Third refill costs a nickel.

Tip.

Let's go! On the pass.

Gotcha. Fifteen. Let's go. Come on!

And raise 10,000.

Twenty-five! Five! Ten!

Come on. Come on. Fifteen.

Hey, you guys have limits.

High five.

And raise 10,000.

Anybody up? Twenty-five. Gotcha!

One-seven-five, one-seven-five left.

Nobody wants to bet against my hitter here, huh?

Nobody wants to bet? Might as well sell tickets to the place here.

Three on my side! I got three. Right.

Ten. I got ten. Oh, biggies.

- Anybody? - Fifteen!

I got 30. Oh, ho. Real spenders we got here.

Real high rollers.

Ah, you had your chance.

Come on. Let's go.

We're ready over here.

Just remember, anything goes but no hittin' when somebody's down.

- Yeah. - Okay. Let 'em go.

You want it? You want it? Yeah? Go get it. I want it.

Get in there! Get in there! Hey! Okay, Chuck!

Son of a bitch.

All right. Come on, Chuck boy. Get him.

Get in there!

Get in there. Get him.

Get in there!

Ohhh!

Go get him!

Come on! Go get him!

You can get him, Chuck! Come on! Take him now!

Move in on him. Move in!

Yes! Yes!

Come on. Get up. Come on. Come on. Get up.

Come on. Come on Get up! Come on. Get up!

Get up, you chump!

Hey, listen. I think I can do about six more of those.

Yeah. And a couple of lemons there.

You can start anytime, pal.

Chaney.

So what?

We could make some money.

Right. Well, I'm all ears, friend.

That piece of business tonight. You set it up?

Happens all the time. Help yourself. Thanks.

Suppose you been down the long, hard road.

Who hasn't?

Jail? You a policeman?

Just like to know where men come from, that's all.

You look a little past it. Besides, I already got a hitter.

Yeah. Yeah. I saw him.

Aw, son of a bitch laid down on me tonight.

Look, friend. Every town's got a bar,

and the bar's got somebody who thinks he's tough as a nickel steak.

But they all come to Speed for the do-re-mi.

He's a bum, I'm the one that loses.

I don't want your dough.

I got six bucks... and nothin' else.

You bet it.

Well, well, well, my old friend Speeds back...

with another potential winner.

Anybody want to bet this man? Not after last night.

Anybody?

I'll give two to one.

Three to one!

Come on! Odds like that do not come around every day.

Guess you boys aren't as slow as he is.

Gives us 150 in the pot. Gonna hold it?

And I got another 1-5-0 for anybody expects a repeat. What do I hear?

Fifty. Twenty.

Got it. I'll take it all. Anybody else?

- You're crazy! - You got 15 more. You a bettin' man?

Oh, wail a minute.

We got another six. That's all we got.

I'll take all of it.

I did my part, pal. He's all yours.

Hey, Pops, you're a little old for this, ain't ya?

Let's go. Let's go. Get the fight going. Come on.

Like everything else in this world, it takes money to make money.

Here's your 12.

Another ten just to have some fun on.

Work out our official deal later, huh?

Plenty more where that came from.

You don't have to worry about that.

Now. New Orleans-

Speed's comin' home. A little taste?

No?

Hello, sugarplum.

How'd it go, Speedy?

Well, a rough start but a fast finish.

Uh-huh. How much?

Even. Oh, wonderful.

Always be pleasant around strangers, honey.

This is Chaney. Gayleen Schoonover, my permanent fiancée.

I'm pleased to meet you, Mr. Chaney.

There she is. Let's go. I'll just say good-bye right here.

Wait a minute, pal. We got some plans to make.

I wanna feel my way around the city.

- What about our partnership? - I don't like to rush things.

Jesus Christ! What are you talking about?

Always be pleasant around strangers, Speed.

Are we gonna see you again, Mr. Chaney?

I might turn up.

Don't forget now. Number 11 Dauphine Street.

Who was that guy?

I'll tell you who he was. Money on the hoof.

It looks a little rougher than it really is,

but you get a lot of sun through that window.

Fix the place up, could be real nice.

Got some furniture down in the storage room you could use.

- Nah, I like it the way it is. - Buck and a half a week.

In advance.

Mind if I sit down?

Would you like to talk or just sit?

What's your name?

Who you waitin' for?

I'm waitin' for somebody to buy me another cup of coffee.

Have mine.

You live around here?

Didn't take ya long to get around to that one.

Thought maybe I could walk you home.

Not likely.

Girl had two choices in my hometown.

Stay and be bored or move out and take chances.

How's your luck been runnin'? How can you ask that?

Look how good I'm livin'.

Well, I've seen worse.

That depends on what you're looking for.

How 'bout you?

I don't look past the next bend in the road.

Want me to come in? No.

- You sure? - It's not that easy.

I got a husband in jail. No job and no prospects.

- I wasn't plannin' on botherin' ya. - Oh? What was your plan?

Maybe I'll see ya around.

Jesus Christ!

Come on. Get up.

Babe!

H-Hey, good to see you, pal.

I'm mighty glad you found time to stop by.

Come on! Get things started right. Don't mind Sleepin' Beauty here.

She's not one to rush into the day's work, are ya? Goddamn it.

We got an important guest here. How 'bout gettin' up and fixin' breakfast for us?

- Mornin'. - Christ on a crutch.

Hey, so I suppose you want to talk deal, huh?

Well, we go 50-50 on all scratch bets and expenses.

All side bets, I keep 75 percent. That's how it works.

Sixty-forty in my favor on scratch, side bets down the middle.

I'm tellin' ya the goin' rate. What's normal. Ask anybody.

- We'll do things different. - Why should we?

Because right now, my friend, you got a percentage of nothin'.

That makes me even with you. I'm puttin' up all the money. I take all the risks.

All right. All right. All right. We'll do it your way.

Gayleen! What's a man have to do to get some breakfast around here?

I got a good feelin' 'bout this. I think we'll make some real money.

I've got a couple things in mind. Set something up for you next week.

Go in slow, quiet. Four or five hundred dollars. Something like that.

There's something I want you to know. I only come down here to make some money.

Well? And to fill in some in-betweens.

In-betweens? Hell, that's no kind of livin'.

Well, it suits me.

When I get enough change in my pocket, I'm gone.

We just mark this one down to research. Part of your education.

I wanna have a long talk with anybody bettin' against me.

Listen. A hundred dollars against Curly.

- On a marker. - Uh-uh. No markers.

- Chick, boy, wha- - Take it.

Who else?

Who's the smoothy over there?

That's Chick Gandil. One of the big money belts in town.

Son of a bitch has broken me out three times.

He's the one we're gonna shake.

Anybody? Last call!

Stay away from him. Move fast. Jab him.

Ohhh!

Somebody help this kid up.

That's why he's the best.

Nobody ever beats him. Not many want to try.

What the hell you doin' back there?

I've always been a student of comparative religion.

The Pentecostals present a number of points of interest.

How much dopin' are you doin'?

This month my financial condition has prevented...

certain journeys of the imagination.

Good. We're back in business.

I really got somebody for us this time.

Chaney, I want you to meet my old friend, Poe.

Fix up your cuts, bruises- all sorts of good things.

I have two years of medical school to recommend me.

Two years doesn't make a doctor.

Well, in my third year of studies, a small, black cloud appeared on campus.

I left under it. What he's tryin' to say is that...

he's a dyed-in-the-wool hophead.

I have a weakness for opium.

That's a habit that's hard to quit.

Some are born to fail. Others have it thrust upon them.

Could I see your hands?

Oh. No protruding knuckles.

No calcium deposits. Mm-hmm.

Make a fist. Ooh.

More area to absorb the concussion of a blow without breaking.

Simple matter of engineering stress.

Reasonably thick skin. Oh, he's got good skin.

I'd say there's a good chance you're not...

what Speed, with an unfortunate turn of phrase, refers to as "a bleeder."

Like I told you, he's good. How much?

Ten percent of what we win, expenses. Standard.

Uh, hi. Mr. Le Beau here?

I need a, uh, short-termer for a thousand.

Huh. That's a heavy taste.

How short? Oh, a day, maybe two.

I've done business with you before.

Yeah. 'Bout a year ago. Mm-hmm.

- Got your money back. - Yeah. You paid back my $300 all right.

But you had to borrow it from Abboar to do it.

That one you didn't cover so well.

- Three weeks over. Big deal. - It was closer to three months.

Well, he got paid. What's the difference?

Well, there's a big difference between me and Abboar.

Well, I'll, uh, take your word for that.

Okay, Speed.

- That's 950. - I said a thousand.

That's 50 for the loan.

And 50 for every day until it comes back.

Whew. Boy, you really puttin' the Jesse James to me.

Now, you wait here, huh?

Well, how long you gonna be?

'Cause I don't feel like sittin' out here all day.

Listen. Don't start complaining now.

Don't you get caught up in any kind of game in there, Speed.

Business. It's business.

Give me one.

Well, hello, Speed. Good seein' you, Chick.

How's my personal pigeon?

Just stopped by to pay off my marker.

Well, that's all right now. We all make mistakes.

- Guess you heard about my new hitter? - I'll see that.

Uh, yeah. Word gets around. Oh, he's good.

Yeah?

Yeah. Might even work him up to ape man over there.

Well, now, there's- there's no mystery about it.

It's my standard deal. But, uh, you see,

you do have to have a thousand dollars up front.

You makin' an offer?

Well, my man's just startin' out.

He's good, but I have to get long odds if I'm gonna face skinhead.

Assuming that you did have the money, what kind of odds you talkin' about?

- Five to one. - Three to one.

Deal Somebody die and leave it to ya?

Three to one, Chickie. Money's on the table. What do ya say?

You know, I don't like being hustled by a hope-and-a-prayer artist.

You're not gettin' in that cheap.

The pot bet just now went up to three thousand.

Now, you come on back, when you get that rich.

- You mean to tell me we don't have a deal? - Not for a thousand.

I'll see you soon, Dempsey.

I'm feelin' quite fine, Mr. Pettibon. Quite fine.

Well, listen, we got a boy down here I think could make an interesting contest for you.

Well, now, that's, uh, quite a bit of money.

I don't know whether our boy's up to it or not. He's just startin' out.

He's, uh, real game. He's awful green though.

Nobody takes advantage of you bayou people.

We'll be there, Mr. Pettibon. Good talkin' with ya.

Told you it'd be a fat one.

Barber- How high?

Two thousand George Washingtons. Is that "high” enough for ya?

Gonna pay some bills. The dun at the door,

the wolf at the gate shall be held in abeyance.

Mm-hmm. You're that sure of Mr. Chaney.

Su- Does a goose go barefoot?

I'm goin' to get some cigars.

Oh, Mr. Pettibon.

Good to see you again, Mr. Weed.

Ah, look what we did for your little visit.

Well, this is mighty fine, mighty fine. I knew you'd like it.

Ah, this is my fiancée, Miss Gayleen Schoonover.

Well, how do, ma'am? Pleasure, Mr. Pettibon.

And, you remember Mr. Poe here.

O-Oh, sure, Mr. Poe. Nice to see you again, sir.

And that's Chaney.

- He don't say much. - They's got a plan.

He ain't gonna say much at all later.

That's your plan, Mr. Pettibon, not ours.

Oh, now, now, you said he was green.

What? Third time out.

Well, he don't look unpicked to me.

I guess I'll let my man be the judge of that. That's him right over there.

He looks like he's up to the mark.

He'd better be.

Goddamn!

Aw, hell!

Very pretty. Very nice. You better get the money.

Oh, listen. Nobody ever has to tell me to do that.

Well, that's how it's done, Mr. Pettibon.

I guess it just wasn't your day, was it?

Damn small question about that.

What the hell you doin'?

Well, now, this has been a big setback for us.

I didn't think anybody could go through my man that way.

It's obviously an error in judgment on your part then, wasn't it?

It was too damned easy.

There ain't no rules about that, except who wins. Now, that money's ours.

Somethin' wrong, Speed?

Yeah. We got us a problem. You're a ringer, Mr. Chaney.

You give us our goddamn money!

You want that money? Take it.

Somebody always shows up with a gun.

Goddamn sack of country shit.

Steady on, Speed. These boys are not refined.

I think you folks better get in your car and just drive right on home.

I think that's pretty good advice. There's a man makes some sense.

- He ain't gonna pay. - Just okay?

Listen, goddamn it! Next time I come back to this coon-ass place,

I'm gonna bring a gun. Well, you do that.

Make sure it's a great big one.

Now, get on out!

That's how it's done.

Sorry spectacle.

Very poor example of Southern sportsmanship.

All this drivin' for nothin'. My God, it breaks your heart.

Breaks my butt, that's what it breaks.

Why don't we take it easy and drive around the backcountry roads...

and see the sights for a while?

What the hell are you talkin' about?

Business.

Well, anyway, he went through L.J. just like that. Nothin' to it.

Anybody see that?

- My goodness! - Jesus Christ.

- Now I got the gun. - I guess you do.

Anybody else?

What about you?

I don't think you want to use it.

That's one way. You want to see another?

Gayleen!

This your place, Pettibon?

He's tearing the place up.

Whee.

Ooh.

Come on back here! Where y'all goin'? Come here! Come here!

Is this where you live?

I'll see ya in a couple of days.

- You know who we're goin' after next? - Yeah.

If this isn't your place, who's the lucky lady? Hey.

Y'all have a real big time now, you hear?

Who is it? Chaney.

What do you want?

Thought maybe you'd like to come out.

You'd treat me to a champagne breakfast or somethin'?

Whatever you feel like.

You know, it's 5:00 a.m.

Christ, I barely know you.

Yeah, but would you like to?

I guess I can make you some coffee.

You haven't gotten around to tellin' me what you do.

Well, it's somethin' people generally ask.

You worried I can't pay the check? No.

I'm worried because you never answer any questions.

Now, tell me. How do you make money?

I knock people down.

You mean like a prizefighter?

No. They're pickup fights. The money's made on bets.

And it's something I'm doin' just for a while.

Funny way to make a livin'.

It's better than workin' at the bus station changin' tires for two bucks a day.

What does it feel like to knock somebody down?

It makes me feel a hell of a lot better than it does him.

That's a reason?

Hey, there's no reasons about it. Just money.

Hello, Chick!

Good to see you. How's tricks? This is a private gatherin'.

I don't believe you gentlemen were invited. No. You remember Mr. Poe here.

Mr. Poe. Mr. Gandil. This is gonna take one minute.

Now, you remember those special numbers you quoted me on, that three to one?

I'm gonna take you up on that bet.

First you got to have 3,000 real whole dollars.

Otherwise, it's just an academic question.

You wanna count it?

Okay. You're on.

Howdy, Doty.

Speed.

You know, we haven't been seeing you around town.

Yeah. Well, I been busy.

You don't have anything in the eighth.

Man who can afford a shoeshine sure ought to be able to pay his debts.

Well, I got to keep up appearances, huh?

Way we figure it, you're overdue.

Overdue for what?

You pushin' me, Doty? You'll get your money.

Sure we will.

I got $200 I'll lay on you right now. How's that?

Hmm?

Steal it.

Sell your sister.

Borrow it.

But get it all. Yeah, well-

Now! Well, I need some time.

Couple of days.

No. Two days. Couple of days. I got- I got everythin' workin'.

Come on. Two days.

Better be a promise. You can bank on that.

Has been a few unfortunate fighters busted their knuckles on that hard head of his.

Bets in. Time! All bets in!

Hey, old man. I'm gonna end it for ya.

Just keep smilin', Big Jim, while you still got some lips.

When I get done with him, I'm comin' after you, big shot.

The only thing you gonna be comin' after is a doctor.

Jesus, I just saw it over there. $9,000 in a man's hand.

Whew- Enough to take your breath away.

Start 'em. Get 'em goin'.

- You okay? - We're ready over here!

Whoo-o-o.

Come on, Chaney. Goddamn it.

Oh.

Yeah!

Go get him!

Hey, you're pretty good.

Yeah!

That's it!

Yes!

Whoo-o-o- Goddamn!

My, my, my, my, my! Look at that lying there like a dead man.

Hardly know whether to call for an ambulance or a hearse.

On second thought, let's get a wheelbarrow in here...

and haul Mr. Gandil's hitter out.

You've always had an unfortunate way of puttin' things, Speed.

Nothin' personal, Chick.

Look at that.

All right. All right. Stand- Come on.

Let him through. Let him through. Goddamn. Come on now.

Hey, Chaney!

Hey, listen. I got a message from our old friend, Chick Gandil.

He wants us to come up and have a drink with him.

You handle it. I'm not interested.

Oh, now, he said "us.”

Never hurt anybody to be polite.

Yeah!

Oh, I saw you out there. Smooth, real smooth.

Thank you. Thank you. It's all in the partner that you have.

A-Ah, yes. Thank you.

I would like to propose a toast.

I propose a toast to the... best man I know.

To the Napoleon of Southern sports.

Me. Speed. Speed.

Come on, Gayleen. Let's get with those galloping dominoes.

We'll see you all later. Have a good time now. Okay, Poe?

Come on, honey.

I assume you realize that the blood of the fabled Edgar Allan courses through my veins.

No. But it sure sounds like I'm gonna hear about it.

Yes.

"Hear the sledges with the bells.

"Silver bells.

"How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle in the icy air of night.

"While the stars, that over-sprinkle-

"All the heavens, seem to twinkle...

with a crystalline delight.”

Hey, come on here. All right.

Get the whole 400 for the line.

Get 'em over here.

Don't give me a short count now, okay?

- Come on, dice! - Snake eyes!

Son of a bitch!

All right, pass the dice. He's through. Not yet, pal.

Shoot it all. Okay.

Bet it all.

Come on, nine!

Point six.

Everything in there? Come on!

All right!

Six is the point.

Come on. Make that six.

All right. I'm lookin' for a big pair of threes. Come on!

Lose. Next lucky roller.

Get your goddamn hat and coat. You lost all of it.

Shut up. What? Excuse me, Mr. High Roller.

I should have known.

Sure has been a lot of fun, pal.

How long an arm has he got?

Gandil's a businessman.

Worried about his reputation. He's not gonna try any muscle play.

There is one thing we are gonna have to live with though.

Since you beat old Jim Henry like that,

fights are gonna be harder to find,

and we are gonna have to give odds, which can be very expensive.

Would you tell Gandil that Mr. Chaney and Mr. Weed are here to see him, please?

Just go right on in. Thank you, ma'am.

How's your jaw, glass man, hmm?

Well, I'm glad you could drop by, Speed.

Always a pleasure. You remember Mr. Chaney here.

Well, sit down. Get comfortable. Thank you.

You, uh, care for a drink? No, no, no.

Too early for me. Thank you.

All business, huh? That's right. Well, let's have it.

You got a direct way of speakin'.

Don't let it upset ya, Chick.

I like a man that's direct.

Makes everything easy to understand, like the old days.

Chick, we didn't come down here for no history lesson.

Let's get down to cases.

Maybe we should at that.

There's $5,000 in that envelope.

It's yours.

I don't believe I'm followin' the drift.

I'm buyin' half of Chaney.

You talk to me, not him.

I used to have the best street fighter in this city. Now I don't.

I don't like that at all.

We can get along without you.

I'm sorry to hear that, Mr. Chaney.

I hope you come around to my way of thinkin'.

Well, hell! Look who's here.

Speed, you come to your Mama Lois's to have a really good time.

Oh, I sure did, Mama.

I got myself some lovely new girls. Let's go have a look.

Girls, girls!

Now, Speed, each one has been especially trained to suit your fancy.

I don't need no sales pitch. I just come to get my hat blocked.

Well, how about havin' a drink, mister? Sure. Bourbon.

What'd you say your name was? Carol.

Carol.

What'd you think about that, Carol?

Hey, it was terrific. You were really great.

You know something?

That's just exactly what I thought you'd say.

What the hell are you doin'? Hey, Doty!

Come on! Hey! Ow!

No! Don't. Don't, please-

Is that okay, Doty? Talk to him.

Mr. Le Beau says he's got some business with you.

He don't want no trouble, just you pay your debts.

Uh-huh.

Okay, mister.

Well, good seein' you gentlemen. Likewise, Speed.

We got a few things to talk about,

a couple of problems.

Well, I gotta get somethin' goin' in a hurry now.

Been thinkin' about Gandil.

Maybe we should reconsider that offer he made us.

Why the change of mind?

I'm flat-ass broke. I need some money fast.

I don't like Gandil.

That's no reason.

That's enough reason for me.

Well, that's fine for you, but it doesn't do much for my case, does it?

I mean, if we don't go with Gandil, it means I have to borrow.

My credit's not worth a damn all over town.

Can you loan me $2,000? That's what I need.

Speed, you made as much as me, dollar for dollar.

Well, the way I look at it, you owe me.

We used my bankroll to begin with,

my money, my contacts!

You were a bum when I met you, and you're nothin' without me.

Yeah, I figure you owe me.

Dumb.

You sayin' no to me?

Aw, Speed! Chaney!

Aw, hell, Speed, now we're both finished.

Welcome to New Orleans, Street.

I don't do that.

You ever get scared when you do your work?

I don't think about it.

The only thing you care about is the money.

Isn't that right? Just so the money's good.

You got any more questions?

Try this one. Are you gonna stay the night?

Not this time.

All right. Let's get it out.

What's botherin' ya?

Hell, yes, somethings wrong, a lot of things.

The rent, price of groceries,

clothes I can't buy, a few items like that.

How much do you want?

I want my own. I don't wanna depend on you.

You're not reliable.

You come when you want. You go when you want.

And you never mention what comes in the middle.

Suit yourself.

Can I buy ya one?

How you been?

You, uh- You wanna talk about the sportin' life?

I'm out of it. That's too bad.

I had to give up on you. Went out and bought myself another hitter.

The best.

Must make you very happy now that you got what you wanted.

I'll tell you what I want.

You must have quite a stash saved away by now. How about 5,000?

Him against you. Don't need any more money.

There's no point in avoiding this thing, you know.

It's gonna happen. He's right.

You want it that much? I'm getting paid.

I can always reach over and start things right now.

Yeah, but you won't.

You don't think so?

You're not gonna do it for free.

Who the hell are you?

Hey! Hey!

Ouch! Son of a bitch! Help!

Hey. This is your lucky night.

That depends on how you look at it.

Well, I'll tell you how to look at it.

Right about now, I'd be deciding whether to bust your legs or your back.

But, urn, somebody just paid the interest on your debt.

Just for one week.

Your man fights Mr. Street here, and I'll handle your home mortgage.

My man? He won't even speak to me, Chick.

We're gonna put you on ice for a while...

and, uh, see if maybe he'll speak to me.

I don't wanna interrupt anything.

Gandil come to see me. We have got a problem.

You and me ain't got no trouble, Poe. I'm afraid we do.

It's about our old friend Speed.

He send you? Don't even know I'm here.

Me and Speed ain't related anymore.

Things don't work that easy. He's in a lot of trouble.

I ain't interested.

Speed owes a ton to one of our local riffraff.

They're puttin' the arm on him.

Gandil's gonna pay the loan off if you take on his man.

No crowd, just business.

You want me to bet my $5,000. That's all the money I got.

I don't owe that goddamn Speed nothin'.

That's not the point. It's real simple.

He's in the ringer. You're the only one that can get him out.

Money's hard to come by, Poe.

Somebody got a cigarette?

I don't use any.

Of course, I'd be happy to go down and get some.

You're not goin' anywhere.

Listen, things don't work out tomorrow night, which one of you gets to do the job?

We both do.

Mm-mmm, not this time. I'll take him.

That's right. You haven't won one in a while, have you, Jim?

Three cards. He really cleaned your plow, didn't he?

Why don't you shut up and play cards?

- Think he's gonna show up? - Sure hope not.

I've got a visitor.

Some other time. Uh, no, wait.

I'll walk you down.

Well, how you been?

How do I look? I got no complaints.

There's somethin' I gotta tell you.

I don't think you should drop by anymore.

Things have changed.

I think I'm movin'.

I'm gonna get a better place.

I got a better offer.

Someone that spends the night.

He's even got a steady job.

Looks like you got things all figured out.

Is that all you've got to say?

Gentlemen.

Evenin'. Your man gonna show up?

We just have to wait and find out.

Let's get started.

Why not?

Where are they? Upstairs. Uh, go up and get 'em-

I'll do it!

We're not gonna wait here all night!

Thanks, pal.

Just like old times, huh? We did add a couple of new wrinkles.

Ever see him fight?

No, I can't say I've had the pleasure.

But they didn't bring him down all the way from Chicago to lose.

Let's do it.

All right, you pissant big shots, we're ready over here.

All right, anybody else got anything to say?

Glad you could make it.

Things have a way of comin' around.

You know, Mr. Chaney, I envy you.

Must be excitin' to bet more money than you can afford to lose.

What?

Who's gonna hold it?

He is.

It doesn't matter what you do. You're always gonna smell like fish.

That got him.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Come on.

Use 'em.

- Foul! Get those palmers out of here. - Use 'em!

- Goddamn it! Use 'em! - Forfeit! Forfeit!

By God!

You owe me money.

You know, you cost me a great deal.

You'll live with it.

Mr. Chaney, it's been a pleasure watchin' you work.

Well, you know, Chick, like old mama said,

"Next best thing to playin' and winnin'-

Is playin' and losin'."

I'll see you around. Adios.

Sure this is far as you wanna go?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Hey, Poe.

I got a cat back at my place.

I want you to take care of it for me.

That's a lot of money.

You take care of Poe.

For a man who came to town to make some money,

you're sure givin' a lot of it away.

You're forgetting about the in-betweens.

Yeah, I guess you filled them out all right.

Uh, well, where are you off to?

North.

Well, Chaney?

We ought to say somethin'.

Maybe we ought to head on down to Miami.

Get into some of that action down there, huh?

It's a hell of a town, you know.

Right on that warm oceanfront.

Fine salt sea air.

Be good for our health.

Uh-huh.

Oh, he sure was somethin'.

Let's go get the cat.

Yeah.
