Las Vegas

Previously on Las Vegas...

I'm A.J. Cooper, and I just bought the place.

Some of you will stay, and some of you will go.

We're all toast. I feel it.

- Hey, Mike. - Hey, Mr. Cooper.

Ah, "Cooper."

Such a kiss-ass.

How long you worked here, Polly?

Long enough to see lot of hot, young girl turn into stinky old skank.

Thank you for sharing.

Why are you telling everybody I'm pregnant?

It's great news, Delinda. People are happy for us.

I don't know anybody who's actually had a baby on purpose.

- This whole thing isn't real to you yet, is it? - The baby isn't born until like next year.

It just feels like he's not taking this baby seriously, Mike.

Piper Nielsen. I wanted to introduce myself.

Concierge Cooper poached from the maloofs. Oh, strong handshake.

Nice eye contact. Long, thick lashes.

I don't date older guys.

That's good to know.

Cpr, lamaze, licking techniques... i am gonna know more

About parenting than just about anybody, including you.

I think it's latching, not licking.

To each his own. Hey, hey! Guys, guys, guys!

Hey, hey, careful! Hey!

Thing's a thousand years old, yes,

from the qin dynasty, if that means anything to you.

Wow, look at that.

Cooper's really going out of his way to impress these investors from Macau, isn't he?

That's smart, linking his interests in the Montecito

and the shining dragon resort and casino? Macau is the future.

Look at this.

So did you know that in the first six months of a baby's life,

they can distinguish more sounds than they can when they're fully grown?

- I did not know that. - Yeah, so they can

adapt to any human language.

That's fascinating... why the sudden interest in parenting?

D said that I wasn't taking the baby seriously.

And I ran out of magazines the other day when I was sitting on the pot.

I hate when that happens.

She left a parenting book sitting there, so I started reading it, and I gotta tell you...

The miracle of life, dude, is amazing!

- I mean, truly amazing. - I tried to tell you.

Yeah, I know, but back then it just didn't feel real.

But now it's like there's a baby moving around in there. I felt it kicking the other day.

Mikey, I cannot wait to meet this kid.

I can't wait to get this thing out of me, Sam.

I pee every ten minutes, my back is killing me, and I have heartburn that never goes away.

Who doesn't make u-Turns? That's american!

That's american like porn and apple pie.

Are you even listening to me?

Yeah, we all know your nipples hurt and you're nauseous.

Why don't you pay attention to me for once?

You made an illegal u-Turn in a crosswalk with kids in it.

Yeah, with kids. I had to tell those little kids to get out of the way.

Just pay it and stop complaining, okay?

That's not gonna happen. I gotta fight it.

- Where are you going? - I gotta go find my star witness.

Carter, I need something!

Hey, Mandy. You're still here.

Yeah, my dad's still organizing the luggage in the trunk,

So I ran in to get those earrings that you showed me in the jewelry store.

- Ooh, hot! - Listen, I better get back to work.

But hopefully, I'll be able to see you and your parents next year.

Can I get a picture of us?

I want to show everyone back home

the person who made my first trip to sin city so much fun.

Okay, fine. Where do you want me?

Over here?

Excuse me. Could you take our picture?

Oh, sure.

Oh, wait, you know what would be so cool?

If we could take the picture of me playing.

No, no, no, no.

I know I'm not 21, but it's just one picture.

Please, please, please, please, please?

- Okay, fine. - Thank you!

Wow, nice photo, really. I mean, good use of positive and negative space.

If it weren't depicting an illegal act, we could frame it, Mr. Mccoy.

Come on, the machine didn't even pay out.

Win or lose, the girl's a minor,

and Piper knowingly allowed her to gamble in your casino.

- Okay, what are we looking at? - You've got two options.

- Either pay the fine... - Which is how much?

A million bucks? Are you kidding me?

There's always option number two.

What's up?

Mandy Freemont. Nice girl.

- So you did know her pretty well? - Too well.

Her and her parents hounded me all weekend.

So you also knew that she wasn't 21?

Yeah, I know she's not allowed to play slot machines, but...

But you let her play anyway?

Danny, she was driving me crazy. I was just trying to get rid of her.

Well, you should know that the woman who took the photo

was an undercover gaming enforcement officer.

- I screwed up, didn't I? - Piper, you've been a good employee,

- and everybody likes you. - No, Danny, Danny, it was a dumb mistake.

I promise I will never let anything like that happen again. Please!

I'm sorry. I gotta let you go.

Danny.

If you need a reference, you can call me.

I no want go with you, Sam. Rather wide butt with angry porcupine.

Well, you have to, because you were in the car. You're my only eyewitness.

Yeah, I know. You saw kids and sped up. Lucky they run fast.

Policeman should arrest you, not give you ticket.

Okay, here's your story... no kids, no crosswalk. Remember that.

You want Polly to lie under oats?

Yes, of course! I mean, you may not have to.

The copy may not show up, and without his testimony,

- they'll probably drop the whole thing. - No, court scare me. You ever see judge Judy?

- All right, how much? - You say how much.

- 500. - No way. I make that in one hour.

- Give happy time to special client. - A thousand. Come on.

Okay, but I have two hour, then big cuticle disaster.

Take me all day like foreskin on cape Buffalo.

- You'll be back. I promise. - Okay.

So I heard you fired Piper.

I had no choice, man... how did you know that?

Piper told me.

She understood but was really upset.

I feel terrible about it, but what was I supposed to do?

And please do not say anything to Delinda.

- She's gonna hate me. - Yeah, of course.

She and Piper have become pretty close over the last couple of months.

- Hate coming right at ya! - Danny mccoy.

What do you have to say for yourself?

How can you put your head on your pillow and sleep at night?

I can answer that for you... you won't.

I had no... I had no choice, okay?

It was the gaming commission. They came down on me.

It was either fire her or pay a million dollar fine.

- What do you want me to do? - What's a million dollars to the Montecito?

That would be fiscally irresponsible. She's only been with us for a few months.

What's wrong? You okay?

Sorry. Acid reflux.

You still having the heartburn?

24/7.

I just wanna go home and lie down.

Yeah, but, uh, we can't bail on parenting class.

Why not?

'Cause I'm totally psyched for parenting class!

- Really? - Yeah! Hold on one second.

Hey, Cooper, what's going on?

I'll be right there.

Duty calls, babe, but, uh, so...

We're on?

I guess I can be miserable there instead of home.

That's my... that's my girl.

There's something you need to tell me?

She allowed a minor to gamble in the casino.

I see.

Gaming commission caught her red-Handed.

- Did you have any other options? - A fine.

- How much? - Million.

I'd say they were trying to send us a message.

Look, I know how much everybody liked Piper around here.

But given the circumstances, i didn't have much choice.

- You did the right thing, Danny. - I know. I know.

Now, hire her back.

'Scuse me?

Hire Piper back.

- What about the gaming commission? - I'll take care of it.

Furthermore, I'm ordering you to pay a fine in the amount of $275,

plus three days community service.

We be here all day. You told me ten minute.

I going to punch you in the ovary.

Next up, violation number k458q75.

Samantha jane Marquez.

Yes, your honor, I'm here.

Right. And so is officer hayes, I see.

- Oh, crap. - I thought you said cop not show up.

I was wrong!

Cop here, you screwed.

- How do you plead, Ms. Marquez? - Uh, not guilty, so...

And do you... have any evidence or any witnesses?

Uh, just one.

You were sick. That's why I made a u-Turn to get to the hospital.

I thought you say not do anything.

Please. State your name for the record.

- Polly Chae. I very sick woman. - Please proceed, Ms. Marquez.

Uh, Ms. Chae, on the day in question,

were you in my car traveling east on stewart avenue?
