There's a time for love and a time for living. Take a chance and face the wind.

Open road and a road that's hidden. A brand new life around the bend.

There were times I lost a dream or two.

And found a trail.

And at the end was you.

There's a path you take and a path not taken.

The choice is up to you, my friend.

Not so long, but you might have waited to a brand new life, a brand new life, a

brand new life for Ramblin'.

Uh,

look at us, huh?

Studying for Monday exams on a Friday night. I call us two dedicated scholars.

I call us two pathetic losers with no dates.

Jonathan, would you rather be smart or a social success?

Let's cruise for babes.

Where is he?

Ah, there's the mouth.

What? What did I do? You told everyone at school that I like Brian Simmons.

So, that's what I heard you tell Bonnie.

Jonathan, that was a secret.

See, everyone else is supposed to think I hate him. Because when a guy thinks

that you hate him, it makes you look more attractive. And then he wants to

you even more. You get it?

Were you talking to me?

I'm going to kill him.

Sam, Sam, wait a minute. Calm down and answer me this.

What if you really don't like a guy, but he asks you out because he thinks you

like him because you've been playing hard to get. When in truth, you really

don't like him and you don't want to date him at all.

You make it seem so complicated. Complicated.

See what I have to live with?

Who says you have to live? Ah, children, children.

Why can't we live in peace and harmony?

Okay, we give up. Why can't we live in peace and harmony?

This should be good.

This is not a joke. I am tired of people being unkind to each other.

Why can't people just be nice?

All right, kids, go ahead. Get out of here. Fast, fast. I don't think you

be hearing this.

What's with you? What's the matter? I thought you were going to Atlantic City

see Wayne Newton.

Harold called it off.

He said something came up, something important.

Well, wait a minute. Wait a minute. What could be more important than a romantic

weekend with a beautiful woman such as yourself?

His wife's birthday.

That's important, yeah.

I didn't even know the bum was married.

And then, last week, there was Scott.

He's married, too? No, worse.

He's witty, handsome, charming.

And he believes he is the king of the planet Zoltar.

Well, that is ridiculous, huh?

There's no planet Zoltar.

I've been thinking about it, and yes, you can borrow my diamond necklace to go

to Atlantic City.

Oh, no, I don't want it. Oh, nonsense.

Harold will love it.

call it woman's intuition, but I'd say that Harold has marriage on his mind.

You got that right, Angela.

Harold's already married.

Oh, mother.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Well, at least you'll have more time for Scott.

Way to use that woman's intuition, Ron.

I don't know. I think my... My antenna must be off or something. I used to be

able to spot those weenies from a mile away.

I don't know.

I've lost it. I can't even get mad anymore.

Wait a minute, Mona. Wait a minute. You haven't lost a thing. You're still

vicious and vindictive.

Oh, you're just saying that.

What I wanted to do was to go to Atlantic City with a sexy man on my arm.

you don't need a sexy man on your arm. You got me.

And Angela.

Tony, don't you have a big exam on Monday? Yeah, but I'll bring my

book down to the casino with me. I'll study there. What your mother needs is a

weekend to forget her troubles. Tony, you know what? You are right. A weekend

wild abandon.

With you two? Come on, it's on me. Hey, you can ride shotgun. I know you like

it.

This kind of noise, the excitement, the electricity, can't you just feel it?

I'm pooped.

Hello, Red.

Oh, I know you.

You drove up in the white Lamborghini.

And you drove up in the blue Jag with the dead blonde in the back.

No, she's not dead. And she's not a blonde. Huh?

And this is Tony.

Jason McAllister. It's nice to meet you.

And? And? You are?

Oh, Mona.

Just Mona.

Mona, just Mona.

Care to take a roll?

Your dice are mine.

Mona, just Mona.

Can I speak to you for just a moment?

You don't know this guy. I don't know about him. Maybe...

Maybe it's just the way his lips curl up in the corners.

Oh, Tony, that's a smile.

Yeah, well, that's what he wants you to think, yeah.

Mother, what Tony's saying is you can have fun, but just be careful.

Okay. I appreciate your concern. You know, I really am lucky. I have people

around me that care so much.

Mona, I didn't mean to barge in. If you want to stay with your friends, I

understand. What friends? I picked them up hitchhiking.

She just pinched him on the butt.

She's back.

You want to take a walk on the boardwalk? You promise you won't pinch

butt? No.

Let's go.

Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute. I got to call the kids. Tony, I'm sure they're

fine. Even if it's the first time we've left them home alone. You know, I've

been worried ever since we left. I didn't want to say anything, but I've

worried ever since we left. Well, why didn't you say anything?

Because I didn't want to worry you.

Now, Tony, look, let's not call them. They're getting older. Let's give them

message that we trust them. Okay, good. I'll call them and tell them that. Tony.

All right, all right.

Shall we?

Come on, eight.

Mona needs a new pair of anything from Tiffany's.

Really? Hey, the front door.

God, you're beautiful when you're winning.

I am, aren't I?

Here, blow on these.

No, I mean the dice.

Thank you.

Come on.

Seven, huh?

Seven, everyone. Oh, boy.

You are good luck for me.

One question.

Are you married?

No.

Are you from the planet Zoltar?

Close. I'm from Phoenix.

Okay. Hey, hey, Mona. How you doing?

Here's a chip. Beat it.

How's Smiley treating you? Like a million bucks.

All right, well, good. Listen, Angela just went for some saltwater taffy.

And I'm going to do my studying over here, so if you need me, I'm... We're

in. You're all in.

Well,

you don't need me.

Okay, let it all ride.

The kit and the caboodle, huh?

Love your caboodle, Kim.

Okay, come on, baby.

Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.

Hi, hon. Want a drink?

Oh, I got a book.

I've always felt that Camus' sense of desolation was inherently facile, and

you that life is wholly irrational.

Wow.

Those are my thoughts exactly.

Back to work or find another job.

Oh, sorry.

We were just discussing Camus. You know, he's a French philosopher.

Oh, yeah. The guy who won the Nobel Prize in 1957.

Oh, yeah, that's him.

Yeah, you know, but I've always thought that in The Stranger, you know, his

sense of existential despair is somewhat overstated.

Oh, that's because you're reading him in English.

L 'étranger was horribly translated.

Well, I think you're a bit of an apologist.

Well, you know what Sartre said about Camus. Oh, yeah, Jean -Paul, what a

cadet, huh?

Mona! Mona!

Mona! Mona!

Mona! Come on, a front line winner, seven!

Right, you're right, I am a winner, and I'm never going to stop winning. Come

on, let's bet the farm.

Mona! Mona!

This is corrupt.

Hey, hey, hey, wait a minute. That wasn't supposed to happen.

I got to get that back.

But I don't have anything to get it back with.

Yeah, you do. You're going to let me bankroll you. Oh, no, really, I

Could I?

Mona, I'm an investment counselor.

I know a great investment when I see one. Oh, well, what about interest?

Oh, I'm interested.

On the other hand, if you make you feel any better, you got anything you want to

put up as collateral?

Act of good faith?

Maybe the necklace? I don't know.

You can't win unless you're in. Lady, you're holding up the parade.

Here we go.

Here. Are you playing?

Yeah. Okay, baby, come on. Bring back that look. Andrew.

Traps. Sign down.

I don't believe this.

Now I have lost Angela's diamond necklace?

I got to get that back. I can loan you some more money so you can win it back.

That's good, that's good. But I don't have anything else to give you for

collateral.

Mother, want some saltwater taffy? It's freshly pulled.

No, thank you, dear.

What's wrong with your neck?

Well, Jason and I have a bet about how the Egyptians were buried.

Does this look right to you?

No. Yes.

Look, I'm going to turn in. So if you guys want to go see Wayne Newton, here's

the keys to the car.

How much will you front me for an 86 Jag?

I only have 5 ,000. Great, I'll take it.

Here we go.

Come on. Mona, how you doing?

Holy... How'd you get up so much money, Mona? I pawned Angela's Jag.

Funny lady.

Oh, come on, Seven.

Hey.

Creps. Our loser.

It's all gone.

Oh, I'm sorry, Mona. Is this the one for the trunk?

I knew we should have gone to Disney World.

Mona, wait a minute. Wait a minute. You can't just gamble away somebody's

Jaguar. Well, I had to. I'd already gambled away her diamond necklace.

Mona, I can't believe this is happening.

Yeah, I'm afraid it is.

Oh, Jason, buddy.

Buddy.

Can we talk?

I mean, you know, we just took Mona out of Shady Meadows.

You know, she's got a little... Did she mention the planet Zoltar?

It came up. You see?

You see? You can't believe anything she said. You can't take her seriously at

all. Tony, you don't think I wanted this to happen. I wanted her to win.

She's so gorgeous when she wins.

Oh, you gotta love him, Tony.

Well, look, Jason, can't you give us a break here?

Well, personally, I'd love to, but my hands are tied. I've got partners. I've

got obligations.

I've got to pay for the suit.

It's better, Tony.

I have a business.

Business. Business, business, business. What are we talking about business for,

Jason? It's Saturday.

Hey, it's almost Sunday, huh?

Let's take a day off. Even God took a day off.

I'm an atheist.

So I'm a Catholic.

Hey, the pit boss is an existentialist.

Come on, what I'm saying is we're all the same underneath.

We all need a day off.

Come on, Jason, you'll find a nice woman to fleece on Monday.

All right, all right. Look, I've loaned Mona a lot of money in front of a lot of

people. In this town, your word is your bond.

See, so it's simple.

Give me the pink slip to the car or the money.

Think about it. Take your time. I'll wait.

Okay, Smoothingheimer.

We'll get you your money.

What do you got on you?

Just what you see.

And some lace underwear.

I've gotten lots of compliments on it.

Mona, where are we going to get that kind of money?

Hi, guys.

Good news. I got a second wind. Must have been the saltwater taffy.

What do you say we jump in the Jag and go see Wayne Newton?

Well, I don't think so.

No? No, no Wayne Newton.

No Jag.

It broke down?

The parking lot attendant couldn't find it?

It was stolen?

For God's sake, you didn't just give it away.

You gave it away?

Well, actually, your mother gambled it away.

You what?

I am going to wring your neck.

Where's my necklace?

Angela, I am sorry. I am genuinely sorry.

Mother, what ever pissed you to do such a thing? I don't know. He was so

handsome. I thought he really cared for me. I think my antenna is still off.

Well, I don't even have an antenna because you gave it away with my car.

Angela, please, try to calm down. I mean, try to understand. Your mother's

slump. She's vulnerable.

And that guy, he took advantage of her.

Oh, Tony, please, don't make excuses for me. I blew it.

And now she's self -loathing. What more do you want?

I want my Jaguar.

What do I owe him to get it back?

Six grand. Six thousand dollars?

My diamond necklace and my Jaguar are worth at least five times that much.

I didn't want to get in over your head.

Okay. Okay, I'm going to write him a check, and I know whose salary I'm going

deduct it from. Wait a minute, answer. Now, play it cool, because this guy is a

smooth operator.

I am cool.

Excuse me. Excuse me, Mr.

Leach on society.

I would like to settle my mother's debt.

Sure. $10 ,000.

Why? I only borrowed six.

Interest. Why, wait a minute. Interest. That's 66 .6 % interest.

Man, there's my money.

That is usury, and I will not be party to it.

I can accept that.

Good night.

Hold it there, slime ball.

You can't just brush me off like that. You may hold the keys to that car, but

emotionally, that jag is mine.

Emotionally? You know, this is your lucky day. I'm a very emotional guy.

I'm going to give you a chance to win back your car.

How about a nice friendly game of poker?

Get the cards, buddy.

I'm going to wipe that smug smile off your face.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute, Angela. You can't play poker with that guy. I

played poker before with your friends. My friends stink. That's why I play with

them.

I have dealt with captains of industry. I can deal with this weasel.

What's your game, pal?

Stud. Stud.

You flatter yourself. What's your game? Angela.

Angela, please.

You stay right there. You're mine. Remember, you are mine.

So, Red, what do you say after all this is behind us, you and me taking a

show, have some dinner, maybe some breakfast?

Well, that line would have worked.

Ten minutes and $10 ,000 ago.

Oh, take it personal. It's just business.

You know, I've been on a bad roll with men lately, but they say before you can

turn it around, you have to hit rock bottom.

Well, Miley, you made that happen tonight.

Thank you. Ouch. Don't do this, Angel. I know what I'm doing.

Give me a bunch of those little round plastic things.

Chips.

Ready? Ready.

Serve. It's deal.

I can't watch.

Okay. One hundred. That's ten of the little round things.

Is that a new suit?

Yeah, why?

Because I'm going to bury you in it.

Angela, don't make him mad.

Okay, $500.

Okay, no problem.

Oh, sure, why not make it $1 ,000? Okay, $1 ,000. You had to open your mouth?

Let's get to what we really came here for. I bet one diamond necklace, which I

personally value at $2 ,000.

I see that $2 ,000.

I see Jonathan going to a community college.

That one jaguar.

I see that jaguar.

And I raise you... Wait, what raise?

Raise what?

You're out of chips.

What are you going to raise with, your house?

Oh, of course not. Oh, give me the keys to your Cherokee.

What?

Angela, you may have lost your mind, but I'm not losing my brand new car.

Angela, look. He has two kings showing. You have two tens.

There is no way.

I'm in.

Real subtle, Tony. Oh, yeah.

Oh, well, okay. I'll go along.

And how do I know you're not bluffing for her?

I've seen this scam before. I've run it myself.

Maybe we're scamming you, and maybe we're not.

Well, if you're not, your blabbermouth friend is about the dumbest lug that

walked into this casino.

Well, maybe I am and maybe I'm not.

I'll see your Cherokee and I'll raise you.

You people don't have the smarts to pull off this con.

My fault.

Oh, well, that was a very wise choice.

But just for your information, we were bluffing.

Sit down.

I got a reputation.

Oh, I'm sorry. Your reputation.

We were brothers!

You are a beautiful woman,

Mama.

Look at her.

We did it. All right!

How did you do it? I worked it out with Angela when I pulled the roller to the

side.

I'm good.

What do you say we see Wayne's late show? Mother, Mother, you are not

away this easily.

What you did was wrong. I know, I know. And I swear I am never going to gamble

again. I'm not just talking about the gambling.

I'm talking about how you lose your judgment every time you see a handsome

I'm talking about how you forget about everybody else every time some guy

a little flattery your way. Hello, gorgeous.

Hello. Hello.

Goodbye.
