Owning Mahowny Page #5

- Or an associate's.

Just let us know, | bring him down,

he signs the money

over to you at the cage.

- All right, what if... | what if my associate's in Vegas?

Could he sign for it | at the cage in Vegas?

- Yeah, of course, Dan.

No problem.

- I'll be making a transfer

to your Sunshine Clearing | Corporation account

this afternoon.

- Okay.

- It's for my own use,

but I need to release 40,000 | to an associate in Vegas

by the name of Frank Perlin.

- Frank Perlin. | Okay, that'll be fine.

Uh, Mr. Perlin will have to sign | for the whole amount

and we'll credit the rest to you | here in sunny Atlantic City.

- Are there any other - ahem - | details we should cover?

- No, we'll take care | of everything, Mr. Mahowny.

Thank you for calling.

- Thank you.

- We have a problem | with the Selkirk account.

- What's the... | what's the problem?

- I don't know.

Briggs has called a meeting | with Dana and her father

at Selkirk International, | he wants you to be there.

- Why are they doing this, Alex?

I mean, no one except Dan | has seemed

even remotely interested | in this project.

We go slightly over our loan,

and they're calling | my goddamn father in!

- It is highly irregular.

We're barely half a million over.

- She's, uh...

how far over, exactly?

- Just under five million.

- Five million.

- Mm-hm.

- Already.

Incredible.

- So you want to give her | a tighter line of credit?

- Absolutely not.

- The Inspection | Department wants

to classify the loan as risky?

- No, we are here, gentlemen,

to try and force her father | to guarantee the loan.

If he does,

I want her to borrow every cent | we can lay our hands on.

It's a bit of a gamble, but...

let's not talk numbers.

A few million won't mean much

to a man like Selkirk.

I'm afraid we now consider | the projections to be rather...

optimistic.

- In what way?

- Mr. Briggs is referring | to the, uh... failure

of the original membership plan... | - Failure...

- Which was based on tax benefits, | which have now been withdrawn.

- But our new marketing strategy's | becoming very successful.

As you know.

- I appreciate the fact

that the bank has a big stake | in this project.

I'm surprised it hasn't voiced

it's concerns earlier.

But I am willing to provide | additional security

for Dana's project,

if it'll get the damn thing | up and running.

- Well done, Mahowny.

Get the paperwork ready before | he changes his mind, would you?

- Yeah?

Mahowny's coming down | with, uh...

1.4 million.

They just got the transfer.

Only, it's, uh...

it's made out to an associate, | name of, uh, Perlin?

He's meant to sign | the money over in Vegas.

- So?

- Uh, well, apparently, | there's, uh...

there's no Perlin in Vegas to sign.

- What?! | - They've been holding a room

for him, but he hasn't shown.

Mahowny's going apeshit.

- Who is this Perlin? | His business partner?

- I don't know. | I don't know anything

about Mahowny, | except if we don't get

his money to him tonight, | then we may not get it tomorrow.

- This is the guy from Toronto | who plays flat out

and you don't know his story? | - I don't want to know his story.

- Are you saying we could be | facing a serious judgement call?

- Only if we know what we don't.

- Where is this Perlin?

- Toronto.

- So fly him down; | he can sign off here.

- Mahowny's already run that | by him.

He says it's out of | the question tonight.

- If the transfer's in his name,

Perlin's got to sign off | at the cage.

- That's the bottom line?

- That's the bottom line.

I'm sorry, gentlemen.

- How about this?

What about we just take the cage

- not the actual cage, but the | personnel and the paperwork -

and fly it to Toronto?

- What are you trying to say?

- Perlin signs off at the cage, | at the airport,

in Toronto.

I told you, | I'm not flying anywhere

till my new | suede jacket's ready.

- You don't have to fly anywhere.

- You can collect tonight | at the airport.

- But it's not Monday.

- I know.

It...

Meet me at the executive | terminal at six.

- Executive terminal?

- By the rental-car place, okay?

At six?

- I'll think about it.

- The call came from | 500 Temperance Street.

- Mahowny?

- Yeah. They're in deep, | him and Perlin.

- How deep you figure?

- I don't know, but deep.

- What about this airport drop-off?

You heard anything | like that before?

- No, but ten bucks says | were onto a drug deal.

- No bet.

- Wimp.

- Hi.

- Hi?

- Hi.

- I didn't know if you were | on the phone or...

- Come in.

- Where'd you sleep last night?

- In the car.

- I didn't want to disturb you.

- But I thought we had | an agreement.

I thought it was... | it was going to be different.

That's what you said, right?

- You think we got problems, Blin?

Take a look at Mexico's | foreign debt.

- We do have a problem, Dan!

And you are not giving | yourself a chance!

- Blin, please.

- Or me!

- Keep your voice down.

- What would you do | if you were me, Dan?

Just tell me that.

You expect me to just...

to sit back and watch you throw | your career down the drain,

not to mention our relationship?

- All right, we'll talk | about this tonight.

- We both know I'm not | gonna see you tonight.

I got you this.

I mean, I figured | if you were gonna...

if you're gonna stay out | all night, you know,

you might as well keep warm.

- A winter coat.

- I won't see you tonight?

- Honey, this is great.

- Will I?

- Blin, listen...

- No. No, I'll listen when you | have something to say, Dan.

- Hey!

- New car?

- You like?

It's got a TV, in the back.

- It's got a TV?

- Yeah, in the back. | What the f*** we doing out here?

- I'm heading down to Atlantic City.

- So what do you want, a kiss | goodbye? Give me the money.

- It's in the terminal.

- You got it | in one of those lockers?

Hey, you got a new coat.

- Yeah, it's from my girlfriend.

- Yeah, it's nice. | Why do you walk around

looking like a douche bag | all the time for?

- Some girls go for that, Frank.

- Not where I come from. | Where you going?

- I forgot a bag.

Better to have one | to go through customs.

- Where you going? | - It's all right!

- How much for the bags?

- They're free to customers.

- Great. Can I have one?

- You're not a customer, sir.

- Okay. How much for the bags?

- Five bucks?

- Five bucks...

Man, that's nuts, | you give them away for free.

- Five bucks.

- What are these two clowns up to, | you figure?

- What are you trying | to do to me, Dan?

- Getting you your 40 grand.

- "I hereby release all funds | under the name Frank Perlin

to be paid to Dan Mahowny?"

- Hey, just... trust me.

- There's no amount here.

You want me to sign it?

- Yes, you sign it and then,

you get the 40 grand.

- All done?

- Okay, uh... just a second.

- The dame, she looks | like Tina Turner!

- Good night, ladies.

- Good night.

- Have a good trip.

- I never gamble myself, personally.

Well, I just don't see | the attraction in it.
