- Dan, there's a problem: | Roger Oskaner.

see if I can lay eyes | on this guy.

He's a goddamn phantom.

Oskaner The Phantom.

- Dan!

You picked one hell of a night.

The Pointer Sisters are in town.

Wanna see the show, | just let me know.

- Hello?

- Hi, Dan.

- Hi. Uh...

I think there's been a mistake.

- Dan, I am no mistake.

Now why don't you slide right on | over here and keep me company.

Hello?

- He told her that he was only

interested in Lady Luck.

He's a goddamn thoroughbred.

All he cares about | is the next hand.

He's a beauty. He's a beauty!

I love him. I love him!

- The iceman.

- You know, I was thinking...

You know, we could get away.

Go away for a weekend, | or something.

Just you and me.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, jump on a plane.

Go anywhere.

- Are you serious?

- Yes.

- 'Cause I'd really like that.

And there are some | really great deals

going this time of year.

I promise.

- Maybe somewhere hot?

- Somewhere hot.

Okay?

- Okay.

both Saturday and Sunday.

- All the underdogs. | - Every game?

- Yeah. I won't be around | this weekend,

tell Frank I want the one horse | in every race, both tracks.

- Every race? You don't even | know who's running!

- For the maximum. | I'll see you Monday.

- I don't know if Frank'll cover | you on this one.

- I'm sure he will.

- Have a nice weekend, | Mrs. Quinson.

- And when are you | gonna get married?

- Ma, don't bother my friends!

- I hate it when he makes stupid bets. | - Why not?

- It's disrespectful | to my business and to me.

- Yeah, but Frank, it's easy money.

- I'll take his action | if he'll play for real.

That way I feel better | about taking his money.

- Yeah! Ha! Ha! Ha!

He's probably mad at me. | They all get mad at you.

They lose, and it's | your fault, you know.

Very f***ed up.

- Maybe we should get mad at them.

- Yeah, maybe we should. | Maybe we should.

Maybe we should.
