(CLEARS THROAT)

All right, what do you have?

''Representative Charles Wilson has learned he is joining several members of Congress

''who are under investigation by a Justice Department task force that is...''

Don't say task force. It makes it sound

like Eliot Ness is running the thing. Okay.

Who is running the thing? Who's the prosecutor?

Rudolph Giuliani, New York, Southern District.

You know him? No.

Well, it's been going on forever. We should say that, too.

''Representative Charles Wilson has learned he is joining several members of Congress

''who are under investigation by the Justice Department

''in what is now an 18-month long, wide-ranging examination

''that has resulted in no convictions.''

''Congressman Wilson has not been charged with any crime,

''nor has he been questioned by the authorities.

''He denies any allegation of illegal or improper behavior

''and will fully cooperate with the ongoing investigation.''

Okay. Run it by Stu.

JAILBAIT: Yes, sir.

Gus!

You and three other guys? Yeah.

Well, l'll tell you what l told Harold Holt. l can get the money.

Now, the 10 million is a ioke? Fine. What do you need?

To do what? To shoot down the helicopters.

To shoot down the helicopters.

lf we can help them shoot down the goddamn helicopters,

everything's gonna start going our way.

You know, there's a story about a Zen master and a little boy.

(KNOCK ON DOOR) All right, and... Yeah.

lt's Stu.

You should be on this.

Stu?

No. No, it's gonna be fine.

lt was a party in Vegas.

Lot of drugs, Iot of people l don't know.

l was there with Crystal Lee and this guy Paul Brown

who wanted me to invest in a TV show for Crystal.

l don't know.

l don't know, it's gonna be like a Dallas set in Washington.

What... Stu, what does it matter?

Okay.

Okay.

Will Crystal back up your story that you weren't using?

Just go put out the statement.

You know what?

You never should have been in the same room, Congressman.

(DOOR SLAMS)

Gus!

Yeah. The Swiss make an antiaircraft gun

called the Oerlikon. Listen, Charlie.

Twenty-millimeter cannon, high rate of fire.

l know the Oerlikon.

Don't forget the limo driver.

What do you mean?

Well, you took a limo from the casino to the airport.

Maybe it's easy enough to track down a limo driver, hand him a subpoena,

ask him if anything was going on in the back seat,

so, you know, in terms of cleaning up this...

Were you listening at the door?

l wasn't listening at the door. Were you standing

at the goddamn door listening to me? No.

How could you even... That's a thick door!

You stood there and you listened to me?

l wasn't standing at the door. Don't be an idiot.

l bugged the Scotch bottle.

What?

Yeah, it's got a little transmitter on it.

l got a little thing in my ear. Get past it.

l don't believe this. Who the fuck... Who the fuck are you?

lt's not in my ear right now. Take it easy.

l was gonna tell you about it, but l had to leave the room for a second

'cause you were getting indicted. l ain't getting indicted.

ls there a camera in here? No, that's a little paranoid.

That's right.

Will you take the bug off my Scotch bottle now?

Sure.
