Lucky You Page #2

Synopsis: In Las Vegas, Huck Cheever is a poker player, brilliant but also prone to let emotion take over. It's the week of the poker world series, and Huck must come up with the $10,000 entry fee, which he wins, loses, borrows, and loses - and even steals part of from Billie Offer, an earnest young woman who's new in town and who catches Huck's eye. By the time the tournament starts, Huck owes everyone. Complicating things is the arrival of Huck's father, whom Huck detests for having left his mother, a champion player in town to win. Can Huck learn to play poker the way he lives and to live the way he plays poker? Or is his only flush the sound of his life going down the toilet?

I know, but I keep saying

it won't happen again.

But it does.

And I'm Iate.

So you guys are...?

Yeah.

-Nice to have met you.

-Nice to have met you.

Do you always intrude

on private conversations?

Well, it seemed Iike an intrusion

might be welcome.

So you're a mind reader?

Body. Your body Ianguage indicated

a certain Iack of enthusiasm.

You might have been wrong.

-Huck.

-Billie.

-New in town?

-No.

Really?

See, you are wrong

every once in a while.

Hey, sorry I'm Iate.

That's what he just said.

Yeah, but he's a poker player, Billie,

so you can't believe anything he says.

-Busted. Suzanne.

-How you doing, Huck?

-Great, now that I've met your friend.

-My sister.

-Your sister?

-My Iittle sister.

Little sister. Even better.

Ginger. Hey.

-Hey, Huck.

-Ginger.

This is my sister, Billie.

She just got in from Bakersfield.

-This is Gary.

-Hey, you work at the....

-At the Venetian. You're the gondola guy.

-That was Iast year.

I'm a Nubian slave at The Luxor now.

-We gotta go.

-Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

-See you Saturday at the party?

-Yeah.

Hope you enjoy your visit.

Suzanne.

That was a fast withdrawal.

Yeah, well,

Huck's not one to waste any time.

Boy, you're up.

You're my sister,

there's no way I'm Ietting that happen.

Bad news?

There's quite a few

who would say it's a good time.

-Does that include you?

-No.

I had Huck's number pretty early on.

-What number is that?

-Hustle 1 0, commitment zero.

Maybe he hasn't found

what he's Iooking for.

Billie, no.

Don't even think about it.

Come on,

we've been through this before.

Some people don't wanna be fixed.

They Iike things just the way they are.

French toast. Bacon on the side.

Fruit. Strawberries only.

Hang on a second, Lucy.

Why don't you just go rest up a Iittle?

We never close.

No time Iike the present, Tommy.

Oh, I should've gotten

away from that.

-Hey, Huck.

-Hi, Huck.

-Have a seat.

-What's going on, Huck?

Fasten your seatbelts. Huck is here.

What's for breakfast?

And don't say "you are."

Eighty-six for Iow.

Eighty-seven.

-Ace wins for high.

-You win the whole pot.

Nice deck.

-Look who's here.

-Good morning, gentlemen.

-Well, he's back.

-Hey, good to see you.

-What's going on?

-Good to see you.

Big Buckle, good to see you.

Sammy, Chau.

-Good to see you.

-Michelle, my belle.

Oh, I've missed you, L.C.

You in town for the tournament?

Yeah, well, someone's gotta try

and stem the tide of those couch potatoes.

-Is there an empty seat?

-Right here between me and Chau.

Twenty thousand.

Couldn't go another World Series

without you, L.C.

So how was the south of France?

French.

They hate our politics,
