- Thanks.

Don't mind me.

I'm just setting up for my meeting.

Hey, you want a beer?

- Sure.

- Honey, mind getting Henry a beer?

Hi.

Hi.

(LAUGHS) I know.

That's everything you wanted.

Thanks.

- Are you happy?

- I am.

I'm glad.

What are you gonna do now?

Honey, they're starting to arrive.

Maybe you'd be interested, Henry.

You could be a Jin Chi distributor.

It's Korean kitchenware,

the future of food storage.

Plus if you recruit distributors

you get paid even more.

- You mean like a pyramid scheme?

- No. Not... No. Not...

It's a multi-layered

marketing paradidgem.

Anyway, give it some thought.

Listen, Henry, I just wanted

to say thank you, you know.

For what?

For not giving up my name.

- I don't know your name.

- Sure you do. It's Joe.

You're welcome, Joe.

I'll see you, Deb.

(TV) ...with as much as three inches

in the Buffalo South towns,

and it will be getting colder.

You look at the extended outlook

and you see all these flakes,

but they're only going to be

scattered light snow showers,

so most of our accumulations

will be tonight

and a little bit more tomorrow.

(TV JINGLE)

Tak e a chance on life.

Tak e a chance on (SINGS) Buffalotto.

(SCREECHING TYRES)

What are you doing?

What the f*** are you doing?

Are you OK?

Stan, I... I gotta call you back.

I just ran someone over. OK.

You idiot! You weren't even

looking where you were going.

- Are you OK?

- Yeah.

- Is he OK? Is he all right?

- I think so.

Don't get up. I'll call an ambulance.

- No, don't. I'm OK.

- Hey, it's you.

Yeah, me.

You know what,

he walked out into the street.

I saw it all. You were on your phone.

- You weren't even paying attention.

- I was.

- I know how to drive.

- You know what?

Just park. I'll take him to the caf.

Where are you going?

Stay on the ground.

There we go. There we go.

So they let you out, huh?

Yeah.

Un verre d'eau, Pierre.

Thanks.

Did you call an ambulance?

It's OK. I really am fine.

Fine for a guy who just got run over.

Lucky, I guess.

I think someone should look at you.

Hello. Guy.

Do you wanna see someone?

- You look familiar.

- What?

Oh. Oh.

- That.

- What?

Take a chance on life.

Take a chance on (SINGS) Buffalotto.

- Oh. That's you.

- Unfortunately, yeah.

Er... I mean, look,

you seem to be OK, right?

Yeah, I'm OK.

Great. So I can go now, right?

- Sure.

- OK, then.

Goodbye.

And, you know, be more careful.

(CAR HORN)

I told you I never wanted

to see that face again.

So?

I figured it out.

- Figured what out?

- My dream.

Oh, that's good. So what is it?

The bank.

- The bank is your dream?

- Yeah.

- Um... what bank?

- The one I didn't rob.
