- Yeah. $5.20.

- Keep the change

- Thanks

Hey, here go that guy

who gave us that money.

- Hey, man Come on, man

- No, I'm all right

dd

dI heard my father say

I'd never come to much dd

I think if I found

that money, I'd give it back.

You know what my horoscope

said today, Bobby?

It said, "Beware of strangers

bearing gifts because what is

free is too expensive"

Ain't no missin' money

Government's so deep in debt,

they arrange an accident

money fallin' out of the back

of an armored truck

so they can bail out the S & L's

- Hey,Joey

- Hey, Lindey

Did Dino make his run tonight?

You lost too, huh? Everybody

took the Sixers with the points

- I need a Rolling Rock

- If I found that

million, I'd go to the dentist.

Then, I'd get rid of that

horrible rug in the den

But, first, I'd go to the dentist

Joey, treatin'yourself royally

on my money?

- Your money?

- My money.

You owe me at least

a full tank of gas

for all them rides

home from the dock,.Joe.!

You hit me up for a ten-spot

the last time you took out your b*tch

- Whoa Her name's Monica

- All right

Thank you Really

Dino

- Hello, Lindey

- Yo

Bud Light

Hey, Dino,

I got that ten-spot I lost on the game.

Hey, Lindey! So, what would it cost

to buy the house a drink?

What are you gonna use

for money, deutsche marks?

Like I was saying,

how much is it gonna cost...

to get everybody in this bar so drunk

they're pissin'out their ears?

- Four hundred bucks.

- Four hundred bucks? Everybody?

Everybody, including me!

All right, then, there's

gonna be no more bitchin'

about this man Dino Palladino

How he comes in here every night

and he books your bets and...

- he doesn't pay off

because I'm livin' proof

- C-notes.

Not even Atlantic City can provide

what Dino Palladino provides

to the South Philly

gamblin' community

- All right,.Joey.

- Put your money away.

All right, comin' up

Who's next?

No loyalty

You bet against our Sixers?

Ah, it wasn't B-ball

Picked a pony

- It's a pony

- A pony?

Yeah

- You and me

- Let's not panic Lorraine,

take care of those guys

- What do you got? Two Bud's

- Talk to me, baby

I need a fresh beer.

- Lock the door

- Go

- Let's see it

- Go, go!

- Let me see it

- Go

Joe, listen I know mooks

that have spent their whole lives

trying to figure out a way

to pop an armored car

In my book,

I look up to you

All right, so we're

just gonna walk in

we're gonna launder it,

and we're gonna walk out

That's right

You'll get it tonight,Joe

Tonight

And now, you gotta do me a favor

When we walk in there,

let me handle it...

'cause I've done it before

I've done all this sh*t before

so let me handle it

Don't bullshit me,

all right?

You ain't never even seen

$12 million before tonight

Why you come to me?

Huh? I mean, go to Monica

Go to your girl.

She works in a bank

You walk in that place with that kind

of money, they'll handcuff you to a desk

I came to you

Okay?

No one saw you

picking it up?

Right?

You and me

are the only ones that know about this

Piece of cake

So, when I swap the hundreds,

I'm gonna get back tens,

fifties, anything I want?

- I-It's gonna be okay with this guy?

- The guy's loaded

He collects every bet in South Phil

What else do you want,Joe?

- Is that his car?

- Yeah, one of them

He's a real connoisseur

- Yeah, he knows his sh*t, huh?

- Yeah

- Joey,Joey, gimme a minute

- In here or out there?

- You want me to walk around? Stay put

- No, no S-Stay put

So, are we gonna

go out tonight?

- Yeah, we'll go to Angelo's

- Mr Goldoni?

- I brought the guy that found

the Liberty Bell money.

- Where is he?

He's right over there

Yeah, maybe Nevada is

but we're not Nevada here.

- That's himJoseph

- Bring him in the office

- Five and a half

to five on the play-offs?

- Move to even

- He's close to clean

- Cover.

Yeah, this is Corky

The thing is what it is

- You keep four,.Joe.

- Slow down Slow down

You're gonna break

the sound barrier

Now, for every 400,000 I give you,

what are you prepared to give me?

For every four you give us,

we give you back three

Joe, he's

giving you $300,000

- I'm giving him four

Joe, it's not a matter of...

what you want us to give you,

it's how much you wanna give us

Now, I'll tell you what. For the 1.2,

I'll give you back a million.

That way

you save 100,000

Yeah, but if 12 costs two,

how come four costs one?

You keep four,.Joe.!

I take eight, give you back

seven out of the eight, same

as I would three out of four

It's the same thing

I- I-I don't get it

Really, I don't You get it?

He's taking one from four

He's not taking anything

from the eight

except his vig

of his first four

- It's pretty clear

- I don't get it. I'm sorry.

Is that how much I'm gonna give you

or how much you're gonna give me?

In terms of empathy, in the sense of

putting oneself inside

the skin of another person,

I admire that man

He was an inventor.

He had imagination.

He was a bit of a fatso,

but he was sexually active

And of...

all of the Founding Fathers

whose faces appear

on hard currency

he's the only one

cracking a smile; Ben Franklin

Why's Ben smilin'?

He was smart enough

not to be president

He lived in a tree house

for a period of time,.Joe.

What are you tal-

What are you talking about?

What has this got to do

with launderin' my money?

He was a playful man

He flew a kite

- What was on the end of Ben

Franklin's kite, historically?

- A piece of string

String

What was on the end of the string?

- Dino?

- A kite?

A key

A key A key!

Exactly

He caught lightning in a bottle!

The same way

you did,Joe

The same way you did.

That doesn't happen to too many

people in their lifetimes,

but it happened to you

Think about it.

What are you gonna do?

You can give us the money

and spend it while

you're young, enJoy it

Or you can dig a hole,

stick it in...

and hope that it's still there

when you dig it up.

It's up to you.

We do this tonight

It's the weekend It'll take maybe two,

three-three days at the most

Three days?

- Three days It's not like a week

- He said we could do it in one night

- That's a lot of money to count

- Joe, there's only six here

- Where's the rest?

- You said we could do this in one night

- You said you were bringing 12

- So what, that's my business

- So what? It's my business

- It's my business

- Shut up!

- Shut up

- You shut up

Okay, the man has a right

to be cautiousJoe

you give us the six tonight,

we'll give you back the five,

then we repeat the process

So I get

my first five before I get you

your second six?

That's the deal

That's it

- Okay,Joe Okay

- Done

Now, is there anything you want,Joe?

Anything you need? Tuna, anything?

No, no, I'm not hungry

Uh, I Just gotta get home

- Gotta get home?

- Yeah

Dino, give him your sh*t box

It's a Cadillac

Take care of my money.
