Eddie Nash.

His real name is Adel Nasrallah.

He steps off a plane from Palestine

in 1953 with nothing...

he's got four shekels

By 1954, he's got a little hot dog cart

on Hollywood Boulevard,

right outside

the Seven Seas Restaurant.

By 1960, he owns the place.

Now, he parlays the money he gets from

the Seven Seas into two more places,

and they take the f*** off.

By 1969, he's got like

- So he's got friends.

- Yeah, he's got friends.

He's the biggest

nightclub owner in Hollywood.

Here's a guy who has been under

investigation for arson

for the last five years,

yet he still goes out to dinner

with the fire commissioner

twice a week.

Rumor has it that

he has got 40 acres in the desert

filled with human skulls,

except he's removed the teeth

so we can't identify 'em.

- Jesus Christ.

Nothing I tell you is admissible.
