He's clean.
So...
Why are you here? Hm?
There was a time
You misunderstood.
I wasn't asking for the time
I was just saying "There was a time."
There was a time?
Take brown sugar backthere for example.
She's pretty f***ing foxy right?
She's 70.
If she's a day.
But there was a time.
I don't follow.
- The name's Smith. I'm from out of town.
Listen Mr Smith...
The reason I'm in town
..is because of a Kansas City Shuffle.
What's a Kansas City Shuffle?
Kansas City Shuffle is
when everybody looks right and you go left.
Never heard of it.
- Hm.
It's not something people hear about.
Falls on deaf ears mostly.
But this particular one's
been over 20 years in the making.
No small matter.
Requires a lot of planning.
It involves a lot of people.
People conneccted only
by the slightest of events.
Like whispers in the night...
..in that place that never forgets
It all starts with a horse.
It's what they called back then
a drugstore handicap
A guy wants what the fella calls a sure thing
so he schemes to make it so
He calls in the doc a nobbler from Antwerp
known for his savvy but not for his discretion
Oh f*** me baby f*** me baby
The same could be said
for Doc's jelly on the side - GIoria
it was again baby?
Which brings us to Abe because GIoria
was too much jelly for one outfit
Hey baby is your wife around?
What do you want?
-Who is it Abe?
Ahit's Seymour
Sure tell that b*tch to open her eyes
maybe then she'd see more
Seymour says hello.
What are you doing calling me here?
Christmas came early this year baby.
I got a present for you.
Remember my friend Doc?.
Now Abe wasn't a nosy fella
but he had a nose
And right below his nose was his mouth
Do you remember GIoria the hooker?
Well Gloria's got this friend Doc
who's got a line on a doped-up racehorse.
The fix is in at Aqueduct
Seventh horse. Tenth race.
- Doped up?
And then there was this joker who had ears
Let's get back
who Iooked Iike somebody's uncle
Max who's your favourite uncle?
OK who's your second favourite uncle?
Just pay attention.
I got something here.
And before you know it
folks are getting a big dose of the gimmies
and men start talking their hats off.
And that Manischewitz Grapevine Wine spills in
your ear and tells you you got a sure thing
and what's worse is you start to believe it
At Ieast that's how it went with old Max
who wasn't so much old as he was tired
Tired of being a dog without a day
Tired of waking up and finding
that his dreams were only dreams
We're leaving.
But mostly
Max was tired of not having a front Iawn
Make sure he doesn't come home late.
I will.
- I was talking to your son.
You thinkthat's funny do you?
Uh-huh. Bye Mom.
Y eah. Bye Mom!
Love you.
They're off.
All right if your ma asks
where were we today?
Shea Stadium.
- To see?
Mets v Phillies.
- Good man. Give me the post-game.
Stallard gave up six runs in the first five innings.
Ed Kranepool hit a line drive down right field
but it hit the wall fouled by a foot.
Gonder hit a groundball
between first and second
but he's so slow second baseman
Did you get all that from the radio?
Mm-hm.
You're good.
OK I'll be right back.
No no no. You've got to stay in the car.
Why?
Because they don't let little boys inside the track.
Saul's dad takes him to the track.
Well Saul's dad is a degenerate gambler.
And if you're the son of a degenerate gambler
they let you in.
It's economically viable.
Are you going to be a degenerate gambler?
Hey. You know better than that.
Your old man's smart.
He only plays a sure thing.
Look...
This money's gonna get you through Harvard.
And you're gonna be a docctor.
But until then...
you've got to stay in the car.
Hey.
Next weekend you and me go to a ballgame.
OK.
- OK.
I love you kid.
I love you too Dad.
Wait watch. Watch watch watch.
I almost forgot. 15 minutes.
Start counting.
The next race at the Aqueduct is the tenth race
Come on come on.
the final turn and Number Seven has moved
into fifth position on the outside
Number Two has the lead
Come on.
Number One is against the rail
to pick up the pace on the outside
Yes!
Yes come on baby come on!
Let's go!
to challenge goes clear
and Number Seven takes the Iead!
It's Number Seven who now has the lead
It's strolling clear
Yes!
Oh!
Number Seven has fallen!
Number One comes home
and takes the Iead to win it
Max woke up to find his dreams
had just been the stuff. of pipes
I want to place a bet.
- How much?
OOh you must feel real lucky.
I'll take your bet
And lay it off.
I've got a bookie's bookie.
I'll give you 2-1 on the horse.
Uh-uh. The racing form says 9-1.
So you go to a ticket vendor
with your 20 grand in hand
and you get 9-1 if the spread sticks.
You come in here with your pockets turned out
you get 2-1.
The juice is ten.
That means if you lose you're all in for 22 grand.
Can you pay these monies? Huh? Can you?
Yeah.
Just to be clear
if you Iose
..you're gonna owe a lot of money
to the kind of men
you do not want to owe
the smallest amount of money to.
Henry!
Henry!
Henry!
Henry!
Hey buddy. You got a light?
No. Henry!
In that case how about the 20 Gs
What have you done with my son?
- He's on his way home. Just like you.
Urgh!
Where am l?
Roth he'll tell you everything I swear.
He already has.
Please.
I have a family.
PIease
PIease!
Where's my boy?
Henry!
Where are they?
Henry!
Henry!
F***.
Sh*t.
Jesus.
"F***. sh*t Jesus" is right.
I don't understand.
Why did they kill Max's family?
New outfit in town.
They didn't want somebody else
betting on a fixed horserace with them.
Trying to make an impression.
That's a f***ing story man.
Charlie Chaplin entered a Charlie Chaplin
look-a-like contest in Monte Carlo
and came in third.
Now that's a story.
This...
This is something else.
So that's a Kansas City Shuffle?
No.
It's just the inciting incident.
The catalyst.
This - is a Kansas City Shuffle.
They look right
And you...
go left.
Sorry about that son.
Sometimes there's more to life than just living.
Besides...you can't have a Kansas City Shuffle
without a body.
He's down!
- Get the roof!
Up there!
I'm coming!
Coming.
It took you long enough.
You're not Nick.
You're not as tall as I thought you'd be.
Well I'm short for my height.
That makes sense because I can usually
tell how tall someone is by their knock...
You have a deceptively tall knock.
Congratulations.
So it's a good thing?
I open the door expeccting you to be up here
you're down here.
That combined with a low centre of gravity -
forget about it.
Who are you?
I'm Slevin.
And what happened to your nose?
I was using it to break some guy's fist.
Somebody hit you?
Yeah... I was kind of expeccting it though.
You were kind of expeccting it?
