Owning Mahowny

- You know, some folks believe | everyone has a public life,

a private life | and a secret life.

What do you think about that?

- See, the thing is, I guess...

my secret life | is a bit less secret

than anyone else's right now.

- Hey, Mahowny,

you got a promotion, eh? | - Yup.

- So, when are you gonna | junk that heap?

- Why? It runs.

- Good morning.

- Hey, wild man.

You been hanging out | where the action is?

- I'm always where the action is.

- We still hanging | out this weekend?

- You bet. We're moving the stuff | into the apartment, right?

- We should celebrate | right after.

How about dinner | at Vivante's?

- Vivante's?

Are you sure we can get outta | there for under 30 bucks?

- No? | - No.

- You just got a raise.

- Hey, let's not get crazy.

All right? | Talk to you at lunch.

Good morning.

- Good morning. | - Miss Selkirk.

- Congratulations.

- Mr. Mahowny has just become

the branch's youngest | assistant manager.

- I see.

- He's been handling

Miss Selkirk's accounts and | trading interests for some time.

- Well,

perhaps we could... | get started, then.

- Are you telling me that | the bank would be happy

to lend the money to my father,

but has reservations | about lending it to me?

- We'd just be happier if Selkirk | International was involved

as security. | - I thought security was...

- The building itself, with | Miss Selkirk's bond holdings

making up the balance.

- In addition to which you have | my client's personal guarantee.

- Even so, with such | a large line of credit...

- Sir.

- I'm sorry you had to | go through that, Miss Selkirk.

- What was on that sheet?

- I thought he should know | how much we're making off you.

- Dan!

- You actually make banking fun.

- It's all about procedure.

Just have to know | your way around it.

- Well, I am very grateful.

One of these days, | I'm gonna take you out

and get you a decent suit. | Bye-bye.

- Bye.

- See ya. | - Bye.

- Are you sure he can handle | a loan of this size at his age?

- Oh absolutely.

He has an impeccable record

and excellent judgement.

- What are you doing here?

- We got a little concerned | when you didn't show.

We thought maybe you were sick | or something...

- This is not the race track. | - How much you got for us?

- I told you, I need a day or two.

- That was on Monday, Dan, | this is Friday.

- Look, guys, I'm having | a bad run, so what?

Just give me 5,000 more...

- Five thousand more?! | - Yes.

- Look after yourself or I'm | gonna have to do it for you.

- What are you saying?

- That we're gonna have to come up | with a payment plan

where you give me a certain | amount of money on a certain day

and until you're paid up, | you do not play!

- You can't do that.

- I can do it, I'm doing it now.

- I thought we had | a relationship here.

- We have a relationship.

And that is why | I'm shutting you down.

- For a few grand? | - It's 10,300.

- So what am I supposed to do?

- Go to the racetrack and watch?

- Do I make you do business | with me?

- Okay. Okay.

Give me an hour.

Yeah, give me an hour.

I'll see ya in the garage | in an hour.

- Couple of bozos | looking for a loan.

And Martin...

I don't see anyone | without an appointment.

Understand?

- Yeah.

- What the f*** is this?

- A bank draft.

- This is made out to him.

- Hey, you want it | made out to you?

- No, but, uh...

- What do I do with this?

- You take it to your branch. | - My what?

- It is where I come from. | - That is not normal.

- I don't like my name on it. | - You will when you cash it.

What are tonight's lines?

- No, no, no. | I'm not gonna let you bet.

- What? | - You're not betting.

- I just paid off.

- I know, but I can't | do business like this.

- Take it to your branch.

- Yeah right, f***in' guy.

- Come on, Dan. | Bank draft...

- Teri, that bridge loan we did | a draft on for Mr. Quinson?

- Uh-huh.

- We're gonna do another 15 | for a cash pickup.

- Okay.

- Thanks, Teri.

- You want this draft cashed?

- Yeah, it's already signed. | Mr. Quinson's waiting in my office.

- Okay.

- Thank you. | Hi.

Let's do it.

Let's do it.

- Hi, folks, we'll be landing | in Philadelphia very shortly.

And you know what that means, | don't you?

Here comes the weekend!

- Just wait here a moment, please.

Just for a moment, please. | Thank you.

- Mr. N. An honour, as always.

An honour and a pleasure.

- Fifteen thousand dollars.

- Thank you. | - You're welcome.

- Here you go, Shooter.

Here we go.

Yo! Eleven! For 900.

Nine hundred.

Here we go.

- No, thank you.

- Blackjack 17.

He's making some pretty big | bets on impulse.

No consistent pattern.

- My kind of guy.

Let's take a closer look.

Is that a Rolex?

They just drive them to me.

- That's that, sir?

- What?

- Six a.m. We gotta end it.

- You're kidding.

- We'll be rolling again at ten.

Sorry.

I got kind of tied up, you know.

Guess you're gonna be mad at me.

- Well, where are you?

- Just out messing around.

I, uh...

I'm gonna make it up to ya, | Blin.

- You better.

- I promise.

- You have a good weekend, okay? | You know you work too hard.

- Yeah, yeah, that's all I...

need, Blin, is one good weekend.

- Eleven! Frontline winner!

- Oh hi!

- Hi.

- You still here?

That was a really great run | we had going there.

- Oh yeah. Yeah.

- Say... um.

Stake me 200, and I'll share | my winnings with you.

What do you say?

- No, thank you.

- Okay, uh... 100.

A hundred!

- Oh...

I can't believe | this place is ours.

- Oh, it's not.

- It could be.

We've got an option to buy.

You didn't get a lot of sleep | this weekend, eh?

- Mmm...

- I'll bet you were out | at the track.

Hm?

Did you tell Doug | about coming over?

- Mm-hm.

- Oh, God! | I hope Maggie likes him.

Wouldn't it be great | if they started dating?

We could do things together, | the four of us...

- Uh-huh.

- Go out, have fun, hm?

Did you win anything?

- Sort of.

- How much?

- I came home with 500.

- Wow.

Cool.

Ending with | a bench-clearing brawl,

and the puck crossing | the goal line.

The standings:
Minnesota | leads Winnipeg by six points,

the Leafs by 15.

Yeah, I want 30 | on North Carolina.

- Thirty? Hey, Dan, | you're scaring me.

- Take it or leave it.

- What, are you trying | to clean me out?

- I really need this one, Frank.

- You got 30 grand?

- You're gonna take | my action or not?

- I wanna take it, | but I'm gonna need

a little something | from you every Monday.

And I don't mean Tuesday, | I don't mean Wednesday.

I mean Monday.

- Fine, 30 on North Carolina.

- Well, she's a nice girl.

Belinda's known her as long | as I've known you.

- Is she like Belinda?

- Uh, no. But, hey, | if you don't like her,

you know, | we'll just watch the game.

- Why, you got money on it?

- North Carolina.

One-and-a-half-point pick.

- Right. So, uh, | how's that work again?

- Thing is, I win if North Carolina

wins by two points | or more.

- Wow, Dan, you really | go for it, eh?
