[Atell and Rothstein are discussing the plan to fix the series] Abe Atell:
They say that six or seven guys. I find that hard to believe. Arnold Rothstein:
Doesn't surprise me. Abe Atell:
Yeah, but they're the champs. Arnold Rothstein:
You were champ, Abe, you went down for the bucks. Abe Atell:
This is different. Arnold Rothstein:
Look, champ. I know guys like that. I grew up with them. I was the fat kid they wouldn't let play. "Sit down, fat boy'. That's what they'd say "Sit down, maybe you'll learn something." Well, I learned something alright. Pretty soon, I owned the game, and those guys I grew up with come to me with their hats in their hands. Tell me, champ, all those years of puggin', how much money did you make? Abe Atell:
The honest fights or the ones I tanked? Arnold Rothstein:
Altogether, I must've made ten times that amount betting on you and I never took a punch. Abe Atell:
Yeah, but I was champ. Featherweight champeen of the world! Arnold Rothstein:
Yesterday. That was Yesterday. Abe Atell:
No A.R. you're wrong. I was champ, and can't nothin take that away
