Honeymoon in Vegas Page #4

so you're, like, covered

if you get murdered on a hand.

This is just a promotional thing,

basically. Relax.

It's two hours.

Then we get married. End of story.

I don't know.

Really glad you could make it...

Jack, right?

Yeah. It's my pleasure.

You know, with all these Elvises...

Excuse me...

Excuse me, Elvises running around, no?

I haven't seen so many sideburns

since West Side Story.

That's very funny. Wait.

That's New York wit. Am I right?

New York wit?

So, Tommy, you organize this

for the hotel? The game?

Right. I'm...

I'm retired from the dress business,

and I basically play for fun.

And the hotel asked me

to help make the guests feel at home.

- So a two-hour card game.

- Nobody gets too badly hurt.

- Sure.

- Come on, come on. Let's play.

The natives are getting restless.

So we'd better get going.

Telephone call

for Betsy Nolan. Betsy Nolan.

Excuse... Jack, would you like me

to turn up the air-conditioning?

- No, thanks.

- Sure?

Yeah. I'm fine.

See the raise.

Bump 20.

Can't catch a break here.

- Get me a sandwich or something.

- Yes, sir.

- I see it.

- Well, boys...

the good Lord was kind enough

to bless me with a full boat.

Fives overjacks.

- Sh*t.

- Well, the King is out, boys.

I have $20 left.

I probably should go.

Personally, I think you're playing

very well. It's just some bad luck.

You're playing perfect.

Just some bad luck.

Look, guys,

I don't have this kind of money to lose.

What really concerns me here,

Jack, is you're gonna go back

to New York

with a bad feeling about Vegas.

- That concerns me.

- I really won't.

He's scared. That's natural.

Hey, look, it's not a matter

of being scared, OK?

What? It's just money?

- Yeah. It's just money.

- Well.

Tell you what. Here.

You just activated your line of credit.

Here's a thousand.

You lose it, it's on the hotel.

You win it, you pay it back. Fair?

Well, this afternoon

he wanted to play in this poker game...

that they have for new guests.

Mom, I can't hear you.

Oh, thanks.

You know,

it's like an introductory game.

I'll bet 200.

See it.

- See it.

- Well, I'm out.

See the 200 and...

Oh, God...

...raise a hundred.

Too rich for my blood.

See your hundred.

Raise you... a thousand.

This is out of control.

I'm out.

See the thousand.

- We're it, huh?

- Just us chickens.

Both.

Aces over eights.

- Sh*t!

- Excellent!

This is terrific.

You played that hand like,

"Forget about it," huh?

Thanks. I'm in a regular game

in the city.

Really? You got to tell me that.

I'll call you

right before the ceremony.

Like 10:
30 your time.

Of course I'm excited.

What do you think?

# Well, bright
