I don't know if i can get a flight out

this afternoon

or not, though.

Oh, really?

Well, tell them to pick me up

at the smyrna airport.

What time

Ok. I'll see you

for dinner, buddy.

Thank you. Bye-bye.

Ha ha.

There's going to be a big

game in dallas tonight.

A bunch of turkeys

coming down from new york

to go duck hunting.

Been waiting for months

for a game like this one.

Ron, what do you

need that for?

What do you mean, what do i need that for?

I'm a gambler.

Rich today

and poor tomorrow.

Come on, partner.

But, ron, those stakes!

Yeah, and you win some,

and they lose some.

I knew that was coming next.

I thought we were going to make the

last payment on the club this month.

Let's just

don't rush things.

Can i have a small piece of the action?

Anytime,

jeremiah.

Me, too, ron.

I got 1,500.

us off behind that bar.

Man, i ain't been eatin'

apple behind the barn on you!

That's lmy/l money!

Ok, i tell you what.

Let's stash this here for

a stake in case i bust out.

Meantime, we all got

a piece of the action.

Ok? All right.

I got to go to the bank,

and then i got to

catch the airplane,

and then i got to pick up a change

of clothes on the way. Come on.

Go get 'em, tiger!

Go get 'em.

See that?

Picking up your partner in

a little old private plane.

Oh, ron, i wish

you weren't going.

I'll win you a bundle.

I don't want you to win me

a bundle. That's not im...

ohh!

Look at... get this

off of me! A bird!

Please, get it off!

Get it off, ron.

Give me a second.

No. Oh, i knew it.

This is a bad omen.

It's no bad omen.

It is too!

Didn't happen to me.

Oh, ron!

Hmm.

Ron!

I didn't expect you

to be back so soon.

Well, they brought me in

their little old lear jet.

Hmm. My, my. Haven't

we come up in the world?

Well, isn't that what it's

all about... coming up?

Oh, here.

I brought you my laundry.

I knew it.

I just knew it.

Well, aren't you

going to open it?

No good, ron?

You better get me

that envelope.

Hey, emmett.

Come here.

Just take a peek

in there, will you?

Man, oh, man!

Ha ha ha!

Emmett, i want you to bring

me a drink just like that,

only make mine

a double.

For you?

For me.

Quit, ron.

Hmm?

Why don't you

just quit

while you're way out

in front for once?

Yeah?

You know, put it in a savings

account, municipal bonds.

Yeah.

The interest

alone...

and we've got

this place.

Well, what would i do?

I mean,

i'm still a gambler.

Yeah, but you see, this is

not gambling money anymore.

No?

No. This is

high finance.

You bet it is, honey.

Ohh.

Besides,

i already spent it.

Oh, i should have

known that.

I should have

guessed that.

Ok, on what?

Well, i bought 1,000 shares

of the caravan hotel.

Never heard of it.

Well, it's being built

in las vegas.

That, i've heard of.

Yeah. Well, a.j. Stoner offered

me the job of managing the casino.

See, from now on,

we gamble,

but we gamble with

other people's money.

Hey, you know any talented

young little girlie singers

who want to hit

the big time,

better give me

a break, old girl.

That'll be the day.

Yeah? Yeah?

I am lit./l

oh, boy.

This i've got to see

with my own eyes.

Ok. When do we

have to leave?

We'll leave

soon as we can.

See you.

Hello?

Need any help?

What the hell

you doing?!

Lewis.

What?

Put your hands

on the car.

Haskins.

Put your hands

on top of the car.

What the hell's

going on here?

You know who was shooting

at you on talbot road?

No. Do you?

Don't get smart.

Did you report it

to the sheriff's office?

Not yet, but

somebody must have.

How else

did you find out?

Radar, lewis.

Now get in that car,

real nice and easy like.

Why, haskins?

Because i said to!

Where we going?

To the morgue,

you son of a b*tch,

if you don't

get in the car.
