ALEX: That's right. Get out of here and don't come back.

There's no more room in the front seat. pal.

Yeah. and there never was. pal.

Why did l do it? Why do l do it? Why?

Good evening.

-What are you doing? -l'm calling the doctor.

-You don't have to do that. -Yes. l do.

-Hi. This is Patti Warner. -l was that close.

Can l get ahold of Dr. Green?

That close to getting on. l blew it. l blew it.

Why do l do things like that? There's something wrong with me.

Now. l gotta figure this out. This is really crazy. Why do l do that?

Doctor? l'm in the Dr. lhivago suite. What's he gonna do?

He's gonna go out and give our money away.

-Give it away. -My friend cut himself.

lt looks pretty bad.

l was just wondering if maybe you could come up and take a look at it.

l'd really appreciate it. Thank you.

You're lucky you got away from me when you did.

Now you're happy.

Let me see that hand.

l want you to know. you meant a lot to me.

l just didn't have anything to give you. that's all.

There. l said it.

So what?

Hey. Harry. l'd like to straighten out our problem.

Look. l'm sorry about what l said before.

l'm sorry. l was upset.

Coming here and finding you with Jerry.

He's got his pants down. l should've laughed. Ha. ha. ha.

Then l got angry. see.

You forgive me. don't you?

Of course l forgive you.

You got a kid. huh?

Whew.

He's giving the money away to Harry.

So. what good is that gonna do?

Who's Harry?

Who's the father. Patti?

Who's the father?

Bernie Gold takes care of her.

And as far as Tosh is concerned...

...that's her father.

Good for you.

Why do you wanna go in here?

So we can have a little privacy.

That's good thinking. Harry.

You know. you ought to get rid of that creep Alex.

You could do a lot better than that.

Maybe. He's okay in my book.

Okay. l killed better people than he'll ever be.

Come on. That's enough.

What the fuck you touch--? Don't put your hands on me.

l just didn't wanna hear any more about Alex.

HARRY: l don't give a fuck about Alex. l don't give a fuck about you.

l changed my mind. l don't have the money.

What do you mean? Give me the fucking money.

-No. -Give me the--

Bernie is enjoying all this pressure as usual.

How's Tosh's cold?

She's getting much better. thank you.

Oh. that's good. She's a healthy little girl.

She'll be over it in a couple of days. Give her a big hug and a kiss for me.

-l will. -Take care. Patti.

You too.

You got lucky. young man.

l know it's just a puncture. but l'd still get that x-ray if l were you.

Yeah. yeah.

Where are you going? Where you going?

What are you doing?

Oh. Please.

Please what?

Please don't.

Please what?

Please don't.

l'll take care of the money with Bernie.

You just get out of here.

l don't know if l'm gonna do that.

It'll be okay. l promise.

He'll understand.

Oh.

Am l glad to see you.

l'm sorry. l'm sorry. so sorry. Jerry.

What happened?

We're in big trouble. l did it.

-l can't believe l did it. but l did it. -What--

What did you do?

What did l do?

l kicked the shit out of Harry. that's what l did.

l must have gone crazy.

What about the money?

What about the money. Jer?

l think l shoved some of it up his ass.

Up his ass?

How much?

JERRY: Not much. A hundred or two. ALEX: How much?

A hundred or two?

Jerry. you're beautiful. You are beautiful.

We're in big trouble.

We're still okay. Everything is all right.

l'm not gonna talk about it. -Let's not even think about it.

That's beautiful. Everything's okay.

You gotta help us out. You gotta stall Bernie for a couple of hours.

l thought Bernie wasn't coming back till tomorrow.

We're gonna go back out?

Yeah. You got the money? Yeah. But l lost my hat.

l'm not gonna help you.

Bernie is gonna get every penny. l promise you that.

Let's go.

l'm not gonna help you.

l gotta tell you. l never touched Patti.

Oh.

l never thought you did. Jerry.

Yeah. l did.

Ha. ha.

No. l didn't. l didn't touch Patti.

Smitty. they're here.

Smitty. you sweetheart. l know you can do it.

Are you ready?

Dr. lhivago. You boys have a good time tonight.

Hey. Alex. come on in. Make yourself comfortable.

Smitty.

Smitty. this is my friend and partner. Jerry Feldman.

-Oh. hi. Jerry. -Hi.

l don't know which is worse. you know...

...shaving every day or shaving every week.

This where he lives?

You get the money?

-Yep. -Oh. good.

Don't judge a book by its cover.

SMITTY: Hey. don't let this place fool you.

There was a time when l was a legitimate citizen.

Yeah. l was listed in the phone book.

l was married. had a house.

You know l was once an engineer?

Yeah. l built dams.

-l didn't know that. -Yeah.

l put all my mathematical knowledge together and put it into blackjack.

Yeah. and. oh. it paid off.

But listen. l'm a gambler.

Gamblers always wind up losing.

But l'm still the best one in this town.

Yeah. l'm a gambler.

But listen....

Oh. shit.

What's the matter?

l lost my razor.

Here is your razor. right here. Look. Iook. Iook.

-Right there. See? -Oh. thanks.

l don't see too well without my glasses.

Sometimes l think l need glasses myself.

Remind me to call Lillian.

Why?

Maybe we should talk about the split.

-The split? That's a good idea.

Well. l only work one way. Fifty-fifty.

l--

Smitty. l got a partner here.

lt's gotta be a third each.

A third each?

That's too tough for me.

-Bad heart? -Yeah. how'd you know?

Wild guess.

Sixty-forty.

SMITTY: That means you wind up with less.

Oh.

At least he hears good.

We're taking the risk. putting up the money.

We are taking a big risk here.

One of you is gonna handle the bets. and the other is gonna handle the bank.

-l'll handle the bets. -l'll handle the bank.

Oh. that's good. That's good.

That is good.

Now. each stack represents a bet.

An A is a hundred. B is 200. C is 500...

...and D. four. is a thousand.

Now. you see. so when l ask for A. you bet the first stack.

A hundred.

. Look. when the odds are in our favor you bet the third stack. 500.

You got that?

How do we know when the odds are in our favor?

What kind of question is that?

Look. it's a plus-minus situation.

Plus-minus situation. Jerry.

SMITTY: A is one. which could be 1 O.

B is two. which could be 20.

And D is four. which could be a hundred-thousand-dollar bet.

We're gonna kill them.

You know it.

Hold it. we gotta go around the back.

What's this about around the back? -We gotta go through the kitchen.

SMITTY: What do you mean. the kitchen? l'm not a waiter tonight.

l'm going through the front door.

Don't get lost. We'll see you in five.

l'm glad he got out. for our sake.

Driver. around the back.

Follow that cab.

Wait a minute. l got bags being put in the trunk.

Wait for your ass to meet your mouth. pal.

You got it.

Jeff. block one. 1 1 tomorrow. Forget next week.

That's it for this guy. That's it. Nick. John.

Mr. Gold. l tried to reach you on the radio.

The whole damn communication system went out after one damn telephone call.

We didn't know the meeting was cancelled till we got there.

l just wanted to remind you about the gaming commission.

They want their answer tomorrow. and they're gonna get it.

Thanks a lot. men. See you in the morning.

Hey. what a nice surprise.

Would you come on?

Will you come on? You wanna die here?

No. no. you don't wanna die here.

Come on.

What have you got against Lillian?

Wanna talk about that now?

Why not?

She's a pain in the ass.

Yeah. what else?

What else? She's selfish. Jerry.

She's selfish.

That's it?

She's a liar. She's a sniveling. ugly woman.

Like a piranha fish. She's a fish. Jerry. that's eating away at us.

Nothing is open.

That's all? No. It's your fault. because you--

You encourage her. So. what's the difference?

As long as you're happy.

She's taking care of her kids.

People shouldn't have kids if they're not responsible.

They're not your kids.

Kids are kids.

No.

Come on. Shit. The lion.

How much do l really mean to you?

About that much.

Come on.

Well. what is this shit?

l mean. why do you ask a dumb question like that?

Because l have to know.

Don't you know?

Good evening. Miss Warner.

-Mr. Gold. have you got a minute? -Just about.

Dean Martin's party is requesting six additional rooms for this evening.

We're just booked to capacity. What do you wanna do about it?

Hey. fellas.

l'd like to get a couple of things straight here.

-Who are you two maniacs? -Maniacs?

They're just some guys we owe some money to.

Get these two guys on the first plane to anywhere.

Just get them out of my sight.

l don't ever wanna see you two guys again.

Don't ever come back here again.

Hey. get my hat.

You're happy. are you. Alex. huh?

Give this to him and tell him to put it away. sonny.

Okay. now the way l see it. you owe me 20.OOO bucks.

What are you talking about?

Well. l'm willing to give you a break.

Look. Mr. Gold.

Just give us what we won. take out whatever you want.

How about that?

Let's get another thing straight. You didn't win anything.

The only man who won here is the waiter. and he's dead.

That money goes on ice. it's frozen until the courts decide who gets what.

-What you talking about? That's my money. -That's the law.

You can't push people around and steal from them.

Both of you ought to be in jail. l'm trying to save your ass here.

l've got it under control.

-We won that money. l've got it under control.

We won that money.

The waiter won that money.

We won that money.

Smitty Carpenter's the greatest gambler the world has ever seen.

And he won that money for me.

l don't believe you.

Can't you understand that money isn't yours?

You people are all wrong here. You're stealing from a dead person.

-Everything you say is wrong. -Alex.

Everything you say is wrong. -l gotta talk to you.

-l don't wanna talk. l just want my money. -Just listen to one thing.

Patricia has a little girl.

Her name is Tosh.

She's your daughter.

lt's your little girl.

What's that supposed to mean?

l want my money. Don't think l'm gonna make things any easier for you.

Work it out on your own-- -l don't want your help.

l want my money. BERNIE: You're not getting it.

Smitty won that money for me. Did he win that money for me or what?

l can't deal with this guy. -He won the money for me.

Jerry.

-Alex. please listen to me. -l don't wanna talk to you.

-Please. -Jerry.

-Please listen to me. -l don't wanna talk to you!

Please. Jerry. please. l don't wanna talk to these people.

He's trying to understand you. and he's been extremely kind.

-Okay. -For once in your life. please--

JERRY: He's never gonna understand. he ain't really trying.

-He's trying. Jerry. -Yeah. well....

Mr. Gold. l don't want your money.

And. unfortunately. he does. but that's the way he is...

...and. uh. l can't help that.

But he's my friend. and l take the good with the bad.

l think we should get out of here. Alex.

How about that?

You gotta know who your friends are.

Hi.

About the money. it'd be better for both of us...

...if l give some cash in the morning.

Don't worry about it. your friend took care everything.

He's really a sweet guy. you know.

He did.

How do l get out of here?

Thank you.

Bye.

JERRY: l gotta thank you. Alex.

That was the greatest thing.

Forget it.

Alex. what do you say we stay over a couple of days?

You know. that girl liked me.

Well. l mean. really liked me.

We're leaving in the morning. Jerry.

ls something the matter?

Where'd you get the money?

What money?

The money for the broad.

l'm a resourceful human being.

What. do l have to tell you everything?

Did you cash another check?

No. l did not.

You should have.

Bernie would've covered it. Son of a bitch would've covered anything.

Well. that wouldn't be right.

Good night. Alex.

PATTl: Honey. this is a very good friend of mine. Mr. Kovac. right here.

And over here is Mr. Feldman.

This is Tosh.

Hi. baby.

Are you okay?

Yeah. l'm okay. You know what happened to me?

l was crossing against the light.

You don't wanna ever do that.

You don't wanna ever cross against the light.

Remember that.

Where are you from. honey?

Las Vegas. Nevada.

Las Vegas. Nevada?

You know where l'm from? Me and Jerry. we're from New York City.

Hear that siren? They have a lot of sirens like that in New York City.

Noise all the time. That's where they have the tall buildings. New York City.

My daddy goes there all the time.

Your daddy goes there. huh? Your daddy's a....

-He's a nice man. -You are too.

l'm gonna get a cab. Taxi.

-Can l go play with my teddy? -You sure can.

Goodbye. Patti.

You should marry that guy. He's loaded. you know.

Okay.

That guy was wearing my fucking hat.

Come here.

Another one.

Another one.

Okay.

You know. pal. that was some move you made when Harry had his gun out.

That's nothing like the move Smitty made.

Doubling down on a solid 20?

The guy's got a six showing.

Did you see Smitty's face when he got the five?

How'd he know that was a five?

How did he know that was a five coming up?

How did he know?

He knew. That was the old plus-and-minus situation.

My name is Smitty Carpenter.

You owe me t500.OOO.

One moment. please.

John. the figure is 486.300. not the half.

Okay.

Will you get your head out of there?

Would you like me to get a security guard to escort you out of the casino?

SMITTY: It's all right.

No. thank you.

Las Vegas is a lot of fun. isn't it?

Goodbye. we're going.

Bye. Las Vegas.

-Hello. boys. -You did it. Smitty. you did it.

Here.

Here you are. my friend.

Don't spend it all in one place.

l didn't think it was this much.

God bless you. Smitty. God bless you.

Have a good time.

Someday.
