Casino Jack
You know, I do a shit load of
reading and studying and praying
and I've come to a few
conclusions I wanna share.
People look at politicians
and celebrities on the TV and
the newspapers... glossy
magazines, what do they see?
"I am just like them."
That's what they say.
"I'm special. I'm different.
I can be anyone of them."
Well, guess what? You can't!
You know why? Cause in reality,
mediocrity's where most people lived.
Mediocrity is the elephant
of the room. Ubiquitous!
Mediocrity's in your schools, it's
in your dreams, it's in your family.
Those of us who knows this,
those of us who understand
the disease of the dull,
We do more because we have to. The
deck was always stack against us.
You're either a big
leader or you're a slave
clawing your way onto the sea train.
Some people said Jack Abramoff moved
too fast, Jack Abramoff cuts corner.
Well, I said to them,
if that's the difference
between me and my
family having a good life
and walking the news in the
subway everyday... then so be it.
I'll not allowed my family to be slaves.
I will not allowed the world
I touched to be vanilla.
You said I'm selfish, f*ck you!
I gave back, I gave back plenty.
You said I've got a
big ego? F*ck you twice!
I'm humbly grateful, for the
wonderful gifts that I received
here in America... the
greatest country on this planet.
I'm Jack Abramoff, and oh
Mr. Sprague? Susan Schmidt
of the Washington Post.
-Find it alright?
I've got a lot of questions for you.
-Jack Abramoff, right?
-I hear he was charging
the tribe an exorbitant fees.
-30 million or more.
-So, I guess you've met
Oh yeah, he's a real cowboy.
Looks like they might
be in some troubles.
-Jack?
-Honey!
-Jack?!
-Dad...
-Mikey.
Hey, I've been calling
you all day, dude.
-Where are you?
-I'm in L.A.
What the f*ck are you doing in
L.A.? Our world's collapsing here.
Wait! What have you heard?
Are you going to be indicted?
Like a federal marshall
is looking for me, okay.
-I had a hundred media calls today.
-We're under horrific assault from the
-workforce, that isn't our culture.
-I know... I know,
Hey, you're the only one
that returned my call.
The president probably destroying
every picture he ever took with you.
Well, you're no one in this
town until you've met us.
That isn't funny, Jack.
Don't fucking mess with my qi here.
I'm serious. We're
super f*ck here, okay.
They're calling us the
new Watergate, Jack!
We're about to be on the nightly news.
Step up to the line.
Dear Mr. President, I write you
this petition with hope and prayers.
As a man of faith, I've come to
see God moves in mysterious way.
After we're born, he gave
us the choice of two paths.
-Please don't smile.
-I am not smiling.
Accept the world the way it is.
Or see it for how we
might want it to be.
I need a right.
Right.
To me, the choice was obvious.
How long you'll be holding me here?
You can get that
information from your lawyer.
I do get my own cell, right?
I only eat kosher, okay.
You do serve kosher!?
Mr. Abramoff, this is a federal
holding facility. It is not kosher.
Jack Abramoff.
Snake.
What are you in for, Snake?
Assault and battery, resisting
arrest... chicken shit
... things like that. How about you?
Oh me? I work in D.C.
-I am a lobbyist.
-Lobbyist. That against the law?
Lobbyists
- Noun
legislation on behalf
of a special interest.
to influence public
officials to take a desired action.
