The town will never be the same. After the Tangiers, the big corporations took it all over. Today it looks like Disneyland. And while the kids play cardboard pirates, Mommy and Daddy drop the house payments and Junior's college money on the poker slots. In the old days, dealers knew your name, what you drank, what you played. Today, it's like checkin' into an airport. And if you order room service, you're lucky if you get it by Thursday. Today, it's all gone. You get a whale show up with four million in a suitcase, and some twenty-five-year-old hotel school kid is gonna want his Social Security Number. After the Teamsters got knocked out of the box, the corporations tore down practically every one of the old casinos. And where did the money come from to rebuild the pyramids? Junk bonds. But in the end, I wound up right back where I started. I could still pick winners, and I could still make money for all kinds of people back home. And why mess up a good thing? And that's that.
Transcript
By now, Nicky and his crew
had already hit rock bottom.
Vegas really got to him.
The booze, the coke, the broads.
I mean, he got sloppy.
He just wasn't
the same Nicky anymore.
- You must have drank too much.
- Go fuck yourself.
One night he had
to belt a guy three times...
before the guy
finally went down.
In the old days, Nicky would have
decked him with one shot.
You add this into the mix...
Maybe just Vegas got to all of us.
His crew followed him
right over the edge.
They were all tuned up
half the time on coke.
They started doing stupid things.
The worst was Blue.
- Hey, what do you guys want?
- Police! Stay in the car!
He never knew
when to keep his mouth shut.
- Drop the gun!
- Fuck you!
The cops shot Blue...
- because they thought
his hero sandwich was a gun.
- They could have been right, but who knows?
- Jesus Christ!
What gun? He's got
a fuckin' hero sandwich here.
- What do you want? It's pitch black.
- Pitch black!
- It's tinfoil. It looked like a gun!
- You fuckin' moron!
- I'll be fillin' out paperwork for the next two months!
- What are we gonna do?
- I'm sorry!
- You jerk-off!
To get even,
Nicky's crew got stoned one night...
and they started shooting up
the cops' houses.
It got to the point where they couldn't
talk in the Gold Rush anymore...
because the Feds
put a wire in the wall.
Even when they talked outside,
they had to cover their mouths...
- Shit, he's covering up again.
- Because the Feds brought in lip readers.
Nicky found out from a teller
who owed him money.
He asked me again
about you and the Jew's wife.
Walk, walk, walk.
What'd you say?
He asked me again about you
and the Jew's wife.
Yeah?
What'd you tell him?
I told him
I didn't know nothin'.
Jiggs and Tony Gorilla said
if you did anything, you're fucked up.
You think he's going home
making a beef behind my back?
Nah, you would have
heard something.
- What's to stop him?
- I know, I know.
I don't trust him anymore,
but they'd never okay anything.
Yeah, but they keep
asking about it.
Sure they're asking.
They earn with the prick.
I got a funny feeling he's gonna start
a fuckin' war or something.
I'm not sure yet,
but you know what I want you to do?
Who's this guy?
Who's this guy?
That ain't nobody.
You know what
I want you to do?
Get a couple of guys to dig a hole in the
desert, then let them show you where it's at.
- Angelo and Buster.
- Yeah, but I'm not sure yet.
- They'll do it.
- When I'm ready, I'll say the word.
- Go see the Jew, and you make it disappear.
- Yeah.
Just let me know.
But you got to be ready.
You know what
I'm talkin' about?
Did I say
to do anything yet?
I said I'm not sure. I'll let
you know. I want to think about it.
Where are these pricks at?
Dominick said they're in the motel?
There or in the fuckin' bank.
I don't know. All over the joint.
