Where are you going?

I don't know, as far away as possible.

Will you be back?

I hope not.

THE EXTRAVAGANT M. CORY

What's this lake?

Manitoca. Summer resort. Don't you know Wisconsin?

Never left Chicago, except for the army.

A club, with everything you need.

Very private.

Very closed.

Stop right there.

I'll be right down.

Thank you.

This boy's looking for a job, Mr. Earnshaw.

Thank you, Miss, I'll take care of it.

- What's your name? - Cory.

Mr.

I beg your pardon?

"Sir!"

Your manners leave much to be desired.

Yes, sir!

Is that so funny?

No, sir!

This place was recommended to me. They told me about you.

I should have thought of the "gentleman"...

Hall boy. 27 dollars a week.

- With tip? - Service included.

I accept... sir.

You sleep there.

You'll have to get used to the house rules.

Watch me do it.

Closet

The shower.

- Lots of customers? - We're fully booked.

That's my drawer, take the bottom one.

- Do you play cards? - Sometimes.

Great! We play every night. Keep this to yourself.

Earnshaw does not tolerate dirt and gambling.

We'd all be fired!

- Do you play golf? - Not very well.

Golf and beach activities are permitted on Mondays.

- Really? - Private beach.

Wonderful.

- 5pm. - Where are you going?

Take my shift, see you later.

How do we eat here?

Gentlemen, we have a new among us... Mr. Cory

Change your jacket. Shine your shoes.

Is he kidding?

And if your hands are dirty? Do we hang?

- Shot. - It's crazy!

Excuse me.

- You're crazy! - Sorry about that.

Does it make you laugh? Watch out!

Don't get angry! I didn't see you...

Clean this up.

You'll pay out of your own pocket. Mr. Cory.

- What! He's the one who... - Me?

Enough of this! Change your clothes.

You have a lot to learn.

Go for it! In future, be careful.

- Put it there. - Too kind.

Mr. Cory.

If I catch you pilfering again, that's the door.

I'm hungry.

I stole a piece of turkey of turkey while I waited.

A gentleman doesn't prick

After closing, you can help yourself,

and don't talk with your mouth full. It's vulgar.

Yes, sir.

Good manners, Mr. Cory, are required in all circumstances

Your turn.

Twenty-five,

fifty,

and fifty more.

I'll pass.

Your 50, and 50 more.

I could go further,

but I like you.

I see.

I have a straight.

A gentleman doesn't prick!

Flush.

Good manners. Whatever the occasion!

- What elegance - Thank you.

What's your thing?

My thing?

It's been two weeks. You play golf every day.

No,

golf is very difficult.

I know.

Putting, is right up my alley

So, what's your thing?

Games of skill.

I love it.

Come, here are some customers.

No problem at all.

You shouldn't...

I know, hi.

Why don't you come for a swim?

Just now.

You want revenge?

And how!

Double the 1st shot.

Ah, you bet!

Interested?

Thank you for your time. How much is the hole

5 dollars.

Double if on the 1st try.

Perfect.

After you.

I can do better.

Who's it for?

Vollard, first name Abigail.

Abigail?

A big, rich family!

Well done!

Congratulations, Mlle Vollard.

Clear the 5. Don't break anything.

Whose idea was this?

Not me.

- Then it's Jen. - Dad made everything.

Even the cake.

What a wonderful evening.

We were going to play a game

Not tonight.

What do you mean?

Not tonight.

I don't feel like it.

It's very important to us.

We'll see tomorrow night.

Do you mind, cook?

What nerve!

I don't like it!

Look at that!

He bought it here.

40 dollars!

Our money!

You amaze me.

Be careful.

Why come all this way?

Are you mad at me?

I wanted to see you privately.

What a pleasant night.

I'll be leaving again in a few days.

You didn't have much fun, did you?

I've been happy to be with you.

Why so serious?

I don't want to leave you.

- It's ridiculous. - Is it?

I won't be here for long.

Watch out for lipstick.

Abby...

marry me.

- Immediately

- Don't joke.

Alex!

Don't be condescending.

Am I?

Sorry.

I've made up my mind. I demand an answer.

Will you marry me?

Yes...

or not?

No, it's not.

You refuse to listen to me, so the answer's no.

Is it Stroughton?

You wanted a straight answer. You got it.

No need to talk about Larry or anything else, let's go home.

Is this him?

Don't be childish.

Are you coming?

I'd rather stay here for a while.

I'm not ready for marriage.

If I were,

I'd marry you.

Lipstick, darling.

Go tell them I have a migraine,

and take me home.

They'll want to go home.

Be convincing, Mr. Wyncott

Go and warn them

and come back soon.

We'll take a walk on the lake.

See you soon.

Were you scared?

That's right.

I'm not used to it...

listen in on conversations.

You almost pushed him over the edge.

A little more and I'd fish you out of the lake

But you know him better than I do.

Good evening.

A problem?

Unable to start, I don't know why.

Really? I'll take a look.

My name is Jen Vollard.

And me, Cory.

Try starting.

- Nothing. - Don't touch it again.

Do you have a pair of pliers?

No tools on board.

That's it! Give it a try.

Wonderful! Thank you.

You're welcome.

The fuel wasn't getting through. That should do it.

- You're welcome. - I'll take you back!

I prefer swimming.

I owe you!

It's nothing.

Come and dine!

With pleasure.

Tonight.

At what time?

We dine early, at 7pm.

I can't do it.

I'm booked until 8:30 pm.

Stop by anyway, I'll buy you a drink

It works.

See you on the quay.

- See you tonight, Jen! - All right!

Goodbye.

Enjoy your walk.

Mr. Caldwell?

You can clear away.

Word to the valet.

10 dollars.

I see.

Pass.

Your 10, and 50 more.

Too much for me.

I see.

I see.

The pair of 10 speaks.

100 dollars.

100 more.

Pass.

Thank you, sir.

Your 100, and I raise 100.

Your 100, Mr. Caldwell,

and 100 more.

Close the door.

Moor!

Don't lose the boat.

What class!

- Is this yours? - Yes, they are.

- Are we getting married? - Yes, we are.

Liar!

I bet they're playing chess.

Bull's-eye.

Dad, this is Mr. Cory. My father, M. Vollard.

- Pleased to meet you. - Thank you for joining us.

My mother, Madame Vollard.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

Our guest, Mr. Wyncott. Uh, Alex... Mr. Cory.

- Would you like a drink? - Yes, please.

It's my treat That was the plan. What are you having?

Cognac?

It works.

- Where is Abby

- Up there.

She's going to be crazy about Cory.

- You offend me. - You surprise me.

He's so jealous!

I'll end up gutting you.

You bet!

Is this your first visit to the lake?

Yes, nice place.

The most magnificent on earth.

We've been coming here for thirty years.

Really?

This is what awaits you.

Hello, darling.

Abby...

this is Mr. Cory.

Nice to meet you.

Good evening.

My pretty sister Abigail.

You will no longer speak to me again.

You deserve a spanking.

Wait your turn.

Alex first,

he intends to gut me.

You're going to have to deal with me, young lady.

I made a bad deal.

I wanted a convertible, at all costs.

I had to promise a lot of things.

Three years from now,

I'll be bitter and reduced to smoking cigarette butts.

Don't believe it.

In three years, she'll make Scarlett O'Hara look like an old maid.

I'd say that's to his credit.

Abigail, how about this?

Nothing but good luck.

Good luck?

What for? I owe him my life.

According to the Chinese, I belong to him.

Jen!

You're preventing me from smoking.

Shall we play a little pool?

It's either that or chess!

- If Mr. Cory prefers to stay... - No!

I don't want it at all.

He's my guest,

and then I'm too young to stay with adults

Billiards!

I'll let you win, then I'll drop the cleaver.

What if I forfeit?

We'll snog!

I'll always have the advantage!

See you later.

Poor guy!

She's her father's daughter.

I like it.

No matter what she does.

What do you know about him

Cory?

Not much.

Down at the Club.

Charming young man.

Not that young.

Honey, being under 40 is to be young.

What does he do for a living?

He must have succeeded. He's at Green Pines

You had to let me win.

Cory, I think you're better at at repairing boats

I've never been much of a pool halls.

I set you free.

No, I like it here.

I found you very discreet.

About what?

Abby.

What are you talking about?

All the men run after her without getting a glance.

Who says I'm trying to catch his eye?

Of course you don't, you want to seduce her.

Come on, don't pretend with me.

Last night, you were devouring her with your eyes.

Last night?

At his birthday party.

Your eyes were on her, mine on you.

I'm sure you know,

that women like you.

Over to you.

Rest assured, I won't say a word.

There's no shame in working.

As a waiter?

Not for long.

Thank you.

Did you tamper with the boat?

You made a face, when you saw me.

You're amazing.

I'm far from stupid.

- You can't fool me. - I believe you.

6 in the corner, 12 in the middle, 7 here.

That's all there is to it!

A crack billiard player once said:

"You can expect anything."

There you go!

I enjoyed our evening.

Me too.

You intrigue my sister.

You think so?

I know her well.

And Alex?

It's up to you.

What do you intend to do?

Let's see...

Tell Miss America that I bet

that she'll marry me instead of Alex.

Can I really?

Tell him word for word.

We promise! I promise!

Good evening.

Good evening and good luck!

Be careful.

Hello.

Hello. Salt and pepper

Yes, sir.

You're an early riser.

You didn't play for long.

Long enough.

Who won the last hand?

Which one?

You had a pair of 10, and you bid higher...

I'm the winner.

For us, peak season is not necessarily...

excuse me.

Excuse me, Mr. Earnshaw,

I don't feel very well.

What's up?

My stomach hurts.

See a doctor.

No, I'll be fine,

but can I take the morning off?

Yes, go and lie down.

Thank you, sir.

Waiter!

Where can I find Mr. Cory?

- Cory - He's a customer.

A customer?

Hello.

Thank you, this is Mr. Cory.

How are the Vollards doing?

I'd like a word with you, Mr. Cory.

Well, shall we take a walk?

That's not why I'm here.

No doubt, but we'll be better off better by the lake.

If you must reproach me, I don't want any witnesses.

Did Jen tell you everything?

Yes, indeed.

I thought she was joking.

It was serious.

- You're being ridiculous. - No, I'm not.

Yes, you can!

Well, in that case, why did you come?

It seems to me that it's you who's being ridiculous.

There's something about you I don't like.

You've won Jen over.

- A wonderful girl. - Exactly.

She believed your joke.

I wasn't joking.

Then you're crazy.

Absolutely not.

I'm an opportunist who fights for what he wants.

That's what I love about this country: anything is possible.

Including becoming president.

Really?

Or marry a beauty.

Leave Jen alone.

There's a cove behind the hotel.

I'll be there this afternoon.

I'll be expecting you. About 3 o'clock?

You're crazy!

Mr. Earnshaw.

Feeling better?

Some fresh air seemed in order.

With Mlle Vollard.

Yes.

What's the harm?

You're forgetting the rules.

Employees forbidden from socializing with customers.

I didn't know that.

Let's face it.

Consider on the merits of this regulation.

Between the kitchen and the restaurant, there's a gap...

impassable.

Take it from me,

these things go wrong.

Will I be fired?

For the time being, I'm punishing you for lying to me.

From now on, you'll stay in the kitchen

and do the dishes.

And if I refuse?

The choice is yours.

If you're staying, be in the kitchen before lunch.

Oh, Mr. Cory...

good advice.

If you stay...

make friends.

You're not very popular.

Who warned you?

No matter.

It would have been simpler to ask for time off

than pretending to be unwell.

- Would you have accepted? - Certainly not!

Hold on, I'm coming.

You're late.

I did the dishes.

Abby couldn't make it.

Apparently!

You impressed her this morning.

Did she tell you?

Of course you can.

She went to Chicago with Alex.

I must have really impressed him.

Or maybe Alex disappointed her.

She called, she's coming home on the 10 p.m. train.

Are you madly in love?

If I admitted it, what would you say?

I don't know.

I love my sister very much...

but...

What?

I can't see you two together.

You're sweet. She'll break your heart.

You think so?

Any tips?

Yes !

Let her stay in Chicago, don't try to see her again.

But you won't listen to me, so why don't you go ahead?

Take the car,

and pick it up at the station.

That's going to get you into trouble.

I'm used to it!

1st to the boat!

Jen's not well. How was Chicago?

Take it easy!

If you want to kill yourself, do it without me.

Then get off

What are you playing at?

Unlike you, Mr. Cory, I don't gamble.

I'm furious, like I've never been before.

I didn't do anything.

My keys!

You're back!

That's my business.

So do I.

- My keys. - No!

- Nonsense! - Don't take me for Alex!

You and I are here for the same reason!

I don't have time for social events.

Why did you come home?

We can't stay here.

Let's go see my parents,

followed by a boat trip.

Is it late?

See you tomorrow?

All we have left is tomorrow.

The Wyncotts arrive for 15 days.

- Alex? - And his family.

The house will be full.

We won't have much time to ourselves.

Unless we escape.

Where?

In New York.

I'm a bridesmaid at a friend's wedding.

We'd have two weeks to ourselves, darling.

All right.

There's a train tomorrow at noon.

I'll be there.

Jen will drop me off.

I'll be discreet.

- Good evening, Mr. Caldwell. - Good evening, Mr. Caldwell.

What can I do for you?

I want to play poker.

I usually I win a little and lose a little.

I'd like to join you and play bigger.

There are already 5 of us.

I was hoping to be the 6th.

I know it's a bit unusual,

but I'm feeling lucky.

I agree, don't you?

Are you sure?

Certain.

If you all agree, he can take my place for a while.

- No limits. - That's why I came.

Mr Davis, Mr Williams, Mr. Wallace, Mr. Sutliff.

My name is Cory.

Stud poker. The white chip is worth $10.

I start with $400.

I raise $200.

I see.

A pair of aces.

- Lucky you! - I can't believe it!

Not bad!

I'm going to play a little, if you don't mind.

Wait, we want to remake ourselves.

Sit down, let's play for six.

- Really? - Of course.

Come along, Caldwell.

- Getting up early? - Not tomorrow.

A 6, and a pair of kings. A pair of jacks.

I don't want to go further.

Get going! I've still got...

50... 90 dollars.

Two pairs. Jacks and 10s.

Three kings.

I'm off, thank you, gentlemen.

It's been a pleasure.

Bad luck.

You're welcome.

See you soon.

He should have thought about it.

Believe me, he'll do it again.

I was brushing my teeth.

Abby is still asleep.

This is for you.

Hello, darling.

I can't leave today.

I have to stay here for a day or two.

Sounds serious.

It's unfinished business. I'll explain later.

All right, darling.

Goodbye.

So they washed you down

News travels fast.

We're not up to it.

What are you going to do?

You'll soon find out.

You were wrong about us

Oh, yeah?

Yes.

You won't last long.

Go back to your pots.

Yes, sir, I did, last night I played poker.

Am I fired? You're fired!

I am informed that Mlle Vollard is looking for you.

Which one?

The only Mr. Cory we have.

Please explain.

She was looking for a customer named Cory.

I only know the one in the kitchen.

That's funny,

she doesn't seem like divers.

Hi, Biloxi.

Are you all right, Ned?

For your ulcers

My ulcer.

One is enough.

How did you get it

I won it with two 3s on the dice.

Playing for big money?

Not tonight.

See you later, Ned.

The pair of 6 says $5.

I see.

Your 5, and 5 more.

Your 5, and 5 more.

Your 5, and I raise 5.

Too much for me.

You only have a pair of 6s.

Your 5...

and raise 10.

I see.

All 8s.

Pick up.

Good morning, Mr. Caldwell.

Can you go somewhere else?

Of course you are. I'm embarrassing you.

No, but don't just stand there, or play a game.

No, thank you.

The king says $5.

You played well.

Not too bad.

I never thought I'd see you again.

I'm a little upset for that famous evening, monsieur...

Cory.

Mr. Cory, I'd like to make it up to you.

Sit down and let's talk.

Let me buy you a drink.

Eddie!

- It's been almost a year. - Give or take.

- The very same. - Good, Mr Biloxi.

One beer.

What have you done since?

I've moved around a lot in a year.

Oklahoma, Texas, San Francisco, then here.

I myself have just returned from Dallas.

It's a gold mine out there.

I played small towns.

I hear we're playing for big money too.

Isn't your name Caldwell?

Yes.

Here, they call me Biloxi.

At Green Pines, I'm Jeremiah DePlains Caldwell.

Is your real name Biloxi?

Jeremiah DePlains Caldwell.

It's a Southern name.

Biloxi is a nickname, it stuck.

It's easy to remember.

You are...

professional player?

Do you think our party was dishonest?

It's a possibility.

Honesty is our greatest asset, Mr. Cory.

I could have plucked you while courting a woman.

You had a great game, but not the means.

It was a lesson for me.

You have to know how to wait.

Well thought out.

Watching you, an idea came to me.

For the past year, I've had a tic.

- A what? - A tic.

An involuntary gesture,

which for a player is fatal.

I have a recurring ulcer

every time I play.

You stroke your nose when the cards are right.

Who says I don't do it on purpose

A pro would pay to find out for sure,

like me at Green Pines.

Your tic can be corrected.

As for me, I'll be on milk and porridge for a while.

The slightest cold prevents me from playing.

The more you worry, the better you play.

We could come to an agreement, if you don't mind.

Why not?

I bring you my experience,

my contacts...

and my money.

If it works, we split 50-50.

I'll think about it.

Take your time.

I'm at Tyler's.

If you're interested, give me a call.

Before tomorrow night. I'm off to Las Vegas.

Thanks for the beer.

See you soon, Mr. Cory.

An orchid for Chicago.

What's the address?

For Mlle Abigail Vollard.

Lake Shore Drive.

Send it from here.

We'll send it from Chicago.

I prefer to send it from Las Vegas.

Do you have a map?

Hello.

Have you had breakfast?

Do you read the Chicago paper?

I grew up on Sangamon Street. You don't forget that.

How much did we make?

Approx. $1,600.

We'll do better tonight.

Then off to L.A.

- Why Los Angeles? - Bigger stakes.

MLLE VOLLARD CELEBRATES HER BIRTHDAY

Hello, Holbrook.

How are you?

This is Mr. Cory.

How are you?

- Poker tonight? - I'd love to.

See you tonight.

300 dollars.

50 dollars.

50 and...

700 more.

Wake up.

I raise 1,000.

I see.

Come on, get up.

What are you talking about?

- What time is it? - Tuesday.

You slept 20 hours.

I played for 36 hours.

Where's the fire?

Have you heard Ruby Matrobe?

Never.

Take a shower and I'll tell you everything.

Did we win or lose?

Winner.

So do I.

Who is this guy?

Matrobe.

Ruby Matrobe.

Influential, in certain circles.

He wants to talk business.

What kind?

He manages certain...

more or less legal affairs in Detroit, Cleveland...

Where?

Detroit, Cleveland, Chicago.

Chicago?

Yes, he lives there.

He's going to open a club.

An ambitious project, it seems.

He needs a straw man. You.

Tell me, Jeremiah...

how much do we have ahead of us?

18,000 net each.

Then we can take the time to listen to Matrobe's proposal.

I told you about it,

but in my opinion, you should avoid Matrobe.

Why?

He's a crook.

Do you mind going?

No.

A chance to revisit Chicago.

How long has it been?

Too long.

- Biloxi! - Yeah!

- You're keeping the robe? - Isn't it obvious?

Strange place!

- You'll suffocate. - Never mind!

I'm not in Chicago for the sauna.

It feels good.

Speak for yourself!

I hate it. Mr Cory... Mr Matrobe.

Come on, you'll feel like new.

You bet!

I need to come here.

I only sleep 4 hours.

It gets me back into shape.

It invigorates me.

You'll die of heat.

So speak up and let's get out of here.

I heard about you, Cory.

How does he look dressed?

A gentleman.

- Do you have any money? - A little.

As you know, you have to have for this town.

The means to wait for the big one to come along.

Take a heavyweight boxer and a welterweight.

Two champions,

but the heavyweight is the winner.

You need money.

I do.

I need your talent.

I'm warning you, Ruby,

I'm not thrilled.

Cory knows...

but he has to decide for himself.

Are you against it?

You haven't said anything yet.

Insolent!

It gives it charm.

The city is full of players,

very rich people.

I supply the pros,

and my boys play fair.

They win.

Who's losing?

Some customers lose,

but it's still reasonable.

No one complained.

And those who lose everything?

My customers have the means.

I'm opening a club.

The best there is in this city.

On Lake Shore Drive, in the heart of the Gold Coast.

I need someone.

A front man, a manager.

We split 80 -20.

Who gets the 80?

He knows how to talk money.

It knows him.

Don't you want to touch something big?

Better than 20%!

Without me, you're nothing here

This club...

it will attract people such as the Vollards, the Wyncotts

Do you know them?

A dream.

30% if you like the decor.

Too kind

We do what we can

Do you know where it is?

Yes.

318 Lake Shore Drive, tomorrow at 2 p.m.

Hi, Ruby.

You're crazy!

Do you want to get fancy?

Always! Besides, we're not looking to revive the old South.

You want it to work, don't you?

Of course!

Leave this house as it is.

It's just a house.

- Ideal for your activities. - It's like a museum!

We'll appreciate it. Customers will be delighted.

Blackjack in the music room, roulette in the lounge, poker upstairs,

two bars downstairs,

a dining room, and dancing on the terrace.

Dancing!

Yes...

for those who won't be playing.

We don't care about those

If they can dine and dance,

sooner or later they'll go out and play.

If the place is classy,

they'll come and play

What nonsense!

What do you think?

I agree it's a good idea.

So do I.

I'll live there. I'll have my eye on everything.

Yeah...

for 30%!

I have a feeling I'm going to regret this.

On the contrary!

- Let's get out of here. - We'll stay a little longer.

Okay, see you tomorrow at the office.

As a kid, I "visited" one of these houses.

We didn't steal anything but the cops arrested us.

They chased us all over the house.

I'll never forget it.

You've got family here

No.

We're finishing up here and we're going to celebrate.

in a top restaurant.

Spend money.

Okay, but the flowers,

Chicago newspapers...

You have no one to go to

Not yet,

shall we inspect the cellar?

Thank you, William.

Hi, Daddy.

- You're up early. - I have a tennis game.

I'm up. Juice and coffee.

You have to eat if you play tennis.

I want to keep my figure.

This is ridiculous.

- Just leave it. - Just the sports section.

For example!

Mr. Cory invites you to the inauguration...

Be careful!

Mr. Cory!

Here we are!

Here's one for you.

What's the Dolphin Club?

The Locroft estate.

Bought out by a company called...

Glenwood Associates.

They open a private club.

"Mr. Cory would be honored by your presence."

Your Mr. Cory from Green Pines

Who else?

- Does Abigail have one? - I think she does.

One invitation each.

Mr. Earnshaw.

- Welcome back. - What a pleasure.

I thought it was another Mr. Caldwell. another Mr. Caldwell.

We've been thinking about you this new facility.

I'm flattered.

My associate would like to see you, on the 1st floor, at the end of the corridor.

See if Mr. Caldwell needs anything else, okay?

- Thank you. - Thank you for your time.

I beg your pardon.

What's up?

I'm Mr. Earnshaw.

Sir!

What's in it for me?

My employees are accustomed to call me "sir".

We must both be wrong.

I'm not your employee yet.

You will be.

I need your expertise,

your distinguished air and above all,

of your morgue.

There will be 100 covers each evening.

I want an outstanding chef, a cellar full of grands crus...

You feel fine You've paled.

I'll double your salary of Green Pines.

It's a pleasure to see you again.

Thank you, sir.

I hope that...

You have a visitor.

Mlle Vollard.

He'll be right down.

Thank you. I couldn't resist. I couldn't resist.

You're welcome.

Check out our blackjack tables.

I'll leave you to it.

Looking for someone?

Cory!

What an incorrigible hider!

How long have you been in Chicago?

- Three weeks. - No phone calls!

I've had two telegrams in two years, and Abby, orchids.

Have you no shame?

- You've changed - Answer me!

Really?

I'd say you're six lengths ahead of Scarlett.

You look lovely.

Your aim is off.

Next time, remember that I'm a woman

and that my nose is reserved for family.

I won't miss again.

I hope so!

Abby is in great shape.

Really?

It's not your fault, your orchids have disturbed it.

When I showed him the invitation...

she called Alex to tell him she was marrying him.

Not bad!

If this continues, they'll ask you to be a sponsor.

Let's talk about you.

My favorite subject.

Engaged?

No.

A serious friend?

No.

Not married, are you?

Six times last year.

All dead of grief!

I had to keep myself busy while waiting for you.

Impudent!

I never the contrary.

Let's talk about you.

What's new?

The Dolphin Club.

Very closed and very expensive.

- Is this yours? - I have 30%.

Congratulations, How did you do it?

- Washing plates. - Idiot!

Sorry, just kidding.

Madam, I'm a gambler.

I suspected as much.

I took a peek.

I was caught in the act. I felt stupid.

When I saw the invitation, I couldn't believe it.

I canceled an appointment with a beautiful party,

and I rushed over here.

I am indeed impudent.

I'm delighted.

And Abby?

You still love him

Let's talk about you.

It's me we're talking about.

Your feelings for Abby concern me.

Sorry, we have to go into town.

- I've kept you. - Not at all, will you be back?

You can count on me.

If possible, prevent him from meeting other women.

Her friends have priority

I like this one.

What a surprise, nice to see you again.

Thank you, Mlle Vollard.

Classy!

Good evening, Mr. Cory, this is Mr. Chambers.

- How do you do? - I heard about you.

Badly?

I've been betrayed! He thinks I'm the woman of your life.

Are you going to have dinner?

Dinner! I'm breaking the bank and become your boss.

She's not kidding.

What do you choose? Blackjack, roulette...

Blackjack tempts me.

Abby celebrates her engagement.

I know all about it.

We slipped away. Alex wanted to come here to come here with his guests.

Mr. Cory!

Excuse me.

Please excuse me,

I have to do, Mr. Caldwell will take care of you.

Mr. Chambers, Mr. Caldwell.

- See you later. - Interesting!

Come and lose some money.

I'm 16.

A map?

All right.

Bad luck.

How far have you got?

That's it for me.

How much do I have to earn to sink you?

Half a million.

This is Abby.

Excuse me.

Thank you for coming.

- How are you, Miss Vollard? - I am well.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

It was hard to get away, but I didn't want to miss it.

You've done well.

That's right.

Your sister plays blackjack.

Let's contribute to Mr. Cory's of Mr. Cory.

Mr. Caldwell will be at your disposal.

Enjoy yourselves.

- Thank you for your time. - See you soon.

Charley...

take care of table 3.

I'm done for the day.

See this guy?

With the blonde?

It's Mr. Wyncott, make him win.

Winning, you're really going for it!

Treat him like a brother.

I wouldn't do that for my own father.

Give as if it were for you.

Now I understand.

Place your bets.

How are you?

It's okay, Alex wins.

A fortune

We're heading home, we have an early game tomorrow.

I don't want to ask Alex to come home.

I understand, see you tomorrow.

Good evening, Ronnie.

6, Black and Even.

Good evening Jen, Best wishes to your parents.

I promise. Good evening. Good evening.

Good evening, Mr. Chambers. Bad luck.

Do you win?

No, but I didn't lose anything.

I can't force Alex to leave the game.

Snap your fingers.

Welcome back.

Really?

I hated you, you and your flowers.

I hate orchids.

I hated you a little too.

You've come a long way.

That's what they say,

but I don't come from very far away.

Across town, Sangamon Street.

Doesn't ring a bell.

No wonder.

I grew up there.

On the 41st and Sangamon.

Around two o'clock, I'll take a last look a last look.

There you are.

Congratulations.

I tried my luck at roulette.

I might come back every night.

You'll bankrupt me.

Please excuse me, I have an appointment in town.

He did well, the diver

It's getting late.

Let's go home.

The donor who brought me luck has disappeared.

Hey, Cory!

Where have you been?

- 25 cents a game of billiards

No, 10 cents!

It works, 10 cents

A crack billiard player once said: "You can expect anything."

I never came.

It's hard to find the street.

Not during the day, you can feel it.

In six hours, the merchants set up shop on the sidewalk.

They'll be clogging the streets with their carts.

I was born up there.

My mother died there.

My father died in an alley.

Run over by a truck.

Your diver came from Sangamon Street.

Did you know I was coming tonight?

You had to see it, where I came from.

I don't wash dishes anymore.

I'm still from the neighborhood.

Are you on foot?

It works pretty well.

Almost 600,000 in three months.

I should be jumping for joy. But we have to cut costs.

I don't think so.

Starting with the restaurant.

Cutting back on service is out of the question,

that's what makes the gaming tables.

This club brings in less than the others.

Of course, everything's legit.

This is just the beginning.

The figures are excellent.

Service quality must be maintained.

All right,

we continue like this and see if it works.

Perfect.

One more thing.

Alex Wyncott.

Yes ?

He flames, he writes too many checks.

They're covered.

What do you know about his father?

Not much, he's rich.

And influential?

He's discreet but he has a long arm.

He's already made a fuss over me.

Nothing mean, he's too careful for that.

He knows that his friends are in favor of gambling circles.

You don't want to alienate him.

Leave the kid alone

I slam the door in his face

Figure it out, so he'll stop losing.

He blows 10,000 every night and it's not going to end well.

He'll break everything if he finds out about you and the girl.

What do you mean?

Take it easy.

That's your business.

Don't forget Ruby.

As long as it doesn't interfere with my business

Take good care of your 30%.

Is that all, Ruby?

Hi, there.

What a great idea!

I don't remember being so happy.

I'm happy too.

Duty calls.

I'll be right down.

Alex just arrived, I'll be right back.

Lipstick, darling.

What is it, Alex?

I hear I'm not allowed to gamble in this establishment.

There must be some mistake, Jeremiah.

I regret this inconvenience, Biloxi meant well.

It's rather embarrassing.

It won't happen again.

Thank you.

You don't mind if I lose?

Who told you to do that?

Matrobe, you heard him.

I run this club

Cory, I rarely agree agree with Matrobe,

but he's right.

I don't think so.

If Wyncott keeps losing, we're in trouble.

Should we let him win?

You've already done that.

Are you watching me?

Don't be silly.

So leave me alone, Biloxi.

I know I'm bothering you but I feel responsible.

Don't destroy Wyncott because you hate everything he stands for.

Leave him alone and tell him about the girl.

It'll be better for everyone.

Aren't you watching me that closely?

It makes me nervous.

It's new!

And your ulcer?

He has his milk, and I have my whisky.

You got here fast.

It was quiet.

What's wrong?

When are you going to talk to Alex?

Do you intend to?

You don't know him very well.

Better than you think!

He's been crazy about me since I was ten years old.

He's grown up, if you love me, give him back his freedom.

Do I love you?

Then tell him.

"I love Cory, Alex, find yourself another fiancée!"

It's late, I'm going home.

Through the service door?

That's better, Alex is downstairs.

And I don't want any trouble.

So stay until he leaves.

What are you doing here?

I feel sorry for myself.

- Do you know what time it is? - Yes, I have.

That's what makes me sick.

You know...

It's not much fun to see your fiancée

stay with another until four in the morning.

You've been drinking.

You won't get away by changing the subject.

You've done it too many times.

You'll wake them up!

Let's get one thing straight

- I don't want to. - Tell me about Cory.

How long has this been going on?

I followed you.

I had my doubts. I know you.

Let go of my arm.

No !

And keep it down!

I'm no longer a child.

Stop acting like one.

I couldn't sleep.

I took a walk.

I dropped by to the club to see if you were there.

I don't believe you.

I don't mind, now good night.

Abby, please.

If it's Cory, admit it.

Be honest for once.

Go to bed.

It'll be better tomorrow.

I love you more than anything in the world.

Call me tomorrow.

We'll have lunch together.

- Mr. Wyncott - Where's Cory?

Up there, I think.

I'll take care of it.

Tell Cory.

Enter.

I'd like to talk to you.

We couldn't stop it

I'm fine.

It's personal.

He's staying!

You shouldn't have barged in my room like that.

It's about Abby.

Let him talk! What about Abby?

I saw you together.

I followed her.

Well done! What's next?

At first, I wanted to teach you a good lesson.

But you've changed your mind.

I'll try to explain.

Do you mind?

Stay, Biloxi!

I've loved Abby for a long time.

I've heard.

I've only loved her. There will be no one else.

As long as I've known her...

there have always been other men.

I'll throw you out.

I'm not criticizing it. I love it!

I'm trying to explain.

She'll have to give up everything, her friends, her lifestyle.

When the family knows that they love a player...

I'm not being a snob.

That's all you are!

Okay, you call it snobbery.

It's an environment, a way of life,

that must be given to ensure his happiness.

You'll have to do a job she'll appreciate.

All this intrigues her, but she'll soon tire of it.

Her father likes you.

He'll help you.

I have friends...

Just a minute...

Would you help me for Abby's happiness?

You think I'm stupid.

What a weakling

and pitiful you are!

If you think you can fool me with your nobility, it's stupid.

Worse, you're a coward.

You weep for yourself.

You drink, squandering your father's money,

that's all you're good for.

All you know how to do is play the martyr.

Tonight, you've outdone yourself.

A noble gesture, and after you the deluge!

You think you're liberated?

I don't!

I thought you'd understand.

I was ready to step aside.

You're not right for her.

I'll tell him what you are.

I'll do anything to make her leave you.

Start by getting the hell out

Get out!

You got it.

I told the truth.

Feeling better?

What's the matter with you?

Feeling better?

You wanted him dead.

All done.

Say what you have to say

Don't get tough with me. That's your business!

What do you mean?

Having a problem is like being on the back of a tiger.

We're staying because if we get off the tiger,

it devours you.

You bore me with your bazaar philosophy.

- I won't bother you anymore. - That's great!

- Do the math. - I will. I will.

I'll let you know where to send my share.

Do you like it? I just bought it.

I don't know what to say.

Say yes!

I need to think.

To what?

Darling, you're proposing.

I need to think.

I'm giving up on the club,

and poker.

I've got some money saved up. I'm going to start a business.

Why?

Would you give up all that?

Isn't that what you want?

It's ridiculous!

Will you marry a player?

Honey, listen...

I love you.

Being together is wonderful, being here with you.

I can't imagine life without you.

Without marrying me.

I didn't say that.

That's what you think.

Cory, try to understand.

I'm trying, Abby.

I'm trying.

Do you have to say what you want to hear?

Why so many excuses? Say yes or no.

You complicate everything.

Why not keep it that way?

It's not enough for me.

That I love you?

No! I want you all the time.

Here I am.

I come as soon as I can.

If that's not enough...

But you won't marry me.

You never wanted it.

You'll marry an Alex and you'll keep seeing me.

I am what Alex will never be, but you're a lady!

A lady entertains with a thug,

but doesn't marry him.

Coming here every night wouldn't change your standing.

Let go of me!

You have everything I envied.

Beauty, education, social position.

Jen's is wonderful,

but you, you have no morality, Mlle Vollard.

You're just a fancy hen

What about you?

A shabby, conceited parvenu who is nothing without money!

You're rude, vulgar!

Do you mind?

Out, Matrobe!

I've come to settle the score.

The cops will be here in thirty minutes,

and your share is zero.

Hear that?

Hear that?

Biloxi is entitled to its share.

He gets half your share,

so nothing!

They closed two of my boxes because of you!

If you're not happy,

be a man and sue me!

Go out the back, we won't see you.

Maybe we'll avoid a roundup.

Where did you learn to shoot?

Come on!

Keep moving!

Still, he's got guts.

Attempted murder.

Assault.

We've got his old man!

- Give me the gun. - Don't kill it

Shut up!

Get out!

Missed again, Alex.

Stay out of this.

She refused to marry me.

Before you shoot.

Aren't you done with your speech? I'll call his old man.

No, Ruby.

What's up? Did you...

I have nothing.

Nothing at all.

And neither are you. I was cleaning my gun.

Your gun!

You'd better go.

Are you out of your mind?

Goodbye, Ruby.

Your hat.

Should I call an ambulance?

That's it.

You two, go back to your lake.

Take it away.

Next time, don't bring out the artillery.

Instead, flank Abby in the lake.

You know the way out.

Show her.

Stay calm, the ambulance is on its way.

- Would you pour me a drink? - Yes, certainly.

It's going to be crawling with cops.

Have you ever been arrested, Mr. Earnshaw?

Just once, sir,

for bigamy.

- May I? - Please do!

Cory!

Oh, Cory!

I was in a traffic jam.

- Good morning, Mr. Caldwell. - Miss Vollard.

I'll keep the seats.

Do you have to leave?

I'll write.

No, take me with you.

I can't do it.

I need to think.

We're going to rest in the sun,

fishing and thinking about the future.

Let me know.

I'll come anyway.

I'll bet you 10 to 1 that you'll marry me.

I like the odds.

I'm sure of myself.

It's been a long time decided to do it.

I waited so long, a little more, a little less...

It's time, sir.

Make it last, in the meantime.
