Owning Mahowny

You know, some folks believe everyone has a public life,

a private life and a secret life.

What do you think about that?

See, the thing is, I guess...

my secret life is a bit less secret

than anyone else's right now.

Hey, Mahowny,

- you got a promotion, eh? - Yup.

So, when are you gonna junk that heap?

Why? It runs.

Good morning.

Hey, wild man.

You been hanging out where the action is?

I'm always where the action is.

We still hanging out this weekend?

You bet. We're moving the stuff into the apartment, right?

We should celebrate right after.

How about dinner at Vivante's?

Vivante's?

Are you sure we can get outta there for under 30 bucks?

- No? - No.

You just got a raise.

Hey, let's not get crazy.

All right? Talk to you at lunch.

Good morning.

- Good morning. - Miss Selkirk.

Congratulations.

Mr. Mahowny has just become

the branch's youngest assistant manager.

I see.

He's been handling

Miss Selkirk's accounts and trading interests for some time.

Well,

perhaps we could... get started, then.

Are you telling me that the bank would be happy

to lend the money to my father,

but has reservations about lending it to me?

We'd just be happier if Selkirk International was involved

- as security. - I thought security was...

The building itself, with Miss Selkirk's bond holdings

making up the balance.

In addition to which you have my client's personal guarantee.

Even so, with such a large line of credit...

Sir.

I'm sorry you had to go through that, Miss Selkirk.

What was on that sheet?

I thought he should know how much we're making off you.

Dan!

You actually make banking fun.

It's all about procedure.

Just have to know your way around it.

Well, I am very grateful.

One of these days, I'm gonna take you out

and get you a decent suit. Bye-bye.

Bye.

- See ya. - Bye.

Are you sure he can handle a loan of this size at his age?

Oh, absolutely.

He has an impeccable record

and excellent judgement.

What are you doing here?

We got a little concerned when you didn't show.

We thought maybe you were sick or something...

- This is not the race track. - How much you got for us?

I told you, I need a day or two.

That was on Monday, Dan, this is Friday.

Look, guys, I'm having a bad run, so what?

Just give me 5,000 more...

- Five thousand more?! - Yes.

Look after yourself or I'm gonna have to do it for you.

What are you saying?

That we're gonna have to come up with a payment plan

where you give me a certain amount of money on a certain day

and until you're paid up, you do not play!

You can't do that.

I can do it, I'm doing it now.

I thought we had a relationship here.

We have a relationship.

And that is why I'm shutting you down.

- For a few grand? - It's 10,300.

So what am I supposed to do?

Go to the racetrack and watch?

Do I make you do business with me?

Okay. Okay.

Give me an hour.

Yeah, give me an hour.

I'll see ya in the garage in an hour.

Couple of bozos looking for a loan.

And Martin...

I don't see anyone without an appointment.

Understand?

Yeah.

What the fuck is this?

A bank draft.

This is made out to him.

Hey, you want it made out to you?

No, but, uh...

What do I do with this?

- You take it to your branch. - My what?

- It is where I come from. - That is not normal.

- I don't like my name on it. - You will when you cash it.

What are tonight's lines?

No, no, no. I'm not gonna let you bet.

- What? - You're not betting.

I just paid off.

I know, but I can't do business like this.

Take it to your branch.

Yeah right, fuckin' guy.

Come on, Dan. Bank draft...

Teri, that bridge loan we did a draft on for Mr. Quinson?

Uh-huh.

We're gonna do another 15 for a cash pickup.

Okay.

Thanks, Teri.

You want this draft cashed?

Yeah, it's already signed. Mr. Quinson's waiting in my office.

Okay.

Thank you. Hi.

Let's do it.

Let's do it.

Hi, folks, we'll be landing in Philadelphia very shortly.

And you know what that means, don't you?

Here comes the weekend!

Just wait here a moment, please.

Just for a moment, please. Thank you.

Mr.N. an honour, as always.

An honour and a pleasure.

Fifteen thousand dollars.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

Here you go, Shooter.

Here we go.

Yo! Eleven! For 900.

Nine hundred.

Here we go.

No, thank you.

Blackjack 17.

He's making some pretty big bets on impulse.

No consistent pattern.

My kind of guy.

Let's take a closer look.

Is that a Rolex?

They just drive them to me.

That's that, sir?

What?

Six a.m. We gotta end it.

You're kidding.

We'll be rolling again at ten.

Sorry.

I got kind of tied up, you know.

Guess you're gonna be mad at me.

Well, where are you?

Just out messing around.

I, uh...

I'm gonna make it up to ya, Blin.

You better.

I promise.

You have a good weekend, okay? You know you work too hard.

Yeah, yeah, that's all I...

need, Blin, is one good weekend.

Eleven! Frontline winner!

Oh hi!

Hi.

You still here?

That was a really great run we had going there.

Oh yeah. Yeah.

Say... um.

Stake me 200, and I'll share my winnings with you.

What do you say?

No, thank you.

Okay, uh... 100.

A hundred!

Oh...

I can't believe this place is ours.

Oh, it's not.

It could be.

We've got an option to buy.

You didn't get a lot of sleep this weekend, eh?

Mmm...

I'll bet you were out at the track.

Hm?

Did you tell Doug about coming over?

Mm-hm.

Oh, God! I hope Maggie likes him.

Wouldn't it be great if they started dating?

We could do things together, the four of us...

Uh-huh.

Go out, have fun, hm?

Did you win anything?

Sort of.

How much?

I came home with 500.

Wow.

Cool.

Ending with a bench-clearing brawl,

and the puck crossing the goal line.

The standings: Minnesota leads Winnipeg by six points,

the Leafs by 15.

Yeah, I want 30 on North Carolina.

Thirty? Hey, Dan, you're scaring me.

Take it or leave it.
