Would you like to do some?

Certainly. Do I look like the type of man on the line?

Why did you only invite him then?

It might be fun to see him squirm.

Do you know what he wants?

$500 ,000.

Should I scrub that too?

Oh,

yes.

Gently.

i'll watch

Selfish man, Neil Richmond.

Ah, I thought you married me for my money.

I did.

The other doesn't hurt.

Does that bother you much?

It does now.

Oh, same.

How much would you pay me to take care of it for you?

A dollar.

Ten!

Five.

Done. Get up in the...

I think that's it.

I just wanna talk.

What is it?

Telephone, Miss Richmond.

Mr. Hale called to say that he and Mrs. Hale would be late for dinner. He said

there'd be about an hour delay.

What happened?

He didn't say.

Will there be anything else?

No, no. My briefcase is in the car in the back seat. Could you get it?

Yes, sir.

Oh, Barbara.

I love you.

Baby.

Come to me, Mama.

I love you, Bobby.

My baby.

It's about time.

Where'd you have to go? To the goddamn Middle East for that gas?

I didn't hear you volunteer to go get it.

Me? It was you who didn't fill up the car on the way home from work in the

goddamn first place.

I forgot.

I was thinking about this money deal with Neil and... Look, I'm sorry.

It was completely my fault.

Lighten up, will you?

You lighten up.

You and your fancy dance money deals that don't make us a goddamn penny.

Why don't you stick to selling Tampax in your little drugstore and leave the

thinking to those who can do it?

Like Neil Richmond?

Exactly. Did you at least remember to call them and tell them we'd be late?

Yes. Well, hallelujah.

Doug finally remembered to take care of some business.

Whatever came over you.

I had the impression you've been satisfied with some of the business I've

care of.

Just barely.

Cream in your coffee?

Yes, thank you.

That was a delicious dinner.

Too bad we were so late.

But it was worth the wait, wasn't it, Doug?

Wasn't it Doug?

Oh, sure. It was.

It's a sound investment, Neil. I know it. The property's bound to appreciate

even without development.

And if we develop this little island paradise of yours? The way vacation

are going, now the sky's the limit.

Two years ago, a condominium on a nearby island sold for $10 ,000.

Now it's worth $30 ,000 or $40 ,000.

Believe me, Neil, we can't lose.

Really? Do you gamble much?

I don't understand what you mean.

Well, if you did, let's say, play horses, poker, craps, you would realize

there is no such thing as a sure winner.

Now, let me show you something.

Gretchen, bring some cards.

I wish I could sew. I find it so hard to find clothes that fit.

Oh, with a body like yours, that shouldn't be hard.

The idea of this game is to keep your eye on the red queen.

Which card do you think it is?

This one.

Really? Sure, it's the middle one.

Okay, turn it over.

So that wasn't hard.

Well, it wasn't a gamble either.

Only becomes difficult when you have something to win or lose.

Would you like to make a bet this time?

I'm game. What do you want to bet?

Say $20 against a kiss from your wife, Lisa.

Sure, but I don't want to take your money just like that.

Oh, don't worry. I can afford it.

Ready?

Now which card is it?

The middle one.

Go ahead, turn it over.

Amazing.

Could I collect my bet now?

Sure, go ahead. A bet's a bet.

Would you like to try again, Doug?

I don't know. Are you as good as Neil?

Oh, I'm just learning.

Same bet, a kiss?

I can't lose.

Which one do you think it is?

This one.

Damn, how do you do that?

It's a little game called Three Card Monty.

There's a trick to it, but I'm not going to tell you what it is.

Barbara, collect your bet.

That was the bet, wasn't it?

Grab your brandy, Doug.

I'll show you my pinballs.

What? Did Doug bring it?

Do you want me to do it?

No, I'll do it.

I thought about you all day today.

Oh?

You should have done something about it.

I did.

You're pretty good at that.

I grew up two blocks from Coney Island. Football's our national sport.

Really? How would you like to make a wager on the next game?

How much?

A dollar a point.

Let's make it two.

I'm Grant.

You better get back to him.

I might, aren't I?

This is your last ball, Bill. You gotta be gentle with it.

Well, how much do I owe you?

Exactly 152 dollars.

Wanna play another game?

Sure, how else am I gonna win my money back?

There.

Let's do something we can all play.

Like what?

Poker.

Three.

Three

-ten.

$300 worth of chips.

Two jacks.

That was good, Doug.

Maybe you are a gambler after all.

About time.

Who opens?

What do you say we raise the stakes?

$100 limit?

Count me out.

I guess I'm just not good at this.

I'm sure you have a thousand other talents.

$50.

And a hundred more.

I'll see it.

How many, Doug?

I'll play with these.

We'll take three.

Open for 100.

I'll raise another 100.

I'll see the bet and raise another 50.

That's all I have.

Too bad. I'll raise another hundred.

You just can't raise me out like that.

I just did.

But I've got a winning hand.

What will you bet on it?

Anything. He has nothing else to bet.

Of course he does.

He's got Lisa.

Can I ask Lisa if she will?

We can see that's not necessary.

What'll you put up?

Against your wife?

Anything you'd like, Doug, my boy.

Half a million?

That's pretty steep, Doug.

Is it a bet?

I'll take her blouse for my deposit.

I'll call.

No.

My bet is in plain view.

I don't see a half a million dollars.

Gretchen?

My checkbook.

Any bank in the world will cash that.

Or Queen.

Very good, Doug. I thought you were bluffing.

I've only got two pair.

But they're both kings.

Too bad, Doug.

That's a bet, old man.

Are you sure there'll be no trace?

Certain. The lady's breathing right now. The drug will break down right away.

Exactly like a heart attack.

How much longer will it take?

He's on borrowed time now.

I think someone better call an ambulance.

You'd better tell us what happened here.

Oh, poor Neil.

I can't believe he's gone.

I was the one on the bottom.

It was tragic.

Tragic.

Perfect. It was perfect.

Brilliant. That's what it was.

We really should not be seen together for a while, you know.

Sure, I know. What do you think, I'm a tourist? No one knows I'm here.

Damn, it was easy.

When do you think I can cash the check?

Not for a while.

Where do you have it?

It's in my coat pocket.

I feel safer when I carry it.

Did you see the look on the detective's face when you told him how Neil got his

heart attack?

It was priceless.

And then little Lisa comes up with her...

I was the one on the bottom.

I thought the cop was going to have an attack of his own.

Let's not talk about it anymore.

I was just coming to that.

Thank you.

Doug, there's one small detail left.

What's that?

You, darling.

You.

Come to mama.
