That all sounds nice

and philanthropy, Jack-

but you're buddies with the White House.

Hell, you're the reason that idiot

cinched the Republican nomination.

That because we destroyed

McCain in the South.

Bush still owes you.

Why not used that? Aim a little

higher when bringing in clients.

-Such as? -Such as..

Fortune 500-company or two.

You mean rich, white people?

Listen, I've got a situation

in Florida with a client...

a very important client.

With your background in gaming,

might help us still handled it.

-So... Indians?

-No, Greeks.

A guy in Florida named Gus Boulis...

Bankruptcy is just

the tip of the iceberg.

He needs a buyer. Fast.

It's a very lucrative casino op.

Anybody who can afford to

get in on it will get rich.

Anyway Manny said you had some

clients who might be interested

under the circumstances.

Yeah okay, Art. I will look into it.

-Have you done all your things yet?

-Hmm!

Well, come to bed. The

kids are asleep. It's late.

What? What are you thinking?

About us.

Seems like only yesterday

we were kicking out

with the college Republicans.

Remember that time you

brought Pavarotti for Brandeis?

-Nobody thought you could pull it off.

-All them lefty listening to the Clash

-Hey, I like Joe Strummer.

-Hmmm, maybe I should have asked

him to a duet with Pavarotti.

That would have been something.

I still love your dorkiness, hon.

Always thinking out of the box.

"Adrian... nobody ever went

the distance for Creed."

"If they rings the bell, and I'm still standing

-"

"I know I weren't just another

bum from the neighbourhood."

Come to bed.

So this Gus Boulis,

comes down from Canada-

opened up a chain of

sandwich shops in Miami.

Then he cashes out and he

goes into the cruise business,

buy a fleet full of yachts,

so pull the strings and turned

them into floating casinos,

runs out of 9 ports. Tourists,

retirees some high rollers they called

the cruise to nowhere.

But there's this...

Florida attorney general who's

got a hard on for gamblers

looking for a technicality

to nail this guy.

Problem is, Boulis isn't a US citizen-

which turned out to be a violation

of the shipping acts 1916.

And then, this idiot gets sloppy

about how he runs the casinos,

you know, he plays fast

and loose with the best,

he think he's still fooling

around with the cold guards.

-Blackjack, house wins.

-The customers start complained,

pretty soon, Boulis is catching

heavy grief with his gambling license.

The gist of it's, the Feds are forced

him to sell. He got months to diverse

-which gives me a window.

-Gives you a window?

What, are you serious?

No, we're serious.

we going to swing it?
