• Ace Rothstein : I'm just curious. I saw you shuffling your checks with your right hand. Can you do that with both hands?

  Signaller : No.

  Ace Rothstein : Can't do it with both hands?

  Signaller : No, sir.

  Ace Rothstein : Can you do it with your left hand?

  Signaller : Well, I... I never tried.

  Ace Rothstein : So you're a righty?

  Signaller : Yeah.

  [one of the guards repeatedly bangs the signaller's right hand with a hammer] 

  Ace Rothstein : Now you're gonna have to learn with your left hand.

• [the winner is sent into the casino office, and sees his friend, the signaler, displaying a broken hand] 

  Signaller : Look what they did to my hand man!

  Ace Rothstein : [to the winner]  All right, I'm gonna give you a choice. You can either have the money and the hammer or you can walk out of here. You can't have both. What do you want?

  Winner : I just wanna get outta here.

  Ace Rothstein : And don't forget to tell your friends what happens if they fuck up around here. You understand?

  Winner : I'm sorry. I made a bad mistake.

  Ace Rothstein : You're fuckin' right you made a bad mistake. 'Cause if you come back here, if we catch either one of ya, we're gonna break your fuckin' heads and you won't walk out of here. You see that fuckin' saw? We're gonna use it. We don't fuck around in this place. You got it? Get outta here.

  Winner : [relieved]  Thank you.

  [Security escorts the winner off the premises for good, then tells the other security what to do with the man with the broken right hand] 

  Ace Rothstein : Throw him out into the alley and just tell the cops he got hit by a car.
