Lou: Is that the old Psychiatrist's Club?

Waitress: I think so.

Att'y: The old Psychiatrist's Club?

Lou: Old Psychiatrist's Club, it's on Paradise.. Are you serious?

Att'y: Oh, no honest, look at that car, I mean, do I look like own a car like that?

Duke: I don't know.

Att'y: All we were told was, go till you find the American Dream. Take this white

Att'y:… and it's a silly story to do, but you know, that's we get paid for.

Lou: Are you taking pictures of it, or…

Att'y: No, no-no pictures.

Att'y: Do you have any idea what it might be called? Or more or less where it might be located?

Att'y: We're staying at the Flamingo.
