Finding Amanda Page #3

Did I leave you

a good tip last time?

- I think so.

- Well, if you're not

sure, it wasn't big enough.

I'm gonna leave you

a very nice tip this visit.

Oh, I don't expect anything,

Mr. Mendon.

It's gonna be big,

so get ready. I feel lucky.

I would like $15,000

in cash

and you can hold the rest.

Hopefully I won't need it.

Ooh, gosh,

I sure hope not.

I'm gonna need my supervisor's

approval on this, Mr. Mendon.

Why? Why? I'm a regular--

I'm a regular player here.

We need approval on

anything over $10,000

and this is way

over that amount.

Marty?

He's busy right now.

Can you wait two seconds?

Is Michael Henry here?

Taylor, can I

tell you something?

You know these people?

They're all about

the money.

They don't see

beyond that.

They don't care

about this.

What is that?

The relationship.

This relationship

right here.

Oh.

This relationship right here,

this is real.

The rest of it,

as far as I'm concerned--

bullshit.

Michael, what is

the issue?

Um, we had that situation

last time you were here--

I hesitate to even

call it a situation--

that minor non-event.

I don't remember that.

The check that bounced.

That was my business

manager's fault.

I told you that.

I explained that.

Hey hey, you're preaching

to the choir.

You're the preacher,

I'm up in the loft.

I got the music,

I'm singing.

And I'm also listening

and I'm understanding.

And I'm in complete

agreement.

- Hey, Michael.

- Hey, look at you!

Look how hot you are!

I can feel the heat way over here!

You bastard! My eyebrows are

almost completely burned off.

That guy's a complete prick.

No, he and I--

we don't have this.

This is what I have

with him.

Well, that looks

like what we have.

What? God, no no.

Look at this.

This only goes one way.

Look, it's me giving. Giving.

It looks the same to me.

No no, we--

we have this.

- See, there it is, Daddy.

- 'Kay.

I still don't understand.

Listen,

Do you guys not want my action

here? Is that what it is?

No no, it's not that. No.

'Cause just tell me,

Michael.

Because if that's true, I'll

go across the street right now.

You know how much money I lose.

They'd be thrilled to have me.

Okay, now you're hurting me.

I'll handle these pricks.

You're good to go.

Go on, go get you some money

and start having some fun.

As they come into

the stretch,

Dugal on the inside,

Cootie Booton on the outside.

Dugal finding more

of the rail

but here comes

Cootie Booton.

Cootie Booton's finding

another gear.

Nose to nose with Dugal.

Here comes the wire.

Cootie Booton in front.

A desperate last lunge

from Dugal.

Dugal wins by a nose!

Cootie Booton

an unlucky second.

And a long way back

to Hankus Maximus III

with Mr. Charlie

rounding out...

Come on, three.

There you go.

Come on, three.

Go, three.

Go, three. Go, three.

Go, three!

No, six-- three.

No six-- three.

Three three three!

Where's the wire-- the wire?

Where is the wire?

- Three.

- That's the winner.

And as they head down

the back stretch

The first time in their

mile-and-three-quarters journey...

Cocktails.

Cocktails.

- Miss?

- What can I get you?

You have--

- Do you have Jameson's?

- Yeah.

I'll take a diet coke.

And the Jameson's?

No, just the coke.

Uh, diet.

You have lettuce

on you.

Oh, it's this shirt.

It came that way.

Cocktails.

Cocktails.

And that's all from

Hapsburg, Pennsylvania.

First post tomorrow

at 7:
00 a.M.

Drive safely

and good night.

- Hello?

- So you

actually went?

Yeah.

How are you?

- I'm home.

- Good.

There were quite a few

calls from work today.

I guess you didn't tell anyone

you were running off.

They camera-blocked all day.

They didn't need me.

If they call again,

tell them I'll be back

by show time

tomorrow night.

Or I'll call them. Yeah,

I'll be back. Don't worry.

How much

have you lost?

Honey-- honey, this is

not about gambling.

I told you.

Even if I wanted to gamble,

where would I get the money?

I don't have an ATM card.

I don't have my checkbook.

I don't have any access to cash.

This is not about gambling.

Hello?

Do you know where

the Aztec Casino is?

The Aztec? What, you mean

like the Indians?

I spoke to Lauren a little

while ago-- Amanda's friend.

She said that's the name

of the casino

Where Amanda hangs out

to do her work.

If you're really serious

about finding her,

you might want

to start there.

Cocktails.

Cocktails.

What can I get you?

Club soda.

Cocktails?

Interesting theme

for a casino.

You know, the Aztecs

performed human sacrifices.

That's one of the reasons

they were wiped out by Cortez

- and the conquistadors.

- I wouldn't know.

We don't get a lot

of 'em in here.

Right.

So-- so listen,

I'm in town by myself.

Okay.

And, you know how it is.

It gets-- gets a little lonely at night.

Sure.

So I was hoping to

find some company.

- Company?

- Right.

You're asking me

about some company?

Right.

I get off at 2:
00.

I don't kiss, I don't call you

"sweetheart" or "darling,"

And I don't take it

in the ass.

Oh now, hold on.

Cash only.

No, I'm looking

for a girl.

I don't do three-ways.

No, just a girl.

I'm looking for

just a girl.

Oh.

Check over

by the elevators.

Thanks.

I'm super-hung

if it makes any difference.

It doesn't.

Oh, fine.

You and your friend,

you're not gonna

leave me alone, are you?

- No?

- We appreciate it, though.

- Have fun.

- You guys.

Hey, stud, how--

Oh my God.

Oh, my gosh!

- Hi, stranger.

- Uncle Taylor!

What are you doing here?

Well, you know,

me and Aztecs.

How's Aunt Lorraine?

Is she here?

No, she's home.

This is-- well, this

is a nice surprise.

Yeah.

So do you want to go and talk

someplace? You know, catch up?

Um, yeah, I would love that.

I just-- I really can't right now.

Can you take a break?

I can't. Slow night.

Gotta make the rent.

Hi, sweetheart.

I love your shirt.

Go down on me for free,

it's yours.

Guys, guys, is that

really necessary?

It's okay.

That was rude.

Um, listen, Uncle Taylor,

I really need you to, um...

I know what

you're doing, Amanda.

What?

I know what

you're doing here.

Yeah, I think everyone

knows what I'm doing here.

You don't care?

Why should I care?

It's my job.

Sh*t.

This a**hole.

Hi.

This young lady

bothering you, sir?

No.

Thank you for asking.

I'm not talking to you,

am I, sweetheart?

No, I'm fine.

This is my niece.

Oh, really?

Never heard that one before.

You a guest

at the hotel?

No, I'm staying

at the--

Feel free to enjoy

the casino,

But elevators are for

hotel guests, okay?

- Thanks.

- Okay.

Prick. Give him 20 bucks, he doesn't

hassle you for a couple hours.

So, can we talk?

Listen, I really

gotta go. Okay?

- What time do you get off?

- Um, one more customer.

- Can you hang?

- Sure.

All right, I'll meet you

out front by Azi.

- Who?

- The big statue guy in the lobby.

- Great. Okay.

- Okay?

Bye.

- Howdy, you.

- Hey, gorgeous.
