00:00:01VIC: Sure, I remember The Alamo.
00:00:03See? I told you he would.
00:00:04Laurence Harvey, Richard Widmark and John Wayne as Davy Crockett.
00:00:07Great battle scenes, nice sets, but way too long.
00:00:10We're not talking about a movie.
00:00:12No, we're, we're talking about our holosuite program.
00:00:14Oh, that Alamo. What about it?
00:00:16Well, we've got Holosuite 4 booked for an hour and were wondering whether you'd like to join us?
00:00:20Look, fellas, I'm touched by the offer, but I don't know.
00:00:23Well, we can transfer your matrix to the Alamo program.
00:00:26You've got to leave Vegas sometimes, right?
00:00:28Oh, true, but I'm afraid I have to say no.
00:00:30Why?
00:00:32I don't look good in buckskin.
00:00:33( laughs )
00:00:35VIC: Tell you what I'll do, though.
00:00:36How about a little tune to get you into a Texas state of mind?
00:00:39Fellas... "Alamo."

00:01:17( whistling )
00:01:21Hey, come on, step down here!
00:01:25( whistles and hoots continue)
00:01:32MAN: Oh, honey!
00:01:37MAN 2: Show me, show me!
00:01:44Way to go, baby!
00:01:45Off the stage! Get down!
00:01:50What the hell... ?
00:01:51What is all this?!
00:01:52Don't ask me!
00:01:53Maybe there's a pointer fault in the holosuite's parameter file.
00:01:56MAN: Well, look who's here.
00:02:00The pretty boy singer himself.
00:02:01Frankie Eyes.
00:02:03What are you doing in Vegas?
00:02:05Whatever happened to
00:02:07"Hello, Frankie. Long time no see.
00:02:08"Make yourself at home.
00:02:10Can I get you anything?"
00:02:13Do you believe this guy?
00:02:15No manners.
00:02:16You born in a barn or something?
00:02:18This gentleman a friend of yours?
00:02:20We know each other.
00:02:22We're a long way from South Philly, ain't we, Vic?
00:02:25So, are you here on business or pleasure?
00:02:27Let's just say I'm here to stay while you, Vicky-boy, are about to take a powder.
00:02:32I'm not going anywhere.
00:02:34I got news for you, pal
00:02:35I just bought this hotel.
00:02:36You're history.
00:02:38You can't fire me. I have a contract.
00:02:40And you can paper your walls with it.
00:02:42You're finished in this town, Vic.
00:02:44You're blackballing me?
00:02:45As of this moment you couldn't get a job as a singing busboy.
00:02:49Now, are you going to walk out of here or do you have to be carried out?
00:02:53Makes no difference to me.
00:02:54Let me handle this.
00:02:56Computer, delete characters
00:03:00Frankie Eyes and, uh-- I'm sorry
00:03:02I didn't catch your name.
00:03:03Cicci.
00:03:04Cicci!
00:03:06Cicci from the holosuite's program.
00:03:08What's a holosuites?
00:03:10Beats me.
00:03:12They're still here, Chief.
00:03:14Computer, freeze program.
00:03:22There must be a little problem in the character deletion algorithm...
00:03:25I'll show you the door.
00:03:26Make that a big problem.
00:05:25So, what's it going to be, pally?
00:05:27I guess I start packing.
00:05:28Smart boy.
00:05:30All right, Cicci, come on.
00:05:31Let's check out my casino.
00:05:40So, what do we do now?
00:05:41Nothing we can do.
00:05:44Frankie's a made man, capisce?
00:05:47No, I'm not talking about Frankie.
00:05:48I'm talking about fixing the entire program.
00:05:50Well, we could shut it down manually and reset it but that would wipe Vic's memory.
00:05:56He'd forget everything that's happened since we activated him.
00:05:59Oh, hold on, pally. Nobody's wiping my memory.
00:06:01Of course not.
00:06:02But there must be some other way.
00:06:04I wish I knew what it was.
00:06:06I better talk to Felix.
00:06:07After all, he was the one who designed this program.
00:06:09You do that.
00:06:10In the meantime you stay out of the way of Frankie Eyes.
00:06:14You'll get no argument from me.
00:06:18I'll tell you one thing.
00:06:20If this Frankie Eyes hurts Vic in any way he's going to have to answer to me.
00:06:24I do not understand how you could feel such loyalty for a hologram.
00:06:29He's not just a hologram.
00:06:31He's my friend.
00:06:32Don't you like Vic?
00:06:34As a singer, I find him... entertaining.
00:06:38But beyond that, I neither like him nor dislike him.
00:06:40He is a hologram and therefore, he does not exist.
00:06:43He does for me.
00:06:45I just talked to Felix.
00:06:47I know what's been affecting Vic's program.
00:06:49It's a jack-in-the-box.
00:06:51A what?
00:06:52A jack-in-the-box.
00:06:53It's a children's toy on Earth.
00:06:55You wind it up and a figure pops out and goes "boo."
00:06:57Except this kind of jack-in-the-box is different.
00:06:58It doesn't go "boo."
00:06:59No.
00:07:00This surprise is buried deep in the holosuite program.
00:07:03It's meant to shake things up you know-- make things interesting.
00:07:06I wasn't bored, were you?
00:07:08Not at all.
00:07:09I liked Vic's the way it was.
00:07:11Well, according to Felix, if we get rid of Frankie Eyes everything resets back to the way it was.
00:07:15Well, that's good to know.
00:07:17So, how do we get rid of Frankie Eyes?
00:07:18BASHIR: Now, that's up to us.
00:07:20But Felix did warn me the program is period specific.
00:07:22In other words, if we shoot him we have to use a .45 automatic and not a phaser.
00:07:26We can't shoot Frankie. It's too dangerous.
00:07:28The mob could retaliate against Vic.
00:07:29If anything happens to Vic, his matrix will be eliminated from the program, permanently.
00:07:33The news just keeps getting better, doesn't it?
00:07:35What news?
00:07:36Oh, nothing, sir.
00:07:38We're, uh, talking about a holosuite program.
00:07:40BASHIR: Vic Fontaine's hotel has just been bought by... gangsters.
00:07:44I see.
00:07:45When do you plan on going back to work?
00:07:48Right away, sir.
00:07:59Whatever you decide to do, Chief count me in.
00:08:02I owe Vic.
00:08:03I thought losing my leg was the end of my Starfleet career.
00:08:06He taught me otherwise.
00:08:07KIRA: He changed my life, too... and Odo's.
00:08:10Now... all we need's a plan.
00:08:19Mmm. Your daddy would be proud.
00:08:22My daddy taught me everything I know.
00:08:25How nice.
00:08:26So, how was your day?
00:08:29It's getting better.
00:08:31Did something happen?
00:08:32It's Vic.
00:08:34Vic?
00:08:35Vic Fontaine.
00:08:37A gangster named Frankie Eyes took over his lounge.
00:08:39The whole place has changed and no one's sure how to change it back.
00:08:46What?
00:08:47Nothing.
00:08:49I guess this sounds pretty silly to you.
00:08:52A little.
00:08:54You have to understand
00:08:56Vic isn't just another holosuite program.
00:08:58He's more like a friend.
00:09:00Kasidy, can we talk about something else?
00:09:03Sure.
00:09:07How come you've never been to Vic's?
00:09:09Does it matter?
00:09:11You like going there, and I don't.
00:09:12Let's leave it at that.
00:09:14I was only asking.
00:09:15And I gave you my answer.
00:09:18There are times when I just can't figure you out.
00:09:22Well... maybe that's part of the attraction.
00:09:28Believe that if you want to.
00:09:35VIC: Who is it?
00:09:37It's Miles and Julian.
00:09:38Just a minute.
00:09:41( clunking )
00:09:47You wouldn't happen to have an ice pack on you, would y...?
00:09:56Hey, pally.
00:09:58Whose side are you on?
00:09:59I'm sorry, but you've got three bruised ribs here and your left wrist is sprained.
00:10:03But the good news is your skull is still in one piece.
00:10:07Thanks.
00:10:08I feel better already.
00:10:09That jack-in-the-box.
00:10:11I can't believe Felix would do that to me.
00:10:13Oh, don't take it personally, Vic.
00:10:15He was just trying to do me a favor by not letting things get too boring.
00:10:17I thought that was my job.
00:10:19Oh, and you're great at it.
00:10:21You know, we love you.
00:10:22So, you gonna tell us what happened?
00:10:24I slipped in the bathtub.
00:10:26Oh, yeah... and you knocked over this furniture looking for a bandage, right?
00:10:29Something like that.
00:10:32Frankie sent Tony Cicci to pay me a little visit.
00:10:34He wanted to remind me not to take too long packing.
00:10:38What is it with you and Frankie?
00:10:40It goes back to the old neighborhood when we were kids.
00:10:42I used to beat him at stickball.
00:10:45And?
00:10:46And...
00:10:47Nothing. We've been rivals ever since.
00:10:50That Felix, huh?
00:10:51When he designs a holosuite program, he doesn't fool around.
00:10:55Huh. Tell me about it.
00:10:57Now, you should get some rest.
00:10:58Maybe take a little vacation.
00:11:00A vacation?
00:11:01Did you guys take a vacation when the Dominion took over DS9?
00:11:05It's not the same thing.
00:11:06It is to me.
00:11:07This is my life, remember?
00:11:09I don't run at the first sign of trouble.
00:11:11We're not asking you to run anywhere.
00:11:13We just want you to stay out of sight while we come up with a plan.
00:11:16What plan?
00:11:17How to get rid of Frankie Eyes.
00:11:19Odo and Kira are in the lounge right now.
00:11:20Doing what?
00:11:22Checking up on Frankie.
00:11:23We need to find his weak spot.
00:11:27I hope you know what you're getting me into.
00:11:29If you guys screw up
00:11:31I'm the one who winds up buried in the desert.
00:11:35( sultry jazz playing )
00:11:39MAN: Here we go, here we go.
00:11:52Let me guess.
00:11:53You'll look around here while I check out the casino?
00:11:58Oh... uh, if you prefer, I'll go, uh...
00:12:01Enjoy yourself.
00:12:03Just remember-- we have a job to do.
00:12:11Of course.
00:12:13( men laughing )
00:12:18MAN: Then I drive him out to the woods.
00:12:20Badda-bing, badda-bang!
00:12:21Three shots in the back of the head.
00:12:23That's the end of Little Paulie.
00:12:25So, what do you think Frankie says when I report back in?
00:12:28"Little Paulie?!
00:12:29No! I told you to pop Big Paulie!"
00:12:33( all laughing )
00:12:39That's the problem with our business-- too many guys named Paulie!
00:12:49KIRA: Hit me.
00:12:52I'm done.
00:12:54Not so fast.
00:12:56What kind of card is that to give such a pretty lady?
00:12:58Hit her again.
00:12:59Isn't that against the rules?
00:13:01Don't worry about it.
00:13:03Double your bet.
00:13:14Twenty-six.
00:13:16What's wrong with you?
00:13:17Again.
00:13:23You're starting to aggravate me, pal.
00:13:26Twenty-one.
00:13:27Finally.
00:13:29Pay the lady.
00:13:30Yes, sir.
00:13:32If I were you, I'd, uh, quit while I was ahead.
00:13:34Hmm.
00:13:36The name's Frank Chalmers but everyone calls me Frankie Eyes.
00:13:39Why is that?
00:13:40'Cause I don't miss a trick.
00:13:41You're very sure of yourself.
00:13:43Well, doubt is for losers.
00:13:44And quite a philosopher.
00:13:46Well, I'm thinking of writing a book.
00:13:47What's the title?
00:13:49Well, maybe you could help me think one up.
00:13:50My talents lie in other directions.
00:13:53Good title.
00:13:54Mind if I use it?
00:13:56I'd say you already paid for it.
00:13:57So what do you say we, uh, hit the roulette table and see if I can't buy Chapter One?
00:14:08Hey, Max... Max, come here.
00:14:10I want you to see this.
00:14:16Ah! Ah!
00:14:28I don't believe it. He did it again.
00:14:31Buddy, I've been hanging out in bars for 20 years.
00:14:33I ain't never seen a stunt like that.
00:14:35There's nothing to it, really.
00:14:37Did you hear that?
00:14:38Guy's the eighth wonder of the world and he says there's nothing to it.
00:14:41So, where you from again?
00:14:43Bajor.
00:14:44That's in Jersey, right?
00:14:47Right.
00:14:49Max, Max... another round for my friend here.
00:14:55Turns out Frankie Eyes was sent to Vegas by a man named Carl Zeemo.
00:15:01Huh. Looks like Frankie's moving up in the world.
00:15:05You know Mr. Zeemo?
00:15:07Been around forever.
00:15:08Likes to pretend he's a sweet old man but he's meaner than a junkyard dog.
00:15:14This is all starting to make sense.
00:15:16I knew Frankie didn't have the money to buy a hotel.
00:15:19But Zeemo does.
00:15:20More than enough.
00:15:22This is going to be a pretty sweet deal for him.
00:15:24The casino's bringing in about a million bucks a month-- cash-- and out of that, Zeemo expects to be sent a couple hundred grand.
00:15:35That would be the "skim."
00:15:37Right off the top. Tax free.
00:15:40Frankie's got nothing to worry about.
00:15:41All he's got to do is send Mr. Zeemo his cut.
00:15:43KIRA: According to Frankie
00:15:45Mr. Zeemo's coming into town in about six days to pick up his first payment.
00:15:48He's never been to Vegas and he wants to look over his newest acquisition.
00:15:52What would happen to Frankie if, uh, he didn't give Zeemo his "skim"?
00:15:57( chuckles )
00:15:58No, Frankie's not that dumb.
00:16:01Miles, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
00:16:04Well, it depends on what you're thinking.
00:16:05All we have to do is see to it that Mr. Zeemo doesn't see a penny of that money.
00:16:10Are you talking about robbing the casino?
00:16:12That's what I was thinking.
00:16:14Isn't it dangerous?
00:16:15Stealing from the mob? You bet it is.
00:16:18You get caught, and I kiss the world good-bye.
00:16:21Well, then the trick is not to get caught.
00:16:24You guys are nuts, you know that?
00:16:27Besides, the money's kept in a safe.
00:16:29What kind of safe?
00:16:31I don't know-- it's in the count room.
00:16:33And there's a guard outside the door 24 hours a day.
00:16:36And even if you did get past him there's still that little problem of the two count men inside.
00:16:41I'll get a look at the safe.
00:16:43We'll figure out a way to take out the guard.
00:16:45And the count men.
00:16:47And anything else that comes along.
00:16:48Then we're agreed?
00:16:49BASHIR: Absolutely.
00:16:50I'm in. Me, too.
00:16:52Sure.
00:16:53Okay.
00:16:54Let's do it!
00:16:55Wait a minute.
00:16:57Let me get this straight.
00:16:58You're going to knock over the casino and swipe a cool million from the mob?
00:17:03Vic... you want your lounge back or not?
00:17:11Deal me in.
00:17:24Have you ever seen a prettier shade of green?
00:17:26Looks like you had a profitable night.
00:17:30And the night's not over.
00:17:33Is that for me or, uh... am I just keeping it warm for you?
00:17:39It's all yours, baby and there's more where that came from.
00:17:42I'll, uh, take your word for it.
00:17:45What are you looking at?!
00:17:47Nothing.
00:17:48Just keep counting.
00:17:53After you, sweetheart.
00:18:08Are you sure you didn't go to high school in Asheville
00:18:11North Carolina?
00:18:12Yeah. I'm positive.
00:18:14That's funny.
00:18:16You look just like the captain of our football team.
00:18:18I had such a crush on him.
00:18:23Well, um, actually, I, um...
00:18:26I did play a little football.
00:18:27I knew it.
00:18:28You have the body of an athlete.
00:18:35You call this a cheese-steak?
00:18:36Hmm?
00:18:38I wouldn't feed this to my parole officer.
00:18:40Excuse me, uh, Cicci... uh, could I have a word with you?
00:18:43Just a second, please.
00:18:45Now, I want a real cheese-steak and I don't care if you gotta fly to Philadelphia to get it.
00:18:55A guy could starve to death in this town.
00:18:57Ezri... this is Tony Cicci.
00:19:00Nice to meet you.
00:19:01Oh... pleasure's all mine.
00:19:05Ezri's new in town.
00:19:07She needs a job.
00:19:09I'm a very good waitress.
00:19:11Aah... you wouldn't happen to have a slice of pizza on you, would you?
00:19:15No, but... I could go to the kitchen and get you one.
00:19:17Aah! That chef wouldn't know a good pizza if it hit him right in the face.
00:19:25Consider yourself gainfully employed.
00:19:27Really?
00:19:29That's wonderful.
00:19:31Thanks, Cicci. I owe you one.
00:19:32Ah, don't mention it, Stretch.
00:19:33Maybe one of these days, you'll show me that, uh...
00:19:40I don't believe it.
00:19:43Take it-- Take it easy, pally.
00:19:44Take it easy!
00:19:46I'm not looking for trouble.
00:19:47Well, that's a relief.
00:19:48I'm here to see Frankie.
00:19:50I want to try to work things out with him.
00:19:52You know, let bygones be bygones.
00:19:56VIC: Frankie, I'm dying here.
00:19:59The Sands, the Dunes, the D.I.-- no one will even return my call.
00:20:03Tell me something I don't know.
00:20:05There's got to be a way for us to bury the hatchet.
00:20:08I already did... in your head.
00:20:11Frankie, you want me to beg, I'll beg.
00:20:14Give me a chance to make things right.
00:20:16I know people-- people with dough, high rollers.
00:20:19I could bring them into the casino.
00:20:22What?
00:20:23You want to be my shill?
00:20:25I'm talking about people who can drop ten, 20, 30 big ones a night.
00:20:29Give him what he wants, Frankie.
00:20:30I can't take much more of his whining.
00:20:34Bring in a couple of players... then we'll talk.
00:20:36That's all I ask.
00:20:38Let me buy you a drink.
00:20:40I don't drink with losers.
00:20:42Come on, dollface... let's, uh, warm up the poker table.
00:20:52Welcome back.
00:20:58You're in charge of what?
00:20:59Of distracting the guard so that we can sneak someone into the count room.
00:21:03Kasidy, I can't believe you're involved in this thing.
00:21:05The whole thing is ridiculous.
00:21:07I guess that means you're not going to wish me luck.
00:21:09And you're telling me that virtually my entire senior staff is a part of this nonsense.
00:21:14You're supposed to help your friends when they're in trouble and Vic, hologram or not, is in trouble.
00:21:19Not that I expect you to care.
00:21:20Look, this is not about Vic Fontaine.
00:21:22Then what is your problem?
00:21:24You want to know?
00:21:26You really want to know what my problem is?
00:21:28I'll tell you: Las Vegas, 1962.
00:21:30That's my problem.
00:21:32In 1962, black people weren't very welcome there.
00:21:35Oh, sure, they could be performers or janitors but customers-- never.
00:21:39Maybe that's the way it was in the real Vegas but that is not the way it is at Vic's.
00:21:43I have never felt uncomfortable there and neither has Jake.
00:21:47But don't you see?
00:21:48That's the lie.
00:21:50In 1962, the Civil Rights Movement was still in its infancy.
00:21:53It wasn't an easy time for our people and I'm not going to pretend that it was.
00:21:58Baby...
00:22:01I know that Vic's isn't a totally accurate representation of the way things were, but it isn't meant to be.
00:22:09It shows us the way things could have been.
00:22:12The way they should have been.
00:22:14We cannot ignore the truth about the past.
00:22:16Going to Vic's isn't going to make us forget who we are or where we came from.
00:22:21What it does is reminds us that we are no longer bound by any limitations... except the ones we impose on ourselves.
00:22:41What about Worf?
00:22:42KIRA: Oh, he'll never agree to it.
00:22:44There's always Quark.
00:22:46I'm not sure he'd help.
00:22:47He thinks of you as his competition.
00:22:50( knocking at door )
00:22:51I'll get it.
00:22:52Better get this out of sight.
00:22:58EZRI: There's one little problem.
00:23:01We're still one man short.
00:23:02BASHIR: We need a high roller with Vic at the craps table.
00:23:05Someone to gather a crowd keep attention away from the count room.
00:23:08Otherwise, the whole plan falls apart.
00:23:11And we certainly can't let that happen.
00:23:13Now... exactly what do you need me to do?
00:23:21Let's go over it one more time.
00:23:22Do we have to?
00:23:24Everyone knows what they have to do, right?
00:23:26It's all pretty simple, really.
00:23:28Hey, far be it from me to tell Starfleet officers how to do their jobs.
00:23:33Well, robbing casinos isn't part of any Starfleet job description I've ever read.
00:23:38We can't afford to make any mistakes.
00:23:39And we're not going to.
00:23:41Take us through it again.
00:23:42You got it, pally.
00:23:48It all begins with you
00:23:50keeping Frankie Eyes away from the casino
00:23:52and the count room.
00:24:00Meanwhile, the Captain and I
00:24:02will be laying down some heavy bread
00:24:04over at the craps table-- enough to draw a crowd.
00:24:07SISKO: Where are we going to get that kind of money?
00:24:10VIC: I put a little away for a rainy day.
00:24:13Now, each night at precisely 11:45...
00:24:17SISKO: Al, one of the count men, takes a break to call home.
00:24:20He never varies his routine.
00:24:22He's gone for eight minutes every night.
00:24:25VIC: During those eight minutes, Howard, the other count man
00:24:29has a martini brought in.
00:24:30EZRI: That's where I come in
00:24:32but first, I make a stop at poker table three
00:24:35where I hand a drink to Julian.
00:24:36BASHIR: And I slip a few drops
00:24:38of ipecac into Howard's.
00:24:44EZRI: After which
00:24:46I continue on to the count room.
00:25:08I set the tray down and leave.
00:25:12VIC: Once Ezri's out of the count room...
00:25:14KASIDY: I go running up to the guard
00:25:16and tell him Chief O'Brien has stolen my chips.
00:25:21VIC: Do whatever you need to do to keep him distracted
00:25:23and don't be afraid to turn on the waterworks.
00:25:26And, Chief, you play innocent.
00:25:28O'BRIEN: I am innocent.
00:25:30I've never seen this woman before in my life.
00:25:32VIC: That's the ticket.
00:25:33Now, remember, the two of you
00:25:35have to keep that guard away from the door
00:25:37for at least two minutes.
00:25:39BASHIR: Once he takes a sip of his drink
00:25:41Howard will come flying out of that count room at warp speed.
00:25:45NOG: Which is where I come in.
00:25:49VIC: You and those fabulous Ferengi ears of yours.
00:25:59NOG: And once I've opened the safe...
00:26:01ODO: You'll need someplace to put all that money.
00:26:05VIC: You're going to be surprised
00:26:07how much a million bucks weighs.
00:26:09ODO: I think I can handle it.
00:26:14VIC: When you walk into the casino, don't talk to anyone.
00:26:17Don't even look at anyone, and whatever you do, don't run.
00:26:21Just head for the exit
00:26:23and dump the cash in the garbage cans outside.
00:26:26With no money, there's no skim for Mr. Zeemo
00:26:28and old Frankie becomes yesterday's news.
00:26:31BASHIR: Then everything returns to normal and we pop open the champagne.
00:26:35Music to my ears, pally.
00:26:37Eight minutes.
00:26:39That's how long we have to get into the count room open the safe, grab the money, and then get out again.
00:26:44I bet we do it in five.
00:26:46When do we pull off the caper?
00:26:48The sooner the better.
00:26:49Zeemo's due in two days.
00:26:51Then we have no choice.
00:26:52We go tomorrow night.
00:26:54( chuckling ): Hey.
00:26:55Crazy.
00:27:08That was fast.
00:27:10It has to be.
00:27:21Two minutes, 14 seconds.
00:27:22I've got to do a lot better than that.
00:27:24Right.
00:27:33Go.
00:27:45( Sisko chuckles )
00:27:53Better finish getting dressed.
00:27:55It's almost time.
00:28:21I'm telling you, Morn something's going on in Vic's that we don't know about.
00:28:45Looking good as usual, dollface.
00:28:47I'm glad you like what you see.
00:28:50Only wish I could see more.
00:28:52Well, you know what they say.
00:28:54"Good things come to those who wait."
00:28:57Who are "they" and how much of you have they seen?
00:29:00I never kiss and tell.
00:29:01I bet you don't.
00:29:02Whoo! 19!
00:29:04Let's see if you can beat that.
00:29:0723. You're busted.
00:29:09( chuckling )
00:29:27A vodka martini.
00:29:28Stirred, not shaken.
00:29:31Right away, sir.
00:29:33The winner is 17 black.
00:29:39SISKO: 10,000.
00:29:40CROUPIER: Good luck, sir.
00:29:41We're coming out.
00:29:42Make your bets. Here they come.
00:29:43C&E. High- low bets.
00:29:47$100?
00:29:49Too much?
00:29:50You're supposed to be a high roller so start rolling.
00:29:53Make it, uh, 2,000.
00:29:55( growling )
00:29:562,000.
00:29:57What do you say we blow some of my money at the crap tables?
00:30:00Maybe later.
00:30:02Right now, I want you to buy me a drink.
00:30:04We can play footsies under the table.
00:30:07"Footsies"? I guess that's a start.
00:30:22We have lift-off.
00:30:37Oh! I'm so sorry!
00:30:42Don't worry about it.
00:30:48You're too kind.
00:31:00CROUPIER: Coming out, now. New shooter.
00:31:02Here's where things get interesting.
00:31:08Come on... seven!
00:31:21You're not Howard.
00:31:22He's out with the flu.
00:31:25Oh. Well, this drink must be yours, then.
00:31:28I'm not thirsty.
00:31:29But... Hey you're making me lose count.
00:31:34Sorry.
00:31:37You mind if I drink that?
00:31:39I've been on my feet for hours and I could really use a little pick-me-up.
00:31:42That's about the saddest story I ever heard.
00:31:52CROUPIER: Winner seven, twice. Shooter's on a roll.
00:31:55Make your bets.
00:31:57Let it ride.
00:31:58We're coming out.
00:31:59Let it ride, let it ride.
00:32:00CROUPIER: He's got a hand going.
00:32:03Ten dollars on the 11.
00:32:14You have to help me.
00:32:16That man, that man right there-- he stole a stack of my chips.
00:32:18Hey, you! Stop right there!
00:32:20Who, me?
00:32:23The lady says you stole her chips.
00:32:24I did no such thing.
00:32:26Liar!
00:32:27I'm telling you he took them.
00:32:29You're a thief.
00:32:30You're drunk.
00:32:31I am not! Hey, hey.
00:32:32Let's just calm down here, okay?
00:32:34KASIDY: Not until I get my money!
00:32:35O'BRIEN: What money?
00:32:37KASIDY: The money you stole!
00:32:39O'BRIEN: I told you, I never touched your money!
00:32:40KASIDY: Liar!
00:32:42( gagging )
00:32:52( gurgling rustle )
00:32:56Uh-oh.
00:32:59What do you mean, "uh-oh"?
00:33:01We don't have time for "uh-oh."
00:33:02The safe-- it has an auto-relock tumbler.
00:33:05Kira didn't mention anything about an auto-relock tumbler.
00:33:08Well, she obviously didn't know about it.
00:33:10I'm not going to have enough time.
00:33:12Keep working.
00:33:17This is the hand that shook the hand of Bugsy Siegel.
00:33:20The man that built Las Vegas.
00:33:22I'm telling you he was a visionary.
00:33:24And is there even one statue of the guy in this town?
00:33:28There's no justice.
00:33:30You can say that again.
00:33:34Sure you don't want to play the tables for awhile?
00:33:36I'm perfectly content right here.
00:33:39Well, who am I to argue with a lady?
00:33:46What are you standing around for? Arrest him.
00:33:48I told you he took $200 worth of chips from me.
00:33:51Well, how come I only got five bucks on me?
00:33:52Don't believe him.
00:33:53I'm telling you, this broad ain't playing with a full deck.
00:33:56KASIDY: And just what is that supposed to mean?
00:33:58O'BRIEN: What do you think it means?
00:34:00( cheering and yelling )
00:34:01Beginner's luck.
00:34:02For the dealer!
00:34:06Six minutes.
00:34:08I wonder what's taking them so long?
00:34:13I got to go.
00:34:14I'm running late.
00:34:15This Frankie Eyes...
00:34:22( grunting in frustration )
00:34:31You in some kind of hurry?
00:34:34Me?
00:34:36You keep staring at that watch.
00:34:38Really? I hadn't noticed.
00:34:40And your drink.
00:34:41You haven't touched it.
00:34:42Oh, well, the night is young.
00:34:44I've got to pace myself.
00:34:45Pace yourself?
00:34:46For what? Frankie there's someone here to see you.
00:34:50I'm busy.
00:34:51MAN: You don't look busy.
00:34:56Mr. Zeemo.
00:34:58We weren't expecting you until tomorrow.
00:35:00I'm early. Any problem with that?
00:35:03No, not at all.
00:35:04Sit down. Have a drink.
00:35:06We'll have a drink later.
00:35:07Where's the, uh... where's the count room?
00:35:11Follow me.
00:35:13Mr. Zeemo?
00:35:18It's a great honor to meet you.
00:35:21I know.
00:35:24Frankie has told me so much about you.
00:35:28Frankie.
00:35:30Yeah?
00:35:31The money, Frankie.
00:35:33Right this way.
00:35:35Let's go. Come on.
00:35:41Nog, it's been eight minutes.
00:35:44We're running out of time.
00:35:59( handle rattles )
00:36:00( frustrated growl )
00:36:05Yeah?
00:36:06Okay. Yeah, sure.
00:36:15I fold.
00:36:18Excuse me.
00:36:19Your name's Al, right?
00:36:20Who wants to know?
00:36:21Frankie Eyes.
00:36:22Frankie Eyes?
00:36:23He's waiting for you.
00:36:24Out back.
00:36:26For what? I didn't do nothing.
00:36:28Then you have nothing to worry about.
00:36:43You gotta be kidding me.
00:36:44Now what?
00:36:48Zeemo.
00:36:49He's a day early.
00:36:50Keep playing. I'll try to stall him.
00:36:52Nina?
00:36:54Nina?
00:36:55Is that you?
00:36:58Who's this?
00:37:00Nobody. Hey, Vic, take a walk, huh?
00:37:02Where you been keeping yourself, baby?
00:37:05Do I know you?
00:37:06Do you know me?
00:37:08Don't you remember that week in Miami?
00:37:09You ever see what she looks like in a bikini?
00:37:12Ooh, mama mia.
00:37:14When were you in Miami?
00:37:16I don't know what he's talking about.
00:37:18Who's this, your grandpa?
00:37:20Frankie.
00:37:22Cicci.
00:37:23Now you done it.
00:37:25Bury him.
00:37:26So long, sucker.
00:37:28Frankie
00:37:30I'm waiting for the money! Right this way.
00:37:31Tonight everybody's a winner!
00:37:52( handle rattles )
00:38:06What's this? What's going on?
00:38:07( squealing and laughing )
00:38:16( clicking )
00:38:18( chuckles )
00:38:21Piece of cake.
00:38:32Can I go now?
00:38:34You aren't going anywhere.
00:38:36Don't let him leave.
00:38:38Charlie.
00:38:40Over here.
00:38:46Take this, uh, gentleman to security.
00:38:49But I wanted you to handle this.
00:38:51I'm afraid I can't leave my post. Charlie, strip search.
00:38:55Strip search?!
00:39:01Uh...
00:39:02( sobbing )
00:39:05There, there.
00:39:06It's not worth all that.
00:39:07KASIDY: I needed that money t-to buy a gift for my mother.
00:39:24Funny way to run a casino.
00:39:27What are you waiting for, Frankie?
00:39:29Why don't you show Mr. Zeemo the count room?
00:39:31Well, you heard the lady.
00:39:33I'm telling you, Mr. Zeemo buying this casino was the smartest move you ever made.
00:39:38We're making money hand over fist.
00:39:40I just hope you brought a big enough briefcase.
00:39:46Where's my money?
00:39:48Huh?!
00:39:54( sultry striptease music playing )
00:40:42Now, that's more like it.
00:40:47ODO: Say good-bye to Frankie Eyes.
00:40:49KIRA: You can tell your friend Felix that we shut the lid on his jack-in-the-box.
00:40:53With pleasure.
00:40:54Ladies and gentlemen the bubbly is on me.
00:40:57BASHIR: Thanks, Vic.
00:40:58ODO: Hear, hear.
00:41:00Where have you been?
00:41:01I don't want to talk about it.
00:41:08Next time you two fight the battle of the Alamo count me in.
00:41:12Coonskin cap and all.
00:41:13You've got it, pally.
00:41:15To the best friends a hologram ever had.
00:41:18BASHIR: Hear, hear.
00:41:19O'BRIEN: Cheers. I owe you-- big time.
00:41:21BASHIR: Cheers, Vic.
00:41:22EZRI: Cheers.
00:41:27Okay, fellas let's do it.
