Las Vegas (2003–2008): Season 4, Episode 16 - Junk in the Trunk - full transcript
Danny has worries from Wallace, who rips off his place after turning down the requested favor Danny owes him; Dalinda, who walked in on the guys while they were still in the place; Ed, for placing his daughter is danger; Mary, who, unknown to Danny, has bought a gun after her father was found not guilty for crimes against her and her step-sisters; and Sam, who has inherited the Montecido and is beginning to go power crazy. Meanwhile, Ed has his own plans for the casino, which does not include retiring like his wife wants him to do, and Mike meets an old classmate, who used to have a rather unique nickname for him.
NARRATOR: Previously on
Las Vegas.
No, I was thinking about more
like kidnapping and robbery.
Daddy!
Delinda!
Please help me!
(GROANlNG)
(SlGHlNG)
Said something about a monster
whale coming in tonight.
Mr. Peterson.
Yes.
Sam Marquez from the Montecito.
They want you to testify
against your father.
She was always lucky
to have a friend like you.
He got off.
I told you if you ever came
near her again, I would kill you.
How much for that.38?
I'm looking for Wallace.
Why you calling on me?
I need information.
What do I get out of it?
I could owe you.
Casey's dead.
It seems he's left
you the hotel and casino.
You own the Montecito.
SAM: As the new owner of the Montecito,
I want to make some changes around here.
Whatever it costs doesn't matter.
I want new carpets everywhere,
no reds, no greens.
Green reminds people
that they're losing money
and I lost my virginity in the
backseat of Nick Steinbach's car.
That red Pinto.
But he was hot.
Sam.
Wait there.
Hello, Mr. Peterson.
Hello, Sam.
You get my flowers?
I did, and the car,
and the necklace and the room key.
Marry me right now, Sam.
I'll make you the happiest
woman in the world.
How much have you lost?
Just under two million.
Ask me again at five.
Hmm.
How about dinner tonight?
A cocktail?
Always keep them begging for more.
Mmm-hmm.
Write that down.
I want new felt on
all of these tabletops.
Gold.
Maybe with a picture of my dog Reggie.
And I want a new design on
all of these casino chips.
Oh, how about putting an "S"
on all of the chips?
For Sam.
That's a great idea.
Give yourself a raise.
Thanks.
I'm kidding. You're fired.
What?
I'm just wielding my power. Play along.
Danny, Mike, I want all the employees
to salute me whenever they
see me on the casino floor.
Can you see to that?
Salute you?
Yeah.
Or the boys can salute me
and the girls can curtsy.
Like that.
Uh, I don't think that I can...
I'm just kidding.
(GlGGLlNG)
I think. I don't know yet.
Is this fun or what?
It is, I think.
Anyways, I'll see you guys later.
Hey, could you guys find out
how much it's going to cost
to change that big sign
out front from "The Montecito"
to "The Samecito"?
You write that down?
Yes.
"The Samecito"?
Yeah, she's just drunk with power.
She'll sober up in a few days.
If not we may have to enroll
her in "a pain in my ass" anonymous.
Hey, what are you and Delinda
doing tonight for dinner?
Uh... We don't have any plans. Why?
I need a wingman.
More like a wing couple.
I got an old family friend
in town for a couple of days
and my Aunt Gladys told her I'd take
her to dinner while she was here.
Why do you need me and Delinda?
Well, I haven't seen her in like
20 years and last time I saw her...
Ah. You slept with her.
No. No, no, nothing like that.
Then what?
Well...
(SlGHlNG)
What?
Let's just say, uh...
(MURMURlNG) She beat me up.
She what?
She beat me up.
The great Mike Cannon got
his ass kicked by a girl?
Not just any girl.
Julia Thomas, this girl was big...
Iron Mike Cannon?
Would you keep it down, man?
I got to meet this girl.
What the hell happened between you two?
Well, she said I had a peanut head.
So I told her...
Ooh.
Well, that's just not cool.
You don't say that to girls.
I know this now.
So, when I woke up, all the kids in the
neighborhood were laughing at me.
When you woke up? She...
She knocked you out?
Yes.
She knocked you out?
Yeah.
It was a lucky punch.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
You know, don't worry about it.
We'll, we'll go to dinner with you.
Cool. Thanks, and uh...
You'll keep this between us?
Of course. Absolutely, why would
I say something like that?
Thank you.
It's embarrassing.
Great. Thanks, Danny.
Mike Cannon, a.k.a. "Peanut Head",
got his ass kicked by a girl!
Ah! Yeah, well...
I not a kid anymore. I'm a grown man.
I got a beautiful head.
(CROWD CHATTERlNG)
I got a nice head.
SAM: You're late.
Sorry, I'm what?
Late.
Sam, get out of my chair.
Now, if I own the hotel,
isn't this really my chair?
Three... Two...
I can get my own chair.
Sam?
What, uh, exactly are you doing here?
Well, if I'm going to take the Sam...
If we're going to take
the Montecito to the next level,
well, don't you think that I should be more
integral in the day-to-day operations?
Integral?
Hmm.
I see.
Let me explain something to you, Sam.
Uh, casino owners do not run casinos.
Casino Presidents run casinos,
because it takes experience, skill.
Relationships, that's what makes
a casino work and that's what I do.
That's what you do?
Yes. Yes, it is. And you...
You lure rich suckers into the casino
to lose millions of dollars.
So, you continue to do that.
And now if you'll excuse me,
I've got a lot of work to do.
This conversation is not over.
Yes, it is.
I want you to start wearing suits.
New policy.
Get out.
I'm going to get you a timecard.
This conversation's not over.
What are you eating?
I know what you're thinking.
It looks like a corndog, but it's not.
It's a corn burger.
With chili and cheese I think.
It's fantastic. You want to try?
Uh, no.
You don't know
what you're missing.
Yeah, I think I do.
Honey, listen. Has your dad
said anything to you?
About what?
Retiring.
No! And he never will, I mean he doesn't
know how do to anything but work.
Oh, you want him to retire.
Don't you think it's my turn
to do what I want to do?
I've earned that, right?
Of course, Mom, but Daddy's
never going to leave here.
I mean, what else would he do?
(SlGHlNG)
Anyhoo, I got to run. I'm going
to surprise Danny with lunch.
Good luck.
Hey.
Oh!
Hey. Danny.
(GASPlNG)
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm just a little...
Fine. What's up?
I just thought you were
going to take a few days off.
Spend it with your sisters.
Yeah, it's my own fault. I booked, uh,
two conventions in the same
ballroom at the same time.
The meat packers,
and the, uh...
(MOANlNG)
Ah! Meat and magic under one roof.
As it should be.
Yeah. Yeah, l, I can't believe
I double booked. You know?
I don't know where
my head's been lately.
You're just under a
lot of stress right now.
Everything's going to be great.
I promise.
Mmm-hmm.
Okay.
You let me know if there's
anything I can do?
I'm fine.
I know you're fine.
Okay, I got to go.
Uh-huh.
Hey! What?
I thought that you had the day off.
What are you doing here?
Did you just have a corndog?
Corn burger.
They're awesome.
Ah.
Anyway, I was just out
shopping with my mom
and she wanted to come
by and talk to my dad
so I thought I would surprise
you by bringing you lunch.
Corn bacon?
No.
And thank you very much.
I got you the Miller
sandwich from Canter's.
The Miller? Beautiful! Thank you.
Oh, uh, we're going to dinner
tonight with Mikey if that's cool.
What's the occasion?
You're not going to believe this, but...
No.
No.
I'm not kidding you.
(BOTH GlGGLlNG)
MAN: Yes!
You told her. You told her. Huh?
Told her what?
About Julia.
No. I told her about dinner.
Hey, sorry. What time?
8:30.
Oh, good. I'll see you at home.
Later, Peanut Head.
(DELlNDA SNlGGERlNG)
I... She guessed that.
Who guesses Peanut Head?
So what's going on?
Are we hiring some new security staff?
Uh, not that I know of. Why?
Well, there's a couple brothers waiting
for you upstairs. Real gangster types.
They said they had
an interview with you.
That's news to me.
I'll take care of it.
You want me up there?
No. No, no, no, but if you
could give me Julia's number
in case I need her to knock somebody
out for me, that would be great.
That's cold, man.
It's only going to get colder.
What are you doing here?
Shopping with Delinda and I just
thought I'd stop in and say hi.
Really. Hi.
Okay. So, uh, what did I do?
Nothing.
Is this about the
hair in the shower drain.
Because if it is,
I told you a hundred times
there's nothing I can do
about that.
My father happened to be a very
hairy guy and it's a gene thing.
So, I mean,
blame it on my father.
Ed, it's not about hair
in drains.
I just thought maybe we could have
a nice conversation about our future.
Our future?
Mmm-hmm.
Hey, fellas. Danny McCoy.
They call me Piper.
Nice to meet you.
And this here's Little Kev.
Little Kev. What can I do for you?
Little Kev here needs a job.
You see he just got out the
pen and his punk-ass PO says
he needs a job or he's going back.
Oh, well, I'm sorry to hear
about that, Little Kev.
But, uh, why are you guys coming to me?
Wallace said you could hook it up.
He said you owe him.
Wallace?
So you guys work for Wallace?
Little Kev is Wallace's cousin.
Now, all he needs is one of those
time cards you all work with.
You'll get someone to punch
him in and out every day.
And if his PO calls,
you just tell him everything's cool.
Listen, guys, my hands are tied here.
I can't just bring an ex-con
on to work in a casino.
I ain't going to be doing no work.
Yeah, I get that, really,
but there's nothing that I can do.
The state has restrictions
about hiring felons in casinos.
I can't do it.
Just tell Wallace it's got
to be something else. I'm sorry.
What...
Wallace said you were straight.
Ain't going to be happy
to hear none of this.
Let's bounce.
Be seeing you soon, McCoy.
Oh. One more.
MAN 1: Whoa, wait! Hold it.
MAN 2: Hey, you made it.
WOMAN 1: Oh, hey!
Could you hold the elevator?
MAN 3: Got room there?
(WOMAN CHATTERlNG)
MAN 3: Thank you.
MAN 4: Hey, you got room for one more?
(PEOPLE CHATTERlNG)
(HEART BEATlNG)
(BREATHlNG HEAVlLY)
(GASPlNG)
(GASPlNG)
I got to... I got to get out! Excuse me.
Excuse me.
(CHATTERlNG)
Excuse me.
(BREATHlNG HEAVlLY)
(GASPlNG)
Oh, my God.
MAN: Let's go.
Don't move, bitch.
Please, please, just leave.
Get the car.
(GUN COCKlNG)
Now, you tell your boy
that Wallace ain't no punk.
And the next time
ain't going to be so nice.
(SOFT MUSlC PLAYlNG)
(PEOPLE CHATTERlNG)
(CHUCKLlNG)
You, uh, you okay?
I, um...
Freaked out a little on the elevator.
That happens.
You want to talk about it?
(CELL PHONE RlNGlNG)
Well...
Hold on.
(SlGHlNG)
It's Delinda.
I'll call her back.
Talk to me.
This whole trial
has brought everything back.
And I can't shake him,
my father.
And every time somebody touches me...
Anybody...
I feel him touching me.
And I can't stand it anymore.
Maybe try talking to somebody.
A professional.
There's only one way
I'll ever feel safe from him.
Now, don't say that, Mary.
I think that you should
talk to somebody.
I could make the appointment for you.
Just tell me that you'll go.
It's not going to help.
I think that it will help.
I'm afraid.
Hey, have I not always
been there for you?
Always.
That's right.
Since we were kids.
That's right.
(BOTH CHUCKLlNG)
(CELL PHONE RlNGlNG)
(SNlFFlNG)
Hello.
Well, just keep the kebab
skewers away from the magicians
and the rabbits away
from the meat guys.
I'll be right there.
Meat packers and magicians are
fighting for control of the ballroom.
Naturally.
So I got to go.
Yeah, well, call me.
We should talk more about this.
Yeah.
Thank you.
All right. Bye bye.
I knew you didn't come up
here to say hi. I knew that.
Ed, you've done your time here.
And damn it, so have l!
It's time to retire.
Sam owns the Montecito now.
Let her deal with the business.
Are you nuts or something? I mean
she'll turn this place into a toilet!
No, she won't, Ed.
Will you listen to me?
I am sick of having dinner all alone.
I am sick of sleeping
on the couch and trying
to figure out if you're
going to come home or not.
For God sakes, Ed,
our daughter was kidnapped!
Really? You don't think
I know that?
You don't think I'd rather
play golf every day?
Wake up late, come home
early and be with my family?
Then why don't you?
Because this is...
This is what I'm really good at.
That's why.
(CELL PHONE RlNGlNG)
Hello.
Delinda? What's the matter?
What? Where's Danny?
Okay, look, yeah, just stay
where you are. I'll be right there.
No, I'm coming. Just stay put.
(WOMAN GASPlNG)
MlKE: Danny!
(CROWD APPLAUDlNG)
Danny!
Hey, what's up? Julia chasing you?
It's Delinda. You've got to go home.
She walked in on some
guys robbing your place.
You got to go.
Why didn't... Damn it.
Watch the floor.
Yeah.
(WOMAN WHOOPlNG)
Mike?
Yeah, I'm Mike.
Uh... What can I do to you?
For you. Ha!
What can I do for you?
You don't recognize me.
(CROWD CHATTERlNG)
Julia.
Julia Thomas?
You look...
(JULlA GlGGLlNG)
Wow.
Well, you look pretty "wow"
yourself, Mr. Mike Cannon.
Well, can a girl
get a hug hello?
Yeah, yeah.
(BOTH LAUGHlNG)
(EXCLAlMlNG)
How you been, stranger?
Great.
(CHUCKLlNG)
Again, wow.
Thank you.
How long are you in town?
Just for tonight.
Got to head to New York
tomorrow for a shoot, but...
You're a model?
Photographer.
But I'll take that compliment,
thank you.
Listen, I know our aunties
got together
and set up this dinner
for us tonight but
if it's something
you're not into...
No, no, no. No. I want to catch up.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Good. Me too.
What about 8:30?
Meet me right here?
All right. 8:30 then.
Bye, Mike.
Bye, Julia.
Damn.
(WOMAN WHOOPlNG)
What the...
They're for you.
What?
The rose petals are for you.
Follow them.
(VlOLlN PLAYlNG)
What are you doing?
Sam, I'm in love with you.
My heart aches at
the very thought of you.
Oh.
Well, maybe you just
need an angioplasty?
I don't care if you don't love me.
You can learn.
All I know is that I will die
if I can't have you.
So, please, make me happy.
Oh...
Make me complete.
With all my heart.
Right. It's just...
Will you marry me?
(GASPlNG)
Is this real?
Yeah.
Perfect and flawless, just like you.
I mean...
What do you say?
I just have to get
to this meeting, so...
Do you do you mind if I just hold onto
this for a minute while I think about it?
Take every second you need.
Okay, I'm going to...
I'll let you know.
You're okay, honey. You're okay.
We'll let you know the minute
we hear anything, Mr. Deline.
Yeah, thanks a lot, guys.
Let us know if you need anything.
Thanks again.
(SNlFFlNG)
Delinda!
ED: Where the hell were you?
Are you okay?
I called you.
Oh, she called you. I called.
DANNY: Are you hurt?
No. But she could have been.
Where were you?
I called and called and
called you. Where were you?
Baby, I'm so sorry.
I... I turned my phone off.
Mary needed to talk, and...
You were with Mary?
Yeah. She... She needed me to...
I needed you.
The only thing that matters
right now is that you're okay.
(SlGHlNG)
Do you know who did this?
Listen, honey. There's a car
waiting to take you and Mom
to the house for a little while, okay?
All right. I'm coming.
No.
Just give her some time.
Ed, this is my house. You're not the
burning bush in here. Okay? So just...
Let's just go.
Just let her go to a place
that she knows is safe.
(SlGHlNG)
ED: I'll catch up with
you guys in a little while.
JlLLlAN: Okay.
It's okay.
Who the hell is Wallace?
It's a House of Grath 15-karat,
flawless, princess-cut diamond
set in platinum.
The what?
I don't know the origin of the stone.
What am l? An expert? I just
want to know how much it's worth.
Really?
Over two million!
Wow!
(GlGGLlNG)
Thanks, Mario.
(MOANlNG)
(KNOCKlNG ON DOOR)
Yeah.
Sam, there are two
gentleman here to see you.
Oh, good. It's the upholsterers.
Send them in.
Anthony, show me.
You're such a good boy.
I need a massage later. Send them in.
(HUMMlNG)
Hi.
Great! It's about time. Okay,
I know exactly what I want to do
and I want you guys
to write this down.
You're not writing.
Why aren't you writing?
AGENT 1: Miss Marquez,
we're with the lnternal Revenue Service.
Oh, those hookers were a business
expense. I have the receipts.
We're not here about that, ma'am.
We're here to inform you that
as the new owner of the Montecito,
you have acquired certain debts
accrued by the former owner,
Mr. Casey Manning.
Debts? What kind of debts?
Well, Mr. Manning used the
Montecito as collateral in a number
of real estate and business transactions.
He chose to defer paying taxes on
those transactions until
the 15th of this month.
Okay, fine. So Casey owes taxes.
What are we talking about?
No. The taxes are on his holdings.
And now, since they're your holdings,
with penalties and late fees,
you owe the government
$241 million and change.
$241 million?
And change.
If you are unable to pay these
taxes within the next seven days,
the lRS will have
no choice but to
seize the Montecito
and all the assets attached to it.
AGENT 2: If you have any questions,
feel free to call us.
We look forward to hearing
from you. Have a nice day.
Damn it, Casey!
You mean to tell me you make
a deal with this Vegas gang lord,
you tell him, "l owe you one,"
and then you stiff him?
I was trying to save
a friend's life.
What about Delinda's?
I never thought that it was...
Well, that's your problem.
You're not thinking a lot these days!
You know what? Back off!
I made a mistake and I'll...
A mistake?
She had a gun at her head!
A gun at her head! She's barely
getting over this kidnapping thing.
No, no. No, no...
And she had a gun at her head!
She got kidnapped because of you,
not because of me.
Now, you've got to believe me when
I tell you that there is nothing
more important to me than
your daughter's safety. Nothing.
All right.
Look, she's going to stay with us,
for a little while
until we can figure this thing out.
No, Ed. No.
Listen, I'm not...
I'm not asking you, Danny.
Now, tomorrow a bunch of guys
are going to come over.
They're going to wire this place for
alarms. And then we'll talk after that.
Well, I want to see her.
No. Just go back to work
and we'll talk tomorrow!
Now,
where can I get
this Wallace guy?
No. He's mine.
Ed.
I said that I got it.
Do not disappoint me again.
All this could be yours for only
$241 million and change.
MAN: Yes, Miss Marquez?
Connect me to Vince Peterson's
room please?
He just checked out of his suite.
He's what?
He just checked out.
(ELEVATOR BELL RlNGlNG)
Vince.
Where are you going?
I'm leaving. I can't take the pain
of not having you anymore, Sam. Goodbye.
No, no, no, no. Oh, don't leave.
Listen. It just, uh...
Takes me a while to warm up to people.
Stay.
Sam, you...
You broke my heart.
Goodbye.
Vince. Wait.
If I can't have you
then I don't want this.
Sam.
Yes.
I'll stay on one condition.
What's that?
You have dinner with me.
I'd be honored.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
JULlA: So Vegas...
Yeah.
So, I came back to Vegas
and it just felt right.
The excitement of it all.
Felt like I belonged here.
Well, it fits you.
Thank you.
You know, when you get some time off,
you should come visit me in LA.
I'd like that.
Yeah.
Me too.
Yeah.
So, Mr. Mike Cannon.
Mmm.
When did you get so fine?
Me?
Please. When did all of this happen?
Well, I guess I just
grew into my body.
That is for sure.
Here you go.
For you.
Thank you.
So, would you like to?
Like to what?
Grow into this body?
Check!
ED: How's Delinda?
She's sleeping.
I don't want her going back
to that condo.
That's okay, honey. Look, I got security
wiring that joint tomorrow like,
Iike it was Fort Knox.
I don't care.
I want her here with us.
Okay, look, it's been a really long day.
Why don't you just get some sleep.
We'll talk about it tomorrow.
No, Ed. We're going
to talk about it right now.
All this crap.
All of it, the kidnapping, the break-in,
happens because of what you do,
and who you are.
What the hell are you talking about?
"Who I am"? I mean, it's my fault?
Yes, Ed. It's your fault.
First the ClA, now this?
I mean, why are we here?
Answer me that.
Why are we still in Vegas?
It's our home.
No, Ed.
This is not a home.
This is some kind of rest stop
between you and that damn casino.
Hey, what do you think I bust my ass
for every single day? For you!
And that "damn casino" didn't bother
you too much when you got your cars
and your clothes and the houses.
Where do you think that crap comes from?
None of that matters to me, Ed.
You and Delinda.
That's all I care about.
What would you like me to do?
I want you to leave that job,
so we can leave this damn
city behind and start over.
I just can't do that.
(SlGHlNG)
Where you going?
I'm sleeping with Delinda.
I'm tired of sleeping in that bed alone.
(MOANlNG)
That was incredible.
I can't feel my feet.
(BOTH GlGGLlNG)
So how is it
that a man as fine as you,
and as sweet as you,
managed to stay single all this time?
Well, I guess I was always
waiting for the right girl
to come along.
Oh, she came along all right.
Twice.
(GlGGLlNG)
So,
you think you got anything
left in that cannon,
Cannon?
Oh, hell, yeah.
(JULlA GlGGLlNG)
(MOANlNG)
Oh, yeah.
That feels so good, Peanut Head.
(MOANlNG)
What?
What's wrong?
You just called me Peanut Head.
So?
Well, my head don't
look like no damn peanut.
Mmm, but it does.
Well, what if I said your weave
made you look like a ho?
A ho?
That's right, a ho.
See, I'm not a little kid anymore.
And I sure as hell
ain't no damn peanut head.
Is that what this is about, Mike?
Some silly fight we had
when we were kids?
That you never apologized for.
Know what, Julia?
Maybe you should leave.
Mike.
My room.
Fine, I'm gone.
Mike.
Mike, don't leave.
Mike, I'm sorry.
Sorry for what?
I'm sorry for calling you Peanut Head.
And I'm sorry for hitting you
and I'm sorry for never saying sorry.
But just so you know,
I called you Peanut Head because
I think your head is beautiful.
And I hit you because
I had the worst crush on you.
And I never said sorry because
you'd always run away from me.
You think my head is beautiful?
Uh-uh, I think it's perfect.
You really had a crush on me?
The worst. Still do.
But if you ever call me a ho again,
I'm going to knock your ass out.
(GlGGLlNG)
(PEOPLE SHOUTlNG)
(WOMAN YELLlNG)
(GUNS COCKlNG)
I didn't expect to see your ass
around here any time soon.
It's over.
I want to hear you say it.
Nothing's over till Wallace says it is.
No, it's over.
And hear this. Any of you guys
come near my girlfriend again,
I will kill all of you.
So now you're coming down here
making threats and such, huh?
You got some giant,
big balls on you, McCoy.
You see, normally someone
do me like you did,
they don't wake up ever.
And that goes for anybody
in the house with them.
I made an exception for you.
But don't think for one moment
that means it's over 'cause you say.
Then what makes it done?
Say ten large.
To the "United Negro Ain't Never
Been To College" fund.
You will not get a dime from me, dude.
Or we could just beat you down.
And that makes this done?
That's what that makes it.
(CHUCKLlNG)
(SlGHlNG)
Like I said, giant, big balls.
Beat that ass.

There are sensors on all the doors
and windows that are monitored
24 hours a day by the Montecito.
This is a GPS panic button.
If at any time you think you need help,
just press this button.
We'll come to you
no matter where you are.
Okay.
Any questions?
No.
If you need anything,
you just call me.
Thank you, Jack.
You're welcome.
Thanks.
(SlGHlNG)
(DOOR KNOB RATTLlNG)
(KNOCKlNG)
You changed the locks.
Oh, my God, Danny, what happened to you?
I had...
(COUGHlNG)
...to take care
of some unfinished business.
Business?
What the hell kind of business?
Just...
Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah.
What have you done?
I'm going to call the doctor.
No, no.
Listen, D, I promise that I'm never going
to let anything like that happen to you again.
I love you
and you're all that matters to me.
I love you too.
I hope so.
(GROANlNG)
(GRUNTlNG)
I'm going to go call the doctor.
Yeah. Please do.
I'll be back in two weeks.
Can't wait.
Me neither.
Is it me or do we have something here?
We definitely have something here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay. Two weeks.
Yep.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm here with a proposition.
Uh... Not now, Sam.
Oh, please just hear me out.
I know I'm a smart businesswoman,
but I'm also smart enough
to know my limitations.
So?
Okay. So here it is.
How would you like to be my
copartner in the Montecito
for only 300 million?
Only 300 million?
Yeah. It's a bargain.
I mean this hotel and casino's worth
at least ten times that amount.
Right.
I tell you what though. Why wouldn't
I just wait a week until the lRS
seizes this place and then I can buy
it in private auction for about half
of what you're offering?
Is that a no?
Yeah. It's certainly
not personal, Sam.
Business.
You know I'm not going to let
the lRS take this hotel.
They're not.
I am.
It's a beautiful day, Mitch.
You okay? You look taller.
Life is good, my friend.
Life is good.
Yeah?
So why'd they page me?
Well, we had some sort of camera
glitch in the south elevator bank.
All the cameras in the elevator cars went
out for a little over three minutes.
Three minutes?
Mmm-hmm.
But they're back on?
Yeah. We're fine now.
Electrical says it
was some sort of overload.
Okay. Well, keep an eye on it.
Let me know if it happens again.
(LAUGHlNG)
It's a beautiful day, folks!
I'm so glad you decided to stay.
You have no idea.
Did you mean it when you said
you'd like to make me
the happiest woman in the world?
You know I did.
I'd do anything for you, Sam.
What if what I wanted was big?
Really, really big?
There is nothing outside
of my reach that you cannot have.
What is it that you want?
Do you know I was
left this hotel?
Unfortunate about your ex-husband, yeah.
Yes. I was also left
with a mountain of debt.
And if I can't pay the money,
the government's going
to take this hotel from me.
And so you would like me
to pay off
this $241-million debt?
How did you know that number?
Sam, my world is finance.
No number that large
escapes my radar.
So what do you think?
I think I just bought you a hotel.
Really?
Mmm.
You're kidding.
Like I said, anything you want.
A toast.
To a beautiful partnership.
To a beautiful partnership.
Whoo!
That really goes right to your head.
What did you put in there?
(HUMMlNG)
Just hit this button right here.
You'll have total surveillance
access to the whole place.
Oh, that's great.
Thanks a lot, huh, Jack?
All right, Mr. Deline.
What the hell happened to you?
Wallace.
It's done.
I took care of it just like
I said I would. It's over.
(SlGHlNG)
You all right?
I'm fine.
Look, um...
I'm sorry I blew up
at you like that. You know?
You know what? It's all right.
I do need you to understand something.
Delinda and I are going to need
some space to live our lives.
To make mistakes, to have fights.
You know, basically just be a couple.
What's your problem?
Well,
you and Jillian can be suffocating.
She's my daughter.
You know. I just...
Yeah, I know. And I know
it's been a tough year,
but this relationship's never going
to work under this kind of scrutiny.
Okay.
Tell you what. We'll, uh...
We'll back off.
Thank you, Ed.
Okay.
So, we're...
Yeah. Yeah, we're fine.
All right.
Good. Go home, please.
Clean yourself up just a little.
Hey, D.
Hi, baby. You feeling better?
Yeah. Pretty good.
Had a little chat with your dad.
Lucky you. How'd it go?
Well, he said he's going to back off.
Heard that before.
No. I think that he really means it.
Great.
Son of a bitch.
Well, I got a job offer
from another casino, Ed.
Good. So, turn it down.
I'm thinking maybe
I should take this one.
Come on. You got to be kidding me.
You're with me twenty years.
You're going to quit me now?
This is no joke, Ed.
No, it's not a joke.
I know what it is though. It's...
You're looking to shake me down. Is that
right, Tommy Boy?
Well, okay.
I'll tell you what.
I'll give you a little bump. How's that?
Ed, how you going to do that?
The word is Casey got whacked
because he was leveraged to the gills.
Now, the Montecito is
being foreclosed on.
Everybody's going to lose their job.
Ed, I got kids in college.
Do what you got to do, okay?
But listen to me.
I'm going to wind up buying
this joint outright. Okay?
So that's how it's going to be?
We'll talk later.
You made your choice.
It's not like that, Jillian.
Yeah, it is like that, Ed.
So, I'm making my choice.
Jillian.
Jillian!
(GROANlNG)
(WOMEN CHATTERlNG)
I told you to stay out of our lives.
Las Vegas.
No, I was thinking about more
like kidnapping and robbery.
Daddy!
Delinda!
Please help me!
(GROANlNG)
(SlGHlNG)
Said something about a monster
whale coming in tonight.
Mr. Peterson.
Yes.
Sam Marquez from the Montecito.
They want you to testify
against your father.
She was always lucky
to have a friend like you.
He got off.
I told you if you ever came
near her again, I would kill you.
How much for that.38?
I'm looking for Wallace.
Why you calling on me?
I need information.
What do I get out of it?
I could owe you.
Casey's dead.
It seems he's left
you the hotel and casino.
You own the Montecito.
SAM: As the new owner of the Montecito,
I want to make some changes around here.
Whatever it costs doesn't matter.
I want new carpets everywhere,
no reds, no greens.
Green reminds people
that they're losing money
and I lost my virginity in the
backseat of Nick Steinbach's car.
That red Pinto.
But he was hot.
Sam.
Wait there.
Hello, Mr. Peterson.
Hello, Sam.
You get my flowers?
I did, and the car,
and the necklace and the room key.
Marry me right now, Sam.
I'll make you the happiest
woman in the world.
How much have you lost?
Just under two million.
Ask me again at five.
Hmm.
How about dinner tonight?
A cocktail?
Always keep them begging for more.
Mmm-hmm.
Write that down.
I want new felt on
all of these tabletops.
Gold.
Maybe with a picture of my dog Reggie.
And I want a new design on
all of these casino chips.
Oh, how about putting an "S"
on all of the chips?
For Sam.
That's a great idea.
Give yourself a raise.
Thanks.
I'm kidding. You're fired.
What?
I'm just wielding my power. Play along.
Danny, Mike, I want all the employees
to salute me whenever they
see me on the casino floor.
Can you see to that?
Salute you?
Yeah.
Or the boys can salute me
and the girls can curtsy.
Like that.
Uh, I don't think that I can...
I'm just kidding.
(GlGGLlNG)
I think. I don't know yet.
Is this fun or what?
It is, I think.
Anyways, I'll see you guys later.
Hey, could you guys find out
how much it's going to cost
to change that big sign
out front from "The Montecito"
to "The Samecito"?
You write that down?
Yes.
"The Samecito"?
Yeah, she's just drunk with power.
She'll sober up in a few days.
If not we may have to enroll
her in "a pain in my ass" anonymous.
Hey, what are you and Delinda
doing tonight for dinner?
Uh... We don't have any plans. Why?
I need a wingman.
More like a wing couple.
I got an old family friend
in town for a couple of days
and my Aunt Gladys told her I'd take
her to dinner while she was here.
Why do you need me and Delinda?
Well, I haven't seen her in like
20 years and last time I saw her...
Ah. You slept with her.
No. No, no, nothing like that.
Then what?
Well...
(SlGHlNG)
What?
Let's just say, uh...
(MURMURlNG) She beat me up.
She what?
She beat me up.
The great Mike Cannon got
his ass kicked by a girl?
Not just any girl.
Julia Thomas, this girl was big...
Iron Mike Cannon?
Would you keep it down, man?
I got to meet this girl.
What the hell happened between you two?
Well, she said I had a peanut head.
So I told her...
Ooh.
Well, that's just not cool.
You don't say that to girls.
I know this now.
So, when I woke up, all the kids in the
neighborhood were laughing at me.
When you woke up? She...
She knocked you out?
Yes.
She knocked you out?
Yeah.
It was a lucky punch.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
You know, don't worry about it.
We'll, we'll go to dinner with you.
Cool. Thanks, and uh...
You'll keep this between us?
Of course. Absolutely, why would
I say something like that?
Thank you.
It's embarrassing.
Great. Thanks, Danny.
Mike Cannon, a.k.a. "Peanut Head",
got his ass kicked by a girl!
Ah! Yeah, well...
I not a kid anymore. I'm a grown man.
I got a beautiful head.
(CROWD CHATTERlNG)
I got a nice head.
SAM: You're late.
Sorry, I'm what?
Late.
Sam, get out of my chair.
Now, if I own the hotel,
isn't this really my chair?
Three... Two...
I can get my own chair.
Sam?
What, uh, exactly are you doing here?
Well, if I'm going to take the Sam...
If we're going to take
the Montecito to the next level,
well, don't you think that I should be more
integral in the day-to-day operations?
Integral?
Hmm.
I see.
Let me explain something to you, Sam.
Uh, casino owners do not run casinos.
Casino Presidents run casinos,
because it takes experience, skill.
Relationships, that's what makes
a casino work and that's what I do.
That's what you do?
Yes. Yes, it is. And you...
You lure rich suckers into the casino
to lose millions of dollars.
So, you continue to do that.
And now if you'll excuse me,
I've got a lot of work to do.
This conversation is not over.
Yes, it is.
I want you to start wearing suits.
New policy.
Get out.
I'm going to get you a timecard.
This conversation's not over.
What are you eating?
I know what you're thinking.
It looks like a corndog, but it's not.
It's a corn burger.
With chili and cheese I think.
It's fantastic. You want to try?
Uh, no.
You don't know
what you're missing.
Yeah, I think I do.
Honey, listen. Has your dad
said anything to you?
About what?
Retiring.
No! And he never will, I mean he doesn't
know how do to anything but work.
Oh, you want him to retire.
Don't you think it's my turn
to do what I want to do?
I've earned that, right?
Of course, Mom, but Daddy's
never going to leave here.
I mean, what else would he do?
(SlGHlNG)
Anyhoo, I got to run. I'm going
to surprise Danny with lunch.
Good luck.
Hey.
Oh!
Hey. Danny.
(GASPlNG)
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
I'm just a little...
Fine. What's up?
I just thought you were
going to take a few days off.
Spend it with your sisters.
Yeah, it's my own fault. I booked, uh,
two conventions in the same
ballroom at the same time.
The meat packers,
and the, uh...
(MOANlNG)
Ah! Meat and magic under one roof.
As it should be.
Yeah. Yeah, l, I can't believe
I double booked. You know?
I don't know where
my head's been lately.
You're just under a
lot of stress right now.
Everything's going to be great.
I promise.
Mmm-hmm.
Okay.
You let me know if there's
anything I can do?
I'm fine.
I know you're fine.
Okay, I got to go.
Uh-huh.
Hey! What?
I thought that you had the day off.
What are you doing here?
Did you just have a corndog?
Corn burger.
They're awesome.
Ah.
Anyway, I was just out
shopping with my mom
and she wanted to come
by and talk to my dad
so I thought I would surprise
you by bringing you lunch.
Corn bacon?
No.
And thank you very much.
I got you the Miller
sandwich from Canter's.
The Miller? Beautiful! Thank you.
Oh, uh, we're going to dinner
tonight with Mikey if that's cool.
What's the occasion?
You're not going to believe this, but...
No.
No.
I'm not kidding you.
(BOTH GlGGLlNG)
MAN: Yes!
You told her. You told her. Huh?
Told her what?
About Julia.
No. I told her about dinner.
Hey, sorry. What time?
8:30.
Oh, good. I'll see you at home.
Later, Peanut Head.
(DELlNDA SNlGGERlNG)
I... She guessed that.
Who guesses Peanut Head?
So what's going on?
Are we hiring some new security staff?
Uh, not that I know of. Why?
Well, there's a couple brothers waiting
for you upstairs. Real gangster types.
They said they had
an interview with you.
That's news to me.
I'll take care of it.
You want me up there?
No. No, no, no, but if you
could give me Julia's number
in case I need her to knock somebody
out for me, that would be great.
That's cold, man.
It's only going to get colder.
What are you doing here?
Shopping with Delinda and I just
thought I'd stop in and say hi.
Really. Hi.
Okay. So, uh, what did I do?
Nothing.
Is this about the
hair in the shower drain.
Because if it is,
I told you a hundred times
there's nothing I can do
about that.
My father happened to be a very
hairy guy and it's a gene thing.
So, I mean,
blame it on my father.
Ed, it's not about hair
in drains.
I just thought maybe we could have
a nice conversation about our future.
Our future?
Mmm-hmm.
Hey, fellas. Danny McCoy.
They call me Piper.
Nice to meet you.
And this here's Little Kev.
Little Kev. What can I do for you?
Little Kev here needs a job.
You see he just got out the
pen and his punk-ass PO says
he needs a job or he's going back.
Oh, well, I'm sorry to hear
about that, Little Kev.
But, uh, why are you guys coming to me?
Wallace said you could hook it up.
He said you owe him.
Wallace?
So you guys work for Wallace?
Little Kev is Wallace's cousin.
Now, all he needs is one of those
time cards you all work with.
You'll get someone to punch
him in and out every day.
And if his PO calls,
you just tell him everything's cool.
Listen, guys, my hands are tied here.
I can't just bring an ex-con
on to work in a casino.
I ain't going to be doing no work.
Yeah, I get that, really,
but there's nothing that I can do.
The state has restrictions
about hiring felons in casinos.
I can't do it.
Just tell Wallace it's got
to be something else. I'm sorry.
What...
Wallace said you were straight.
Ain't going to be happy
to hear none of this.
Let's bounce.
Be seeing you soon, McCoy.
Oh. One more.
MAN 1: Whoa, wait! Hold it.
MAN 2: Hey, you made it.
WOMAN 1: Oh, hey!
Could you hold the elevator?
MAN 3: Got room there?
(WOMAN CHATTERlNG)
MAN 3: Thank you.
MAN 4: Hey, you got room for one more?
(PEOPLE CHATTERlNG)
(HEART BEATlNG)

Excuse me.
(BREATHlNG HEAVlLY)
(GASPlNG)
Oh, my God.
MAN: Let's go.
Don't move, bitch.
Please, please, just leave.
Get the car.
(GUN COCKlNG)
Now, you tell your boy
that Wallace ain't no punk.
And the next time
ain't going to be so nice.
(SOFT MUSlC PLAYlNG)
(PEOPLE CHATTERlNG)
(CHUCKLlNG)
You, uh, you okay?
I, um...
Freaked out a little on the elevator.
That happens.
You want to talk about it?
(CELL PHONE RlNGlNG)
Well...
Hold on.
(SlGHlNG)
It's Delinda.
I'll call her back.
Talk to me.
This whole trial
has brought everything back.
And I can't shake him,
my father.
And every time somebody touches me...
Anybody...
I feel him touching me.
And I can't stand it anymore.
Maybe try talking to somebody.
A professional.
There's only one way
I'll ever feel safe from him.
Now, don't say that, Mary.
I think that you should
talk to somebody.
I could make the appointment for you.
Just tell me that you'll go.
It's not going to help.
I think that it will help.
I'm afraid.
Hey, have I not always
been there for you?
Always.
That's right.
Since we were kids.
That's right.
(BOTH CHUCKLlNG)
(CELL PHONE RlNGlNG)
(SNlFFlNG)
Hello.
Well, just keep the kebab
skewers away from the magicians
and the rabbits away
from the meat guys.
I'll be right there.
Meat packers and magicians are
fighting for control of the ballroom.
Naturally.
So I got to go.
Yeah, well, call me.
We should talk more about this.
Yeah.
Thank you.
All right. Bye bye.
I knew you didn't come up
here to say hi. I knew that.
Ed, you've done your time here.
And damn it, so have l!
It's time to retire.
Sam owns the Montecito now.
Let her deal with the business.
Are you nuts or something? I mean
she'll turn this place into a toilet!
No, she won't, Ed.
Will you listen to me?
I am sick of having dinner all alone.
I am sick of sleeping
on the couch and trying
to figure out if you're
going to come home or not.
For God sakes, Ed,
our daughter was kidnapped!
Really? You don't think
I know that?
You don't think I'd rather
play golf every day?
Wake up late, come home
early and be with my family?
Then why don't you?
Because this is...
This is what I'm really good at.
That's why.
(CELL PHONE RlNGlNG)
Hello.
Delinda? What's the matter?
What? Where's Danny?
Okay, look, yeah, just stay
where you are. I'll be right there.
No, I'm coming. Just stay put.
(WOMAN GASPlNG)
MlKE: Danny!
(CROWD APPLAUDlNG)
Danny!
Hey, what's up? Julia chasing you?
It's Delinda. You've got to go home.
She walked in on some
guys robbing your place.
You got to go.
Why didn't... Damn it.
Watch the floor.
Yeah.
(WOMAN WHOOPlNG)
Mike?
Yeah, I'm Mike.
Uh... What can I do to you?
For you. Ha!
What can I do for you?
You don't recognize me.
(CROWD CHATTERlNG)
Julia.
Julia Thomas?
You look...
(JULlA GlGGLlNG)
Wow.
Well, you look pretty "wow"
yourself, Mr. Mike Cannon.
Well, can a girl
get a hug hello?
Yeah, yeah.
(BOTH LAUGHlNG)
(EXCLAlMlNG)
How you been, stranger?
Great.
(CHUCKLlNG)
Again, wow.
Thank you.
How long are you in town?
Just for tonight.
Got to head to New York
tomorrow for a shoot, but...
You're a model?
Photographer.
But I'll take that compliment,
thank you.
Listen, I know our aunties
got together
and set up this dinner
for us tonight but
if it's something
you're not into...
No, no, no. No. I want to catch up.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Good. Me too.
What about 8:30?
Meet me right here?
All right. 8:30 then.
Bye, Mike.
Bye, Julia.
Damn.
(WOMAN WHOOPlNG)
What the...
They're for you.
What?
The rose petals are for you.
Follow them.
(VlOLlN PLAYlNG)
What are you doing?
Sam, I'm in love with you.
My heart aches at
the very thought of you.
Oh.
Well, maybe you just
need an angioplasty?
I don't care if you don't love me.
You can learn.
All I know is that I will die
if I can't have you.
So, please, make me happy.
Oh...
Make me complete.
With all my heart.
Right. It's just...
Will you marry me?
(GASPlNG)
Is this real?
Yeah.
Perfect and flawless, just like you.
I mean...
What do you say?
I just have to get
to this meeting, so...
Do you do you mind if I just hold onto
this for a minute while I think about it?
Take every second you need.
Okay, I'm going to...
I'll let you know.
You're okay, honey. You're okay.
We'll let you know the minute
we hear anything, Mr. Deline.
Yeah, thanks a lot, guys.
Let us know if you need anything.
Thanks again.
(SNlFFlNG)
Delinda!
ED: Where the hell were you?
Are you okay?
I called you.
Oh, she called you. I called.
DANNY: Are you hurt?
No. But she could have been.
Where were you?
I called and called and
called you. Where were you?
Baby, I'm so sorry.
I... I turned my phone off.
Mary needed to talk, and...
You were with Mary?
Yeah. She... She needed me to...
I needed you.
The only thing that matters
right now is that you're okay.
(SlGHlNG)
Do you know who did this?
Listen, honey. There's a car
waiting to take you and Mom
to the house for a little while, okay?
All right. I'm coming.
No.
Just give her some time.
Ed, this is my house. You're not the
burning bush in here. Okay? So just...
Let's just go.
Just let her go to a place
that she knows is safe.
(SlGHlNG)
ED: I'll catch up with
you guys in a little while.
JlLLlAN: Okay.
It's okay.
Who the hell is Wallace?
It's a House of Grath 15-karat,
flawless, princess-cut diamond
set in platinum.
The what?
I don't know the origin of the stone.
What am l? An expert? I just
want to know how much it's worth.
Really?
Over two million!
Wow!
(GlGGLlNG)
Thanks, Mario.
(MOANlNG)
(KNOCKlNG ON DOOR)
Yeah.
Sam, there are two
gentleman here to see you.
Oh, good. It's the upholsterers.
Send them in.
Anthony, show me.
You're such a good boy.
I need a massage later. Send them in.
(HUMMlNG)
Hi.
Great! It's about time. Okay,
I know exactly what I want to do
and I want you guys
to write this down.
You're not writing.
Why aren't you writing?
AGENT 1: Miss Marquez,
we're with the lnternal Revenue Service.
Oh, those hookers were a business
expense. I have the receipts.
We're not here about that, ma'am.
We're here to inform you that
as the new owner of the Montecito,
you have acquired certain debts
accrued by the former owner,
Mr. Casey Manning.
Debts? What kind of debts?
Well, Mr. Manning used the
Montecito as collateral in a number
of real estate and business transactions.
He chose to defer paying taxes on
those transactions until
the 15th of this month.
Okay, fine. So Casey owes taxes.
What are we talking about?
No. The taxes are on his holdings.
And now, since they're your holdings,
with penalties and late fees,
you owe the government
$241 million and change.
$241 million?
And change.
If you are unable to pay these
taxes within the next seven days,
the lRS will have
no choice but to
seize the Montecito
and all the assets attached to it.
AGENT 2: If you have any questions,
feel free to call us.
We look forward to hearing
from you. Have a nice day.
Damn it, Casey!
You mean to tell me you make
a deal with this Vegas gang lord,
you tell him, "l owe you one,"
and then you stiff him?
I was trying to save
a friend's life.
What about Delinda's?
I never thought that it was...
Well, that's your problem.
You're not thinking a lot these days!
You know what? Back off!
I made a mistake and I'll...
A mistake?
She had a gun at her head!
A gun at her head! She's barely
getting over this kidnapping thing.
No, no. No, no...
And she had a gun at her head!
She got kidnapped because of you,
not because of me.
Now, you've got to believe me when
I tell you that there is nothing
more important to me than
your daughter's safety. Nothing.
All right.
Look, she's going to stay with us,
for a little while
until we can figure this thing out.
No, Ed. No.
Listen, I'm not...
I'm not asking you, Danny.
Now, tomorrow a bunch of guys
are going to come over.
They're going to wire this place for
alarms. And then we'll talk after that.
Well, I want to see her.
No. Just go back to work
and we'll talk tomorrow!
Now,
where can I get
this Wallace guy?
No. He's mine.
Ed.
I said that I got it.
Do not disappoint me again.
All this could be yours for only
$241 million and change.
MAN: Yes, Miss Marquez?
Connect me to Vince Peterson's
room please?
He just checked out of his suite.
He's what?
He just checked out.
(ELEVATOR BELL RlNGlNG)
Vince.
Where are you going?
I'm leaving. I can't take the pain
of not having you anymore, Sam. Goodbye.
No, no, no, no. Oh, don't leave.
Listen. It just, uh...
Takes me a while to warm up to people.
Stay.
Sam, you...
You broke my heart.
Goodbye.
Vince. Wait.
If I can't have you
then I don't want this.
Sam.
Yes.
I'll stay on one condition.
What's that?
You have dinner with me.
I'd be honored.
Okay.
Okay.
All right.
JULlA: So Vegas...
Yeah.
So, I came back to Vegas
and it just felt right.
The excitement of it all.
Felt like I belonged here.
Well, it fits you.
Thank you.
You know, when you get some time off,
you should come visit me in LA.
I'd like that.
Yeah.
Me too.
Yeah.
So, Mr. Mike Cannon.
Mmm.
When did you get so fine?
Me?
Please. When did all of this happen?
Well, I guess I just
grew into my body.
That is for sure.
Here you go.
For you.
Thank you.
So, would you like to?
Like to what?
Grow into this body?
Check!
ED: How's Delinda?
She's sleeping.
I don't want her going back
to that condo.
That's okay, honey. Look, I got security
wiring that joint tomorrow like,
Iike it was Fort Knox.
I don't care.
I want her here with us.
Okay, look, it's been a really long day.
Why don't you just get some sleep.
We'll talk about it tomorrow.
No, Ed. We're going
to talk about it right now.
All this crap.
All of it, the kidnapping, the break-in,
happens because of what you do,
and who you are.
What the hell are you talking about?
"Who I am"? I mean, it's my fault?
Yes, Ed. It's your fault.
First the ClA, now this?
I mean, why are we here?
Answer me that.
Why are we still in Vegas?
It's our home.
No, Ed.
This is not a home.
This is some kind of rest stop
between you and that damn casino.
Hey, what do you think I bust my ass
for every single day? For you!
And that "damn casino" didn't bother
you too much when you got your cars
and your clothes and the houses.
Where do you think that crap comes from?
None of that matters to me, Ed.
You and Delinda.
That's all I care about.
What would you like me to do?
I want you to leave that job,
so we can leave this damn
city behind and start over.
I just can't do that.
(SlGHlNG)
Where you going?
I'm sleeping with Delinda.
I'm tired of sleeping in that bed alone.
(MOANlNG)
That was incredible.
I can't feel my feet.
(BOTH GlGGLlNG)
So how is it
that a man as fine as you,
and as sweet as you,
managed to stay single all this time?
Well, I guess I was always
waiting for the right girl
to come along.
Oh, she came along all right.
Twice.
(GlGGLlNG)
So,
you think you got anything
left in that cannon,
Cannon?
Oh, hell, yeah.
(JULlA GlGGLlNG)
(MOANlNG)
Oh, yeah.
That feels so good, Peanut Head.
(MOANlNG)
What?
What's wrong?
You just called me Peanut Head.
So?
Well, my head don't
look like no damn peanut.
Mmm, but it does.
Well, what if I said your weave
made you look like a ho?
A ho?
That's right, a ho.
See, I'm not a little kid anymore.
And I sure as hell
ain't no damn peanut head.
Is that what this is about, Mike?
Some silly fight we had
when we were kids?
That you never apologized for.
Know what, Julia?
Maybe you should leave.
Mike.
My room.
Fine, I'm gone.
Mike.
Mike, don't leave.
Mike, I'm sorry.
Sorry for what?
I'm sorry for calling you Peanut Head.
And I'm sorry for hitting you
and I'm sorry for never saying sorry.
But just so you know,
I called you Peanut Head because
I think your head is beautiful.
And I hit you because
I had the worst crush on you.
And I never said sorry because
you'd always run away from me.
You think my head is beautiful?
Uh-uh, I think it's perfect.
You really had a crush on me?
The worst. Still do.
But if you ever call me a ho again,
I'm going to knock your ass out.
(GlGGLlNG)
(PEOPLE SHOUTlNG)
(WOMAN YELLlNG)
(GUNS COCKlNG)
I didn't expect to see your ass
around here any time soon.
It's over.
I want to hear you say it.
Nothing's over till Wallace says it is.
No, it's over.
And hear this. Any of you guys
come near my girlfriend again,
I will kill all of you.
So now you're coming down here
making threats and such, huh?
You got some giant,
big balls on you, McCoy.
You see, normally someone
do me like you did,
they don't wake up ever.
And that goes for anybody
in the house with them.
I made an exception for you.
But don't think for one moment
that means it's over 'cause you say.
Then what makes it done?
Say ten large.
To the "United Negro Ain't Never
Been To College" fund.
You will not get a dime from me, dude.
Or we could just beat you down.
And that makes this done?
That's what that makes it.
(CHUCKLlNG)
(SlGHlNG)
Like I said, giant, big balls.
Beat that ass.

There are sensors on all the doors
and windows that are monitored
24 hours a day by the Montecito.
This is a GPS panic button.
If at any time you think you need help,
just press this button.
We'll come to you
no matter where you are.
Okay.
Any questions?
No.
If you need anything,
you just call me.
Thank you, Jack.
You're welcome.
Thanks.
(SlGHlNG)
(DOOR KNOB RATTLlNG)
(KNOCKlNG)
You changed the locks.
Oh, my God, Danny, what happened to you?
I had...
(COUGHlNG)
...to take care
of some unfinished business.
Business?
What the hell kind of business?
Just...
Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah.
What have you done?
I'm going to call the doctor.
No, no.
Listen, D, I promise that I'm never going
to let anything like that happen to you again.
I love you
and you're all that matters to me.
I love you too.
I hope so.
(GROANlNG)
(GRUNTlNG)
I'm going to go call the doctor.
Yeah. Please do.
I'll be back in two weeks.
Can't wait.
Me neither.
Is it me or do we have something here?
We definitely have something here.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay. Two weeks.
Yep.
Hi.
Hi.
I'm here with a proposition.
Uh... Not now, Sam.
Oh, please just hear me out.
I know I'm a smart businesswoman,
but I'm also smart enough
to know my limitations.
So?
Okay. So here it is.
How would you like to be my
copartner in the Montecito
for only 300 million?
Only 300 million?
Yeah. It's a bargain.
I mean this hotel and casino's worth
at least ten times that amount.
Right.
I tell you what though. Why wouldn't
I just wait a week until the lRS
seizes this place and then I can buy
it in private auction for about half
of what you're offering?
Is that a no?
Yeah. It's certainly
not personal, Sam.
Business.
You know I'm not going to let
the lRS take this hotel.
They're not.
I am.
It's a beautiful day, Mitch.
You okay? You look taller.
Life is good, my friend.
Life is good.
Yeah?
So why'd they page me?
Well, we had some sort of camera
glitch in the south elevator bank.
All the cameras in the elevator cars went
out for a little over three minutes.
Three minutes?
Mmm-hmm.
But they're back on?
Yeah. We're fine now.
Electrical says it
was some sort of overload.
Okay. Well, keep an eye on it.
Let me know if it happens again.
(LAUGHlNG)
It's a beautiful day, folks!
I'm so glad you decided to stay.
You have no idea.
Did you mean it when you said
you'd like to make me
the happiest woman in the world?
You know I did.
I'd do anything for you, Sam.
What if what I wanted was big?
Really, really big?
There is nothing outside
of my reach that you cannot have.
What is it that you want?
Do you know I was
left this hotel?
Unfortunate about your ex-husband, yeah.
Yes. I was also left
with a mountain of debt.
And if I can't pay the money,
the government's going
to take this hotel from me.
And so you would like me
to pay off
this $241-million debt?
How did you know that number?
Sam, my world is finance.
No number that large
escapes my radar.
So what do you think?
I think I just bought you a hotel.
Really?
Mmm.
You're kidding.
Like I said, anything you want.
A toast.
To a beautiful partnership.
To a beautiful partnership.
Whoo!
That really goes right to your head.
What did you put in there?
(HUMMlNG)
Just hit this button right here.
You'll have total surveillance
access to the whole place.
Oh, that's great.
Thanks a lot, huh, Jack?
All right, Mr. Deline.
What the hell happened to you?
Wallace.
It's done.
I took care of it just like
I said I would. It's over.
(SlGHlNG)
You all right?
I'm fine.
Look, um...
I'm sorry I blew up
at you like that. You know?
You know what? It's all right.
I do need you to understand something.
Delinda and I are going to need
some space to live our lives.
To make mistakes, to have fights.
You know, basically just be a couple.
What's your problem?
Well,
you and Jillian can be suffocating.
She's my daughter.
You know. I just...
Yeah, I know. And I know
it's been a tough year,
but this relationship's never going
to work under this kind of scrutiny.
Okay.
Tell you what. We'll, uh...
We'll back off.
Thank you, Ed.
Okay.
So, we're...
Yeah. Yeah, we're fine.
All right.
Good. Go home, please.
Clean yourself up just a little.
Hey, D.
Hi, baby. You feeling better?
Yeah. Pretty good.
Had a little chat with your dad.
Lucky you. How'd it go?
Well, he said he's going to back off.
Heard that before.
No. I think that he really means it.
Great.
Son of a bitch.
Well, I got a job offer
from another casino, Ed.
Good. So, turn it down.
I'm thinking maybe
I should take this one.
Come on. You got to be kidding me.
You're with me twenty years.
You're going to quit me now?
This is no joke, Ed.
No, it's not a joke.
I know what it is though. It's...
You're looking to shake me down. Is that
right, Tommy Boy?
Well, okay.
I'll tell you what.
I'll give you a little bump. How's that?
Ed, how you going to do that?
The word is Casey got whacked
because he was leveraged to the gills.
Now, the Montecito is
being foreclosed on.
Everybody's going to lose their job.
Ed, I got kids in college.
Do what you got to do, okay?
But listen to me.
I'm going to wind up buying
this joint outright. Okay?
So that's how it's going to be?
We'll talk later.
You made your choice.
It's not like that, Jillian.
Yeah, it is like that, Ed.
So, I'm making my choice.
Jillian.
Jillian!
(GROANlNG)
(WOMEN CHATTERlNG)
I told you to stay out of our lives.
