light city gonna set my soul

# Gonna set my soul on fire

- # I got a whole lot of money...

- Could you shut the f*** up?

Tony, there's absolutely no need

for that type of language here.

All right. Oh...

I raise... 500.

I fold.

Well, baby, the King must fold.

I'll see the 500...

...and I'll raise 2,000.

- You must have tremendous confidence.

- I have tremendous confidence.

Say "good night," Gracie.

A little confidence

ain't going to get it, kid.

I see the 2,500

and raise you three grand.

I think you got nothin'.

That's your constitutional right.

OK. That's the kind of game

we're going to play...

That's five to me...

...and...

I raise you 8,000.

Tommy, I thought

we were playing for fun.

This is fun.

# Wise men say

# Only fools rush in

Eddie, please.

We may have to institute

a ban on singing here.

I'll see the eight grand.

I'll raise you ten.

Can I borrow 21 grand, please?

Twenty-one grand?

You know you can buy

a friggin' Volvo for 21 grand? Turbo?

I know what I'm doin'.

- You got some guts, kid.

- It's not guts. It's realism.

There's 83 grand in there.

Jackson, what's the word?

I'll see it...

...and I'll raise you ten.

25,000 more, please.

This kid's got some set of balls.

Am I right?

My hat's off to you, kid.

My shirt too, probably,

the way you play.

To you.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.

Well, might as well

go down in flames.

What do you got?

Sorry, man.

Straight flush to the jack.

That's... That's one for the books.

To the queen.

That's a tough break.

Would you like a fruit plate?

I'm not assessing any blame here.

But the reality is that you're

in a tremendous amount of trouble.

- If I go to a loan shark...

- Loan shark?

What loan shark's

going to give you 65,000?

If you haven't got it,

there's no way you can pay it back.

If you can, give it to me.

- I can't.

- Nonpayment of debts.

That's extremely serious everywhere.

I mean, among people. Among countries,

governments... They don't give a sh*t.

Am I right? They stiff everybody.

But...

... individuals...

They are expected to pay debts.

Especially gambling debts.

That's the essence of gambling.

You risk something.

If you put up money

you haven't got and can't get...

That's the lowest.

People...

People can get badly injured.

Jack, I'm talking physically.

Maybe we could work out something

over a period of a couple years.

Hey, what do you think?

You're buying a damn washer and dryer?

You owe Tommy Korman $65,000,

you understand?

Look, I'll rack my brain.

It's all right. I already racked mine.

- Do you have a solution?

- I do.

I want...

...your girlfriend for the weekend.

Betsy?

How do you know Betsy?
