Ayuh, manusia. Ayuh, ayah.

Saya akan membawa anda sekali lagi. Ayuh, manusia.

Datang pada. Salah satu masa yang lebih. Ayuh, manusia.

Baik.

Mari kita lihat anda memotong itu.

Hanya tidak bersedia untuk saya lagi.

Adakah anda tidak tahu.

Sebentar.

Hundred-dan-sembilan puluh empat fisheroos kepada anda, kawan.

Anda akan menerobos semua orang, atau saya?

- Jadi? Apa yang anda nak buat? - Call.

Apa yang kamu maksudkan, hubungi?

Saya rasa anda cuba untuk membelinya. Lapan.

Apa, adakah anda seorang lelaki buta atau sesuatu?

Apa yang kamu maksudkan, buster?

Saya rasa orang sudah daubing kad ini.

Adakah awak gila?

Dia takkan memadamkan 194 dolar pada sepasang buruk.

Awak buat.

Saya katakan anda telah menandakan kad ini.

Saya tidak memerlukan kad ketara untuk mengalahkan anda, kawan.

Tunggu sini. Saya akan menjaga dia.

Bagi saya duit.

Menjatuhkannya.

- Apa namanya? - Tricky Bob.

Di sini anda, Tricky.

Raleigh Hotel, sila.

Terima kasih.

Encik Howard, tuan. Selamat kembali ke New Orleans.

- Dua-dua belas untuk Encik Howard. - Baik tuan.

Encik Howard.

Hey, King Kiddo.

Marilah sayang. Saya akan melihat anda tiga bola.

- Bukankah permainan saya, Eddie. - Hi, Kid.

Ayuh, Kid. Kami telah memegang kerusi untuk anda.

Bagaimana mereka berjalan, Philly?

Mereka telah berjalan betul dengan saya sepanjang hari, Kid.

- Apa pertaruhan? - Anda berhenti pasangan, bukan?

Seventeen kepada anda, Philly.

Baiklah, saya akan memberikan jawapan muktamad saya untuk sebarang pertanyaan sepanjang garis ...

sebaik sahaja saya melihat kad lubang Whitey ini.

Saya memanggil.

Ace up.

Saya tidak percaya yang berdegup tiga merangkak, melakukannya?

Anda tidak akan berlaku untuk memegang ...

- ... mana-mana penanda, akan anda? - Yeah.

lelaki itu memegang penanda pada semua orang di bandar ini.

- Apa yang anda mendapat pada saya, Kid? - Got anda untuk 110, 60 dan 85.

Saya akan mengambil 110, 60. Anda mengambil 85 ...

dan meletakkannya kembali dalam bank anda. Terima kasih, Kid.

- Deal kad. - Hey, Philly.

Hi, Kid.

- Hi. - Watch dia, Kid. Dia seorang min satu.

Anda mendapat burung baru, kan? Gaffer?

Tidak tidak. Dia roundhead a. Sekarang, tidak mendapatkan dia teruja.

Hello, Shooter.

- Di mana kamu pergi? - Di seberang sungai.

- Adakah apa-apa yang baik? - Pasangan ratus dolar.

Hey, anda tahu terdapat seorang lelaki dalam permainan yang menuduh saya jus dek?

Bermain dengan amatur, kan?

Tidak saya memberitahu anda anda akan dapatkan tembikai anda dibuka?

Ia adalah satu-satunya permainan saya dapat mencari di mana saya tidak memegang penanda pada seseorang.

- Saya berfikir tentang pergi ke Miami. - Anda akan pergi untuk bekerja di Miami?

Yeah. Yeah.

- You got a better idea? - I don't know. It may be just a rumor.

You know how these things get started...

but they say that Lancey Howard is in town.

They say Lancey Howard?

The man himself.

The Kid will have to play him.

Am I right, Kid?

You gonna play him?

Lancey Howard.

Lancey Howard take the skin right off the Kid.

I'm giving even money on the Kid.

Fifty cents. Mark it.

Yes, Mr. Slade. Tomorrow's fine. Couldn't be better.

I understand that stud poker is your game.

Well, your stakes are my pleasure, sir.

Well, why don't we make it about...

lunchtime.

That's a fine idea, Mr. Howard.

Around noon, then? I'm right here in the hotel.

My pleasure, sir.

And do remember me kindly to your charming wife.

Yes, I'll do that.

Mr. Howard, one thing more.

Say, I...

May I suggest we secure for ourselves the dealing services...

of the Shooter for this auspicious occasion?

That's excellent.

Excellent.

All right, then.

Bye-bye.

Don't touch me.

Just a wee bit more Tabasco.

Yeah, this game's been coming for a long time, hasn't it, Kid?

Too long.

Think so?

I told you what happened when I played.

Yeah, I know.

He laid me out, strung me up and then...

Kid, I mean, he gutted me.

Yeah, you told me, Shooter.

Just wait till he's looking down your throat, that's all.

You don't think I'm ready, do you?

I don't know. You're one of the greatest stud players I've seen.

But then again, so was Lancey Howard.

It's not gonna be like sitting down with me and Doc Sokal.

You see, I've been where I'm going.

The way I play now?

Just percentages. Don't win much, don't lose much.

You think you were ready when you sat down with him?

I thought I was the best stud-poker player in the world.

I'm telling you, I thought I was the best.

I got something, Shooter.

You know I've got something.

Yeah, you've got something. I know that, Kid.

But you've got to remember that he's the man, see?

He's got an awful lot to protect.

He'll use everything in the book and then some he's made up to kill you.

I don't want any lesson, Shooter.

I want everything he's got.

- Hi. - Hi.

- You cold? - No.

What happened to your coat?

I ripped it.

What'd you do today?

Oh, went to the movies. And it was all in French.

- In French, huh? - Yeah.

Know what they do? They sign the words...

in at the bottom of the picture...

- ...in English, so you can understand it. - Oh, yeah?

- Yeah. - Oh, it wasn't in French?

- What? - What was the movie about?

It was about this town in Europe, and they get this message...

Well, was it in French, Spanish or English?

- What? - The message.

- Do you wanna hear this? - Yeah. Go ahead.

Well, this Spanish general had sent the message that he's coming...

to spend the night with his army.

Now, the men in the town are scared silly...

so the wives and the daughters tell them not to worry...

and go away and hide someplace and let them bargain with them. You see?

Who?

Well, the ladies...

with the Spanish army.

I won't tell it anymore.

- Go ahead. - No, I won't tell it. No.

- Well, just tell me what happened. - No. No.

You won't believe this.

But the women get together and have this big party...

and they all go to bed with the Spanish army.

Oh, yeah?

Anyway, come morning...

the soldiers go off, and everybody's happy.

Yeah, and the husbands are happy.

Yeah, husbands, fathers, everybody.

Seems they...

Seems they cared more about their lives than they did about their honor.

That seem right to you?

Yeah.

Well, how come?

Well, because that makes sense.

- That's why. - It doesn't make sense.

The point is that what good is honor if you're dead?

Hey, what the hell are you going to Frenchy movies for, anyway?

Shooter's wife wanted to go.

- Melba? - Melba.

- Since when are you hanging with Melba? - Since that game in Corpus.

- Melba. - I know.

Wow.

You don't want me to go out with Melba?

Hey...

I don't care what you do.

Well, you should.

I happen to like Melba.

Melba...

why do you do that?

So it will fit, stupid.

No, I'm not talking about that.

What I'm asking is...

Do you have to cheat at everything?

At everything?

Yes, at...

solitaire.

I've yet to see you play solitaire without cheating.

So what?

Look, you're just cheating yourself. Don't you understand?

You'll be the loser, no one else but yourself.

You've ruined the puzzle. Now, that doesn't go in there.

It does now.

Why should I answer?

- Hello. - You only get steamed if it's for me.

Oh, yes. Lancey.

Yes, I heard you were in town.

Hey, what are you up to? A little action, maybe?

But I keep forgetting.

You like to steam, don't you, Shooter?

William Jefferson Slade.

Local celebrity, I understand.

Comes from one of the richest families in the state.

Yeah, that's right, Lancey.

Seems that your reputation is one of the few...

stable things in a world of crumbling values.

I'll be there.

Would you really wear a thing like that?

Why not? I got nothing to hide.

Hey, I bet you'd look good in one too.

Oh, no, I couldn't. I just couldn't wear that.

Come on.

Well, now where are you going?

You ever been to the Turkish bath?

Turkish baths? French movies? I don't know about you, Melba.

Well, then, come on and find out.

The Turkish bath leaves nothing to the imagination.

But I wouldn't know what to do in a Turkish bath.

But that's what's so marvelous.

You don't do anything. They do it to you.

- Come on. - They do it to you?

Well, you and the Shooter are married. Now, that's something.

It's nothing.

Believe you me, honey, it's nothing.

You know you got somebody that wants to spend the rest of his life with you too.

How'd you like to spend the rest of your life with Shooter?

Least you know how much you mean to somebody.

Last card.

Possible flush.

Pair of eights.

Nothing there. Pair of queens.

Possible flush.

Queens check to the possibles.

Two thousand.

Two and up two.

Fold.

Fold.

I fold.

This Cincinnati Kid, he wants a game, huh?

- He does. - Is he any good?

Come on. You know he is.

That's the biggest pot yet.

Call the two thou.

Queen high.

- Jack high. Can you beat that? - He just did.

Hello. Just a moment.

- Charlie, it's your office. - Dallas or Tulsa?

Probably both.

How the hell did you know I didn't have the king or the ace?

I recollect a young man putting the same question to Eddie the Dude.

"Son," Eddie told him, "all you paid was the looking price.

Lessons are extra."

- Here, Lancey. - Thank you.

You gonna play the Kid?

There's always a Kid, isn't there?

Yes, there is. But I think you'll enjoy his game.

I may admire it...

but if what I heard is true, I doubt I'll enjoy it.

Come on, the tougher the competition, the better you used to like it.

Well, what are we waiting for, Shooter? Come on. Let's go. Deal them up.

Well, I do declare, Christian.

It's that three-river gambling man, the Cincinnati Kid...

getting himself all shined up.

How they running, Kid?

Fine. How they running for you?

You'll never guess where we've just been.

Stag movies?

We went to Turkish baths, and we had rubdowns and everything.

- Yeah. You should have been there. - Yeah.

Listen, I heard the big news.

Big news?

Yeah. Everybody says the Kid's gonna sit down with Lancey Howard.

Some say he's gonna be the man.

Or didn't you know, Christian?

See you around.

- Double or nothing. - Call it.

Heads.

You're just not ready for me yet.

Come on. Let's get something to eat.

I didn't know you were thinking about going home.

When are you going?

There's a bus that leaves tonight.

Unless you wanted me to stay.

Until morning, that is.

Well, are you coming back?

Well, you never even asked me why I was going.

Well, why are you going?

You don't want me...

around your neck. Not now, anyways.

Well, I never said that.

You never said anything.

About us.

Listen, Christian...

after the game...

I'll be the man.

I'll be the best there is.

People will sit down at the table with you.

Just so they can say they played with the man.

And that's what I'm gonna be, Christian.

I know.

What is it? Marriage?

I'm all packed.

Six stacks. Is that right, Shooter?

Six.

Well...

we've been playing 30 hours.

That rate, 6000, that makes roughly...

two hundred dollars an hour.

Thanks for the entertainment, gentlemen.

- Thank you. - Good night.

I'm particularly grateful to Lancey here. It's been...

a rewarding experience to watch a great artist at work.

Thank you for the privilege, sir.

Well, you're quite welcome, son.

A pleasure to meet someone who understands that to the true gambler...

money is never an end in itself but simply a tool, as language is to thought.

Good evening...

Mr. Slade.

Good evening, Mr. Howard.

Old Shooter.

I wanna see you tonight, my house. In about 30 minutes.

No, look, Slade...

I can't make it tonight. I promised my wife...

You can make it, boy. I'll see you tonight.

Good evening, gentlemen.

Quincy-6859, please.

- Good night, Lancey. - Night.

- Night, Shooter. - Hi, Kid. Shooter.

Listen, I told Melba I'd take her with us to the fights tonight, but...

Well, something's come up.

How about if she'd go with you and Christian?

Christian isn't here. She's with her folks for a couple of days.

Did Lancey go for it as a game setup?

Yeah. Just about.

Is it okay if Melba goes with you?

- Look, Shooter... - I promised her. You know how it is.

Well, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks, Kid.

I'll meet you at my place after the fight.

Well, Lancey, are we all set for Monday night?

- Mm-hmm. - I can get Lady Fingers to come.

- Lady Fingers? - Mm-hmm.

I haven't seen that old bitch...

Oh, it must be at least 10 years.

Long enough to think of her almost fondly.

- How's she doing? - She's down.

She busted out in a Vegas faro game.

And...

I'd like to use her as a relief dealer, if that's okay with you.

- Oh, sure. Sure. - Well, I guess that's it, then, huh?

Eight o'clock Monday.

Apartment 2A at the old Lafayette.

- Yes. - And may the best man win.

That's how it usually comes out in the long run.

Oh, Shooter...

tell me...

is this young man of yours gonna give me any trouble?

Yeah. He's gonna give you trouble.

Well, I hope it isn't gonna be one of those marathon games.

- Not anymore. - Like the session we had in St. Louis?

- Remember? - Sure, sure.

With those hoods from South Chicago?

The longest game I ever played was on the maiden voyage of the Mauretania.

Bishop's Rock to Ambrose Light without a stop.

Six days.

Lancey...

you have been the man for a long time.

That is undoubtedly true.

But don't let that fool you.

I'm not ready to retire yet.

Thank you.

- Hello, Kid. How are you? - Hey, Al.

- How many you want? - One.

- One. - Hey, Kid.

Hi. How many rounds?

Hey, kids.

Hey, Kid.

Over here!

I got two seats for you...

Do we have to sit with them?

Sit where you want to.

Come on, Jessie, move over.

Come on there, boy. Hey, hey.

- Hello, Hoban. - Where's the Shooter?

Working.

Sokal.

- Hello, Jessie. - Where's Christian, honey?

She went home to mama.

Didn't She, Kid?

Can't live with them and can't live without them, huh?

Yeah, that's right, Pig.

Don't lose no sweat, Kid. Mine left me too.

I wonder why.

Who you trying to kid, sister?

Sonnet Gray and Gaffer's Gray!

Sonnet Gray and Gaffer's Gray!

Sonnet Gray and Gaffer's Gray!

- Twenty-five and 20! - Which one?

- Sonnet Gray. - All right.

All right. Get them up.

Get ready.

Come on!

Let's go out to the car.

Why don't you relax.

- You say 25 and 20? - That's right.

- To lose. - He's got him. He's got him.

Looks like you're gonna owe us some money, fat boy.

Don't spend it, baby. Don't spend it!

Alice Lee, honey, would you like to freshen up Mr. William's drink a little bit?

- A little more bourbon, Mr. William? - Thank you, Mrs. Slade.

Now, you just say when.

When. That's it. Thank you kindly, Mrs. Slade.

Honey, why don't you go out to the kitchen and bring us some of those...

fancy little hors d'oeuvres.

Why, that's exactly what I was about to do, sugar.

I declare, Billy, sometimes I think you got psychic powers.

She's a real lady, Mrs. Slade.

That little gal means more to me than the whole wide world, Shooter.

How's your Melba these days?

Melba? Well, she's fine. Just fine.

Yeah, she's a nice girl, Melba.

Girl of quality and taste.

Expensive tastes, I would imagine.

- Well, I guess you might say that, yes. - Well, that's as it should be.

That's one of the great feminine characteristics.

Taste for fine things.

Of course, we can't always afford to indulge their tastes.

That's the tragedy of it.

That's when they start to drift away.

You know this game that you're dealing for Lancey and the Kid, you know?

There's an awful lot of interest developing in that game.

Betting interest, that is.

What would you figure the odds to be, Shooter?

Well, I'd say the New York money will probably lay about...

oh, 8-5 on Lancey.

Personally, I think the Kid's chances are better.

So do I. So do I. That's why I'm getting me down a bet.

- Big bet. - Well, I don't think I'd wanna bet on it.

The Kid could take him, if he's right, but I'd never bet on it.

Lancey Howard is an old man, Shooter. He's ready for a fall.

Trouble is that the Kid might be nervous, big game like this.

He may be off his form. He may need a little help.

You know?

No, I don't. I don't quite know what you mean.

- You're dealing the game, aren't you? - Yes.

As long as I'm going to the trouble of putting a bet down for myself...

I may as well get one for you too. Say in the neighborhood of $25,000?

I could never do anything like that.

Of course you couldn't. That's why they chose you to give them a fair deal.

It's out of the question, Mr. Slade. You see...

If I...

- I tell you, it's just out of the question. - Merci, Emile.

Well, the Kid's not gonna need much help, Shooter.

Maybe two or three hands at the right time.

Oh, Melba would be mighty proud of you if you won yourself $25,000.

No, I'm sorry, Mr. Slade.

Well, I'm sorry too, Shooter, because you leave me no alternative...

but to remind you of the fact that I'm carrying these markers on you.

- Twelve thousand dollars, to be exact. - Those are legitimate markers.

- You gave me two years to pay them. - Now, wait a minute.

Just because I'm generous or foolish enough to accept your marker one day...

doesn't mean I'm gonna recognize it the next. No, sir, no.

That recognition is null and void if I happen to suddenly realize...

that you are not of sound mind.

You know when I realized that?

When I saw you hesitate about accepting that $25,000.

That's right, boy. You just think that over.

Twenty-five thousand, plus 12,000 here.

- That makes... - Thirty-seven.

Thirty-seven, if memory serves.

Why are you doing this? It can't be for money.

It's for my kind of money. Gut money.

I wanna see that smug old bastard gutted.

- Gutted. - Like he gutted you?

- Yes, that's right. That's right. Hold it. - I'm gonna be...

Lookie here, Cora-Anne and Billy-Bob...

come to say good night to their daddy.

Well, now, my cottontail bunny rabbits. Come here.

- Holler if you need anything, now. - All right.

Do you wanna hear a little bedtime story?

About Shooter's wife, Melba?

- All right, now... - I know all those stories.

Well, are you aware of the circumstances on which she left Shreveport, Louisiana?

Yes, I'm aware.

Well, some people don't know the story. I think they'd enjoy hearing it.

It's a story that deserves to be told.

Now, listen carefully, children.

Once upon a time...

down in Shreveport, Louisiana...

there was this bad little girl named Melba Nyle.

Relax. Shooter will be along.

Why don't you make us a drink. You know where it is.

All that dust at the pit. I always feel so dirty after one of those things.

Brings out the best in you, Melba.

What does that funny little country gal bring out in you?

See anything you like?

About the dance, I mean.

Now, don't tell me Shooter's your oldest and best friend.

- That's right. - He's mine too, honey.

Next you're gonna say he's like a father to you.

You see what that leaves us.

Yeah.

Yeah? Oh, hi, sugar.

Well, then you won't be home for a while.

Yeah?

Shooter. Yeah. Ls the game set?

Eight o'clock Monday, apartment 2A at the old Lafayette.

Old Lafayette.

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah, she seemed to have a pretty good time.

Yeah, she's a fun girl.

Yeah.

You bastard!

I hope you lose.

Thanks, baby.

Day after tomorrow at the old Hotel Lafayette, 8:00.

Yeah, you better let him know. They gonna be full up, from what I hear.

Same to you. You know who that was, Kid? Jollie from Boston...

- You seen Shooter? - No, not today.

Called all the way from Boston. And Lady Fingers. Guess you know she's coming.

And Yeller. There's gonna be a lot of money in town.

Hey, how's it going? Hoban tell you about Yeller?

Yeah, I was just telling him.

I'll see you later.

Hey, Kid.

Hey, what's wrong?

Jack Doyle's laying 12-5 on Lancey.

Jack Doyle. Now, listen, that's old money.

Conservative money. That's always on the man.

- There's plenty of money on you too. - It's the waiting.

I'm ready now, and I gotta wait.

Don't let the odds rattle you. That's the worst that can happen.

- Stay loose. Relax. - It's not the odds. I told you.

- It's the wait. - Listen, just relax.

I'll see you later, Shooter.

Hey, Kid!

Hi, honey.

- Hi, Kid. - Hi.

This is a surprise.

- Did you come on the bus? - Well, yeah.

I just came by to see how you were doing.

Mama, this is Eric.

How do you do, Mrs. Rudd?

Howdy.

Why don't you sit down, and I'll fix you something.

No, I had something to eat in town.

Come on.

There's some hot biscuits in the warmer.

Come on.

I used to come here and play when I was little.

I'd dream, mostly.

Yeah? About what?

Oh, just things that little girls dream about.

There was a story I heard...

about a wishing stone somewhere on the bank of the Mississippi.

And I used to play like this creek was the Mississippi...

and that rock over there was a wishing stone.

And if I kissed it...

and made a wish...

it'd come true.

What was the wish?

Oh, that somebody would come and take me away from here...

to some big city like New Orleans...

or Mobile.

Sure was a good dinner, Mrs. Rudd.

Just our usual.

Christian, help your mother with the dishes.

- Ma, we got any cards? - Cards?

You know, them playing cards. We used to have some.

May still be some in that drawer over there.

I don't know how good they are.

Now you can show Papa some of them tricks.

- Tricks? - Yeah.

Like you done with that little shoeshine boy.

- I best get on with my evening chores. - Oh, please, Papa. You'll like it.

Pick a card, Mr. Rudd.

Any card you want.

Three of hearts.

Damnedest thing I ever did see.

Hey, you gotta come in and see this one. Get in here.

- Come on, Mama. - This is the best yet.

- Come on in here. - You got any idea what time it is?

Come on. Get over here, get over here.

Come on, Mama.

Come on. I want you to see this. Now, you look good.

- Show her, Eric. - All right, Mrs. Rudd.

Now, just take a card. Any card at all.

Don't show it to me.

The three of spades.

Are you playing tonight or just dealing?

- Are you playing tonight? - Yes, I'm playing tonight. I'm playing.

- How much you gonna win? - I'll win something.

Don't you worry about it.

Twenty-five years. I've been building a reputation for 25 years.

- My honesty, integrity... - Remember what you said...

- ...about cheating yourself? - What are you talking about?

You know what I'm talking about.

Well, I'll tell you one thing.

I'm not gonna give him any help unless he needs it.

Good old honest Shooter.

You know, you remind me more and more of my first husband.

- He was a loser too. - Well, I'm no loser.

The Kid could break lucky and stay ahead the whole game, couldn't he?

Well, it could happen, couldn't it?

Sure it could happen.

I mean, be there to see that it does.

Won't you, Shooter?

Take me around the block a couple of times.

You did tell the Kid 8:00, didn't you?

Yes, I did.

Well?

Hello, everybody.

- Lady! - Piggy, Pig, Pig.

Doctor. Oh, how lovely.

- Lady Fingers. - Yeller! Good to see you.

- Hiya. - Hi, Ho.

Lady Fingers. You know the missus.

- Hello there. - Mrs. Hoban. Melba.

- Sorry I'm late, Shooter. - Lady!

What do you say, sweetheart?

Lancey Howard. The man himself.

My pleasure, Lady Fingers.

You don't get around these parts much anymore.

That's true. I suppose it's more a matter of climate than anything else.

No other reason?

- What other reason could there be? - The Cincinnati Kid.

That's what they're saying, Lancey. You've been scared of the Kid.

Should I be?

Hey, Kid. He's here.

Damn right.

- Steve. - Go.

Oh, that sounds wonderful.

Hey, you come up slashing, you hear?

Hello, Yeller.

Kill that cat, Kid.

Hello, Kid. How are you feeling?

Well, I'm feeling great.

- And it's good to see you again. - Play him close.

Well...

- ...let's get started. - Yeah. Absolutely.

Lancey...

this is Eric Stoner, the Cincinnati Kid.

Lancey Howard.

I'm glad to know you, Lancey.

My pleasure.

How the town treating you?

New Orleans always been good to me.

Well, that's fine. Of course, towns do change, though, don't they?

They tell me you're quite a stud player, young man.

- Do they? - That's right.

New York, Chicago, Miami.

Oh, I've been hearing about you for a couple of years now.

Yeller there tells me how you gutted him once with a pair of fours.

That's right. Remember, Kid?

The night you cut me up with the two red fours?

Must have overplayed my hand.

Well, that's a dangerous thing to do.

Well, it depends who you're sitting with, Lancey.

- Well, let's play some cards. - Hoban?

- Yeah. - I've already looked around...

- ...so if you wanna have a look... - Thanks, Lancey, I think I will.

They come from the New Orleans Bridge Club...

and they've been bonded by the steward.

I seen him take them right out of the safe himself.

And Shooter, Lady Fingers and me just carried them right here.

Hoban's selling them to us at $5 a pack with the usual guarantee.

If it's proved a deck's been juiced, he pays off the losers.

- Who's sitting with us? - The four of us.

Me, Pig, Yeller and Doc Sokal.

- If that's all right with the both of you? - Fine.

Sure, sure.
