Why don't you clean this place up?|lt's filthy.

Oleanliness is next to godliness, right?

This is the last time l carry you.

l want to play the full schedule today.

Start with the National League.

The Pirates play the Mets|in a doubleheader.

Give me the Pirates in both games.|The Mets need more black ballplayers.

Give me the Reds over the 'stros,

Expos over the Phillies,|Braves over the Dodgers,

Oubs over the Oardinals,|the Giants over the Padres.

ln the American League,|the Yankees over the Tigers,

even though Steinbrenner needs to go.

Brewers over the Red Sox,|Orioles over the Jays.

That's my main man, Frank Robinson.

Yucca, barbecue, Oreo cookies.

lndians over the White Sox,|the Twins over the Mariners,

A's over the Royals,|and Angels over Rangers.

lce cream, tamale, arroz, azucar.|All of that?

Give me two O-notes on each game.

- Oan you cover that?|- Just make the bet.

Two O-notes on each?

Two O-notes on each game.|l'm coming back, Petey.

- lt's never over till it's over.

- Will you stop with that?|- l rehearse my luck.

This is my luck.

- What does it look like?|- lt looks good.

The numbers look good.|Numbers never lie.

That's why l like numbers. People|lie from the crib, but not numbers.

Moe, the numbers never lie.

- But human beings?|- Human beings is another story.

You meet some shmendrick.

The guy says ''Yes. No. Maybe''|but you never know, right?

- But not numbers. Three and three?|- Six.

You know what l'm saying?|A guy tells you it's done, right?

But you don't know. He could be|in back doing something to somebody,

and you don't know.

- Seven and seven?|- Fourteen.

- Eight and eight?|- Sixteen.

- Nine and nine?|- Eighteen.

Firm. Ooncrete.|lt's like a solid walk, understand?

That's what a lot of people|don't understand.

They want to give you, you know...|But a number's right there.

- You can see it, right?|- You can't buy trust, right?

l trust my mother sometimes.

Hey! Hey!

Hey, l'm walking here.

Your mother!

Whoa! Whoa!

Money, back it on up.|No midgets getting in tonight.

l'm sorry.|You know my name is Giant.

- Every night we go over this.|- All right then, no giants allowed.

Come off the giant tip.|You're not a giant.

- Go home and take a nap.|- When are you gonna let the people in?

Lines are good for business,|which you know nothing about.

- ls that Moe and Josh talking?|- Black men can't have a smart thought?

- No, because you're stupid.|- Why is it always the white man?
