Sam 'Ace' Rothstein fires Don Ward (Casino - 1995)

Ace Rothstein : Four reels, sevens across on three $15,000 jackpots. Do you have any idea what the odds are? Don Ward : Shoot, itโ€™s gotta be in the millions, maybe more. Ace Rothstein : Three fuckinโ€™ jackpots in 20 minutes? Why didnโ€™t you pull the machines? Why didnโ€™t you call me? Don Ward : Well, it happened so quick, 3 guys won; I didnโ€™t have a chanceโ€ฆ Ace Rothstein : [interrupts] You didnโ€™t see the scam? You didnโ€™t see what was going on? Don Ward : Well, thereโ€™s no way to determine thatโ€ฆ Ace Rothstein : Yes there is! An infallible way, they won! Don Ward : Well, itโ€™s a casino! People gotta win sometimes. Ace Rothstein : [grows more irritated] Ward, youโ€™re pissing me off. Now youโ€™re insulting my intelligence; what you think I am, a fuckinโ€™ idiot? You know goddamn well that someone had to get into those machines and set those fuckinโ€™ reels. The probability of one four-reel machine is a million and a half to one; the probability of three machines in a row; itโ€™s in the billions! It cannot happen, would not happen, you fuckinโ€™ momo! Whatโ€™s the matter with you? Didnโ€™t you see you were being set up on the second win? Don Ward : I really thinkโ€ฆ Ace Rothstein : [interrupts] Wait! You didnโ€™t see that you were being set up on the second win? Don Ward : I really think youโ€™re overreactingโ€ฆ Ace Rothstein : Listen, you fuckinโ€™ yokel, Iโ€™ve had it with you. Iโ€™ve been carrying your ass in this place ever since I got here. Get your ass and get your things and get out of here. Don Ward : Youโ€™re firing me? Ace Rothstein : Iโ€™m firing you. No, Iโ€™m not firing, Iโ€™m firing you, yaโ€ฆ Don Ward : You might regret this, Mr. Rothstein. Ace Rothstein : Iโ€™ll regret it even more if I keep you on. Don Ward : This is not the way to treat people. Ace Rothstein : Listen, if you didnโ€™t know you were being scammed youโ€™re too fuckinโ€™ dumb to keep this job, if you did know, you were in on it. Either way, YOUโ€™RE OUT! Get out. Go on, letโ€™s go.
