Okay.

Just keep that in your pocket, Mr. Nick,

and you'll win for sure.

Oh, thanks, Snake Eyes.

Say, I've practically got that big

city sugar in my kick right now.

Come here, give me luck.

Here, Nick, here's my home

office address.

You can send my share there.

I'll send you back your

grand and your cut. Okay.

You all understand, I pay back your original

investment and we split the winnings 50-50.

That's right.

How much you think you're gonna win?

I'll win so much,

you can send back to the old country...

...for your wife and your sweetheart too.

Well, now, look here, young squirt,

you keep that barbershop going.

Sorry to see you go, Nick.

Well, soon as I make my killing,

I'll send for you, and that won't be long.

- Here's your ride.

- I'll be waiting.

- Well.

- Good luck with those big-city blonds.

Yeah, well, this is the only blond

that I'm true to.

Goodbye.

Say, conductor,

what time do we get to the big city?

We're due in there at 6:42.

And we've never been late yet.

Well, I bet you 10-to-5 we don't make it.

Nice ride. Thanks.

Good morning.

- Good morning.

- Everything satisfactory, Mr. Venizelos?

- Oh, yeah, yeah.

Fine hotel you got here.

Where's the barbershop?

- It's right downstairs, sir.

- Oh, thanks.

Oh, by the way, you haven't seen

Hickory Short around here today, have you?

You mean Hickory Short, the gambler?

- Yeah.

- He doesn't live here.

I heard he hung out here.

Well, not in this hotel.

Hmm.

Say, you don't happen to know

in which room the big roving poker game...

...is going on tonight, do you?

No, sir, I don't. We don't permit anything

like that around this hotel.

Oh, I see.

Thanks. Heh-heh.

Huh.

Whew.

Hmm.

Heh.

Oh, uh...

I'd like a heater, miss.

- Heater?

- Yeah, a cigar.

I've never heard them called that before.

Any particular brand?

Oh, about two bits or better,

if you got them.

These are very nice.

I can recommend them.

You smoke them yourself?

Oh, no, sir.

Well, they are good. Hmm.

Look awfully good.

I'll take four or five of these.

- How much are they?

- They're a dollar apiece.

You think so?

Well, that's the price.

All right. Ahem.

I'll take them.

Here you are, lady.

- Thank you.

- Keep the change.

Say, what are these things for?

Poker dice.

Oh, you gamble with them?

Yes, sir, it's a dollar if you lose.

If you win,

you get $2 worth of merchandise.

Anything behind the counter?

Anything in merchandise.

Heh-heh.

Well, you're a cute little package.

Would you like to roll the dice?

Well, I don't know.

I'm a little green at this sort of thing.
