voice-mail of... -Mike Scanlon.

This mail box is full.

Please try again later.

-Is Michael in?

-I haven't seen him this morning.

Oh, I have some dry-cleaning

for him to pick-up.

I will take it.

Mike!

Mike?

Excuse me, does Abramoff knows I'm here?

Sir, I've already told you

Mr. Abramoff is unavailable.

So if I were you, I

wouldn't waste my time.

Dude, seriously. I'm

worried about Emily.

She hasn't return my

calls since yesterday.

Well, you sleep in the

bed you make, my friend.

Oh, thanks for the empathy.

I really appreciate it.

Yeah well, listen...

You can have anyone over.

Sensible people always negotiate.

All you have to do is

just make Boulis sensible.

Oh yeah, great. Thanks Jack! You

know what, I'm sure he's gonna be

thrilled about the bogus wire transfer.

I'm damn serious, Jack. What

am I gonna say about Kidan

phony wire transferring?

Gus, just let me personally apologize

for Adam Kidan. He is a social menace.

You're gonna apologize for

that phony wire transfer too?

What... what phony wire transfer?

Holy sh*t!

Gus, that was Kidan's department.

Had nothing to do with us, okay.

There is nothing that I detest

more than substantial lies, okay.

He's a errant boy, send by grocery

clerk to collect the bills, right.

Jack and I have your cash. I

can give it to you right now.

You all are out of Sunsail. As

far as I'm concerned, that's it.

Gus, we're reasonable

people here, okay! Let's...

Talk to my lawyers, alright.

Hey... listen, Jack and I would like

to settle this without lawyers, okay.

Gus, our new client's the

Chippewa tribe of Michigan

just made me the highest paid

lobbyists in our nation history, okay.

You know why? Because we help them, Gus.

And they help us and we'll help

you. You help us. You help them.

-They help you. That's how it works.

-I help who, what?

The bottom line is, we've

serious financial liquidity now.

And we want the opportunity to

prove to you, Gus, that we can take

your 11 boats and turn them into a

fleet of 30 around the world, okay.

We're talking about tripling,

possibly even quadrupling

our income in 6 months.

A floating casino empire here, dude.

And we want you to be a

major part of that, right.

We can make this happen.

I don't want Kidan.

He's a disgusting fat a**hole. I

mean, he groped me in front of Gus.

-So Kidan just disappear from Sunsail.

-How?

Jack works him like a

monkey on a stick, alright.

You let us handled that.

Your pen face makes me wanna puke.

This is the second time I've

been a victim of family violence.

Had to hire a gorilla...

-Ooh... no offense.

-None taken.

I've got a court order. Gus

Boulis can't come near the boats.

I've rented an armored plated

car because of that psychotic.

Well, did you ever think that he

might be mad at you for giving him

a check for $23 millions that's

absolutely f***ing worthless.

I'm talking about my physical safety!

His people are moving

our slots of our boats.

He's capable of all

manners of strong-arm sh*t.

Well, just don't do anything stupid.

Hey, I think you've broke something.

Well, Adam. We break

something, we fix it, right?!

He is the all time champ

bastard motherf***er of all time.

I think you'll agree, it's time

Gus Boulis was gone from Sunsail.

Let's us go talk to him. I

know how you talk to people.

You're as subtle as a f***ing

chain-saw. Look at you.

You alright?

I can't even get through the front door.

Something interesting happen

with Walther On-rapid casino.

-He did an annual audit.

-Oh... yeah.

Nothing match. They counted so

that none of Abramoff papers add up.

We're paying for hundred of thousands

worth of lunches at his restaurant.

$200,000 for his Redskins skybox.

But it's well known he

help other tribes saved

billion of dollars in taxes.

And that so called "Grassroots

Campaign" against the Jena.

It was made up of 3 people handing

out a few dozen Kinko flyers.

The guy took us for a bunch of suckers.

Son of a b*tch. He's no good.

He's now preying on the

Kickapoo and the Chocta.

Look, you tell me it's

about taking care of things,

so I only gives you a

financial piece of the casino.

I just don't want to take any

more chances with this guy.

-I don't know.

-Tony, we're old friends.

Don't make me beg.

You know, I had an

uncle who is half Jewish.

He used to relax me. Give me your hand.

Give me your hand. Give me

your hand. Palm up, palm up.

He used to do...

F***!

He scared me and relax

me at the same time.

Anyway from what you tell

me, this goof, this f***ing

Greek deserved some broken leg at least.

No, no, no! Violence sickened me.

-I hit him in the f***ing head.

-No, no! No shooting please.

You'll come down there and you'll be..

what, the ship's catering director.

What do I know about cooking?

You learn to make gyros.

Can it be that difficult.

-Gyros!? What's a gyros?

-Heroes!

Listen, I'm telling you now

like I would tell my own son.

I've been in this business, 50 years.

The correct move... is to whack him.

No, Tony. Listen, you should know

they're some important people involved

political people.

High up... way high up.

And there's a lot of money involved.

Hundreds of millions of dollars.

Everything is very,

very, very sensitive.

-Okay, I've got it cover.

-Got it cover!

What about Abramoff,

is he okay with this?

Jack? He'll never

comes down. He's in D.C.

Besides I've got the guy baffled.

Okay, I need 40 grand, right away.

Just want you to make sure Gus Boulis

never attacks me again

with a f***ing ballpoint.

Is that funny?

-A f***ing pen...

-It's not funny.

Aye, aye... listen!

Why don't you go on a vacation?

Don't worry. I'll be nice.

Jack, the IMF is never going to allow

the Russians in until Putin deals

with the human rights issues.

Come on! You don't think we've

-influence in Moscow?

-I don't care!

I'm sick and tired of waiting.

-I come all the back from Michigan.

-I know that son of a b*tch

-is back here some place.

-Excuse me, sir! Excuse me!

-Take your hands off...

-You cannot come in here.

You've no rights to go by reception...

We must talk about the 20 million

he took out from my people.

You and Scanlon.

No more hiding in your

goddamn office. -Sir...

Look, I've come all the way

from Michigan to talk to you.

From today on, Jack... I'm

gonna make you my hobby.

-Who is that guy?

-Bad karma.

Anyway, I know people that knows Putin.

Miss Miller? I am Agent

Hanlon. Please come in.

-You've something you wish to report.

-I do.

Miss Miller, is it a federal issue?

You bet!

It's a little embarrassing, Jack.

Look, he's a Jewish

kid from the West Bank.

He's tired of having Hamas lobbed

rocket into his neighbourhood.

He wanted to build a sniper

school and I help him out.

With a shipment of a

thousand night vision goggles?

Okay! So we make a lot of money,

right. Don't you think it's our

obligation to help the

children to get good karma.
