- Dear Red Shoes.

It's funny how life can turn on a dime,

and I know a lot about dimes.

Dimes and dollars.

Millions, billions of them.

And I gambled it all, 18 hours a day,

six days a week, sometimes more.

High stakes, high takes, do a deal, spin the wheel,

it was better than Vegas.

Better than Belmont.

I was an,

- I was an investment banker.

I was one of the best.

I gave the game everything I had.

I was always in controol, always.

Elliot.

I'm happy for you, really.

- I know this is gonna sound, trite,

but I'm really really sorry

that things didn't work out between us.

- Don't, okay?

- I'm sorry.

I mean I just, I just couldn't take the competition.

You know, I mean everything is a big game with you,

I just couldn't handle that.

You just wanted to hold all the cards, that's all.

- Excuse me.

All right, well why don't you call

Elliot and ask him?

I know, okay.

But, look, I gotta be at this meeting in 10 minutes.

What do you want me to do?

Why don't you call Elliot and see

what he has to say, because my answer stays the same.

- Whoa, whoa whoa whoa.

Okay, but, I gotta be at this meeting

in 10 minutes, what do you want me to do?

- You ready?

- Yeah, let's go.

Jed, wait!

My wife.

What are you doing?

- I just saw my wife.

- But you're not even married!

- Well I don't think it will be a problem.

- Come on!

Then talk to them.

- Howdy, Ma'am.

Would you marry me?

- Hold on.

What?

- I know it's a little soon, and I don't mean to rush you,

but you see me and my brother,

we just robbed that bank over there,

and we're kind of in a hurry.

I didn't bring a ring with me or anything,

and I haven't met your father.

Hold on a second, I need to call you back, okay?

- I think he'd like me, don't you?

I was thinking along the lines

of a small, intimate wedding.

You know, just a few family members,

a few close friends.

A honeymoon in Hawaii.

I mean, we could always wait a few years

before we had a few kids.

Easy.

Hold it right there.

Drop your guns cowboy, let her go!

- Back off.

Way back.

Or else.

Don't move.

I hope this don't mess things up between us.

Get out of the park, everyone,

outside of the park.

Call for back up.

Oh, great.

You know, I didn't formally introduce myself.

My name's Tom and this here's my brother Jed.

- Fuck you.

Pleased to meet you too, Ma'am.

You guys think you're gonna get away with this?

Did you know that 85% of all kidnappings

are foiled by the cops?

You guys are looking at some serious time.

- I sure hope we don't get caught, Tom.

I mean, we got all those parking tickets we ain't paid.

Yeah, I think they'd impound this vehicle

right on the spot if they catch us.

Yeah, talk about adding

insult to injury, huh?

- Just tell me what you want.

- I bet you have a lot of trouble

holding onto a man.

- You want money, is that what you want?

10, 15, 25 thousand.

Just pull over at any bank and I can give it to you.

But we already been to the bank.

- I'll give you so much money

you'll never have to rob a bank again.

You think we rob banks for money?

- Why else do you rob banks?

Why don't you tell her, Jed?

- Tradition.

Wild Bill Cody was our great great granddaddy.

Nine no help.

Six with the five.

Seven no help.

So, queen bets.

Got me.

Again with the ace, three queen,

an ace with a queen,

Oh yeah.

And a cowboy or two.

Ace bets.

- I'm in there.

All right.

You win some more?

All right.

One more card.

- You know, I can't remember the last time

a man brought me to a campfire.

- You probably frighten them all away.

- But you're not frightened, are you?

- No.

- Maybe you should be.

- Maybe both of us should be.

Love's a scary thing.

- My name's Sara.

- Sara.

Sara honey.

- Mm-mm.

Sara McCloud.

Never has been honey, and never will be.

- You know, I'd like to tell you that,

- Shut the fuck up.

- I'm just trying to help.

- I don't want your help.

I want you to shut up, so just shut up.

I got better things to do with my time

than dick around with a bunch of extras from Bonanza.

So let's just take a little walk to your truck, okay?

- Jed, boys.

She's got me.

Oh dear.

- Cut the bullshit.

I want out of here right now.

There's no bullets in this gun.

I tried to tell you, but you wouldn't listen to me.

- You guys rob banks without bullets?

- No, we never use bullets.

Someone might get hurt.

- So your friends here like to play cards.

Game's called poker.

- Jed, I get the feeling the lady here has played before.

- Yeah, I play.

- What do you play?

- The Dow, the New York Stock Exchange.

NASDAQ, OTB, horses, dogs, football,

pregnancy pools at the office.

You name it, I play it.

But tonight we can just play cards.

All right.

Deal 'em up, let's go.

- Straight stud, no limits, no strings, no wild cards.

I assume you guys have the cash

after your little withdrawal.

Given I'm unprepared, I hope you'll take credit

and or jewelry.

- Shit lady, your watch alone is worth my take.

What is it, one of them fancy Rolodex ones?

- Rolex, Slim.

- My Rolodex is worth a lot more than my Rolex.

- You're pretty important, aren't you?

What do you do?

- I'm an investment banker.

- Ah, you're one of us then.

- Excuse me?

- You rob banks.

- Yep, got a big one to rob tomorrow at 11AM.

I start the bidding at 150.

- I'll raise you 100 dollars.

- Yeah well I wouldn't wipe my behind with this hand.

Excuse me, Miss.

I'm out.

- I'm in 250.

- Ditto.

- Somebody oughta just shoot your cards, Pete.

Put 'em out of their misery.

Oh thanks, Slim.

I'm out.

- You believe in luck, Sara?

Fate?

Draw of the cards?

- No.

I don't believe in luck or fate.

It's for failures.

Instinct, ability, intuition, that's what I believe in.

- Well on the basis of intuition, I call.

- Your intuition's impaired, you'd better concentrate.

On the cards, Tom.

You need to concentrate on the cards.

- And you best be concentrating

on that coffee there, Slim.

This here's my future fiance you're looking at.

- Tom.

Do I get to marry yous?

Being as how I'm an ordained minister and all.

- Sure, you can marry us, Blue.

- All right.

- I say we raise the stakes a little bit.

Money's boring, don't you think?

- Well what do you want to stake, Ma'am?

- Winner dares the loser.

- I'm in for two dares.

- He's got the jack.

I'm telling you right now.

- Let's up the ante.

Tell me, Tom.

What do you value more than anything in this world?

- Freedom.

Freedom.

- Let's make a bet on a freedom.

I win, you take me back into the city tonight,

I turn you into the cops, you get five for armed robbery.

I lose, I marry you for five years.

Do your laundry, cook your food.

Make love with you.

- Now we're going somewhere.

You're a fine woman, Sara McCloud.

And a brave one.

I can't imagine them city boys

giving you a run for your money.

But I think you already know that, don't you?

- I call.

Three jacks, pair of sevens.

You win.

- Blue?

Get out your Bible.

I guess there's gonna be a wedding.

I don't know how to dance to this.

It's a waltz.

Just follow the rhythm.

I'm trying.

- Dearly beloved.

We are gathered here today, tonight.

To join this here man and this here woman

in holy matrimony.

- You're doing fine.

One two three.

- Now, if there's anyone here,

ah hell, blah blah blah, you all know this part here.

I now pronounce you husband and wife.

You may kiss the bride.

- You know my daddy used to tell me,

that gamblers were the most honest people he ever knew.

He said that if they were willing to risk everything,

that they'd also risk telling the truth.

And he also said, that gamblers who cheat,

were nothing but liars and thieves.

- Don't you think that,

- Have you ever cheated?

- Put that right down there, Mister.

That's good.

Now get back there.

Howdy Ma'am.

Would you mind putting the rest

of that nice pretty money in this bags out right here?

Thank you, thank you very much.

You have a nice day.

What?

Okie doke, so good, thank you.

Have a nice day.

- Oh don't cry, please?

- But it's my anniversary.

20 years,

- How about if we sing a song?

When I was little and got scared,

my ma would make us sing, and I always felt better.

What shall we sing?

What does everyone know?

Ladies and gentlemen, according to my research,

federal security stocks have risen

3.23% in the last quarter.

Though this sounds good, it's quite the opposite.

Our competitors, gentlemen, are showing improvements

of five to 10 percent.

For instance, you know last night, I cheated at cards.

It's a real shitty thing.

- That's right.

You break the law, you're bound to get caught.

Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you

to our new security consultant, Tom Cody.

His family's been in banking ever since the Mayflower.

Why don't you tell them what you know, Tom?

I think it can wait 'till later.

- You can cheat at cards, but you can't cheat at love.

That's why love is the ultimate risk.

The ultimate gamble.

Staking everything on one turn of pitch and toss.

Knowing you could lose, but doing it anyway.

Ain't that the truth, Stella.

Even in a dog's world. 346
