lewis.

Everything you do

here has a price!

Get me the squad up here

with masks. Quick!

Hurry it up!

All right,

you big bastard.

You either come out of that

cell and walk to isolation,

or we'll come in

and carry you out.

I don't

give a damn which.

All right!

I'll walk!

Come on out of that cell.

Come on out,

boy.

You're just making it hard on yourself.

They got his door locked!

They're gassing him!

They're gassing him

with his door locked!

Shut your

goddamn mouth!

Keep your goddamn

mouth shut!

All right. We gave you a

chance. Now we're coming in.

Hey, ritz, eh?

Well, ain't you

something?

Like it?

Want me to order you

a half a dozen?

I'll stick

with my number.

Still with

numerology, huh?

This is it.

Oh, lewis.

You know, normally

they'd have just thrown

you right into isolation

for the next

6 months,

but you got yourself

a powerful friend

right here

in the population.

Who?

Sal viccarrone,

no less.

What's he doing here?

Ha ha ha ha!

Penance.

I'll take your hand.

Go get lewis.

Man wants to talk

to you... personally.

Listen, buster brown,

you owe him.

He's the one that kept you

out of isolation.

I got a blitz going.

Now, don't blow it.

Well, i hear you're a

fair-to-middling gambler.

Won a few hands

now and then.

Ray, get up.

I want to try out

a new act here.

You got a visitor... again.

Susan barrett.

Tell her

i'm still out to lunch.

Why don't you

see the broad?

You're every bit

as good as i heard.

I'm going to back you in the game.

You and vince are going

to play for me exclusively.

I think

i'll back myself.

I have some money

on deposit.

So your girlfriend sent

you 500 bucks. Big deal.

I pick up

dinner checks

for more scratch

than that.

You know, that gin game

is 10 cents a point.

We just took in

2,000 bucks.

I'll give you 50%

of the winnings.

Look, between

you and vince,

i can own this whole

goddamn prison

and sell it back

to the state.

I'm telling you,

vince,

he's got fast fingers, no mouth.

My kind of people.

You know, vince,

i still think i could do better

playing against you and sal.

Uh-uh.

Sal has got to win...

at everything.

With all his so-called

influence and power,

what in the hell

is he doing in here?

It's ironic,

isn't it?

Well, he comes down south

here to open memphis,

and he falls in with

some big-mouth blonde.

She drops a dime on him,

and he winds up in here

on some stupid

bribery charge.

Ha ha ha ha!

And what's

your sad story?

Hmm... 15 arrests,

4 suspicion of murder;

one conviction,

burglary.

Actually, i'm... quite

embarrassed at the conviction.

Well, no wonder

they step aside

when you walk

through the yard.
