might help us still handled it.

-So... Indians?

-No, Greeks.

A guy in Florida named Gus Boulis...

Bankruptcy is just

the tip of the iceberg.

He needs a buyer. Fast.

It's a very lucrative casino op.

Anybody who can afford to

get in on it will get rich.

Anyway Manny said you had some

clients who might be interested

under the circumstances.

Yeah okay, Art. I will look into it.

-Have you done all your things yet?

-Hmm!

Well, come to bed. The

kids are asleep. It's late.

What? What are you thinking?

About us.

Seems like only yesterday

we were kicking out

with the college Republicans.

Remember that time you

brought Pavarotti for Brandeis?

-Nobody thought you could pull it off.

-All them lefty listening to the Clash

-Hey, I like Joe Strummer.

-Hmmm, maybe I should have asked

him to a duet with Pavarotti.

That would have been something.

I still love your dorkiness, hon.

Always thinking out of the box.

"Adrian... nobody ever went

the distance for Creed."

"If they rings the bell, and I'm still standing

-"

"I know I weren't just another

bum from the neighbourhood."

Come to bed.

So this Gus Boulis,

comes down from Canada-

opened up a chain of

sandwich shops in Miami.

Then he cashes out and he

goes into the cruise business,

buy a fleet full of yachts,

so pull the strings and turned

them into floating casinos,

runs out of 9 ports. Tourists,

retirees some high rollers they called

the cruise to nowhere.

But there's this...

Florida attorney general who's

got a hard on for gamblers

looking for a technicality

to nail this guy.

Problem is, Boulis isn't a US citizen-

which turned out to be a violation

of the shipping acts 1916.

And then, this idiot gets sloppy

about how he runs the casinos,

you know, he plays fast

and loose with the best,

he think he's still fooling

around with the cold guards.

-Blackjack, house wins.

-The customers start complained,

pretty soon, Boulis is catching

heavy grief with his gambling license.

The gist of it's, the Feds are forced

him to sell. He got months to diverse

-which gives me a window.

-Gives you a window?

What, are you serious?

No, we're serious.

we going to swing it?

We're gonna used our most

powerful resource, Mikey.

-My imagination.

-Well, you'd better imagine

we're as rich as the Chippewas then.

So, what do you think of Sunsail?

How do you think we should handled it?

We need a frontman, you

know. Someone strong enough to

run a business but not so

strong we can't control him.

He's to have his own money, so he

can invest, keep him loyal... honest.

Do you know anybody like that?

"Kwikee Mattress." The

last "s" is for saving.

The lowest prices in greater

Bethesda. Plus same-day delivery.

The principles of the Republican

Party's more closely parallel

the moral vision of the God

of Abraham than anyone else.

So the question:
Does God

want people to be... liquid?

The answer is yes. The answer is yes.

Prosperity enable us

to do the right thing.

To be able help our fellow man.

To be steward of civilization.

In biblical times, taxes

never rose above 20 percent,

which is a lesson we could learn today.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Republican

Party lights the way for America

and may I say, the rest of the globe.

-Ralph.

-Brilliant stuff.

- Thanks for coming.

- Inspirational, Jack.

-Thanks, Congressman.

-Jack...

-Grov...

-We need to talk.

Sure thing, Grover.

"Steward of civilization"?

Beautiful words, Jack.

Well, I only take my cue from

the most powerful men in Congress.

You remember Reverend Mueller from

my own district in Texas, don't you?

Please to see you again, Mr.

Abramoff. You know, it's refreshing

to see both Jews and

Christians working together...

-... to make this a better world.

-I'm inspired, reverend.

-Karl.

-Nice to see you, Jack.

The President asked me to

tell you to come by soon.

He needs a little help

with his golf swing.

Happy to.

Thanks, Karl. Senator. My clients've

a substantial check for your campaign.

Why, I can't thank you enough, Jack.

We're really lucky to have you.

Hey hey hey! Slow down, you monkeys.

Here, be careful with

that. See you in the car.

Watch your brother, okay... honey.

-What do you think of my talk?

-Well, except for

the part where God wants

us to be financially liquid,

-it sounded weird.

-I meant abundance.

It means power.

Remember Exodus 32 the golden calf that

-worshipped false idols?

-Hold the horse,

she's quoting scriptures

to me. Why... Pam Abramoff,

when we met you were

reading Cosmo magazine,

mispronouncing all them Yiddish word.

Kvetch. Schlemiel. I think

I'm getting the hang of it.

-Jack, nice speech.

-Hey Adam. Thanks for showing up.

Wow! You've gone for

the whole Jew package.

I thought it made me look

more like Don Corleone.

More like Fiddler on the Roof.

Hey, don't knock Fiddler on the Roof.

It was transformational for

me when I was a teenager.

-Maybe you want to be a milkman?

-No, maybe I wanna be a real Jew.

Good-looking family you

have. Big family you have.

Pam, you remember Adam from

the college Republicans?

-Hello!

-You've done an excellent job

raising the Isis. I'm single

again. Swinging bachelor I guess.

Good luck with that.

Listen, we need to talk.

You swing by my house on

Sunday. We'll have dinner.

You mean like, a kind of date?

What business could you

possibly have with man like that?

Honey, he's got a law

degree from Brooklyn college.

He looks like a defendant on Judge Judy.

Have a little compassion. He's a

partner in a casino in Saint Martin.

He is a respectable guy who knows a

lot, could be a very useful partner.

Useful for what?

"In five years, our family

will be completely legitimate."

Would you please stop

it? Facts quoting...

movies all the times, it's irritating.

Come on, honey. You know, I love the

movie. And I'm a Hollywood producer.

You produced two Dolph

Lundgren movies piece, okay.

-You work in Washington now.

-Okay.

Washington is Hollywood with ugly faces.

I'm serious, Jack. He makes me nervous.

And another thing. How is it, that

we're late with the mortgage payment?

We are okay, ain't we?

Oh yeah! No... this just

must be some accounting thing.

I'll look into it tomorrow.

Don't worry. Put this on my desk.

I'm watching you walk away.

Still watching you walked away.

Walk away some more.

Everybody wins.

As we all know, gaming industries

is blown out across America.

This phenomenon has given great

fortune not only to our tribe,

to our people in general-

But now, we risk losing everything to

the competition over our

neighbouring tribes. The point is...

We need help from Washington.

And we need help now.

As I've said in my written statement,

Mr. Abramoff here has my full support

in recommending that he have only the

best interest of our casino at heart.

Mr. Abramoff, I have read your proposal.

I see you want one million dollars

just as a retainer to start.
