Poker dice, one flop.

- All right.

- Here goes.

- Hard to beat, lady. Heh-heh-heh.

- Not for me.

- Well, come on, let's see you do it.

- Here goes.

I'm for you. There you go.

Two fours.

- Three fours, one on me.

- Ha-ha-ha.

Well, here goes again.

Make it easy for you this time.

Pair of fives. That's a cinch.

- I'd beat it with my eyes closed.

- I bet you can too.

- Come on, let's see you do it. Ha-ha-ha.

- Here goes.

Oh, two fours.

- Well, I'm sorry. Sorry, lady.

- Two on me.

Ha-ha.

Say, you're a cute little trick.

Anybody ever tell you that?

Not yet.

Oh.

Well, here goes again.

Well, better still, straight six high.

- Beat that.

- You must have beginner's luck.

- But I'll beat it even yet.

- Come on, let's see you do it. Come on.

- There's a straight.

- I'm sorry, baby, but you lose.

Five high, mine was six high.

Say, look here. You better quit this.

I hate to see a nice little girl like you

lose her job.

Thanks.

That's three games on the house.

My, but you're lucky.

Do you gamble much?

Oh, I take a little flyer

every once in a while.

For big money?

Do I look like a tinhorn?

- I should say not.

- Heh-heh-heh.

Well, how much do I owe you?

Three dollars,

and you get $6 worth of merchandise.

What will you have?

I got my eye on that big box

of candy right there.

- That's just $6.

- Well, I'll have it.

- Shall I wrap it up for you?

- No, no, no. You keep it, baby.

Oh, I don't think I can do that. I mean...

No, that's all right. I don't eat candy.

Gets in my teeth.

Well, that's too bad for you.

- Yeah.

- But my good luck.

Look here...

You know, I'm a stranger in town.

How'd you like to come out

and have dinner with me tonight?

Oh, I couldn't. My mother

doesn't let me stay out at night.

Oh, that's too bad.

- Are you sure you won't change your mind?

- Oh, I couldn't. I really couldn't.

I'm glad you like it here.

It's very good, let me tell you that.

- Really?

- Yeah.

It's one of the best seafood places

I've ever been at. Ahem.

- I thought you'd like it.

- Great java too.

Mmm.

Not a bad cigar you sold me.

I always say you can tell a gentleman

by the kind of cigar he smokes.

Of course, at home,

I smoke my own brand.

- Yeah?

- A fellow in Havana makes them up for me.

- You don't say.

- Hmm.

Say, Marie, you know most of the regulars

that hang around the hotel, don't you?

Well, yes. Why?

Well, ever see Hickory Short around?

You know, the big gambler.

Well, he's an awfully nice fellow.

He's around all the time.

You don't happen to know which room

they're holding the game?

I happen to know.

You won't say I told you.

Not a word. Come on, tell me, sister.
