1. It's board game night, baby.
Copy !req
2. Monopoly?
Copy !req
3. Uh, hell, yeah.
Copy !req
4. - Proceed directly to "Go."
- Cards Against Humanity?
Copy !req
5. On your mark, get set.
Laugh your ass off!
Copy !req
6. I've never seen this one before.
Copy !req
7. Sounds wicked boring, bro.
Copy !req
8. Actually, it seems like this game
could be low-key sick-ass.
Copy !req
9. You spend flash points
to move the question flag
Copy !req
10. and get answer points.
Copy !req
11. Unspent flash points
are called nullifiers.
Copy !req
12. Whoever reaches flashpoint parity wins.
Copy !req
13. - Any questions?
- Um...
Copy !req
14. Great. So, Francine,
I rolled the Conundrum die,
Copy !req
15. and it looks like you're
entering a Probe Period.
Copy !req
16. - Oh, no!
- No, it's a good thing.
Copy !req
17. Or a bad thing.
Copy !req
18. You have to announce how many nullifiers
you have in your Quandary deck.
Copy !req
19. - Oh, okay.
- And it's okay to lie.
Copy !req
20. - Oh, okay.
- Mom decided to lie.
Copy !req
21. No, she didn't.
Copy !req
22. - Okay. Say the number.
- Here it comes.
Copy !req
23. I have... three nullifiers.
Copy !req
24. You decided to tell the truth
at the last second.
Copy !req
25. - No.
- That's a lie.
Copy !req
26. I declare Reciprocity Challenge.
Copy !req
27. Mom has three nullifiers.
It's embarrassingly obvious.
Copy !req
28. - This game is stupid.
- That's a disjunction.
Copy !req
29. That's two flash points.
Copy !req
30. Mom, don't get mad
because you're so easy to read.
Copy !req
31. I'm not mad.
Copy !req
32. Okay. Sure, Mom. Look at her neck.
Copy !req
33. - So red.
- I'm not mad!
Copy !req
34. I just remembered I'm...
I'm getting an oil change tomorrow
Copy !req
35. and I haven't driven enough miles yet,
so I got to go.
Copy !req
36. Sorry to run,
but we've had a lot of laughs about me.
Copy !req
37. And I like that.
Copy !req
38. Mom, don't go. We were just having fun.
Copy !req
39. We don't want you to cry.
Copy !req
40. I'm not crying.
Copy !req
41. Mom, we can hear you crying. Come back.
Copy !req
42. I'm not crying. I'm laughing!
Copy !req
43. Mr. Klaus,
I swallowed a question flag
Copy !req
44. and I need to go to the hospital.
Copy !req
45. Good morning, USA
Copy !req
46. I got a feeling
That it's gonna be a wonderful day
Copy !req
47. The sun in the sky
Has a smile on his face
Copy !req
48. And he's shining a salute
To the American race
Copy !req
49. Oh, boy, it's swell to say
Copy !req
50. Good morning, USA
Copy !req
51. Ah!
Copy !req
52. Good morning, USA
Copy !req
53. All right. That's enough of this.
Copy !req
54. Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!
Copy !req
55. I thought you hid in Stan's car
every night.
Copy !req
56. Why were you in mine?
Copy !req
57. Not proud of it, but I badly needed
some cash for Funko Pops.
Copy !req
58. Decided to steal
your catalytic converter.
Copy !req
59. Then I realized I don't know
what a catalytic converter is,
Copy !req
60. or where it is, even.
Copy !req
61. Thought it'd be in the foot well,
but it's dark down there
Copy !req
62. and I fell asleep.
Copy !req
63. What's bothering you, Franny?
Copy !req
64. It's the kids.
Copy !req
65. They act like my every thought
is so obvious to them.
Copy !req
66. Like I'm just a big old obvious Mom.
Copy !req
67. And what gets me most upset is
they're right.
Copy !req
68. So they can read you very easily.
And this makes you unhappy?
Copy !req
69. What if they couldn't
read you so easily?
Copy !req
70. - That might make you happy.
- Probably not, but I want it.
Copy !req
71. Sounds like you need a poker face
and a serendipitous stroke of luck.
Copy !req
72. Tonight, I'm being the Gambler.
Copy !req
73. - The Gambler?
- Yes, the Gambler from the song.
Copy !req
74. Although I have a complicated
relationship with that song, frankly.
Copy !req
75. Is it a good song? Yes.
Copy !req
76. Was Kenny Rogers able to get
his version of the story out
Copy !req
77. before I could release my book detailing
when to hold them and fold them?
Copy !req
78. Why is it good for me
that you're the Gambler?
Copy !req
79. Because my game is poker,
and I think if we were able to
Copy !req
80. sit down and play a little poker,
Copy !req
81. I could get a look at your tells,
figure out what's tipping Steve
Copy !req
82. and Hayley off about your every thought.
Copy !req
83. - I'm not sure.
- There's your first tell.
Copy !req
84. Your broken posture says to me,
"I'm not sure."
Copy !req
85. I said it out loud.
Copy !req
86. The ultimate tell.
The only hard part is finding a game.
Copy !req
87. Let's see. Buckle has a treehouse game,
but it's a pretty rich crowd,
Copy !req
88. and also I struggle
with the rope ladder.
Copy !req
89. There's a game of Five Card Stud
in the sewers,
Copy !req
90. where the toilet water gets all over you
Copy !req
91. and you're guaranteed
to get bit by rats.
Copy !req
92. But the downside is, I don't like stud.
Copy !req
93. There's also a nightly game of Hold'em
Copy !req
94. in the back of this
grocery store right here.
Copy !req
95. So the sewer game, I guess?
Copy !req
96. No, wait. The grocery store.
It's so close.
Copy !req
97. Most people don't know it,
Copy !req
98. but there's a lot of hot action in
the back of supermarkets late at night.
Copy !req
99. Nope.
Copy !req
100. Ba-ba-ba-bingo.
Copy !req
101. I mean, pa-pa-pa-poker.
Copy !req
102. Francine, meet the players.
Copy !req
103. Chinchilla Slim,
an old lady who always wears
Copy !req
104. an enormous fur coat and a cowboy hat.
Copy !req
105. Tom, from the grocery store.
This grocery store.
Copy !req
106. He's got a nice, slim build
but it's not in his name.
Copy !req
107. Then, as usual, there's three performers
Copy !req
108. from whatever traveling
Cirque du Soleil show is in town.
Copy !req
109. Their bodies are insane.
Copy !req
110. Am I talking about
people's bodies too much?
Copy !req
111. Let's just play cards.
Copy !req
112. I'll watch for your tells
and we'll talk if I notice anything big.
Copy !req
113. Your eyes twitch when you need a card,
Copy !req
114. you bite and spit your nails
when you're bluffing.
Copy !req
115. And when you get a face card,
Copy !req
116. you actually say out loud,
"Oh, Mr. Mooney."
Copy !req
117. I didn't know I was doing any of that.
Copy !req
118. It's bad, but don't despair.
Copy !req
119. You're with the Gambler himself.
Copy !req
120. Didn't you die in that song?
Copy !req
121. Kenny took a lot of license there.
Copy !req
122. I fell asleep very, very hard.
I did not die.
Copy !req
123. Roger, help me.
Copy !req
124. Surface tells are easy
to handle with props.
Copy !req
125. Wrist weights, fake lips,
mechanical ears.
Copy !req
126. But for the subtle unconscious tells,
we have to go deeper.
Copy !req
127. If you'll allow me,
I'd like to guide you
Copy !req
128. through a helpful
visualization technique.
Copy !req
129. All right, close your eyes.
Copy !req
130. I need you to picture yourself
standing alone
Copy !req
131. in a field of golden wheat.
Copy !req
132. Barley, if you know your grains.
Copy !req
133. Oh, wow, I can see it.
Copy !req
134. Now, I want you to back away
from yourself.
Copy !req
135. Let yourself get farther
and farther away.
Copy !req
136. Not so far that you're gone,
Copy !req
137. but until you can't see
your face clearly.
Copy !req
138. Okay, I'm far away.
Copy !req
139. How is this gonna help me
hide my feelings?
Copy !req
140. Open your eyes.
Copy !req
141. You won. They couldn't read you.
Copy !req
142. That was an incredible hand
to play so stone-faced, little lady.
Copy !req
143. Looks like my no-good kids
better watch out,
Copy !req
144. 'cause Mom isn't so easy
to read anymore.
Copy !req
145. That's right.
Look over there, not over here.
Copy !req
146. Last night was amazing, Roger.
Copy !req
147. I really felt like I could hide
my emotions.
Copy !req
148. Where the hell have you been?
Copy !req
149. I've been worried sick
all the 10 minutes
Copy !req
150. since I woke up after sleeping
nine hours straight.
Copy !req
151. Excuse me.
I have to take this phone upstairs.
Copy !req
152. There's no call.
Copy !req
153. I'm sorry to worry you, honey,
but after I got so upset last night...
Copy !req
154. Upset? But you repeatedly said
you weren't upset
Copy !req
155. before you stormed off
in what I assumed was elation.
Copy !req
156. And what is this?
Copy !req
157. I can explain.
- I should hope so,
Copy !req
158. because if you think I'm going
to let this slide... Is that a fur coat?
Copy !req
159. I won that from Chinchilla...
Copy !req
160. It's a man's coat, right?
Copy !req
161. No.
Copy !req
162. Anyway, last night,
I think I learned something...
Copy !req
163. Some things aren't a husband's business.
You were out. Who am I to ask where?
Copy !req
164. I'll make you some sausage and peppers.
Copy !req
165. You gotta be hungry.
Copy !req
166. Or maybe you're not. Maybe you ate.
It's not for me to know.
Copy !req
167. Mom, are you just getting home?
Copy !req
168. Oh, it just drives you crazy
to not know what I'm up to.
Copy !req
169. So you're up to something.
Copy !req
170. - Um...
- Mom's up to something?
Copy !req
171. - Steve!
- What's going on?
Copy !req
172. It's a Probe Period!
Copy !req
173. What I actually said was,
Copy !req
174. "Never count your money
when you're sitting at the table,
Copy !req
175. "because you should get
one of those money-counting machines.
Copy !req
176. "They're faster." Hello?
Copy !req
177. The bastard Kenny Rogers hung up on me.
Copy !req
178. Didn't he die years ago?
Copy !req
179. - Sounds right.
- I thought I had a poker face now.
Copy !req
180. But it still feels like
the kids can see right through me.
Copy !req
181. Well, yeah.
I mean, you only did one night.
Copy !req
182. Getting a killer poker face
will take more hands than that.
Copy !req
183. Then I gotta play more.
Copy !req
184. Is this really the right solution
for your problem with the kids?
Copy !req
185. It's your solution that you recommended.
Copy !req
186. You passed my test.
Copy !req
187. - How was it a test?
- It was just an intricate little test.
Copy !req
188. Let's go play poker.
Copy !req
189. Chimdale Stakes Casino.
Copy !req
190. This is where the constant action is.
Copy !req
191. It's very grim, but also very bright
at the same time.
Copy !req
192. You gotta moisturize.
The cigarette smoke will dry you out.
Copy !req
193. And eat your "P" fruits.
Pears, peaches, plums.
Copy !req
194. Because all the sitting
and the Red Bulls will stop you up.
Copy !req
195. Look at this room.
There isn't a regular BMer in the lot.
Copy !req
196. Hemorrhoids, every which way.
Copy !req
197. Hey, it's Chinchilla Slim.
Hi, Chinchilla Slim.
Copy !req
198. You took the only coat
I had in this whole world.
Copy !req
199. Don't say hi to me.
Copy !req
200. I don't know anyone else yet.
What's that over there?
Copy !req
201. That area's for high rollers.
Copy !req
202. The buy-in is twice Buckle's treehouse.
Copy !req
203. A lot of players you're seeing here
Copy !req
204. will play the Chimdale Stakes
No-Limit Tournament next month.
Copy !req
205. Well, maybe I'll play in that, too.
Copy !req
206. Are you crazy?
Copy !req
207. The buy-in on that tournament
is so steep,
Copy !req
208. it's like Buckle's treehouse on crack.
Copy !req
209. Jack-high straight.
Copy !req
210. Flush. Hearts a-flutter.
Copy !req
211. No. No!
Copy !req
212. Rose, please, give me one more week!
Copy !req
213. The debt must be paid.
Copy !req
214. Mommy!
Copy !req
215. - What the hell was that?
- Keep your voice down.
Copy !req
216. That's Frog Rose,
Frog Ross's cruel sister.
Copy !req
217. She took over his chain
of successful Foie Grastaurants.
Copy !req
218. Anyway, Frog Rose is a backer.
Copy !req
219. Someone who loans
a player betting money.
Copy !req
220. But she charges such crazy interest,
Copy !req
221. you have to win right away or...
Copy !req
222. She snaps you?
Copy !req
223. She takes you away
and you're never seen again.
Copy !req
224. I mean, maybe she does snap you
somewhere behind closed doors.
Copy !req
225. I don't know. The point is, I don't work
with backers and you shouldn't either.
Copy !req
226. Of course, all my decisions
have left me completely broke and alone.
Copy !req
227. But as God is my witness,
nothing can stop me from giving advice.
Copy !req
228. You touch your wedding ring
when you have a hot hand,
Copy !req
229. especially two-pair,
jacks with eyeballs.
Copy !req
230. - Rubber electrician's gloves will...
- I'll just take it off. I don't care.
Copy !req
231. Yikes.
Copy !req
232. You're grinding your teeth
when you have a dead hand.
Copy !req
233. We need to go further into the barley.
Copy !req
234. $380, $400.
Copy !req
235. $401.
Copy !req
236. And here's a little something extra
Copy !req
237. because you look so cute
with your ass up in the air.
Copy !req
238. Ooh!
Copy !req
239. - Who's "oohing" in here?
- And about what?
Copy !req
240. Your eyes wrinkle at the corners
when you're hunting clubs.
Copy !req
241. Time for wraparound Oakleys.
Copy !req
242. I'm on a bad run.
Copy !req
243. Somebody help me with my life.
Copy !req
244. You tuck your chin
when you're trying to bait someone.
Copy !req
245. Every time I come to whisper in your ear
is a huge tell.
Copy !req
246. I should stop but I can't.
Copy !req
247. Who is that woman?
Copy !req
248. That's the second table
she's run this week.
Copy !req
249. No one knows anything about her
or where she came from.
Copy !req
250. They started calling her
the Pink Sphinx.
Copy !req
251. Pink Sphinx.
Copy !req
252. That's a stupid-sounding name.
Copy !req
253. You got that right, Frog Rose.
Copy !req
254. I think you're ready to take
your poker face up to the big table.
Copy !req
255. So anything new with anyone?
Copy !req
256. The fur? I've always been a fur guy.
Copy !req
257. No, what's going on with Mom?
Copy !req
258. I bet we could guess.
Copy !req
259. You'd be wrong.
Copy !req
260. We've barely seen you since game night,
when you were so upset.
Copy !req
261. - Nope.
- What are you doing? Another game?
Copy !req
262. Yeah, that's it.
Copy !req
263. But what game?
Copy !req
264. The glasses. Why?
Copy !req
265. To hide the eyes?
Copy !req
266. A mask?
Copy !req
267. A poker face.
Copy !req
268. Run, Francine!
Copy !req
269. No, you're right. I am playing poker.
Copy !req
270. I hope you're sticking
to small-time games.
Copy !req
271. Yeah, with a poker face like that,
the real players will eat you alive.
Copy !req
272. Actually, I have a great poker face
Copy !req
273. and I play in big, big games.
Copy !req
274. I'm playing in the Chimdale Stakes
No-Limit Tournament.
Copy !req
275. I need to be in that tournament.
Copy !req
276. Where will you get the money
for the buy-in?
Copy !req
277. What about Frog Rose?
Copy !req
278. A total death sentence.
Let's brainstorm other ways.
Copy !req
279. Do you know what a catalytic converter
looks like and where it is on a car?
Copy !req
280. You did the right thing
coming to me, sugar.
Copy !req
281. I'll stake your buy-in.
Copy !req
282. I think you'll find the terms
very, very diabolical.
Copy !req
283. Although legally,
they have to be called nefarious.
Copy !req
284. Those lousy lawyers. Where do I sign?
Copy !req
285. Francine!
Copy !req
286. Welcome to the big leagues, baby.
Copy !req
287. - Busted.
- 'Sup?
Copy !req
288. Mom, we figured out what's going on.
Copy !req
289. You have a gambling problem.
Copy !req
290. - Nope.
- Then quit right now.
Copy !req
291. - Nah.
- Time for Plan B.
Copy !req
292. Enter the tournament
and defeat you ourselves
Copy !req
293. to save you from this addiction.
Copy !req
294. How could you both afford the buy-in?
Copy !req
295. We just pawned our dad's huge
fur coat collection.
Copy !req
296. Oh! That's smart.
Copy !req
297. We've got your number, Pink Sphinx.
Copy !req
298. See you at the final table.
Copy !req
299. It looks like we're actually
at your table in the first round.
Copy !req
300. Damn, I'm out.
Copy !req
301. I don't really know how to play poker.
Copy !req
302. I don't really know why I thought I did.
Copy !req
303. All in.
Copy !req
304. Hmm... Are you bluffing?
Copy !req
305. Harder to read than normal,
but I still sense something.
Copy !req
306. I need to go deeper.
Copy !req
307. Wow. Maybe you can hide from me.
Copy !req
308. Still, my first instinct was call.
Copy !req
309. A pair of eights. Sweet 16.
Copy !req
310. Absolutely nothing.
Copy !req
311. The toilet flush.
Copy !req
312. The underaged boy wins the round.
Copy !req
313. We saved our mom today
We saved that Mom
Copy !req
314. Mom, where are you going?
Copy !req
315. Did we save you?
Copy !req
316. On a humid, swampy evening
Copy !req
317. In a swamp boat bound for Swampville
Copy !req
318. The Pink Sphinx was a-taken
Copy !req
319. To where, she could not ask
Copy !req
320. Because she died inside her mind
Copy !req
321. To try to hide her tells
Copy !req
322. And what was once a poker face
Copy !req
323. Is now a death mask
Copy !req
324. Oh, it looks like winning just wasn't
in the cards, my little moss blossom.
Copy !req
325. But don't worry.
Copy !req
326. You can spend eternity here
in my big old wet casino
Copy !req
327. in the dead, dark heart of the swamp.
Copy !req
328. Well, the swamp witch
had old Francine
Copy !req
329. And there was no one that could stop her
Copy !req
330. Then along came her penitent kids
Copy !req
331. And a handsome man named me
Copy !req
332. Hey, Mom.
Keep running into you at casinos.
Copy !req
333. But it seems like
we maybe didn't save you.
Copy !req
334. It seems like we maybe doomed you.
Copy !req
335. Because we didn't understand
what was going on.
Copy !req
336. Well, well, well.
Copy !req
337. If it isn't the Gambler.
Copy !req
338. - Frog Rose.
- You think you're such hot gumbo
Copy !req
339. because Kenny Rogers
wrote a song about you.
Copy !req
340. Well, Fred Schneider of the B-52s
Copy !req
341. wrote Rock Lobster after he saw moi
Copy !req
342. get a nasty sunburn at Rehoboth Beach.
Copy !req
343. Excuse me, but we want to take
our mom away from here.
Copy !req
344. Unfortunately, I own her marker,
Copy !req
345. and at the rate I'm paying her,
Copy !req
346. she won't be free to leave
in this lifetime.
Copy !req
347. What if we play you for her
in a game of poker?
Copy !req
348. What are you putting up for stake?
Copy !req
349. Us. We'll work here forever, too.
Copy !req
350. Ooh! That's what I was hoping you'd say.
Copy !req
351. I love that kind of shit.
Copy !req
352. Now, join me at my spookiest table.
Copy !req
353. So which one of you kids am I playing?
Copy !req
354. You'll be playing Mom.
Copy !req
355. She's the Pink Sphinx,
Copy !req
356. and you'll never get a read on her
in a million years.
Copy !req
357. You want to pick her?
Copy !req
358. She's a drooler, boy. Un zombo de zwamp.
Copy !req
359. A fan boat with no gas, as it were.
Copy !req
360. Only because she thinks
we don't believe in her.
Copy !req
361. Maybe. Is that it?
Copy !req
