40. Flavor. This is The kind of flavor I can do without, Flora.

41. You know perfectly well How I feel about gambling.

42. Oh, this is Different, though.

43. It is neither Different nor moral. Gambling is gambling.

44. However, this is your Vacation, Flora. You won it.

45. But in all good conscience, I must repeat to you what I've been saying all along,

46. It's a miserable, Terrible, waste of time.

47. But, of course, It's what you wanted.

48. Oh, franklin, try To enjoy it, won't you?

49. I won! I won The jackpot! I won!

50. I won. Look, I won. I won, I won, I won.

51. Look, I won. I won.

52. Isn't that marvelous?

53. Just what do you Think you're doing?

54. Well, it's-it's only A nickel machine.

55. Only a nickle machine? Why don't you just take Handfuls of nickles

56. And throw them out Into the street?

57. All right. We go To Las Vegas.

58. We waste three days And two nights.

59. We do it because that Is your silly idea of Enjoying yourself,

60. And because it's not Costing us anything.

61. But now you're spending Money. And not even Spending it, Flora.

62. You're-you're just Throwing it away!

63. Well, this is where I put my foot down.

64. It's quite obvious to me That you are not Mature enough—

65. Please. Franklin, please, Don't make a scene.

66. I won't play. I promise you.

67. Franklin? The nickel's Already in.

68. All right. Throw it away.

69. I'm not very Lucky, am I?

70. I'm going back To the room, Flora.

71. Here you are, old boy. Here, wait a minute.

72. Please!

73. Wait, you try it. I'm one hour and 30 minutes

74. On this miserable, Crummy, money-grabbing—

75. Please.

76. Hold it. Here. You play. It's yours. Go ahead, play it.

77. No, really, I'm not interested. I'm in a hurry.

78. All you have to do is Put it in there, see? And pull the thing.

79. All right, sweetie, I'm coming. That's the Little woman, you now.

80. Lots, lots of luck, And I'll see you Later, huh?

81. I'm coming, honey.

82. (man) Pay the lady Right here.

83. Pay the lady right here. Pay the lady right here.

84. Oh, Franklin, You are lucky!

85. It wasn't even My dollar. That—

86. That man gave it to me. He made me put it In the machine.

87. Well, now you'll See the difference

88. Between a normal, Mature thoughtful man

89. And these-these wild I diots around here.

90. We'll-we'll put this in our Room and we'll take it Home with us.

91. Of course, dear.

92. Yes, but not these Baboons around here. They'd throw it away.

93. They'd compulsively Put it back in The machine.

94. But not the Gibbs. The Gibbs know the Value of money.

95. Well, come, my dear. I-I want to shave Before dinner.

96. Franklin.

97. Did you say something?

107. Nothing, except That-that—

108. This is not The kind of money I like to keep, Flora.

109. This is-is tainted. This is highly immoral.

110. No good can come From money won like this.

111. I'm-I'm going Back in there

112. And feed it back into The machine, Flora, And get rid of it.

113. Oh, Franklin, Do you really Think that—

114. Of course.

115. If there's one thing I Know, Flora, it's morality.

116. And I will not have This tainted money Smelling up our pockets.

117. I'm going back in there And I'm-I'm just going To get rid of it.

118. So, you go back To sleep, Flora.

119. Franklin, it's Terribly late.

120. I know it's Late, Flora!

121. Look, you stay Right here, Flora.

122. And don't let anyone Else use this machine. I'll be right back.
