90. and he is in heaven.

91. - He is... - We didn't have Woodford.

92. So sorry about that, that is our top shelf.

93. - It's Bulleit bourbon. - All right.

94. - I'm not paying for his, though. - Excuse me?

95. I said his Woodford is on me and that's not a Woodford.

96. I'm just kidding, I'm kidding, lady.

97. I'm... I'm joking. Here, come on.

98. - Here you go. Thank you, keep the change. - Very cute.

133. - Why'd you buy in? - I like people.

134. Yeah?

147. But you're all over the map.

148. - I can't spot your tell. Yeah. - You want to know why?

149. - I don't care about winning. - Oh, that's bullshit.

150. - No... - No, that's...

151. I just like to play, I really do.

202. And I think you're gonna find this is a real winner.

203. Real winner.

204. Sorry about this, folks.

205. Well, even still, there's not much counter space.

206. I am on my way.

207. Ah, that's beautiful. Beautiful.

208. Do you want me to place a bet for you?

209. They're saying that Dynamic Rainbow has got 48-to-1 odds.

210. That's terrible.

211. That is what makes it fun, Gerry.

212. I'm laying 50 to win. What do you want to do?

213. 48-to-1? Geez, I don't know.

214. Don't stress, baby, it's just dogs.

215. Number 9. Nodding and...

216. You know what? Put me down for 200 to place.

230. Who do we got? Who do we got? Who do we got?

231. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

232. Dynamic Rainbow at the wire!

233. We won!

234. Of course we won. You're damn right, we won!

235. Oh, fuck, I'm an idiot.

236. - I'm an idiot. I bet to place! - Oh, easy, you know what you had?

237. - I should have listened to you. - You still won big, buddy...

238. Come on, we just won a whole bunch of money. Let's go... Let's go celebrate.

239. We'll have, uh, some drinks, we'll meet some ladies...

240. Oh, no, I love this place. We can get drinks here.

241. We can meet ladies here, I'm sure.

242. Gerry, come on, it don't get any better than this. Right?

243. - Let's go, let's go have some fun... - We just got here.

244. Okay, hold on. Tell you what, tell you what...

245. Next guy that comes out of the bathroom...

246. - If he's wearing glasses... - No, no, no!

247. - We stay, if he's wearing glasses. - No.

248. - It's just... It's just... - You're on.

249. Yes!

250. I'll tell you what, Gerry, never bet on a dog

251. named after a disabled president.

252. - I thought it was Teddy. - Rollin' Roosevelt?

253. - It's a good name. - No, no, it was not a good name.

254. Next time you quit when I tell you it's time.

255. So, there was this guy back in Kansas City, Archie Hannahan.

256. - Never knew when to quit. - Oh, yeah, yeah.

257. I think I know where this story's going.

258. - You don't have to tell me. - Hey, listen. Listen, Gerry.

259. - Okay. - Archie, he owed

260. every poker player in town at least a three... At least 300 bucks minimum.

261. And it got to a point where he was asking his little nephews

262. for change out of their piggy banks.

263. I see him in Harrah's poker room one day and I walk over to say hello.

264. I see that he's got a handsome pile of chips in front of him, over 5 grand.

265. Archie starts bragging that he started the night with just 60 bucks,

266. 60 bucks that he borrowed from some new chump, by the way.

267. So, I pull him aside, and I say, "Hey, listen, cash out now."

268. He's got enough there to pay back everybody he owes

269. and still get a slab at Oklahoma Joe's. Right?

270. "You're right, you're right," he says.

271. "I'll stop as soon as the blind comes around."

272. - Did he talk like that? - Like a ball of helium, yeah.

273. So, I feel good about myself, right?

274. I'm smiling, I go back to my table.

275. I'm thinking I've done a good deed here.

276. The next thing I hear

277. is Archie's high-pitched screaming voice saying,

278. "I'm all in!"

279. And he lost everything, right?

280. - Of course he lost everything. - Yeah.

281. But you know what he says to me?

282. He says, "Don't worry, it was just 60 bucks."

283. Some guys are born to lose.

284. - You play? Pool. You play? - Hmm?

285. Oh, yeah. Not in a long time.

286. Hey, hey, hey!

287. 20 bucks on my buddy here.

288. - What are you... What are you doing? - All right?

289. I'm gonna watch you play this big winner right here.

290. - You said you played. - Yeah, but not in a long time.

291. - So, you'll lose. - No, you'll lose.

292. No, I'm not gonna lose. I'm spending 20 bucks to watch you make a fool of yourself.

293. That's not losing, that's entertainment.

294. - We're gonna play or what? - We're gonna play.

295. And we're gonna... We're gonna play, huh?

296. You want to be entertained?

297. - 50 bucks. Let's play for 50 bucks. - Hey, hey, hey, hey.

298. Gerry! Play nice now.

299. Okay, 50 bucks. You like that?

300. 500.

301. 1, 000. Let's play for $1, 000.

302. That's enough. You fellows don't belong here, do you?

303. - I'm... I'm really... I'm not very good. - Okay...

304. - I'm really... - Hey, hey, hey, no...

305. Easy, easy, we're good. We're good. We're good.

306. We don't want to upset your beautiful highness, thank you very much.

307. And what're you doing tomorrow?

308. What are you doing tomorrow?

309. Well, I think it's Machu Picchu time for me.

310. Time for me to hit the road.

311. - Oh, okay. - Yeah.

312. Okay, well, it was great to meet you.

313. You too, Gerry.

314. - Hey, do you want a ride someplace? - No.

315. No, I'm just gonna... I'm gonna steal a bike.

316. Hey. Hey.

317. Man, you, uh, you got a light?

318. Uh, no.

319. - What's that for? - Give me the money.

320. - I don't have any money. - Bullshit.

321. $1, 000 bets? Yeah, I heard you back there.

322. - No, no, no, fuck... - Just give it to me.

323. Hey, I told you, I don't have any money.

324. Okay, I lost it on Rollin' Roosevelt.

325. - Don't make me cut you. - Take it easy, buddy.

326. Okay? Take it easy. I'm gonna show you.

327. - Hurry up! - Here, here, here.

328. See, I don't have any money.

329. Do I look stupid?

330. Ahh!

331. Damn it!

332. - Damn... - You all right, man?

333. - Shit. - Hey, man, you want us to call somebody?

334. Hey, you forgot your knife, asshole!

335. Hey-hey!

336. Gerry, hey!

337. It's so great to see you, man. So, how long's it been?

338. Oh, I don't know. A couple of months.

339. Too long. It's been too long.

340. Yeah, I know.

341. - Have you been avoiding me, Gerry? - No, no, I...

342. Can I bring you something to drink?

343. Um, yeah, I'll take a coffee.

344. Oh, forgive me, but I got here early.

345. I ordered a salad, order whatever you want.

346. - It's on me. - No, it's fine.

347. I know it's fine, but I insist.

348. Okay. Sure. I'll take a burger, medium-rare. And fries.

349. All right.

350. - Hey, and how are you? - You know, same old grind.

351. I would like to retire soon,

352. but it doesn't seem to be heading that direction.

353. Uh...

354. - How's the real estate? - Oh. Slow and low.

355. - I'm sure it'll pick up soon. - Yeah. Eventually.

356. Don't make me ask, Gerry.

357. Um, so,

358. last night I had $800.

359. I go out into the parking lot,

360. fucking guy robs me. Meth head.

361. With a knife, he stabs me.

362. - In the gut. See. - Oh!

363. Oh, God, Gerry, put that down.

364. You need to have somebody look at that.

365. - Are you okay? - Yeah, yeah. I'm fine.

366. - I can't imagine. - It was pretty scary.

367. - At least you're okay. - Yeah, it's just a scratch.

368. It could have been a lot worse, you know?

369. Hmm.

370. I got to take it.

371. Hey! Oh, Jesus, Lord. No.

372. I'm not bringing it to the school.

373. I'm in a meeting, ask your dad.

374. I don't know where he is.

375. You know, it's not my fault that you forgot it.

376. Teenagers! God.

377. Hey... Shh!

378. Okay, I'm... I will, I'm gonna bring it.

379. This is the last time though. I'll be there in half an hour.

380. Do not keep me waiting out front.

381. You're so lucky you don't have to deal with that shit.

382. - Gerry, I tell you. - Oh, fuck...

383. So, what do you have for me today?

384. This is about $80. I had the rest, but...

385. - Meth head. - Fucking meth head.

386. - Bad beat. - The worst.

387. - Things will look up. - They always do.

388. Well, not always.

389. Couple of weeks. Couple of weeks, don't worry about it.

390. - Tomorrow. - Mmm, no.

391. Tomorrow, Gerry.

392. I'll send Tim to drop you a visit.

393. Oh, no, no. There's no need to bring him into all of this.

394. Couple of days I'll have a commission, and, uh...

395. - Get it together. - I had the money.

396. - Yeah. - This time it wasn't my fault.

397. I understand.

398. - Take care. - Yeah.

399. - Gerry. - Hey!

400. Curtis, I know you're probably halfway to New Orleans...

401. Crazy day. Gerry, I ended up in Chicago.

402. I won a ticket to the Bulls game shooting dice this morning. So, I went.

403. But now I'm back in your neck of the woods.

404. You are? Where?

405. I'm at the same, uh, same place. Same place we met the other night.

406. What place? No.

407. Gerry.

408. Gerry, would you be so kind as to order me a Woodford?

409. A Woodford! Two Woodfords!

410. Have you seen a NBA game up close?

411. - Those guys are tall! - Hey, man.

412. - It's a sign. - What is?

413. It's a sign!

414. You walking in the door while I'm calling you on the telephone

415. - is a sign, I'm telling you, it's a sign. - All right.

416. Okay, look what happened to me after you left last night.

417. - What is that? - In the parking lot.

418. - Some guy cut me. - Are you okay?

419. It's not serious. What I'm getting at...

420. Did you know the guy?

421. Yeah, yeah, I know him, we play some softball on the weekends.

422. - That's a fair question. - No! It's not a...

423. - He was mugging me. - That's gonna hurt like hell.

424. It stings a little bit, but what I'm getting at is...

425. Shit.

426. Hey, hey, Curtis, what I'm trying to get at here,

427. is that good things happen when you're around,

428. and when you're not, when you leave...

429. - You get stabbed. - Yeah!

430. I've been thinking, you know? That home game, uh, New Orleans,

431. - disassociated guy... - Tony Roundtree?

432. Boom! I want in.

433. That game has a $25, 000 buy-in, Gerry.

434. - Which is a lot. That's a lot. - Yeah.

435. - But I got a plan. - I'm listening.

436. - We go down the Mississippi. - Okay.

437. Yeah. We go down the Mississippi like Huck-fucking-Finn

438. - and Jim... - On a raft.

439. - No, we take my car. Okay. - Okay.

440. But we hit up all the action, everything along the way.

441. - I know some weekly home games. - Yeah.

442. - Casinos. - Sure.

443. Then we got the gambling towns. We got, uh...

444. Memphis, Tennessee

445. We gotta win that race

446. Vicksburg

447. - Tunica. - Absolutely, Tunica!

448. Now, I'm gonna be straight with you.

449. I'm in a little bit of a hole right now.

450. I'm working my way back out,

451. so all I need you to do is stake me 500 out the gate...

452. Hey, look, it's not... It's not... It's an investment. Okay?

453. Because I'll play, you'll be my lucky charm.

454. - We split the winnings even-steven. - What about your job?

455. - They won't miss me. - Can I ask you a personal question?

456. Yeah.

457. How much do you owe?

458. - A lot. - To who?

459. Everyone.

460. I'll stake you $2, 000. Your car, my cash.

461. Hot damn. That's what I'm talking about.

462. - That's what I'm talking about. - Come here!

463. Easy, easy with that.

464. Wish me luck.

465. - Let's go. - Go, go, go, go.

466. Is everything okay?

467. Tony Roundtree, he once had a pet tiger.

468. He won it playing baccarat with an Arab prince.

469. Cleans the guy out, the prince wants to keep playing,

470. so he puts his tiger on the table,

471. - not literally, but... Yeah. - Yeah.

472. You know, joke's on Tony, though.

473. Didn't know he'd be hemorrhaging money on this thing.

474. He's got to register it with the federal government,

475. get a special permit.

476. First time I met him was on a bar car

477. of an Amtrak train from Denver to Albuquerque.

478. I remember he was wearing this blue velvet smoking jacket

479. and drank from a copper flask.

480. And the tiger?

481. He's tranquilized and checked with the other cargo.

482. He checked a tiger on an Amtrak train?

483. Apparently they have a policy.

484. Hey, hey, hey.

485. You want to know what it costs to check a 600-pound animal?

486. Yeah! Yeah!

487. Hold on a second, what're we listening to here?

488. Oh, this? 200 Poker Tells by Joe Navarro.

489. - Are you serious? - Yeah.

490. How often do you listen to this, Gerry?

491. Whenever I drive.

492. Are you gonna make me listen to this the whole way to New Orleans?

493. We don't have to listen to it.

494. Hey, there, Gerry. Substituted you at the office today.

495. Hope everything's okay. Um...

496. Anyway, it's all a bit awkward,

497. but I feel I need to mention that some of the petty cash seems to have gone missing.

498. Not that I'm accusing you of taking it,

499. but Janice said when she left last night

500. there was over 200 in the box.

501. Also, a friend of yours named Tim stopped by.

502. Said he's looking for you.

503. Fear. These soft areas will quiver or twitch,

504. - revealing the person's...

505. negative emotional state.

506. Who's that?

507. Nobody.

508. You bring any snacks?

509. Yeah, I have some jerky back there. Can you grab some for me, too?

510. Yeah.

511. Nice.

512. - You brought cigars. - Oh, no, it's not...

513. Oh, what's all this?

514. An emergency fund. Just in case.

515. - In case of what? - Emergency.

516. You got watches, Gerry. You collect baseball cards?

517. Is that a wedding ring?

518. - Yeah. - Get outta here. You were married?

519. Hard to believe, huh?

520. I didn't mean it like that. I just... What happened?

521. She left.

522. Would you want any of that jerky back there?

523. Yeah. Yeah. Here it is.

524. Jackpot.

525. Yes, sir. Hot chocolate. That's what I'm talking about.

526. - Well, hello. - Hi.

527. - Can I help you with something? - I'm Curtis.

528. - Simone. - That's a nice name.

529. - Thanks. - I'm, uh, I'm looking for...

530. - For a woman. - Sure, what sort of woman you looking for?

531. Oh, she's about that tall. She's got cinnamon hair,

532. soft pale skin, devastating blue eyes...

533. Funny, but I think I've seen just the woman you're looking for.

534. - You have? - Yeah.

535. I've been tracking her scent for miles around here.

536. They say that working-class hound dogs have the best sense of smell.

537. Woof, woof.

538. Woof, woof, woof, woof...

539. Well, don't just stand there barking, little doggy.

540. Come inside and get yourself a treat.

541. - This is Gerry. Gerry, Simone. - Hey.

542. All right, these were the best that I could do.

543. - Did I ever tell you how amazing you are? - Too often to feel sincere.

544. - Here, Gerry. - Thank you.

545. Hey, don't be shy, Gerry, we're all friends.

546. So, you guys play poker?

547. No, we just work here, honey.

548. What is it you do?

549. We get paid for our companionship.

550. Oh, yeah, yeah.

551. Hi.

552. What happened there?

553. - It's nothing serious. - Doesn't look like nothing.

554. Gerry saved my life in a knife fight.

555. - I'm Gerry. That's not true. - Vanessa.

556. Hey, Curtis, how was Peru?

557. - Uh, not yet, sweetie. But soon, I promise. - Mmm-hmm.

558. You can change in there if you want to.

559. Yeah, okay. Fine.

560. Looking good, Mr. Vonn.

561. Thank you. Thank you very much.

562. I'll tell you something, Gerry. First thing we do when we get to New Orleans,

563. we buy new suits.

564. Oh, I don't really wear suits.

565. Yeah, you're gonna have to. We are going to Tony Roundtree's.

566. We can't go dressed like this.

567. Well, in that case, I've always wanted a white suit,

568. you know, like Glen Campbell.

569. Mental note, next trip, open sea.

570. Hey, what's up with Peru?

571. I heard you talking to Vanessa. What's that about?

572. It's kind of a joke, you know?

573. Like when I'm done with a person or a place

574. and it's time to move on, I'll say, "It's Machu Picchu time."

575. - Machu Picchu? - Yeah.

576. You might say it's kind of like the end of my rainbow, you know?

577. Mysterious and exotic, it's like a place you just get lost,

578. you never come back from.

579. Plus it's fun to say...

580. Lot of fun to say. Machu Picchu. Try it.

581. - Machu Picchu. - Machu Picchu.

582. - Machu Picchu. - Machu Picchu.

583. Machu Picchu.

584. I'll be at the bar if you need me.

585. Excuse me.

586. Excuse me. Hey!

587. Tell me something that I don't know about St. Louis.

588. I've only been here a few months.

589. That's no excuse. I was only in Iowa for a few days.

590. I can tell you that Marion Robert Morrison

591. was born in Winterset, Iowa, 1907.

592. Am I supposed to know who that is?

593. You might know him by his stage name, John Wayne.

594. John Wayne.

595. I can also tell you that Iowa is the only state in the country

596. that begins with two vowels.

597. And that the National Balloon Museum in Indianola

598. chronicles over 200 years of guess what?

599. Right, ballooning history.

600. Okay. Okay, fine. So, I don't know if this is true...

601. I don't care. Lay it on me.

602. You know when you're in a hotel room

603. and they put the little chocolate on the pillows?

604. - Mmm-hmm. - That was started in St. Louis by...

605. You have nice legs.

606. - You're supposed to guess who. - Okay, Ben Franklin.

607. Close. Cary Grant.

608. Really?

609. He was staying at the Mayfair and wooing a certain lady friend

610. by putting chocolate on her pillow.

611. Who told you that?

612. - A friend. - Who?

613. I don't remember.

614. - Take a guess. - What are you getting at?

615. Were you in a hotel room when this friend told you

616. - about Cary Grant's chocolate... - I don't remember.

617. - ... seduction technique? - So what if I was?

618. Six months is a long time, Curtis.

619. Six months? It hasn't been six months.

620. Six months. September, October, November, December,

621. January, February, March. Seven months.

622. Seven months.

623. Tell me something else about St. Louis.

624. Heads up.

625. 500 is the bet.

626. Raise to 1, 000.

627. Call.

628. Heads up.

630. 1, 000 is the bet.

631. Call.

632. Heads up.

633. Check.

634. He's all in.

635. How do you get a sweet little old lady to yell, "Go fuck yourself!"

636. You get another sweet little old lady to yell, "Bingo!"

637. Bingo.

638. - Yeah, I'll call. - Call.

639. Take it. You got me.

640. It's trust. Trust her.

641. Is that a problem? I love that story.

642. Back in England there was, you know, earls.

643. - Yeah. - Okay? There was an Earl of Sandwich.

644. He was a gambler.

645. He was standing at the tables all day long.

646. Oh, I'm a bit hungry. What am I gonna do?

647. Uh, I know. Hey, you know, buddy,

648. go put some meat between a couple of pieces of bread.

649. The Earl of Sandwich is...

650. - There it is. - ... the best name I've ever heard.

651. What are you talking about?

652. - He came up with... - You boys just gonna sit there all night?

653. He was a great gambler.

654. Come dance.

655. C-A, C-A...

656. I didn't know that...

657. - First word. - First word.

658. Hey, I want to smoke a cigarette.

659. He just won $7, 000. Give the man something.

660. Where did you find him?

661. Poker table, tournament with a $60 buy-in.

662. He had a collared shirt and a missing button.

663. And you ordered him a Woodford.

664. What's he need the money for?

665. He believes that it will set him free.

666. He's a good guy.

667. That's what you said about George.

668. You mean Jorge?

669. What do you have against Jorge?

670. His name was George. And he was a liar and a thief.

671. He was not.

672. Okay.

673. What's in this for you?

674. The journey is the destination, sweetheart.

675. It's not an answer. It's a bumper sticker.

676. There's nothing in it for me. There's nothing.

677. - Do you know any magic tricks? - No.

678. Do you?

679. Yeah?

680. - Do you want to see? - Yeah.

681. Yeah.

682. Okay, but I'm just learning. So, you can't make fun of me.

683. I won't make fun of you.

684. Wait.

685. So, what next?

686. - What? - After New Orleans. What then?

687. - You should come with us. - Shut up.

688. It would be so much fun.

689. - I have school. - Play hooky.

690. Curtis, I can't just, you know,

691. - like you, hit the road on a whim. - Didn't your mama

692. ever tell you that you can do anything you want?

693. - No, she did not. - Well, then I'm saying it for her.

694. Okay, I'll come with you.

695. Tell me what I need to pack for this little mystery tour.

696. - Whatever you want. - Should I bring a jacket? Will it be cold?

697. No.

698. What about a bikini? You know I love the beach.

699. - Definitely bring a bikini. - Should I bring my running shoes?

700. Will there be a gym where we're going?

701. - I'll find one. - Um, dresses...

702. Should I bring a dress for you? Will you help me pick some

703. to go with my high-heeled shoes?

704. And what about condoms?

705. Am I going to have to work on this journey? Are you gonna cover my expenses?

706. - Okay. - Mmm-hmm.

707. That's good. That's good.

708. What!

709. Wow!

710. So little. That's amazing.

711. Where did it come from?

712. I hid him earlier so that I could show you guys my trick tonight.

713. Magicians are not supposed to reveal their secrets. I'm just sayin', you know.

714. I'm still learning, I guess.

715. Hey.

716. Hey, little buddy. Oh, look at you. You're so small.

717. Hello, hello, you're okay.

718. You're okay. Yeah?

719. You're okay.

720. Look at this little thing.

721. - Your turn. - I don't know any tricks.

722. Come on, I showed you mine, you have to show me yours.

723. No, it can be anything.

724. Anything?

725. Okay. You got it? Okay.

726. Okay.

727. Is that Vanessa?

728. No, it must be your friend.

729. I didn't know Gerry played.

730. He's pretty good.

731. I liked that.

732. You married?

733. Girlfriend?

734. I have a little girl.

735. That's cute. Do you have a picture?

736. She lives with her mom in Little Rock.

737. I have problems with money.

738. Did I say anything about money?

739. I didn't mean it like that.

740. No, it was...

741. It was something I wanted to tell you so I don't...

742. I'm gonna do something with my life.

743. I may not have that figured out yet, but I'm gonna do something.

744. It's something I wanted to tell you.

745. So I did.

746. Hey. Hey, JP? Can you put me down for a five tonight on Hawaii over Gonzaga?

747. That's bullshit. No, bullshit.

748. I have it. I have the money.

749. I literally have the money right here in my hand.

750. I'm looking at it.

751. Eh, JP?

752. JP? Fuckin' asshole.

753. Number 118. Sitting lower and lower.

754. Players who slip lower and lower in their chairs

755. during a hand are progressively revealing their weakness.

756. - Most players are not aware how low... - That's yours, you know.

757. - ... or how high they're sitting. - Huh?

758. You're a sloucher. It's your tell.

759. - You slouch when you're worried. - Get outta here.

760. Hey, you're doing it right now.

761. Seemed like Vanessa was really into you.

762. Yeah, we had a good time.

763. - Did you sleep with her? - No.

764. - What? - Why not?

765. I don't know. It just didn't... Didn't feel like there was that, you know...

766. I thought you knew how to read people. She was sending you signals all night.

767. Well, maybe I didn't feel like it.

768. - You like women? - Yeah.

769. - It's okay if you don't. - Oh...

770. What about you and Simone? What's going on there?

771. - We had sex last night. - No, that's not what I'm asking.

772. Why are you changing the subject?

773. Do you know your voice goes up an octave when you talk to her?

774. You get all soft, dreamy. You must really love that girl.

775. You're avoiding the subject, Gerry...

776. What are you doing?

777. - What are you afraid of? - I'm not afraid of anything.

778. What, what are you talking about "afraid of"?

779. - Your ex-wife. - Mmm-hmm.

780. Yeah, that's what this is about.

781. She left you. You want her back. I should have known it was about a woman.

782. - It's not about a woman. - Yeah, it is.

783. You know how I know?

784. - You're slouching. - You don't know anything.

785. I've been on the road a long time. I know what makes people tick.

786. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're a regular Oprah,

787. - Dr. Phil, right? - I'm saying that,

788. look, my experience has given me certain insights into the human condition.

789. Your experience? How old are you?

790. - Forget it. - No, come on.

791. No, forget it.

792. - How old are you? - All right, bullshit.

793. I know what you're doing, all right?

794. Age is not the only indication of life experience.

795. See, I'm 44.

796. - I'm 39. - Bullshit!

797. But I bet you for 100 bucks

798. - I can guess your age. - You are on.

799. Okay, take your glasses off, just for a second.

800. Let me have a look. Let me have a look. Oh, that's 35.

801. You're 35.

802. I am 35.

803. - How'd you know that? - I told you, I'm good with ages.

804. My ass, you're good with ages. How did you know that?

805. I read your driver's license.

806. - When? - This morning.

807. - You were in the bathroom. - Why?

808. - I wanted to know if you are... - Why did you do that?

809. - ... who you say you are. - And what did you learn?

810. You're Curtis Vonn, 35, with an expired North Dakota driver's license.

811. Holy shit. Is that it?

812. Is there anything else you want to share?

813. No.

814. Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf,

815. B.B. King, Otis Redding,

816. Isaac Hayes...

817. There's even some famous white folk from Memphis you might have heard of.

818. Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins,

819. - Johnny Cash... - All those people from Memphis?

820. And don't forget about Justin Timberlake.

821. - Very impressive, my friend. - Yeah.

822. Hey, how we doing?

823. I'm gonna get a burger. You want one?

824. No, no, no. I gotta get ready. I gotta go to this game.

825. All right.

826. Why you didn't bet on Midnight Runner?

827. Why?

828. - What happened? - How long were you married?

829. - Eight years. - That's a long time.

830. - It's supposed to be longer. - I like women too much to marry one.

831. Are you married, pops?

832. Been married six times, but not at present.

833. - Well, here's to lucky number seven. - Thank you.

834. If you want it.

835. Miss the married life?

836. Do I miss it? Well, let me put it like this,

837. I just know it's better to not be alone.

838. Amen.

839. Oh, shit.

840. - Well, Hawaii beat Gonzaga. Big-time upset.

841. - Well, I heard... - Rainbow Warriors.

842. I raise 600.

843. Raise 600.

844. Heads up.

845. 1, 500.

846. Call.

847. I'll check.

848. All in.

849. She's all in at 10,600.

850. I'll call.

851. She's got you covered.

852. Heads up.

853. Wow. That's a night.

854. - Man! - Wow.

855. I did not deserve that.

856. Sorry, Gerry.

857. Oh, that's a tough break, Gerry.

858. I'm gonna get a smoke.

859. Let's go again.

860. Shit.

861. - Let's go again. - Gerry, call it a night.

862. Oh, come on. Just give me $1, 000.

863. Tell her I'm good for $1, 000.

864. - It's a bad beat, Gerry. - Throw in the towel, man.

865. $100, 000, right?

866. The deal was that Slim had to get C-cup breast implants

867. and leave them in for exactly one year.

868. Not only did he win the bet, and he was paid, I can vouch for that.

869. - Woman titties for a whole year? - But he met a woman,

870. a straight woman that loved his fake tits so much,

871. - that she married him. - Get the fuck out of here.

872. He's still got 'em, perky as ever.

873. Right? Gerry?

874. - Hey, how did it go? - Good.

875. That's a... Son of a bitch, that's great.

876. Come sit down with us, here, have a... Have a drink.

877. Let's celebrate. Meet some people.

878. Actually...

879. Just take a moment of your time? I'd like just to have a word.

880. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll be right back, you beautiful losers.

881. I don't know what it means. I don't know what it means.

882. What, what means?

883. Okay.

884. This is gonna sound crazy.

885. I was all in on this monster pot.

886. Okay? I was down to the river, I was gone, I mean, I was wiped out.

887. And all I needed was a queen and...

888. A queen, the only thing that could save me,

889. and I made myself a promise and I know this sounds so stupid,

890. but I made myself a promise that if I got a queen,

891. I'd go and... I'd go to Little Rock.

892. I'd make things right,

893. you know, with my queen.

894. You know what I mean?

895. Your ex-wife.

896. - You were right. - Of course...

897. A woman. What did I tell you, huh? It's always a woman.

898. I don't know what to do.

899. I know what to do.

900. We go to Little Rock. That's what we do.

901. It's not on our way. It just seems crazy.

902. Am I crazy?

903. Oh, you're a fucking lunatic.

904. - But I love it. - You don't mind?

905. Gerry, I don't...

906. A beautiful woman right in there, asked me to go home with her tonight.

907. - And? - And I turned her down.

908. - You did? - Yep.

909. Why?

910. When you come to a fork in a road, you take it.

911. Let's go to Little Rock.

912. - Gerry. - Hey, Dorothy.

913. What are you doing here?

914. I was just driving through Little Rock. I thought I'd stop by.

915. Oh, you were just stopping through Little Rock.

916. Look, I don't have to stay. I just...

917. Thought it did be nice to see you. Even if it is just for a minute.

918. Come on in, I guess.

919. I was just making some tea.

920. - Do you want some? - Yeah, yeah. Sure. Absolutely.

921. Hey, darling. Did I wake you? I'm sorry.

922. No, it's okay. Where are you?

923. We're... We're on a little detour in Little Rock.

924. - Little Rock? - Yeah.

925. What happened to New Orleans?

926. No, I'm sitting in a car right now, outside Gerry's ex-wife's house,

927. and he just went in there to win her back.

928. And he got me thinking about you.

929. Me and St. Louis,

930. Kansas City, all kinds of places, really.

931. - Where is she? - School.

932. That's good.

933. Hmm. How are things with Gary?

934. We got married.

935. Oh, oh...

936. Congratulations.

937. Did you ever think it was funny that you traded me in for a Gary?

938. You know, Gerry, Gary...

939. Well, where is he?

940. - Working. - What does he do?

941. He's an electrician.

942. That's a good job.

943. Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

944. I... That... That...

945. I used to be in this photograph.

946. That's my hand. You cut me out of this picture.

947. I didn't want you on my wall, Gerry.

948. Well, okay, but you have to cut me out of my daughter's life

949. - so that she can't see me? - Is that a joke?

1020. Excuse us. I'm sorry. One second. Can I talk to you for a second?

1021. - Where's the money? - What money?

1022. We're gonna be fine.

1023. Gerry, your lips are telling me that we're gonna be fine,

1024. but you're slouching like a...

1025. Like a kid who just pissed his pants in the sandbox.

1026. Where are we at, huh?

1027. Ger?

1028. Ground zero.

1029. I tried to tell you before.

1030. - You tried to tell me? - Fucking cunt! Shit!

1034. I can win it back. I can get it back.

1035. I can get us all the way to 25.

1036. It isn't about the money, Gerry.

1037. Yeah, of course it's about the money. Come on, man.

1038. What do you think, this is a vacation for me?

1039. You're a piece of work, you know that?

1040. Hey, I did everything right.

1041. I played it right.

1042. I just...

1043. I just can't catch a break! I just can't win.

1044. This story doesn't have a happy ending, Gerry.

1045. I think you should go back home to Iowa.

1046. No, no.

1047. No, can't do that.

1048. I can't go back empty-handed. I can't do that.

1049. - You keep trying to lose. - Oh... Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1050. I'm trying... Yeah, I'm trying to fucking...

1051. Ah! Fuck!

1052. It was closed. I'm not trying to lose.

1053. I'm...

1054. What's up, faggots?

1055. What's up with these guys?

1056. Hey, got to go find some girls.

1057. Dude, what the fuck! Get off me, bro.

1058. What the hell's your problem, asshole?

1059. Where're you going, pussy?

1060. Oh, you want some?

1061. You want to go?

1062. Move, move, move, move.

1063. Where is she? Her cell went straight to voicemail.

1064. Just tell me.

1065. Is she with someone?

1066. Don't say that you don't know. I know that you know.

1067. I'll tell her that you called.

1068. No, and you know what? Forget that... Forget that I called, okay?

1069. - Curtis... - I'm... I'm serious.

1070. Vanessa, listen to me, don't tell her that I called, okay? Don't.

1071. - Okay. - Can you do that for me?

1072. Don't tell her, okay?

1073. Okay?

1074. - Okay. - Are you gonna tell her?

1075. - No. - All right.

1076. I'll talk to you later.

1077. Hey, buddy.

1078. You know, you're missing a pinky.

1079. How'd you do that?

1080. Some crazy bastard bit it off in a bathroom brawl.

1081. Okay.

1082. When I was eight years old, me and my sister,

1083. we went to go live with our grandparents for a couple of years.

1084. It was this old house on a hill and, uh, my job was to mow the lawn.

1085. It was one of these old, um...

1086. You know, these rotary blade thing... You push it.

1087. And my little sister, she jumps out and she's, uh...

1088. Well, she's screwing around.

1089. Making fun of me or whatever.

1090. You know, like little kids do and...

1091. And she won't move, so I give her till the count of three.

1092. - Fair warning. - I thought so.

1093. But one, two, three goes by and she doesn't move.

1094. So, I ran over her foot.

1095. She lost three toes.

1096. But what about your toe?

1097. My grandfather's brilliant idea of justice.

1098. This morning my ex-wife caught me stealing from her sock drawer.

1099. Not the first time.

1100. Purple sock.

1101. Same sock she had when we were married.

1102. I'm not a good person.

1103. I'm not.

1104. I don't deserve you.

1105. But you appeared. You...

1106. Like a leprechaun.

1107. Like a big, handsome leprechaun, right there in Iowa.

1108. There you were. Boom!

1109. And I had to follow you.

1110. I mean, boom. Magic!

1111. Right there.

1112. And can't do without you.

1113. We're in it together.

1114. I will tell you one thing though,

1115. I didn't follow you down this damn river to lose.

1116. Long way down, ain't it, Gerry?

1117. This is our horse.

1118. Toto's Revenge.

1119. 7-to-1. I don't know.

1120. Hey, look! It's Toto's-fucking-Revenge.

1121. Yeah, well, look. I say that we go with the favorite here, number one.

1122. - Mississippi Grind? - That just feels right.

1123. No, uh, look. It's Toto.

1124. Curtis, Toto.

1125. Dorothy, rainbows...

1126. I mean, this feels right.

1127. - This, right here, feels more than right. - You want to blow it all?

1128. On a long shot?

1129. I want to win it all on a long shot.

1130. - All right, good, Toto's Revenge. - No, no, no.

1131. No, no, no, no. I need you to be with me on this.

1132. - Yep. I'm with you. - No.

1133. No, I... I... But I need you to mean... I'm going to ask you again.

1134. Is this our horse?

1135. - This is our horse. - Oh, Curtis!

1136. - Is this our horse, Curtis? - This is our horse, Gerry.

1137. - Say it one more time. - Toto's Revenge.

1164. You didn't bet it all?

1165. I saved 100 each. Just in case.

1166. - So, we got 200? - No.

1167. - We got 200. - You have 100.

1168. And I have 100.

1296. All right, this one's for my little boy over there.

1297. I was born

1298. A poor, poor man

1299. All my life I've had

1300. Hard-working hands

1301. But I sang my song

1302. As I carried my load

1303. 'Cause I had a dream about Rain

1304. Rainbow Road

1305. Then one day

1306. My chance came along

1307. A man heard me singing

1308. And playing my song

1309. He bought me fine clothes

1310. And paid the money I owed

1311. Sent me on my way

1312. Pete?

1313. To Rain

1314. Make sure she gets this.

1315. Rainbow Road

1316. Then one night

1317. A man with a knife

1318. Pushed me until I had to take his life

1319. Though I pleaded with him

1320. Double zero.

1321. Oh, so desperately

1322. The judge showed no mercy on me

1323. And passed his sentence on me

1324. Now I'm pulling

1325. This ball and chain

1326. Wearing a number

1327. For my name...

1328. Change, 100.

1342. We... We made it. We made it, okay?

1343. Just pack your bags. We're getting out of here. We're gonna go.

1344. I don't care where we're gonna go.

1392. I was wrong about you, Gerry, I thought you were a sick pony.

1393. I thought I was gonna have to put down. But, uh...

1394. No, you're a hero.

1395. A new American legend.

1396. What's wrong?

1397. Something's not right with this.

1398. - Your steak? - Yeah.

1399. - Can you try that? - Hmm.

1404. Excuse me.

1405. Gerry.

1406. Can I get a cheeseburger?

1407. I'm sorry, is something wrong with your steak?

1408. No, no, no. Don't worry about it. It's perfect.

1409. I'm gonna eat it. Thank you very much.

1410. Okay. Cheeseburger?

1411. - Yes, please. - I'll be right back.

1444. Ger?

1445. Machu Picchu.

1446. - Hello. - Hi.

1447. I'd like to check out of my VIP penthouse suite,

1448. Alice.

1449. Oh, looks like everything's been comped, Mr. Vonn.

1450. How was your trip?

1451. Spectacular. Thank you very much.

1452. You heading home today?

1453. - Peru. - Peru!

1454. - I'm off to Peru. - Wow!

1455. - That sounds nice. - Yeah. Yeah.

1456. You want to go with me?

1457. I got lucky.

1458. Hmm.

1459. Number 199.

1460. Relaxed and squared.

1461. Shoulders that are suddenly relaxed and squared are saying,

1462. "I am confident."

1463. If someone goes from slumped shoulders

1464. to squared relaxed shoulders,

1465. I would be concerned

1466. as they are likely to be strong.

1467. Number 200...

1468. Number 1. Hat lift to ventilate.

1469. Men will suddenly lift up their hat

1470. to ventilate their head

1471. when they are struggling with something

1472. or stressed or have concerns.

1473. Look for other confirming tells

1474. such as the tense face, high shoulders, et cetera,

1475. to help you.

1476. Number 2.

1477. Ear lobe pulling or massaging.

1478. Pulling on or massaging the ear lobe

1479. tends to have a subtle, soothing effect on us

1480. when we are stressed or merely contemplating alternatives.

1481. I would associate ear lobe rubbing

1482. with doubt or hesitation.

1483. Number three. Head scratching.

1484. Head scratching pacifies us

1485. when we have doubts or stress or concern.

1486. When pondering a situation or when perplexed

1487. is usually when you see this behavior.

1488. Number 4. Botox.

1489. Because the forehead gives away so much information

1490. about stress and anxiety,

1491. some players, and I highly recommend it,

1492. have been Botoxing their foreheads.

1493. It is very effective at hiding tells of the forehead

1494. even though it may leave them

1495. totally void of forehead expression.

1496. One way to detect if players have been using Botox,

1497. is to look to see if there is a quarter-inch area

1498. just short of the hairline

1499. that reacts to the emotions in the normal way.

1500. This is a fairly good indicator not to look for cues of the forehead

1501. because they have been literally Botoxed out.
