My friend Lieutenant Sebastian

of the police

told me of your commission in the army.

Now theres a job you might have

talent for, on the police force.

lm not partial to the law.

As a matter of fact,

thats why l left the States.

-l got into a little jam back there.

-How long ago was that?

l just told you. Five years ago in New York.

-What kind of a jam? Kill someone?

-No. Youd probably call it smalltime stuff.

Smuggling arms,

getting rid of hot jewelry?

Thats too bigtime for me.

Sorry l cant do anything

for you, Lieutenant.

lll try one of the spots down the street.

You cant get a job in this town.

Why dont you be smart and grab

the next boat back to Hong Kong?

Whos gonna provide the finances?

lll be glad to give that some thought.

You fabulous character, you

l dont know what it is that you do

But you have the power to make me laugh

And the power to break my heart in half

You kill me

You knock me out

You had me the moment you smiled

You kill me

No, theres no doubt

Youre certainly driving me wild

Youve got that

"oh how l need you" expression

What a confession that is

Baby lm on the spot

Tell me youre not

Giving me the business

lm certain

lm positive

lm sure that my love will survive

Because you kill me

And keep me so alive

Youve got that

"oh how l need you" expression

What a confession that is

Baby lm on the spot

Tell me youre not

Giving me the business

lm certain

lm positive

lm so sure that my love will survive

Because you thrill me

Baby, you kill me

And keep me so alive

-Are they always that enthusiastic?

-Always.

Try again, Mr. Trumble?

Sure. The nights young

and lve got plenty of cabbage.

Come on, Nick. This Chinese

three-dice game is a pushover.

All you do is bet on high,

low or the number of points that come up.

No, thanks.

Seventeen high!

Well, easy come, easy go.

Are you sure you wont try your luck?

Not the way its running.

Why not, Mr. Cochrane?

l have a feeling this is your night.

Bet on three of a kind, you get 35 to one.

Three sixes for instance.

-How often does that come up?

-l have a hunch it might happen right now.

Three sixes. Shoot the works.

-Would you like some fresh dice?

-You know them better than l do.

Three sixes.

My, lady luck

didnt just smile at you, brother,

she got hysterical!

Pay Mr. Cochrane $350.

Let it ride, Lieutenant. On the triple six.

The man says let it ride.

-Same dice?

-Same dice, if you dont mind.

Three sixes.

l see it, but dont believe it.

Six sixes in a row.

Thirty-five times 350.

Pay the man $12,250.

Why stop now?

-Dont tell me to let it all ride.

-Why not? Triple-six and youre rich.

Dont look at me.

Heres the $20 l owe you.
