Another lovely night.

Good evening. Hi.

A drink, perhaps?

Maybe. Is this the red -marking lounge?

It was last night.

Oh, good.

I'm meeting a friend here.

Cosmopolitan. Wow.

How'd you know?

My friend's name is Rita. Do you know her?

Rita isn't here yet.

We work together.

In accounting.

Numbers.

You really don't like the numbers.

How did you know my name?

We've been here for a while.

The bar.

Oh. Rita must come here a lot.

No. Not really.

I actually don't normally come into places like this.

Places like this?

You know, bars.

This is a cocktail.

Oh, I wasn't being rude. I'm sorry.

Yeah, that's okay. We're very friendly.

The lady's room's over there.

How did you...

Thank you.

oh oh

Bye.

Why?

Oh!

Teresa was once a bar -hopping hottie.

A what?

That's what the girls called themselves.

They'd work all day at foolish little jobs, and then bar -hop all night.

I don't do that.

I can see that.

Actually, I think my girlfriend has stood me up.

Perhaps you should go speak with Teresa.

I don't know.

It was like he had seen me before.

He even knew my favorite drink.

But how was it?

Felt weird. Like I'd been there before.

Maybe you have.

I think I remember.

I mean, that kind of place isn't really run -of -the -mill.

How many places have you ever been to, Carol?

Really? I've been lots of places.

Lots? I have fun when I want to.

When was the last time you wanted to?

Are you going back tonight?

Now why would I do that?

Because you want to.

Why didn't you show up anyway?

Sounds like you didn't need me there yet.

What's that supposed to mean?

Maybe I'll show up tonight.

I'm not going back there.

Sure you are.

Can I get you something, butterfly?

Hi, I'm just waiting for a friend.

That's too nice, bar hopping for a friend.

No, no, this is the only place I go.

I don't do this.

Where's the guy who was here last night, the bartender?

Sam is here.

Sam is always here.

I'm gonna wait in the lounge.

I'd think of a great icebreaker, but I don't think it would fly with you too

well. I'm sorry, what?

Teresa's a great hostess, don't you think?

Yeah, definitely.

When are you coming back to the cocktail lounge?

I'm here right now.

No, you're not.

You're here, but you're not here.

I should go.

Why? You just got here.

Five cards and a thousand ways to win.

You're a lucky girl, Bill Fogg.

I think you should get a drink at the bar.

um

oh yeah

Wow.

Thank you.

oh oh

I love you.

Please.

Oh.

Thank you.

Oh.

Oh.

I'm not going there again.

Oh, really?

The place freaks me out.

I don't know what it is, but I'm not going back.

Would it have made a difference if I'd been there with you?

Yeah. Isn't that the whole reason I keep going?

To see you there?

What makes you think you need me there to help you?

It's like a dream. Like I'm not really there.

I wouldn't have sent you back there if I didn't think it was where you belong.

Well, I'm not going back.

What did Frank say?

The weird card guy?

Yeah, what did he draw?

All hearts.

All hearts?

Except the last one.

What was that?

Queen.

Black. Spades, I think.

Carol, you need to figure this out.

The hearts will all turn black.

I don't get it.

What are you trying to do to me?

Nothing you haven't already started.

I don't know, Rita.

I don't know.

I need to see Frank.

Why?

He drew the cards for you. They're wrong. He needs to draw again.

A card, you're not wrong.

They only tell you what you already know.

They're wrong, and I need them to be drawn again.

No, don't have them drawn again.

Not yet.

I have to know.

No, listen, Carol.

One card of red means hope.

Only fools rush in where angels can tread.

Not I.

Back for another game.

I need you to drop me again.

I don't think you're ready.

I have to know why I keep coming here.

It's simple.

It owns you.

I don't believe that. I can stop coming anytime.

Of course you can. And that's why you've come back.

See? The cards are yours, Carol.

You tell me what they will pull again.

I can prove it.

What's so funny?

You move like an old maid.

I can be sexy if I wanted to.

And right now you just don't want to, then.

What would you know, anyways? Taking off my clothes isn't sexy.

Bingo. You just don't have it, sister.

It isn't about the clothes, sweetheart.

It's how you wear them.

I've seen men melt when a woman wearing a full tuxedo enters the room. Or long

johns and a fur cap.

It's the show, honey.

It's not the props then what do I do?

At the bar

Why didn't she ever show up before?

You needed her too much.

If I needed her, why now and not before?

You were lost, Carol, and she found you.

No.

No, that's not correct.

She didn't find me.

I found her.

What does this all mean?

A new beginning.

And this?

Does it really matter what becomes of this?

I just... I feel weird walking away from it.

It won't miss you.

It never does.

Yeah.

Someone else will soon enough be chained in my place.

Before you even hit the door.

Really.

Why did I do this?

Because someone told you that you'd have to?

Who told them?

Someone else before.

And so on, and so on.

I don't understand this anymore.

Good. You don't need to.

So is that it?

Am I done?

No. You know what comes next.

I have to beat him, don't I?

No. But you still have to speak to him again.

Why? Why can't I just go on?

Because he still holds the deck.

And after that?

That's for you to decide.

There's never a plan.

It's just an end.

Cosmopolitan? Yeah. Thanks, Sam.

He's still in there.

What if... What if I just left him in there?

Well, then he'll always be here.

Following. Waiting.

Has he always been here?

Not always.

You brought him here.

I didn't know.

Most never did.

You're lucky.

I mean, most never know he's here when they bring him.

What happens to them?

They just go on.

Never know.

Never.

One day they find out.

And then he has them.

And not even memory can take him away.

Back for another game.

Not this time.

Oh, really?

Don't you want to know what they would reveal?

I don't need to.

Everyone wants to know.

It's in their nature.

Not me. Not anymore.

I will always be with you.

No one can rid of me completely.

I know that.

But that's why I don't need to see the cards.

Do you really think that you can defeat me?

I don't plan on it.

You see.

No one can hide from fear and doubt.

I don't plan it anymore.

Can't you see the cards?

You have nothing red left.

Those cards weren't for me.

They're yours.

I will always be here.

And we'll embrace them so that they cannot embrace me.

Thank you.
