Hearts in Atlantis Page #6

- There she is.

- Bobby was right.

- A prodigy, huh?

- Why don't you win it back?

- I could, but I can't play for money.

A boast-y boy.

Says he can win,

but afraid to back it up.

I could have my money back.

Come on. Beat him.

- I can't. Your mother won't be happy.

- Beat him, come on.

My mom's never happy.

It's all I got.

This is the move that stunned

the sheik of Araby. Behold.

This one here, in the middle.

- All right!

- That's it!

A lucky guess.

Double your bet.

That way we all go home happy.

Fine.

This one is five years of my life.

This one here.

Nobody ever beat that shuffle.

Well, mister,

is it or isn't it?

- Yes, that's it! Okay.

- All right!

- It was a fluke.

- You bet it was a fluke.

Now beat it, kid.

Okay, gang, let's go. That's enough.

Come on, Bobby.

Step right up!

We had a winner!

It's easy as can be.

Easy peas-y Japanese-y!

Yes, yes.

Don't be afraid.

When we swung out, I was afraid

we would fall to our doom.

We're as safe as can be.

What do you think you're doing?

Well, I thought you wanted me to.

I just wasn't ready, that's all.

Okay.

- Bobby, do it again.

- I better not. You'll tell.

No, it'll be our secret.

Hurry, before we go down.

Bobby, I'm dying here.

Thank you.

That was the nicest thing.

It'll be the kiss by which

all others will be judged.

What?

Sounded better when Ted said it.

You knew, didn't you, where

the queen of hearts was?

I could tell what was

going on in his head.

Every thought he had, I knew,

and he couldn't fool me.

Can you tell what's in Sully's head?

Sully's head's always empty.

Oh, yeah? Maybe I'm thinking

of getting a new glove.

You are?

Well, what about that one?

- Want it?

- Are you kidding? I love it!

- Then, Bobby, it's yours.

- It is?

I'll leave it to you in my will.

- Sully, you just love doing that!

- I got you again.

You know, when you're young...

...you have moments

of such happiness...

...you think you're living

in someplace magical...

...like Atlantis must have been.

- Carol, I owe you $ 75. It's your turn.

- Okay.

- Here, give me $25 back.

- Twenty-five.

- Here. $22.

- Okay. Wait, no!

- No! Hold on.

- Oh, yeah. No.

Then we grow up...

...and our hearts break in two.

- Yes! I own it!

- Wait, no!

- No, I do.

- He does.

- Come on.

- Hang on.

What is it?

I wonder what it means.

It means somebody lost their pet,

goofball. Come on.

Yeah, but maybe it's a secret code.

What are you talking about?

- Fairy. I'll take that!

- I'm not a fairy!

- Don't talk to them!

- How are your tits?

- Go away!

- Grow up, Harry Doolin!

The Lone Ranger.

- Hi-ho, Silver!

- Bobby, how was school?

- Good.

- You'll never guess.
