:18:00
We have documents, one of which is
a report by retired F.B.I. agents...
:18:06
which completely absolves Mr. Rothstein
from any wrongdoing.
:18:09
- Counselor, before you continue--
- I want to have this marked--
:18:12
This commission is prepared
to act on a motion denying the Rothstein application.
:18:17
- Denying?
- Do I hear a motion seconded?
:18:19
Mr. Chairman,
I second the motion.
:18:21
Do I have a vote
on the motion?
:18:23
- Aye.
- Aye. Aye.
:18:26
The ayes have it.
This hearing is adjourned.
:18:28
- You have to be kidding.
- Adjourned? What do you mean, "Adjourned"?
:18:32
Senator, you promised me a hearing. You
didn't even look at the F.B.I. reports.
:18:36
When you were my guest
at the Tangiers Hotel, did you not promise me a fair hearing?
:18:42
- I was never your guest.
- You were never my guest? I never comped you?
:18:46
- I don't comp you
at least three times a month? - I'd like to answer that.
:18:50
Mr. Rothstein is being very typical
to this point. He's lying.
:18:53
The only time I was at the Tangiers
was with Barney Greenstein.
:18:58
- Was I at that dinner?
Tell me, was I at that dinner? - You were wandering.
:19:01
- Was I at that dinner? Was l?
- You were wandering.
:19:04
- You were... in the--
You were in the building. - I was in the building?
:19:07
You know I was at that dinner,
and you swore to me I would have a fair hearing. Did you not?
:19:13
Did you not? Well, tell me I was at
least at the dinner. Allow me that much.
:19:18
- Give me that much at least!
- Yes, you were.
:19:22
Thanks for not calling me a liar,
you son of a bitch. You son of a--

A routine licensing hearing
turned into bedlam yesterday...
:19:30
when the flamboyant Tangiers Casino
executive, Sam "Ace" Rothstein...
:19:33
- What are you runnin' for, Bob?
- accused the state's top gaming officials of corruption.
:19:37
You promised me when you were
getting comped at my hotel.
:19:40
You were asking me for copies
of your bill so you could put 'em on your expense account.
:19:43
In a wild outburst that followed
his gaming license denial...
:19:46
- Bullshit! Bullshit!
- Rothstein followed several...
:19:49
stunned commissioners into the hallway
where he continued his harangue...
:19:53
until his own lawyers
and friends urged him to leave.
:19:55
You have a past. I have a past.
My past is no worse than yours.
