- How you doing, man?

f*cking exhausted, that's how I'm doing.

Yeah. Well, I got some good news.

Pretty good month, Dice, okay?

shows at grand a pop,

minus the monthly payment to us,

minus the compound interest,

minus the requests in your rider,

so we're talking about
the Skittles, the combos,

- the sparkling waters.
- Wait, wait, whoa.

Brioni, you're gonna
charge me for water?

I'm not, but the new
owner of the casino is Latvian.

Every single penny
must be accounted for.

So we tally it all up,
and you owe us $ . .

$ . ? What, are you f*cking kidding me?

I do shows, I still owe you money?

This f*cking contract is
k*lling me. You understand?

I'm not the one who's paying
off my gambling debts, Dice.

Brioni, they got me bent
over backwards on a barrel

with my balls in a bunch.

What am I gonna do here?

Actually, I think it
would be bent forward

- over a barrel.
- No.

And I don't think the
balls were factored in.

Listen, don't goof on
me. This is bullshit.

All right. Look, I'll
do you a solid, okay?

I'll... I'll waive the $ . .

Ah, you think you're going
to have something over me?

I-I pay my debts.

I'm not gonna walk around a casino

and you're going, "Hey,
guess who owes me $ . ?"

Or whatever the f*ck.
You got change of $ ?

I don't even give a f*ck. Here you go.

The lesson you were trying to teach me.

Oh, yeah? What was the lesson?

Marathon sex.

We haven't had marathon sex.

running down Nostrand Avenue

handing out candy to
the smaller children

and fetching cigarettes

who were too old to go out
and buy them themselves.

You were such a nice boy.

Oh, thank you. I appreciate that.

So? What happened?

How did you turn into such a shegetz?

What did you say? A shegetz?

This Dice that you
created is abomination

that you birthed into
the world, for shame!

Wait a minute, Rabbi, I
thought we were friends.

Mm. We were, until you birthed

unto the world this horrible Diceman.

This... This golem that
you continue to nourish

with a steady diet of
vulgarity and obscenity!

A curse on you!

Hey, look, I-I might not
be everybody's cup of tea,

- You're a shegetz.

No, you listen to me, shegetz.

we're letting you out of your contract

with the Tangiers,
Dice. You're a free man.

What about the money?
What about my debt?

- What debt?
- My debt.

- What debt?
- The debt that got me

in the problem in the first place.

No, no, no. I meant it like,

"What debt?" Like, I don't know

what you're talking about.

- Huh?
- Jesus.

You don't have any debt
is what I'm saying, okay?

You don't owe us any money anymore.

Oh, my God, Brioni, you're the greatest.

We should celebrate. Come
downtown. I'm having...

Oh, my God. Babe, babe.

Big news. I don't owe
the Tangiers anything.

They don't want me. It's over.

They're going to make some
kind of f*cking sushi joint.

And you know I don't believe in fish.

- Right?
- Andrew, that is great news.

Babe, we got to play
some Kool & the g*ng.

Oh, I thought you'd never ask.

- Come here.
- [Exhales Deeply]

Come here.
