  • Novian : [after Novian's bodyguard pushed Brandon off his bicycle and is holding down on the ground]  I didn't reconize you without the suit John

  • Brandon Lang : [in the living room inside Novian's mansion]  Let's start with how much you bet

    Novian : A million a game across the board

    Novian : Is that the ceiling here? is that the most we're working with?

    [looking out the window] 

    Novian : do you rent that yacht?

    Novian : No, I own it

    Brandon Lang : That's how I feel about this weekend and I'm not being cocky I'm being straight commerce with you, I didn't come here to bullshit you got some inside information I know these teams better than they know themselves I'm going twelve for twelve this weekend and that includes the Monday night parlay

  • Walter Abrams : We need a bat light like one of those signals that shoot up into the clouds no matter where you are no matter what time of day just look up and say "hey Walter needs me" because I must have beeped you a hundred fucking times

    Brandon Lang : Who were they?

    [Sarcastically] 

    Brandon Lang : the Salvation Army, how does someone go one for eight? A fucking monkey tossing darts could do better

    Brandon Lang : What's with all the money?

    Walter Abrams : I got a plan, we take all your picks we reverse them like one of those twilight zone episodes where everything is the opposite you say "black" we go white

    Brandon Lang : How much is there?

    Walter Abrams : [Holding up stacks of cash]  peanuts, two hundred seventy five thousand that's how desperate I am

    Brandon Lang : What happen to the two million?

    Walter Abrams : Two million? I was carrying twice that in red ink before you even showed up, look around you everything you see is smoking mirrors I got three mortgages on this house what do you want to know? I'm gambling again

  • Brandon Lang : [On the TV show]  This is John Anthony, the million dollar man with the billion dollar plan, from Wall Street to Tokyo to Hollywood all your big money is going to stay and play with me, that's right, that's why they call me "the million dollar man", I can't say that, someone wrote some very clever stuff for me here like the "the million dollar man", so let's just call me John, I play quarter back division one and every QB knows the secret, the key to victory is anticipation, the ability to see the future and react to it, that is what I do, and that is the truth, for over one year I have been picking eighty percent winners unbelievable? Used to be, I know the leagues, I know the teams, I know the players, I know this wonderful game called football, call the number on the bottom of the screen and ask for John, let's make some money.

  • Walter Abrams : [inside Walter's office]  There's half a dozen games left I want you to watch every second of every minute of every one of them so sit down, you know how you go three and eleven don't you? You go three and eleven when you make Sunday's picks on Tuesdays it rains in Cincinnati on Saturday two starting quarterbacks never got to play, that's how you go three and eleven, you're a handicapper not a psychic

    Brandon Lang : We still got Monday night parlay

    Walter Abrams : Fuck Monday night fuck the parlay this isn't about that it's not about me it's about the commission thing

    Brandon Lang : I don't know about that

    Walter Abrams : Don't bullshit me, I'm going to bump you ten percent ok? You earned it this is dangerous territory we're getting into, you understand that? But I'm going to bump you now talk to me about Monday night because everyone and I mean everyone is going to double down after the hole you just put them in

  • Brandon Lang : [Brandon driving Toni to work]  let me ask you a question, when you're not at the salon or bringing Julia to play dates or keeping Walter in line which I know is a full time job, what do you for you?

    Toni Morrow : I stay busy

    Brandon Lang : That's not what I asked what do you for you?

    Toni Morrow : I was a junkie so every day I get up I wonder "is this the day? Is this the day i slip? End up back on the street?" just keeping it all on track that's what I do for me

    Brandon Lang : Well that's not living that is maintaining, that's cashing in that's not living

    Toni Morrow : What the hell does that mean? Are we talking "perfection" here?

    Brandon Lang : I'm not talking "perfection" nobody's perfect except for me last weekend going 14-0

  • Toni Morrow : [Referring to Walter, while dining at a fancy restaurant]  He's gambling

    Brandon Lang : Yeah

    Toni Morrow : He's gambling I just can't believe it I never saw it coming I just couldn't stop it

    Brandon Lang : I've got to win one more game

  • Walter Abrams : I'm looking for a car for my friend

    Mercedes Dealer : Let's see what we can do, Mr. Anthony?

    Brandon Lang : [while posing as John Anthony]  Yes sir

    Mercedes Dealer : Do you have any credit?

    Brandon Lang : [amused]  No

    Mercedes Dealer : [to Walter]  of course not, I don't know, can you trust him?

    Walter Abrams : With my wife: NAKED

    Mercedes Dealer : [to Brandon]  In that case the floor is yours

  • Brandon Lang : [Celebrating after wining twenty for twenty]  You the man big papa.

    Walter Abrams : [hugging each other]  I love you forever.

    Brandon Lang : How much of that cash would be for me?

    Walter Abrams : How about a one with five zeros behind it?

    Brandon Lang : [surprised and disappointed by the low amount]  A hundred grand? On two million?

    Walter Abrams : You'd be working out of my "shop".

    Brandon Lang : Yes sir I am this is your "shop", I'm just saying feed the horse, maybe ten percent?

    Walter Abrams : [amused]  Ten percent? Is that what you're thinking? That's a beautiful thought, forget it.

  • Walter Abrams : [over the phone]  congratulations you went nine and two last Sunday. I don't know if you know me but I run the biggest sports betting service in the country and I'm a big fan of yours, as a matter of fact I got a poster of you on my wall

    Brandon Lang : This is a joke right?

    Walter Abrams : No this is not a joke, this is a job offer in your top drawer there's an envelope with your name on it, inside the envelop there's travel cash and an airline ticket, this isn't a magic trick I paid someone to put it there Who incidentally told me that the place you work in reminded him of a Turkish prison. All I'm asking you is to come up with a number, you write down the number of what you make now, then you cross it out and write what you should be making. Then you toss in what it's going to take you to fly to New York first class and come work for me. Now focus because with your injured knee, a comeback is just a dream my offer is real.

  • Walter Abrams : [to Toni while walking with her and Brandon]  Will you stop worrying we're set for life we've got "Jimmy the Greek", here he makes Nostradamus look like a fucking novelty act.

    Brandon Lang : Have you been blocking any of my calls?

    Walter Abrams : Of course you don't need distractions right now a lot of crazies out there.

    Brandon Lang : Does that include my father?

    Walter Abrams : If you're asking me, I'll tell you, yeah it does.

    Brandon Lang : You son of a bitch, for how long?

    Walter Abrams : About two weeks would you have taken the call if I put it through?

    Brandon Lang : That's not the point.

    Walter Abrams : Then what is the point? I'd like to know, what's the story with you and your father?

    Brandon Lang : You tell me you seem to know.

    Walter Abrams : Well I know pieces, that's about all I know, I was just trying to spare you.

    Brandon Lang : Spare me? What are you going to spare me from? He was a God damn drunk he left when I was nine I couldn't compete with his bottle: end of fucking story, so don't spare me nothing, if I want to talk to him I will.

    Walter Abrams : My father broke my nose three times, and Toni's childhood wasn't any better, she was abused by everybody in her family except the family dog, your father a drunk, and a jerk so what? It happens, I'm glad I blocked those calls you know why? You need a new image of a man, how about me?

    Brandon Lang : [Toni starts laughing]  That's a scary fucking thought.

    Walter Abrams : Listen, the shit that happened to you, to me and to Toni you know what that is? We're just that fucked up, you've just got to say that out loud "we are just that fucked and we're not going to take it anymore".

  • Brandon Lang : [to Toni while gently holding her hand]  Will you have dinner with me tonight?

    Toni Morrow : I'm married to Walter.

    Walter Abrams : Ooooo... bogey.

  • Brandon Lang : Should I call somebody?

    Walter Abrams : Yeah, in case they have a spare heart.

  • Walter Abrams : Do you understand?

    Brandon Lang : Hell yeah I understand. I'm John fucking Anthony: I've got a crystal ball!

  • Brandon Lang : [to Walter After leaving the gamblers anonymous meeting]  What the fuck was that?

  • Walter Abrams : [On the TV show]  Hello everybody and welcome to the big weekend. Never before in this industry has an offer been made like the one I'm about to present to you now. I am so confident for John Anthony's picks for this Sunday. I am so sure about the skills his brought to bare and so anxious for you to get on the phone and dial the toll free number and for the first time in sports adviser history I'm going to guarantee our picks this weekend.

    Brandon Lang : What's that mean?

    Walter Abrams : What does that mean? It means this: you tell us how much you're betting with your bookie you lose, we cover, you heard me right that's risk free.

    Brandon Lang : Wow, that is all I can say, the phones are going to be flooded and they should be.

    Walter Abrams : Hey, John why don't you run down the pit falls facing the average better because when you think about it, a game this huge all the added dynamics without your expertise I guess the average better might as well just flip a coin.

  • Brandon Lang : [in Brandon's office while looking at his pick sheet]  What's your mother's name?

    Mitch : Shelia.

    Brandon Lang : What street did you grow up on?

    Mitch : Atlantic Avenue

    Brandon Lang : Who do you like Monday night?

    Mitch : I don't know.

    Brandon Lang : Pick one.

    Mitch : That's your job.

    Brandon Lang : I'll do your job tomorrow, today you do mine, who do you like Monday night?

    Mitch : What are you talking about?

    Brandon Lang : Seattle versus New Orleans, stop stalling who do you like?

    Mitch : I guess Seattle, plus the two points

    Brandon Lang : Over or under?

    Mitch : No you can't do that

    Brandon Lang : No I can do that, over or under? Its forty four points

    Mitch : Over

    Brandon Lang : [Hands him the pick sheet]  Seattle in the over, nice

    Mitch : I'm not going to turn that in there's like a million dollars riding on that game

    Brandon Lang : There's like a whole lot more than that, we all know I can pick, today I'm picking you and the outcome will be the same

  • Brandon Lang : [Narrating]  I remember that day. And, believe it or not I remember that hit because of the smile it put on my dad's face. To my dad, sports was a religion, but to me, it was about purity. Sports was a place where all wrongs could be made right. I thought if I filled the whole house with trophies for him, he'd stick around. And when I did, he left before my tenth birthday.

  • Brandon Lang : [Narrating]  I've been a quarterback since Pee Wee football, I've set high school records and won state championships. This was perfect: The championship game on national TV, pro scouts in the stands and I knew exactly what going to happen.

  • Brandon Lang : [Narrating]  Football wasn't a sport, it was my life. I wasn't going to give up. I would play again. In the meantime, I needed a job to hold me over between tryouts. Then one day and it didn't take long, six years had passed and I woke up at the bottom. I got a job recording messages for nine hundred numbers also called "audio text", the racket had a lot of names, it was sports handicapping. I would predict winners for people who bet. The guy was sick, so I was just supposed to record his picks. The thing was, I didn't agree with them, living in Las Vegas, it was easy to gauge the temperature of the betting public. The problem with the betting public is that they are usually wrong.

  • Brandon Lang : [Recording his audio text]  Kansas City is seven and one against the point spread versus the division opponents coming off Monday night game take KC minus the six call me tomorrow for my pro football game of the year. That's right here at nine hundred six five six until then good night and good gambling.

  • Brandon Lang : [referring to which team Stu should bet on]  Where's the action this weekend?

    Stu : It's either Tampa or Oakland, everybody's jumping on Oakland right now.

    Brandon Lang : That's crazy, that game's going to be won by coaching.

    Stu : Whoever put that Oakland team together used to play with Tampa right?

    Brandon Lang : Yeah, he knows every strength and every weakness, he knows Brown only likes to catch the ball over his left shoulder so his going to have to double team to the defend his right. He also knows Cannon only throws on three step drops so he's going to stack in the middle of the field with line backers, take away the short pass Cannon's going to throw three maybe four long passes on Sunday.

    Stu : Oh fuck me.

    Brandon Lang : You took O- town didn't you?

    Stu : Yeah what'd you think?

    Brandon Lang : I think I've got to save your ass one more time, take Tampa Bay Monday night they're going to win this game out right, so bet it big.

  • Brandon Lang : [Looking at his paycheck]  I went nine and two in pro football on Sunday to get my third straight Monday night parlay, it's worth twelve bucks an hour.

    Steve : I don't even make twelve an hour

    Brandon Lang : You're not picking seventy five percent

    Steve : If you're that good why don't you bet your games and get rich and send me a postcard from the Riviera.

  • Brandon Lang : [Narrating, referring to Walter's job offer]  With mom holding two jobs and Denny wanting to go to college this looked like a chance to make some real money besides I've never seen New York and New York's never seen me.

  • Walter Abrams : [Over the phone]  Alright double it, triple it, no everything is about money, this Sunday my little girl, an angel turns six, this isn't is going to happen again, she love elephants your circus has ten. I only need one, my little girl's happiness is in your hands. I don't need parenting advice from a guy who doubles as a clown. I need an elephant. I'm willing to pay what it'll take to "grease your wheels" to get one here this weekend.

    Walter Abrams : [Hangs up the phone frustrated] 

    Walter Abrams : [to Brandon]  you look like your in great shape

    Brandon Lang : I've been better

    Walter Abrams : Your modest too, modesty is not a virtue could be a vice, there are rules to success, you ever sell before?

    Walter Abrams : Are you religious?

    Brandon Lang : I believe in God.

    Walter Abrams : [yelling to his secretary Liz in the next room, referring to Brandon]  this is me thirty years ago right? Remarkable resemblance his a little taller, I'll give him that,

    [to Brandon] 

    Walter Abrams : you do anything other than the sports phone in Vegas?

    Brandon Lang : Just the nine hundred number recordings, ten bucks a call

    Walter Abrams : That's chump change, we're after much bigger fish here, the networks don't talk about it, government can't tax it but sports betting is a two hundred billion dollar a year business, there's a lot of gamblers out there and they have needs, they call us every Monday morning after a losing a Do you know why Monday Night Football is the most watched sport throughout the season? And after a losing weekend, they have big needs: gargantuan

    [Turns on the TV] 

    Walter Abrams : That's every football game played last Sunday, do you know why Monday Night Football is the most watched football game of the week? because Monday is the last chance betters have to climb out of the hole they got themselves in, in order to pay their bookies on Tuesday sports betting is illegal in forty nine states including this one but what we do is not, we are one hundred percent legal, like stock brokers only instead of touting stocks we advise people how to bet, if a client wins by taking our advice we get a percentage and they'll gladly give it to us because they want to keep getting the advice but if they lose we get "zip", so the object here my dear tall athletic friend is to win.

    Brandon Lang : I can do that.

    Walter Abrams : [Changes the channel to watch his own TV show]  That's my cable show airs Saturday and Sunday nationwide we tape Thursday and Friday, what's going on with my hair? My barber did it again you got one part of my head in Cleveland and the other part in Chicago, what are we going to do with this guy? My barber should be shot I want him dead

    [jokingly] 

    Brandon Lang : If all the picks are "free" why not charge a fee upfront initially?

    Walter Abrams : You make a good point, next question

    Brandon Lang : What's on the second floor?

    Walter Abrams : That's where we "print" the money anything else?

    Brandon Lang : No I think I got it, everything's crystal clear.

    Walter Abrams : I like you, this thing's going to work

    Brandon Lang : I'm looking forward to it

    Walter Abrams : You ever have a manicure? There's a girl you've got to meet

    Brandon Lang : Yeah? What's she like?

    Walter Abrams : She's beautiful you're going to like her.

  • Brandon Lang : [Referring to Walter's prerequisite of Brandon getting a pedicure and manicure in Toni's beauty salon]  This was his idea?

    Toni Morrow : Yeah I know.

    Brandon Lang : He makes all of his employees do this?

    Toni Morrow : Yeah every one of them.

    Brandon Lang : How often?

    Toni Morrow : Once before they start work.

    Brandon Lang : Weird.

    Toni Morrow : You think so?

    Brandon Lang : I've never had my nails done before.

    Toni Morrow : I can see that but you've got strong hand that's nice, do you drink?

    Brandon Lang : [Surprised by her directness]  excuse me?

    Toni Morrow : Alcohol, are you a drinker?

    Brandon Lang : I have a beer every once in a while.

    Toni Morrow : Smoke?

    Brandon Lang : No.

    Toni Morrow : What about gambling?

    Brandon Lang : What about it?

    Toni Morrow : I'm sorry I'm just a little pressed for time here, I asked, do you bet? Are you a better?

    Brandon Lang : No.

    Toni Morrow : Really?Why not?

    Brandon Lang : Are you here full time?

    Toni Morrow : Yeah this is my shop I better be.

    Toni Morrow : Why don't you gamble?

    Brandon Lang : I did once, I wagered everything I had and I lost and when I lost and I swore I wouldn't do it again.

  • Brandon Lang : [jokingly]  I'm not going to start this relationship off by lying

    Toni Morrow : That's good because Walter could definitely use someone with a little resolve in his life.

    Brandon Lang : He told me I was coming down here to meet a nice lady...

    Toni Morrow : I'm sure he did, that's ok I'm going to kill him when I get home. I mean he has a bright big beautiful spirit though and you will love working for him but he is held together by meetings if it has "Anonymous" at the end of the he goes he has to he also has to be very careful on who he lets into his life, in most ways Walter is brilliant but he can be bullshitted but I can't so he sends them to me before he hires them.

    Brandon Lang : So this was my interview?

    Toni Morrow : You're swift

    Brandon Lang : How'd I do?

    Toni Morrow : I would say perfect, congratulations

    Brandon Lang : Thank you very much

  • Walter Abrams : I'm going to start you off on the nine hundred numbers same gig you had in Vegas you make your picks you record them once a day Monday through Friday five times a day on the weekend, each call is worth twenty five bucks a shot we're doing about three dozen hits a week that's nothing we should triple that, before you get into your test copy I got a few words for you your pitch sucks, no offense but you've got potential so we've got to find a way to "bust you out" and we're going to start by giving you a new name: John Anthony, it just came to me, the "million dollar man"

    Brandon Lang : What's wrong with "Brandon Lang"?

    Walter Abrams : Nothing's wrong with "Brandon Lang" it's just that he's still living with his mommy, John Anthony's living large, he don't hold back his got a direct line to God and for a measly twenty five bucks a call his going to let the world's losers listen in.

  • Walter Abrams : What's your sales pitch?

    Brandon Lang : [telling Walter his sales pitch]  This is John Anthony, "the million dollar man" from Wall Street to Tokyo to Hollywood all your big money stays and plays with me sit back and relax because it's a scud attack this weekend and I'm going to shell your book maker.

    Walter Abrams : [disappointed]  It's a start.

    Brandon Lang : It's a start?

    Walter Abrams : What can I tell you?

    Brandon Lang : If that's not what you want, then you need to find someone else to sell and just let me pick

    Walter Abrams : It's not about what I want it's about what Brandon wants

    Brandon Lang : If I hear that I'm calling this number.

  • Walter Abrams : [In a restaurant]  Anyone who goes twenty for twenty four college football twelve for fourteen professional football,l a hundred and seventy five calls on the nine hundred number you can call "Bruschetta" whatever you want, you ever have a thousand bottle of wine?

    Brandon Lang : No

    Toni Morrow : It's a waste he hardly drinks

    Walter Abrams : It's a celebration just because he's out with a couple of reformed drunks that doesn't mean he can't enjoy himself

    Toni Morrow : I was a lot of things I never was a drunk

    Brandon Lang : Actually truth be told I never had a twelve dollar bottle of water

    Walter Abrams : He thinks we're fighting

    Toni Morrow : Yeah he does

    Brandon Lang : [Raises his glass to Toni and Walter]  This is great, look, all of this thank you

    Toni Morrow : [referring to Brandon, to Walter]  Watch out he's a fixer, what'd the doctor say?

    Walter Abrams : If you really want to know I've been meaning to tell you, I went yesterday he seemed very concerned, he sat me down and looked into my eyes and asked "who do you like in the Buffalo/Oakland game?

    Brandon Lang : [laughing]  You tell him Buffalo?

    Walter Abrams : [to Toni]  you haven't touched your sauce its chocolate I hear it's good for you

    Toni Morrow : I'm not raising our kid alone

    Walter Abrams : Don't be dramatic in Biblical times you'd move in with my brother Morty

    Brandon Lang : [Sees Alexandria from across the room]  I like her a lot I think she's extremely cute

    Walter Abrams : "Beauty and the beasts" she's looking at you

    Brandon Lang : So are those two guys she's with

    Walter Abrams : I'll bet you ten to one on a thousand you can't pick her up that's ten thousand cash if you leave this restaurant with that girl

    Toni Morrow : I got a better idea why we don't we just go to Atlantic City and open a house account? You know you can't gamble

    Walter Abrams : Who's gambling? I haven't flipped a coin since the eighties this is just a challenge

    Brandon Lang : Ten thousand, cash?

    Walter Abrams : What are you going to do?

    Brandon Lang : I'm going to introduce myself

    Walter Abrams : "John Anthony" can "close" her.

  • Walter Abrams : Ok now you're ready, now you're going to the second floor this is where we print the money, this is where the sales people turn a ten dollar better to a thousand dollar better before he knows he even made the phone call. I got three guys who can pick games, twenty guys who can sell, I never had a guy who can do both but now I do

    Brandon Lang : You mean me?

    Walter Abrams : Not you, I'm talking about "John Anthony"

    Brandon Lang : "John Anthony" doesn't exist

    Walter Abrams : I'm shocked because I'm standing in his office and your sitting in his chair

    Brandon Lang : So you want me to sell like those guys out there?

    Walter Abrams : Yes big betters don't want to talk to middle men they want to talk to the guy giving them the picks, there's a few choice phrases we use and just start with those like this one: "I don't want your money I want your bookies' fucking money", say it back to me.

    Brandon Lang : "I don't want your money I want your bookies' money"

    Walter Abrams : That's not bad, what happened to "fuck"?

    Toni Morrow : That's right just think it over and don't decide now

    Brandon Lang : If it's the only move, it means I've got to do a little acting I'm cool with that

    Walter Abrams : No, no acting this is living you didn't hear me from here on out Brandon Lang and his fettuccine knee and self fucking pity is as flat dead as Donald trump's hair and John "I can walk on fucking water "Anthony has taken his place.

How do you fucking live with yourself?

  • Walter Abrams : To cover my losses, I just got a loan from a guy who works out of a bar on a hundred and sixth on Broadway, the trouble with me is I started betting you heavy after you won a hundred percent and I rode you right to the fucking toilet.
