-Yes indeed, Kimosabe!

-One of the lost tribes of Israel.

-Yep yep. You tried to play Indian.

-No wonder they liked you so much.

-Background talking crowd.

You know what blows my mind?

All these Indians are so

damn rich and still acting

like Wal-mart shoppers.

He is a multi-millionaire,

Jack, with a $10 watch.

Listen, if you and I could

accessed some of that liquid,

-we would be running D.C. in no time.

-What are you suggesting?

I'm suggesting that they pay us a

ridiculous amount of money, okay.

And then, you and I can split

the fees 50-50 under the table.

It's a little tough on the

Chippewa, not to mention is it legal?

What are they gonna do? Cancel

my membership at the ACLU?

You know, I've got a

limit on what I can charge.

Shucks for you but I'm freelance, Jack!

I'm grass root, baby. You're always

complaining about living hand to mouth

You know what? You deserve better.

And Chief Shack-a-lot there, is

our ticket out of our leady health.

-That's it, chief.

-Okay, put together a pitch for Tonto,

-let's see what he says.

-It looks good.

Now chief, it's a simple thing.

Look, I've handled the Coushattas,

the Tiguas, the Aguas, Caliente's...

and I tell them all

the same thing, chief.

I know what it feels like

to be a persecuted minority.

Yeah, well it's about

time you guys in Washington

finally did something

good for Indian people.

Like give America back?

You've got a real sense of

humor, Jack. I like that.

Look! The casinos are a

plus if it's profitable.

But in reality the gaming

industry is very competitive.

You know, the Jena tribe, they want

to open up their own casino now.

-They're just one state away.

-Yeah, I know those guys.

They can be brutal.

They can shut you down mega

fast. No more Chippewa casinos.

You need our help, chief.

-You heard Mike's proposal?

-It's a tough call.

It's a hell of a fees you're asking for.

-Kind of a record, isn't it?

-But think of the billions

that you're gonna saved.

I can guaranteed you that goddamn

Jena tribe casino will never opens.

And before you know it, the Jena

tribe gonna be back selling moccasins.

You know, Mr. Abramoff, we

can't afford to lose this one.

You won't. Swear to God!

Give me five!

I told you, team Abramoff!

-Team Abramoff!

-To giving America back to the Indians

All hail to Washington

-biggest retainer.

-F***ing A!

You're no one in this town, if you

haven't met Jack f***ing A Abramoff.

-Take it easy, Bill.

Jack, you know I

believe my fianc Emily,

-everybody from the Bush's inaugural.

-I'll never forget that night.

McCain was in his office

pounding Bush bills: "We lost!"

It's very sincere moderate
