TRAILER
“So, how much is this thing gonna run me? The belt’s $49.95 minus 15%, the jacket’s five hundred and.. three hundred and sixty five.. minus 10% for shoes were just marked down from $155, so you are looking at $1,042.68 cents… I’m pretty good with numbers. [Ben Campbell was the most gifted student at MIT].. I’ve never had a student as impressive as you… [but there were some problems he couldn’t solve]… three hundred thousand dollars for school? Where am I gonna get that kind of money? [Until the day he was given a chance] You have to follow me now. So, is this some kind of a math club? You ever studied blackjack? Are you talking about counting cards? As a team, yes. When? On weekends. Where? ..Welcome to Vegas!”
