That evening he quits his marriage and walks the streets of New York, passing from a classy bar to a gentleman's club, then to a high-class bordello, a mugging, a pawnshop, and a diner where someone does listen.

Who saw the queen?

We got two cards left.

Pay on the red queen. Who saw her?

- I saw her.

- Aw, sh*t, man, he too fast for me.

For $50?

All right, all right.

Put it up.

- Will you pay me if I win?

- Yes, I will.

If you win.

But you got to win first.

- All I got to do is turn the queen?

- That's all you got to do.

- I'll bet you $50.

- You sure?

- Yeah, I'm sure.

- Put it up.

Now...

which one

you like?

There.

I'm sorry, my man.

This time you lose.

Now we even.

Take another shot.

You pick the queen, you win.

I'll bet you another 50.

- Let me see those cards.

- These cards is fine.

- It's you that's slow.

- I want to see those cards.

These cards are good, my man.

You lost.

You show me those cards.

You ain't seein' no motherfuckin' cards.

We're playin' a game here.

You lost, man. Get lost.

- You let me see those cards, fella.

- You wanna see these cards?

You wanna see these cards?

Here's your motherfuckin' cards!

Stop!

Stop it!

Hold him, hold him.

Turn around!

See my money

and the cards.

He said...

he said my cards...

Come on, let's get out

of here. Come on.

Come on!

Oh God.

I want a room.

- $22.

- I lost my wallet.

- Go to the police.

- You can call up American Express.

Go to the police.

I don't want to hear about it.

You can call the credit card people.

I-I have insurance.

You can call them yourself.

Right across the hall.

I have no money.

I'm sure it's

a free call.

Does that phone

require a coin?

I'm sure I don't know.

You know if it needs a coin

or not to get a dial tone.

You know if it needs a coin,

for Christ's sake.

You want to live

in that kind of world?

You want to live

in a world like that?

I've been hurt.

Are you blind?

Would you appreciate it

if I acted this way to you?

I ask you

one simple thing...

does it need a coin?

No. It doesn't

need a coin.

You make your call

and then you go

somewhere else!

Please deposit 75

for the first three minutes.

What do you get for that?

What is that, 14 or 19?

- 14.

- Yeah? Let me see that.

- How much is that?

- 685.

Why is that?

How old is that? Is that old?

You know how much gold

you got in there?

Feel that.

Just feel that.

- Where is it marked?

- Right there. You want the loupe?

No no, I can see it.

- What?

- I want to pawn something.

Talk to the man

in back.

- What else you got like this?

- I want to pawn something.

- What?

- My ring.

Take it off.

- It's difficult to take it off.

- Spit on it.

- How much is that?

- 220.

I got it off.

What do you want to do with this?

You want to pawn it?

- Yes, how does that work?

- Is that what you want to do?

Yes. Are there

other things to do?
