"Marty Supreme, Marty Mauser (Timothée Chalamet) goes back on his deal with Milton Rockwell (Kevin O'Leary) to purposefully lose an exhibition match against his rival, Koto Endo (Koto Kawaguchi). Rockwell tries to remind him who holds the cards. "I was born in 1601. I'm a vampire. I've been around forever," he says. "I've met many Marty Mausers over the centuries. Some of them crossed me, some of them weren't straight. They weren't honest. And those are the ones that are still here.""
"O'Leary, better known as Shark Tank's Mr. Wonderful, has long claimed that he improvised this line, and on December 31, 2025, Business Insider reported that O'Leary came up with this backstory. "I have to be a vampire in this movie, and I have to give him eternity in misery," O'Leary said. He even claimed he had his teeth molded for custom vampire fangs before that part of the scene was cut."
Marty Supreme delivers an intense viewing experience with indelible images such as the bathtub shot, Rachel in the phone booth, the honey anecdote, and a final needle drop. A late-scene throwaway line spoken to Marty reveals a startling supernatural claim: Milton Rockwell asserts a centuries-long vampiric identity. Kevin O'Leary has maintained that he improvised that backstory, saying he even had custom vampire fangs made and described wanting to curse Marty with eternity. Josh Safdie later indicated that the line was not always intended as a non-sequitur and that the movie's ending could have been markedly different.
