Question about the movie Casino......

[mb23100]

After he first marries Ginger he gets a safety deposit box full of cash full of "shakedown" money. He gives Ginger the only key so even he can't access it. Later this proves to be a mistake but my question is why wouldn't he just set it up so both of them could access it? What's the point of him not being able to get to it?

 

[chubbman]

It’s a trap.

Her having the only key was to see if he could trust her.

Of course he could not trust her.

Can’t trust no bitch.

 

[Pliny Pete]

It sounded better to say he would most likely be tied up in a closet when the money was needed so she has the only key
Plus it led to a tense chase style scene when she withdrew it
Probably the only reasons

 

[GeorgeO]

As a sign of his trust in her. After all he was very much in love with her, if I remember correctly.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

because the blue berry muffins need equal amounts of blue berries.

Do you know how much time that's going to take?

Exactly.

Or maybe there are some bank safes that only allow one key to be out.

 

[SRN]

That money was to save his life or to get him out of trouble if he couldN't do it himself.

 

[CerebralKnievel]

It was all a setup. Joe Bob Briggs was actually in that box.

 

[KONG-D'SNT-TAP]

Milk fed veal

 

[KILL KILL]

Because it's a movie and more dramatic that way.

 

[Hearse Lightning]

Where I'm from they drive you out into the cornfield and beat you with a baseball bat for asking questions like this.

 

[emefer]

I think they explained it in showgirls.

Well my point was why not make it so they can both get it? What if she gets kidnapped? Like someone said maybe you can only have one person on the account which would explain it

 

[FierceRedBelt]

@therealdope should have answers for this mystery.

 

[Zer]

We all make stupid decisions when we're pussy whipped bro

I think he gave her the only key not that he didn't want to keep any key because she had it and was enough. Anyway, that was in case something happened to him and he couldn't fix it. Example, he was kidnapped and she needed to pay for his life.

Spoiler

Been answered. It was a test and with her just in case he was kidnapped.

 

[Liquid Smoke]

Women test us all the time. He was the only one smart enough to test them back.

Yep, pure genius that guy who married and knocked up a drug addict hooker who robbed him blind, took millions, and OD'd broke a few months later.
