[players meet with Attell to collect their money before game one]
It's all out on bets.
Chick Gandil
[Shoves Attell]
That's not good enough!
Abe Attell
Hey! Don't worry, you'll get your money soon enough.
Chick Gandil
When?
Swede Riesberg
And how much?
Abe Attell
A hundred grand, like I said. Twenty after each game.
Happy Felsch
Wait a minute, that's five games. I thought we were just dumping a few.
Abe Attell
No, you lose the first three.
Eddie Cicotte
Kerr's pitching the third. He's not with us.
Swede Riesberg
So, what? We don't hit for him, he'll fold. He's a busher!
Abe Attell
After that, we gotta play it by ear. We gotta make this look good, fellas....
Eddie Cicotte
[quietly to Gandil]
Chick, where's the money I asked for?
Chick Gandil
Look under your pillow.
Eddie Cicotte
What?
Chick Gandil
Compliments of Sport Sullivan.
