Kansas City. We got contingents coming in from Seattle, LA, Frisco. Any takers at 6-to-5? We got about $30,000. You know, Jim... ...we may have to go 2-to-1 to pick up the action a bit. We'll get enough action at 8-to-5. All right. - I'll call up Boston and set up a lay off. - No. No. There's not going to be a lay off. Jim. We could get a couple million dollars on this fight. Wilson's not going to lose. If we try any funny stuff, they'll retire us to the Jersey Flats. No funny stuff. I'm telling you, Wilson's going to take him. All we've got to do... We set up a little lay off. We take a nice 6, 7 cut We walk away with $200,000. No risk. I'd rather walk away with $2 million. Yeah. All right, I'll go along. But if Wilson loses, you better have snowshoes. Because north of the Arctic Circle is the only place we'll be safe. Welcome to Jackson, Mr. Wilson. It's a great honor to serve you. I'll take you up to your suite myself. Here, let me take this. There are three parties in progress, one of which started yesterday afternoon. If there's anything you need, anything. The hotel does allows pets in the room. If you understand my meaning. I don't keep pets. No pets, no booze. - I can read. - And no parties. That's Aunt Hortense. The last party she was at was Teddy Roosevelt's inauguration. - Is she your aunt by blood or marriage? - Blood. I'd be careful about having any children if I were you. Always am. That's the fifteenth private jet this morning. What's going on? Bare-knuckle fight. California boy named Philo Beddoe's taking on some monster from the East Coast. - I ain't seen anything in the papers. - Strictly illegal. No referee, and the fight won't end until one or the other's half dead. Oh, my God. - I think I'm doing something wrong. - You're doing just fine, hon. But we've been flying upside down for 15 minutes, Zack. It takes a little time to get the hang of it. Don't be so hard on yourself, hon. Like the ride at the fair where everything falls out. - I hope so. - You're terrible. - You can't drink upside down. - Sure, you can. - Here, try it. - All right. It worked. You'd be surprised what you can do upside down. Surprise me. I'll take the south side of town. You take the north. - What are we looking for? - I don't know. Keep your eyes out for anything peculiar. And keep Aunt Hortense out of sight. Why, you're Philo Beddoe. - Yes, ma'am. - It's him! - He's looking too good. - Too good by half. Excuse me, ma'am. We can't get decent odds on you looking that good. We're trying to find some fool who will give us 2-to-1. Try to look a little more peaky, would you? Excuse me. - Sorry. - You damn fool! - Let me see that hand. - What? Wiggle your fingers. You could have broken that hand and made paupers out of all of us. Sorry. What are you standing here gabbing for? Get on back to jogging. - I think I might do that. - Wait. No booze, no parties. In bed by 8:00 pm. You can count on that. I do. Did you all see that? The way he grabbed me with one hand like I was a feather? Son of a gun, boys, we're going to be rich. We're already rich, Zack. Mind if I jog with you? You work for some pretty strange folks. Who I work for is my business. They got my girl. They're running together. Talk about beef on a hook. - I got $40 on Beddoe. - You're on. I didn't know. I didn't say you did. I just said you worked for some strange folks. Well, their business isn't mine. I never said it was. We're even, remember? Jim. Tony Paoli's on the way up. - Poor little Tony, he never learns. - Not junior, senior. - Big Tony? - Big Tony. What is he coming here for? Mr. Paoli. What a pleasure to see you. I hear you ain't laying off any of the action. Not so far, no, sir. You got guts. I admire a man with guts. So I says, "Big Tony, maybe now's the time you go out..."
