Of course you stick up for him. Of course.

Oh Walter.

Meaning whose side are you on?

I didn't realize I had to choose Walter.

Brandon.

You're a champion. A champion

goes down 86 times he's up on the 87th.

I'm not gonna let you stay down. No way.

Because this is not about you. Or you.

Or me. It's about your gift.

Your gift transcends all this sh*t.

Your gift is cosmic. It's metaphysic.

It's eternal. It is God!

Besides we have a contract.

- Bullshit.

- Bullshit? Bullshit bullshit.

- Walter you can't own someone.

- Who owns him?

I created the greatest sports tout

this country's seen.

I hooked him up with every major client.

I built a f***ing

television show around him.

I took out full-page ads.

I introduced him

to the major clients of the world.

I did that.

I hooked you up with everybody.

Think you're gonna walk out the door

take that with you

leave me here

holding the f***ing sack? Bullshit!

I don't know why I'm talking to you.

What has this got to do with you?

This is between me and him.

What are you doing in this office?

What are you doing here? Get outta here!

Don't talk to her like that Walter.

- It's between me and you.

- It is between you and me.

Are you telling me how to talk to my wife?

You shut your f***ing toilet.

Leave. Leave please Brandon. Go. Go.

Please. Go. Leave.

Listen to me you son of a b*tch.

Don't you ever talk to me like that ever.

I'm sorry.

Hey Brandon! Hoo!

It's Walter. Don't get excited.

All is forgiven.

Hey.

- What time is it?

- It's 6am.

Live from the WDIX studios

high above Manhattan,

here's your host, Walter Abrams.

Hello everybody

and welcome to the big weekend.

Never before in the history of this industry

has an offer been made

like the one I'm about to present

to you now.

I am so confident

in John Anthony's picks for this Sunday

I'm so sure of the skills

he's brought to bear

and so anxious for you

to get on the phone

and dial the toll-free number

on your screen

that for the first time

in sports-service history

I am going to guarantee our picks

this weekend.

- What's that mean?

- What does that mean? It means this.

You tell us how much you're betting

with your bookie

You heard me right. That's risk-free.

Now let's go to the oracle

God's gift John Anthony.

Wow. That's all I can say.

The phones are gonna be flooded Walter

and they should be.

Hey John why don't you run down

the pitfalls facing the average bettor?

I mean when you think about it a game

this huge all the added dynamics...

I mean uh without your expertise

I guess the average bettor might as well

just what flip a coin.

Walter? No no no no

no no no no no no no.

Hang on. You can't guarantee that they're gonna win.

That's insane. Come on.

I say if you can flip a coin to make a pick

I can guarantee the game.

- What if we lose?

- Ah f*** it. I'm ruined anyway.

Look man. Cover your ass all right.

At least cap the thing out right?

- Oh Brandon can't you feel it?

- What?

- Can't you just feel it?

- I have no idea what you're talking about.

Oh I think you do. I think you do.

You know the best part of the best drug

in the world ain't the high.

It's the moment just before you take it.

The dice are dancing on the table.

Between now and the time they stop

that's the greatest high in the world.

Made up your mind yet?

It's the last minute! I'm here to make you money!

New York's the one-and-a-half point

favorite the over and under is 36.

I want you to bet New York in the over.

- Come on guy it's a f***ing lock.

- It's New York in the over.

You can parlay it tease it

do whatever you want 'cause it's guaranteed.

- Our reputation is the guarantee.

- Tammy!

I'm coming.

- Can we please get some air in here?

- You gotta make up your mind.

OK that's it. Kill the phones. Come on.
