So nothing surprises

me much anymore,

except the things that

people do to each other.

I'm a licensed pilot,

took karate in Tokyo.

I lectured

on economics at Yale.

I can memorize

the front pages

of the New York Times

in five minutes

and repeat it back

to you in five weeks.

I was the National Golden Gloves

champion three years in a row.

I'm fluent

in four languages

and can wrestle with

a menu in five more...

- Jesus!

- Don't interrupt me. There's more.

- More?

- Yeah.

I lie a lot.

I'm staying

at Caesars, Mr. Wild.

Shall we say 7:
00?

7:
00, Mr. Kinnick.

It worked, Nicky!

It f***in' worked!

It really worked.

How could you be such

a bastard Os, huh?

You said I was a coward

and my breath was bad.

That's not an insult,

that's a f***in' insult.

That was in character, man.

I'm f***in' around.

You're too sensitive.

And you didn't tell me you

were gonna take my f***in' hair.

What was that, man?

She likes you

better without it.

Heh, women,

they like honesty.

Who knew?

Word to the wise.

All right, fresh

from the bank...

- one thousand dollars.

- That's not the right amount.

Are you callin' me a crook?

'Cause I am not a crook.

Nobody said you were.

You forgot

the bonus, Nicky!

I said if she came along

out of pressure

I was putting on, fine.

Whatever. Done.

But if by seeing

the real me,

it could bring out

that she loved me,

there'd be a

$500 bonus. $1,000.

And that's what happened?

She saw the real you?

She f***in' loves me, man.

Love.

I'll take the $500, Os.

This day keeps gettin'

better and better.

I love you, man.

I mean, I love you.

Yeah!

Hey, I'm gonna write you

from Atlantic City.

It's where we'll all headed.

How you doin', Nick?

Oh, great, Rox.

So, I put Casanova

on table two like you asked.

I'll bet you give him the room

with the busted toilet.

Oh, yeah,

I like that one.

- I'm not wearing a ring.

- You wouldn't have known it.

I stay with her on account of

our four kids and I can survive,

except when fate, through

a toilet that won't flush,

brings me in contact with

a special specimen like you.

- What'd I miss?

- The special specimen.

- F***!

- Shh, he's about to ask for a memory.

Okay, she's dead,

but she won't lie down.

Oh, she'll lie down.

She just doesn't realize

it's gonna happen

in five minutes.

I could get a key

to a $1,000 suite.

So please, Marie,

leave me with the memory.

Give me something

I can cherish to remember.

Okay.

Okay. Thank you.

Come on.

Son of a b*tch! How does

he get f***ed every time?

- What is that?

- Hey, he wants it that much.

Well, I don't have

anything like that.

- Do you?

- Sure.

Never ever to rest my head
