foundation, the restaurants,

the boats, the hotels...

all gonna pay for it.

-Hotels?

-Yeah, I'm looking at

a property right now. The

Chitimacha wants to invest in me.

Jack, what are you doing?

Is this why we aren't keeping

up with the house payment?

Honey, think what you want about

me. Because this is for our kids

and their kids. There

are priorities here.

This is even above board.

"Joseph Kennedy built up

his entire business empire

-with the help of his Chicago mobs..."

-Jack... honey!

I love you. And don't

take this the wrong way,

but you're completely insane.

Dude, we're gonna rips this crap

out, throw in a sound system...

they'll hear us for miles, right?

A sound system? What

about the furniture?

-Knock yourself out, baby.

-Scanlon.

-Mike Scanlon?

-Yo!

Susan Schmidt with the Washington Post.

Hi, what can I do for you, Susan.

Well, I wanted to see if

you would comment on that

new minimum wage bill that

Senate Legislators passed

out of respect to your textile

clients in the Northern Mariana's?

Oh, you know, I don't believe they

have all the votes on that, so...

I don't think that bill is

going to make it, actually.

I'm also curious about the

works Preston Gates' does

on behalf of native Americans.

We're thinking of doing a

report on Indian's gaming.

Oh yeah! Well, good luck with that.

That should bored your readers to death.

Really?

Looks like your Mariana's

Islands are f***.

The Senate passed the bill,

minimum wage is on the way.

I'm f***. Jack said he'd canned me if we

ever reached the end zone on this one.

Well, be a man now. Go break the news.

What's wrong, Randy? Somebody die?

You guys didn't watch?

-Hmm.

-Yeah!

The Senate passed the

bill. The Marianas are f***!

So why the long face? This is great.

-Okay... yeah.

-Oh look.

Let me run it down for you,

boy. This is how it works.

Do you have any idea how much

more money our clients are gonna

have to pay us to get that bill

killed in the house. In fact...

I'm gonna call them right now.

Tell them they gotta

double their retainer, Enid.

Sorry to interrupt you

all so hard at work.

Jack, I need you to see

me for dinner tonight.

Okay!

-These sashimi toro is excellent here.

-Okay.

Not as good as it's gonna be

at my new restaurant though.

I just hired a top dollar

Tokyo chef, 5 stars.

New restaurant. Tokyo chef.. 5

stars, how're you feeling Jack?

Perfect! Why do you ask?

No reason other than I think you maybe

suffering from delusions

of f***ing grandeur.

I'm gonna have to let you go. You've

violated the firm's ethics policy.

We asked to help Gus

Boulis sell his business.

Not elbow your way in and

tried to buy it yourself.

Your client is difficult.

Do you think any buyers out

there will agree to his

terms and try to help you out?

Help us out? Using Adam

Kidan as the frontman?

He is a good man. He's a

respectable businessman.

He's bankrupt. He's been disbarred.

He's a mob connected sleaze ball.

He has told me he has

a clean bill of health.

Clean bill of health? I'd

say he was a cheap fat whore

with a clap. My God, his

own mother was whacked.

What the hell are you talking about?

If you're doing business

with this guy, then so are we.

You think I want my firm

connected with someone like that?

And Jack, what's even

worse? You lied to us.

I need you to clean out your office

by the end of the month. You're done.

You don't think, do you Manny?

You've never got me and

never have and never will.

Am I missing something

you want us to hear?

Uh yeah! I'd say you're

missing some new ones.

You're missing a big f***ing new ones.

The Wall Street Journal

is coming out with a piece

called the "Super lobbyist".

Do you know what that is?

That's me. I'm the "Super lobbyist".

I get paid higher retainer fees

than anybody else in this town

and you goddamn well know it.

And I'm gonna have a new restaurant,

Anything else?

I love my kids. I worked

out every single day.

You're gonna come out the

losing end of this one, Manny.

You're gonna lose every single one

of those Indian tribes as clients.

And you know what I'm gonna do?

Tomorrow morning I'm going to go

outside and when K-Street

finds out that I'm available...

Listen, there will be 5 f***ing

law firms, top drawers...

who will be dying to hire me.

They're gonna be jumping up and down,

little kids, who needs

to go to the camp,

"We have hired Jack Abramoff!"

Then you should have

no reason to be unhappy.

Absolutely!

Nice piece. You playing

cowboy now with those Indian?

-You've kept me waiting.

-Why do you get the shooter?

You didn't tell me about

your dis-barredment,

not to mention you're

a f***ing bankruptcy,

not to mention the f***ing

mob connection in Saint Martin,

not to mention the f***ing

murder of your own f***ing mother.

-Well, I was gonna tell...

-When... 2020,

you're a dangerous man, Adam.

That's why I've got the f***ing gun.

-Okay... so, go ahead, shoot me!

-Jesus...

... just get in my house. You're

a f***ing menace. You know that!

You ought to wear a sign around

your neck as a public service,

"Beware Adam Kidan, f***ing menace."

-Where's Pam?

-With the kids.

I send her to see her folks.

So you're the married dude, and

I'm like the hot underage mistress?

Jack, you gotta relax, maybe

even pyschologise, okay.

You gotta ask yourself:

What does Gus Boulis want?

He wants to make millions

of dollars and keep

his f***ing business.

That's what he wants.

What Boulis wants is to keep his

company and sell it at the same time.

-He wants both.

-So how do we give him both?

What if we quietly kick

back Boulis' ten percent,

call it a consulting fees?!

How does that get us the

missing piece of finance, Adam...

-I'm already...

-Look Jack,

we're just a few deal points away now.

Boulis wants to keep his piece

of the business under the table,

that's against the law.

He'll have to take our I.O.U.s

For 20 millions, that's a

hell lot of I.O.U.s, Adam.

Now, you gonna have to

find another way to pay him.

Trust me to handle the

formalities, sweetheart.

Jack, the boats can be

ours after the weekend

and your money problems are over.

Just keep it legal, okay.

I have a better idea: Why

don't you show me your p*ssy!

Washington's New Hot Spot

Republican Big-Wigs

Cuddle Up To Jack Abramoff

... allowing the feng shui in here...

Here, one thing missing!

Congressman... Listen...

yes sir, we need your vote.

Tickets... for the Redskins,

Sunday? Absolutely no problem.

I have had the honor

to know Tom Delay...

The best Majority Leader

that we had in Congress

in the history of the United States.

Jack Abramoff:
The Super lobbyist

Hi daddy-o! How much if I drill

this in if I'm left handed? Come on!

-25K.

-You're a cheap whore. Come on,

halfway across the tarmac.

-Alright 50K. You'll never make it.

-Alright, here we go.

Daddy need a new pair of shoes...

-Oh Mikey...

-What's the matter, brother?
