"So, I keep rolling the dice, and they keep coming up my way." " How much did you win?" " 600 clams." " I got lucky myself last night." " No kidding?" "You remember that cocktail waitress at the duke's?" "As a matter of fact, I do." "Did you get your handcuffs back?" "I'm gonna marry that girl."

"This man has performed valuable services for our country," "Very valuable services." "This isn't a babysitting job, is it?" "Not for your organized crime strike force." "Good." "Yeah, well..." "Okay." "So?" "We are going slow" "To assure ourselves that you understand" "This man is a highly," "Repeat, highly valued asset" "Of the United States government." "Okay, so we know, all right?" "We have a court appearance to go to." "Send him in." "Hello, torello."

Marshals between us and him?" " This is nuts!" "This guy's wanted for murder." " No, he is not." "Ray luca has been granted total immunity from prosecution" "For any and all crimes." "Does that include trying to kill us, too?" "What, are you crazy?" "!" "What has this guy ever done for you?" "This guy has never done anything for anybody in his whole life except himself." "Do you have any idea how many people this punk has murdered?" "There's a trail of blood between here and chicago." " Do you understand that?" " That is enough, mister." "This is the official position of the united states government." "Mr. Luca is not to be harassed or harmed in any way." "You are free to go..." "Now." "I'm saying it ain't right, manny." "Ray luca don't belong here no more." "I'm saying when you reach my age, you see the world differently." "Things that seemed so important 30 years ago," "They don't matter anymore" "Politics, in-feuding," "Petty personal problems." "The only thing of value is what you create." "You understand what I'm saying?" "Manny." "Manny, I'm talking to you, manny." " Manny." " Hmm?" "He was fooling around with my wife." "He tried to kill me, manny." "I tell you, ray has changed." "I owe him for that." "No, max, you owe me." "That's no good." "He's moved on me once already." "He'll try to hit me again," "Unless I take him out first." "He's the one that's expendable." "All he's ever done is go crazy" "I'll tell you what he's done!" "He's already made this organization" "Tens of millions of dollars." "And, what's more important," "He has the potential to make us rich" "Beyond anything we have made in the past," "Beyond anything we've imagined." "You have got to choose, manny" "Ray or me." " You gotta choose." " No, you have to choose, max" "Obey or not." "We have been close for a long time, max." "You've been like a son to me," "But if you force me to," "As much as it hurts me, I will discard you" "Just as surely as if you were a total stranger." "What happened between you and ray" "Is in the past." "Like our friends say" "You don't speak of this again." "But it" "It's preposterous." "Mike, it's the most corrupt thing I've ever heard in my life." "Lu" "No, I don't accept it." "No way." "How the hell can they do this to us, mike?" "How can they give him a free pass?" "They make deals like this every day of the week." "They don't have to say a thing to you and me." "What the hell are we risking our lives for then?" "One thing I can say about ray - he's not the kind of guy" "To let a little thing like an atom bomb get in his way." "Does he glow in the dark, mike, or what?" "Hey, grossman, you see, it's not funny." "Is he gonna be all right, mike?" "I hope so, danny." "Everything he believes in was just taken away from him." "Pauli:" "It's great to be back in las vegas." "Hey, where you goin'?" "We're here on business." "Later on." " Good to see you again." "You know pauli." " How are you?" "Nice to see you both." "Gentlemen, this is it." "This is perfect." "This is my dream" "The highest tower in las vegas, 200 feet higher than the paradise." " Gentlemen, what we're seeing here is the beginning" "Excuse me." "Yeah." "I said I didn't want to be disturbed" "Corky, what do you want?" "What?" "What kind of joke is" "There's some kind of mistake." "He must be some imposter, all right?" "Look, it's not April fool's, okay?" "Only if it's urgent." " What's wrong?" " Nothing." "Gentlemen, ray luca's alive." " He's on his way upstairs." " You want me to call security?" "Call security and get rid of that dunce at the front desk." "Gentlemen, this is exactly what I have been trying to explain to" "Hello, steve." "Ray." "You remodeled the joint." "How come?" "We're not changing it, we're growing." "We're expanding on what was here." "I think it stinks." "It looks like a bank." "What happened to all the neon?" "Shut up, pauli." "Looks good." "You did a good job, steve." "Well, nobody's trying to replace you, ray." "How could they?" "And somebody had to run things" "In your absence." " Want your old office back?" " No." "This is your baby now." "I just came by to say hello, that's all." "Well, that's great." "That's really great." "Ray, so what are you going to be doing now?" "That's a good question, steve." "Hey, ralph." "Mike torello." "How are things in the fbi records?" "Total excitement." "We get a coronary a minute down here." " What do you need?" " Listen, ralphy, I need a big favor." " Yeah?" "Shoot." " Ray luca." "He made some kind of a deal with the g." "I have to know what kind of a deal he made" "And what he had to do to get it, all right?" " Luca, huh?" " Yeah." "Hold on." " Hello, mike?" " Yeah." "Bad news." "I can't help you." "Look, ralph," "I'm a department of justice strike force agent" "Calling the bureau for some information." "Mike, back off." "It's way out of my hands." " The entire luca file is classified, and I mean deep." " Yeah, I get it, okay." "Thanks." "Did you read the obituaries yet, maxy?" " What do you want?" " I want to have a talk about our mutual friend." "Take a walk, torello." "We got nothin' to say to each other." "I've been thinking, maxie, you must really be sweatin' it out," "Thinking about the next time ray luca's gonna try to hit you." " Drop dead." " You maybe, not me." "What do you want, trouble?" "Go ahead, pull your gun." "Go ahead, put it to my head." "Beat me up." "Don't make no difference to me." "Trouble for luca, max, not you." " So why tell me about it?" " Because we both want the same thing." "Look, what's going to happen between ray luca and me" "Is between ray luca and me." "You got that?" "A lot of guys tried to handle luca alone, max." "Yeah, I know, like you." "Well, I'll see you around, max." "Say hello to your uncle manny for me." "Joanne, wake up." "Wake up." "It's me." " It's okay." "It's okay." " Don't hurt me." "I'm not here to hurt you." "I'm here to make things better." "What?" "What do you want?" "I want you." "Really?" "Not just...?" "I've laid awake in bed" "For so long..." "Alone..." "Night after night," "Hoping this would happen," "Till after a while I just gave up." "Now that you're here..." "I don't know what to do." "Everything's gonna be okay." "You won't be needing any of this anymore." "Yeah, get me kansas city." "555-8209." "Hello?" "This is steven kordo." "Yeah, I need your help." "I've got a problem." "A hitter, the best hitter you've got," "Right away." " Cori:" "Do you want a drink?" " Yeah." "Well, what'll it be?" "Scotch, rocks." "I don't have rocks." "You ain't got no rocks?" "Ray..." "Was a scotch man." "Ray:" "He still is." "Ray." "It's me, not casper the ghost." "I..." "You" "You..." "Put my life through hell." "Do you know" "How much that funeral cost?" "cori, cut it out!" "What's the matter, huh?" "Were your fingers broken?" "You couldn't dial the phone and let me know you weren't dead?" "Your whole life is a psychotic episode!" "Yeah, that's what my shrink told me!" "I hate you!" "I hate" "I hate you!" "I hate you!" "Oh, I hate you!" "You, take a hike." "6:45 p." "M., ray and cori drive to the supermarket." "Ray buys six bags of groceries." "Return home at 7:35 p." "M." "And remain home for the rest of the night." "Walter:" "Well, Thursday is joey and me." "They slept in late." "11:18, luca comes out and picks up the morning paper." "He doesn't reappear until 1:34" "When he mows the lawn." "Finishes at 1:52." "Goes back inside until 3:15" "When he goes for a swim." "Swimming, mowing the lawn, shopping for groceries." "This isn't ray luca you're giving me, it's "ozzie and harriet. "" " We're just telling you what the guy did." " You're telling me nothing." "Listen, david, he's playing it cool." "He knows we're watching him." "You can't expect him to do anything else." "Get used to it." "I don't want to get used to it, and I don't think you should either." " You have any other suggestions, counselor?" " You're the police." "Hey, pauli, long time no see." "Come on." "Come on!" "Nice car, pauli." "Is it new?" " What's goin' on?" " I'm gonna help you break it in." " Punk." " Ow!" "What kind of mileage do you get on this, huh?" "What you do that for?" "I didn't do nothin'!" "I want to know what luca did to get immunity" "And what he's doing for 'em now." "Nothin', I ain't telling you nothin'!" "I ain't telling' you nothin' because I'm not your stoolie!" "I got immunity, and there's nothin' you could do about it!" "You want to pinch me?" "Go ahead!" "You want to wreck my car?" "Be my guest!" "You want to beat me to a pulp?" "I don't care!" "You understand?" "You capisce?" "torello!" "Torello!" "Torello!" "I'll just buy a new one!" "I got money!" "Here!" "I'm gonna buy a new car!" "Torello!" "Croupier:" "There it is on six." "Winner, six, the hard way." "200 for the boy." "200 for the boy." " How much are we up?" " Four grand." " Another ride." " $12,000?" "Here we go, baby." "When we're hot, we're hot." "Give me some more." "Bring me some luck." "Okay, here they come." "Coming out now." "We're coming out now." "A seven." "A seven." "A seven." "12, crap, a loser." "Aw, nuts." "There goes my chinchilla." "Ray:" "Hey, don't worry about it." "Man:" "Back up here." "Man:" "Stay back." "Man over radio:" "Mike, angie just called from the atomic lounge." "You better get over there." " All right, come on, let's go." " Mike, how're you doing?" " Come on!" "Let's go." " Let's have a drink, all right?" "Mike:" "Thanks for calling." "I owe you one." " Let's go somewhere else- get off me!" " Come on!" "Michael torello?" "Yeah, that's me." "Federal courthouse tomorrow morning, 9:00 a." "M." "Mr. Abrams, give me some reason" "Why I should not grant a restraining order to mr." "Luca" "Barring your office from harassing him?" "Your honor, our office" "Has never engaged in any harassment of any kind." "What we've engaged in is legitimate police surveillance." "It's our firm belief that ray luca" "Is in las vegas for the sole reason" "Of regaining his position as overseer of organized crime in this city." "Firm belief based on what?" "If mr." "Abrams has any evidence" "That mr." "Luca is involved in any criminal activities whatsoever," " I'd like him to produce it." " Do you have any such evidence?" "Your honor, mr." "Luca has only been back two or three days." "Our surveillance has just begun." "One only has to look at ray luca's record to see that he represents" "A potentially dangerous threat to the people of this community." "His involvement in crime goes back to 1945" "Your honor, mr." "Luca's past history, criminal or otherwise," "Has absolutely no bearing on the matter before the bench." "There is a consistent pattern to violent crime" "In the behavior of ray luca." "It's all here- armed robbery, burglary, racketeering" "Woman:" "All those charges were subsequently dropped." "Murder charges which this office was pressing" "At the time of his disappearance." "Fortunately, he was never brought to trial." "Your honor, mr." "Abrams is well aware" "That mr." "Luca has received immunity" "From the united states government for any past crimes." "For all intents and purposes, the slate has been wiped clean." "No, your honor, you do not wipe clean" "A lifetime of violent antisocial behavior!" "Ray luca is a diseased psychopath" "Who deserves to spend the rest of his life behind bars!" "He killed johnny o'donnell." "He killed a federal agent, jack claymore," "Ted kehoe." "He murdered my father!" "Your honor, I think that mr." "Abrams has just made it very clear" "That his harassment of mr." "Luca" "Has nothing to do with police work," "But rather in the nature of a personal vendetta" "Based on speculation, not evidence." "It is the decision of this court" "To grant the injunction requested." "Mr. Abrams, you and all members" "Of the justice department organized crime strike force" "Are hereby ordered to remain" "No less than 1,000 feet" "From mr." "Luca." "And any violation of this order" "Will result in contempt charges, a fine," "Or time in jail." "Do you understand?" "David, don't let this guy flip you out." " We can get him." " No." "You don't understand, mike." "It's over." "He won." "We're out." "He's in." "There's not a damn thing we can do about it." " Let's drink a toast." " Oh..." "I think I'm going to retire early." "To the glories of the criminal justice system." "Absolutely." "To the lawyers and the judges" "And our very own federal government." "How have they screwed us?" "Let me count the ways." "First, they make a deal with ray luca," "That noted benefactor of mankind." "Second, they surround him with federal marshals." "That's only until ray" "Can dip into the 40 million bucks he's skimmed out of his casinos" "And hire his own goon squad." "Walter:" "Poor ray, the least he can do." "And then last but not least," "The court orders us, menaces to society," "Us dirty, lousy, stinkin', rotten coppers," "Not to walk on the same sidewalk as luca." "Gentlemen..." "Gentlemen," "To the rule of law." "All:" "To the rule of law." "More!" "Keep dancin'!" " Take it off." " It is off." "Well, put it on and take it off again." "David." "David, honey, what are you doing?" "I was playing." "I'm sorry, was I playing too loud?" "What are you doing with the gun?" " Give it to me." " No." " Give it to me now." " No." "all right." "it's empty." "Now it's empty, all right?" "Now go away." "Go on." "Leave me alone." "Go cook something." "Oh, that's a great idea." "And when they ask me what I was doing when you blew your brains out," " I'll just tell them I was fixing your oatmeal." " Here." "Take it." "An injunction." " They granted him a lousy injunction." " Stop it." "So what are you like when you lose an actual trial?" "I don't ever want to see another trial." "I don't want to practice law again or see the inside of a courtroom." "David, you're being a fool." "You have so much to offer," "And you know it." "You'll get through this." "We'll get through this together," "And we'll come out stronger on the other side." "Brenda," "Save the inspirational crap for some sophomore, huh?" "I'm a grown man." "I'm a failure," "Not just to myself, but to the memory of every decent man" "Ever trampled on and slaughtered by ray luca," "Like your husband," "Like my father." "Max, go on backstage after the show." "You bet." "See you later." " Can I get a snap of you and the wife?" " Yeah, sure." "Hi." "How are you?" "Good to see you again." "Staying away from the craps table, huh?" "Joanne, you look great." "Well, thanks, cori." "Hello, max." "Joanne." "Hey, max." "Welcome back, ray." "Pauli:" "Great shot, boss." "The life of riley, huh, pauli?" "This is the best vacation I ever been on," " But I've been working, too." " Working on what?" "A score, boss." "The sweetest score you ever seen." "What do you know about containerized cargo?" "You talkin' about swinging with a truck or something?" "Listen, don't you get it yet?" "We're beyond scores, okay?" "If we're beyond scores, we're not gonna steal no more," " What are we doing here?" " Business." " What kind of business?" " The container business, pauli." "We're going into the container business." "You mean, like milk cartons or somethin'?" "What, did you have alphabet soup for breakfast?" "Will you stop talking, please, so I can make my shot?" "Go stand by your ball." "Go ahead." "Go stand by it." "Go over there." " Nice try, boss." " Go ahead." "You go." "Good shot, huh, boss?" "What are you getting mad about?" "Man:" "He hasn't even tried to get into his own casinos." "He's not running any scams." "He's not laying any juice." "We have turned vegas upside down." "We got zip." "Maybe we can't find out what luca is doing in vegas" "Because it's not happening here." "It's bigger than vegas." "Whatever luca's operation," "It just took a giant step upward." "Our fearless leader returns." " What's happening, david?" " Hello, boys." "You missed us so much, you couldn't stay away, right?" "You got it, danny." " So how're you feeling?" " I feel good." "I feel better than I've felt in a long time." " That's great." "You ready to go back to work?" " I don't think so." " Then what are you doing here?" " I quit." "You what?" "I called hallahan in d." "C." "I can't continue here." " Look, maybe it's just not your field." " No, mike, I resigned already." "I'm leaving las vegas tomorrow night." "7:00 p." "M. Flight." "Brenda's coming with me." "I guess it's good-bye." "Just like that?" "Just like that." "Just like that?" "Just like that." "Yes." "The golden lady, please." "Mr. Steven kordo, please." "Just tell him that his friend from out of town has arrived." "He'll know." "Thank you." "We're closing up." "You're going to have to go." "Come on, guys." "We're closing." "Let's go." "Ray, be careful." "What's wrong, manny?" "Your life is not what I would call..." "Very safe." "It's just business as usual." "No..." "Business is much better than usual, isn't it, ray?" "Well, sure." "Things are going great." "Profits are flowing from chicago to miami." "Our first container ship sailed out of caracas today" "Panamanian registry, all dutch crew," "Financed by our delaware holding company." "Right now we're in the market" "For an air freight company" "And a major merchant shipper." "Of course, we don't nearly have all the real estate we need," "But we're coming close." "We're on our way." "We're going global." "That's what I'm getting at, ray." "What?" "What is it?" "You outdo yourself." "You move us into uncharted waters," "Virgin territory." "Your ambition makes those around you" "Feel puny." "it doesn't seem so bad." "You must learn to look" "Beneath the surface of things." "You must learn to see yourself" "As others will see you." " And how is that?" " A threat," "A terrible threat." "Many will praise you to your face." "They'll also gain a great deal from this..." "Journey you've undertaken." "But when you expect gratitude," "That's when you get a stab in the back." "I'll remember." "I'll be careful." "Be very careful." "Keep your enemies close." "Don't trust anyone absolutely," "Especially your friends." "And if you also stay lucky," "You may live as long as me." "Here's to luck." "yeah." "It's kordo." "Sam." "You didn't say- I didn't" "Sam bernholz, how the hell are you?" "Hiya, kid." "Sit down." "Have a drink." "No." "No, thanks." "I" " I didn't" "I called..." "Kansas city." "I..." "Didn't ask for you." "I heard you retired." "You heard right." "When your old man passed away, I said, "no more. "" "I'm too old." "The nerves are shot." "I didn't come out here to whack anybody, kid," "Especially not ray luca." "It's luca or me." "It's just a matter of time" "Before luca makes his move." "Sam, I have to be first." "No." "Find another way." "Be smart." "Tag onto luca's rocket." "Ride it with him." "You come out here to tell me that?" "You come out he" "I never thought I would see the day" "That sam bernholz couldn't do anything" "For the kordo family." "Times change, kid." "Your father made a lot of money for the outfit," "But ray luca- 50 to 60 million." "The boys don't want anything to happen to him." "I came here to warn you." "And if I didn't love you," "I'd never be here talking to you this way." "If ray luca dies," "You'll be next." "He was never on that plane." "He never bought a ticket." "Brenda doesn't know anything about them going out of town." "Said she hasn't seen him since the other night" "When they had some kind of blowout." "She had to take his gun away, mike." "She's real worried about what he's going to do." "We better find him before he hurts himself." "Hurts himself?" "The only person he's looking to hurt is ray luca." "Come on." "Quick," "Who's your favorite character on "bonanza"?" " Hoss." " Yeah, good answer." "You can die right now, or you can be smart." " You ready to die for ray luca?" " No way." "No way." " Is it safe to go in the house?" " Yeah." "Let's go." " Call your partner." " Bill, you want to come here a minute?" "Little joe's getting the drop on the bad guys." "I just need a hand for a second." "Man on tv:" "The cartwrights can take care of themselves." "Man #2:" "You had no business in that poker game!" "Man #3:" "I told you to stay out of it!" "Don't make a mess in the kitchen." "Otherwise, when my wife comes home, she'll kill us all." "Come here." "Get down!" "You bury your heads in the carpet." "You move, I'll shoot both of you." "You understand?" "Yeah, yeah, okay." "Come on, you guys." "You're gonna miss the shootout." " You clear out of here." " We got a lot of cattle here on the ponderosa." "If a fire got out of control, we'd be in trouble." "End of the line, ray." "I'm sorry, david." "Hey, torello." "You know what you just did?" " You saved my life." " I saved david abrams' life." "I don't want just you anymore, ray." "You get it, ray?" "I really don't." "I want it..." "All."
