Owning Mahowny Page #4

- He makes 22,000 a year Canadian.

- So he's some trust-fund punk?

- No.

- Where the hell does he get | all the money?

- I don't know.

The usual?

- Drugs?!

No way.

You have to see this guy.

- Well, I got a little theory going.

It's kind of what you might call | a long shot, but I think that...

- Yeah?

- Excuse me, sir, but I thought | you might like to know...

that Mr. Mahowny has left Vegas.

- What?

Already?

- He's transferred 250,000 | to our cage...

He's taken the rest back | with him

to Toronto. | - He won?

- Yes. You could definitely

call this a win.

- So... he's gonna come back.

And he's loaded.

- What's this man doing | in my office?

Who is this man? Pay him,

and get him outta here.

And find that kid I fired.

- Bernie?

- Yeah.

- Tell him he's got his job back.

- Dan?

- Oh, I'm really sorry.

- For what, exactly?

- I...

I never meant to leave | you alone. I...

I tried to find you | but you'd left and I...

And I guess I just | missed you. I...

- It's okay, I understand.

- You do?

- You gotta do what you gotta do.

I know you can't

help yourself, Dan. | You got a gambling problem

and we are gonna deal | with this together.

- No, Blin, you | don't understand.

- No, I've been reading up | about this,

and the first thing | you gotta do

is admit it to yourself.

- Blin, you got things wrong.

- Just say it, Dan. | If you just say it!

- I don't have a gambling problem.

- Do you think I'm an idiot?!

- I have a...

a financial problem.

- You owe money?

- Yes.

- To the men at the airport?

- Yes. And I know what I'm doing.

All right? You gotta trust me. | Please.

- I have $2,000 | in my savings account.

If I cash in my retirement plan,

it's another 3,000. | Will that help?

Will that make us | into a normal couple?

How much do you owe, | for chrissakes?

Twenty thousand?

- Where did you get that number?

- I made it up!

- Look, Blin, I...

I know I've not been here | for you lately,

but things are different now.

I...

I had a great run last night, | and that guy at the airport,

I can pay him back in full.

- And then what?

- Things will be different.

- Did we go to Vegas so you could | clear a gambling debt?

'Cause you know why | I thought we went there?

I mean, when I saw the room | and everything...

I mean, what was I supposed | to think?

Why do people go to Vegas?

I thought we were | gonna get married!

I mean, that's what normal | people do in Vegas.

It's not how | I'd have planned it,

but if you'd asked, | I'd have said... yes.

- I'm sorry.

I'm...

sorry.

Do you want me to leave?

- How ya doin', banker?

So you have a good time | In Vegas?

- Not bad. | - Yeah? You don't look good.

- Maybe the little lady | didn't let him sleep.

- Something like that.

- Thank you.

- Is it still snowing out there?

- Yeah.

- What kind of snow?

- I don't know. Big snow?

- Big?

I'm gonna take a hint from you. | I'm going to Vegas.

- You going to Vegas? When?

- When's my suede jacket ready?

- Tuesday. | - Wednesday.

- Will you place some bets for me?

- Yeah. | - All right, I'll call you Tuesday.

- Yeah.

- All right.

- Good morning, Dan.

- Good morning.

- 'Morning.

Dan Mahowny.

- These audits can be a pain; we | will try staying out of the way.

- Uh, I was in audits myself.

- So you know the drill?

- Yeah. How long do | you think it'll take?

- Ten days. Maybe eight.

- So, ten days of this?

- Maybe eight.

- It's late this year, isn't it?

- The blizzard?

- No, the audit.

Everyone's so jumpy.

- Well, it has to be done, Blin.

- There's something missing here.

The Oskaner file.

I only have a statement | and one memo.

- Dan tends to handle | that one himself.

- Hmm.

- No manager's approval,

no details of security.

This... client doesn't even | seem to have an address.

- Ah, the phantom.

- Excuse me?

- I can't help you.

You're gonna have to ask Dan | about Oskaner.

- There's one audit I heard about, | out west.

The bank's only security system | was an alarm that rang

in the hotel next door. | - Did they test it?

- Uh, of course.

- What happened?

- The waiter showed up | with a tray of beer.

Ah, well.

- About the uh, Oskaner account.

- What do you need to know?

- There's no way I can pass this.

- For what reason?

- For a start, he's way over

his credit limit. | No authorization...

- It was paid off. | - It was?

In full. He sold bonds today.

- Well, fine.

That's that one done.

I'm really trying to motor, | here, you know?

We're two branches behind.

- Whatever I can do to help.

- No pressure, Dan.

We are looking for a strike.

Straight down the middle.

Oh, Dan! Oh, Dan! Oh, Dan, no!

- Not so bad!

- Okay, folks, uh...

I gotta go.

- No! We were gonna | treat you both

at Swiss Chalet!

- Swiss Chalet? Oh, I love | Swiss Chalet. I'm sorry.

- Oh, it's okay.

- All right.

Can I count on you, sir, | to make sure the little lady

gets home safe?

- I think we can manage that.

You go off and do | what you have to do.

- Thank you, sir. | See you at home.

- Don't you even want | to know the scores?

- Sir, check your pockets?

- Wow.

- Sir, step over here, please.

Arms up to the side.

Okay, go ahead.

- We're landing in Philadelphia | very shortly.

Might have left the snow | in Toronto,

but you don't wanna know

what the weather's like | down there right now.

- Hey, man. You looking | for a ride?

- I can take care of you.

- No, thank you.

- Come on, man. You wait | all night for a cab?

I'm ready to roll, man.

- Why are we on the highway?

- I need to make a stop. | - No stops!

- It's kind of an emergency.

- I... I don't care if it's | an emergency, no stops!

- Open the door.

Hey, come on! Come on!

What are you doing, man? | What are doing? Hey!

Hey! Gimme my car back, man!

- Let me take care | of your travel.

Starting tonight.

- Too many people around | here know I carry cash.

I don't like it.

I don't like people | knowing my business.

I don't like it.

- We can solve this | problem very easily.

All you have to do is take | the funds to your bank,

and they'll wire it | through to our bank

into an American account.

- There'd be personal | I.D. Requirements,

tax stuff. No.

- I'll look into alternatives.

- Excuse me, Mr. Foss.

- Oh boy. Lock up the money.

- Hey, where's he going?

- Hey, you're not playing tonight, | Mr. M?

- Sure, I'm gonna play, Bernie.

I, uh, just needed some air.

- Yeah.

- I've never been out | here before, so...

- Well, uh, you know, that's | on account of the windows.

See, the glass is tinted, | so it always looks dull outside.

- Hmm.

- You know, some dude told me | they pump in oxygen.

Keep you guys high.

- Huh. That makes sense.

- Yeah.

- Right?

- He's on the boardwalk.

- It so happens

that Vegas maintains | an account in Canada.

Name of Sunshine | Clearing Corporation.

- Sunshine Clearing Corporation?

- Has a nice ring to it, | don't you think?

- All right, the deposit | has to be in my name.
