I'm haemorrhaging money like

Niagara Falls out of my ass.

Sunsail, the restaurant, the

school. They all got me strapped.

I'm bouncing checks all over the place.

And now, I really don't

remember the 2nd restaurant.

What the hell do you

need the 2nd restaurant?

-One of them got to be kosher.

-Aww, come on!

There isn't a decent kosher restaurant

-... anywhere near K Street.

-So...

-We need more clients.

-You need to chill out, dude.

I got a phone call this morning from

Chief Nokoaht of the Texas Kickapoo.

Nokoaht of the Kickapoo. You're kidding?

We're golden, baby.

He wants to meet with Bush about

oil drilling rights. I told him,

if you want to get her done it's gonna

cause him a million a month retainer.

-Can you can get that in the end zone?

-He loves what

-we've done with the Chippewas, baby.

-Awesome!

If that's true, man... you made

him show you the money fast.

-Show me the money!

-Show me the money!

You hear that? Give me five.

Keep in under the radar.

Congressman, I was on the phone this

very day with the Governor of Texas

who told me personally that

all of his Congressional

district are gonna vote no on the bill.

That is correct!

Adam Kidan:
In like Flynn. U

r now proud owner of Sunsail!

Congressman... look, my mother is

very ill. She's on the other line.

Could I call you back?

Yes, thank you sir.

We did it. We're in! We're

in! We're in like Flynn...

Look at that! Who's Vegas?

-Who's Vegas?

-You... Jack.

Vegas, baby!

-I see you're enjoying the new digs.

-You are the man, Oscar!

Glad to have you at Greenberg, Jack.

Along with the Coushatta,

the Choctaw and the Chippewa.

And don't forget the Kickapoo too.

Mikey... baby!

Chippewa likes essential, dude.

Beautiful Saginaw, Michigan.

Oh man... can Pastar keep goal,

it's a perfect timing

because you know why?

We just closed Sunsail. We owned it.

Oh sweet, dude!

Our kwan is so flow, daddy-o.

How goes it down there

with all the troglodytes?

The what?

Troglodytes... it's... f***ing

look it up. What am I? A dictionary!

Dude, listen, listen... Slater

Bates rock it today. We are in.

-What're you saying? We won?

-We did it!

Bernie Sprague is out, Poncho is in.

Considered us high

brother Chippewa, dude.

You are gold, you know!

When it rain, it pours.

Alright now. We got to start

talking about billings figure.

I want 20 millions from

these monkeys right away.

Yes, big chief Rainmaker.

Oh, you have to know,

Sprague is super pissed

about this whole deal, okay.

He took it really hard.

-Oh yeah, what is that job he's got?

-Parks and recreation commissioner.

Yeah well, doesn't

the council control it?

Why don't you just tell Poncho

to eliminate the position.

You've got it, mate.

fatten the budget...

fiscal discipline...

No... I don't know. Maybe it's bad

karma to kick a guy when he's down.

Oh yeah, right!

Not only are we gonna

kick him when he's down,

we're gonna kick him

till he passes out, dude.

And then we're gonna beat him over

the head with the baseball bat,

rolled him up into an old

rug, kick him off the cliff

into the pounding surf below.

You go take a jog, buddy.

Mr. Abramoff's office.

-Yeah, ring it Jack.

-Excuse me, who's calling?

-Bernie.

-Bernie? Bernie who?

Tell him I'm a rabbi

from the synagogue board.

Mr. Abramoff is in a

meeting. Can he return?

Tell him he's going

to have company soon.

-Are all this bastards related to Gus?

-What do you mean?

There is enough staff in here

to run an aircraft carrier.

-They are all family.

-Really?

This isn't the old country. We're

in America. Wait for me there.

Here it is.

This is just today's take?

K Street Goes Kosher

We want to make sure all our

kosher friends in Washington

are well taken care of

and they will be here.

Yeah honey, I promise.

-Only two restaurants.

-Aah Jack...

BEST Corned Beef In Town

Abramoff Builds His Empire

Mike! Mike! Why is Susan

Schmidt trying to reach you?

She just leave a message

for you on my cellphone.

Ignored her. She is a nosy

reporter from the post.

-Either Susan is a friend?

-Babe, I don't care

how many white wines

breecher you drink with her.

This is business, so f***

her. I'm not calling her back.

Did you see the electrician up

there? He says he'll be here at 4.

What do I look like? The help.

You're so useless... where the

hell do you think you're going?

I'm pretty sure I told you

I have a business meeting.

A business meeting? What, in your

flip-flop? How dumb do you think I am?

What, I have business

to discuss with Brian.

You have business with Brian.

I love you, but you're getting

kind of nuts, you know that.

I gotta send Brian to Michigan

to help over the Chippewa deal.

And what part of your dubious dealings

with the Chippewa is Brian partied to?

Baby, Brian is helping us

fight the good fight, okay.

Oh God! Why do I waste my time

here with you Delaware whizz?

Oh yeah, because you'd rather

be at some gay leader's dinner

party in Georgetown, right?

-You bet I would.

-Later.

Mike!

overdoing it a little bit, Adam?

Hey, how big is your place?

-Yeah well, I've got a family of 7.

-Oh, I've got people too.

It's a real beauty deal here.

Why shouldn't I have a few perks?

Well, just try to use a moducal

of self-control. Is that possible?

This isn't exactly Manhattan.

I'm dying of boredom here.

Yeah, Adam! Listen to me.

I just spoke to the money people.

The last financials you send over

don't make any goddamn sense.

-I think that's maybe like pizza?

-Adam?

-Oh dios posti. I kick your ass, okay!

-I'm gonna have to call you back.

Adam, don't hang...

Twelve people here... Tonia,

Nick, Dimitri. You know, I...

You know, I'm not the

welfare department, okay.

Finding your relatives

new jobs is not my gig.

My family... they all moved here to

Florida because of me. They starve?

You know what? I'm

really not having as much

fun here as it might look like, okay.

I don't need your family

around skimming the take.

Listen to me, you dumb Jew bastard!

The wire transfer was a phony.

My nephew, my sister-in-law...

all of them. They all go

back on the pay roll tomorrow.

Now, you listen to me. You're out,

Gus. You don't like it, sue me!

Sue me!

I'm not going to sue you. I'll kill you.

Since my previous statement,

I've come to learn that

Sunsails casino now finds

itself under new ownership.

The new owner has a reputation

for honesty and integrity.

Adam Kidan is most well known for his

successful enterprise Kwikee mattress.

But he is also well known as a

respected member of his community.

While Mr. Kidan certainly

has his hands full,

it's up to him to clean

up Sunsail's reputation.

His track records in business,

leads me to believe that

he'll easily transform Sunsail.

From a questionable enterprise, to

an outstanding establishment that

the gaming community can be proud of.

I can't hear you!

Please... Make him stop...
