Thanks for taking the time
to fly down here -

1:50:24

- to a lonely Italian exile
with a swollen prostate gland.

1:50:30

This tragic mess with the Flamingo -

1:50:33

- is being perpetrated by one
of my oldest friends. Benny Siegel.

1:50:38

Here's where we stand. The Flamingo
will open on Christmas Day.

1:50:47

My hotel friends tell me that's the
stupidest time to open a new joint.

1:50:52

The total cost is now $6 million.
That's $5 million more than agreed.

1:50:58

To get the last few million
he needed, -

1:51:01

- Benny has had to sell
400% of the hotel.

1:51:06

He's sold to famous movie stars
and wealthy businessmen.

1:51:13

They ain't just going to roll over
when it's time to collect.

1:51:17

If there is a time to collect
in this whole fucking fiasco.

1:51:23

Now all of this is nothing
compared to the most serious matter.

1:51:28

The question of stealing.

1:51:32

My banking friends in Switzerland
tell me that Virginia Hill...

1:51:36

This broad that Joey A. Used to fuck
and Benny's in love with...

1:51:41

She's pulled off a couple of million
from this here deal.

1:51:49

There's a simple basic question
we have to ask:

1:51:52

Did this broad steal this money
without Benny knowing about it, -

1:51:58

- or is she just fronting for Benny?
