Nice piece of boat like this,

dude. You gotta be a content man.

Yeah, except for the

f***ing Attorney General.

Because of him, I need to

keep in step with my sanity.

So, let's cut the crap.

You jacks planning to pay my price?

Alright look, we can give

you 20 cents from the dollar.

It's the best we can offer you.

There's no negotiation.

You pay my price, that's it!

Oh yes, I keep the ten percent

interest. I run the business.

And don't call me 'dude.'

"Are you talking to me, huh?"

"Are you talking to me? It's your move."

"You make the move, huh."

Sorry. Jack and his boys

watch too many movies.

Movies, I didn't invite you

here to listen to comedies.

What, you joke with me?

Movies? You guys... get out!

-Whoa fellas...

-Hey... you come back when

you could show my uncle some respect.

No, I'm just trying to lighten the mood.

Olag, Christos...

Come on. Who doesn't

like impression, right?!

What the f***!?

Oh, that went well.

-F***ing idiot. Who doesn't negotiate?

I know. I'm telling you.

He's a hard ass dude.

You watch me put some hot

sauce in this f***er tabbouleh.

He is not going to

scare easy. I don't how

the hell you're gonna

get him to negotiate.

Yeah, well you know what. Tried

the Congress of United States.

Boulis will turn around.

Mikey, trust me. Hang on, Bob?

-Yeah Jack.

-Listen! I need a favor for a client.

Sure! Name it. Which

tribe we talking about?

No, not Indians. Greeks. Casino

gambling in South Florida.

I represent the 18th

District of Ohio, Jack.

It's a bit of hot potato. Can

you give me a pass on this one?

After the money I funnel

to you this year, Bob...

No, I don't think you

get a pass, alright.

I need your help, I need it now.

Michael sends you the details. Thanks.

So, here's the casino

file. Jack expect to see you

on the C-Span no later than Thursday.

-Tell him he's pushing it.

-Bob, he knows how

busy you are with the

upcoming fall elections.

In fact, if I'm not mistaken,

he is organizing a huge

fund raiser for you next Tuesday.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I'm an ardent supporter

of consumer's rights.

At the heart of my comments today

is how certain gaming

companies treats their patrons.

There're a few bad apples out

there who don't play by the rules.

And who must be... weeded... weeded out.

One such example, is the

case of Sunsails casino

and it's proprietor Gus Boulis.

Ney's the man. Ney's the man.

-What's all the noise about kids?

-Oh hey Manny, we're just working hard

-finding a buyer for your client.

-Hey good,

glad to hear it. Any life one?

Oh yeah, we're all over it, Manny.

-No shady one from the Marianas, ok.

-Absolutely!

I serve this country, and no other.

Listen, we need to give everything

we can on this Boulis, alright.

I want you to call our

friends at Fox News.

And have Delay hammer Jeb Bush

son on the Florida. No, never mind!

I'll call Delay myself.

He wants me to hook him up

with a Harvard college Republican's.

Thinks that will made

him looks good in front

of all those Ivy league monkeys.

Yeah, good luck with

that. You know what,

he was a pest exterminator

in Laredo, Texas, dude.

That's gonna be a huge

challenge in Cambridge.

Hey man, he clawed his

way up to Majority Leader,

now he's got his eyes

on the White House.

Delay? Are we talking

about the same guy?

He's an alcoholic whose famous

for raunchy party before he met God.

What the hell, dude?

What the hell was that?

Never before has an individual who's

been steadfast to our principles

risen as high as House

Majority Leader Tom Delay.

Tom Delay is the most effective,

I would say he was the most

effective whip in the House...

and I would say he's the most

effective Majority Leader and

thank God, Tom Delay is the Majority

Leader in the House of Representatives

and I would just like to

add one thing to that because

I'm sure we all want

to hear from Mr. Delay

but Tom Delay is who all of us

hope to be when we grow up, Tom...

You truly are my dearest friend.

Senator Jarvis, I have a check

for you from Choctaw Indian.

Huh, that's my easy partner, Jack.

And they want to wish you

the best for your campaign.

Congratulate and thanks

each of you for getting

involved in politic,

through young Republicans.

What you're doing is

commendable and important because

as goes politics, so goes our country.

Grover...

Glad you're on the team.

Jack, you know how I

feel about freebies.

Poncho is the third Indian

you made me babysit this month.

There is also so much Congressmen

of American for tax reform want to be

educated about the

benefits of Indian gaming.

Grover...

Grover, how about we

fatten Poncho donations to

ATR to help you out with

your operation costs?

That be a start. I have a

hole in my budget of 75K.

Ouch.... alright, I'll

look into it, champ.

Meanwhile, where's the

f*** is your evil elf?

Mikey boy?

He was supposed to take Poncho

off my hands three hours ago.

Private Property

- No Trespassing

You guys want to see something crazy?

A million smackeroo, baby. Give me five!

-How sexy am I now to you right now?

-Very sexy.

You sure you're not a drug's

dealer or something, baby?

-Drug dealer my ass.

-Oh, your lackey's defending you.

Jack and I are doing God's work, baby.

And you don't think the Indian's

Affair committee is going

to take issue with all the

high fees you've been charging?

Since when have you become

an expert on Indian's affairs?

I only want to know a thing or

two about Washington, you know.

Those b*tches're doing the exact same

thing we are. Trying to open casinos.

They're just jealous, because

they don't make as much as you.

You're so right!

There it's baby...

Shangri-La. Kublai Khan Xanadu.

Sorry, babe!

-Oh my God!

-What! You don't like?

-This is high end!?

-This is like

something you find in

South Hamptons, right?

South Hamptons, have you

ever been to South Hamptons?

-This is great for Delaware, dude.

-Right...

a little bit of paint and there.

-Come on!

-Mike, have you lost your mind?

-It's a what?

-A Zamboni.

A Zamboni machine for smoothing

out the surface of the ice.

-What ice?

-The ice for the hockey ring.

A hockey ring?

-I don't see a hockey ring.

-Oh no, not here.

It's being built somewhere

else. Honey... look.

These are all temporary facilities.

It's all part of the new secular academy

and sport's center that I'm building

for all these kids. For our kids.

You were serious about

building a school?

Oh of course. You know how I feel

about the education

the kids these day get.

-A hockey ring?

-Baby!

Baby! I thought you had be happy.

I just bought us the biggest house

in the whole damn state.

-It's astonishing, dude.

-For the Addams family, maybe...

that you would pay money for this dump.

You kidding me? This place could be like

the Playboy's mansion or something, huh.

It's all part of the bigger

picture, Pam. Philanthropy!

The Academy, the library, my
