Oh, just a minute, please.

Hello! Steve, old boy!

Mildred! Hello.

Drink up.

Got it again.

Drink up.

Thank you.

Oh, Steve!

Steve, old boy!

Tell me, how's everything

at the stockyard?

Ah. Winifred! How's your mother?

Well...

Your health.

Oh, Steve, old boy!

How is your father?

Well...

Oh. Well...

Gettin' awful tired.

Sleepy?

Very sleepy. I...

Mmm.

It's-It's...

Yes, you look tired.

You look tired.

There, there.

Oh. Oh, excuse me.

I-I must've dazed off.

Sonny, you should be careful

coming to places like this.

You might get your pockets

picked. Here's your watch.

Oh, shame on you!

Just a minute.

Here's your diamond pin.

Oh, thanks for the showboat

passes, Mr. Broadhurst.

And the gambling room is

right over there. Thank you.

Sorry, mister, but nobody gets

in here unless we know him.

Mr. Broadhurst, this place

is all full of crooks.

Oh, never mind that.

Captain Sam is in that room,

and we can't get in

unless somebody knows us.

I'll get us in.

My friend, what is the idea of you coming

out here and leaving us on the inside?

Did I do that?

You certainly did.

Then, come with me.

I'll go back in and get you.

Number 21.

Now, you stay here till

I find where I left you.

Hey, there's

Captain Sam over there.

Beats me.

I'll raise a hundred.

Here's your hundred.

That's your hundred.

I'll raise you a hundred.

Captain Sam, you ought

to be ashamed of yourself.

You promised never to gamble

again! Don't bother me.

Havin' a fine time. Good friends...

Miss Bonita and Mr. Crawford.

Go away, go away, go away.

You gentlemen might enjoy a

little roulette. This way, please.

Oh, put your arm down. I think

I'll take a fling at this thing.

Where's the money? My money,

yes. I got it right here.

Get it out. Is it all there?

I saved every bit of it.

Tens, twenties, yes.

Some fifties.

Several fifties, yes. Fifty, fifty,

fifty. Twenty, twenty, ten, ten.

What was that? Somebody

put a buck in there.

Give it to me. Let's get... No,

I said all of it. Oh, excuse me.

That's the idea. No, no,

no, no. Give me the bill.

That's the idea. I...

Give me that bill.

Put it in my hand like that

and leave it there.

Okay. That's better. Now we...

Pew, stop.

Pew.

Now, it don't look nice chewing gum in

that suit. I'm chewing it in my mouth.

Well, skip it.

Here, buy us some chips.

Okay. Mister, we would like

to get some... There you are.

That's quick service. Here. Here's

some chips for you to play with.

And take it easy! I'll tell you what,

you play the same numbers I play.

I'll play number 20, and you

play 20 too. How can you do that?

Why not? We're gonna play the same number?

Same number.

You want me to play 22.
