Nathan, Nathan, Nathan Detroit

If the size of your bundle

you want to increase

I'll arrange that you go broke

in quiet and peace

In a hide-out provided by Nathan

Where there are

no neighbours to squawk

It's the oldest-established permanent

Floating crap game in New York

Where's the action?

Where's the game?

Gotta have the game

or we'll die from shame

It's the oldest-established permanent

Floating crap game in

New York

Gentlemen, I am deeply touched

by your faith and loyalty.

Gentlemen, do not worry. Nathan Detroit's

crap game will float again.

Nathan! Guess who's sittin' in Mindy's

right now, eatin' a steak breakfast.

- Hitler.

- Wrong. Sky Masterson.

Sky Masterson's in town. This should be

the greatest crap game of your career.

- Where's it gonna be?

- City Hall. The mayor's office.

- What time?

- We will leave you know, Angie.

Sky Masterson, the highest player

of 'em all. What a spot I'm in.

- Does he bet higher than the Greek?

- Why do you think they call him Sky?

Once, with my own eyes,

I saw him bet 5,000 bucks

that one raindrop'd beat

another raindrop down the window.

Once he was sick

and would not take penicillin.

He bet his fever would go to 104.

- Always makes crazy bets like that.

- Did he win?

Him and his crazy bets.

He got lucky. It went to 106.

So why don't I bet him?

Why don't I bet him

1,000 bucks on somethin'?

Max, what's the matter no Danish today?

It's a holiday in Denmark. How do I know?

- For years you been bringing me Danish.

- So we ain't got Danish today.

I'm bringing you cheesecake.

You want strudel, I'll bring strudel.

- I don't like strudel.

- So eat the cheesecake.

Live it up a little!

I do not understand you. Everyone's crazy

about Mindy's cheesecake and strudel.

They must sell thousands

of portions every day.

That's just it.

Everybody's on cheesecake and strudel.

Makes me feel like

I'm playing the favourite.

Playing the favourite...

Nicely, Benny, go into the kitchen

and find out exactly how many pieces

of cheesecake they sold yesterday -

also how many pieces of strudel.

How much cheesecake?

How much strudel?

What do you wanna know for?

I'm investigatin' for the FBI. Go!

Brannigan! Stop breathing down my neck.

- Why, Nathan!

- Adelaide. Doll!

Nathan, how could you think

I was Lieutenant Brannigan?

We don't even use the same perfume.

I was kinda daydreaming, I guess.

I don't dream about detectives,

Nathan, even in the daytime.

Do you know what I dream about? You.

And your career as a businessman

in a normal business.

And our career together

as a normal husband and wife.

Gesundheit. Your cold does not seem

to be getting any better.
