You know,
Ace could be a very touchy guy.
:53:04
Especially when
he got bigger in town.
:53:06
Like when he hired
that Jonathan and David and their tigers away from the Palace...
:53:09
by building them a new stage
and giving them a Rolls-Royce.
:53:13
But I'll tell you, he knew
how to bring in the crowds.
:53:16
He knew all
the fuckin' angles.
:53:18
He brought over the whole
"Femme Fatale" show from Paris...
:53:21
but he forgot how lazy them
European dancing broads can get.
:53:24
He had to weigh 'em in
once a week to make sure they didn't blow up like balloons.
:53:29
She's still eight pounds over.
:53:31
- What's the reason for this?
- Mr. Rothstein, sir.
:53:33
Never mind the "sir."
Why is she eight pounds over?
:53:36
I'm trying to use respect.
:53:38
Mr. Rothstein is good enough for you.
:53:41
Well, sometimes when you put
that pressure point on them--
:53:44
All you do is give me answers.
Just give me the right answer.
:53:48
I guess she's frightened. If she doesn't
lose weight she may get fired.
:53:52
That's right, she will get fired.
Send her back to Paris--
:53:55
- It's been our policy--
- Just stop everything!
:53:57
- This woman's an institution.
- That's the problem. She's lazy.
:54:00
Hey,
I gotta give the guy credit.
:54:02
I mean, he does
the most obvious thing.
:54:04
This is the only town in the country
where a bookie joint is legit.
:54:08
So why not take advantage, right?
:54:10
So, he took bookie joints
off the street...
:54:13
and then opened them up
inside the casino.
:54:16
Within a few years
by doing all of this...
:54:18
he had every casino on the strip
trying to copy off of him.
:54:21
Between my innovations...
:54:25
and Nicky's dedication
to his job...
:54:31
I soon had the best
operation on the strip.
:54:36
You gotta watch yourself.
There's a lot of heat on you already.
:54:40
Why?
Somebody's complainin'?
:54:43
I'm hearing things
from security.
:54:45
The sheriff's lookin'
to put you in the Black Book.
:54:47
That Black Book
is a bunch of bullshit.
:54:50
They got two names
from the whole country...
:54:52
and one of 'em
is still AI Capone.
:54:54
If they put you in that book,
you're gonna be in trouble.
:54:57
You will not be able
to walk into a casino.
