Okay! Okay!

I'll tell you what,

can we make that on a...

Ah, come on.

Jesus, come on, scarne,

you don't have to do that.

See what you

made me do?

We don't have anything

going on right now, okay?

Bullshit. If you didn't

have a line on something,

you wouldn't

be back here.

He's telling you

the truth. The only...

Hold it.

When I want your opinion,

I will dial

your f***ing a**hole.

I'm kind of tapped

at the moment.

All I got

is a nickel on me.

Jesus Christ. You weren't

kidding, were you?

We're in a recession,

didn't you hear?

Well, whatever.

But just remember, boys,

I want my cut.

And I will get it

one way...

Or another.

Uh, how's your...

How's your leg, by the way?

It still hurts

when it rains.

Son of a b*tch.

Do yourself a favor, scarne,

keep to extortion and leave

the real work to the pros.

Pros.

Hear Skinner got...

Got run over by a car?

Yeah, yeah.

Unsolved hit and run.

Real tragedy.

To protect

and serve, huh?

F*** off.

Some things

never change, huh?

You're going

to dial your a**hole.

Oh, sh*t.

Who is it?

Jennings.

This is the guys

t. Was telling you about.

She says you know

your way around a game.

Just got lucky.

So Miller says

that...

You're the real deal

holyfield with the cards.

I can handle

a deck pretty well.

What is this,

modesty night?

Show him something.

Four aces.

That's kind of dope.

I told you

he was good.

He's a goddamn

artist.

So you know

the situation...

We need a third to take

down some of the big pots.

If the same man keeps winning,

it arouses suspicion.

It's a big game.

Soft game.

Guys go all their lives trying

to get into a game like this.

So we've got to be really

careful how we handle it.

We need

a top notch man.

Uh-huh.

So what you

want me to do?

You play on the square

during most of the game,

except on my deal.

Like your hand?

Get the f*** out of here

with that Copperfield sh*t.

Yeah, I like my hand.

That's what's known

as base or bottom dealing.

But I will vary it

by stacking as well

and dealing the punch,

whatever it takes.

But don't worry. You'll end

up a winner every time.

Oh.

So are you our man?

I'm gonna f***

with y'all.

- Great.

- For sure.

We'll give you

most of the stake,

so don't go

blowing it on a hunch.

Just save it for the sure

thing on my deal, okay?

Here's five,

10 grand.

With your 15

that's 25.

That gives us

enough money to play.

But you are going to be the

one making the big bets.

You are the one going to be

taking down the big pots.

Okay?

I'm good with that.

I like big sh*t.

Show me the sh*t.

Well, I think we're all here now.

You all know

Mr. Charlie Miller.

- Hey, Charlie.
