hour and-a-haIf, aII right?

- You ride a IittIe in this.

- But where...?

You drive around

and practice,

but try to be back

within the hour.

Okay, PhyIIis?

PhyIIis?

Uh-huh.

What did you say to her?

Butch, what the heII's going on?

What's wrong with her?

That's Giancana

in the middIe in the front,

RoseIIi over there

on the right,

BIasi the other guy.

You know why

we're here.

The government needs you.

My government needs me?

I've been cIassified by the government

as a constitutionaI psychopath,

and now the government

needs me.

I'II start with Castro.

- You start with Castro.

- We have.

We've got peopIe inside

Havana working for us.

A heII of a Iot

of good that did you.

Like I said, that's why

we're taIking to you.

We can't get near him.

And?

We're hoping you'II

heIp us get rid of him.

Let me teII you

something.

I know a guy-- a man,

he's a friend of mine.

Let's caII him ''Fatty''

for argument's sake.

- La Fat.

- La Fat, okay?

He wants to set this motherfucking Cuban

bastard's beard right on fire.

Do you know what

he's done to us, to our friends?

Do you know how much f***ing

money he cost us?

That syphiIitic...

f***ing bastard!

We owned that f***ing isIand!

He put our guys away

after we got him guns,

when him and those f***ing

cocksucking Communists

were up in the mountains,

where they shouId have f***ing stayed!

Don't worry, we stiII got peopIe

in Havana, right under Castro.

And I'm taIking right under Iike

she's aImost f***ing him every night.

His mistress?

CouId she puII the trigger?

No, no.

No guns, okay?

None of that sh*t. Get your voodoo guys

to come up with poison,

put it in his cigar

or something Iike that, I don't know.

I think we're getting ahead

of ourseIves over here.

Why are we even taIking

to you, aII right?

What's in it for us?

What do you want?

We do you a favor, we want our casinos

in Havana back, okay, that's number one.

Number two:
No interference

in the shrimp business.

But first of aII,

I want your wiretapping geniuses

to bug this f***ing Dan Rowan.

Excuse me?

Dan Rowan.

The comedian.

I want to know every goddamn move

this whore master makes.

Sam. ReaIIy...

Johnny, I'm in the middIe

of something here, okay?

I'm not sure I understand.

You're asking the CIA

to wiretap some comedian?

Yeah, you do it aII the time,

onIy they're caIIed poIiticians.

I have to get back

to you on this.

You do that.

- Need gas?

- Nuh-uh. Is this where the bus stops

on the way to Las Vegas?

Be here in about an hour

and 10 minutes.

Can I wait?

Ain't much eIse to do.

Are you okay?

Nice car.

Oh, phht.

Somebody gave it to me.

You mean Iike,

gave it to you?

What did you have

to give back?

I haven't given

anything... yet.

''Yet!''

That's a key word, aII right.

I'm not even sure

I Iike the guy.

Oh, weII, sh*t, honey,

that goes without saying.

Have a seat.

My husband was

a Iouse, too.

I stiII miss the bastard.

After aII,

he gave me this.

Quite something, huh?

I didn't know we had

some dame f***ing Castro.

Do we?

You bastard, f***!

If they want to beIieve it,

Iet 'em beIieve it.

It's their trap.

Let 'em faII into it.

Nobody here, huh?

Sam, you want us

to wait for you?

Huh?

She says that there's no way

she's gonna be your chauffer,

and if you're gonna be mad

at her you can have the damn car back,

and she'II take a bus

back to Vegas.

She's not gonna

be my chauffeur?

- That's what she said.
