limit to five gs a hand.

He's on a fresh shoot.

Fade him.

It's done.

Five a hand.

Great.

Damn nice of you.

Yes!

Dealer busts.

Tearing me apart

over there.

Good work, ladies.

40 gs for a half hour's work.

Not bad.

You bet.

There's your cut.

You sure you don't want

to reconsider Reno?

Oh yeah,

I'm sure.

Besides, Jackie's good

enough to pull it off.

Good enough

for Reno, anyway.

I'm almost out of beer.

You got something set up?

Who, me?

Great. I'll be in town

later this evening.

Okay, see you then.

Thanks.

God, I wish the mob

still ran this town.

So do I.

This is a hell

of an opportunity, Larry.

So what about the third musketeer?

When do I meet him?

You can meet him

anytime you want.

You can

meet him now if you like.

So how do we know

this is going to pay off?

Listen, come to this

address in an hour.

Go to the back room,

ask for me. I'll be

there with my partner.

If the cards come funny

to all of us,

how you gonna

fix that?

Yeah, look, lady luck can

be a b*tch at times.

But fortunately, the guy

we're going to meet...

My partner,

he's a...

Larry, do you know

what a "mechanic" is?

Christ, I can see

debris from here.

I'm not even

dealing deuces, a**hole.

Pretty ugly-looking

taps then.

Maybe the chaps

are getting rusty.

Is that so?

Big slick in clubs.

Two-handed.

Pretty good.

That'd get the money.

Yeah, but I always preferred

American airlines myself.

Son of a b*tch.

Well, good to see you're

keeping the hands in shape.

It's a hard

habit to break.

So what happened,

Vernon?

You disappeared like a f***ing

ghost after the Ross game.

I just needed

to get away for a while.

- Oh, yeah?

- Mmm.

Well, for what it's worth,

Tiffany and I were...

We were worried

about you.

We thought you'd gone South

because you'd taken some heat.

It wasn't

the cool thing to do.

Yeah, well,

neither was Atlantic city.

So how is Tiffany?

We're great.

Very great.

She is

an amazing woman.

- You know, I never thought...

- What's the word on the game?

Are we...

Are we set?

Yeah, I'm starting you

at the game.

Just got to get

your head in the moment.

That guy I was telling you about,

he's coming here in a few minutes.

I want you...

Speak of the devil.

That must be him.

Hey!

And the devil appears.

F***in' a.

Come on in.

Yeah, I heard

you were back in town.

But you know

what hurts me the most is,

goddamn it,

you didn't even call.

It must've

slipped my mind.

What the f***

do you want, scarne?

What the f***

you think I want?

You know, we're kind of

in between jobs at the moment.

Why don't you come back

in a couple of weeks

and we'll see

what we can do?
