SHERBERT enters, stands next to ACE.

ACE
The probability on one-four-reel
machine is a million and a half to
one. On three machines in a row,
it's in the billions. It cannot
happen... would not happen, you
****in' momo! What's the matter with
you! Didn't you see you were bein'
set up on the second win?

WARD
I really think you're -

ACE
(Interrupts)
You - Wait! You didn't see that you
were being set up on the second win?

WARD
I really think you're overreacting
in this whole -

ACE
(Interrupts)
Listen, you ****in' yokel, I've had
it with you. I've been carryin' your
ass in this place ever since I got
here. Get your ass and get your things
and get out of here.

WARD
You're firin' me?

ACE
I'm firin' you? No, I'm not firin'
(mocking WARD)
I'm firin' you, you -

Gives SHERBERT a look.

WARD
You might regret this, Mr Rothstein.

ACE
I'll regret it even more if I keep
you on.

WARD
This is not the way to treat people.

ACE
Listen, if you didn't know you're
bein' scammed, you're too ****in'
dumb to keep this job. If you did
know, you were in on it. Either way,
you're out! Get out! Go on.
(To SHERBERT.)
Let's go.

ACE and SHERBERT walk off, WARD turns to leave.

wat?

It's a pretty great scene tobesure.

I guess that makes America in a Nutshell:

awesome. this could get good!

Ace Rothstein: You guys have to be kidding, adjourned? What do you mean adjoured? Mr. Chairman, Senator. You promised me a hearing, you won't allow me a hearing? You didn't even look at the FBI reports. When you were my guest, Mr. Chairman, Senator, at the Tangiers hotel, did you not promise me that I would have a fair hearing?
Senator: I was never... I was never your guest at the Tangiers...
Ace Rothstein: You were never my guest?
Senator: ...that's right.
Ace Rothstein: I never comped you? I don't comp you at least 2 or 3 times a month? At the Tangiers?
Senator: I... I'd like to answer that at this time, Mr. Rothstein is being very typical to this point. He's lying. The only time I was at the Tangiers was when I had dinner with Barney Greenstein.
Ace Rothstein: Was I at that dinner? Tell me, was I at that dinner?
Senator: You were wandering.
Ace Rothstein: Was I at that dinner? Was I?
Senator: You were wandering around. You were in the... you were in the building.
Ace Rothstein: I was in the building? You know damn well I was at that dinner, and you swore to me I would have a fair hearing. Did you not? Did you not? Well, tell me I was at least at the dinner. Allow me that much. Give me that much at least!



Senator: Yes, you were.
Ace Rothstein: Yeah. Thanks for not calling me a liar. You son of a bitch.

I fly stuff in fresh every day. I get bread from back home, I get fish from California, and you can always tell a great kitchen like ours 'cause of the milk-fed veal. That's the secret. See milk-fed veal is pure white. Out here, they got that pink veal. Slide over, honey. Now pink veal, you can pound that **** for two days, and it'll never ever get tender, you know what I mean?

milk fed veal, yum. pink veal is like playing holdem on a kitchen table, without the felt...
