Eight Men Out1988

Abe Atell:
They say that six or seven guys. I find that hard to believe.

Arnold Rothstein:
Doesn't surprise me.

Abe Atell:
Yeah, but they're the champs.

Arnold Rothstein:
You were champ and you went down for the bucks.

Abe Atell:
This is different.

Arnold Rothstein:
Let me tell you about these guys. I grew up with them. I was the fat kid they wouldn't let play. "Sit down, fat boy'. "Sit down, you might learn something." Well, I watched, and I learned and pretty soon, I owned the game. Now those guys I grew up with come to me with their hats in their hands. Tell me, champ, all those years of puggin', how much money did you make?

Abe Atell:
The honest fights or the ones I tanked?

Arnold Rothstein:
Whatever you made, I made ten times that amount betting on you and I never took a punch. Not one.

Abe Atell:
Yeah, but I was champ. Featherweight champeen of the world!

Arnold Rothstein:
Yesterday. That was yesterday.
