"Marty:" "We have another strategy that would just blast the dead bolt off of fort knox." "Unfortunately, we're unable to propose it at this time, because we've put it in front of another casino." "It's fucking Carlson, isn't it?" "You cannot set up your own shop coming off of an $80 million deal blowing up in your face." "That Marty on the line?" "Remind him that I own his ass."

"The pg deposition." "Guys, are you fucking kidding me?" "Your man is having a temper tantrum because I went to a legally mandated deposition?" "Hey, look, when it comes to business, he's a bad-ass ninja, but he's also an extremely sensitive soul." "Yeah, Marty, you got to make this shit right with Carlson."

"Can you explain something to me?" "Why does everyone get their panties wet over fuckin' New York, huh?" "I mean, the weather is shit, the streets smell like..." "You know, well, they-they... they..." "Phew. (Clears throat) Well..." "You have no argument here." "I think New York is a cesspool of, you know, hipsters and hypocrites."

"I'll sign it when I get there." "Or..." "You could just blow me off again." "Uh... yeah, let's go to Vegas!" "Mm!" "Mm!" "Yes!" "Great." "You, uh, got a jet gassed up at van nuys or something?"

"Do you mind?" "No." "Well, you know, Jeannie," "I once had a thing with my boss that did not end well, so..." "Okay, um, I don't know what Doug told you." "Mm." "I don't even know what Doug thinks that he knows, but, um, nothing is going on between Marty and me." "Oh, no, I meant you and the rainmaker guy." "Oh." "But that is interesting." "You and Marty." "That makes sense." "Well, it doesn't make sense, because it's not happening." "Oh, God." "Tamara, 3:00." "We hate her, correct?" "Honestly..." "Sarah:" "Hey, Tamara!" "Good to see you!" "What a fake bitch." "(Scoffs)" "No wonder her husband left her for a job in New York." "I mean, right?" "I need to make a phone call." "Oh, you don't need to make an excuse to me." "I'm not." "I-I actually need to make a phone call." "It's okay." "Honestly, you're not my thing." "You're cold, you're a little boring-- no offense-- but for some reason, this matters to Doug, and so, we are going to make the effort." "Okay?" "That's a pretty big sacrifice." "Hanging out with me." "But it sounds like you really do love Doug, so..." "I do." "Yeah." "Ooh." "(Phone beeps) I'll make this in the other room." "Oh?" "(Tires squealing, engine revving)" "(Rock music blaring) Carlson:" "I love this place!" "You can scream as loud as you want, and no one will hear." "Well, here we are." "Yeah, I see you really went, uh... (Music stops) ..." "Rustic with the office decor, huh?" "(Sighs)" "Marty?" "Yeah?" "You ever feel like you have a problem that you just can't figure out how to solve?" "Uh... sometimes, sure." "So what do you do?" "What do I...?" "I'm not sure I follow..." "Me" " I like to come out here." "I find that the desert really clears my head." "(Sighs)" "(Laughs)" "Let's solve our problem, Marty, once and for all." "Um... (Cocks gun)" "(Gunshot)" "(Gun cocks)" "(Gunshot)" "(Spitting)" "Gun works!" "Great shot!" "Yeah." "(Laughs)" "(Quietly):" "I'm gonna kill you in your sleep, you fucking prick." "(Ringtone playing)" "(Sighs)" "Yeah." "Did you know that Tamara is taking a job with demark in New York?" "What the fuck are you talking about?" "I just got off the phone with a friend of mine, and he says it's a done deal." "Carlson:" "You get reception out here?" "I can't get shit." "Who's your provider?" "Are you there?" "I got to call you back." "You see this rifle?" "Yeah." "Ernest Hemingway used this to hunt elephants." "No shit." "No shit." "I outbid one of his grandkids at an auction for it." "(Laughter)" "(Both sigh)" "So, uh, how do we do this?" "One shot, open sights." "You hit the target, we jump back in the hummer, we drive straight to Vegas, and I sign those papers." "What if I don't?" "No, Marty." "Where would I be if I only asked myself, "what if I don't?"" "You have to ask yourself, "what if I do?"" "All right." "Just feel it." "One shot." "(Sighs)" "Oh!" "(Laughter)" "Right?" "Feels great, right?" "(Whoops)" "Honestly, it feels fucking great." "Right." "Yes." "You know what, Mike?" "Fuck the deal." "Huh?" "Fuck the deal, fuck the papers." "Let's just do this some more." "Can we do that?" "Are you serious?" "Yeah, I'm dead serious." "Yes!" "Great." "And thank you for asking." "Okay." "Do you know what?" "You know what?" "Can I go get another toy out of the back, though?" "What?" "No, no, get whatever you want." "I saw something back there." "I just..." "I'm dying..." "No, grab anything you want." "Okay." "Fucking great." "Whoo!" "(Grunts)" "(Laughs)" "(Gunshot)" "(Laughs) Whoo!" "It's beautiful!" "Yeah!" "(Gun cocks in distance)" "Hey." "(Engine starts)" "Marty?" "You motherfucker!" "Marty:" "Enjoy your watermelon, asshole!" "Marty?" "!" "Marty, what...?" "!" "(Gunshot)" "Fuck you, Marty!" "(Bird screeching) Fuck!" "So that's it, huh?" "I mean, you wouldn't even just consider buying the broscaper junior as a gift... for your nephew?" "Alex:" "You know, to properly coif the nether regions." "He's eight." "Kyle:" "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." "Broscaper junior." "Hey, can I talk to you for one second?" "I apologize." "No." "No, you guys should keep talking." "Malcolm." "You got this, man." "Close this deal." "You got this." "She's gonna buy it." "All right." "What's up, bud?" "(Groans)" "You see what he's trying to do, right?" "With this whole "let's be p." "Diddy" thing?" "Yeah." "Wait." "What's he doing?" "He's trying to marginalize you, because he's fucking jealous." "But the clubs, war-- that is what put the dushkin name on the map." "And you're the brains behind that operation." "Everyone fucking knows that." "They do?" "Of course they do." "Are you kidding me?" "You're Simon, he's Garfunkel, and he's tired of it, so he's trying to build his own thing." "Look at him spraying that shit around." "What the fuck is he doing, man?" "He's trying to make you Garfunkel." "He's making me fucking Garfunkel?" "I'm telling you." "Beauty." "Who's Garfunkel?" "It's... a bad..." "That's a bad ref..." "Nobody knows..." "You're right." "Nobody knows you're Garfunkel." "I apologize." "Think about the stupid fucking products he's throwing around." "Pussy cologne?" "Pussy cologne." "Broscaper junior for eight-year-olds?" "Man, they don't even have pubes." "That's right, Alex." "They don't even have pubes." "What are they gonna be shaving-- their skin fucking off?" "Oh." "These are terrible, terrible ideas, and you knew that." "See, I fucking knew that you knew that." "Man, I get that you want to support him." "I understand." "He's your brother, but..." "Are you really gonna let him destroy everything that you worked so fucking hard to build up just over some bullshit power play?" "(Laughs)" "Hey, Kyle..." "Come on." "We're gonna hear Clyde's pitch. (Sighs)" "I gotta set up in here." "It'll take two seconds." "All right." "Let's do this." "She wanted some snatch." "Come on." "Do you want some money, though?" "This better be fucking good." "(Phone buzzing)" "Hey." "Hey." "Listen, the Carlson deal's on hold." "Fuck." "Why do you always assume it's a bad thing?" "Has daddy ever let you down before?" "Well..." "Don't answer that." "Look, I may also need you to run point on the paperwork with my lawyer." "Okay." "Is Tamara in the loop yet?" "She's not a concern of mine anymore." "What does that mean?" "It means she's not my concern." "Uh, I gotta go." "(Phone beeps off)" "Mr. pincus." "Marty." "It's been a while." "Yeah." "What can I do for you?" "Well, uh..." "You can give me your word that, uh, all the afterwork will go through my new company after we make this deal." "(Laughing)" "What deal are we making?" "Online gambling." "The deal I already said no to." "That's right." "Jesus, Marty, you're relentless." "So is Michael Carlson." "Who's parlaying the money he'll make on online gaming to strengthen his stranglehold on the strip." "It's a lot of alliteration, isn't it?" "I know." "Allow me to illuminate." "Now, the casinos in red, those are the ones Michael Carlson already owns." "The ones in blue he can't touch because they're thriving-- caesars being the king of that hill because of their online poker presence." "But the green ones, Mr. pincus, the green ones, they're vulnerable, struggling to survive." "And those are the ones that Michael Carlson is going to try to acquire." "See that one there?" "That's you." "Marty, no one's acquiring me, least of all fucking Carlson." "I..." "I'm rebuilding." "Just waiting on those zoning permits, right?" "They should've come through by now, though." "Mr. pincus, have you heard of the name Samuel walterman?" "How about Daniel Lopez?" "They're on the city council." "How many city councilmen do you have on the speed dial of your phone?" "Because Michael Carlson has at least two." "(Line ringing) Carlson's phone?" "Where did you get that?" "He left it in his car." "Man:" "Hey, Mike." "What can I do for you?" "Hey, you know where I can bury a dead hooker, Danny?" "Uh, it's gonna cost you." "(Phone beeps off)" "Oh." "Sounded really chummy, didn't he?" "Now, how much are you willing to bet that Michael Carlson pulled a lot of strings to make sure that your paperwork didn't go through, try to force you into selling?" "Mr. pincus, you said online gaming didn't excite you, but fucking over Michael Carlson and making a boatload of money in the process, all while polishing the emerald to a high sheen-- that has got to be pretty fucking exciting." "I'm in." "Can I have that?" "Whoo!" "Do you see it, baby?" "Oh, my God!" "What is that smell?" "Did you see it?" "Oh!" "Oh, Clyde, at least keep the door open." "God, what is it?" "I can..." "I can almost taste it." "Oh." "Oh, you guys must be allergic to the smell of victory because the dushkin twins loved my fucking pitch." "Now, they don't know where the hell Barcelona is, but they cannot wait to open up a club there, and that is because of me." "Clyde..." "Take a beat before..." "Before what, huh?" "Before the dushkin twins start writing some fat fucking checks to galweather stearn?" "Is that what I'm..." "What am I waiting for?" "I don't understand." "No, I'm just saying that the Carlson deal is not even closed yet." "Oh, I see." "It..." "Am I detecting some sour grapes, Jeannie?" "You afraid that I'm sucking some of the wattage from your star power?" "Is that what it is?" "You know what?" "You're right, Clyde." "I'm-I'm sure it'll go off without a hi..." "Without a hitch." "(Coughs)" "Congratulations." "I'm gonna burn this." "I'm gonna burn this suit." "I'm gonna burn this suit!" "(Doug groans)" "Oh, hey." "Um, you know," "Sarah told me that you guys had a really nice chat." "Hmm?" "She's great, right?" "Doug, Sarah is..." "Sh-she really, really cares about you." "I know." "It's crazy, right?" "For two people to have what we have?" "God, I just love her." "Oh, look who comes home." "Hey, pop." "Uh, well, you're just in time because..." "I was about to make my move on your beautiful visitor." "(Marty chuckles)" "Mm-hmm." "What?" "Nice meeting you, Tamara!" "(Chuckles) Not good?" "Eh." "Not unless you like evil bitches." "Oh, shit." "What the fuck, Marty?" "I know, I know, I know." "Sorry." "Hey, what-what are you doing here?" "What am I doing here?" "I waited for you for almost two hours." "I know." "I called your phone, you didn't answer." "I got worried." "I've been..." "listen," "I was on a plane... yeah." "Thank you." "Back from Vegas." "Deal is done." "What?" "Are you kidding me?" "I know." "No." "Oh, honey." "Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm." "I told you we'd be celebrating tonight." "I know." "Doing the unspeakable." "Mmm." "(Jeannie and Nate moaning)" "You know, she didn't even tell him." "That is so fucked up." "Yeah, yeah." "Yeah." "Right?" "I mean, I'm not saying Marty's, like, an angel or anything... if you want to leave your husband, uh-uh." "He's not an angel." "Go back to your husband." "Just own it okay, okay." "And be a decent, fucking human." "Can we maybe not discuss your boss's love life right at this moment?" "You don't like talking during sex" " I get it." "No, I like talking a lot." "I do." "I just, you know..." "Would you prefer that I blow you and just... (Chuckles) Keep my mouth occupied?" "Why are you picking a fight with me?" "I'm not picking a fight with you." "Tamara:" "Let's get to it, baby." "Oh, wait, wait, wait." "Little wrinkle." "Um..." "I took the deal..." "Mm-hmm." "To pincus." "Yeah." "It's gonna be a big piece of business for kaan and associates." "It's gonna be a game-changer, really." "But, Marty," "I'm-I'm totally confused because you know how important this deal was." "Yeah, how much you had riding on it." "That deal was, like, everything to me." "Yes, I understand." "You made that very clear." "(Sighs)" "I was gonna tell you about my job at demark." "I was." "Yeah, well, guess somebody beat you to it." "Yeah, clearly." "Let me guess." "Was it, um, I don't know, was it Jeannie?" "Is something going on with you and Marty?" "No." "We're not..." "I mean, we're not..." "If that's what you're asking." "That's not what I'm asking." "Just seemed like..." "Until today, you were really happy." "I thought things were good." "They are." "They were." "You know, Marty, we could've talked about this like adults." "Yeah, but this just seemed so right." "I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings." "Don't..." "Tamara, you fucked me over, okay?" "No, I am." "That is..." "You-you-you played me." "You're so great, Nate." "I mean, you're truly amazing." "Are you breaking up with me?" "I don't..." "I don't think you should." "(Sighs)" "I don't think I should either." "So don't." "Tamara:" "Really?" "I fucked you?" "Marty, how far did you think this thing was gonna go?" "You think I don't know who you are?" "I know exactly who Marty kaan is." "I'm sorry." "(Phone buzzing)" "Jeannie:" "Hey." "Yeah." "It's me." "Listen." "(Clears throat)" "Get everybody together and meet me at the office in 20 minutes." "(Elevator bell dings)" "Kiddies." "Take a good look around." "Soak it all in."
