SAM: The town will never be the same.
1:18:13
After the Tangiers,
the big corporations took it all over.

1:18:18
Today it looks like Disneyland.
1:18:27
While the kids play cardboard pirates...
1:18:29
Mummy and Daddy drop the house
payments and junior's college money...

1:18:33
on the poker slots.
1:18:38
In the old days, dealers knew your name,
what you drank, what you played.

1:18:42
Today, it's like checking into an airport.
1:18:44
If you order room service,
you're lucky if you get it by Thursday.

1:18:48
Today it's all gone. A whale shows up
with $4 million in a suitcase...

1:18:52
and some 25-year-old hotel school kid
will want his Social Security number.

1:18:58
After the Teamsters got knocked out
of the box...

1:19:00
the corporations tore down practically
every one of the old casinos.

1:19:04
And where did the money come from
to rebuild the pyramids?

1:19:08
Junk bonds.
1:19:15
SAM: Still not sure?
1:19:17
SAM: Probable. Maybe questionable.
1:19:19
SAM: All right, let me know as soon
as you can find out.

1:19:22
SAM: In the end, I wound up
right back where I started.

1:19:26
I could still pick winners...
1:19:27
and I could still make money
for all kinds of people back home.

1:19:31
And why mess up a good thing?
1:19:34
And that's that!
