You know, I do a shit load of
reading and studying and praying

and I've come to a few
conclusions I wanna share.

People look at politicians
and celebrities on the TV and

the newspapers... glossy
magazines, what do they see?

"I am just like them."
That's what they say.

"I'm special. I'm different.
I can be anyone of them."

Well, guess what? You can't!

You know why? Cause in reality,
mediocrity's where most people lived.

Mediocrity is the elephant
of the room. Ubiquitous!

Mediocrity's in your schools, it's
in your dreams, it's in your family.

Those of us who knows this,
those of us who understand

the disease of the dull,
we do something about it.

We do more because we have to. The
deck was always stack against us.

You're either a big
leader or you're a slave

clawing your way onto the sea train.

Some people said Jack Abramoff moved
too fast, Jack Abramoff cuts corner.

Well, I said to them,
if that's the difference

between me and my
family having a good life

and walking the news in the
subway everyday... then so be it.

I'll not allowed my family to be slaves.

I will not allowed the world
I touched to be vanilla.

You said I'm selfish, fuck you!
I gave back, I gave back plenty.

You said I've got a
big ego? Fuck you twice!

I'm humbly grateful, for the
wonderful gifts that I received

here in America... the
greatest country on this planet.

I'm Jack Abramoff, and oh
yeah, I worked out every day.

Mr. Sprague? Susan Schmidt
of the Washington Post.

-Find it alright?
-Yeah, thanks for seeing me.

I've got a lot of questions for you.

-Jack Abramoff, right?
-I hear he was charging

the tribe an exorbitant fees.

-30 million or more.
-So, I guess you've met

his partner Mike Scanlon too?

Oh yeah, he's a real cowboy.

Looks like they might
be in some troubles.

-Jack?
-Honey!

-Jack?!
-Dad... -Mikey.

Hey, I've been calling
you all day, dude.

-Where are you?
-I'm in L.A.

What the fuck are you doing in
L.A.? Our world's collapsing here.

Wait! What have you heard?
Are you going to be indicted?

Like a federal marshall
is looking for me, okay.

-I had a hundred media calls today.
-We're under horrific assault from the

-workforce, that isn't our culture.
-I know... I know,

Hey, you're the only one
that returned my call.

The president probably destroying
every picture he ever took with you.

Well, you're no one in this
town until you've met us.

That isn't funny, Jack.

Don't fucking mess with my qi here.

I'm serious. We're
super fuck here, okay.

They're calling us the
new Watergate, Jack!

We're about to be on the nightly news.

Step up to the line.

Dear Mr. President, I write you
this petition with hope and prayers.

As a man of faith, I've come to
see God moves in mysterious way.

After we're born, he gave
us the choice of two paths.

-Please don't smile.
-I am not smiling.

Accept the world the way it is.

Or see it for how we
might want it to be.

I need a right.

Right.

To me, the choice was obvious.

How long you'll be holding me here?

You can get that
information from your lawyer.

I do get my own cell, right?

I only eat kosher, okay.
You do serve kosher!?

Mr. Abramoff, this is a federal
holding facility. It is not kosher.

Jack Abramoff.

Snake.

What are you in for, Snake?

Assault and battery, resisting
arrest... chicken shit

... things like that. How about you?

Oh me? I work in D.C.

-I am a lobbyist.
-Lobbyist. That against the law?

Lobbyists
- Noun

1. A person who tries to influence

legislation on behalf
of a special interest.

2. A person who tries
to influence public

officials to take a desired action.

Two Years Earlier...

Next to God, faith and country,

nothing's more important than influence.

Political influence.

Influences with the powerful
is like the influence with God.

Without it, there's only
eternal hellfire, damnation

and congressional log jam.

Here, the influence we wield is more
important than the air you breathe.

As a licensed lobbyist
I'm legally allowed

to accept money from special interests

in order to influence
Congress on their behalf.

I'm essentially a conduit to
motivating sleepy lawmakers

into getting bills passed
and legislations done.

He's extremely anxious to
knows what's in your bills.

The reality is, without
lobbyists the wheels of WA

would come to a grinding halt.

How much do you looking
to requisite about?

Can you tell me that in dollars term?

Why? Because the most
powerful Members of Congress

relied on lobbyists like me

for information to
guide them on how to vote

and how they vote sometimes required

taking them on facts finding mission.

Like House Majority leader
Tom Delay we brought to the

Northern Mariana islands
in the South Pacific.

A U.S. territory,
where my textile clients

produced American-made designer clothes

without having to pay minimum wage.

Well, these folks seems
happy. How are you?

-I felt good,
thank you. -Uh-huh.

We should be able to vote
favorably on this, Jack.

For example, your top
of the line stone-wash

jeans can stay on sale for $19.95-

Simply because labor costs
in the Marianas remained low.

Jack's pushing Mr. Delay hard
to make sure the minimum wage

legislation stay off
Congresses shecdule.

Hey, you troglodytes, will you
make sure that Delay gets the latest

export numbers from Willy in case
the Senate tries to kill this thing.

Oui, mon capitan!

Lobbying is nothing more than
American style democracy in action.

And the more influences we have-

the bigger the smile on our kid's faces.

Good morning, gentlemen. Grover,
what brings you to locker room?

Don't even bother trying to
pitch him on our new client,

he has issues with helping
our native's people.

Just with natives American, Jack.

What do they have to do
with American for tax reform?

I need your help on this one, Grover.

I need the Congressional
friends in your organization

to understand there are certain
American Indian tribes that need help.

Jack, United States from day
one was founded on the basis

that you could be or
do anything you want to.

You're in charge of your own future.

There is no ceiling, there is no floor-

You want to be a bum, you can be a bum.

You want to accomplish great
things, you can do that too.

So, natives American chose to
live in third world conditions,

why is that my problem, huh?

-Are those pistachios?
-Yeah, genuis.

Listen, this is perfect for you,
Grover. It is philanthropic. I mean-

The money we're saving
them is essentially

paying for their health
clinics and schools.

-Help them help themselves.
-Yeah, come on!

There's no one on the stand
as persuasive as you are.

-You are a Harvard man, dude.
-Yeah... yeah!

The man with the crimson tongue.

Grover, all we are
trying to do is help these

people empowered themselves.

Jack, I've known you for 25 years.

Why do I think your social
gravitates is more than just about

health connections-schools?

-Veuve Clicquot, sir?
-Thank you.

You're welcome.

-Ice tea?
-Thank you.

-Merlot with three ice cubes.
-Thank you.

Seriously, I think I once got a
lap dance from her on "Nexus Gold."

-I wouldn't know, Mikey. I'm married.
-I thought I recognized her too, si.

I liked the good lord would
prefer I have deaf ear on this one.

-We all set?
-Check! 18 holes,

St. Andrews, 5 stars hotel.

Hugh Fraser, the British
Open champion on hand

to give a lesson lolly fucking doll.

Restaurants tour in Edinburgh,

two days stopover at the
Hyde Park Oriental in London.

Oh... VIP tickets to
The Lion King for Tom.

Nice soft grip, soft hand.
Take a whack at her. Come on.

Great shot!

Great! Now I gotta sandbag my drive
so Ponchos doesn't spew on his shoes.

Ponchos been prime to arrange that
he got his picture taken with Bush.

Three years ago, his tribe is weaving
pine needles and selling key chains.

Now he must be able to drive a
Hummer and buy condos in Hawaii.

You tell me why these clowns get to

own casinos and made 20 millions a year?

Well, I don't know? Maybe
300 years of genocide,

that's not good enough
reason for you, champ?

-Are you part Mohawk now?
-Yes indeed, Kimosabe!

-One of the lost tribes of Israel.
-Yep yep. You tried to play Indian.

-No wonder they liked you so much.
-Background talking crowd.

You know what blows my mind?
All these Indians are so

damn rich and still acting
like Wal-mart shoppers.

He is a multi-millionaire,
Jack, with a $10 watch.

Listen, if you and I could
accessed some of that liquid,

-we would be running D.C. in no time.
-What are you suggesting?

I'm suggesting that they pay us a
ridiculous amount of money, okay.

And then, you and I can split
the fees 50-50 under the table.

It's a little tough on the
Chippewa, not to mention is it legal?

What are they gonna do? Cancel
my membership at the ACLU?

You know, I've got a
limit on what I can charge.

Shucks for you but I'm freelance, Jack!

I'm grass root, baby. You're always
complaining about living hand to mouth

You know what? You deserve better.

And Chief Shack-a-lot there, is
our ticket out of our leady health.

-That's it, chief.
-Okay, put together a pitch for Tonto,

-let's see what he says.
-It looks good.

Now chief, it's a simple thing.

Look, I've handled the Coushattas,
the Tiguas, the Aguas, Caliente's...

and I tell them all
the same thing, chief.

I know what it feels like
to be a persecuted minority.

Yeah, well it's about
time you guys in Washington

finally did something
good for Indian people.

Like give America back?

You've got a real sense of
humor, Jack. I like that.

Look! The casinos are a
plus if it's profitable.

But in reality the gaming
industry is very competitive.

You know, the Jena tribe, they want
to open up their own casino now.

-They're just one state away.
-Yeah, I know those guys.

They can be brutal.

They can shut you down mega
fast. No more Chippewa casinos.

You need our help, chief.

-You heard Mike's proposal?
-It's a tough call.

It's a hell of a fees you're asking for.

-Kind of a record, isn't it?
-But think of the billions

that you're gonna saved.

I can guaranteed you that goddamn
Jena tribe casino will never opens.

And before you know it, the Jena
tribe gonna be back selling moccasins.

You know, Mr. Abramoff, we
can't afford to lose this one.

You won't. Swear to God!

Give me five!

I told you, team Abramoff!

-Team Abramoff!
-To giving America back to the Indians

All hail to Washington

-biggest retainer.
-Fucking A!

You're no one in this town, if you
haven't met Jack fucking A Abramoff.

-Take it easy, Bill.

Jack, you know I
believe my fiance Emily,

-everybody from the Bush's inaugural.
-I'll never forget that night.

McCain was in his office
pounding Bush bills: "We lost!"

It's very sincere moderate
believe from every voters.

Amen to that!

Hey, Jack. Those Polynesian
factories you wrapped

to make the blue jeans
on the Mariana Islands...

-Yeah, what about them?
-Words on the streets,

is they're goddamn sweat
shops and rape camps.

Oh, all you guys from the
Washington Post wants to be

Woodward Bernstein. Fucking pathetic.

That's so? The Labour
department just fined your client

$9 million dollars.
Must be for something.

Hey listen, bad breath. The mistakes
will happen but the truth is you can't

tell me those immigrants are making
more money than they would in China

-sending it back to their families.
-That's right,

we are greasing the wheels
with American dollars, baby.

-Capitalism at its finest.
-Doing the Lord's works.

Dosen't sound much like
American democracy to me.

Don't be stupid. No democracy,

no fucking capitalism. No
capitalism, no fucking democrary.

Chrissy only goddamn communistist
slave-driven Bolshevism.

-Thank you, Joe McCarthy.
-Fucking elitist.

-What?
-What's wrong with you? Calm down.

Someone called 911.
Scott is a hemophialic.

You just hit a hemophialic reporter
from the Washington Post. Come on!

-Grey another bleeding liberal.
-It's okay. It's fine.

Did you see that?

This is not good.

-Enid, get Delay for me, will you?
-Should I remind him

of Bible class Thursday afternoon?

- Bible class is Thursday?
- Yeah... Jack.

Remember I switch it
with your golf game.

Well... Enid, you know
sometimes even those of us

who occupied the oval office
can have our senior moments.

Yes, Mr. President.

Oh Jack... Mr. Rouvelas is here.

Make sure I see it
before it goes out, okay!

Manny.

-Let's grab a coffee.
-Hey listen, if it's about

the Jarrell incident, no worries...

I fired him yesterday.
The guy was a loose cannon.

It's not like The Post is an
important paper in this town.

-Yeah, can we saved this for later?
-Bear with me, it's important.

Alright, Manny. So, where's the fire?

We hired you because the
partners felt we needed

someone who have friends
in the Bush administration.

It's not about friends,
Manny... it's about ideas.

Then you guys on the
right used to have ideas.

But now that communism is gone,
all you think about is money.

So you invite me out for an iced
vanilla cha just to remind me

that I'm a right wing fascist, that's
kind of beneath you, isn't it Manny!?

What's beneath me... Jack, are the
clients you dragged into my shop.

Bottom feeder in the rag
trade in the Mariana Islands.

You know there's an upside
for the poor Chinese.

They get to send money back to
their families in the mainland.

And look at all the great
works we're doing for

the Choctaw, the Chippewa...

That all sounds nice
and philanthropy, Jack-

but you're buddies with the White House.

Hell, you're the reason that idiot
cinched the Republican nomination.

That because we destroyed
McCain in the South.

Bush still owes you.

Why not used that? Aim a little
higher when bringing in clients.

-Such as? -Such as..
Fortune 500-company or two.

You mean rich, white people?

Listen, I've got a situation
in Florida with a client...

a very important client.

With your background in gaming,
might help us still handled it.

-So... Indians?
-No, Greeks.

A guy in Florida named Gus Boulis...

Bankruptcy is just
the tip of the iceberg.

He needs a buyer. Fast.

It's a very lucrative casino op.

Anybody who can afford to
get in on it will get rich.

Anyway Manny said you had some
clients who might be interested

under the circumstances.

Yeah okay, Art. I will look into it.

-Have you done all your things yet?
-Hmm!

Well, come to bed. The
kids are asleep. It's late.

What? What are you thinking?

About us.

Seems like only yesterday
we were kicking out

with the college Republicans.

Remember that time you
brought Pavarotti for Brandeis?

-Nobody thought you could pull it off.
-All them lefty listening to the Clash

-Hey, I like Joe Strummer.
-Hmmm, maybe I should have asked

him to a duet with Pavarotti.
That would have been something.

I still love your dorkiness, hon.

Always thinking out of the box.

"Adrian... nobody ever went
the distance for Creed."

"If they rings the bell, and I'm still standing
-"

"I know I weren't just another
bum from the neighbourhood."

Come to bed.

So this Gus Boulis,
comes down from Canada-

opened up a chain of
sandwich shops in Miami.

Then he cashes out and he
goes into the cruise business,

buy a fleet full of yatchs,

so pull the strings and turned
them into floating casinos,

runs out of 9 ports. Tourists,
retirees some high rollers they called

the cruise to nowhere.
But there's this...

Florida attorney general who's
got a hard on for gamblers

looking for a technicality
to nail this guy.

Problem is, Boulis isn't a US citizen-

which turned out to be a violation
of the shipping acts 1916.

And then, this idiot gets sloppy
about how he runs the casinos,

you know, he plays fast
and loose with the best,

he think he's still fooling
around with the cold guards.

-Blackjack, house wins.
-The customers start complained,

pretty soon, Boulis is catching
heavy grief with his gambling license.

The gist of it's, the Feds are forced
him to sell. He got months to diverse

-which gives me a window.
-Gives you a window?

What, are you serious?

No, we're serious.

145 million? How're
we going to swing it?

We're gonna used our most
powerful resource, Mikey.

-My imagination.
-Well, you'd better imagine

we're as rich as the Chippewas then.

So, what do you think of Sunsail?
How do you think we should handled it?

We need a frontman, you
know. Someone strong enough to

run a business but not so
strong we can't control him.

He's to have his own money, so he
can invest, keep him loyal... honest.

Do you know anybody like that?

"Kwikee Mattress." The
last "s" is for saving.

The lowest prices in greater
Bethesda. Plus same-day delivery.

The principles of the Republican
Party's more closely parallel

the moral vision of the God
of Abraham than anyone else.

So the question: Does God
want people to be... liquid?

The answer is yes. The answer is yes.

Prosperity enable us
to do the right thing.

To be able help our fellow man.
To be steward of civilization.

In biblical times, taxes
never rose above 20 percent,

which is a lesson we could learn today.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Republican
Party lights the way for America

and may I say, the rest of the globe.

-Ralph.
-Brilliant stuff.

- Thanks for coming.
- Inspirational, Jack.

-Thanks, Congressman.
-Jack...

-Grov...
-We need to talk.

Sure thing, Grover.

"Steward of civilization"?
Beautiful words, Jack.

Well, I only take my cue from
the most powerful men in Congress.

You remember Reverend Mueller from
my own district in Texas, don't you?

Please to see you again, Mr.
Abramoff. You know, it's refreshing

to see both Jews and
Christians working together...

-... to make this a better world.
-I'm inspired, reverend.

-Karl.
-Nice to see you, Jack.

The President asked me to
tell you to come by soon.

He needs a little help
with his golf swing.

Happy to.

Thanks, Karl. Senator. My clients 've
a substantial check for your campaign.

Why, I can't thank you enough, Jack.

We're really lucky to have you.

Hey hey hey! Slow down, you monkeys.

Here, be careful with
that. See you in the car.

Watch your brother, okay... honey.

-What do you think of my talk?
-Well, except for

the part where God wants
us to be financially liquid,

-it sounded weird.
-I meant abundance.

It means power.

Remember Exodus 32 the golden calf that

-worshipped false idols?
-Hold the horse,

she's quoting scriptures
to me. Why... Pam Abramoff,

when we met you were
reading Cosmo magazine,

mispronouncing all them Yiddish word.

Kvetch. Schlemiel. I think
I'm getting the hang of it.

-Jack, nice speech.
-Hey Adam. Thanks for showing up.

Wow! You've gone for
the whole Jew package.

I thought it made me look
more like Don Corleone.

More like Fiddler on the Roof.

Hey, don't knock Fiddler on the Roof.

It was transformational for
me when I was a teenager.

-Maybe you want to be a milkman?
-No, maybe I wanna be a real jew.

Good-looking family you
have. Big family you have.

Pam, you remember Adam from
the college Republicans?

-Hello!
-You've done an excellent job

raising the isis. I'm single
again. Swinging bachelor I guess.

Good luck with that.
Listen, we need to talk.

You swing by my house on
Sunday. We'll have dinner.

You mean like, a kind of date?

What business could you
possibly have with man like that?

Honey, he's got a law
degree from Brooklyn college.

He looks like a defendant on Judge Judy.

Have a little compassion. He's a
partner in a casino in Saint Martin.

He is a respectable guy who knows a
lot, could be a very useful partner.

Useful for what?

"In five years, our family
will be completely legitimate."

Would you please stop
it? Facts quoting...

movies all the times, it's irritating.

Come on, honey. You know, I love the
movie. And I'm a Hollywood producer.

You produced two Dolph
Lundgren movies piece, okay.

-You work in Washington now.
-Okay.

Washington is Hollywood with ugly faces.

I'm serious, Jack. He makes me nervous.

And another thing. How is it, that
we're late with the mortgage payment?

We are okay, ain't we?

Oh yeah! No... this just
must be some accounting thing.

I'll look into it tomorrow.

Don't worry. Put this on my desk.

I'm watching you walk away.

Still watching you walked away.

Walk away some more.

Everybody wins.

As we all know, gaming industries
is blown out across America.

This phenomenon has given great
fortune not only to our tribe,

to our people in general-

But now, we risk losing everything to

the competition over our
neighbouring tribes. The point is...

We need help from Washington.
And we need help now.

As I've said in my written statement,

Mr. Abramoff here has my full support

in recommending that he have only the
best interest of our casino at heart.

Mr. Abramoff, I have read your proposal.

I see you want one million dollars
just as a retainer to start.

Oh, you're asking for the best,
Mr. Sprague. We're the best.

We can get it done.

You want to kick some ass
on the hill, we can do it.

"Let's kick some ass."

That was Dolph Lundgren
not Schwarzenegger

in case you were confused.

Alright look, here's my
advice. It's free today.

You fellows hire Michael
Scanlon of Capitol Strategies

and Ralph Reed here as
some of you may know,

at one time is the very famous right
hand of the Reverend Pat Robertson.

He can organize some
high wattage Christian

opposition to this proposed
casino by the Jena tribe

and do to them, what we did to
McCain in 2000: Wipe them out.

You want 30 million dollars
in fees over three years.

I could be president myself for that.

-It's just too much money.
-The money is worth it.

Jack lobbies for us in
Washington. He can help...

make us one of the most
powerful tribes in the region.

Our people need more healthcare.
We need more education.

Not influence.

Mr. Sprague, you may not think
you need influence in Washington,

but I'm telling you to have direct
access to members of Congress,

is gonna influence how
they vote on the very...

Aah, speak of the devil. It's the

Congressional offices
calling. It's House Majority

leader Tom Delay. Excuse
me for a moment, everyone.

-Tom, how is it going?
-Jack, am I on time?

Everything is terrific here. In
fact, I am with the Chippewa now.

Remind me not to order the
tuna from cafeteria again.

Yes sir, I will remind them of
what they are up against, sir.

And absolutely that they can
count on your full support.

Great, Jack. I'll see ya.

Hey Tom. Say hi to the President for
me. I'll call you when I get back.

I'm not bragging, when I tell
you that we can have effective

and direct access to Members
of Congress on behalf,

of Screaming Eagle Resort.

Otherwise, this beautiful
casino that you have

here is gonna shut down
tight and very quickly.

In the current climate, we're
barely breaking even now,

I said the council vote no!

Sorry, Mr. Abramoff.

I'm going to 've to agree. The council
vote at 3 o'clock today, Mr. Abramoff.

But... thanks for coming all this way.

He's seriously messing
with the qi we had flowing.

Sprague is the
sub-chief on the council?

It is an elected position.
Poncho has zero juice, okay.

What the hell is a
ceremonial chief, anyway?

Why don't we know this
is before we wasted

a hundred grand taking the gulf thing.

How the hell was I supposed to know

Poncho was the fucking Queen of England?

Sprague gotta go.

-When is the next council elections?
-You're not talking about

messing with the council
election, are you?

Because you know, you're
gonna be in contravention

of the Indian Acts of 1968, mister.

Let me tell you something.

They're fucking with our
bread and butter, Mikey.

I was gonna used that
money as a downpayment

on the Sunsail
opportunity with the Greek.

Tell me about it. I just
put a huge downpayment

on this new house I'm buying.

-What?
-The Dukebroad mansion

on Hobart beach I told
you about it. It's bad ass.

I got a lease on a suite at the Ritz
Crown with this killer pooltable.

My overhead is insane right now.

You haven't pay off your student loans.

What do you need with a
mansion and a pooltable?

-What! You are buying stuff.
-Worthwhile stuff.

Alright look, just have Grover
keep Poncho entertain and

let him tell us mega fast
when is the next election.

Hey, I was in Florida 2000, dude.
Handling chairs, state troopers.

This is gonna be a cake-walk,
alright. Tip-toe through the tulips.

Hello.

Thank you.

Be careful now, Mikey.
She's probably still into

Girl's Scout cookies with milk.

Thank you.

-Hey, baby doll.
-Hi. Oops!

-Who the hell was that girl?
-You are so cute.

She is an employee. You
gotta be nice to the help.

For a Jew, I bet you got a
lot of cold Christmas cards.

-We see our share of inactivity since.
-Hey... look at you. Macho man.

You didn't know I was a
guard at Beverly Hills High?

Once knocked a kid ice
cold out from Inglewood.

-It made the papers.
-I bet a lot of guys from

Beverly Hills went to the NFL, huh?

You know what I major
in, in High school?

Pool?

-No! Fucking.
-Really?

I have a feeling I'll
see you in that class.

Alright, so you've gone from
pool to selling mattresses...

that's quite an upgrade, Adam.

I'm a very successful
mattress businessman.

Really? Cause I hear Kwikee
Mattresses in Chapter 11.

Hey! I sold my franchise for
over 7 figures and got out.

Excellent. Because I've got
a new fantastic offer for you.

-Like what?
-Sunsail's casinos.

Off-shore gambling!? You
know who you're dealing with?

-Greenpeace?
-Trust me. I know.

And think of the fund-raising
possibilities, alright.

It is like Las Vegas on crack.

The boat goes out beyond
the 12 miles limit.

It's an all cash business.
Use your imagination, Adam.

-I got plans.
-Yeah, plans like Bugsy Malone.

No, plans like to open up
my own private Hebrew school.

Public education sucks.

You've no idea what my kid
have to deal with these day.

-Your own school?
-Yeah!

Plus there's my foundation,
all the charities work I did.

Look, I'm trying to do, importance
stuff that matters for people.

I... I don't know, Jack. It's sound like

Charlie Manson is my room-mate
for the next 10 years.

This isn't a bunch of native people.

You're dealing with sharks
here. I'm gonna say no!

But thanks for the $65
steak. It's delicious.

Adam, just go down to Florida with
my business partner, Micheal Scanlon

and you guys talk to this Gus Boulis.

You always asking me
to give you something,

"Give me something...
give me something."

Well, I'm now giving you
something, you schmucks!

I was thinking something maybe
little less hazardous to my person.

I've dealt with communists in
Nicaragua, generals in Pakistan

and I even dealt with
fucking Imelda Marcos.

Why should I be afraid of
a Greek who make sandwiches?

What's Imelda like?

She likes to play the
piano and sing show-times.

-Really.
-Yeah.

She's got a pretty decent voice.

That's all the sums
of the Thai whorehouse.

Not that you would know a Thai
whorehouse looks like, right?

Look like Boulis's into family values.
Looks like he hired the whole family.

Hey guys, I'm Chris. Gus's nephew.

Gus's running a little late. You guys
hungry? You want somethng to drink?

-No, we're fine.
-I'll have a shot of queen bols

and two Heineken.

I've told Jack to forget about this
place. It's a fucking reptile cage.

Boulis is doing mega business here.

-This blows.
-Whatever,

he's just trying to make a statement.

This is how he operate? We've
waited an hour. I don't like it.

-I'm going back to Miami.
-Whoa, whoa, hang on, Adam.

Sit down... sit down, okay.

Konstantinos Boulis. Sorry to keep you.

Hey, Mike Scanlon. Pleasure to meet you.

Adam Kidane.

Sorry, Jack couldn't be
here. He send his regards.

You have done well for yourself, Gus.

Nice piece of boat like this,
dude. You gotta be a content man.

Yeah, except for the
fucking Attorney General.

Because of him, I need to
keep in step with my sanity.

So, let's cut the crap.

You jacks planning to pay my price?

Alright look, we can give
you 20 cents from the dollar.

It's the best we can offer you.

There's no negotiation.
You pay my price, that's it!

Oh yes, I keep the ten percent
interest. I run the business.

And don't call me 'dude.'

"Are you talking to me, huh?"

"Are you talking to me? It's your move."

"You make the move, huh."

Sorry. Jack and his boys
watch too many movies.

Movies, I didn't invite you
here to listen to comedies.

What, you joke with me?
Movies? You guys... get out!

-Whoa fellas...
-Hey... you come back when

you could show my uncle some respect.

No, I'm just trying to lighten the mood.

Olag, Christos...

Come on. Who doesn't
like impression, right?!

What the fuck!?

Oh, that went well.

-Fucking idiot. Who doesn't negotiate?

I know. I'm telling you.
He's a hard ass dude.

You watch me put some hot
sauce in this fucker tabbouleh.

He is not going to
scare easy. I don't how

the hell you're gonna
get him to negotiate.

Yeah, well you know what. Tried
the Congress of United States.

Boulis will turn around.
Mikey, trust me. Hang on, Bob?

-Yeah Jack.
-Listen! I need a favor for a client.

Sure! Name it. Which
tribe we talking about?

No, not Indians. Greeks. Casino
gambling in South Florida.

I represent the 18th
District of Ohio, Jack.

It's a bit of hot potato. Can
you give me a pass on this one?

After the money I funnel
to you this year, Bob...

No, I don't think you
get a pass, alright.

I need your help, I need it now.
Michael sends you the details. Thanks.

So, here's the casino
file. Jack expect to see you

on the C-Span no later than Thursday.

-Tell him he's pushing it.
-Bob, he knows how

busy you are with the
upcoming fall elections.

In fact, if I'm not mistaken,
he is organizing a huge

fund raiser for you next Tuesday.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I'm an ardent supporter
of consumer's rights.

At the heart of my comments today

is how certain gaming
companies treats their patrons.

There're a few bad apples out
there who don't play by the rules.

And who must be... weeded... weeded out.

One such example, is the
case of Sunsails casino

and it's proprietor Gus Boulis.

Ney's the man. Ney's the man.

-What's all the noise about kids?
-Oh hey Manny, we're just working hard

-finding a buyer for your client.
-Hey good,

glad to hear it. Any life one?

Oh yeah, we're all over it, Manny.

-No shady one from the Marianas, ok.
-Absolutely!

I serve this country, and no other.

Listen, we need to give everything
we can on this Boulis, alright.

I want you to call our
friends at Fox News.

And have Delay hammer Jeb Bush
son on the Florida. No, never mind!

I'll call Delay myself.
He wants me to hook him up

with a Harvard college Republican's.

Thinks that will made
him looks good in front

of all those Ivy league monkeys.

Yeah, good luck with
that. You know what,

he was a pest exterminator
in Laredo, Texas, dude.

That's gonna be a huge
challenge in Cambridge.

Hey man, he clawed his
way up to Majority Leader,

now he's got his eyes
on the White House.

Delay? Are we talking
about the same guy?

He's an alcoholic whose famous
for rauchy party before he met God.

What the hell, dude?
What the hell was that?

Never before has an individual who's
been steadfast to our principles

risen as high as House
Majority Leader Tom Delay.

Tom Delay is the most effective,

I would say he was the most
effective whip in the House...

and I would say he's the most
effective Majority Leader and

thank God, Tom Delay is the Majority
Leader in the House of Representatives

and I would just like to
add one thing to that because

I'm sure we all want
to hear from Mr. Delay

but Tom Delay is who all of us
hope to be when we grow up, Tom...

You truly are my dearest friend.

Senator Jarvis, I have a check
for you from Choctaw Indian.

Huh, that's my easy partner, Jack.

And they want to wish you
the best for your campaign.

Congratulate and thanks
each of you for getting

involved in politic,
through young Republicans.

What you're doing is
commendable and important because

as goes poltics, so goes our country.

Grover...

Glad you're on the team.

Jack, you know how I
feel about freebies.

Poncho is the third Indian
you made me babysit this month.

There is also so much Congressmen
of American for tax reform want to be

educated about the
benefits of Indian gaming.

Grover...

Grover, how about we
fatten Poncho donations to

ATR to help you out with
your operation costs?

That be a start. I have a
hole in my budget of 75K.

Ouch.... alright, I'll
look into it, champ.

Meanwhile, where's the
fuck is your evil elf?

Mikey boy?

He was supposed to take Poncho
off my hands three hours ago.

Private Property
- No Trespassing

You guys want to see something crazy?

A million smackeroo, baby. Give me five!

-How sexy am I now to you right now?
-Very sexy.

You sure you're not a drug's
dealer or something, baby?

-Drug dealer my ass.
-Oh, your lackey's defending you.

Jack and I are doing God's work, baby.

And you don't think the Indian's
Affair committee is going

to take issue with all the
high fees you've been charging?

Since when have you become
an expert on Indian's affairs?

I only want to know a thing or
two about Washington, you know.

Those bitches're doing the exact same
thing we are. Trying to open casinos.

They're just jealous, because
they don't make as much as you.

You're so right!

There it's baby...
Shangri-La. Kublai Khan Xanadu.

Sorry, babe!

-Oh my God!
-What! You don't like?

-This is high end!?
-This is like

something you find in
South Hamptons, right?

South Hamptons, have you
ever been to South Hamptons?

-This is great for Delaware, dude.
-Right...

a little bit of paint and there.

-Come on!
-Mike, have you lost your mind?

-It's a what?
-A Zamboni.

A Zamboni machine for smoothing
out the surface of the ice.

-What ice?
-The ice for the hockey ring.

A hockey ring?

-I don't see a hockey ring.
-Oh no, not here.

It's being built somewhere
else. Honey... look.

These are all temporary facilities.

It's all part of the new ascular academy

and sport's center that I'm building
for all these kids. For our kids.

You were serious about
building a school?

Oh of course. You know how I feel

about the education
the kids these day get.

-A hockey ring?
-Baby!

Baby! I thought you had be happy.
I just bought us the biggest house

in the whole damn state.

-It's astonishing, dude.
-For the Addams family, maybe...

4.5 million? I can't even believe
that you would pay money for this dump.

You kidding me? This place could be like

the Playboy's mansion or something, huh.

It's all part of the bigger
picture, Pam. Philanthropy!

The Academy, the library, my
foundation, the restaurants,

the boats, the hotels...
all gonna pay for it.

-Hotels?
-Yeah, I'm looking at

a property right now. The
Chitimacha wants to invest in me.

Jack, what are you doing?

Is this why we aren't keeping
up with the house payment?

Honey, think what you want about
me. Because this is for our kids

and their kids. There
are priorities here.

This is even above board.

"Joseph Kennedy built up
his entire business empire

-with the help of his Chicago mobs..."
-Jack... honey!

I love you. And don't
take this the wrong way,

but you're completely insane.

Dude, we're gonna rips this crap
out, throw in a sound system...

they'll hear us for miles, right?

A sound system? What
about the furniture?

-Knock yourself out, baby.
-Scanlon.

-Mike Scanlon?
-Yo!

Susan Schmidt with the Washington Post.

Hi, what can I do for you, Susan.

Well, I wanted to see if
you would comment on that

new minimum wage bill that
Senate Legislators passed

out of respect to your textile
clients in the Northern Mariana's?

Oh, you know, I don't believe they
have all the votes on that, so...

I don't think that bill is
going to make it, actually.

I'm also curious about the
works Preston Gates' does

on behalf of native Americans.

We're thinking of doing a
report on Indian's gaming.

Oh yeah! Well, good luck with that.

That should bored your readers to death.

Really?

Looks like your Mariana's
Islands are fuck.

The Senate passed the bill,
minimum wage is on the way.

I'm fuck. Jack said he'd canned me if we

ever reached the end zone on this one.

Well, be a man now. Go break the news.

What's wrong, Randy? Somebody die?

You guys didn't watch?

-Hmm.
-Yeah!

The Senate passed the
bill. The Marianas are fuck!

So why the long face? This is great.

-Okay... yeah.
-Oh look.

Let me run it down for you,
boy. This is how it works.

Do you have any idea how much
more money our clients are gonna

have to pay us to get that bill
killed in the house. In fact...

I'm gonna call them right now.

Tell them they gotta
double their retainer, Enid.

Sorry to interrupt you
all so hard at work.

Jack, I need you to see
me for dinner tonight.

Okay!

-These sashimi toro is excellent here.
-Okay.

Not as good as it's gonna be
at my new restaurant though.

I just hired a top dollar
Tokyo chef, 5 stars.

New restaurant. Tokyo chef.. 5
stars, how're you feeling Jack?

Perfect! Why do you ask?

No reason other than I think you maybe

suffering from delusions
of fucking grandeur.

I'm gonna have to let you go. You've
violated the firm's ethics policy.

We asked to help Gus
Boulis sell his business.

Not elbow your way in and
tried to buy it yourself.

Your client is difficult.
Do you think any buyers out

there will agree to his
terms and try to help you out?

Help us out? Using Adam
Kidan as the frontman?

He is a good man. He's a
respectable businessman.

He's bankrupct. He's been disbarred.
He's a mob connected sleaze ball.

He has told me he has
a clean bill of health.

Clean bill of health? I'd
say he was a cheap fat whore

with a clap. My God, his
own mother was whacked.

What the hell are you talking about?

If you're doing business
with this guy, then so are we.

You think I want my firm
connected with someone like that?

And Jack, what's even
worse? You lied to us.

I need you to clean out your office
by the end of the month. You're done.

You don't think, do you Manny?

You've never got me and
never have and never will.

Am I missing something
you want us to hear?

Uh yeah! I'd say you're
missing some new ones.

You're missing a big fucking new ones.

The Wall Street Journal
is coming out with a piece

called the "Superlobbyist".
Do you know what that is?

That's me. I'm the "Superlobbyist".

I get paid higher retainer fees
than anybody else in this town

and you goddamn well know it.

And I'm gonna have a new restaurant,
5 stars... 5 goddamn stars!

Anything else?

I love my kids. I worked
out every single day.

You're gonna come out the
losing end of this one, Manny.

You're gonna lose every single one
of those Indian tribes as clients.

And you know what I'm gonna do?
Tomorrow morning I'm going to go

outside and when K-Street
finds out that I'm available...

Listen, there will be 5 fucking
law firms, top drawers...

who will be dying to hire me.

They're gonna be jumping up and down,

little kids, who needs
to go to the camp,

"We have hired Jack Abramoff!"

Then you should have
no reason to be unhappy.

Absolutely!

Nice piece. You playing
cowboy now with those Indian?

-You've kept me waiting.
-Why do you get the shooter?

You didn't tell me about
you're disbarredment,

not to mention you're
a fucking bankruptcy,

not to mention the fucking
mob connection in Saint Martin,

not to mention the fucking
murder of your own fucking mother.

-Well, I was gonna tell...
-When... 2020,

you're a dangerous man, Adam.
That's why I've got the fucking gun.

-Okay... so, go ahead, shoot me!
-Jesus...

... just get in my house. You're
a fucking menace. You know that!

You ought to wear a sign around
your neck as a public service,

"Beware Adam Kidan, fucking menace."

-Where's Pam?
-With the kids.

I send her to see her folks.

So you're the married dude, and
I'm like the hot underage mistress?

Jack, you gotta relax, maybe
even pyschologise, okay.

You gotta ask yourself:
What does Gus Boulis want?

He wants to make millions
of dollars and keep

his fucking business.
That's what he wants.

What Boulis wants is to keep his
company and sell it at the same time.

-He wants both.
-So how do we give him both?

What if we quietly kick
back Boulis' ten percent,

call it a consulting fees?!

How does that get us the
missing piece of finance, Adam...

-I'm already...
-Look Jack,

we're just a few deal points away now.

Boulis wants to keep his piece
of the business under the table,

that's against the law.
He'll have to take our I.O.U.s

For 20 millions, that's a
hell lot of I.O.U.s, Adam.

Now, you gonna have to
find another way to pay him.

Trust me to handle the
formalities, sweetheart.

Jack, the boats can be
ours after the weekend

and your money problems are over.

Just keep it legal, okay.

I have a better idea: Why
don't you show me your pussy!

Washington's New Hot Spot

Republican Big-Wigs
Cuddle Up To Jack Abramoff

... allowing the feng shui in here...

Here, one thing missing!

Congressman... Listen...
yes sir, we need your vote.

Tickets... for the Redskins,
Sunday? Absolutely no problem.

I have had the honor
to know Tom Delay...

The best Majority Leader
that we had in Congress

in the history of the United States.

Jack Abramoff: The Superlobbyist

Hi daddy-o! How much if I drill
this in if I'm left handed? Come on!

-25K.
-You're a cheap whore. Come on,

50 at least. Look at it. It's
halfway across the tarmac.

-Alright 50K. You'll never make it.
-Alright, here we go.

Daddy need a new pair of shoes...

50G, G...

-Oh Mikey...
-What's the matter, brother?

I'm haemorrhaging money like
Niagara Falls out of my ass.

Sunsail, the restaurant, the
school. They all got me strapped.

I'm bouncing checks all over the place.

And now, I really don't
remember the 2nd restaurant.

What the hell do you
need the 2nd restaurant?

-One of them got to be kosher.
-Aww, come on!

There isn't a decent kosher restaurant

-... anywhere near K Street.
-So...

-We need more clients.
-You need to chill out, dude.

I got a phone call this morning from
Chief Nokoaht of the Texas Kickapoo.

Nokoaht of the Kickapoo. You're kidding?

We're golden, baby.

He wants to meet with Bush about
oil drilling rights. I told him,

if you want to get her done it's gonna
cause him a million a month retainer.

-Can you can get that in the end zone?
-He loves what

-we've done with the Chippewas, baby.
-Awesome!

If that's true, man... you made
him show you the money fast.

-Show me the money!
-Show me the money!

You hear that? Give me five.
Keep in under the radar.

Congressman, I was on the phone this
very day with the Governor of Texas

who told me personally that
all of his Congressional

district are gonna vote no on the bill.

That is correct!

Adam Kidan: In like Flynn. U
r now proud owner of Sunsail!

Congressman... look, my mother is
very ill. She's on the other line.

Could I call you back?
Yes, thank you sir.

We did it. We're in! We're
in! We're in like Flynn...

Look at that! Who's Vegas?

-Who's Vegas?
-You... Jack.

Vegas, baby!

-I see you're enjoying the new digs.
-You are the man, Oscar!

Glad to have you at Greenberg, Jack.

Along with the Coushatta,
the Choctaw and the Chippewa.

And don't forget the Kickapoo too.

Mikey... baby!

Chippewa likes essential, dude.
Beautiful Saginaw, Michigan.

Oh man... can Pastar keep goal,

it's a perfect timing
because you know why?

We just closed Sunsail. We owned it.

Oh sweet, dude!

Our kwan is so flow, daddy-o.

How goes it down there
with all the troglodytes?

The what?

Troglodytes... it's... fucking
look it up. What am I? A dictionary!

Dude, listen, listen... Slater
Bates rock it today. We are in.

-What're you saying? We won?
-We did it!

Bernie Sprague is out, Poncho is in.

Considered us high
brother Chippewa, dude.

You are gold, you know!
When it rain, it pours.

Alright now. We got to start
talking about billings figure.

I want 20 millions from
these monkeys right away.

Yes, big chief Rainmaker.
Oh, you have to know,

Sprague is super pissed
about this whole deal, okay.

He took it really hard.

-Oh yeah, what is that job he's got?
-Parks and recreation commissioner.

Yeah well, doesn't
the council control it?

Why don't you just tell Poncho
to eliminate the position.

You've got it, mate.
3 months necessary to

fatten the budget...
fiscal discipline...

No... I don't know. Maybe it's bad
karma to kick a guy when he's down.

Oh yeah, right!

Not only are we gonna
kick him when he's down,

we're gonna kick him
till he passes out, dude.

And then we're gonna beat him over
the head with the baseball bat,

rolled him up into an old
rug, kick him off the cliff

into the pounding surf below.

You go take a jog, buddy.

Mr. Abramoff's office.

-Yeah, ring it Jack.
-Excuse me, who's calling?

-Bernie.
-Bernie? Bernie who?

Tell him I'm a rabbi
from the synagogue board.

Mr. Abramoff is in a
meeting. Can he return?

Tell him he's going
to have company soon.

-Are all this bastards related to Gus?
-What do you mean?

There is enough staff in here
to run an aircraft carrier.

-They are all family.
-Really?

This isn't the old country. We're
in America. Wait for me there.

Here it is.

This is just today's take?

K Street Goes Kosher

We want to make sure all our
kosher friends in Washington

are well taken care of
and they will be here.

Yeah honey, I promise.

-Only two restaurants.
-Aah Jack...

BEST Corned Beef In Town

Abramoff Builds His Empire

Mike! Mike! Why is Susan
Schmidt trying to reach you?

She just leave a message
for you on my cellphone.

Ignored her. She is a nosy
reporter from the post.

-Either Susan is a friend?
-Babe, I don't care

how many white wines
breecher you drink with her.

This is business, so fuck
her. I'm not calling her back.

Did you see the electrician up
there? He says he'll be here at 4.

What do I look like? The help.

You're so useless... where the
hell do you think you're going?

I'm pretty sure I told you
I have a business meeting.

A business meeting? What, in your
flip-flop? How dumb do you think I am?

What, I have business
to discuss with Brian.

You have business with Brian.

I love you, but you're getting
kind of nuts, you know that.

I gotta send Brian to Michigan
to help over the Chippewa deal.

And what part of your dubious dealings
with the Chippewa is Brian partied to?

Baby, Brian is helping us
fight the good fight, okay.

Oh God! Why do I waste my time
here with you Delaware whizz?

Oh yeah, because you'd rather
be at some gay leader's dinner

party in Georgetown, right?

-You bet I would.
-Later.

Mike!

4200 square feet? Isn't that just
overdoing it a little bit, Adam?

Hey, how big is your place?

-Yeah well, I've got a family of 7.
-Oh, I've got people too.

It's a real beauty deal here.
Why shouldn't I have a few perks?

Well, just try to use a moducal
of self-control. Is that possible?

This isn't exactly Manhattan.
I'm dying of boredom here.

Yeah, Adam! Listen to me.

I just spoke to the money people.
The last financials you send over

don't make any goddamn sense.

-I think that's maybe like pizza?
-Adam?

-Oh dios posti. I kick your ass, okay!
-I'm gonna have to call you back.

Adam, don't hang...

Twelve people here... Tonia,
Nick, Dimitri. You know, I...

You know, I'm not the
welfare department, okay.

Finding your relatives
new jobs is not my gig.

My family... they all moved here to
Florida because of me. They starve?

You know what? I'm
really not having as much

fun here as it might look like, okay.

I don't need your family
around skimming the take.

Listen to me, you dumb Jew bastard!

The wire transfer was a phony.
My nephew, my sister-in-law...

all of them. They all go
back on the pay roll tomorrow.

Now, you listen to me. You're out,
Gus. You don't like it, sue me!

Sue me!

I'm not going to sue you. I'll kill you.

Since my previous statement,
I've come to learn that

Sunsails casino now finds
itself under new ownership.

The new owner has a reputation
for honesty and integrity.

Adam Kidan is most well known for his
successful enterprise Kwikee mattress.

But he is also well known as a
respected member of his community.

While Mr. Kidan certainly
has his hands full,

it's up to him to clean
up Sunsail's reputation.

His track records in business,

leads me to believe that
he'll easily transform Sunsail.

From a questionable entreprise, to
an outstanding establishment that

the gaming community can be proud of.

I can't hear you!

Please... Make him stop...

-You have reach the
voice-mail of... -Mike Scanlon.

This mail box is full.
Please try again later.

-Is Micheal in?
-I haven't seen him this morning.

Oh, I have some dry-cleaning
for him to pick-up.

I will take it.

Mike!

Mike?

Excuse me, does Abramoff knows I'm here?

Sir, I've already told you
Mr. Abramoff is unavailable.

So if I were you, I
wouldn't waste my time.

Dude, seriously. I'm
worried about Emily.

She hasn't return my
calls since yesterday.

Well, you sleep in the
bed you make, my friend.

Oh, thanks for the empathy.
I really appreciate it.

Yeah well, listen...

You can have anyone over.
Sensible people always negotiate.

All you have to do is
just make Boulis sensible.

Oh yeah, great. Thanks Jack! You
know what, I'm sure he's gonna be

thrilled about the bogus wire transfer.

I'm damn serious, Jack. What
am I gonna say about Kidan

phony wire transferring?

Gus, just let me personally apologize
for Adam Kidan. He is a social menace.

You're gonna apologize for
that phony wire transfer too?

What... what phony wire transfer?

Holy shit!

Gus, that was Kidan's department.
Had nothing to do with us, okay.

There is nothing that I detest
more than substantial lies, okay.

He's a errant boy, send by grocery
clerk to collect the bills, right.

Jack and I have your cash. I
can give it to you right now.

You all are out of Sunsail. As
far as I'm concerned, that's it.

Gus, we're reasonable
people here, okay! Let's...

Talk to my lawyers, alright.

Hey... listen, Jack and I would like
to settle this without lawyers, okay.

Gus, our new client's the
Chippewa tribe of Michigan

just made me the highest paid
lobbyists in our nation history, okay.

You know why? Because we help them, Gus.

And they help us and we'll help
you. You help us. You help them.

-They help you. That's how it works.
-I help who, what?

The bottom line is, we've
serious financial liquidity now.

And we want the opportunity to
prove to you, Gus, that we can take

your 11 boats and turn them into a
fleet of 30 around the world, okay.

We're talking about tripling,

possibly even quadrupling
our income in 6 months.

A floating casino empire here, dude.

And we want you to be a
major part of that, right.

We can make this happen.

I don't want Kidan.

He's a disgusting fat asshole. I
mean, he groped me in front of Gus.

-So Kidan just disappear from Sunsail.
-How?

Jack works him like a
monkey on a stick, alright.

You let us handled that.

Your pen face makes me wanna puke.

This is the secong time I've
been a victim of family violence.

Had to hire a gorilla...

-Ooh... no offense.
-None taken.

I've got a court order. Gus
Boulis can't come near the boats.

I've rented an armored plated
car because of that psychotic.

Well, did you ever think that he
might be mad at you for giving him

a check for $23 millions that's
absolutely fucking wotrthless.

I'm talking about my physical safety!

His people are moving
our slots of our boats.

He's capable of all
manners of strong-arm shit.

Well, just don't do anything stupid.

Hey, I think you've broke something.

Well, Adam. We break
something, we fix it, right?!

He is the all time champ
bastard motherfucker of all time.

I think you'll agree, it's time
Gus Boulis was gone from Sunsail.

Let's us go talk to him. I
know how you talk to people.

You're as subtle as a fucking
chain-saw. Look at you.

You alright?

I can't even get through the front door.

Something interesting happen
with Walther On-rapid casino.

-He did an annual audit.
-Oh... yeah.

Nothing match. They counted so
that none of Abramoff papers add up.

We're paying for hundred of thousands
worth of lunches at his restaurant.

$200,000 for his Redskins skybox.

But it's well known he
help other tribes saved

billion of dollars in taxes.

And that so called "Grassroots
Campaign" against the Jena.

It was made up of 3 people handing
out a few dozen Kinko flyers.

The guy took us for a bunch of suckers.

Son of a bitch. He's no good.

He's now preying on the
Kickapoo and the Chocta.

Look, you tell me it's
about taking care of things,

so I only gives you a
financial piece of the casino.

I just don't want to take any
more chances with this guy.

-I don't know.
-Tony, we're old friends.

Don't make me beg.

You know, I had an
uncle who is half Jewish.

He used to relax me. Give me your hand.

Give me your hand. Give me
your hand. Palm up, palm up.

He used to do...

Fuck!

He scared me and relax
me at the same time.

Anyway from what you tell
me, this goof, this fucking

Greek deserved some broken leg at least.

No, no, no! Violence sickened me.

-I hit him in the fucking head.
-No, no! No shooting please.

You'll come down there and you'll be..
what, the ship's catering director.

What do I know about cooking?

You learn to make gyros.
Can it be that difficult.

-Gyros!? What's a gyros?
-Heroes!

Listen, I'm telling you now
like I would tell my own son.

I've been in this business, 50 years.

The correct move... is to whack him.

No, Tony. Listen, you should know
they're some important people involved

political people.
High up... way high up.

And there's a lot of money involved.
Hundreds of millions of dollars.

Everything is very,
very, very sensitive.

-Okay, I've got it cover.
-Got it cover!

What about Abramoff,
is he okay with this?

Jack? He'll never
comes down. He's in D.C.

Besides I've got the guy baffled.

Okay, I need 40 grand, right away.

Just want you to make sure Gus Boulis

never attacks me again
with a fucking ballpoint.

Is that funny?

-A fucking pen...
-It's not funny.

Aye, aye... listen!

Why don't you go on a vacation?

Don't worry. I'll be nice.

Jack, the IMF is never going to allow

the Russians in until Putin deals
with the human rights issues.

Come on! You don't think we've

-influence in Moscow?
-I don't care!

I'm sick and tired of waiting.

-I come all the back from Michigan.
-I know that son of a bitch

-is back here some place.
-Excuse me, sir! Excuse me!

-Take your hands off...
-You cannot come in here.

You've no rights to go by reception...

We must talk about the 20 million
he took out from my people.

You and Scanlon.

No more hiding in your
goddamn office. -Sir...

Look, I've come all the way
from Michigan to talk to you.

From today on, Jack... I'm
gonna make you my hobby.

-Who is that guy?
-Bad karma.

Anyway, I know people that knows Putin.

Miss Miller? I am Agent
Hanlon. Please come in.

-You've something you wish to report.
-I do.

Miss Miller, is it a federal issue?

You bet!

It's a little embarrassing, Jack.

Look, he's a Jewish
kid from the West Bank.

He's tired of having Hamas lobbed
rocket into his neighbourhood.

He wanted to build a sniper
school and I help him out.

With a shipment of a
thousand night vision goggles?

Okay! So we make a lot of money,
right. Don't you think it's our

obligation to help the
children to get good karma.

You bought them from the Russians.

I've got a lot of good
contacts in Moscow now.

Jack, Newsweek is calling
you a "Zionist thug."

You got that Time magazine article?

The same week, the Newsweek
calls me a Zionist thug,

Time magazine accuses me of
supporting Islamic terrorism

because I gave money to
Grover to help him mobilise

Republicans muslim in Ohio. They're
passion maniac, you know that.

A lot of people are talking,
Jack. You're drawing too much

attention to our profession.

Bunch of woozies!

Jack, this isn't the 90's anymore.
Look around, it's post 9/11.

Bill Clinton isn't running around
boasting about budget surplus,

drinking crew got him crystal flu's.

Bill Clinton is the best thing
that ever happened to Washington.

And I say that as a Republican.

Let me spell it out for you. K Street
doesn't like the limelight, Jack.

The partners and I are
giving you a warning.

You're wrong on this.

-Susan Schmidt, Washington Post.
-Susan, Emily Miller.

I like to talk to you about Mike Scanlon

and the Chippewa Indian.

270 K Street, thanks.

Hey, who the hell ask
you to sit down, pop?

Mr. Boulis... you don't
return phone calls.

You know, well... I work
for a living. I'm busy.

Well, you got a nice operation here.

But it is rude, see. Could
I've a cracker? I'm starving.

Who the fuck are you
asking to return your calls?

I'm looking after Mr. Kidan now.

His interests are mine
interest. He's with me.

Adam fucking Kidan can suck my prick.

-Really?
-Yeah, really.

And no goombata is gonna waste my time.

Maybe I should explain to you
who I am before this goes too far.

I know who you are. You are the
senior citizen fucking Al Capone.

I'll cut your fucking
throats, okay gramp.

Oh, okay.

Alright, fine... I'll go.

I don't bother you no more.

Listen! Trust me, chief.

-Bernie Sprague is becoming a problem.
-Yeah!

Can you help me out with this guy?

Your guy, Scallion told me to fire him.

Scanlon. Look, can you
just give him his job back?

It don't exists anymore.
Scanlon eliminated it, right?

Well.. look, you know!
I can't... Musharraf.

I've met Musharraf, okay.
Newt Gingrich knows my name.

I don't need this guy.

Can you just give him some
job, get him off my back?

-Hey Jack, guess what?
-What?

I got the new H2 in metallic
red. It is fully loaded

and it's fucking beautiful.

-Great! Hope you enjoy it.
-Enid!

-There he is.
-He isn't such a tough guy now, is he?

Gyro...

Now this ought to make
that fat Jew happy.

Forget Kidan. If he doesn't do what we
says with Sunsail, it'll be him next.

Go!

Emily? Baby?

Em? You here, baby?

Hickory!

Now over here, we've a beautiful
portrait by Aaron Shikler

of our 35th president
John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Adam... Adam, what are you
talking about? Are you nuts?

You said you wanted Gus
Boulis gone from Sunsail.

Five shots in the head?
Five shots in the head?

That's what you think I was
suggesting, you fucking moron.

Well, I asked him to be my
caterer, not whacked the guy.

Anyway, we're over 1000 miles
away. They can't connect us to it.

Are you serious? Do you
have any idea that the

grand jury is sitting
right now discussing

fraud on the wire transfers?

I didn't even want to
get involved in Sunsail.

What was I thinking? My way.

So now we have got blood on our hands.

Oh no! No, no, no. They're
not coming after me.

They are coming after
you, Adam. You know why?

Because I know those guys at Justice and

they jerk off taking on guy like you.

My right handed guy, Jack.
I wish I've never met you.

Fuck you, fuck you...
you stupid goddamn fatty.

What, you're the one who's fat.
You fat fuck. Fake Jew fuck fat.

Eat me, you goddamn fat cock sucker.

Sorry. A little issue on the hill.

.. Presidential's portrait collection.

Mr. Abramoff, Congressman Delay
needs you to come to his office.

I swear to you,

tell Tom that I'm currently
in the White House about to see

the President of the United States.

I've Chief Nokoaht of
the Kickapoo with me.

Congressman Delay said
you should dropped whatever

you're doing and come to
his office immediately.

-The President will see you now.
-I've to call you back.

-Mr President...
-How're you doing there, buff guy.

Looks like you keep on working out.

Mike, Mike... listen to me, alright.

Why? Listen, this could be very serious.

Why is the Washington Post
calling Delay about the Chippewa?

His secretary said he's freaking out

about a story they're running tomorrow.

Jack... me and Emily broke up.

Oh well, you know... buddy.
You've got my condolences but,

you know... he's about
to rip my head off.

No, no, no... listen. Emily found
out about the stewardess, Krystle.

But this could be serious,
Mike... pay attention.

No Jack, you're not listening.

She found Krystle panties
in my dry-cleaning and

she got super fucking pissed
and went to the FBI, dude.

She knew everything about Give
me five, Jack. She had no mercy.

You told Emily Miller about Give
me five? How can you be so stupid.

We were getting married! She
wanted to share everything, Jack.

Mike, what the fuck were you thinking?

Hey, hey, hey! I've
my priorities too, man.

You should have been thinking
of me. I'm your fucking priority!

Oh right, right! So when I'm in the can,

jerking for some big
black dude named Postum,

I'll be thinking of Jack fucking
Abramoff. Fuck you, Jack Abramoff!

He is waiting for you.

Hey, Tom.

Come on in here, Jack.

My secretary told you about
how concerned I am about this,

the story coming out in
tomorrow Washington Post.

Look, they probably are gonna
buried it in the National section.

I mean, Indian gambling
is a very dull subject.

What in the hell were you thinking, boy?

Tom, I don't know what the
story is about, I hav...

You listen to me!

I did not clawed my way
out of the mosquitoes

infested flatlands of Laredo, Texas...

to become Majority Leader
of the United States Congress

only to be brought down
by a no good lying...

Jack, you remember Reverend Mueller
from my home district, don't you?

Yes.

Take a seat, Mr. Abramoff.

You've a lot to answer for, Jack. And
there just so much I don't understand.

But first, I think
it's important that we,

sat here together as
man of faith and pray.

Reverend...

Jack?

In the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ...

Dear Lord, as we sit here under
the shadow of a gathering storm,

You know, I think my life is over.

Honey, I don't mean
to change the subject,

but when did you start smoking?

It's the Sabbath, you know.

Jack, have I not always
been straight with you?

Not always the good
mother and devoted wife?

Of course you have.

Then I think you should just,
you know... go to whoever,

confess and like get it over with.

Confess? I have no
idea who killed Boulis.

Who's going to believe you, Jack?

And what about all this
Indian gaming stuff?

Honey, I haven't done
anything that every

other lobbyist in
Washington does, right?

Charging high fees...
everybody knows I saved those

-Indians tribe billions of dollars.
-Jack...

they're saying that you were
hiding the money you were making,

by splitting it with
Scanlon under the table.

Honey, that's no different
from what Ralph...

Look! It's just a technicality, really.

Look, I'm gonna sell the restaurants,

I'm gonna hire the most
aggresive lawyers I can find.

Those assholes out there are
accusing me of selling excess.

What the fuck do you think everybody
on K Street does? We all sell excess.

That doesn't make it right, Jack!
Goddamn it, stop justifying it.

It's all bullshit!

Maybe you're right, honey.

I just got caught up in all of it.

I should have never got into
business with someone like Kidan.

And I got greedy with the tribes.

And I'm worried now...

I worried so much
that I've let down God.

What about me and the kids?

What about letting down me and the kids?

It's okay. It's okay.
We're gonna be okay.

We're gonna be okay. I've got
lot of friends on the hill.

We have no friends, Jack. None!

All we have are people
you do business with.

I've a statement I liked
to make at this time,

The good Lord has always told me the
difference between right and wrong.

All I can tell you now is that if
someone is trading on my good name,

to get clients or make money,

it is unconsciousable, it is illegal

-and it should stop immediately.
-We are

absolutely outraged, by the dishonesty,

duplicity of his words in
action of Jack Abramoff.

NBC news in depth tonight, a
former superlobbyist in Washington..

-his name, Jack Abramoff, NSBC chief..
-Abramoff's friends

are some of the biggest
players in the Conserva...

They believe corruption and
illegal activities are...

... mushroom into
multiple investigations...

... exploiting Indian tribes
by Members of Congress...

Potentially bad news for
leading Members of Congress...

It may proved to be the biggest
Congressional scandals ever...

Big troubles for some
big time lawmakers.

There are a lot of people scared...

This whole thing is turning
into the Enron of lobbying.

How the hell are we
gonna cope with that!

Look what happened with
those accountants from Enron.

They failed to cooperate,

the government took away
their license to do business.

I figured we make
reparations to the Tiguas,

Choctaws, the Chippewas
and the Agua Caliente.

-That ain't hay!
-Hey, guys...

-You're costing us 70 million, Jack.
-Oh that much!

-Do you know how much money I saved..
-Look Jack!

They're saying that you and Scanlon

defrauded those tribes
of the 70 millions.

That money gotta comes from
somewhere. Who the hell do

you think is going to pay for this?
We're sitting in shit here, Jack.

Do you have any idea, any of you...
how much money I gave away everyday?

How soon can you be out of your office?

Jack!

-I need a couple of weeks.
-You have 30 minutes.

For God's sake, you are on the
front page of the Washington Post.

Again?

Is it above the fold?

Enid... put a call to my old
friend Simon Bowler of Paramount.

Paramount Pictures, it's a
movie studio in Hollywood.

Call him and tell him I
want to set-up a meeting

because I've got a great movie
idea that I want to pitch to him.

You want to hear it?

Jack...

Jack, how're you? I didn't think
you still have the film bug in you.

Ahh... you never lose
it. And you know what,

folks in Washington, they love movies
even if they pretended they don't.

Every week, George
Bush calls me to ask me,

what movie should I be screening.

-At the White House?
-You're damn right!

So you've been getting
a lot of press lately.

-You feeling the heat?
-Oh no, not law.

The law blow over.
It's par for the course.

So, you're here to pitch
us an idea for a movie.

Based on the Old
Testament. A biblical epic,

kind of re-telling of
the Ten Commandments.

Only this time it's called
"Pharaoh's Thorn", alright. Now...

Here's the great modern twist.

It's kind of a Bourne
Identity action like Moses

leading his people out of Egypt.
Russell Crowe, perfect for Moses.

I think we can get Ridley to direct it.

Now listen, man. This film is epic
in scale. CinemaScope, big story.

Russell Crowe leading
his people out of Eygpt

to the promised land. Happy ending.

Excuse me. Yes...

Jack Abramoff?

-This is Agent Patterson with the FBI.
-Yes.

-Michael Scanlon?
-Yeah.

Oh... hey guys! Come on in.

The right of individual
groups and corporations

to lobby the federal
government is protected

by the right to petition in the

First Amendment of the United
States constitution, huh!

So, what's the problem?

Honestly, I don't know.

I don't know!

Very nice that you finally
decided to cooperate.

Look, I know you want
me to do it for awhile,

but we finally talk about it as a family

and that's the decision we have reach.

Right, there's one tiny problem.

-What's that?
-You'll never make it.

Michael Scanlon had
beat you to the punch.

He negotiated a sign deal
with Justice on Tuesday.

Does that mean Jack can't make a deal?

I'm sorry, Pam. They don't
need him. They don't need you.

He kept track of everything.

E-mails, phone
conversations... the lot.

He's saying how the two of scammed
the tribe of almost 20 million dollars.

And the two of you
conspire to bribe Ney.

A trip to Scotland and
meals at your restaurants.

It's all out there.

They're calling it the
Stream of Things of Value.

Well, that is bullshit! It's
a technicality, he knows it.

-Yeah... well, it's all out there.
-He's given all this shit to Justice?

Well.. you know, your good buddy used
you as his get out of jail free card.

I'm afraid I've got more
good news for you folks.

The Indian Affairs Committee
has ask me to form an inquiries.

They're gonna subpoena
you before Senate hearing.

A Senate hearing? Jack
has help half of the

Senate get re-elected
and now they're gonna...

Isn't there someone we can call?

Who's the head of the
Indian Affairs Committee?

John McCain.

What are you gonna do?

I'm... tell him. I'm gonna tell
him I was doing my goddamn job.

-That's what I was doing, my job.
-Jack!

They're not going to play
nice, understand that.

I strongly suggest that you go
in there, you plead the Fifth.

The Fifth? I might as well say I'm
guilty. I will not plead the Fifth.

I'd like to thank you, Senator McCain.

Thank you, Senator Jarvis. I want
to thank you and the vice-chairman

and staff for your tremendous effort
on behalf of this investigation

and your continued
dedication and efforts

of many years on behalf
of native Americans.

This chairman adds to the
history of our great nation.

It's a long and momentable chapter about

the exploitation of native Americans.

It began with the sale of Manhattan
and it's has continued ever since.

Mr. Abramoff, you had
a relationships with

a number of native tribes, did you not?

Is it fair to say you felt these
tribes were gullible and naive?

Senator, on the basis
of the Fifth Amendments,

I respectfully declined
to answer the question.

These tribe, was never told about
the secret scheme that allowed

Jack Abramoff and Michael Scanlon

to take over 40 million dollars
for services dubiously rendered.

Senator, I respectfully invoked
the privileges as stated.

You can continued dodging
questions Mr. Abramoff,

yet you ripped of my
fellow native Americans.

You referred to them as
"monkeys" and "troglodytes"...

Senator, I respectfully invoked
the privileges as stated.

This is the most
extraordinarily pattern of

abuse and criminal conduct that has been

before this Committee the
entire 18 years I've served here.

Mr. Abramoff, you've proven
yourself to be callous.

And to only have been,
all about the money.

Do you not feel any shame?

Senator, I respectfully invoked
the privileges as stated.

All this account of unscrupulous
men are sadly for me,

the tale we hear today is nought.

What sets this tale apart, what makes
it truly extraordinarily is the extent

and degree of the apparent
exploitation and deceit.

Mr. Abramoff, have you
nothing to say for yourself?

Senator, I respectfully
invoked the privileges as...

No.

Jack!

No, I no longer wish

-to invoke the privileges.
-Jack!

I have something to say and

-I'm gonna say it.
-Jack!

-No, no, no! In fact,
-Jack, just be quiet!

Jack, what are you doing?

-if we want to talk
all about the money,

why don't we start with the
four, five thousand dollars checks

I personally handed to Senator Jarvis

for his re-election campaign.

And we know what that money was
all about, don't we, Senator.

Or how about you, Senator
Burman... I donated $30,000

to influence your vote
to keep the Mariannas

opened for business, remember?

What about you, Senator McCain...

You should be sitting in the seat
that I'm sitting in right now.

For years, you've taken
tens of thousands of dollars

from lobbyists just like me

representing competing Indian tribes

who wanted to open up their own casinos

that would have shut my clients down.

-Sir, you're out of order.
-This man...

this son of a bitch is guilty.

And if he is allowed to go free,

then there's something
really wrong going on here.

Sir, you're out of order. Out of order.

You're out of order.
You're out of order.

You're all out of order.

This whole Senate
hearing is out of order.

Seize him!

I've got a whole panel of
Senators who loved to take money

from anybody who's got
a fucking bank account.

And you call me a con Jew?

Fucking hypocrites!
You fucking hypocrites!

You ought to stand for something.
You should protect people.

Hold on... hold on. I've just
completed my opening statement.

Mr. Abramoff?

Mr. Abramoff?

Senator, I respectfully invoked
the privileges as stated.

And I say to you, Mr.
Abramoff; Shame on you!

Who the hell are you
trying to look like?

Who the hell are you
trying to look like?

Look, it's Michael Corleone!

Hey, Corleone!

You are a thief and a racist buff.

We pray for you, Jack Abramoff!

Mr. President, at the end of
the day, I was vilified as Satan

and ordered to pay restitution of more

than 21 million dollars
to the Indian tribes

as well as 1.7 million to the IRS.

Adam Kidan was sentenced
in Florida in March 2006

to six years in prison for conspiracy

and fraud in the purchase of the
Sunsail casino gambling fleet.

Bob Ney was sentenced in January
2008 to 2½ years in prison

for allegedly taking bribes from me.

In 2005, Anthony Muscatello
and Anthony Ferrari

were charged with the
murder of Gus Boulis.

In 2006, Tom Delay stepped
down as Majority Leader

and resigned his seat in Congress

after being indictment
by a Texas grand jury.

In 2009, he appeared in the ABC
hit show 'Dancing with the Stars'.

My two old buds, Grover and Ralph...
they never face charges of any kind.

And poor Kevin Ring,

well... he's looking at
five years in federal prison.

As for Mike, well he's still free

and he has taken up work
as a Hobart beach lifeguard

as he continued to stay out of jail

while cooperating
with the investigators.

It's like starring in our own movie.

Sorry, I was just trying
to lighten the mood.

Make bail, huh?

Yeah, so far. Looks like...

Thanks for coming, Jack.

Pam would be furious if she knows
that I was even talking to you.

We still friends, right?

"I know it was you, Fredo."

"You broke my heart.
Right... you broke my heart."

Or as Harry Truman once said;

"You want a friend in Washington D.C..."

"... get a dog."

Jack, you have no idea how much
pressure they put on me, at Justice.

I'm sorry, bro!

It's okay. My lawyer tells me you
only beat me to it by about 2 minutes.

The student becomes the master.

Your serve.

You're a good kid, Mike.

I'll miss you.

I was sentenced to six years

at a federal correctional
institution in Cumberland, Maryland.

Pam and the kids visit me on weekends.

I spend the rest of my time
leading a Jewish prayer group.

And teaching a screen writing
class to my fellow inmates.

Occasionally I'll find
time to throw darts at the

photograph of George W. Bush.

If it wasn't for all the money
I help poured into Florida,

that idiot would never have left Texas

and I think you'd agreed,
we all will be better for it.

And despite the fact that the
Justice Department recommended

my sentence be reduced by 2 years,

for fully cooperation
with the investigators...

... on his last day in office,
Bush refused to even considered.

You see to this day, I remained
Republicans worst nightmare.

Not because I'm an icon to an era
most people would prefer to forget

but because once I'm out of here,
God has given me a new mission...

to remind the world what a
bunch of hypocrites they all are.

You see, Mr. President; It's
time to think out of the box.

I know it's a moonshot, but
in writing you this letter...

to a former president who understand
very well how the game is play,

I hope you might see my point of view,

and considered making an
appeal to the right Democrats,

who might find it useful to help me,
so in turn, I can help all of you.

Time's up, Jack!

Why... because my name is Jack Abramoff

and I worked out everyday.
