- Come on. $25,000.
$25,000 Billy Hahn has lost to me.
Excuse me one moment, will you?
You say Billy Hahn lost 25 large to me?
I'm showing you this cos I like you, OK?
Cos you got blonde hair.
You're looking at Billy Hahn's IOU. OK?
Billy Hahn owes me 800 bucks.
- In or out?
- Deal past me.
OK?
How did you size me up so quick
that I'm not some hard guy
- I don't know. In my work...
- What work is that?
It's none of your business.
- In or out?
- Out.
Oh, it's none of my business?
OK. Then I stand corrected.
Here's the thing.
- I want something from you.
- What do you want?
- I want you to do me a favour.
- Why should I do you a favour?
If you do, I'll forget the 800
your friend owes me.
- What do you want?
- Let's talk for a minute.
What is it?
- Do you know what a "tell" is?
- A "tell"?
Here. Do this.
You have to choose a hand.
You do it to me. Do it.
Bingo. Do it again.
OK. Now, I can do that all day.
How? You got a "tell". You're telling
me the hand that has the coin.
- I am? How?
- It's not important.
OK, it's your nose. You point your nose
slightly at the hand that has the coin. OK?
That's a tell.
Now, look back over my shoulder.
The guy in a beard and a cowboy shirt.
- You see him?
- Yes.
He's from Las Vegas. He's been
beating me all night. He's got a tell.
When he's bluffing,
he plays with his little gold ring.
I caught him doing it. He knows I did,
so he stopped. He's conscious of himself.
- I want you to do me this favour.
- What's that?
Be my girlfriend for a while.
Come in the game, watch me play.
We get in a big hand. I go to go pee,
you watch this guy and tell me,
does he play with his gold ring?
Then I know he's bluffing, I win the big
hand and forget the 800 your friend owes.
If you're a good gambler,
how did you fall into this?
- I'm not a gambler.
- You're not a gambler?
- No.
- What are you, then?
I made you a deal. I'll tear up
your friend's marker if you help me out.
Will you do that?
All right.
Two.
Three.
- One card.
- The man takes one.
Dealer takes three.
I bet a hundred.
Call.
Call.
Up 200.
Here we go.
Your three, and five more.
- Call.
- Pass.
The guy's got a full house, you got two
pair, you're in an indefensible position.
It's good that I can joke about it, isn't it?
I'm out. You drove me out.
A man with style
is a man who can smile.
How are you?
Are you having a good time?
- Never better.
- Glad to hear it.
- Out.
- I'm out.
Damn cards are cold as ice.
- Full house.
- New hand.
- Did you win again?
- That's right.
You wanna win the hand,
you gotta stay in till the end.
