Without telling anybody,
he flipped things around
so that Kennedy was facing west,
towards the New Frontier, the future.
Now, the mint struck about 3,000 of these
before they figured it out.
They canned the guy.
About 1,000 of them made it out
into general circulation.
They managed to get most of them back,
melt them down, but
There are still
200-plus floating around out there.
What's that? I didn't catch that.
I didn't say anything.
Do you mind, buddy?
We're having a private conversation here.
This one's not in perfect condition,
but on the open market,
I'd say it's worth 600 or 800 bucks.
$800?
Yeah, but I'm hard up,
so I'll take, uh, $100 for it.
You want me to give you $100
for a half-dollar.
I want you to give me $100
for an $800 coin.
Yeah, I don't know, man.
You know?
I'm gonna go drain the snake.
Think about it.
This guy's playing me, right?
Definitely.
Slick son of a bitch.
You know, I should
You know what? I know this guy on wabash
Coin dealer, a friend of my uncle's.
Hey, Joey, can I use your phone?
Local call.
Keep it short.
Right on.
Let's see.
Man.
I'm gonna call this guy, and
when he tells me this is a scam,
you know what I'm gonna do?
I'm gonna call the cops
and get this scumbag thrown in the can.
You're my witness, okay?
Facing west.
My hairy ass.
Hey.
How you doing?
Yeah, it's Alvin, Dave Tanner's nephew.
Yeah, mm-hmm.
Yeah, that's right.
Hey, this is gonna sound like
the beginning of a bad joke,
but, uh, I'm in this bar,
and I've got this guy
spinning this cock-and-bull story
about this, uh, 50-cent piece
he's trying to sell me.
He says, uh says Kennedy's supposed to be
facing west or something.
Yeah?
Yeah.
Mm-hmm.
At the tone, the time will be 5:11 P.
M.
Yeah.
That's what he said Denver.
Jesus.
No kidding?
- At the tone
- Well, listen, I got to go.
All right? Uh, thank you.
And I owe you one.
Thanks, Joey.
So, what did he say?
Yeah, you know, he
He didn't really know much.
I'll tell you what
I'll give you $50 for it.
$50? I'm taking a bath at $100.
All right.
Okay.
Look, I got $64 right here.
It's an $800 coin, okay?
I'm not gonna sell it to you for $64.
Okay, if you wait for me,
I'll get you 100 bucks.
- I don't know.
- Okay.
Hey, buddy, I got 75 bucks right here.
I I sorry.
I need $100.
Hey, slick, nobody's talking to you.
Mind your own business, okay?
- Come on.
- Cash money $80.
Look, if you give me a chance,
I'll be back with $110.
How long will that be? I don't know.
I got to catch a train, come back
- Hour, hour and a half at the most.
- Yeah, you know, this guy
- was getting ready to call the cops on you.
- No, I was not.
What? Why would you do that? That
Now this guy is making shit up!
Hey, I got $110 right here.
That's
- Sold.
- No! No, no, no, no, no, no.
This guy's got the cash.
Now
- Don't do that.
- Here, take care of that.
That's history right there.
- Hey, you can't do that.
- Hey, money talks.
You lost.
It's over.
No, it's not over.
No, that's crap.
And where do you think you're going, huh?
Hey, back off, dude.
Yeah, I'll back off
when you give me the JFK back.
Hey, Joey, call the cops.
This guy just tried to rip me off.
Hey, this guy's a liar.
I did not rip anybody off.
Yes, you did!
You come back in here,
and your ass is grass!
I got friends, buddy!
Do you hear me?!
You double-dealing bastard!
I got friends!
You are so beautiful!
Mwah!

All right.
Are you listening?
Can you keep a secret?
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Okay, his name is Idi Abbassi.
He's 27 years old.
He's a Nigerian prince, all right?
He's worth, conservatively, $400 million.
The dictatorship of equatorial Uqbar Orbis
is detaining him on trumped-up charges.
Now, the Abbassi family
They're going crazy.
They will reward whoever
helps them get their boy back.
The hitch is,
the banks have frozen their
Assets I'm talking Irish sweeps tickets,
a whole trunk full of 'em.
They're just sitting at O'Hare,
impounded in customs.
Now, I know what
you're saying "So what?"
I can leave this as security,
but you got to understand
This violin is my livelihood.
It's a valuable antique.
What do you mean it doesn't belong to you?
I'll pay you 900 bucks
for this cash on the barrel.
I don't know.
I hate to part with it.
It's been in my family for years.
