1. You're in a pretty good mood tonight.
Copy !req
2. Why not?
Copy !req
3. I was up till two in the morning
finishing off Kierkegaard.
Copy !req
4. I hope he thanked you for it.
Copy !req
5. I see Coach and George
are still at it.
Copy !req
6. Yeah. It's kind of fun.
They enjoy each other's company.
Copy !req
7. It's nice to have someone
your own age to spend time with.
Copy !req
8. You've been through the same fads.
You don't have to explain things.
Copy !req
9. - There's a real comfort in that.
- Too bad we're not closer in age.
Copy !req
10. isn't it?
Copy !req
11. However, six or seven years
really isn't that much.
Copy !req
12. I would have thought eight or nine.
Copy !req
13. - I find older men stimulating.
- I hope you're not talking about me.
Copy !req
14. Certainly not. You're not
in the least bit stimulating.
Copy !req
15. Listen. Seriously,
I would not worry about your age.
Copy !req
16. You're obviously young enough to
bring that Kierkegaard fellow home.
Copy !req
17. Do you two think that
you could put your glands on hold
Copy !req
18. long enough
to get some work done here?
Copy !req
19. You win again, George.
Copy !req
20. I just had all the cards today,
Coach. You'll get me tomorrow.
Copy !req
21. You bet I will. Take it easy, pal.
Copy !req
22. Always do. See you, pal.
See you, folks.
Copy !req
23. - Take care.
- Bye.
Copy !req
24. Sam, can I borrow
20 bucks till payday?
Copy !req
25. You bet.
Copy !req
26. - Boy, was that George hot!
- I didn't know you played for money.
Copy !req
27. Every day for months.
Copy !req
28. - How many games have you won?
- if I had to guess, let me see...
Copy !req
29. None.
Copy !req
30. None?
Copy !req
31. Sam,
I've been right in there every game.
Copy !req
32. - Coach, that guy's a hustler.
- George and me, we're like pals.
Copy !req
33. That's how they operate. Trust me.
Copy !req
34. - We're only playing for fun.
- How much fun have you lost?
Copy !req
35. - About eight grand.
- Eight grand?
Copy !req
36. That's spread over
since last February.
Copy !req
37. Don't you see what he's doing? He's
taking you for everything you got.
Copy !req
38. I can't believe it.
Copy !req
39. Sam, you are at least six or seven
years older than I am. Admit it.
Copy !req
40. Wait a second.
Copy !req
41. We just discovered George has been
hustling Coach for a lot of money.
Copy !req
42. George? That sweet,
white-haired gentleman?
Copy !req
43. - Piffle.
- No, Diane, it's true.
Copy !req
44. Sam, isn't there anything
we can do about it?
Copy !req
45. I got it. We beat him up, strip him,
take his money and put him on a bus.
Copy !req
46. - Subtle, Carla.
- That's how I got to Boston.
Copy !req
47. I just had the worst idea
I've ever had.
Copy !req
48. - Worse than hiring her?
- The second worst idea.
Copy !req
49. Remember Harry?
Copy !req
50. Maybe he could help us out here.
Copy !req
51. You mean that hustler
you're always throwing out?
Copy !req
52. That's like calling Spinoza
to settle an argument
Copy !req
53. between Nietzsche and Schopenhauer.
Copy !req
54. She's got a point there, Sam.
Copy !req
55. Look, I think
it's a mistake to trust Harry.
Copy !req
56. George is a con men. Harry's
a con man. What's the old saying?
Copy !req
57. - "Send a thief..."
- "To camp for the summer."
Copy !req
58. I don't even know where to find him.
Copy !req
59. I know exactly where he is.
In jail, like he always is.
Copy !req
60. You sure?
Copy !req
61. In Boston, for the city jail.
Sure you don't mind me doing this?
Copy !req
62. No, go ahead. I use lnformation
to get numbers all the time.
Copy !req
63. Coach.
Copy !req
64. - Hi, Harry.
- Harry...
Copy !req
65. ..Here's the 10 bucks I'm gonna owe
you in about five minutes.
Copy !req
66. Thanks. Coach, where's Sam?
Copy !req
67. - He'll be out in a minute.
- Wanna play for a drink?
Copy !req
68. Not a chance, Harry. No way.
Copy !req
69. Don't show fear.
Copy !req
70. He smells fear.
Copy !req
71. Cliff. You feel lucky?
Copy !req
72. - Sure. Why?
- Tell you what.
Copy !req
73. I'll bet you a dime I can drink
that drink without touching the hat.
Copy !req
74. A dime?
Copy !req
75. - OK. You're on.
- You'll love this.
Copy !req
76. It's gone.
Copy !req
77. What's so good about that?
Anybody can do that. I can do that.
Copy !req
78. - No.
- A dime?
Copy !req
79. Coach, another shot, please.
Copy !req
80. A dime says I can drink the old shot
without touching the old chapeau.
Copy !req
81. Are you ready? I'll be right back.
Copy !req
82. OK, that baby's gone.
Copy !req
83. That's great, Cliff.
That's worth a dime.
Copy !req
84. You can laugh,
but at least I got my money back.
Copy !req
85. Five bucks for the booze, Cliffo.
Copy !req
86. - Thanks, Cliff.
- Any time, Harry.
Copy !req
87. What's the matter?
Copy !req
88. if you gave as much to the
space programme as you have to him,
Copy !req
89. we'd have condos on Venus.
Copy !req
90. Thank you for coming.
Can I get you a drink?
Copy !req
91. - For free is too easy.
- Let's go sit down over there.
Copy !req
92. Coach, you wanna join us?
Carla, you got the bar?
Copy !req
93. She always gets to watch the bar.
Copy !req
94. - Diane, you may have the bar.
- Goody.
Copy !req
95. Diane has the bar.
Copy !req
96. - Yes?
- I need a Bloody Mary.
Copy !req
97. A Bloody Mary coming up.
Copy !req
98. Where do we keep the Mary?
Copy !req
99. "The Bartender's Guide."
Copy !req
100. "The Bloody Mary."
Copy !req
101. "There's nothing like a fresh
Bloody Mary to start any day."
Copy !req
102. "A traditional favourite
served with lunch, brunch,
Copy !req
103. and often as the
'hair of the dog that bit you'."
Copy !req
104. - "lts name derives from..."
- Make the drink!
Copy !req
105. That's Eddie the Mole from Phoenix.
They call him Mole Man, or Moley.
Copy !req
106. - In Philly they call him Sid.
- Sid?
Copy !req
107. Philly's a dull town.
Copy !req
108. So, what you're saying
is he's pretty well-known?
Copy !req
109. Any bird-dogger knows him.
He runs paper and cubes,
Copy !req
110. mainly in the crib,
sometimes up against the wall.
Copy !req
111. Puts on a straight-up-guy front,
Copy !req
112. and then grinds away slow
with coolers and hop toads,
Copy !req
113. real rip and tear kind of stuff.
Copy !req
114. Yeah. That sounds like him.
Copy !req
115. It seems to me he got in trouble
with the boys in Vegas last year.
Copy !req
116. He's been keeping a low profile.
Could be him.
Copy !req
117. A lot of those guys lay low
by making small money off dumb saps.
Copy !req
118. So where do I come in?
Copy !req
119. Sam, excuse me. Where do you keep
the measuring spoons?
Copy !req
120. - We don't have any.
- What?
Copy !req
121. "Precise measurements are one of
the keys to a good drink." Page 12.
Copy !req
122. Serving it the same day it's ordered
is right up there, too.
Copy !req
123. Carla,
Copy !req
124. Girls, please.
Copy !req
125. C'mon, Harry.
You got anything? You got any ideas?
Copy !req
126. I think you need a poker game.
The Mole is not known for poker.
Copy !req
127. Call him and tell him you have
a little game going here at closing.
Copy !req
128. That makes you the roper.
You bring him into the game.
Copy !req
129. How do we know that he brings
enough money to cover Coach's losses?
Copy !req
130. The guys always carry a big roll.
They gotta be ready for action.
Copy !req
131. You have to promote this
as a friendly neighbourhood game.
Copy !req
132. - You're the inside man.
- With you so far.
Copy !req
133. - I'm gonna need a bankroll.
- You just lost me.
Copy !req
134. Sam, if you don't stake me,
it doesn't go down.
Copy !req
135. - I need about five grand.
- Five grand? Are you kidding me?
Copy !req
136. This whole thing's
getting out of hand.
Copy !req
137. Sam, please.
Copy !req
138. Alright. I'll be the... What d'you
call the guy who brings the money?
Copy !req
139. You call him the guy
who brings the money.
Copy !req
140. One other thing, Sam.
Copy !req
141. - I appreciate this.
- I appreciate getting bailed out.
Copy !req
142. Besides, I don't like the idea of
somebody else plucking my pigeons.
Copy !req
143. See ya.
Copy !req
144. Thanks, Sam.
Copy !req
145. "A dash of pepper."
Copy !req
146. A lot of ingredients
in a Bloody Mary.
Copy !req
147. That's why we usually mix up five
gallons and put it in the fridge.
Copy !req
148. Carla, why'd you let her do it?
Copy !req
149. I wanted to see her
try and make vodka.
Copy !req
150. - Closing time.
- Sammy, let me get this straight.
Copy !req
151. Whatever we lose,
we're gonna get back.
Copy !req
152. - That's right.
- Great.
Copy !req
153. I love to gamble without risk.
Copy !req
154. Sam, would you mind
if I stay and watch?
Copy !req
155. I promise I won't ask
a bunch of dumb questions.
Copy !req
156. - You won't even know I'm here.
- OK.
Copy !req
157. So, why poker?
Copy !req
158. Why not crazy eights or chess? Why
don't I shut up like I said I would?
Copy !req
159. I always get this way when
I'm nervous. What can I do to stop?
Copy !req
160. I know what to do with hiccups,
but with runaway chattering...
Copy !req
161. Hello, everyone.
Copy !req
162. Hi, George.
Copy !req
163. I understand you fellas have
a little poker game going tonight?
Copy !req
164. We get together
every once in a while.
Copy !req
165. Coach thought
you might like to sit in.
Copy !req
166. I haven't played poker in years.
I just hope I don't embarrass myself.
Copy !req
167. Embarrass yourself?
You're playing poker with guys
Copy !req
168. who can't bet and chew gum
at the same time.
Copy !req
169. We got an extra chair in here, Harry,
if you wanna sit in.
Copy !req
170. Me?
Copy !req
171. Well, I've heard that poker
can be a pleasant diversion,
Copy !req
172. if it doesn't get too intense.
Copy !req
173. - Aren't you playing, Coach?
- Not me, George. Gin's my game.
Copy !req
174. OK. Minimum buy-in's $500.
Let's see some money, gentlemen.
Copy !req
175. You're pretty good.
Copy !req
176. - Lucky tonight.
- Yeah, real lucky, huh, Harry?
Copy !req
177. Your bet, Cliff.
Copy !req
178. I'll see that 50
and I'll raise you...
Copy !req
179. Let's see. I'll raise you
100 Paul Revere commemoratives.
Copy !req
180. You can't bet stamps.
Copy !req
181. I'll fold, then.
Copy !req
182. - Up to you, Norm.
- The Lord hates a coward.
Copy !req
183. I'll see the 50 and raise $300.
Copy !req
184. - You're bluffing.
- You're right. I'm out.
Copy !req
185. I'll raise 500.
Copy !req
186. Too rich for my blood.
Copy !req
187. I'm calling you, George.
Copy !req
188. Looks like it's my night, boys.
Copy !req
189. Harry, maybe we ought to
get out of the game.
Copy !req
190. - What for?
- No reason.
Copy !req
191. You lost most of the money I put in,
Copy !req
192. George has got all the cards,
and you're playing lousy.
Copy !req
193. Everything's fine.
I'm toying with him.
Copy !req
194. I'm giving him
a false sense of security.
Copy !req
195. You're giving him
a genuine sense of security.
Copy !req
196. Fellas, let's play cards.
Copy !req
197. Straight to the jack.
Copy !req
198. Damn.
Copy !req
199. - What the hell happened?
- I lost.
Copy !req
200. No kidding.
You lost everything I put in.
Copy !req
201. Why didn't you cheat?
That was the whole point.
Copy !req
202. I ran every gaff I know
and he beat me.
Copy !req
203. I don't know what to say to you
except I'm sorry.
Copy !req
204. I'm going to wash up.
Copy !req
205. Ladies and gentlemen,
it's been a pleasure.
Copy !req
206. Sam, could I ask you a question?
Does four of a kind beat a straight?
Copy !req
207. Of course.
Copy !req
208. Then why did Harry throw in
these four threes?
Copy !req
209. - Look what time it's getting to be.
- George, hang on a second.
Copy !req
210. - What's going on here?
- I'm just going home.
Copy !req
211. Maybe not.
Copy !req
212. You and Harry concocted this
whole deal this afternoon, right?
Copy !req
213. Are you gonna go outside
and split the winnings?
Copy !req
214. Of course not.
Copy !req
215. Then you wouldn't mind
if we just take our money back.
Copy !req
216. Try anything and I'll tell the police
about this poker game.
Copy !req
217. You could lose your liquor licence.
Copy !req
218. You've done this before.
Copy !req
219. You made a fool out of me,
and you can keep my money.
Copy !req
220. I just want my friends to get
their money back, every penny.
Copy !req
221. You understand?
Copy !req
222. I'm not giving you
any of my money back, Coach.
Copy !req
223. - What if we cut up Harry's share?
- That's not such a bad idea.
Copy !req
224. You could play him again, beat him,
and give us our money back.
Copy !req
225. I never did like the guy.
Copy !req
226. - I'll challenge him to another game.
- You think you can beat him?
Copy !req
227. Of course I can.
Copy !req
228. I can have three queens
in my hand at any time.
Copy !req
229. All I need to know is
when he can't beat that.
Copy !req
230. You mean like a sign?
Copy !req
231. Please let me give the sign.
All this trouble's on account of me.
Copy !req
232. Please let me give the sign.
Copy !req
233. I don't know. It's tricky, isn't it?
Copy !req
234. He is the last person Harry would
figure being in on anything clever.
Copy !req
235. Just don't screw it up.
Come here, Coach.
Copy !req
236. Give your sign the first time
Harry can't beat three queens.
Copy !req
237. - What's the sign?
- Let me see.
Copy !req
238. I'll rub my nose like this.
It's the old bunt sign.
Copy !req
239. Got it.
Copy !req
240. OK, good night, everybody.
Copy !req
241. - George, you need a ride downtown?
- They're onto us, Harry.
Copy !req
242. - Onto what?
- They figured out our little prank.
Copy !req
243. Come on, Sam. Times are hard.
A guy's gotta do what he can.
Copy !req
244. Harry, I was never
much of a team player,
Copy !req
245. especially with Boston small-timers.
Copy !req
246. Why don't you and me play a little
one-on-one for the whole jackpot.
Copy !req
247. You know, Mole, I was never
too impressed by Arizona hustlers,
Copy !req
248. except they got good sinuses.
Copy !req
249. You're on.
Copy !req
250. - Mind if I deal?
- No.
Copy !req
251. - What's the game?
- Five-card draw, no limit.
Copy !req
252. - Here's your half.
- Fine.
Copy !req
253. - Ante's a yard.
- What?
Copy !req
254. $100. Pay attention.
Copy !req
255. I'll bet two.
Copy !req
256. It's covered. What do you need?
Copy !req
257. One.
Copy !req
258. Dealer takes one.
Copy !req
259. George, did you see that?
Copy !req
260. Yes, I did, Coach.
Copy !req
261. I scratched my nose
because it was itchy.
Copy !req
262. - Right. I saw you do that.
- It was really itchy, George.
Copy !req
263. - That's why you scratched it.
- Exactly.
Copy !req
264. Stimulating conversation.
We playing cards or what?
Copy !req
265. - It's George's bet.
- Harry, let's stop fooling around.
Copy !req
266. I'm going into my private stash.
Copy !req
267. Ten grand.
Copy !req
268. I like those socks.
Copy !req
269. Covered.
Copy !req
270. Three little ladies.
Copy !req
271. - Four threes?
- That can't be.
Copy !req
272. Seeing is believing, Mole.
Copy !req
273. - Why did you make the bet?
- Because you scratched your nose.
Copy !req
274. But I told you
why I scratched my nose.
Copy !req
275. That does it. I never wanna see you
come through that door again.
Copy !req
276. Don't worry, Malone, you won't.
Copy !req
277. You caused me to lose a fortune,
you old fool.
Copy !req
278. You're a stupid, blundering moron
who deserves to lose his money.
Copy !req
279. What a night.
Copy !req
280. I don't believe
the whole thing happened.
Copy !req
281. I feel so used.
Copy !req
282. What are you doing?
Copy !req
283. Sammy, I think he's snapped.
Copy !req
284. He's laughing.
Copy !req
285. - What are you laughing at?
- That.
Copy !req
286. One born every minute.
Copy !req
287. We did it, Harry.
Copy !req
288. There's your money.
Who wants to play double or nothing?
Copy !req
289. You had George conned that
you two were working together
Copy !req
290. while it was you and Coach?
Copy !req
291. - You're not even close.
- Yeah, he is.
Copy !req
292. That's it exactly.
Copy !req
293. Come on, everybody, coffee's on me.
Copy !req
294. So only you and Coach
knew about this?
Copy !req
295. Why didn't you let us in on it?
Copy !req
296. I didn't think you were
bright enough to pull it off.
Copy !req
297. I still don't like you.
Copy !req
298. You feeling lucky tonight?
Copy !req
299. What you got in mind?
Copy !req
300. A game of chance,
simple cut of the cards.
Copy !req
301. What are the stakes?
Copy !req
302. if I win,
I get to go to bed with you.
Copy !req
303. - What if I win?
- You get to go to bed with me.
Copy !req
304. Forget it.
Copy !req
305. I understand. You'd rather earn it.
Copy !req
