232. Yeah.
Copy !req
233. I can't do it no more.
Copy !req
234. Can't do what?
Copy !req
235. It's wrong, ace.
It's cheating.
Copy !req
236. Cheating's wrong.
Copy !req
237. Jimbo, you're right.
Copy !req
238. You mean it?
Copy !req
239. We're going to quit?
Copy !req
240. Sure, jimbo.
We're going to quit.
Copy !req
241. Ace, you promise?
Copy !req

Copy !req
248. and tomorrow

Copy !req
249. Kitty, you and me,
we're going out,
Copy !req
250. and we're going to
tear the town apart!
Copy !req
251. Ace, let's go
home right now.
Copy !req
252. Home? What's
the matter with you?
Copy !req
253. This is
my big chance.
Copy !req
254. But I don't
want to take it.
Copy !req
255. You've been very lucky.
Copy !req
256. Think of all
the money you've won-
Copy !req
257. enough to last you
for the rest of your life.
Copy !req
258. Can't you leave well
enough alone, honey?
Copy !req
259. Well, well enough isn't good enough for me.
Copy !req
260. Don't you understand?
Copy !req
261. By tomorrow, I'll
have enough dough
Copy !req
262. to own this state.
You understand that?
Copy !req
263. The whole state.
Copy !req
264. Aceville, u.s.a.
Copy !req
265. Ace, you're sick.
Copy !req
266. Honey, I've never been
healthier in my life.

Copy !req
274. What's the matter with her?
Copy !req
275. You've been ignoring her all night.
Copy !req
276. Ain't very polite, ace.
Copy !req
277. Well, I've been busy.
Copy !req
278. A man should never be that busy.
Copy !req
279. Why don't you go after her?
Copy !req
280. Kitty's worth more
than all the money in the world,
Copy !req
281. isn't she?
Copy !req
282. Yeah. Yeah, she is.
Copy !req
283. Well, then go after her.
Copy !req
284. Kitty?
Copy !req
285. Kitty, will you be reasonable? Will you?
Copy !req
286. This is my big chance.
Copy !req
287. Are you going
to gamble tomorrow?
Copy !req
288. Yes, but...

Copy !req
436. We're playing a little penny ante game,
Copy !req
437. but stick around. It
won't take much longer.
Copy !req
438. Ace, there's something I...
Copy !req
439. now, look, this is getting
to be a drag.
Copy !req
440. What do you say
Copy !req
441. we separate the men
from the boys, huh?
Copy !req
442. So what do you say we...
we shoot the works?
Copy !req
443. Jimbo?
Copy !req
444. What's the matter,
nolan?
Copy !req
445. You're supposed to
be a big operator.
Copy !req

larsen.
Copy !req
448. Go ahead. Shoot

Copy !req
457. Ace, I...
Copy !req
458. you got it?
Copy !req
459. 11... and this is it.
Copy !req

Copy !req
462. Ace, listen. I...
Copy !req
463. 11, 11, 11!
Copy !req
464. And there it is!
Copy !req
465. Tough luck,
trouper.
Copy !req
466. Huh?
Copy !req
467. You got
nerve, pal.
Copy !req
468. I like that.
Copy !req
469. Next time
you want
Copy !req
470. to play a little
game, trouper,
Copy !req
471. give us a call.
Copy !req
472. Ace, uh...
look, I'm sorry,
Copy !req
473. but I was
trying to tell you.
Copy !req
474. I... something happened.
Copy !req
475. I lost the power.
Copy !req
476. I guess a fuse
blew out.
Copy !req
477. You're not mad at
me, are you, ace?
Copy !req
478. I mean, I
couldn't help it.
Copy !req
479. You mean we're
not going to lake mead?
Copy !req
480. Well, he...

want to stop them?
Copy !req

you talking...?
Copy !req
485. Who needs that hunk
of junk anyway?
Copy !req
486. That's strictly
for suckers.
Copy !req
487. Come on. Out, out,
out, out, out.
Copy !req
488. Go on, you
one-armed bandit.
Copy !req
489. Go rob somebody else
for a change.
Copy !req
490. Um... kitty... kitty,
look, I was thinking,
Copy !req
491. you know, now that that
thing's out of here,
Copy !req
492. I bet you
that jimbo and me
Copy !req
493. could, you know,
we could
Copy !req
494. pull enough money
each month to...
Copy !req
495. after what we,
you know...
Copy !req
496. will you marry me?
Copy !req
497. Why don't
you be quiet!
Copy !req
498. I'm proposing,
for crying out loud.
Copy !req
499. Jimbo, do you
have a quarter?
Copy !req
500. Call it.
Copy !req
501. Heads?
Copy !req
502. All right, mr. Larsen,
iwillmarry you.
Copy !req
503. Oh, baby.
Copy !req
504. Some people possess talent,
others are possessedbyit.
Copy !req
505. When that happens,
the talent becomes a curse.
Copy !req
506. Jimbo cobb knew
right from the beginning.
Copy !req
507. But, before ace larsen
learned that simple truth,
Copy !req
508. he had to take a short trip
through the twilight zone.
Copy !req
509. Rod serling,
creator of the twilight zone,
Copy !req
510. will tell you
about next week's story
Copy !req

and mr. William idelson
Copy !req
514. deliver a story on your doorstep
Copy !req
515. with the title
"long distance call."
Copy !req
516. It's uniquely
a flesh-and-fantasy tale
Copy !req
517. involving a small boy,
a toy telephone
Copy !req
518. and the incredible faith
of a child.
Copy !req
519. I hope you're around next week
at the usual time-
Copy !req
520. which, depending
