Owning Mahowny Page #2

You know, we should get some | serious play in some time.

- Like what?

- Well, we've never been down | to Atlantic City.

- Right. We should do | that some time.

- It's Clubs, Dan.

North Carolina | hanging on...

This game is over, folks!

No, it's not! Plankton has | committed a foul at the buzzer!

Oh boy, what a game!

Will you look at | the North Carolina bench?!

Have North Carolina won | by one, two,

or three points?

- Dan, what's your problem? | North Carolina have won anyways.

- Give me one.

Just one.

- Ah, sh*t. This is not good.

- Yes!

- Give me one.

Just one.

North Carolina have won | this game by just one point.

- Damn.

And that's all it takes.

Unfortunately, a solid team,

too many injuries | so far this season.

- Who's for coffee?

- Bill Gooden wants to see you.

Sounded kind of urgent.

- 'Morning.

- 'Morning.

- Alex Reismer called | about the Selkirk loan?

- Oh, right.

- He's coming down to sign out | the operating funds.

- I'll get the paperwork ready.

What's the number?

- They need 200,000. Cash.

- Hey, Dan! Your cash is here; | the Selkirk account, 300,000.

Uh, is it gonna be collected | today or not?

- Uh, it'll be here in an hour.

- Pardon?

- An hour?

- Oh, I have to wait an hour?

- What, you got a hot date?

- Something like that.

- Want me to sign for it?

- Would you mind?

- My pleasure. | - Oh, great!

- Thanks.

- How are you?

- Anything to declare?

- No, sir.

- $100,000.

- Thank you very much.

- Excuse me, sir, there's been | a mistake in the accommodations.

My apologies, Mr...?

- Uh, Doug.

- Mr. Mahowny.

Victor Foss.

I just want you to know | that my casino is your casino.

I set aside a table | at La Gioconde

so you can sample | our excellent European cuisine.

- Thank you.

- Perhaps you'd prefer | the Hyakida Steakhouse?

- Uh, barbecued ribs | would be good,

with no sauce | and a Coke.

- Mr. Mahowny would like | barbecued ribs,

no sauce and a Coke.

- Thank you.

- Mr. Mahowny, your new room key.

- Hey, Dan. Danny, | listen man,

forget the tables; | you won't want

to keep playing when | you see our room!

- Yeah, it's courtesy | of the casino.

- Really?

- Take these and hold | onto them for me.

Don't give 'em back | no matter what I say.

Understand?

- Jesus! That's gotta | be at least...

- Forty grand.

- Forty grand!

- Yes... It's a new | system I'm working.

You gonna take 'em or not?

- Yeah.

- Come back in an hour or two and | I'll have some more for you.

Okay?

- Yeah, sure.

- All right, I'll see you later.

- Is that ribs, no sauce?

- Mm-hm.

- He's still playing.

- I don't want him interrupted, | take them back.

And tell them to make some more.

I want 'em on permanent standby, | is that understood?

- Doug, give me my money.

- What?

- Give me my money.

- Dan, you told me not to, remember? | - I've changed my mind.

- You brought a curse to | that table, you know that?

Give me my money | and stay away from me.

- Come on, man, | I can't let you do this.

We're talking 40 grand!

- Forty grand of my money.

- You gotta calm down, walk outta | here now and think this through.

- For the last time,

give me my money

and stay away from me.

- Okay. Fine. Fine.

Come on, Dan.

- What?

- What are you doing?! | - What?!

- You lost your way, or something?

- Yeah. Yup, yup.

Yup.

- Hey, hey, take it easy, man.

Uh, you want a rib?

We got plenty,

but, uh, no sauce.

- I'm putting you on the floor.

- You're kiddin'!

- I wish I was.

Bernie, isn't it?

- Um, yes sir.

- That guy you found | in the stairwell,

Mr. Ribs,

he likes you.

And you're gonna stick to him.

- Uh, sir, I... | I didn't do nothing.

- Well, then, don't do | nothing again.

Now get out

of my office before | I change my mind!

- Yes sir! | And thank you very much, sir.

I won't let you down. | I won't let you down. Thank you.

- Hey.

- Hey.

You okay?

- Where's the washroom?

- Uh, there, there and there.

- Okay.

- So where's Danny boy?

- He's busy.

- What, he doesn't eat lunch?

- Work always comes | first with Dan.

Except when he's | at the track.

He doesn't go that often.

- Belinda, you told | me yourself!

You've got no idea | how hard he works.

Anyone who works | as hard as he does

has a right to do what he wants | with his disposable income.

- You got that bank draft | for me, Teri?

- Bank draft?

- From the Selkirk loan account. | - Selkirk...

Um, there is so much activity

on that account, I can't keep up. | - I know the feeling.

- Oh, yeah, here we are.

I'm acting for investors | looking for short-term security.

- You've come to the right place.

- I was thinking of bearer bonds?

- That's not a bad idea. | Bonds are secure.

Great way of moving money | around fast.

Okay, so would you like me

to open up an account | for you right now?

- Yeah, uh, 200,000 in the name | of Roger Oskaner.

- Okay.

Hey,

you see those Bluejays | on Monday night?

- Seven to five? | - Those guys are hot.

- Oh boy, here comes trouble. | - Big trouble.

- Let me guess, Selkirk? | - Nope, Oskaner.

- Oh, Oskaner.

- He wants to sell bonds | at market rate.

- Mahowny.

- Banker!

- Yeah, uh... where... | where have you been?

I called four times already.

- So you wanna hear the lines?

- Hold on.

- Hey, banker, you there? | What the f***?!

- Uh... I can't do this now.

- You're not playing today?

- Give me all the home teams | in the National,

and all the away teams | in the American.

- You're kidding?

- Uh, every game | for the $1,000 max.

- You're the man.

- The Selkirk account seems to be | moving at incredible speed.

Perhaps we should find out | what their schedule is,

and advise regional office.

- Uh, you know,

a higher line of credit

would be a lot simpler.

- Okay, good idea.

Keep her sweet, Dan.

- Right.

- You've opened a loan account | for Pembro Trading?

- Finally, yes.

- I thought they'd run into | partnership problems.

- I guess things are rolling.

Uh, the documentation was all in | place; you approved it yourself.

- Okay.

And... Jake Arnold.

- Jake Arnold, same thing.

- How long ago did we | authorize credit?

- Two years.

- And he's never borrowed | against it until now?

- No, but he could have.

- It's strange; you know, I think | he set the whole thing up

just so he could | tell his friends

he had a million-dollar | credit line.

- Maybe business got bad.

Maybe he won't be handing out | jars of peanuts this Christmas.

- He really does that? | - Sure.

- Even his, uh... desk | is peanut-shaped.

- You're kidding?

- No.

- What a guy.

- Yeah, what a nut.

- Good work, Dan.

- Thank you, Bill.

- Dan, there's a problem: | Roger Oskaner.

- What's the problem?

- An interest payment overdue.

- No problem, | he's selling bonds today.

He stopped by to sign the order | and pick up his cash.

- He did? I missed him again?

Jeez. I'm gonna have | to start bagging lunch,

see if I can lay eyes | on this guy.

He's a goddamn phantom.

Oskaner The Phantom.
