Another scene that is serious yet has darkly humorous overtones is one of the outtake scenes when Al Neri goes into the casino to 'move out' Klingman. He walks up to him and slaps his glasses off his head, if I remember it correctly and then chases him across the casino floor, in full view of everyone, slapping him and generally humiliating him completely. Then they go into a room where the showgirls are practising and Neri sits down and tells the girls to continue. He is the new king.
