Thanks, Woody. You're welcome, Professor
O. There'll be $8 .54, Coach.

Uh, yeah, Stan, I'm a little short. Can
you, uh, spot me a 20?

It was only $8 .54.

I'll have to buy dinner later.

Hi, Professor Ogilvie!

Dining alone?

No, no, no. Uh, I'm having lunch with
Coach Melville. Oh, hi, Coach.

I'm Nikki Parker.

Oh, so you're Nikki Parker. Yes, I've
heard a lot about you. Ah!

Nothing but good things I trust.

Oh, the professor, he can't stop talking
about you.

What? I don't want to speak for him, but
he says you're quite a woman.

What?

Why don't I leave you two lovebirds
alone?

What?

Don't fight it, professor.

Love is a powerful thing.

So is fear.

says the check is in the mail.

Well, hold on. I'm not a bill collector,
sweet pea.

And it's a beautiful day in the
neighborhood.

I'm just in town for some job
interviews. I thought I'd stop by and

but I guess that wasn't such a good
idea.

You know any cheap motels around?

In this neighborhood, there's nothing
but cheap motels.

Cliff, why don't you stay here?

I'm sure Cliff has other plans.

No, Cliff don't.

Then it's settled.

You can have the couch.

Unless you two want to sleep in the same
bed like y 'all used to.

Which hand is the kiss in?

Both of them.

That's my sweetie.

I miss you, Cliff. I miss you too, boo
-boo.

Look, Nick, I know this is unexpected,
but you'd really help me out if you'd

just let me stay here for a couple of
days.

Are you still gambling?

Only when I knocked on your door.

I'm over that, Nick.

Although I do still have a thing for
a...

Special woman named Nikki.

If you expect to stay here, you better
get over that, too.

Red alert. Red alert.

Can't I have one lunch in peace? The
woman is relentless.

Here she comes.

Excuse me.

And there she goes.

She was relentless, all right.

in a restraining order.

Come here, Cliff.

Now, you can't go to your job interview
with mustard on your tie.

And the look of love on my face.

I really enjoyed our lunch today at the
pier.

I don't know why I let you talk me into
it, but I'm glad I did.

And listen, next time, it's on me.

Cliff?

We used to play football together in
college.

Well, Cliff actually played. I, you
know, got us water.

How do you know Miss Parker?

Oh, we used to be engaged.

Well, you two used to be engaged?

Yeah, hi. I'm Professor Stanley Ogilvie.

Any chance of you two kids re -engaging?

Well, I can only hope.

Well, keep hope alive.

Hey, Cliff.

You're not busy Friday night. Why don't
you stop by and play poker with us, if

that's all right with you? Any fiancé of
Miss Parker's is a savior, a friend of

mine.

No, thanks, fellas. I think I'm going to
have to pass.

Well, if you change your mind.

Don't worry.

He won't.

Oh, man, I've got to run.

Not a good idea for me to be late for my
job interview, huh?

Nice to meet you, Professor Oldby.

Good to see you, too. Good to see you.

Come on. I'll walk you to the car. All
right.

Yeah, they make a nice couple. Do you
think they're happy?

I am.

Go fish. I want to eat.

Oh, you are hot today.

Oh, hey, Cliff.

How'd your interview go?

Same as all the others.

I guess I won't be reporting to work on
Monday or Tuesday or Wednesday.

Well, they say the first one's always
the toughest.

What'd he say about number 50?

I'm tired of goldfish.

Play some blackjack. Want in on this,
Cliff? I don't know.

25 cents a hand.

Sorry. Too rich for my blood.

Come on, even I can afford that. It's
just for fun.

Yeah, just a friendly game.

Yeah, come on, Cliff.

Oh, all right. I guess a few hands can
hurt.

I'm in.

What do you want to do, Stevie?

Oh, well, I want to meet a nice guy,
settle down, you know, a little... Hey,

I was talking about the game.

Yeah,

I stand.

Sweet pea.

Hit me.

Okay, how much is the guy plus the lady
plus the seven with the pretty red

diamond?

Here, bust this, sweet pea.

What do you want to do, T?

I want to double down, but I'm out of
money.

Then you're out of luck, brother.

Oh, man, I feel good about this one.

All right, what say we take one of those
earrings you're wearing as collateral?

My earring?

This has sentimental value.

It's a family heirloom.

I thought you said you got it at the
pawn shop.

Didn't you say it was my family?

Ooh,

three. Tough break.

Hit me.

Brother, you only get one card when you
double down.

No, I mean really hit me like in the eye
for being such a damn fool.

Dealer has 20.

Sorry, Holmes.

Kim!

Oh, she's not here, baby.

Tonight it's just you and me, alone.

What are you up to?

And what smells so good?

Oh, I think that must be my new cologne.

Smells more like fork chop.

That's just a special meal I made for my
special lady, Alizé.

My favorite. You remember?

Girl, I remember everything about you.

A toast.

To the most incredible woman.

Ever the grace this earth.

Cliff Wall, then.

Nikki, when I came back, it was because
I wanted a job.

But now, I realize the only thing I want
is you.

Hey, now, let's not give up on a job.

Look, I'm flattered. But I remember too
many nights you stood me up because you

were more interested in your bookie than
some, uh, nookie.

I know, but I'm a changed man, Nick.

I was a fool to ever let you get away.

True.

Please, baby, I love you.

And I want you to be my wife.

Oh, wait a minute.

I mean, you know, once I get a job, get
a place to stay, a car, I'll get you a

ring, I'll get you something with the
IRS.

He asked you to marry him. What did you
say?

Well, I let him finish giving me a neck
rub, ate his wonderful dinner, and let

him do the dishes.

Then I told him I'd think about it.

No. Yes, yes, yes.

Hey, y 'all.

Hey, where you on your way off to this
time?

Oh, Cliff said it's a surprise,
someplace I've never been.

Oh, the library.

Nikki, she's in college.

She doesn't have to go to the library
anymore.

So you didn't make it to college, did
you?

Sweetie, don't forget our date tonight,
okay? I think we're going to have

something to celebrate. I had such a
great interview yesterday. The man

he was going to call me. And if I get
this job, you know what that means.

What? No more Taco Bell.

I'm here on the end, baby.

Sizzler.

Well, all right, you big spender.

I'll see y 'all later. All right, come
on, sweetie. Right behind you.

How can you say no to a guy who promises
dinner and all the... A salad you could

eat for $6 .99.

Because he used to be a gambler.

Well, does he win?

That's not the point.

I met Cliff when I was a blackjack
dealer in Gardena. He was one of my

You were a dealer?

Hey, when you a single mom, you gotta
put food on the table.

Anyway, once I saw what gambling was
doing to Cliff and people like him, I

to let it go.

And Cliff, too.

So why are you getting mixed up with him
again?

Well, so far, he's been a perfect angel.

I mean, he cooks.

Cleans, runs errands, and chemicals him.

Girl, he even has a hot bubble bath
waiting for me when I get home at night.

Sounds like the only thing he's addicted
to is you.

Well, I guess I'm not such a bad habit
to have.

All right, come on. The coast is clear.

I don't know, Cliff.

If we keep winning at the track, I'm
going to have to rent my own place to

my stuff.

Yeah, you get that exact again, you're
going to be able to buy your own place.

I don't think your mama like us spending
our time so frivolously, so let's keep

these little library trips between us,
eh?

I know. I won't say a word.

But mama's going to start expecting me
to be smart.

Maybe one of them's a job. Let's see how
my luck's holding out.

Hey, Cliff, it's Pat Melville. We really
could use a fourth tonight. We're

starting around eight at the
professor's. You've got the address.

Bring cash, because we don't take checks
and we don't take American Express.

This message is for Cliff Rogers.

Cliff, great interview. Great resume.

Bad timing.

Sorry it didn't work out. I'm sure
you'll find something soon.

I'm sorry, Cliff.

That's all right, Sweet Pea. Just means
something better's coming along.

Hell, I didn't want to work at the IHOP
anyway.

I'm not going to eat there anymore.

Listen, um, I think I'm going to take
the coach up on his offer.

Oh, and, uh, Sweet Pea, honey.

I know.

Don't tell Mama.

for you. Oh, cool. Was your mama home?

Not that kind of surprise, silly.

Here,

take it before I change my mom.

Diamond earring? What? Just like my old
one. Except my old one was bigger.

Thanks. Thanks.

Oh, I'm glad you like it.

I feel bad when Cliff took your 24K or
gold -plated cubic zirconium stud.

ever give me this earring.

Oh, nice.

24 karat gold plate of Cupid's Iconium.
My baby's got taste. Let's take a

picture.

I lost my earring in a card game with
Cliff.

Card game?

You were playing cards with Cliff? Yeah.

me to the track. I hit the daily double.

I see you're a bet professor and I raise
you five dollars.

I see you're five and I raise you half
of a strawberry sample.

Can't bet meat.

Okay, I fold it.

What is the betting policy on Doritos?

Oh, never mind. I'm out too.

Guess that just leaves you and me,
professor.

So it does. Does so it does.

Feeling pretty lucky? About as lucky as
Stedman.

Then I suggest we raise the stakes. I
could use a little of that Oprah money.

What do you have in mind?

No ceiling when it takes all?

That's a lot of talk coming from someone
who just got rejected by IHOP.

Well, hop on this.

That's a lot of loot.

2 ,500 to be exact. So, are you in,
Professor?

I'm in.

Unlike that members -only jacket you
sported.

I'm sure she'll take my check.

Oh, I plan to take it.

Cool.

Meet the three Jacks.

Benny, Nicholson, and the Ripper.

That is a nice hand, Professor.

But not a winning hand, see? Meet the
King Triplets. That's Don, Bebe, and

Reverend Martin Luther.

Damn, Professor.

You just got spanked.

Guess a brother can afford a new jacket.

Well, gentlemen, it's been a most
rewarding pleasure.

I trust there's no hard feelings.

Well, there would be if it were my
money.

I'll get it.

Cliff Rogers.

Come on, baby. I'm just having a little
harmless fun with the fellas.

Harmless? You call taking Kim to the
racetrack harmless?

What? She won.

wasn't such a good idea.

But I'm winning now, baby. I just won $2
,500 off the professor.

This mama is so pretty.

It's not what you think, Nick. I can
stop whenever I want.

I don't care if you ever stop.

And if you want to mess your life up
again, that's your business.

But when you drag my daughter into your
sickness, then it becomes my business.

And trust me, you don't want that.

All right, come on, Nick. Just give me
one more chance. Try to reason with her

for me, sweet pea.

I know you were sick.

I just thought you were a lot of fun.

You were on your own.

Give him back that money, Cliff.

No can do, sweetheart.

That's what happens when you play in Mr.
Rogers' neighborhood.

How about you play me one final hand?

What? You heard me. If I win, you give
everyone their money back.

And if I win?

You get to double your money.

Nuh -uh. Not good enough.

If I win... Shoot, I get you.

Yeah!

It's a win -win situation for you, baby.

You really think you can win back my
love with a deck of cards?

You're more pathetic than I thought.

And to think I almost made the mistake
of letting you back into my life.

That I actually believed that you had
changed.

That you had finally become a man.

If you hurry up and deal, I will be a
man.

It's all a game to you, isn't it?

Okay, you're on.

Five card draw.

Nothing's wild.

Except me.

I'll take two.

we need to start thinking about some
important decisions, Nick.

Like, uh, what side of the bed you want
to sleep on, left or right?

What are you kidding? You won't be in
it.

Dealer takes two.

What you got?

Three of the loveliest queens I've ever
seen.

Aretha, Latifah, and Miss RuPaul.

What do you have?

You got me a hot bowl. Whoa!

I'll clean up my things tonight.

Sorry it didn't work out.

You're sorry.

It's been real, gentlemen.

I'm really going to miss you, sweet pea.

You forgive me?

Oh, yeah, I forgive you.

Listen, here's a little something for
you to remember me by. It's my lucky

silver dollar.

It's got two heads.

Yeah, that's why I never lose.

But remember, you got to call first.

And you got to call heads.

That's too much to remember. I'm just
going to spend it.

That's my cab. I'm out.

Listen, I wish things would have turned
out differently, Nick, but it was good

to see you.

Tell me something.

Since when did three queens beat four
aces?

When you decide to do the right thing
for once in your life.

Take care of yourself, Cliff.

Want a pass, Mama?

Dining alone?

Uh, no, no, no. Sure.

I have one lunch in peace. The woman is
romantic.

Excuse me.

She's a one -man... Did you want some?
