Two For The Money Page #8

- Atlantic Avenue.

- Who do you like Monday night?

- Oh I don't know.

- Pick one.

- Well that's your job.

I'll do your job tomorrow.

Today you do mine. Who do you like?

- What are you talking about?

- Mitchie.

Seattle v New Orleans.

Stop stalling. Who do you like?

I don't know. I mean

I guess I like Seattle plus the two points.

- Over or under?

- No you can't... Don't... You can't do that.

No I can do this.

Over or under? It's 44 points. Come on.

Um...

Over.

Seattle in the over. Nice.

I won't hand that in.

A million dollars are riding on that game.

Oh there's a whole lot more than that.

We all know I can pick. Today I'm picking you.

The outcome will be the same.

- OK. And... what if I'm wrong?

- There's no "if. "

Are we running to the field goal?

We don't need a field goal.

We need a touchdown.

Oh that's OK. That's OK.

They score we win. Come on come on.

They score we win. They score we win.

They score we win. They score we win.

They score we win.

...first down on the sixth.

Touchdown!

Yes! We won! We won!

A hundred f***ing percent!

A hundred f***ing percent!

A hundred f***ing percent! A hundred...

It was like he mesmerized me a little bit.

Like Spock or something I visualized it.

Seattle and the over and he wrote it down.

- He said picking me was like him doing it.

- How long have you been here?

It's not unusual to go out at any time

Congratulations Brandon

or should I say John?

Either way it's amazing.

I am very impressed.

Are you kidding me? Letting salesmen

make your picks? That's balls.

You better get over there and

collect some of that cash right now.

The way you're picking

you'll need some for a rainy day.

Enjoy it while it lasts.

Gambling gods are a fickle bunch.

So easily offended.

There might be businesses you can make

over two million dollars in a weekend...

- Thanks for looking after me.

- All right.

...but will somebody tell me

somebody please tell me

where else are you gonna

have this much f***ing fun?

You the man! You the man big Papa!

I love you forever.

Let me ask you something.

How much of that do-re-mi be for moi?

Well how about a one

with five zeros behind it.

- A hundred thousand?

- Yeah.

On two mill?

- You be working out of my shop.

- Yes sir I am.

- Look around you.

- This is your place Walter's shop.

I understand that.

I'm just saying feed the horse baby.

- Maybe 10%.

- 10%?

That what you're thinking?

That's a beautiful thought. Forget it.

Walter we were starting to roll here.

And we got Novian. We got the 250 grand...

I wanna tell you something now OK?

I'm gonna say it only once.

If you want something more from me

than a gesundheit after a sneeze

you have to do more than this sh*t.

You understand?

You're gonna have to earn it.

Once you earn it

you'll have to fight me for it.

You'll have to challenge me.

You'll have to rip it out of my f***ing talons.

That's how you get ahead with me.

Now John Anthony would know that see?

As a matter of fact

next time you come to me with this sh*t

you come as John Anthony.

I ain't talking money with you.

Hey big winner huh?

How you feeling?

Winning. Winning.

Dance with me.

Oh!

- You know I gotta dance with you more.

- You do.

- Listen. I'm thinking of buying a plane.

- Oh yeah.

Yeah. You know...

Don't laugh. A big one.

One of them G... G somethings.

I saw this house in the Bahamas for sale.

I mean talk about an investment.

In case anything should happen to me

I mean you and Julia...

Shh! I don't wanna hear that Walter.

Stop that.

Why don't we go down and check it out?

Just you and me barefoot in the sand.

Just tell me you're not... gambling Walter.

Oh.

That sh*t's over.

It's never over.

You know that Walter. It's never over.

How about a truth serum... in the veins?

Baby we just made two million dollars.

I wanna just celebrate with my wife.

I want to enjoy a dance.

Can I do it just once?

Walter.

Alexandria? Hey, it's Brandon.

Yeah. Yeah listen

I happen to be in the neighborhood.

You have got a Doberman for a doorman.

- Hi Alexandria.

- What are you doing here?

What do you say we go out

for a late-night dinner right now?

Have a couple killer bottles of wine

go back to that place where we first met...

Hm?

Are you out of your mind?

I live in this building a**hole. This is home.

I don't appreciate

you stopping by without calling.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa.

- What's gotten into you?

- I'll make this sh*t real clear

so this doesn't happen again.

You meant 5000 bucks.

Your friend set it up.

The world still is the same

You never change it

As sure as the stars shine above

Well, you're nobody

Till somebody loves you

So find yourself

Somebody to love

- You know what time it is?

- It is 8:
37 in the a. m.

Wrong. It's time to press my man.

We're gonna yank out all the stops.

When you're winning you press.

You don't rest on your laurels.

What are you doing?

I've got a 10:
30 tee time at Wingfoot

with a client - that Howell guy.

So don't call me unless the lines change.

The salmon are running my man.

You gotta stay here. Gotta field phone calls.

You can't go out playing golf having fun.

Fun? Seor you have obviously

never played Wingfoot.

Come on stop playing around here.

Let's go. You got work to do this week.

I'm not asking you if I can leave Walter.

I'm telling you that's how it is. All right?

You want my picks I can give you those.

Washington minus eight against Miami

Washington.

Saint-Louis KC.

Out of your mind? Las Vegas.

You're gonna start picking

on Tuesday for the weekend huh?

Philadelphia. I love it. Look at that. Cinci.

We'll be advising in the neighborhood

of 20 million dollars this week.

That's a nice neighborhood.

We should be doing double that by week ten.

I see. You're gonna make the picks.

No study no analysis.

You're just gonna pick 'em.

Locked in Walter. I don't really need it.

Look at that. You've got to be kidding me.

Vegas Monday night.

There's my picks for this week.

Now if you want next week's picks

I can give you those by Friday.

- If you wanna join us you can.

- No I'm getting the drift.

Tell you what. We'll keep these on ice

and go over 'em tomorrow.

- I won't be in tomorrow.

- Well then the next day!

Uh we'll talk about it.

Hey Brandon!

- Some of us have to work.

- Oh oh oh. There we go.

- Baby.

- Hey you look great.

- Nice ride.

- "900 K-I-N-G." Did you see the plates?

- Yes I did.

- You feel that? You feel that?

- Don't. Slow down Brandon.

- Oh this car was made to go fast.

- No. Not with me in it. Slow down.

Loosen up will you? Hey.

Let me ask you a question.

When you're not at the salon

or running Julia to play dates

or keeping Walter in line which I know

is a full-time job what do you do for you?

- I stay busy. You're gonna turn here so...

- That's not what I asked.

What do you do for you for Toni?

I was a junkie Brandon. OK?
