while you figure out

what you're gonna wear!

Come on, I'm itching to hit the tables!

Neil, is that our trip money?

I'm not leaving $5,000

in cash in a hotel room.

We're in Europe. These

people rob you blind.

Neil, promise me you won't

gamble with our trip money.

- I promise, I promise!

- OK!

Like I'm going to blow $5,000 gambling.

Like I'm some kind of idiot or something.

I'm thinking about wearing

the Versace sample...

the black one with the sequins?

Dream on, Mare. Maybe 5 years ago, huh?

- Don't forget to hide...

- The garment bag under the bed.

And don't let the hangers stick

out this time, all right?

And listen, don't order more

of that bottled water...

at 14 bucks a pop. You can

drink out of the tap.

Have I since the day you met

me ever done anything right?

Of course, doll. You married me.

Thank you, Neil. You're always

so supportive, so giving.

Baby... wish me luck.

Merci.

700,000, please.

Monsieur.

Thank you.

- 50 francs.

- 50?

I'll have to get the smaller markers.

They use them in the children's casino.

- Just give me the markers.

- 50.

Wait, you made a mistake. I said 5,000.

- Francs?

- Dollars. U.S. Dollars.

The guy thought I said 50 francs.

- Are you finish?

- No. Are you Swedish?

Am I finished? I've just begun!

Am I finished? No way, big boy!

- Cigarette?

- No, thanks, I don't smoke.

It is a weakness, I know.

For me, one of many...

I'm afraid, not the least of

which is a beautiful woman...

- such as yourself.

- Thank you. I'm married.

Interesting... the married woman.

One of life's misunderstood creatures...

to whom no man is truly worthy.

Peron de la Pena at your service, madame.

I think I'd better find my husband.

You may call me Alfonso.

The ugly American is betting on red!

Red, baby! Red, baby! Red, red, red.

Rouge.

Yes! I love it, I love it, I love it.

Bring it over here. Come on. Hey, I won it!

I just want to make sure

because I'm American.

I know you hate Americans,

but just remember...

if it wasn't for us, you'd be

speaking German right now!

So gimme my chips! Martini?

- Yes! Martini, yes.

- That's 100 bucks, buddy.

That's a damn good tip for a martini, huh?

All right, we're cooking now.

Thank you, sir. This is for you, my dear.

Get a t-shirt for those, will you?

Let's see, what's in my system?

Hey! Keep your face out of my system.

This cost me a fortune. Oh, boy, Marilyn...

- This is working like a charm.

- Hello, Neil.

Voulez-vous miser, monsieur?

Yes, I'm betting on black.

American on black.

Well, what do you think?

It's not you, honey. It's

not you, that's all.

But that's what I like about it.

Honey, you're hanging
