of the pool to the casino.

If we move the pool,

will the sun hit the pool all day?

- Yes, it will.

- Move the pool.

Ben, we've inflated the budget

to two million now.

- No problem.

- I'll give Meyer a call.

Mussolini Murdered

Italians Butcher Brutal Dictator

- That's a lot of extra money.

- I cannot believe he's dead.

You keep saying that. He was dead

the first time you read the paper.

I was moments away

from carrying out my plan.

Look how they got him, you couldn't

have done a better job yourself.

I couldn't have?

Come here.

What do you really think

of this David, the architect?

There's something about him I don't

like. What's with this red tie?

Hey, he's an architect.

Keep an eye on him. What's

his history? How did we get him?

- Don't do this to yourself.

- I've got to know the truth.

Who ever knows what's going on

in the mind of any broad?

What are you looking at?

You're looking at Virginia.

- She was talking.

- What were you thinking?

Should you trust a dame

with your chequebook?

I've never known a broad

I could trust.

I'm not trusting a broad,

I'm trusting Virginia.

Meyer would like to talk to you.

Where are you, Miami? A deportation

party for Charlie, that's horrible.

First they lock him up, now they

kick him out of the country.

I tell you,

never trust the prosecutors.

Bugsy Siegel lives here.

- Don't ever call him that.

- Everyone calls him that.

Not to his face.

You can bet your life on that.

I do feel responsible for Harry.

I know I brought him in.

Harry's not a full deck.

But we both thought he was okay

for the jobs we gave him.

When you find him, you'll have to do

what you have to do.

What overages?

Did they put a price on

Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel, -

- or Shakespeare's "Macbeth"?

If it costs more, it costs more.

No problem.

I'll see you in New York.

- Bloodless bureaucrats!

- Harry Greenberg is here.

- Where?

- In the hallway.

- Hi, Harry.

- Ben, you're a sight for sore eyes.

I hope you don't mind,

I had no place else to go.

- You did the right thing. Tired?

- Yeah, I'm tired.

We have an extra bedroom.

Why don't you take a nap?

We'll talk when you wake up.

It's the first one on the left.

- I thought I was dreaming.

- I always think I'm dreaming.

Am I dreaming or am I really

out here in Hollywood with you?

- You're here, Harry.

- Anywhere else and I'd be dead.

I screwed up, Ben.

I'm so stupid.

I never wanted to hurt anyone,

except those you told me to hurt.

- You talked.

- I talked.

What do you want me to do for you?

I thought I could work for you

out here incognito.

It's tough

to be incognito in Hollywood.

That's true. It was an idea.

A bad idea.

What should I do?

- You'd better take a drive with me.

- I like driving at night.

Especially if someone else drives.

I always loved that,

ever since I was a little kid.

I wish you hadn't done

what you did, Harry.

Virginia, this is Harry Greenberg.

He's a very old friend of mine.

Joey A.'s girl. We met

a couple of years ago at the Copa.

- We're taking a drive together.

- I'll come with you.

- Stay here. I won't be long.

- I'd rather come along.

I'd rather you didn't.

I thought you said you wanted

to spend all your time with me.

- Let us take a drive alone.

- Take your whole life alone.

Fine, come along.

I've got to get my coat and bag.

You seen much of Joey recently?

Not for quite a while.

I haven't seen any of the guys

since I messed up.

Joey was a real sharp dresser.

Nice head of wavy hair.

- Virginia's going to be my wife.

- Congratulations.

- What happened to Esta?

- Nothing.

That's a relief.

I thought she died.

- What happened to her?

- We're getting a divorce.

- Esta doesn't know it yet.

- Always the same little digs.

Esta is a friend of mine.

She's a good person.

She's the mother of my daughters.

She's not a threat to you,

and I'm going to divorce her.

I'm sorry. I was out of line.

You two seem like a happy couple.

It's nice to see that.

I want you to wait here.

Don't argue with me about it.

What the hell's going on out there?

Ben!

What are you doing?

I told you to wait.

- Where's Harry?

- Back in the car.

What's the matter?

What happened?

20 dwarves took turns

doing handstands on the carpet.

20 dwarves took turns

doing handstands on the carpet.

20 dwarves took turns

doing handstands on the carpet.

20 dwarves, 20 dwarves...

This building's budget

was one million dollars.

It's climbing through the roof.

A hotel!

In the middle of the Mojave desert.

500 miles from the nearest toilet.

This movie star, Hollywood sh*t

of yours is no good.

We're a private group.

We don't want anybody looking at us.

It's bad enough already. This

Flamingo thing is out of control.

Are you finished?

The Flamingo is legitimate.

There won't be anything to hide.

The money that you and Meyer

put up was not a gift.

This was a favour

that I let you in on.

Fine. Then let us out now.

At cost, no profits.

Stop all this nonsense. This is

a farewell party for old friends.

You don't tell old friends a deal's

going to cost one million dollars -

- and then come back and say

that it's two, or three, or four.

Not to Charlie Luciano.

We're talking different languages,

that's the problem.

Tell me one thing. What is the most

that this hotel could possibly cost?

- Three million.

- I only approved one, not three.

- I don't want in, but I am in.

- It doesn't matter. We're stuck.

We do what we have to do,

to make it work... within reason.

You call any of this reason?

It's disgusting.

If this costs over three million,

God won't be able to baiI you out.

- No problem.

- One more thing, Ben.

The broad... Why would you have

some broad handle our money?

Speak about Virginia with respect,

she's going to be my wife.

Congratulations. I'm sure

she'll make a terrific Mrs. Siegel.

I hope you know what you're doing.

Don't let Virginia

out of your sight.

If you have to take a nap, have

one of the other guys watch her.

One of the older guys.

Joey...

- Can I speak to you alone?

- What do you want? I'm busy.

It won't take a second.

Don't move, darling. I'll get rid

of this guy before you can blink.

Make it quick.

Considering the insulting word

you used to describe Virginia, -

- I think

that you owe both of us an apology.

Why don't you suck your apology

out of my dick?

Joey, what a thing to say!

Pull it out.

Are you embarrassed?

You want me to pull mine out first?

Take a look at this.

Can you hear me, Joey? You're

lucky I didn't drink a lot today.

Your apology's accepted.

- Are you chewing?

- I'm chewing.

Don't swallow anything

untiI you chew it well.

I was thinking that...

Could I have some more water?

I was thinking that...

- Anybody want anything else?

- You just said that.

Right... What was I saying?

You've been trying to say it

all night. Our plans for moving.

What I was thinking was that...

I was trying to figure out
