the last hotel to be tainted

would be the Golden Nugget.

Sh*t, Holly, I mean,

even their f***ing showgirls

can rip the

phonebook in half.

Remember when I told you

not to go to that place?

You know what? You could

always piss me off, Holly.

I'm leaving now.

But I want us

to be clear.

Holly, when I came

to this town,

you was just a kid who

lived across the street.

That first year, Baby himself tried

to recruit me for his organization.

I said no.

If someone got bloody, I

wanted it to be for my reasons,

not anybody else's.

Baby accepted that.

Since then I've stayed

away from them

and they stayed

away from me.

I don't know a soul that

works at the Golden Nugget.

I don't have

one contact there.

I swear to God.

Hey, Millicent.

I don't think they much

appreciate us having visitors.

Hey, listen, I'm interested in

a guy who looks like a fighter.

Has a suite, I guess

on a high floor,

travels with two

large bodyguards.

You still live

in Naked City?

- You know Big Daddy's?

- Of course.

I get off at four.

You come down there

at about 4:
15.

If I ain't there,

I couldn't find nothin'.

If I am, we'll talk.

- Hey, Nick.

- Hey, Millicent.

Too bad you got all that

British blood in you.

If you was black,

I'd bed you good and fast.

You could make believe.

Nah. Don't think this

is racial or anything,

but I never feel like

you people are clean.

This is a housekeeper

you're talking to, remember?

I can tell if a Brit's been

in a room, just like that.

Why should I think that

was racial or anything?

Glad you don't.

Now, this fighter guy,

his name is Danny DeMarco,

suite 3506.

He's from a fine old

Italian family back east.

He's a son and heir

and his daddy loves him

which is why he never goes no

place without them two big mothers.

How big are they?

A lot bigger than you.

You did me something once.

I will owe you forever.

But now, I need you

to do me something.

Do not f***

with these guys.

Pickle.

Lady in the housekeeping,

I just met with her.

She struck out, Holly.

Couldn't find out a thing.

Oh, Nick.

Don't lie anymore.

You know what he did

when he was finished?

He put a gun inside me.

He said, "You got

one shot at breathing.

Tell me you love me, and if I

believe you, I'll let you go. "

I said, "Oh, God,

I love you.

I love you so much,

I do. "

And he said,

"Never sh*t a shitter. "

And then he pulled

the trigger.

And I scream

and I hear a click.

Some f***ing games to play with

another human. Right, Nicky?

And I want to sue him,

and you know who he is,

and you just let him

walk away.

Just know I tried, Holly.

Sure, you liar.

Just know this one thing.

All those times I told you
