There's a lot of moneyin Vegas. Investment money.

I'm gonna look for some venturecapital guys might wanna back me.

Still tryin' to raise moneyfor that dumb invention?

I have six patentsand six patents pending,

one of which, may I remind you, made meenough dough to buy my apartment house.

And we appreciate you takin' usto Vegas. Thank you, baby.

No problem. Vegas is the fastestgrowing city in America, and--

You know I gotpeople skills, so--

Oh, yeah, you got such good peopleskills, how come you can't keep a man?

Honey, it's the menthat can't keep me.

Uh, I am keeping you,sweetheart.

We'll see.

You know, I think this trip isgonna be a good chance for me...

to try out my new systemon the roulette wheel.

That's not a good idea,Vince, the roulette wheel.

This is a good idea. You got--You got black, you got red.

It's about a fifty-fifty shot.

And then if you--

Where-- Where we goin' ?

The geology's much prettier out here.You can see the striations...

- in the Calico Mountains.- F*** the striations !

- We gotta get to Vegas !- What is-- What is that idea you got...

- about the roulette wheel,what is that?- Oh, okay, okay.

You got red. You got black.Okay, there's a fifty-fifty chance.

You miss a bet,you double up.

It's foolproof.

Key word:
fool.

Grace, can you tell me again,why-- why are we in this road?

- Striations.- Striations.

Striations.Jesus Christ.

Uh... dear Lord,I said your name in vain.

I-- I-I f***ed--I messed up.

I-- Uh, I won'tdo it again. Amen.

Very cool.

They're in...a f***ing car ?

Apparently, yes.

Vince once had 14 car wrecksin 14 months.

Well,Johnny saidthey're with Grace, in her car.

Uh, Vince don't even havea license no more.

Grace ! Grace. That wouldn't beGrace Pasic, would it?

- Yeah.- She's still with Vince?That's amazing.

- No, actually she's with Cesar now.- I'll be a son of a b*tch !

That chick always had a thingfor middleweights, huh?

Hey, Bobby, Sal.Go draw up the usual contracts.

Cesar, we need to talk.

Baby, I am not going anywhere.Let's talk.

- I think it's over.- Eh-- Wh-What?

I think it's overbetween us.

Wh-- Hey, baby,what do you mean?

Well, let's face it.It was a f ing.

- Nothing more.- No, no. I-It wasn't a f ing to me.

It was a f ing that could've developedinto something, but didn't.

Sh*t.W-We are just getting started.

No. We're justwrapping it up.

Don't I have anythingto say in this?

No.

Baby-- Baby, I love you.Come on. You are the only one.

You are the one...a-a-and only.

Don't grovel.No groveling.

- Is this final ?- Well, nothing's ever final.

I said I think it's over.I didn't say I feel it's over,

- which would have been a muchmore serious problem for you.- Much more serious.

But when the thoughtsand feelings start swirling around,you gotta pay attention.

You know?Besides,you--

You don't love me.

But I-- I'm getting there. You know,step by step, little by little.

Honey. It's too late.

- Cesar ?-Oh, why

Pull over.

Is it something I said?

Oh, no, no.That has nothing to do with you.

He always criesthe day of a fight.

Oh ! Huh.

He's fine.

So what happened to himin the Garden?

Well, that's up for himto tell ya.

But, uh, I don't thinkhe wants to talk about it.

I don't knowif I can fight him.

You know, I'm afraid I'm gonna freeze upand pull my punches. You know?

We're tight. It's like--

Uh, the worst thing you wannafeel in the ring is compassion.

Vince, all you needis the bell.

Aah, it feelsunnatural.

Let's go.

Come on.

We've drawn up new contractson Boudreau and Dominguez.

Wanna check them out?

Uh, you sure you want to guaranteea middleweight title shotto one of these bums?

I promised 'em,if that means anything.

Well, we figured ! So, uh,we drew up two sets of papers.

One of'em uses languagewe can get out of if we wanna.

The other one also has languagewe can get out of if we want,but, uh, it's less obvious.

We figure they'll reject oneand accept the other.

- They're happy. We're happy.- Fine.

Hank, get our name fighters...

some legal.

Dante, is your licensestill good?

- Uh, it was recently reinstated.- Good.

You are now the attorney forVince Boudreau and Cesar Dominguez.

Well, uh, what's my fee?

We don't report you to thestate bar for jury tampering,

extortion, paying offstate senators,

sexual harassment,land fraud--

- Fair enough, fair enough.- That's a good deal.

I'll be more than happy to representthese two fine young men.

So when did thisJesus thing start?

Aw, you know,I was raised religious.

Sunday school, Bible study,guilt, the whole bit.

It didn't take long to realize that, uh,church was misrepresentin'Jesus,

'cause Jesus was all aboutnot judging...

and they were judgingeverybody.

So as soon as I figured outthat the church was a bunchof hypocrites, I, uh--

I started focusingon having fun.

So, you know,I partied, had--

had a couple girls,had a couple wrecks.

- A couple?- Well, a couple dozen.

I was wild.This was around the time I met you.

Yeah.

We had a good run of it,didn't we?

We were pretty crazy.

Yeah. Uh, well,right after you left me,

I, uh, ran into a treegoing 75.

I was so wasted I don't remembera thing till I was layin' on my back...

in a poolof blood and gasoline...

with the carrestin' on my head.

And I figured it's my time.But then I look up, and who do I see?

Jesus. And He's unmistakable.Right?

And He's-- He's lookin' downon me, and He's smilin'...

like everything's okay.

And then He lifted the caroff my head.

- Yeah.- Wow.

It was. You know,I see Him from time to time.

What's He look like?

Uh, just like in the pictures.Same deal.

Well, if you see Him sometime,would you point Him out to me?

Oh, yeah. Sure.Huh.

You believe in that, don't you?The whole battle between good and evil.

Sometimes.

SometimesI'm not in the mood.

Sometimes I'm in the moodfor a warm bath, fresh robe.

Glass of wine.To be left alone.

- I love church music.- Church music.

It's too good for the church.Jesus wastoo good for the church,you ask me.

You know, He shook things up.He was, uh--

He was a anarchist, you know?And He, uh--

You know He threw the moneylenders outta the temple.

First thing He's gonna do whenHe comes back is torch the Vatican.

Vince ! Come on.
