Back in a bit.

- Go, go, go, go, go...

- Come on! Come on!

...did we just...?

We won. We won! Ohmigod.

Tha s the two games we picked.

Ohmigod.

How much money is that?

Sixty, eighty, one hundred...

- Keep it coming.

...one-twenty, one-thirty.

All the guys saw a girls name

on the chart

and everybody bet against you.

You are money.

My pleasure, Matt.

Lets see what you got today.

Maybe we should just quit

while were ahead.

Relax, I played it real safe.

Look, you want to take your half?

I wont be offended.

No. It just... You know, Katlin, it...

...it makes me more nervous than you.

If we had any guts at all

wed pool everything.

I mean everything, and start

our own pool.

Katlin!

Great.

Ohmigod.

Is that her brother driving?

So?

Hot!

You guys have met my brother Ron,

right?

I remember you. Remember, the last time

I saw you you were around eleven, right?

Yeah. Playing kick the can with Janice.

Its, uh, been a while.

So youre the card shark, right?

Well, hardly.

So, you wanna ride someplace?

Uh, Im with a friend.

Hi, friend.

You both can come, you know.

Its okay, were gonna walk.

Some other time then.

Sure. Maybe.

- Bye, Janice.

- See ya.

You coulda gone, you know.

No way.

I was a real idiot wasnt I?

No!

- Yes I was! I was a geek, wasnt I?

- No, no!

Oh! Sweeeeeet!

You were fine!

Giants or Dolphins, Terry?

Giants.

Giants.

Or Dolphins. Who cares?

You care. She and Cheryl were

practically cheering at the TV yesterday.

Shes in a pool.

A football pool?

Why didnt you tell me? You made up

some story... about asses no less.

Because... its embarrassing.

Whod you pick?

Umm, Giants, Philly and Seattle.

Well, youre bold, but youre not

an idiot. How much?

Five bucks.

Five bucks is all right.

Its entertainment.

If there werent gamblers in this family,

there wouldnt be any food on the table.

You run a hedge fund, honey,

youre not Bat Masterson.

Listen, Cheryl and I are

putting it all towards Europe.

But its Matt Birmans pool.

Hes the one really raking it in.

I could make a ton more

if I had my own pool...

No, Katlin.

This Matt Birdbrain, or whatever his

name is,

can loose that money just as easily as

he wins it. And thats the risk.

OK, but seriously, Mom, I mean...

Katlin. I said no.

So please dont turn to your mother.

Now, this is exactly what I have been

talking about.

I was gonna say no too.

I dont want her in any pool.

Gambling is cheesy, Katlin.

It doesnt suit you.

I s not cheesy.

But if youre gonna play,

you set yourself a five buck limit,

you dont chase your losses

and do your research.

Oh, gawd, dont say that.

She loves research.

Saints and Seattle, a two team parlay,
