Success seems to find him at every turn and after falling in love with the beautiful Aline (Delphine Chaneac), luck seems to be on his side.

#I know your dreams#

#I've been anything

you want to be#

#Oh, oh#

#I'm a cult of personality#

#Like Mussolini#

#and Kennedy#

#I'm the cult

of personality#

What I don't get is, why

send all this crap to Israel?

It's got to cost more to

ship than it's worth.

Yeah. Levi was

too smart for that.

Something's not right here.

Give me a hand

just for a second.

Holy sh*t.

Bingo. That's a lot of f***ing money.

Hello.

This is Izek.

Good.

You have my money?

Yeah, It looks like we have well

over two million here.

Yeah, it's 2.8.

Listen, man,

I didn't count

every f***ing bill.

All right?

Are you still there?

Yeah. Where are you?

I'm in New York city.

So, how do we do this?

I make the arrangements.

You call me back in 20.

What's going on?

He asked me to call him back

in 20 minutes.

Hello.

Hey, this is Izek.

Okay, this is what you do!

You bring the bags to

the "Holiday Inn" at "Laguardia".

Okay?

What about Yoni?

Well, when I get the cash,

I cut him loose.

Now, bring the bags

to the Bellman by 2:00 A.M.

He's gonna be wearing

a red carnation.

What is this, a scene

from China Town?

You want me to leave

$3 million with a bellboy

wearing a red f***ing carnation?

What can I say? I love the classics.

So when he says,

Levi Cohen, Beverly Hills?

You hand them the bags

I take it from there.

Yes?

Okay. Okay.

The eagle has landed.

You're free to go.

Your family loves you, man.

They do.

Vamanos.

Go get a cab. Forget this

ever happened.

As I looked around me that

day, I realized I'd finally arrived.

Wed all found

the American dream.

We'd had it all along.

We had each other.

And Yoni and I never

did get those Mustangs.

But we got something bigger

than our wildest dreams.

#Money, money, money, money#

With money earned

the old fashioned way.

#Money# Hard work and

keeping your hands clean.

#Money#

The thing about driving is,

it's all in the gut.

A matter of instinct.

You could keep going straight,

or take a turn.

And find a new way

you'd never seen before.

It's like that poem about

the roads I always liked.

"Two roads diverged in a Yellow wood.

"I took the one less traveled on,

and that has made all the difference. "
