10. I made it through Las Vegas

Just barely.

But then back in New York, some years later I think, and this guy is pretty much a crook. Look, I know he had a hard-ish life, what with his weird father and dead mother, but the old guy took him in and taught him well, and living with the rich folks didn't hurt all that much, and while he was essentially on his own in Las Vegas, he seemed generally okay. But then to see him back in NY essentially running cons on his customers, well, it was just irritating.
