Yo, Doris, have you seen

He promised to position me

You didnt settle up

No? You sure?
Fuck, l was way under.

around here.
lll make it up to you tonight,
l promise.
Where have l
heard that before?
- lf l see Shelly, lll tell him...
- Thanks.
...that youre looking for him.
Hostess on P.A.:
Conway, party of 11.
Please check your reservation
in the Paradise Lounge.
Hey, Bernie,
Shelly needs you on 11.
All right.
Lets do the Chivas Regal.
And have that--
have Natalie bring it over,
the one working the nickel slots
by the Paradise.
l spoke to Shelly earlier.
He wants her out on the tables.
All right.
lll take care of it.
Great shot.
How about that?
Natalie:
Hi. lts you, right?
Yeah, over here.
Joe said
l should stick around.
You say something
to Shelly?
Um-hmm.
Wow, that was fast.
Thanks.
Dont mention it.
lts over here.
lll win you a fortune
on five and nine.
Did you order
the Chivas Regal?
Hey, back off, will you, pal?
Cant you see l got a roll here?
- 54, 54.
- ( crowd groans )
- Seven out, line away.
- That motherfucker.
- Stickman: Thanks for the bet, folks.
- Yeah, yeah, lm coming.
( cheering )
Oh! Shoot!
Better luck next time.
( fizzing )
- ( knocking on door)
- Ah-hh.
- Shelly, theyre here.
- Relax, shorty.
Hey. Nicky, you didnt tell me
you were coming.
lm having a manicure here.
You think l dont wash up
after going to the john, huh?
Forget about it. You look like
a million bucks. How are you?
You should have called ahead.
l would have sent the car.
- No, we figured wed surprise you.
- Anytime, Nicky, anytime.
l know that, partner.
Shelly, let me introduce you to our
brightest VP here.
This is Larry Sokolov.
His numbers guy, Marty Goldfarb.
- How do you do, Shelly?
- Can l get you something to drink?
ld love a vodka tonic,
thanks.
...comes out of the confessional and she
says, Move over, l have to gargle.
( laughs )
So Nicky,
what brings you to town?
Shelly, lve got
a smart kid here.
Hes got some good ideas
about how to revitalize the Shangri-La.
Revitalize? What are you talking about?
We did $35 million last year.
Nicky: Why dont you
just hear the kid out, huh?
Shelly, l want you to know that l have
nothing but the utmost respect for you.
Youve done a tremendous job with
the Shangri-La over the last 16 years.
l dont think anybody
can dispute that.
Nicky:
Yeah, nobody doubts that, Shell.
But the business has changed.
Just take a look at the Strip,
youll see what lm talking about.
( chuckles )
What?
You mean that Disneyland
mookfest out there? Huh?
Come on, you know
what that is?
Huh? Thats a fucking violation
is what that is.
lts something that used
to be beautiful.
lt used to have class,
like a gorgeous high-priced hooker
with an exclusive clientele.
Then along comes
that Steve Wynn cocksucker
and knocks her up and puts her
in a fucking family way.
Now, shes nothing
but a cheap fat whore
hiding behind too much make-up.
l look at her and see her stretch marks.
lt makes me want to cry, because
l remember the way she used to be.
Am l right?
Theres no arguing the bottom line.
Those places are raking it in...
and the Shangri-La as she is now
cant compete with that.
You think lm trying
to compete with that?
You think thats what were about,
trying to bring in the stroller crowd,
fresh off some E-ticket ride, trying
to break the house on red and black?
Fremont has never been
about that bullshit.
This is where old time
and real money come to play.
The numbers dont back you up
on that, Shelly. Dont get me wrong.
Nostalgia is great
and we love nostalgia...
...but nostalgia
belongs in a museum.
l think it comes a time to decide
whether youre running a museum...
or youre running a casino.
Bernie.
Mr. Cool.
You got a minute?
- l was just heading over to 14.
- lt can wait.
Hows the knee?
l met this orthopedic surgeon
at Vegas Memorial.
He tells me...
they can rebuild a mans
entire kneecap out of titanium.
Oh, of course it costs
a shitload of money,
but seeing as this gentleman is into us
for 500 large, l thought maybe--
l told you, lm not gonna be here
after Sunday.
( dry chuckle )
Where are you gonna go,
Bernie?
Where the fuck are you gonna go
thats better than here?
lve got you covered in this town.
People know you work for me.
Thats currency in your pocket.
Thats fucking respect,
when you walk the floor.
