("Alfred Hitchcock" theme music)

- Good evening.

I am organizing a key club.

It seems to be the thing to do.

For the uninitiated, a key club is one

which members can enter only if they possess a key.

These clubs are terribly exclusive,

since membership is limited to men.

My club is completely different, it is for women.

Inside the club is everything

a woman could want, including me.

You see, I am the club's only bunny,

but enough of my troubles.

This evening's story has little to do with keys or clubs.

It is about gambling and is called "A Piece of the Action."

However, before we proceed with that part of our show,

we bring you this paid announcement.

(slow jazz music)

(man coughs)

- [Dealer] Money in.

- I open.

- Smiley?

- Fold.

- Duke?

- A opens for two, bump it two.

- In.

Are you in, Ed?

- You know, you're the kinda guy I love.

Beater sits cozy for two races and then sandbags.

- I call.

Call, Nate?

- Pass.

- Card, Duke?

- One.

- One.

- Give me three.

- Dealer takes two.

(palm thuds)

- Nice trick.

You should have practiced more.

I was wondering why he won the last four hands he dealt.

(fist thuds) - Ah!

- Cash me in.

- You okayed this chiseler.

- Sure, the same way I okayed you on a credit rating.

That was stupid of you, Allie, and clumsy.

Now, if you're gonna deal from the bottom of the deck,

do it like this.

18,000.

- Now go easy, Duke.

- You go with all of us! - Ugh!

(dishes clattering)

What are you gonna do?

Duke, it's the first time, I swear.

I'll pay off.

Duke, tell 'em, you know me.

- I do now.

- Where do you think you're going?

- To the office.

- Duke, talk to them, talk to them!

- Why don't you let him go, Ed.

- Yeah, I heard that before.

"Let him go, Ed."

I'm not that charitable.

- I lost all the other times.

- Yeah, but this time you tried to win, the hard way.

- Please, Duke, please.

- I'm sorry, Allie, there's nothing I can do about it.

You dealt the hand, play it.

(slow jazz music)

Good morning, Danny.

- I've been waiting two days to hear you say that, boss.

(engine rumbling)

What day is it?

- Monday.

- 60 hours, never left the hotel room.

How's the track?

- Clear and fast.

- Hm, keep away from the rail.

- (chuckles) Now you tell me.

- Did you call the house?

- Yeah.

- What did my wife say?

- That's it, she didn't say nothing, just hung up.

Um, maybe you ought to stop off some place

and buy a little something, hey Duke?

- Mm, later.

The office first.

- Mm-hmm.

- Good morning, Miss Kelly.

- Do you want coffee, a pill, or the mail?

- [Duke] Anything important?

- A letter from your brother Chuck

and wires from two businessmen

asking for consultation, you know what I mean.

- Did you check their credit rating?

- They're both A-1.

Why don't those guys go to Vegas

and lose their money like the common people?

- Some businessmen can't afford public places.

It makes their stockholders nervous.

- I got something here that's gonna make you nervous:

Looks like John B. Marsden, the investment counselor,

may be needing a marriage counselor.

Rumor has it that Mrs. Marsden,

formally sociality Alice Stoneham, is packing for Reno.

- Hm.

(newspaper thuds)

- When were you home last?

- Friday.

- [Kelly] It is now Monday morning.

- Yeah.

- I'm surprised all she wanted to do was see a lawyer.

I'd have been as the Missing Persons Bureau.

- You don't quit on a winning streak.

- You're always on a winning streak.

She's waited a long time, Duke.

What is it, four years?

- Friday will be our 5th anniversary.

Don't worry, I'll square it.

- With what, a full-length mink?

She's had full-length mink ever since she was born.

And what do I do if some reporter

calls about that item?

- Deny it.

I want to make a phone call, then bring your book in.

- Timo, this is Mr. Marsden.

Is Mrs. Marsden home?

- [Timo] Oh yes, sir, Mr. Marsden.

- Tell her I'd like to speak to her.

- [Timo] Mrs. Marsden say not to speak anybody today.

- Well, where is she?

- [Timo] She taking sun bath, down by the pool.

- Oh, Timo, if she should ask,

tell her I'm stopping off at the club

for a shave and a steam, then I'm coming home.

Thank you.

- This is household.

- Oh.

- She still there, or did she go to Anchorage, Alaska?

- Oh, she's sunbathing.

I want to send a wire of congratulations

to Chuck on his prospects.

- No money order?

- No, I sent one last month when he graduated.

- How much ought to go on the books?

- 10,000. (Kelly whistles)

Well, he's just out of law school,

and if he's gonna practice law

I want him to look like a successful lawyer,

gonna need a little money.

- You've been saying that ever since I can remember.

"Chuck needs a little money."

- Well, who should I give it to if not my kid brother?

- Don't look now, but that kid is 24 years old.

- What do you want him to do,

get a pick and shovel job?

- It's been done.

- He graduated with honors.

He's gonna be a crackerjack lawyer.

He swore he'd work hard and he did,

now what do you want from him, blood?

- You're worried, aren't you, Duke?

- About what?

- Well, some day he could find out

that you're a professional gambler.

- Oh, he's never heard of Duke Marsden, and he never will.

Just send the wire.

- Well, you're the boss, but if I had a brother.

- Be glad you had a father.

(pleasant music)

(sighs)

Hm.

Hiya, Duchess.

- I've asked you not to call me that.

- Every Duke needs one.

- I hadn't noticed lately.

Don't, the Marsden charm doesn't work anymore.

- Ah, you've been reading those ridiculous newspaper rumors

about our getting a divorce.

- I'm perfectly serious, Duke.

- Perfect, yes.

Serious, no.

(water splashing)

Hey!

Can you get out of the fish bowl and talk to me?

All right baby, I know you're a poker widow.

I haven't been home in three days,

but what's the hurry with the lawyer bit?

What are you, a seal?

Do I have to jump in this bathtub to make you listen?

Okay.

(water splashing)

- Duke!

(Duke sputters)

You clown.

(Duke sputtering) Ah!

You know you can't swim.

- I know, but you wouldn't listen.

I had to gamble that you wouldn't let me drown,

because that's what I would do without you.

(pleasant music)

- Oh, Duke, how long?

- How long what?

- Do I have to wait for you to keep your promise and quit?

- (sighs) You knew what I was, and you married me.

- Sure, I was still a starry-eyed debutante.

You were exciting, but I can't live alone, Duke.

I'm afraid.

- Afraid of what?

- Of how easy it gets to mix too many martinis

when you don't come home.

A lot of lonely women who know a place,

a quiet out of the way bar

where a lot of nice men stop for a drink.

Oh Duke, don't make me jump into a pool I can't swim in.

(sighs)

- Just broke the bank in Monte Carlo, baby.

- You mean that?

You'll quit?

- I just did.

- Then take me away some place.

- Name it.

- Hawaii. - Hawaii.

- When? - How about Friday?

That's our anniversary.

Hey wait a minute, Friday's the 13th.

- Oh, it'll be the luckiest day of our lives.

But be here, Duke.

- I'll be here.

I'll be here this time.

I'll be here for you.

(jaunty music)

(pleasant music)

(people chattering)

You ought to try eating a salad some time.

- What am I, a rabbit?

- Ed, what did you do with Allie Saxon?

- Never heard of him.

How much did you pay for the suit?

- This?

A couple of hundred, why?

- Paid 300 for this sack.

How come it don't look a hundred bucks

better on me than it does on you?

- Well, maybe we have different tailors.

- Say what you mean, it's ain't the tailor.

I get the best, shark skin, Italian silk.

It don't matter.

I still look like I come from the dock.

And you know something, Marsden?

I come from the dock.

- Hm.

You don't like me, do you, Ed?

- How come I never get lucky like you, Duke?

- You know something, Krutcher?

You take losing too personally.

It eats you like an ulcer.

That's not good for a gambler.

- Yeah, what time we playing tomorrow?

- We're not, that's what I came to talk to you about.

I'm quitting.

- You just took me for 30 Gs.

- Well, that's poker, Ed.

You pay to learn.

Friday's my anniversary, my wife and I are going to Hawaii.

- On my dough.

- At the moment, it's mine.

- [Waiter] Ready for dessert, Mr. Krutcher?

- Put it down.

I want a chance to get even, Duke.

- You'll never get even, Ed.

You're a pigeon.

(hand bangs)

- Do you know how much a plaster cast can itch?

Especially in a warm climate like Hawaii?

- I haven't been scared since I was

in a haunted house at Coney Island, Ed.

I was five years old at the time.

Name your game.

Any time, any place, tomorrow afternoon.

I'll take every nickel you bring with you.

But remember, I'm quitting.

This is your last chance at me.

- We'll shoot craps.

The billiard room, my house, one o'clock.

- I'll see you then, pigeon.

Here we are.

- Eight, looking for a 10.

(doorbell rings)

- See who that is, Monty.

- Maybe it's your old lady.

- She's at the beauty parlor.

- How long can that take?

- You ever see my wife?

She'll be there 'til midnight.

- Hm.

- Nah, it's Nate or Frankie Portugal.

- Hey, Frankie.

- Hi.

You guys seen this?

They found Allie Saxon, shot.

(slow jazz music)

- Sell Frankie some chips, Smiley.

- Where'd they find him?

- In front of the Rescue Mission.

And what was Allie doing in front of the Rescue Mission?

- Maybe he was waiting to be saved.

Shoot, your point's 10.

(gentle music)

(slow jazz music)

- Scotch and water.

Just got in from the east.

- A lot of rain back there.

- No, no, not in Florida.

- Ah.

- I was on sort of a vacation.

- Must have been nice.

- I got lucky.

- Dames, huh?

- No, cards.

- Well, that's life.

I never even learned to play checkers.

- Fellow in Florida told me that if I wanted

to get in on some west coast action,

this was the place to look for it.

- [Bartender] Look Mack, all I know about Florida

is they ship grapefruits.

- (chuckles) You're careful, huh?

I like that.

No, I do, really.

What are the chances of my getting in on a game?

- Slim and none.

- I've got a bundle that says

that I can beat anybody in town.

- Uh-uh, you might lose.

- It'd be my hard luck.

- No, it'd be mine.

Then you wouldn't like me anymore.

Hardly anybody does,

so let's quit while we still like each other.

- Okay, friend.

It's your deal, but I'm staying

at the Hotel Windsor, room 312.

(slow jazz music)

(pleasant music)

- Mrs. Marsden.

- Hello, Mr. Marsden.

Come with me.

- Well, can I have a drink first?

- Mm-mm, I've got a surprise.

- Huh?

- You'll see.

- Hello, big brother.

- Chuck!

Ha ha, frat brother.

Why didn't you tell us?

- Oh, I just thought I'd slip in quietly

and try to steal your wife.

- Oh, fat chance, fat chance.

Let's see what they turned out at your law school.

- All right?

- Yeah, that's good enough for the Supreme Court.

- Well, I'll let you and the Chief Justice

get reacquainted while I brief Timo on dinner.

- Oh, ask Danny to bring out a couple drinks,

will you, please?

- What would you like?

- Whiskey sour?

- Fine.

- Did you fly out? - Well, I see you're still--

(both laughing)

- Let's talk about the law business.

- Oh.

- What about that firm in Boston you wrote about?

- Oh yeah, Leland, Ward & Merrick.

- Yeah, that's the one.

(diving board banging)

- Yep, I contacted them after graduation.

They offered me a job.

- That's what I was hoping for.

- Listen, Jack, I'm really grateful

about the 10,000 you sent.

- Ah, forget it.

When do you start?

- Uh, I haven't made up my mind yet.

- Why not?

- Well see, I meant Leland through his daughter.

Jack, she's a fabulous girl, fabulous.

She's like Alice, you know what I mean?

- Yeah, I'm trying.

- (sighs) Well, she's used to things like this.

Jack, a law clerk job sounds like the beginning

of a long, long road.

- Yeah, what are you trying to tell me?

That she's interested in you only if you've got money?

- I didn't say that.

- It sounds like it.

Look, Chuck, you've got an education

that's worth more than money.

If I were you, I'd find out exactly what this girl

is thinking before I made any definite plans.

- Look, Jack, I owe you a lot,

but I can make my own decisions.

- You can what?

- I said I can-- - Psst.

- Wait here.

What is it, Danny?

- Would you come inside for a second?

- Oh, can't it wait?

- Something important come up, let's go.

- I'll be right out.

(slow jazz music)

What is it, Danny?

You're interrupting a family reunion.

- That guy you're talking to come into Pete's.

- Couldn't have, he's my brother.

- Yeah?

He said he was from Florida looking for a game.

He's got a bundle.

- You're sure?

- I'm sure.

- Your local stations have been clamoring

for a piece of the action, so we are rewarding them

with the follow segment to identify themselves.

This should be enough time, unless some of them

have extraordinarily long call letters.

(jaunty music)

(pleasant music)

- Jack, I'm sorry I snapped at you like that.

- So am I. - But I'm not a kid anymore.

I've got to live my own life.

- You put it right on the line, don't you?

- Yes.

- Just like you did with the money I sent you.

That's a nice tan you've got.

Did you get it in Boston, or Florida?

- (chuckles) You've been having me followed?

- No.

- You sent me $10,000, Jack.

I didn't know there were any strings attached.

- Keep your voice down.

- All right, all right.

I took the money, and I went to Florida.

And I sat in on a game, a big game.

- They're all big games, right from the first little one.

- And I made a big score, Jack, 50 grand.

- And they're all big scores,

right from the first easy buck.

- Don't lecture me!

- I'm not lecturing!

- Everybody gambles, Jack.

Your business, investments.

It's legal, it's slow, respectable,

but it's gambling and you know it.

- Who's talking about my business?

- Oh Jack, Jack, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, but we're just different, that's all.

We always were.

You're like Mom, a worrier.

I'm more like the old man.

- What do you know about the old man?

You were seven years old when he died.

- I know he knew how to live.

- And he killed everything around him, including Mom.

She's the one who kept us alive.

- I should have known better than to come here.

- You listen to me, punk.

Maybe you were too young to know, or too dumb,

the way we used to get thrown out of

one cheap dump after the other?

- You sang that to me in high school.

- I never went to high school.

I had a shoe shine box when I was 10,

because the old man threw all of his dough away gambling.

But you don't remember that.

You only remember the few times he won,

the trips to Coney Island, the cotton candy,

the ferris wheel.

- I like Coney Island, Jack, sue me.

- You'd better get outta here,

before I do something we'll both be sorry for.

(dramatic music)

- Now you're just forgetting one little thing.

The old man was a born loser, but I'm not.

- Then quit while you're ahead.

All gamblers die broke.

- My apologies to Alice for the dinner.

(melodic piano music)

- Can a lady get a drink here unescorted?

- A lady can get anything she wants here

if she's unescorted.

- Oh, right.

Where's Chuck, changing for dinner?

- He had to leave.

- But he said he'd,

what happened, John?

- We had a little row, that's all.

- About what?

Did he find out about you?

- No, he didn't find out about me.

It's an old family thing.

- I'm family, the name's Marsden, and I like it that way.

What was it, darling?

- About his plans, that's all.

Do you mind if we don't talk about it?

- All right.

- Hiya, Duchess.

(pleasant music)

Here's to Friday, to Hawaii.

To us.

- Oh, am I gonna keep you busy tomorrow, mister.

You're gonna make like a husband.

- Tomorrow?

- Mm-hmm, we've got shopping.

Last minute things.

- I should go to town for a while.

- Not the office.

- I have to close that too, don't I?

Get the plane tickets.

Square things with Chuck.

- Oh?

What's our flight time Friday?

- One o'clock.

- Then we'll have to leave for the airport by noon.

- Mm, I can hardly wait.

There you are.

- Until noon Friday.

- I'll be here.

Hello, Al.

- Your secretary said 10 minutes, it's been 20.

- Yeah.

Game still on for tonight?

- Yeah.

- Ed, I know it's July,

but I want to give you a Christmas present.

- Like what?

- Well, there's a young kid in from Florida

looking for a game.

I want him cleaned.

- What's in it?

- About 50,000.

- How come you're so good to me, Duke?

- Well, you're the heavy loser.

I thought I'd throw it your way.

- Why don't you give him the bath yourself?

- I'll be busy packing.

- What's your piece of the action?

- Nothing, I'll probably be gone before the game's over.

- Yeah, gone.

You know, this fish is beginning

to have a little odor to it.

- This fish is so fresh, it's pathetic.

- How do I get in touch with this guy?

- Windsor Hotel, Room 312, but Pete'll steer you to him.

- We're set up at the Colonial Arms, 10 o'clock.

- Keep the change, Al.

It's on me, Ed.

(jazz music)

(pleasant music)

- Are you catching a train, darling?

- Hm?

- Your watch, you keep looking at it.

- Oh, the band is loose.

- What time is it?

- Almost 10.

- Shall we have our coffee inside?

- Mm.

- Or out here at the bottom of the pool?

- Fine.

- Oh, honey.

You might as well be in China.

- Oh, sorry, baby.

I'm back now.

- I'll get the coffee.

- No, don't go.

- This is a new and funny feeling.

- What?

- Asking me to stay.

This is the hour you were always anxious to leave me.

- Nobody's ever gonna leave anybody again.

Everybody stays just like this, where they belong.

(dramatic music)

- Straight to the king.

That does it.

(buzzer buzzes)

- Who is it? - Florida.

- Come on in, kid.

My name's Ed.

- Okay here?

- Grab it, that's the hot seat.

- It will be.

- What do they play on this, here in Florida?

- This isn't Florida.

- We play dealer's choice.

- For money, 20,000, first buy.

White's a hundred, red's five, and blue's a thousand.

(phone ringing)

- Hello?

- Hello, Duke, Ed Krutcher.

- Wait a minute.

I told you not to call my home,

especially not in the middle of the night.

- Well it's the middle of the night here, too,

and you'd better get over here in a hurry

and I'm not kidding.

- I told you I'm quitting.

- I don't care about you.

It's that fish you sent us, Dukie boy.

It's beginning to stink.

He's taken us 60 grand in four hours.

- You don't know how to pluck a chicken

when it's handed to you.

- No, but I know how to stuff one,

and your Christmas present may just end up

at the Rescue Mission.

(dramatic music)

- Danny, get the car out and meet me

by the side of the house, right away.

(pleasant music)

(jaunty music)

(slow jazz music)

- Look, I thought I came here to play cards.

- Play solitaire.

- I might try quitting.

- That I wouldn't try.

- Well, what are waiting for?

Let's play cards.

- We're waiting for fresh blood.

- Who?

- The guy who steered you here, Duke.

- I told you, I don't know anybody named Duke.

He's the one who phoned me.

- Little boy blue, he don't know anything.

- I knew a guy like that once, innocent.

Diamonds up to here.

(buzzer buzzes)

- 15 minutes, pretty quick.

- Ed, Chuck.

- Well, what is this?

Big brother watching over me?

- I thought you didn't know him.

- Like he said, I'm his brother.

- Hm, well you forgot to mention that, Duke.

- Duke?

(chuckling) You?

- You heard the man.

- Uh-huh, a fish from Florida, he said.

- Is that what you told him, Duke?

- You being funny?

- No, I'm just waiting for the lecture.

- Give me a stack.

- There's no lecture on the evils of gambling, big brother?

- No lecture, just a lesson.

- (chuckles) My big, square, successful brother.

Now, you're a bigger phony than the old man ever was.

- You gonna talk, or play?

- With you, I wouldn't miss it.

- [Ed] I smell a frame.

- If this was a frame, I wouldn't be here.

This is between him and me.

- Yeah, on our money.

- I'll get it back for you.

- Couldn't take it away from me with a gun.

- Oh?

- I could.

- You're playing on a-- - You gonna trust him?

- I trust everybody, especially brothers.

- Ed, play or get out.

- Yeah, well I'll be watching you.

- All you'll see is what you pay to see when you call.

- Ante.

Jacks are better.

- (chuckles) Investment, well gee.

- You were my investment.

(slow jazz music)

- You're high.

- Check to the possible flush.

- Five blues.

- Five.

And five again.

- Three shy.

- Hm, cash?

- I haven't got any more on me.

- Well, I owe you 10 grand, remember?

- You'd better save those.

- Don't seem to need them anymore, Duke.

- Call.

- Ace.

- Hold it, how do you know he ain't got the flush?

- Because he didn't raise.

- Now, we'll see.

- Don't ever do that again, Ed.

- I just wanted to make sure you weren't

folding the flush to him.

- Nobody sees my cards unless they pay for them.

- No wonder you're giving lessons tonight.

- How would you like a rap in the mouth?

- Oh, big brother wouldn't let you do that.

- Come on, knock it off!

We need some food and a couple of fresh decks of cards.

These are getting soggy from handling.

- No room service between midnight and seven.

- Danny's waiting in my car.

The desk can send someone out to tell him.

Can get the cards at the all night drugstore

and the food at Tiny's.

I'm gonna take a shower.

- Why shower?

You're still taking a bath.

(groans)

- Desk, there's a chauffeur waiting outside in a car.

Would you ask him to come in to the phone, please?

(slow jazz music)

(phone ringing)

- Mr. Marsden's office.

Oh no, Mrs. Marsden.

No, I just got in myself.

It's just nine o'clock.

- Will you have him call me if he does?

Or Danny if you hear from him.

- Call.

- Two, and three more.

You're slowing down.

- Fold.

Last cut.

- Bet the kings.

- I check.

- Check.

- Five grand.

- Fold.

- Five again.

- Fold.

- Let's try that again.

Your five, and up you 10.

- All right, I call you.

- Three nines.

- I knew you'd improve.

- And I knew you knew,

but you just didn't know how much.

That hurt, didn't it?

- Just shut up and deal.

- Oh, getting emotional, that means scared.

- Do you mind if the rest of us play?

- No.

Lowball.

- You know I hate the game.

- Ed, you're not dealing.

(slow jazz music)

- Smiley?

- Nine pat, you drew two.

- That's right.

I come out betting.

Five thousand.

- Right into that pat hand.

- Have to get rid of the amateurs.

- I call.

- Five, and raise five.

- Fold.

- Call.

- Your five, 10 better.

- Good idea.

10, and I'll raise it 20.

$20,000 to call.

- Call.

- I've only got 18.

- Save it.

I'll take it from you next hand.

- Bluffing, I can read you.

I call 18.

Two shy.

- Ed, I'll make you a side bet,

just in case his dumb luck comes back.

Okay.

- I'm in, kings full.

- Well, let me see here, hm?

Four little deucies.

Looks like you came in third, little brother.

Do you want another stack?

I've got plenty.

- I'm broke and you know it.

- You wouldn't listen.

You thought it was all cotton candy and Coney Island.

(fists thudding)

Open the door, Smiley.

(coat thuds)

Now get out!

(door bangs)

I've gotta go.

You can keep the money, split it any way you like.

- You're a big man, Duke, why?

- It was a great act.

I've been waiting a long time for the finish.

- I'm glad you enjoyed it.

- I didn't, I just said it was great.

Eight of diamonds.

(dramatic music)

Jack of spades.

- Oh, a marked deck.

- I sent you a pigeon, you couldn't take him.

I had to cure him in a hurry.

Didn't cost you anything.

- Not this time.

- There were a couple of other pigeons

that didn't pay off for us like this one.

- Yeah, I'm thinking about that.

Maybe it's because of your brother,

you making this generous gesture.

- You sent your driver for the cards

the night we played at the Grosvenor.

- Yeah, and you won big that night, Duke.

And those other nights, all those other nights.

- All those games were on the level.

- Were they?

- Look Ed, I don't care what you think.

And I'm not Allie Saxon,

you're not leading me out of here like a lamb.

So get out of my way, I got a plane to catch.

- Go ahead, see what you catch.

(dramatic music)

- You ring for me?

- Oh yes, Timo, bring my car around to the front

and put my luggage in the trunk, just mine.

- Mr. Marsden car just come up drive.

- Do as I say, please.

- Hello, Mrs. Marsden.

- Goodbye.

- You said noon, it's just noon.

- Whatever the time is, it's too late.

- I'm sorry, baby, I couldn't help it.

- We're always sorry.

You know, I think that's what I'm the most tired of,

a world full of sorry people.

I'm leaving without you, Duke.

(slow jazz music)

(thudding)

Duke.

What is it, darling?

What's happened?

- They must have--

- Just shut up, Danny.

I had a little accident with a gun.

- Call a doctor quickly Danny, get help.

You'll be all right, darling.

I know you will.

- Bet.

I'll lay ya 10 to one.

- Oh, Duke.

- Don't be a chump.

Those are good odds.

- Bet.

- I figure just making it to the old folks home

was enough of a gamble. (sighs)

Hiya, Duchess.

- Duke?

Oh, no.

(sobs)

- Never said a word, just get him home by noon.

- In tonight's play, everyone learned a lesson.

Ed and the boys learned that one shouldn't

go about shooting people.

The police took a hand in teaching them that.

Chuck learned that you shouldn't gamble.

Duke learned you shouldn't cheat at cards.

And Alice learned that you shouldn't

marry an investment counselor.

There is also sad news about my new key club.

It has become even more exclusive than we planned.

The sheriff is now our only member, we've been padlocked.

I shall be back next week with another drama,

scenes of which will appear in just a moment.
