03x01 - Seeds of Expansion

[bunniefuu]

I always thought Spencer
was rolling in it.

The car, the house, the clothes.

He went broke for me?

He went broke a while before that,

but he gambled his last chips on you.

You said when you took the
job that you were doing it

to protect players.

SPENCER STRASMORE: I did take
this job to protect players.

And because I was f*cking broke.

You got hives. Welcome
to the front office.

I'm gonna let you
purchase a piece of ASM.

The thing is, I need a loan to do it.

All right. I'm good for five mill.

You sure you're cool with this, Rick?

Yeah, yeah I am.

- Fifty-fifty proposition.
- Fifty-one, forty-nine.

- Thank you.
- All right.

ANDERSON: What's happening?
Don't do that.

- (VOICES OVERLAPPING)
- CHARLES: I'm open.

Whoo!

RICKY: Let's go, Spence.
D up! D up, baby!

- JAY: Come on!
- Ow!

SPENCER: You're gonna get hurt, Chuck.

That sh*t did hurt. It's a foul.

That wasn't no foul. That's a clean rip.

- Our ball.
- Wow.

It's always your ball, though, right?

Damn right. Game point, m*therf*ckers.

- Let's go.
- What's wrong with him?

You know what? Lock up.

All right, back me up.

Step out. I got the help in the middle.

- I got the help.
- D up. Help me.

- Splash! Splash!
- ALL: Whoa.

- Game.
- Man, that's a charge.

That wasn't no m*therf*cking charge!

- My house, my call, man.
- For real?

- f*ck out of my face.
- Always cheating, man.

- I'm gone.
- What?

Yeah, me, too, man. Let's go, Reg.

- f*ck this game.
- Yeah, f*ck this game.

Eat your Wheaties, m*therf*cker.

What you complaining about?
You on my team.

- This m*therf*cker is my ride.
- I'm out of here.

Great game, son.

Thank you, Dennis. Thank you very much.

Thank you, Rick.

- Loving the pad, man.
- Yeah?

Hope it's got an infirmary.

And a full rehab center.

Might need to add a nursery.

What are you talking about?

You remember Amber?

Shorty with the Pac tattoo? Yeah.

Yeah. She's late.

At least I think she is.
She won't call me back.

Yeah, now it makes sense why you've been
playing like Draymond Green out there.

I ain't ready for no kid, Spence.

I mean, even if I was, I
wouldn't want one with her.

I mean, she bad as hell and all,

but stability is not her specialty.

I told you a thousand times, Ricky,

you got to cover that little man up.

I thought I did. I can't
remember when I didn't.

Besides, you always bag it?

No, but my pullout is
straight 100, brother.

Come on, man,

you ain't never hit the
bull's-eye, not once?

- Never.
- Damn, that's crazy.

Are you sure you got swimmers?

sh*t.

I mean, seriously, how do you know?

How we looking with
that new deal, though?

- We're looking good, man.
- Yeah?

- Me and Jay were all over New England.
- The hell I'm talking about.

I love when a manager's a
step ahead of the game.

Let me tell you something else.
That other thing?

You don't have to worry about that.
I'm gonna take care of it.

You promised full payment of
the five mil the first year.

I'm on schedule. I'm gonna pay you back.

- (PHONE RINGING)
- (CHATTER)

Morning, boss.

JOE: There's my man crush Monday!

What the f*ck? You okay?

No, I'm not okay, all right?
I'm a little strung out today.

Oh, really? I take it the pick-up
game at Ricky's wasn't relaxing?

Well, he wants to know how we're looking

with paying back the f*cking loan.

Oh, Jesus...

(SIGHS)

You ever hear that old saying

"never lend friends and family money"?

Yeah.

Well, maybe the more
important adage should be

- don't f*cking take it.
- Yeah, okay.

I got three months to make good on my
word, okay? And I plan on doing so.

Told you not to promise.

Steph Curry's on line 1 for you.

Steph Curry. MVP.

- MVP.
- Take it.

- (PHONE BEEPS)
- Steph Curry.

The baby-faced assassin.
What's going on, brother?

What up, Spency-Spence-Spency-Boo?

What's going on?

Hey, me and Ayesha got
a couple of days off.

We're going down to the
Albany in the Bahamas.

Hey, Spence. Grab a girl, come with us.

Hey. Well, I'll tell
you right now, Ayesha,

I'm a little light on travel
companions these days.

AYESHA: Spence, don't play me.

You know I saw you on
your game the other night

at International Smoke.

Buy one, get one, Hot Wing Tuesday.

Or in your case, Hot Girl Tuesday.

- I never forget.
- Ha. Gotcha.

Nothing gets past my girl
at that restaurant, Spence.

No, I heard that. But, brother,
listen, I am in time-out.

It's a very sad but true story.

Hey, well, listen, we'll
be in Miami for the night.

We should get together and do something.

Love to. Name the time and place.

Yo, we can even talk some business, too.

You know, my Slyce
digital media company.

Love it. I'm beyond excited.
I will see you tonight.

You, uh, hit me when you touch down.

- Safe travels.
- All right, my man.

You thought it was a date night.

Just trying to get you
in the mile-high club.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

I didn't know you knew Steph Curry.

Well, I know a lot of guys you
don't know that I know, Joe.

All right? I've been chasing
after Steph for years.

He'd be the perfect guy to build
our hoops business around.

Ah, so this is the next step
in your global domination.

Well, it's all about expansion, Joe.

Plus, it'll be a good opportunity for us

to pay back Ricky and Vernon
before the end of Q4.

Oh, hey, you don't have
to justify it to me, pal.

We're both big boys with big
appetites and big balls.

It's just that yours are a
little bit bigger than mine.

Yeah, well, I'm gonna take
these big, heavy nuts

and I'm gonna go over
here to Anderson's office

- and loop him in.
- Have fun.

MARK SCHLERETH ON TV: It's that
time of the year again, folks.

Since the Chargers...

You don't wait for a response

before entering the boss's office?

Partner, Mr. Anderson.

Junior partner, Spencer.

Hey, what do you think of all
this NFL expansion talk?

Well, I think it's a big opportunity for
anybody to get their hands into it.

Really?

Mexico, China.

They're really gonna send
the Jaguars to London?

No. Doubtful. Not with Brexit.

Huh.

Who would have thought

such a barbaric business
could be so sophisticated?

Yeah, it's a high-stakes business, Mr.
Anderson.

The future of these
cities depends on it.

Just like the future of ASM depends on
what kind of moves we make here at home.

And what kind of moves are
you thinking of, Spencer?

Steph Curry.

He's flying in and, um,

I thought we'd have dinner
with him tonight, me and you.

Uh, I have a dinner tonight with
Wayne Hastings, so no can do.

- Sorry.
- The casino guy?

The casino guy, Spencer.

One Wayne Hastings is
worth 10 Steph Currys.

- Believe me.
- Okay, well,

we're not in the casino business, Mr.
Anderson.

We're in the sports business.

Well, actually, we are
in whatever business

I want to be in.

See, I have a different vision for us,

and that involves a magical little oasis

in the middle of the
desert known as Las Vegas.

I've been after this Wayne Jr.
prick-f*ck-cocksucker

for, like, decades to sell me a stake

in his gaming empire, and
his father before him.

Remember, house always wins.

And I want a wing in that mansion.

Athletes and gambling, it just...
doesn't fit.

Well, it fits for me.
You'll make it work.

Mr. Anderson, I seem to
remember way back when,

when you said you would be
nothing but supportive of us

and you said that you would be
a strategic partner for us.

You even happened to say
that you would be a closer.

I need you to help me close Steph Curry.

(SIGHS)

You know what? We can
help each other out.

You use your charms, help
me close Wayne Hastings,

and I will close the two-time MVP.

- Done.
- Good.

Bring him to dinner tonight, 7:00.

- You got it. We'll be there.
- Oh, and, Spencer?

Remember, you may have goals,

but I have...

bigger ones.

Hey, hey, there he go.

- What up, Chuck?
- This our year, Lonnie.

- I'm telling you.
- Yes, you tell it.

Hey, Jack Moore. How's the off-season?

- You have a good one?
- No, I didn't.

- Oh.
- I guess that's still going.

What's that mean?

It means Siefert's speech
about family and loyalty

was bullshit.

You got fired?

What gave it away?

The cardboard box with
all my stuff in it?

Oh, I'm sorry, Jack.

I didn't mean to sound insensitive.

Man, there's no room
for sensitivity here.

Oh, but don't sweat it.
You Siefert's boy.

You got nothing to worry about.

How you figure that?

He plucks you from the trash pile

and moves you to the front office?

Must be a reason for that, no?

Uh...

Have a great season, Charles.

Yo, man, look what the
tooth fairy dropped off.

Who lost a tooth? I
didn't lose no tooth.

This sh*t is dope.

It's soft as f*ck, man. It
feels better than cotton.

Yo, man, feel this sh*t.

Damn. This is good quality.

But I wasn't expecting
nothing like this.

What's wrong with it?

I mean, this sh*t is cool, Reg,

but it's a little in-your-face.

Yeah, 200 grand in your face.

I don't know, Reg.

Maybe we should ask Spence.

What the f*ck for, man?

We know Spencer's Dr. No.
What's the point?

- Maybe you're right.
- Of course I'm right.

We're not doing nothing wrong
but looking out for ourselves.

Now, if we don't do it,
who the f*ck gonna do it?

Spencer would.

He right about that.

Man, who the f*ck asked you?

Make a sandwich or some sh*t.

We gonna do this sh*t or what, man?

(MUSIC PLAYING OVER RADIO)

(TIRES SCREECH)

(ENGINE TURNS OFF)

(MUSIC PLAYING OVER RADIO)

Amber!

Amber?! (KNOCKING)

Why ain't you returning any of my calls?

Maybe because I don't
wanna talk to you, Ricky.

Don't you think you...

don't you think you need to talk to me,

given your situation?

- My situation?
- Yeah.

Don't you mean our situation, assh*le?

Hey, no need to get excited, all right?

I just wanna know, are
you or aren't you?

So, you aren't here
because you actually care

about me or your unborn child.

You only give a damn about yourself.

- So that's a yes.
- That's a no, loser.

So you can stop your recon mission.

Oh, you think you're relieved.

(SCOFFS) Well, I'm relieved, too,

because you're not exactly
my top choice of baby daddy.

Oh? Who'd top me?

Oh, let's see. There's, uh...

there's Jimmy who walks my dogs.

There's Roger who bags my groceries.

Hell, I'd take TTD if he'd stop blazing.

You're lying.

I never lie.

Whoa, whoa. Look, I'm sorry, all right?

I know I came off like an assh*le.

Truth is I do care.

And I would care if you
were carrying my baby.

You swear?

I swear.

Okay.

I take back what I said, too, then.

Good.

You look good.

You look good.

♪ I know you're in love with me ♪

♪ I know you're in love with me... ♪

Everything looks great, Spencer.

- Hey.
- How's the mobility?

I feel great. I might
suit back up again.

(CHUCKLES) Pain?

Uh, 2 out of 10.

Cut way back on the Vikes.

- Great news.
- Yeah.

Yeah, and, hey, thanks
for making me go bionic.

- My pleasure.
- (CHUCKLES)

Anything else bothering you?

Well, um, it's kind of delicate.

Not your field.

Never stopped you before.

(CHUCKLES)

Lay it on me.

We'll see what I can do.

All right. Uh... (CLEARS THROAT)

It's the, um...

it's the area between my hips.

I see.

Erectile dysfunction?
Urinary incontinence?

God, no. Come on, Doc. Hey.

It's, um, fertility.

Are you trying to get someone pregnant?

Nope, not even in a conversation.

Then what's the issue?

I never have.

No close calls?

Nope. I mean, all these years,

I thought I was a master at
precision timing, but, um,

it seems like that might
not be the case, and, uh,

it's got me thinking.

About?

Fatherhood.

I mean, I might not be
ready for it now, but...

one day down the line, I
might want to plant a seed.

And... and as any good
farmer will tell you,

you plant a seed and nothing grows,

it's just a real f*cking bummer.

(BOTH CHUCKLING)

Completely understood.

You're in luck.

There's a fertility doctor
just down the hall.

Dr. Dester's one of the finest around.

Let me see if I can get you in there.

Right now?

Okay, I'll just... I'll
just tell it to you

like you would tell it to a rookie.

All right? Set it straight.

It's time to downsize.

Downsize what?

House, for one.

- I got three houses.
- There you go. Exactly.

You got three houses.

Now, I know that you can
play for 10 more years.

- 20.
- I have zero doubts about that.

But at some point,
it's gonna end, right?

You got three houses.
Just dump two of them.

I'm not dumping my Miami
or my Scottsdale house.

Why? They're both warm weather places.

Yeah, but one's wet and one's dry.

I need that sh*t. It's
like a steam and sauna.

To exfoliate my skin.
Keep the elasticity.

- That's the trick?
- That's the trick.

Uh, okay, what about the
Baltimore house, then?

I ain't dumping my Baltimore house, man.

That city been good to me.

Yeah, stay loyal to the community.

- Exactly.
- You're an adult.

You need to make tough
adult choices now.

So, you need to decide

whether you want a lot of space now

or a little bit less space,
but for a lot longer.

SIEFERT: Entrez.

Ah, Sir Charles.

Heard you been waiting
to see me all day.

What's on your mind?

So, I ran into Jack Moore this morning.

How was he?

He was fired.

Yes, he was, Charles.

We're making moves.

Heading in a nouvelle direction,

as they say.

Anything I need to know about?

I'm teaching myself French.

You know that "no" means the
same in French and English?

Same as the word direction.

I know that "oui" means "yes."

Had a girl say it to me once.

The answer is no, Charles.

There's nothing you need to know.

Other than we need to do a better
job than we did last season.

If we don't, we may be
out of jobs ourselves.

Yeah, people are talking.

I mean, what are we telling them?

Good question.

Here's a list of talking points.

We're holding a press conference

for local sports writers and media.

Mm-hmm.

I want you to take it.

Take it?

As in, like, talk to the press?

Oui, Charles. Oui.

- (PHONE BUZZES)
- Yeah?

VIRGINIA: Boo boo, take a deep breath.

Steph's office called.
He's gonna have to push.

- All right, how late?
- "Some other time" late.

Are you serious?

Riley's team made it to
the basketball finals.

f*ck. This is the fifth
time he's done this.

What was that?

It's nothing.

Can you let Anderson's
office know, please?

Right away.

And, Virginia? I hate my life.

Hang in there, boo boo.

I'll let you know what Anderson says.

Thanks.

- (KEYBOARD CLACKING)
- (CHATTER)

(DOOR CLOSES)

(CLEARS THROAT)

(WHISPERS) Hi, um,
it's Spencer Strasmore.

Yes, we've been expecting you, Mr.
Strasmore.

Please fill this out.

It's gonna be a few minutes.

The collection rooms are running behind.

Of course.

Have you ejaculated
in the last 72 hours?

Excuse me?

I think you understand the question.

(PHONE CHIMING)

I'll, uh... I'll be right back.

Hmm.

Mr. Anderson.

Why did you promise me Steph Curry

when you didn't have him? Why?

Well, I didn't actually promise, Mr.
Anderson.

Well, I told Wayne that
Steph Curry was coming.

He went berserk.

So do me a favor, Spencer.
Just f*cking fix this.

- Okay?
- (CHUCKLES) This is a joke, right?

No, this is no joke. I
do not joke about money.

Been having the same dinner with
Wayne prick-f*ck Jr. for five years.

For five long years, I have
been pitching this casino thing

to deaf ears.

He needs to hear a new voice.

So you just find me someone else

who can pop 35-footers.

In fact, if you do that, Spencer,

I will pay off your
debts to your friends.

You got that?

- Loud and clear.
- Good. Let's f*cking do it.

Please. (PHONE BEEPS)

WOMAN ON PA: we need
some assistance, please.

(SIGHS)

in room 12.

- (CHATTER)
- (MUSIC PLAYING)

All right, man.

Next.

Hey, what's up, little man?
Want me to sign those?

Yeah, but sign them on the bottom.

I don't want to ruin their value.

(SCOFFS)

Hey, Vernon, can I ask you a question?

Let me guess. You wanna know
where Zack and Deke at, right?

Hell, no. You're my favorite player.

I am? Prove it.

40 solo tackles, 9 1/2 sacks.

Oh, and I like the way
you call sacks "snacks."

- All right.
- Wow. Thanks, kid.

What I was gonna ask is, where
you all get them hoodies?

Yeah, they're f*cking dope.

Oh, we don't sell those
here, and we never will.

- Well, you should.
- That kid's a fashionista.

Well, adios.

Hey, little man.

Catch.

- ALL: Oh.
- MAN: Oh, yeah.

Byron, what's Dwyane Wade's number?

That's easy. He's number 3.

His cell phone, Byron.
Fix your f*cking tie.

- Track down Spoelstra for me.
- Got it.

Hey.

How's that hip doing, huh? Any rust?

- Hip is A-okay.
- Wow.

Even with all this Southern
Florida humidity, huh?

So, you missed a delightful
lunch with Sizz.

(SIGHS) Ripped me a new assh*le
in the middle of Greenhouse

when I told him he had to downsize.

(WHISPERS) This client service
thing is really taking its toll.

Yeah. Tell me about it, Joe.

I f*cking lost Steph tonight
for Anderson's dinner,

and now I got to text Pat Riley to
see if any of the Heat are in town.

Jesus!

When's it gonna end?

Spencer, we run a major
financial institution.

I thought we were done
being party wranglers.

This is why we need to
own our own assets.

Yeah, preferably ones that don't
breathe and tear their ACLs.

All right, I need to find
somebody impressive enough

to help Anderson close Wayne
Hastings Jr. tonight.

Uh, okay. Here's a crazy idea.

How about yourself?

Oh, what?

So you're not 7'9"

and the only thing you
dribble is Don Julio?

So what?

Wayne Hastings should f*cking blow you

for all the money you've
lost at his tables.

Okay, oh, so you're not
LeBron or Giancarlo Stanton

or Maria f*cking Sharapova,

but you're still Spencer
f*cking Strasmore.

You are the asset.

You just gave me chills, Joe.

You're absolutely right.

You know what?

If all this isn't good enough for him?

To hell with him.

Yeah, I admit... this?

More than enough for any man.

And besides, what's in it for us?

Well, Anderson's gonna pay off
our debt to Ricky and Vernon.

That's it.

Oh, you better close
this Wayne m*therf*cker.

(CHATTER)

(CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING)

- Hi.
- WOMAN: Was Jack Moore fired?

(ALL CLAMORING)

I'm sorry, one question
at a time, please. Sorry.

Wh-who are you? What's your job title?

I'm Charles Greane, assistant GM.

And, uh...

and...

and today, the
organization made a change

in the coaching staff.

And we are now moving
in a new direction.

And what direction is that?

The opposite direction

of the one we were moving in before.

- Why are we talking to you?
- Where's Larry Siefert?

Yes. No to you in the back.
And maybe to you.

- What was your question, sir?
- Did Coach Berg sign off on this?

Oh. (CHUCKLES)

Uh, hmm.

(WHISPERS) Chuck, let me. I got this.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Coach Csonka.

Let me start by saying there
is no power struggle.

This organization stands
linked shoulder-to-shoulder.

I'm here from the coaching
side, representing Coach Berg

and joining Charles and Mr.
Siefert's whole team

in saying we are committed to winning.

And we will stop at nothing
to bring another championship

to our great fans like
we did in the past.

Thank you all very much for being here.

Let's get off the stage.

I didn't mean it when I said
if I was gonna have a baby,

you wouldn't be high on my list.

Yeah, I knew that.

Yeah, you did call me out on it.

Truth is I think you'd
be an amazing father.

Everything I do is amazing.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Yeah, you do.

You know what?

If I were gonna have a baby mama,

I'd want her to be just like you.

- For real?
- For real. I mean, look at you.

- You gonna have a pretty baby for sure.
- (LAUGHS)

Yeah, it makes me feel so
good to hear you say that.

Good. I want you to feel good.

I wanna make you feel good, too.

That's why I wanna be straight up.

Well, you could always be
straight up with me, Amber.

Okay. Well, good.

'Cause I lied when I
said I wasn't pregnant.

I am.

I thought you said you never lie.

Well, I lied when I said that.

Well, are you sure the baby's mine?

- I mean, do you even know?
- It's yours, Ricky.

I haven't been with anyone else,

and I know your narcissistic
ass can believe that.

(CHUCKLES) I had to ask.

I'm gonna be by your
side the whole time.

You promise?

♪ Ain't no such thing
as too fast for me... ♪

- (CHATTER)
- (MUSIC PLAYING OVER STEREO)

- True.
- Hey, here he is.

Gotta hand it to you,
Bret, you stepped it up.

The scenery is much better
than that gay pride party

you hosted in Palm Beach.

It wasn't a gay pride party.

You were with that crazy Colombian.

That would be my wife,
and she's Slovenian.

Is there a difference?

- You must be the new partner.
- I am.

Spencer Strasmore, meet
Wayne Hastings Jr.,

the one and only.

Ah, Wayne, it's a pleasure to meet you.

You know, Mr. Anderson says
great things about you.

Yes, I do.

I used to watch your
games with my old man.

You were a serious force.

Ah, well, I like to think I could
still light 'em up, Wayne.

I think you can.

I gotta tell you, I'm a
big fan of your hotels.

As a matter of fact,
every time I'm in Vegas,

uh, I like to heavily contribute.

And we appreciate that.

- Sure.
- Hey, can we talk about

that freaky water show
that's at the steak joint?

- That's nasty.
- Wayne, this is my partner, Joe Krutel.

Hey, which makes me Mr.
Anderson's partner as well.

Nice to met you, Joe.

So I hear Steph Curry
won't be joining us.

That's too bad. I'm a big hoops fan.

I know, and I apologize to you,

but you have my word I'll
make it up to you one day.

I promise.

Speaking of that water show,

how is it you keep coming up
with these different concepts?

It's just... it's fantastic.

It's easy, Bret.

I just close my eyes and dream big.

I did the same thing and I wound
up working for Mr. Anderson.

Ah, you should dare to
dream bigger, Spencer.

Ah, there you go.

We go down table,

and everyone say something
they are grateful for.

And after each, we drink.

Why don't you start us off, Joe?

Okay.

Um, ahem, let me see here.

Uh, I... I am, uh...
I'm so very grateful

that, um... that we live in a country

where a man is presumed innocent
until he is proven guilty.

And sunny days.

(LAUGHTER)

Um, I'm grateful for piece of world.

I think you mean world peace, hon.

- No, I want piece of world.
- Oh.

You gotta love a woman who
knows what she wants.

Hey, Spencer, why don't
you throw on some Speedos

and dive into the deep end here?

Sure.

All right. (CLEARS THROAT)

Well, I have a lot to be grateful for.

Um, first and foremost,

I never thought that I
would ever see myself

at a dinner party like this.

I mean, ever.

You know, where I came from,

I never thought that I'd make
it past my 21st birthday,

let alone ever having a life like this.

Is that true?

Have you ever been to
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, Wayne?

I think I passed it on
the way to Saint-Tropez.

- Ah.
- (LAUGHTER)

Well, it sure as hell ain't
sun and sand, my friend.

I was... I was, at best, destined
for a life in the mills,

working with my adopted dad.

And what changed?

Football.

Football gave me a life
that I'm very proud of.

It also gave me a career that I
felt extremely blessed to have.

You're an American success story.

You know, just like your
father and yourself.

The only difference is after the game...

I found myself right
back where I started.

But as luck would have it,
the universe delivered,

and delivered to me Mr. Anderson.

And without this man,

I wouldn't have the opportunity
that I have today.

So, sir, cheers to you.

- I'm very grateful.
- Wow, wow.

Thank you.

I can go on forever about
what I'm grateful for.

But in addition to the race
cars, the speed boats,

the buildings bearing the Wayne name,

I'm grateful for guys like Spencer.

Real men who roll up their sleeves

and grind it out.

So, this is a toast to you, Spencer.

Thank you.

You out here reflecting
on those Bethlehem days?

Nah, just getting a little fresh air.

You gave a good push on Bret's behalf.

He really should appreciate you.

Ah, just wasn't only on his behalf.

Anderson's business is my business,

and he wants in on your business.

Look, Wayne, you could do a lot worse

than Bret Anderson as your shareholder.

Well, if his business is your business,

- let me ask you.
- Yeah.

What can you bring to the table

other than capital and opinions,

because I can raise money
anywhere, Spencer,

and the only opinion I like is my own.

Okay.

Sports, Wayne.

Sports rules the world.

My dad always used to say,
"p*ssy rules the world."

Your dad's a smart man.

But, you know, times have changed.

They certainly have.

Anderson's been after me for years

to get into my business,
my father before me.

The truth is he didn't need
anyone, and neither do I.

People will look to give
away money to casinos

from now until the end of time.

But I do like you, Spencer.

So, who knows?

Maybe there's something else
we can work on in the future.

- Yeah, maybe.
- Yeah.

Wayne, let me ask you something.

How would you feel about bringing
an NFL team to Las Vegas?

I love that idea.

I love that idea.
