Rosalyn reaches to have her glass refilled by Dick Helsing when one of the other guys NUDGES her hip in her tight dress and she drops into Pete Musane’s lap.
91.
ROSALYN ROSENFELD Hey Irving, I’m going to be having fun. Maybe it will be contagious.
Irving turns and heads with dread towards the back door with Carmine, Richie, and the Sheik. Sydney, worried about Rosalyn with Musane, decides to hang back.
125 INT. CASINO BACK ROOM -- NIGHT 125 SLOW PUSH IN ON POWERFUL LOOKING: BALD MAN IN SUNGLASSES, LIGHT GRAY SUIT, DARK TIE -- STANDING BY HIMSELF.
CARMINE, RICHIE, SHEIK, IRVING ENTER A HALF FINISHED BACK ROOM. PUSH IN ON IRVING.
VICTOR TELLEGIO: Carmine!
IRVING ROSENFELD (V.O.) Victor Tellegio was from Miami. He was Meyer Lansky's right-hand man.
In his prior reputation as an enforcer from twenty years ago, he was known to never bury a body because he felt it sent a stronger message to leave it in the street.
FLASH BACK TO: 125A EXT. STREET - NIGHT 125A YOUNGER TELLEGIO WALKS LAUGHING WITH A COLLEAGUE, LETS COLLEAGUE GET AHEAD AND TELLEGIO SUDDENLY PULLS PISTOL, FIRES THREE BULLETS WITH MUZZLE FLASH INTO MAN’S HEAD, MAN GOES TO GROUND, TELLEGIO FIRES ONCE MORE, DROPS CLIP FROM GUN AND SPITS ON BODY, WALKS DIRECTLY TO CAMERA MENACING. NOW BACK
TO:
IRVING ROSENFELD (V.O.) This is the guy we now had to deal with.
125B INT. CASINO BACK ROOM - CONTINUOUS 125B RESUME PUSH IN ON TELLEGIO AS A COUPLE OF BUSBOYS SET UP AN IMPROMPTU TABLE AND CHAIRS. Carmine greets him.
92.
CARMINE POLITO: You sure you don't want to go into the Ocean Bar? It's really, it's beautiful in there.
VICTOR TELLEGIO: I'm very happy I don't have to go there. I like it here. There's an exit. I'm like a ghost. Nobody knows I'm here.
Busboys whip open a white table cloth for the table.
Everyone sits down. Tellegio looks at the Sheik, then over to Richie.
VICTOR TELLEGIO (CONT’D) Tell him I speak for our friends in Florida. We're very excited. It's been our lifelong dream to build casino resorts on the East Coast.
Richie pretends to translate in the Sheik’s ear.
VICTOR TELLEGIO (CONT’D) You told him that? They didn't want the Jews to make money, they didn't want the Italians to make money, definitely don't want the blacks to make money. After the oil embargo -- the gasoline crisis -- the hijackings, the Olympics, they don't want to see Arabs make money, trust me, not on our soil. You can tell him this in your own way: I've been in the casino business forty years. It's scrutinized more carefully than any other business.
Carmine made this legal, but we must be careful or they'll take it away.
CARMINE POLITO: So, Mister Tellegio, how do you think we should approach this? What do you want to do?
VICTOR TELLEGIO: If you want to get the gaming license and keep it we have to make our principal investor here, the Sheik, an American citizen.
93.
Irving and Richie both look at Victor intensely not sure where this is going.
