like I said, you know,
my cousin Dick-

My aunt called it a sixth sense.
Keep watching.

He was gifted at this.

So we're supposed to rehire Ray after
he's been threatening Mary on the phone?

Look, I know that it stinks.
The guy's connected, okay?

But if I have to bring him back over here,
I'll have a little chat with him first.

I'll make him apologize to Mary.

Then we'll transfer her somewhere else
so she doesn't have to deal with the bum.
All right.

Mr. Deline?
Yeah?

Lester's here with some visitors.

He says it's about
"increasing non-gambling revenue."

Uh, okay.
Show him in.

I gotta find something for this guy
to do that doesn't involve me.

Ed, Danny!

Talk about the manna-from-heaven
mother lode.

This is Dr. Miles Mellon.

And this is Lorraine.
Howdy.

- How are you?
- Hi.
- Hi, there.

Dr. Mellon has the exclusive
Las Vegas rights...

to a miraculous new technology
that will make our world
an even more fantastic place.

And how many times
can you say that?

- Dr. Mellon.
- Lorraine.

Gentlemen, you are looking at
man-made cans.

I placed implants in Lorraine's breasts,

making them larger, fuller,
generally more appealing.

- Implants?
- Plastic bags filled with silicone.

As Lester told you,
it's a brand-new technology.

Never again will a woman be stuck
with what the Almighty gave her.

- What do you think?
- Interesting.
- Nice.

I don't normally expose myself
in front of strangers.

Except every night at the Dunes.

But since it's for science-

Listen, just what's
the revenue angle here?

You've got showgirls.
Showgirls need nice melons.

Yeah, I know. Who'd have thought
my name would be my destiny?

Anyway,

for every girl that, uh,
you refer to me, I'll kick back $100.

A hundred bucks?

How many, uh-
How many showgirls we got here?
Eighteen.

1800 bucks.

Would you like to feel 'em?
They're very natural.

Yeah.
Lorraine, put your clothes on, please.

Listen, uh, don't get me wrong here.

I-I really like
the way you're thinking.

But the truth is,
I have a much bigger assignment for you.
Are you sure?

See, my-my daughter,
she's opening a dress shop here.
Mm-hmm.

And, uh, the truth is, she hasn't really
got a lot of business experience.

Well, actually, she has none.

So I was wondering if you'd,
you know, mind helping her?

Sure.
Good.

Hi.
Hi.

You must be Randol.
I'm Sam.

Happy birthday.

Sam, I don't know what to do.

Oh, I'll show you, sweetie.

No, I mean, I don't know if I wanna
do this. It wasn't my idea.
Oh.

Well, you don't have to do
anything you don't wanna do.

It was my dad's idea. He thinks
if you haven't had sex by the time
you're 21, you must be queer.

- But I'm-I'm not.
- No. Of course not.

This just isn't what I imagined
for my first time.
You know, what I want.

Sure.
Nothing against you.

I mean, you're unbelievably beautiful.
Don't worry about it.

I understand.

- Hey, where's your dad now?
- He's waiting down in the casino.

- I'm gonna go talk to him.
- No! Don't.

Don't?
If you go down there now,
he's gonna know.

Oh. Well, then
I won't talk to him now.

I'll talk to him later,
and he won't know a thing, I promise.
Thanks.

- Hey.
- Yeah?

- You know how to play gin rummy?
- No.

No?
No.

Oh, my gosh!

Well, I'm gonna teach you.

Hey.
Hey.

Okay, now I am scared.
What happened?

I don't know how,
but they broke into my apartment
and they tore the place up,

and they left this note.

"If Ray doesn't get his job back,
next time it's you that gets busted up."

So you think maybe
we should have that talk with Ray?

Yeah, I'd, uh, try to find him.

Tell him we want him back here
at The Jubilee, but we gotta talk first.

Yeah.
Yeah, talk.

Will do.

Mr. James?
Hi.

Hi.
I'm Sam.

Um, well,
I just wanted to thank you.

For what?
For your son.

I can't accept payment.

In fact, um,
I should be paying him.

Oh. No, no, no, no, no, no.
You keep it.

So, Randol Jr.
did himself proud, huh?

Like a stallion.
Well, you know what they say:

Like father, like son.

Enjoy the rest of your stay.
Sam, wait.

Now I want you.

You want the girl
your son just had?

It'll be something
we can bond over.

Actually, um,
I think it'd be kind of sick.

Yeah, well, lucky for me,
you don't get paid for your opinions.

I'm busy.
I'm here all week.

I'm busy all week.

But, actually, um, for you-
Mm-hmm.

I'm busy forever.

I'm so glad the candy shop
went out of business
and freed up this space.

I mean, I'm not glad they failed,
but you know what I mean.

And since the dresses arrived from L.A.,
I figured, why not open tomorrow?

Why not?
You know, Delinda,

if I'm gonna help down here,
I really need
to be familiar with our product.

Well, this is a Pierre Cardin.
This is an Andr? Courr?ges,

Mary Quant, Lanvin-

It's tough to appreciate
the differences on the rack.

You think you could model a few?

Well-
First rule of retailing:
Know your merchandise.

I guess if you need
to see them on me, okay.

Obviously, I want the store
to be trendsetting,
but quality trendsetting.

- Mr. Colette!
- It's not what you think. I-I-I-

- You should be ashamed of yourself!
- I-I was just checking the light fixture.

Listen, uh, you're not gonna
tell your father about this, are you?

I should.

Because even though
I was just checking that fixture,
it might upset him.

Oh. It will upset him.

How about this?
If we just keep this between us,

I'll be your salesman unpaid.

Big reduction
in your cost of doing business.

So you can spy on my customers?
I won't go anywhere
near the changing room.

I-I-I swear.

And I'll throw in my two front row tickets
to the Sinatra show tomorrow.

Front row?

That's better.
These guys don't get it.

When an Imperial or Caddy
or Continental comes in,
you gotta park it up front.

Excuse us. Makes the hotel look
like a place high-steppers frequent,
and maximizes their tips.

Sounds like you know a thing or two
about being a valet, my man.
I do.

I can't figure out why.
You talk to Ray?
Yeah. He's coming by tomorrow.

What's happening
with that past-posting?
Still trying to find some proof.

Wait a minute.
I got an idea.

How close can we get?
You can see the whole table.

- And you just wanna
film people playing roulette?
- Not everyone.

Just people like this past-poster.
You know, suspicious people.

One question:
How are we gonna develop the film?

I know how to develop film.

There's a Rexall
a couple blocks down the road.

I'm telling you, man,
a visual record of every move, every bet-

This baby will revolutionize
Las Vegas surveillance.

Excuse me, fellas.
A Mr. James wants to speak
to someone in management.

I couldn't find Mr. Deline.

I got it.

God!
Just make sure that-

Get it back in there,
and keep it rollin'.

Right.
Excuse me, sir.

Can I have a little peek?
Lyle, for Pete's sakes.

Are you familiar with that girl Sam
you got for my kid?
Sam? Yeah, I know who Sam is.

She refused to service me.
So she insults me,

and then she has the audacity
to sit at the bar.

Do you expect me to patronize a bar where
someone who just insulted me is sitting?
She still over there?

I don't think so. She'll be back.
And if she does come back, I leave.

I'll be sure to talk to her, sir.

I don't know, Mike.
We've been watching this guy
for 20 minutes.

We haven't seen him touch
a single winning bet.

What did you just say?

I said we've been watching him
for 20 minutes-

Twenty-one minutes.
After that.

I don't know.
You said he hadn't touched
a single winning bet.

He hasn't.
I gotta hand it to the guy.
I just realized how he does it.

He switches the chips after he loses.
Every bet's a big one.

But when he loses,

he's switching in lower-valued chips
right before the croupier takes 'em away.

See? There it is.

We were so focused on watching him
when he wins, we didn't think
to watch him when he loses.

What did I tell you?
This is gonna revolutionize
Las Vegas surveillance.

Now all we gotta do is find him.
How are we gonna do that?

Well, if he thinks he's not gonna
get caught, he'll be back.

Huh?
Now we got the goods on him.

Huh?

What was that?

So, I hear you gave Mr. James
the brush-off.

He's disgusting.
That may be.

But he's an important guest.
He gambles a lot of money here.

I'm afraid you're gonna have
to set up shop somewhere else.

I like it here.

Unfortunately, I have to do
what's best for the casino.

Sit down.

Please.

Okay, look.
I usually work out of The Jubilee,
but I have clients at all the hotels.

Big-money clients.
I convince them to gamble here,

you keep track of
how much business I bring in.

I guarantee you, it'll be a lot more
than Mr. James generates.

And I'll stay with them,
you know, even afterwards.

I'll make sure
they're very happy here.

So you're, like, a casino hostess?

Yeah, okay.
That's good.

Thanks.
Good idea.
I'll think about that.

Okay.
Okay.

Hey.
Hey, yourself.

We got everything worked out with Ray.
He won't be bothering you anymore.

Thank you.
I got this brilliant idea.

Oh, yeah?
Instead of dinner Friday night,
how about the Sinatra show tonight?

I got a couple of pretty great seats.
I would love to.

But I can't go see
the world's greatest singer
dressed like this.

Not to worry. You know where
the candy shop used to be?
Yeah.

We just opened up a dress shop there.
They already know you're gonna stop by.

You can go ahead and pick out
anything you want on the house.

Shoes too?
Why not?

The past-posting guy's here.
Okay. 8:00.

Okay.
All right.

Hey. Hey, what-

I guess that warning
I gave your brother
didn't do any good.

- I don't know what you're talking about.
- We're talking about past-posting.

Cheating.

You tell us how you did it,
and maybe we'll give you
another chance.

- We got it on film, so-
- I told you, I didn't do anything.

No?

I'll tell you this.
You won't do it again.

No!

Uh, Danny boy here
told you how sorry we are?

He did. Yeah, yeah.
You know what I think?

I think everybody
got off on the wrong foot.

Well, I, uh- I certainly agree.

Boy, I tell you.
And I, you know, for one,

know how terribly important it is
that all the factions in town get along.

Yeah. If you're talking about Kansas City,
don't worry about it.

Oh, that's great. Clean slate, right?
That is great.

Good. I'm very happy
that, uh, you're back.

Let me tell you
what we have in mind here.

Did you know that, uh-
that this place here, The Jubilee,
owns land all the way out to Koval?

Well, we wanna build the biggest nightclub
right there on that far eastern corner.

That's right.
We want you to run it.
Yeah?

What do you think?
Good, huh?
Yeah!

Hey, uh, you wanna take a-
take a look at the site?

Sure.
Come on. Come on.

Now, Danny tells me
those threats that you made,
those were for Kansas City, right?

Yeah, pretty much, yeah.
Yeah. But what the hell?

I mean, it's a clean slate,
thankfully.
Yeah.

You know, I want you to look over there,

and I want you to imagine the future.

That's for Chicago.

Did you have that talk with Ray?
Yeah.

I think he understands now.

What happened to Ed?

You forgot? He quit.
He's at home.

Hey, you ready to reschedule?
Yes, I am.

Okay.

What are we rescheduling?

My new client, Randol James III.
He only carries cash.

We need to set up
a secure pickup for him at McCarran.
Right.

Hey, guys, this is Chubby Checker.

He's performing here this weekend.
How you doin'?

Hi. How are you?
The twist festival.

Did somebody say "The Twist"?

I love that song. Chubby Checker?

Let's do it.

Ow.
