While watching Casino recently. During one of my favorite scenes when Pat Webb (L.B. Jones) was chatting with "Ace" Rothstein (Robert DeNiro), and trying to get his brother-in-law's job back. It occurred to me that it was mildly similar to the Pat Geary and Mike Corleone meeting. They both tried to remind Rothstein and Geary, they were guests in Las Vegas and were only endured by the local powers to be, for a price. Of course with Casino, good old boy Pat Webb, got to show who's boss. Even the senator (Dick Smothers) got away with nary a scratch.


"Mr. Rothstein. Your people never will understand the way it works out here.
You're all just our guests. But you act like you're at home. Let me tell you somethin', partner... you ain't home. But that's where we're gonna
send you if it harelips the Governor."
