Here, here.

I'll send someone down.

Please.

Hello, I'm Marlon Mason with tonight's

winning Lotto numbers.

Tonight's Lotto jackpot is 18

million dollars.

- Oh, that's lovely.

- Good luck!

And now the first number up...

is... number...

Come on!

The first number is 6.

That's alright - we don't have to

worry about the first 3 numbers.

I understand - we've got those covered.

C'mon Miss Ireland - give us a number.

- 17!

- Ah, sweet 17! God bless you.

Are we good?

We got it covered.

It's coming up right now - 8!

- Fair enough - we got that covered.

- They didn't f*** us.

Now we get to the numbers that matter.

And coming up now, number...

- Jay! Jay!

- Just a minute. I'm checking.

- Oh, Jesus, we've got it.

- Let me hear!

Number 52.

- Do we got it? Do we got it?

- Just a minute!

Give me a chance...

- Holy mother of God, we've got the f***ing...

- Quiet!

- We need a 7.

- Please, love, a 7.

Number... 7!

- 7! 7!

- We are millionaires!

I love you! I love you!

I just realized...

we have to find out where the numbers

are. They're either...

behind the Tampon machine in the ladies'

restroom

or behind the air duct in the Igloo Lounge.

Either way we're f***ing millionaires!

I think I'll buy Dublin for a start.

What about you?

Are you alright?

I don't care about the money!

Long live the Paradise Lounge!

Hey Johnny!

How's my favorite aunt?

How's my nephew? Come here.

- How are things?

- How does it look?

- They paying you?

- Only what I can steal.

- What's this?

- The Famous Coconuts. Your brother's idea.

- A terrible idea.

- How much do they cost?

- Whatever I can get.

- Are they selling?

No - who would buy that crap!

Who's this, Benjamin Franklin?

Cool, eh? This is me.

Give me 2 of the Baron.

- Where's my change?

- Take your change in coconuts.

- We wiped your ass when you were a kid.

- We're even then.

That's the way to do it!

- Hello, Murray.

- How are you, John?

How have you been?

You guys look beautiful!

How's the beauty parlor business?

We just finished our annual

"Frost-a-thon Extravaganza".

We now about frosting...

looks like I lost all my hair.

- I was in Boca for a week.

- Fantastic.

I wasn't in Boca.

A lot of excitement here.

I was taking care of business, Johnny.

These stupid jerks nearly started

a fire here.

- What are you talking about?

- You stupid idiot!

You nearly burned the f***ing place down.

- Luigi started it.

- Me?

That Ally decided to get an extra 3

minutes on her tan and

she put aluminum foil on the bulbs.

She could have killed us all!

And what is it going to cost me

for the machine?

- It was custom made.

- For what - a dollar?

I don't have your money, Lillian.

And you're never gonna get it because

Murray's going to get it.

Yeah, Murray needs it for lap dances.

Baron wants to buy you a drink.

Busy, busy, busy.

I'm sick of it - I'm not doing it anymore.

I love you but, I'm not doing it anymore.

- 20 minutes ago we were packed.

- 20 minutes is like a lifetime ago.

Look the 8:
30 train takes them home,

and then we have the late rush.

What are you doing there?

You are paid to dance!

Take your top off darling please.

Everyone's down there drinking my booze.

A bunch of corpses.

They're not corpses.

Jay, open the door.

Come on!

- Where is he?

- He's sleeping.

- Did you tell him?

- How could I tell him?

I can't tell him.

Good things are beginning to happen.

Don't give me that Irish bullshit. The

only money coming in here is mine.

You do the accounting. Where's the money?

John. a business like this goes in cycles.

This place is a loser.

Let me tell you about these 4 guys,

there was a job to be done, and

everyone thought someone else would do it.

But nobody did it,

This made someone very angry.

Anyone could do it, but no one did.

Everyone got angry because no one did it.

What the f*** are you talking about?

I'm pulling the plug tonight.

- This will kill him.

- This will save his life.

I'd rather see him in Miami

getting a tan, chasing girls.

The money I've invested here, he could

live like a king.

So tonight it's official:

Paradise has closed.

We have some extra special talent

tonight

and now - the scariest, sexiest girl

in the world -

Monroe, Monroe from Marseilles!

- Who's that?

- That's Monroe.

Monroe? She's new?

Yeah, she's the new attraction. She's

bringing them in by the busload.

What's her name again?

Monroe. Let me introduce you, You are

her boss for Christ's sake.

Yes, let's go.

Come on!

There she goes, Monroe! Incredible!

Will you get that for me, please?

Please - come on. Get that for me!

- Monroe, Monroe!

- What?

Where the f*** are you going with that dog?

- Ray told me...

- You can't put the dog in my kitchen.

I'm putting it on the terrace.

Monroe, you're killing me!

You're busting my balls. Get the f*** out.

Not in the kitchen!

John, this is ridiculous.

This girl, Monroe has her dog in my

kitchen.

- John, I need you help.

- No, I don't care about your hot dogs.

What a dream.

How are you?

The only thing harder to do than to win

the lottery is to lose the ticket!

What do you mean, Jay?

Are you saying you do not know

where it is?

Jay...

You remember the night when Danny Cash

came around

with that $1500 bottle of Ch?teau Morgot

and insisted that

we had to stay open for half an hour

before we could drink it?

Yes, Ally was dancing and she knocked

the bottle over on my jacket.

And you took the jacket to Ling's to

get cleaned.

He charged me $100.

Do you know how many lap dances that is?

That was the night we bought that batch.

I've got to find a new dry cleaner.

- It must be somewhere.

- Showtime, Ray! Come on!

What did you say?

You keep looking...

- I'll do the show.

- I'll keep looking.

Didn't you write it down?

- Didn't you write it down?

- I've checked in the computer.

- I'm tired of looking for it!

- Jay, relax.

They swore up and down,

gone a week. Never said...

Danny Cash!

Hey, Bobby G.

You're still the best looking broad here.

Here, give me...

give me lap dances for the guys.

These are my boys - come on!

Luigi - welcome back!

- Where have you been?

- Laying low.

Danny Cash! How are you?

- You're looking good.

- Thank you. I try.

I want you to meet the guys:

Dr. Steve, Dr. Young and that is Dr. Fung.

These guys just saved my life.

Well, I go to New Jersey, OK?

Going to see that guy - you know...

the one that sells watches.

On the way back, suddenly,

I feel like pastrami.

I stop at a deli, walk in

Pastrami, sauces of all kinds,

good wine, all good.

I take a bite, and next thing I know

pastrami is caught in my throat.

I can't breathe.

Can't breathe and my eyes are

bulging out.

In the mirror across from me, I look

like Rodney Dangerfield!

Dr. Steve, out of nowhere,

runs over

performs a f***ing

maneuver called Heinklik.

Heimlich.

He's grabbing me like this:

I'm looking in the mirror and it's surreal.

Dr. Wong comes and hits me low,
