At one end of the room the clerks empty the metal boxes and
rapidly count the cash at a counting table. The camera follows
a cash 'drop box' being lifted from the stack by a clerk. He
pours the cash on to the table and shows the empty box to a
video camera. COUNTER #2 rapidly counts the cash and
announces:
COUNTER #2
Five thousand.
NICKY (V.O.)
I mean, to them everything looked on
the up and up. Right? Wrong.
The first counter recounts the cash.
COUNTER #1
Verify five thousand.
NICKY (V.O.)
The guys inside the counting room...
Stacks of bills lie nearby. The camera pans across the room
to another table manned by a COUNT ROOM EXECUTIVE who repeats
the figure and writes it down on a master list.
COUNT ROOM EXEC:
Five thousand.
We move back to NANCE opening a cabinet full of stacks of
$100 bills. He opens his suitcase and begins to fill it with
cash. As he does this, the workers studiously look in other
directions.
NICKY (V.O.)
...were all slipped in there to skim
the joint dry. They'd do short
counts, they'd lose fill slips. They'd
even take cash right out of the drop
boxes. And it was up to this guy
right here [NANCE], standin' in front
of about two million dollars, to
skim the cash off the top without
anybody gettin' wise ...the IRS or
anybody.
COUNTER #1
Verify two hundred.
NANCE closes the case and walks out. One of the counters
dumps another container of money on the table.
NICKY (V.O.)
Now, notice how in the count room
nobody ever seems to see anything.
Somehow, somebody's always lookin'
the other way. Now, look at these
guys [COUNTERS]. They look busy,
right? They're countin' money. Who
wants to bother them? I mean, God
forbid they should make a mistake
and forget to steal. Meanwhile, you're
in and you're out.
NANCE exits the count room and proceeds through the lobby of
the casino, passing ACE and SHERBERT, to a side exit door.
NICKY:
Past the jag-off guard who gets an
extra c-note a week just to watch
the door. I mean, it's routine.
Business as usual: in, out, hello,
goodbye. And that's all there is to
it. Just another fat f*** walkin'
out of the casino with a suitcase.
Now, that suitcase was goin' straight
to one place:
right to Kansas City...which was as close to Las Vegas
as the Midwest bosses could go without
gettin' themselves arrested.
