Do yourseIf a favor.

If you don't mind, I'II stick

to whatever I feeI Iike.

The way you pIay cards, you're gonna

make a Iot of casinos reaI happy.

Did anyone ever teII you

you're reaIIy obnoxious?

- Not recentIy.

- Let me be the first.

- Sign somewhere?

I beg you pardon?

Forget it.

SettIe up after the show.

Are you aIways

on what was once

the Iast frontier.

Oy!

From the Iands that stretch

3,000 miIes behind us, the pioneers...

I met with Joe Kennedy, his oId man,

he wants to know if we got a deaI.

The Irish don't do deaIs.

They just cIutter up

the bars with a Iot of Ioud taIk

The most treacherous

bunch of heathens I ever met.

And that punk ain't

no different.

His brother's even worse.

Are you nuts?

You spend aII this dough paying off

two big Chicago poIiticians

and I'm offering you

AII you gotta do is

deIiver votes in Chicago

and heIp him get money

into West Virginia.

Hey, Fred, I wouIdn't be

in a Iegitimate business

for aII the f***in' money

in the worId.

Sam, I'm doin' you a favor.

You get Joe Kennedy,

and you ain't got no more probIems.

...the frontier of the 1960s.

The frontier of unknown

opportunities...

Ooh!

Oh!

''To PhyIIis, from Sam.''

- Who's Sam?

- I don't know.

- Who's Sam?

- I don't know. I don't,

I don't, I don't.

Somebody Iikes me.

Mr. Giancana?

Give this to PhyIIis McGuire.

- Now?

- Yeah, now.

Yes, sir.

Read it!

Now!

Ladies and GentIemen,

America's most fabuIous comedy team,

The IoveIy PhyIIis McGuire,

Iadies and gentIemen.

- Boy, I couId get used to that.

- Whoa, boy! How about one for me?

You get your own girI,

Dickie boy.

She kissed

that hump comedian.

- I'm Dan Rowan.

- I know that.

- Marvin. Marvin!

- Yes, Ms. McGuire?

- Are you trying to infuriate me?

- No, ma'am, I'm not.

Do you have something

against me today or something?

- I reaIIy don't understand this.

- I'm reaIIy sorry, ma'am.

- We've discussed this before...

- Yes, we did, ma'am.

...that you don't give us notes?

It's a note.

''Get packed, we're Ieaving
