Chow time.

( Bells jingling )

Over here.

Thompson?

That's right.

Took you long enough.

It's my first day on the job.

These fuckin' shoes

are killin' me.

Pepperoni, hard crust.

That's me.

Extra cheese.

That's mine.

Mushrooms, anchovies.

Right.

So what's the damage?

Hold on. I haven't

figured that out.

So what do we owe you?

560 grand.

♪♪

Cabbie: So what brings you

to our fair city?

You say the hen house.

Fine.

Since you asked how far it is,

I figured you'd never

been there before.

Not that I'm knockin' it,

but what's the harm I point out

other options, huh?

This woman I know, she was

a dancer at the tropicana

till she tore a ligament.

She's no cripple or anything,

but till she recovers she's been

forced to...Do other things.

She cost more than

the hen house...

But I never took anybody to her

said it wasn't worth it.

So what do you say,

you interested?

Welcome to the hen house,

where your slightest wish

is our command.

From left to right,

for your consideration...

Tiffany...alice...

Kitty...irene...

Beverly.

What's your pleasure?

Do you want a hanger?

( Man grunting )

Have you ever been here

before?

My name is Irene.

( Gurgling )

Why don't I loosen this,

huh?

Are you okay...

Sir?!

( Chatter )

2600 on the nine.

( Chatter )

Hard way, a nickel each.

( Chatter )

( Applause )

( Chatter )

Not the hard way!

( Chatter continues )

Comin' out, shooter new,

turn 'em out, crap check,

need nine wheels, shooter

make a nine this time...

(Dealer continues patter)

( Chatter, applause )

Oh, what a night,

guy wins ten grand, no tokes.

Breakfast?

Yeah, I'm hungry.

Where do you want to go?

( Chatter )

That's all?

That's all.

You're four weeks behind.

Sue me.

( Chuckles )

I love ya, Johnny,

but you gotta do better.

Is that a threat?

Let's just call it

a friendly reminder.

Okay.

Everything okay?

Yeah, let's go. I'm hungry.

The guy shot twelve straight

passes. Twelve. Where are

those hands when I'm on the

other side of the table?

And the fuckin' guy

wasn't pressing.

What did I say?

No shop talk.

No talk, period.

Unless it's vital, like

you gotta take a leak.

Pardon me.

Tee-off time,

two o'clock, right?

Not today.

Oh, first Friday. I forgot.

Good morning.

Good morning, Ethel,

how are ya?

She slept like a top.

She had a headache

before she went to sleep.

Well, she's fine. Good.

Here's what we need.

Right.

Plus coffee, which I forgot.

Sure. Thanks.

Yeah, have a good one.

So what's "first Friday"?

First Friday every month

since his wife died, he visits

this dame at the hen house.

It's the same one every time?

For over a year.

You want toast

or English muffin?

I want a Danish.

We're fresh out.

Okay, a muffin.

Dad, Alma's family invited me

to go to Disneyland this

weekend. Can I go?

Have her mother call me.

Okay.

Any celebrities last night?

Tom Cruise.

At your table?

Passing through the casino.

You actually saw him?

With my very own eyes.

Hey--

hey! You forget something?

Oh, yeah.

Bye, dad.

Girl: Stacy, come on!

Woman: Bye, honey,

have a good day.

Police radio: Koa-560,

say again. Are you

1080 or 1099?

560, 1099.

Koa-521...

As as I know what happened.

It's very difficult for me

to-- a complete accident.

We had absolutely nothing

to do with it.

Excuse me.

Boy, am I glad to see you.

What's going on?

A customer about to

saddle up croaked.

Who was the guy?

I never saw him before.

Who was the girl?

Irene. She's all upset.

Maybe you could calm her down

enough that the cops can

ask her some questions.

Me?

She said to send you in.

She said you're the only one

she'll talk to.

So help me god.

( Knock on door )

( Sobbing loudly )

Go away!

It's me. Johnny Tobin.

( Crying )

( Sobbing )

Sorry what happened.

Save it.

You see a guy steady, you get

an idea what he's like, even

though he doesn't say much.

I think you're okay.

Am I right?

Strike the question.

You're okay, you're not okay;

you are the only chance

I've got.

Do you want to clue me

where this is going?

If a big jackpot dropped in

your lap, would you take

a slight risk to keep it?

It all depends on what you

mean by "jackpot" and "slight."

Five hundred and forty grand

split down the middle.

Killing's out of my line.

Nothing like that.

If it's such a breeze,

why fifty-fifty?

In my book, partners means

equal, or it don't mean shit.

Why me?

Like I said, I think

you're a stand-up guy.

Skip the massage.

My mistake.

Not necessarily.

Are you interested?

Enough to listen.

Remember the guy last year

gambled a million on one

crap shoot? Made all the papers.

That the guy who lost, blew

his brains out the next day?

That's not the point

of the story.

Want to hear some more?

Well?

She says it's okay if you

want to talk, but keep it short.

She's very upset.

I owe you one, pal.

Announcement: Price check

on aisle five.

Pardon me--

you're late.

It's you!

Isn't here where we're

supposed to meet?

I wouldn't have known you

in a hundred years.

Expect me to show up

in work clothes?

No, no, I mean,

everything about you.

Look, do you mind if we

get down to business?

Right.

I checked.

Any bet over ten grand you have

to get a casino executive's

permission to waive the limit,

and then you have to fill out

a regulation form 6a.

What for?

So the IRS gets a piece

of your action.

Woman: Swatter? What?

Fly swatter.

Oh.

Sorry.

I don't like it about the form.

There's more. You have to

show them identification.

Driver's license,

social security.

( Clicking )

Pshoo! Pshoo!

Let's get out of here.

Woman: Billy, where are you?

Thanks.

How do you know

the money's not hot?

I don't.

Worst case: A guy with

a badge asking me what am

I doing with the take from

an armored car heist

or god knows what.

What do I say?

You say a man you never met

before offered you ten percent

to bet it for him.

Why doesn't he

bet it himself?

Maybe he doesn't know

from craps.

Why does he come to me?

He heard you're tops

and honest.

From who?

Lots of people.

You don't give yourself

too much credit.

Don't butter me.

Listen, when your wife died,

you boozed and gambled

until you touched the bottom.

You've got markers

all over town.

This is your chance to square

them, maybe get ahead.

How the hell do you

know all that about me?

You see a guy steady,

get curious about him,

ask questions.

( Sighs ) Listen, maybe this is

all too much for you.

Child psychology?

I figure the dead guy was

delivering that money, which

means the people who sent it and

the people who are waiting for

it are pretty nervous by now.

Soon someone is gonna

knock on my door.

So it's now or never.

Are you in or out?

I shoot it all in one roll,

I win, you give them back the

money, and we divvy up the rest.

Right.

I lose, they come knocking

on your door.

That's my problem.

Until you mention me.

I told you,

I'll never mention you.

You don't know

what they're like.

You don't know

what I am like.

I got a kid to worry about.

A bright kid who's gonna

want to go to colleges

you can't afford.

Anything about me

you don't know?

Yeah...

Whether you're in or out.

(Sighs) You gonna go through

with it no matter what?

Do you know any other way

I'm gonna make a career change?

What are you doing?

What do you think I'm doing?

Are you out?

Right.

Five hundred and sixty thousand.

You mean five-forty.

Five-sixty. I counted it

three times.

Lo and behold,

an honest man.

I don't know about honest,

but savvy enough to know

when I'm being tested,

and resent it.

Damn right.

A girl can't be too careful.

Being partners means 50-50

or it don't mean shit, right?

I meant it.

( Ignition stuttering )

It's flooded.

I know that.

Give it a rest.

You want to check the oil

and water while you're at it?

Look, suppose there was a way

to pull it off so nobody

could connect you?

Suppose I could fly.

Wait.

Tell me.

You fought in Vietnam.

What about it?

How about military?

Admiral? General?

Take your pick.

Besides everything else,

impersonating an officer?

No, thanks.

Got it!

What size hat do you wear?

I don't wear a hat.

If you did? No idea.

How about shoes?

Ten medium. Why?

Yes, ma'am.

I have a reservation

for petrillo.

Petrillo.

P-e-t-r-i-l--

right. You alone?

Yes.

I'll be glad to show you

to your room.

That's not necessary.

( Sighs )

How much longer?

Johnny: Maybe never.

Ten medium?

Well, that's what

I asked for.

They're too big!

Okay, do something.

Wear two pair of socks.

Stuff kleenex. Do something.

I don't know.

What do you think?

Turn around.

The hat doesn't feel right.

( Laughs )

Forget it.

No. No, no, no. No.

( Laughing )

( Laughing harder )

( Both laughing )

Congratulations.

For what?

First time I saw you laugh.

Eighty-six this.

There.

I still don't like it.

I'm not through yet.

Now hold-- hold still.

Don't move, I'll cut you.

Hold still. There.

Wow! Come and see it.

Come. Come see it.

Well?

I think I bought a used car

from that guy.

You want some powder?

Makeup?

Yeah.

No.

What's the matter?

You don't sound like a texan.

I don't do accents.

Try.

Howdy, ma'am.

I was just wonderin' if--

cut it. Cut it.

I warned you.

Apologies for doubting you.

So what do I do?

Talk as little as possible.

Got a date?

My kid gets out of school

at four o'clock.

Man: He's from Texas?

Irene: Yes.

What part?

Where the oil is.

Vital statistics.

"Billy Joe Houston"?

Anything wrong with that?

Overkill.

How about "Joseph Williams"?

Fine with me. You?

Yeah.

I'll make his peepers Hazel.

They're brown.

What do you say?

They're his peepers.

Think wars and famine.

What?

Don't smile.

Watch the birdy.

Johnny: It's a helluva job.

Irene: He's the best.

How much?

Zip.

How come?

He owes me.

For what?

Oh. Pardon me.

You call the casino at 3 A.M.

They say I can't come

to the phone. You say--

I say it's an emergency,

your kid's sick.

If you don't call, I know

there's something wrong,

sit tight.

I will call.

The number is--

6-3-5-4-2-7-1.

Your kid's still home

in ten minutes.

6-3-5-4-2-7-1.

Alma and I are gonna

have our own room at

the Disneyland hotel.

Right next to her

parents' room, I hope.

Dad, this one or this one?

That's a tough call.

I'll take both.

Just in case anything happens

and I'm not here, you call

aunt Mabel, right?

Dad, you're always here.

Just in case.

I better take sneakers

for walking.

You know aunt Mabel's number?

And a sweater.

Are you listening to me?

Yes.

What did I say?

What you always say

when I go anywhere.

Mister worry wart, right?

Oh, dad.

Mom: Don't worry about her.

Bye, dad.

Are you the gentleman

that called?

I am.

That's him.

I was about to notify

his next of kin--

I'll take care of everything.

( Telephone rings )

Hello.

Irene: Did you bring home

any souvenirs from Vietnam?

Guns?

You got one, bring it.

For what?

Insurance.

Guns are out!

Suit yourself.

(Hangs up)

( Honks horn )

( Honking )

I birdied the 10th and 11th.

Then the wheels came off.

He double-bogeyed

the next three holes.

Anybody home?

What?

What sort of day

did you have?

The usual.

Why?

You look tired.

I'm fine.

( Chatter )

Two craps three.

One two, ace two.

Stays deuce and craps.

Thank you, gentlemen.

Eight the hard way.

Six bucks right here.

On the line.

Thirty dollars on the horn.

I'll take one.

Dealer takes three.

Woman: Check.

Man: Five.

Man #2: Call.

I call the five.

I fold.

Flush.

Two pair.

That's it for me.

Ahh.

We got a seat open.

What?

We got a seat open.

No, thanks.

You sure?

Positive.

That's too bad.

Why?

I heard you used to be

quite a player in your day.

Hey, button it.

What did I say?

I was hoping you sit in,

I might learn something.

Shuffle 'em.

Cut 'em.

High card for ten grand.

I don't have ten grand.

I'll take your marker.

Well?

No.

Time to go back to work.

You want another lesson,

let me know.

( Chatter )

( Inaudible under chatter )

Did you call the doctor?

How soon?

Okay.

What?

The kid's got an ear ache.

Fever?

102. The housekeeper

sent for the doctor.

I was you, I'd be there.

You think so?

Kids and ear infections,

you never know.

Taxi!

( Knock on door )

Yeah?

Johnny: It's me.

I didn't hear you pull up.

I got off a block away.

Good thinking.

Hurry up and get ready.

Let's do it.

Look, if I had any doubts

that you could pull it off,

I'm out of here.

Why two?

For the winnings.

I wish I had your confidence.

So do I.

( Knock on door )

Who is it?

Desk clerk.

What do you want?

I saw your light.

Wondered if there was anything

I could do for you.

No, thanks.

You think anything, call me.

Creep.

Johnny: Suppose I come out

and there's no cab.

There's always a cab.

Suppose for the first time

in history there isn't.

Before you go in,

pay one to wait.

I hope you're not as jumpy

as you sound.

Hope again.

How did you survive Vietnam?

Carefully.

Oh, shit!

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Just thought of something.

The money.

What about it?

Open it.

Look how it's wrapped.

So what?

So if I don't give it back

the same way it looks now,

they are gonna smell a rat.

Money plays.

What?

Before I roll the dice

I say, "money plays."

That means I don't want my money

converted into chips.

If I win, I get the money back

the same as it was.

"Money plays"?

That's right.

( Exhales ) Are you sure

about the "money plays"?

Now who's jumpy?

If you think anyone is

following you, lose them

before you reach the mall.

Roger. Anything else?

You're gonna win.

Your mouth, god's ear.

I'm positive.

How do you know I win,

I don't stiff you, take off?

Go and get 'em, tiger.

Go on.

Something I can do for you?

I'd like to waive the limit.

How much?

Five hundred and sixty

thousand.

You're on.

Woman: What's going on?

Man: He's gonna do

half a million dollars.

Man #2: What?!

I don't believe it!

Half a million, cash!

Who is this guy?

The guy with the hat.

Half a million?

He must be nuts!

He's crazy!

Whenever you're ready, Tex.

Now.

Call it.

Five hundred and sixty

thousand say they do.

Money plays.

Five hundred and sixty

thousand, he passes,

money plays.

I'll take the same thing

for twenty dollars.

Table's closed.

Hold it. Let her in.

Okay, lady.

But nobody else.

Mi dios.

( Speaking Portuguese )

Please.

Oh...

Well?

Guess.

I think I know, but say it.

You can't win 'em all.

Ohhh!

Nobody recognized me.

Isn't that wonderful?

Don't you want the details?

Maybe years from now.

Right now I'm wondering

where to hide.

Why?

Because suddenly

I'm scared shitless.

They can't squeeze blood

from a stone.

They can try.

Not when you show them this.

You didn't go through

with it.

Try again.

I give up.

Come out roll, I sevened.

You won.

We won.

Where's the winnings?

Here.

And here.

And here.

And here!

You son of a bitch!

( Joyous laughter )

Mmm!

What are you gonna do

about the cowboy stuff?

I'll get rid of it.

It's done.

Two hundred and eighty thousand

for me, two hundred and eighty

thousand for you.

Where are you gonna hide

their dough till they show up?

Safe deposit box.

I opened it yesterday.

How is that for positive

thinking, huh?

Oh. What are you

gonna do about this?

I'll take care of it

right now.

It's getting late.

I enjoyed doing business

with you.

Likewise.

Good luck.

Sounds final.

Can you think of any reason

we should meet again?

Well?

No.

Me neither.

( Chatter )

Barney. Curtis.

How is she?

The doctor prescribes

antibiotics.

She's gonna be fine.

Stinking punta!

Announcement: Flight 362

from New York now arriving

at gate ten.

Final boarding call

for flight 335, now boarding

at gate 21.

( Chatter )

(Switching radio stations)

Give US a break.

Soon as I get a Lakers score.

Radio: According to

a spokesman for the royal oasis

casino--

hold it. Let's hear that.

Radio: ...One case containing

in excess of half a million

dollars, the other empty.

On his first roll, the man

threw a seven, and moments

later, both attache cases

filled, he vanished.

Some balls, huh?

Depends.

Don't take balls

to shoot half a mill?

Not if you've got

a hundred mill.

What do you say?

Half a mill is pocket money

to some of these texan guys.

Who said anything

about Texas?

( Knock on door )

Yeah, come in.

Hi.

Hi. Something I can do

for you gentlemen?

We hope so.

A guy died here

the other night.

Yeah.

We're here to get

his personal effects.

Uh, I gave everything

there was to the sheriff.

Everything?

Including his wallet,

just the way it was.

Are you, um,

you guys family?

You could say that.

Well, aside from the wallet

there was a...

There was a tie clasp.

And there was a watch.

And...?

And that's it.

Maybe you forgot something.

No, i--

I got a list. Yeah,

I'll show you guys the list.

You think there's something

not on the list, he'd say?

Ya know, I'm not sure.

Oomph!

Now tell me something besides

the wallet, the tie clasp,

and the watch.

There's nothin' to tell.

You believe him now?

Yeah, I believe him.

Why?

He'd rat his mother

not to be hit again.

You would?

Yeah.

Oooh!

That's for your mother.

Now get the dame that was

with him when it happened here.

She, uh, she--

she took off a few days.

She just left, she said she

needed a few days off.

Oh, yeah? Where?

Uh, I got no idea.

So help me.

Oh, shit.

( Telephone rings )

Hello.

Irene: It's me.

What happened?

Bank's closed.

So sit on it until Monday.

The desk clerk jumped me.

I cold-cocked him.

You what?

I cold-cocked him.

I knocked him out.

Find some other place

to stay.

He's got my license number.

Suppose he calls the cops.

( Sighs )

Still there?

That's it.

You sure?

What did I miss?

Maybe you tell me what you're

looking for I could be helpful?

We expect you to

do that anyway.

When you left, this desk

clerk, he was breathing?

Yes.

You checked?

Look, how bad could

I hurt him with this?

You didn't check.

Hey, I was in a hurry, okay?

This guy falls, hits his

head, dies, we're talking

about manslaughter here.

The bright side of

everything.

What's that number?

7-6-5-1000.

( Dialing )

Desert bloom motel.

Good morning.

That's him. Feel better?

Yeah.

It's okay if I smoke?

No.

Look, I cannot go without

a cigarette for 48 hours.

Then find some other place

to stay.

Any other regulations?

Don't go near the windows.

Don't use the phone.

If you play the television,

you play it soft.

I think I'll have

another cup of coffee

and I'm outta here.

Suit yourself.

Where are you going?

To bed. I'm on the

graveyard shift, remember?

( Sighs )

Spano: Uh...

Anybody knows where Irene went,

it's worth something.

How much?

Where is she?

I don't know.

Well, how come you

said "how much"?

Force of habit.

Look, mister, we don't know

anything about Irene.

"Good morning," "good night,"

"pass the sugar," that's it.

Strictly a loner,

like I said.

What's wrong?

I was expecting someone else.

We got the impression you

wanted to tell US something,

but didn't because of

the other girls.

No.

You don't say that

convincingly.

I swear, I don't know

anything about Irene.

Honestly.

( Locks door )

I'm still not convinced.

Now...

Tell me again.

Yeah, right.

Yes. They want to know

her last name.

Uh, Lawrence.

But chances are it's phony.

Irene Lawrence.

There's no leads,

but we're working on it.

( Girl screams )

( Screaming continues )

Satisfied?

Irene: You want breakfast

or dinner?

Well?

Breakfast.

Eggs and bacon? Pancakes?

Both.

How's the coffee?

It's okay.

Not too strong?

No. Not for me.

How does it feel to be

a celebrity?

What?

Pagina tres.

What?

Page three. One, two, three.

"Cowboy corrals half million-

plus on one roll of dice."

They bought it.

Hook, line and stetson.

What about the stetson?

The boots. All that stuff.

What about it?

You were supposed to take

them from the motel.

I knew I forgot something.

Just kidding!

They're in the car.

You were supposed to

get rid of them.

I will. Would you

please relax?

Let's see. Seven hours,

ten minutes, thirteen seconds.

This is the longest time

I've been without a cigarette

since high school.

Only forty more hours to go.

Thank you.

Where is Stacy?

You know her name?

Like I said, you see a guy

steady, you get curious,

ask questions.

She's gone to Disneyland.

What else have you got on me?

Well, let me see.

You're doing a great job

raising the kid, and you're

a little bit of a tight-ass.

Who told you that?

About the kid,

several people.

Tight-ass, it's my own opinion.

Based on what?

You like things in

compartments, you know?

Me at the hen house,

once a month, fine.

Me here in your house,

it's driving you crazy.

No, it isn't.

You finished with this?

Guess so.

So...whatever you usually do

before you go to work,

just do it as if

I wasn't here, okay?

So, what do you usually do?

Sometimes we watch

television, sometimes

Stacy and I play scrabble.

It's a word game.

I know what it is.

Next of kin, none.

Permanent residence, none.

Strike two.

She left most of her things.

Wouldn't you, you were

gonna take a powder?

I still say

she's coming back.

Well, for your sake,

I hope so.

For my sake?

We don't find her,

we're in trouble.

And if we're in trouble,

you are in worse.

Irene: "T."

T-a-b-a-n-i-d.

"Tabanid"?

Never heard of it.

A blood-sucking insect.

Never heard of it.

Be my guest.

"A blood-sucking insect."

So, ten doubled is twenty,

and I go again.

Why?

Because if you challenge

a word that's okay,

you forfeit a turn.

Since when?

That's the rules.

Read them and weep.

It's not the way

Stacy and I play.

It's grown-up time.

You'd never know

from your score.

That was just to trick you.

Yeah?

Want to make it interesting?

How much?

Five hundred a game.

You're on.

( Telephone rings )

Hello.

Stacy: Hi, dad.

Oh, uh, just a minute.

It's my kid.

Okay.

I'll just be a second.

Take your time.

Hi, sweetheart.

How's it goin'?

Oh, yeah?

TV: Well, we meet again

by accident.

I'll say that you remind me

of someone I loved once

in Paris.

I think I better go in now.

( Irene sniffling )

It's only a movie.

( Turns off TV )

Anything but that.

But what?

When I was a kid

my mother and I went to the

movies every Saturday, and if

I get scared or sad, she'd say,

"it's only a movie."

Where was that?

You mean where did I grow up?

Yeah.

Why?

Well, you know, like you say,

you see a person steady, you

get curious, you ask questions.

Never asked before.

Well, I'm asking now.

Well?

Where do you think I'm from?

South America. Where?

No idea.

Maybe we should

keep it that way.

Fine.

Fine.

( Car horn honks )

Give me a minute!

Don't touch the phone.

Don't answer the door.

Stay away from the windows.

If it's an emergency,

call me, but only if

it's an emergency.

How about if you have

to call me?

For what?

I don't know. You broke

a leg? I don't know.

Phone rings three times,

stops, rings three more times

again, it's me.

It's cockeyed.

Cockeyed?

Your tie, it's cockeyed.

How about smoking?

What about it?

No inspirational words?

I smell smoke I get back,

you're history.

Just what I needed.

Look. It's okay?

Yes. Thank you.

You're very welcome.

Brazil.

What?

I'm from Brazil.

Oh.

( Horn honking )

Hey!

How's Stacy feelin'?

She's fine. Thanks.

You must be psychic.

Why?

That guy that won

the half mill, he was

a texan, just like you guessed.

No kidding.

Okay, I got it.

She made one call after

the guy croaked, to the

desert bloom motel.

Local?

Yeah. I'm gonna write down

how you guys get there.

Better you show US.

Uh, it's a busy night, i--

I can't get away.

If you like, I'll take ya.

( Chatter )

Seven out, seven away,

last in the open space,

seven out.

Don't forget your color, boss.

Better count that again.

Six in, six to win.

What's with you?

Nothing.

Six in.

Make it six. Six to win.

( Telephone rings )

( Rings )

( Rings )

( Dialing )

( Rings )

( Rings )

Hello?

Hello?

It's me.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Why the call?

I just wanted to make sure

everything was okay.

(Yawns) Everything is okay.

I'm sorry I woke you.

No harm.

Anything else?

Well?

Somebody else wants

to use the phone.

Yes, sir.

I'm looking for a very

attractive woman, drives

a sporty red car, might have

checked in here yesterday.

Why?

Spano: Now, look, she's here,

she's not here--what do you

guys want with me?

We love your company.

Take a look in there.

Yeah, okay.

She didn't sleep here.

No.

What time she check out?

No idea.

Hey!

Come here, take a look at this.

Could be a driver's license.

What do you think?

Hmm. Worth a closer look.

Fish it out.

With my hands?

Or your head. It's your call.

Tee-off for four o'clock?

Not today.

How come?

Maybe I don't feel like it.

Maybe I've got something

else to do.

Pardon me?

What do you think

you're doing?

Good morning.

What do you think

you're doing?!

Sleeping.

Not there!

I got it.

It's because here is where

she slept?

Get up!

I told you you were

a little tight-ass!

Correction: You are

a tight-ass supreme!

I'm sorry.

Cut it! Just cut it!

Now what? Leave it on!

I'm taking it off! This is

your wife's, god forbid!

Don't!

Stop it! Stop it!

Let's see, uh...

Here. Here. This has gotta be

the top right hand corner,

right over here.

If that's the corner,

where's the edge?

It's right here.

And I think this goes

right here.

Hey, I'm not trying to butt

in here, but wait a minute.

This...

Is the right eye, see?

That's the right eye there.

Yeah, yeah.

That goes there.

Top of the head.

Right here. Right here.

That's good. "Safety."

See, "public safety" here.

"Department of public safety."

So we need the left eye.

What made you pick me...

And keep coming back?

I don't know.

Because I wasn't

nothing like your wife?

You want to let me know

when my hour's up?

Mmm.

What I wouldn't give

for a cigarette.

You really want one?

Maybe I'll make an exception.

( Laughs )

Whose side are you on?

Just being friendly.

Oh, really?

No, now that I have a few bucks,

I intend to live forever.

Where?

Haven't decided yet.

Company.

What?

Company.

What are you doing here?

Alma got sick.

Why didn't you ring the bell?

I didn't want to wake you.

Hi. Hi.

My name's Stacy.

My name's Irene.

Alma's parents are

waiting in the car.

Tell them everything's okay.

Okay. Bye.

Bye.

It could be worse.

How?

If I was a guy.

Uh...

Well?

Well, he looks familiar.

That's all?

Well, give me a minute.

How about a name?

We need a name.

No, no bells.

Oh, come on. What's familiar,

the eyes, the nose, what?

I'm not sure.

Ahh.

Some hiding place.

You don't like it, you can

take your share with you.

And not be able to sleep

until Monday?

Now, look, you can't

stay here, you know that.

No explanation necessary.

If she asks, you're just

a friend passing through town.

She won't ask.

How do you know?

Because she's smarter

than you think.

Irene's gonna be leaving.

Why?

I have an appointment.

But I made breakfast.

I'm sorry. That's so nice

of you, but I'm in a hurry.

I made muffins and

everything.

Best muffins I ever had.

Do you want the recipe?

Yeah.

It's my mother's.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

My mother's dead.

I know.

So how was Disneyland?

We were just going in

when Alma got sick.

Most kids would be

moaning and groaning.

You handle it well.

What can I do

to make it up to you?

How about lake mead?

Rent a boat? Yeah.

You're on.

Do you want to come with US?

Oh, thanks, but, uh,

I have plans.

Can't you change them?

Afraid not.

Dad, ask her to change them.

You see that? That's the tallest

tower west of the Mississippi.

It's called the stratosphere.

First it was called Boulder dam,

then hoover dam, after

the president.

Then it was changed back to

"Boulder" in 1933.

Hmm.

You could pave a highway from

New York to San Francisco with

all the concrete they used.

Stacy, give her a break.

Why? I'm interested.

It's next to lake mead.

Want to see it after

we go boating?

( Speaking Portuguese )

English translation?

Ha ha ha!

I want to thank you both

for the beautiful day.

We thank you. Right?

Right.

Dad, tell her.

I did.

Right this way, please.

Here we are.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Johnny, it's good

to see you again.

Same here.

A Shirley temple

with three cherries?

Yeah.

And for you?

What are you gonna have?

The usual.

I'll have the same.

All right. Shirley temple

with three cherries,

and two usuals.

( Laughs )

We used to come here all

the time before my mother died.

Stacy.

What?

Forget it.

Yes.

Yeah, I understand, we did that.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, okay.

They're not happy

with our progress?

Head of the class.

They offer any suggestions?

Break spano's fingers

one by one till he cooperates.

You think I knew something,

I wouldn't tell ya?

No, but I don't

call the shots.

( Muffled screams )

No, no, no, it's all right.

I understand.

Compliments of the house.

Thank you very much.

Okay. All right.

Thank you.

Because you weren't due home

till tomorrow, Mrs. Williams

went to Reno. Now, what was

the name of that woman that

stayed with you last time?

I did not like her.

You said you did.

Why can't Irene stay with me?

Unh-unh. Why not?

I have to be someplace.

Where?

Can't you take no

for an answer?

She didn't say no.

Yeah, but that's

what she means.

I've got some neat games

and stuff.

I'm sorry, excuse me.

Satisfied now?

( Crying loudly )

What do you want from me?

( Crying )

What?

There.

You should have been

asleep hours ago.

We're almost through.

( Horn honks )

I gotta go to work.

"Good night, daddy."

Night, daddy.

Soon as the game's over,

she goes to bed.

I cross my heart.

Good night, daddy!

Some guy had left the sleeper

on the big six, we come out on

a new point, it's six.

He pays it again and stacks it

all up, and then six rolls right

back and frank goes out

and picks up...

Yeah, six straight I win.

Tonight I go against him,

right between the eyes.

Like the man said, you had

a good hole, you should

have stayed there.

What's the matter?

I don't feel good.

Where?

My stomach.

Probably got it

from your kid.

Yeah, probably.

So what do you think

about that?

Well?

I decided to take

the night off.

Why?

I felt like it.

Afraid I wouldn't take

good care of your kid?

No.

Why then?

I told you.

I felt like taking a night off.

That's the best you can do?

Ohh.

So, I mean, what next?

You tell me.

Why don't you take

a couple of girls,

on the house, and relax.

Get US the dame that gave

our friend a heart attack,

we might be interested.

Why do you suppose

he came here?

Word of mouth.

What?

Nobody ever got a dose of

anything since I took over,

because the girls get inspected.

Every joint does that.

No, not like here.

A girl checks in for her shift,

she's not only inspected,

she gets searched to make sure

that no drugs enter

the premises.

And nobody leaves before their

shift is over, and then the girl

gets searched again to make sure

that she's not walking out with

something she light-fingered

from one of the customers.

How about the dame that we're

looking for, was she searched

before she left?

Yeah, sure.

Then no way she could exit

with something that didn't

belong to her.

Like what?

I'm not being nosy here, guys,

but I can't help you if I don't

know what you're looking for.

What's to lose?

We're looking for

a half a million-plus

in century notes.

In a money belt.

No way she could walk out

with anything like that.

Maybe he didn't have it on

him, left it at the hotel.

Can you picture him

doing that?

No. So, where are we?

If...i was able

to help you find the dough,

would there be something

in it for me?

You know, I'm beginning

to like this guy.

Why do you ask?

I, uh, just remembered

something.

You sleepy?

Yes.

Stacy thinks you're great.

Nice kid.

Lousy judge of character.

Do you want to make jokes

or talk?

I want to sleep.

I got something to say.

I don't want to hear it.

I'm gonna say it anyway.

The answer is no.

How do you know

what I'm gonna say?

Because like all tight-asses,

you jump from one extreme

to another!

In one minute you can't stand

to have me here in your house.

The next minute, you want me

to stay here forever.

It's worth a try.

And if it doesn't work,

c'est la vie?

Yeah!

Oh. Nice for you.

I just thought the way

you and Stacy were hitting--

look, what she's gonna think

when she learns the way we met?

We'll move. Start all over.

And live happily ever after?

We beat the odds so far.

And for once, I'm quitting

while I'm ahead.

End of discussion?

Or I'm out of here.

Bull's-eye.

You're sure that's the guy?

Johnny Tobin. Positive.

I knew he looked familiar.

And he was the only one

that she saw that day

after the guy died?

Yes.

It's gotta be him

walked out with the money belt.

Why the cowboy outfit

and that phony license?

Let's ask him.

It's about time.

You got everything? Yeah.

Hi, Irene. Hi.

It was very nice meeting you.

You say that like

you're leaving.

I am.

Are you coming back?

No.

Why not?

Dad, why isn't she coming back?

I hear the bus. Come on.

Victor: That him?

Yeah. You sure?

Hundred percent.

Girl: Stacy, hi!

Say when.

Now.

Pull up like you're

asking directions.

Hold it.

Hey, that's her

in the red car.

What's the rush?

I'll feel better

once the money's in the bank.

The bank doesn't open

for an hour.

I hate goodbye scenes.

That what this is?

Yeah.

You sure this is

what you want?

It's got nothing to do

with "want."

What do we do?

Stay with her. Duck down.

( Starts car )

All of a sudden you're

telling me what to do? Relax!

Calm down, will ya?

Look at this.

Ohh, god damn it.

It ain't our day.

No spare?

No Jack.

( Railroad crossing

warning bells ring )

( Train whistle blowing )

( Train whistle blowing )

It might be our day

after all. Victor, take a look.

What kept you?

You said that like

you were expecting US.

I am, if you are

who I think.

Bring him out.

Come on, chubby,

out of the car.

Hey, hey, come on.

It's hard to believe you

were just holding it for US.

Not when you consider

my choices.

I give the money to that

monster, he rips you off,

and I still get my end.

I take off with it, and I spend

the rest of my life looking

over my shoulder.

Well?

Five hundred and sixty

on the nose.

I'm impressed.

How much is that

in dollars and cents?

Give me your car keys.

What for?

I need your Jack

to change a tire.

I don't think I have one.

Check it out.

Actually, I'm sure

I don't have a Jack.

If you're like most dames,

you don't know a Jack

from a screwdriver.

I'm not like most dames.

Take a look anyway.

For your information,

this is a Jack.

Hey, come on.

Let's go, let's go, come on.

You're on.

I got a broken finger.

You want to go for two?

Hey, we got a plane to make.

I'm almost done.

He must really have

the hots for you, huh?

Who's that?

You know, the guy who

sneaked out with the money.

And all he gets is

love and kisses.

Yeah, why the cowboy suit

and the false I.D.?

I'm finished.

( Groans ) You guys got

a handkerchief or something?

I'm all dirty.

Here you go.

What about the cowboy?

I don't know

what you're talking about.

Hey.

Hey! Hey!

Hold the phone.

Ooh!

You got your dough back.

What more you want?

Interest for using the money,

which means another

five hundred and sixty grand.

I figure this two hundred

and eighty grand I found in your

truck is your share.

Which means the cowboy must

have the other two-eighty.

Right?

Right?

( Telephone rings )

Hello?

Johnny Tobin?

Speaking.

It takes guts to shoot

a half a million,

even when it's not yours.

Congratulations.

Who is this?

That's a cute little

girl you have. It's nice

the way she kissed you before

she got on the school bus.

Who is this?!

I knew you were scum, but

I figured you had some smarts.

What are you talking about?

Once they get the dough back

what do you think is gonna

happen to US, huh?

Just shut up.

Well?

He'll be here.

Ain't love grand?

He's overdue.

He'll be here.

Listen, guys, you don't

have to give me nothin'.

Soon as you get your dough,

it'll be like it never happened.

That's generous,

but you deserve something.

( Car approaches )

At last.

The cowboy.

Two-eighty?

Two-eighty.

You're short, I'll be pissed.

Count it.

What's life without trust?

Okay.

Stand-up broad.

You worked her over.

And not a peep.

I've been singing your praises.

You all right?

Yeah.

That it?

That's it.

Except...

For a small token

of our appreciation.

( Horn honking )

Drop it.

I think you're bluffing.

Call me.

( Gunshots )

No way they can

trace the gun?

Positive.

They'll figure spano

did it, right?

Hopefully. How much?

Well, forget about

early retirement.

How much?

Twenty-four thousand.

Ohh. Hardly worth splitting.

Yeah. You keep it.

I was gonna say

the same to you.

Open a bank account

for Stacy.

You need it more

than she does.

There is no way

I'm gonna touch this money.

That makes two of US.

( Starts car )

So where are we?

Shooter bets

twenty-four thousand, they do.

Eleven. Let it ride.

Shooter bets

forty-eight thousand, they do.

Okay. Let it ride.

Ninety-six thousand goes.

Seven. Winner!

I can't take it anymore.

There's only one way to stop.

It all goes.

Shooter bets one hundred

and ninety-two thousand,

he passes.

( Whispering )

Cash me in.

Man: Please be seated.

I only said yes so

you wouldn't blow the kid's

college tuition.

I'm only doing this

because a wife can't testify

against her husband.

Man: Shall we begin?
