Gorgeous.

Wasn't that the most

f***ing-amazing-I mean that

- rainbow was beautiful.

- Best rainbow ever.

How come I've

never seen you before?

- Just passin' through.

- Where you headed?

New Orleans.

Awww, man. Man

I love new Orleans!

Me too.

Ohh. You're going to your

friend's home game right?

Who? Tony Roundtree? No, I

don't have that kinda money.

- Then why?

- What do you mean?

What, you just head down to

new Orleans for the hell of it?

Pretty much.

That sounds alright.

That's alright with me.

Dale! Dale.

He just sits

there starin' at me.

Okay buddy, pick a card.

I'll let you see

either of these cards.

Whichever card he

turns over he's gonna think

it's a full boat.

Aw that's beautiful.

Yeah, it really was. Ha.

Okay umm, heads or tails.

Tails.

Yeah. Again. Hold on.

Aaand, call it.

Tails.

Where did you come from?

Noo! Noo!

Hey, Denise, do

you have any coconut oil?

I have lotion.

So, umm, your his, uh...

Just friends.

Thanks for the couch.

You want breakfast?

Dog races start at one.

What time is it?

Nine-thirty.

Aww, sh*t.

Oh, sh*t.

- What's wrong?

- I have work.

You have a job?

Yeah, where did I park the car?

Hey, look at this.

See that?

Look who's running the sixth

race:
Dynamic Rainbow.

Is that not our dog?

Look me in the eye and

tell me that's not our dog.

- That's a good name.

- That's a great name.

Umm.

Here.

Go on, count it.

Oh no, that's ok.

Naw, that's alright.

Thrusting a stranger, Gerry.

It's just one of those things.

I think that I'm finally

starting to understand what

you guys are after and

I think you're going to

find this is a real winner.

Really.

I am on my way.

Aww, that's beautiful.

That's beautiful.

You want me to place a

bet for you? They're saying

that dynamic rainbow's

got forty-eight to one odds.

That's terrible.

That is what

makes it fun, Gerry.

I'm laying fifty to win.

What do you want to do?

Forty-eight to one,

geez. I don't know.

Don't stress baby,

it's just dogs.

You know what, put me

down for two hundred to place.

Okay, you got it.

Dynamic Rainbow.

Heeeere comes Casey.

And the greyhounds

are on the race track.

Which one

is number four?

Dynamic Rainbow number

four in the green. There we go.

C'mon Rainbow! C'mon Rainbow!

Go go go! Go Dynamic Rainbow!

Around the first turn...

Beautiful.

Look look look look look!

Let's go Rainbow! C'mon.

Yeah! Oh yeah!

He's bringing it up!

- Go Rainbow! Go Rainbow!

Dynamic Rainbow.

Around the turn and down the

home stretch to the wire. It's-

yeah!

Dynamic Rainbow at the wire.

We won!

Of course we won.

Your damn right we won.

Ahhh. F***! I'm an idiot.
