That's the only thing that is

keeping me alive right now, frankly.

So, let's get this party started!

Right.

You know...

- I need it bad.

- KATE:
We know you need it.

- Yeah.

- But, for us, it's not a great time.

So, we were thinking, maybe...

SCOTT:
Maybe...

- We...

- We could leave later than we talked about leaving.

- You said we were going to say...

- I said we have since...

- You have since...

- decided that we need to support a friend.

Who's this friend?

Vegas. Whoo!

(CROWD CHEERING)

- DEALER:
It's 11! Eleven!

- Yes! Yes!

DEALER:
Gentleman needs some chips.

Guys, what are you waiting for?

Get in on this! I'm hitting every

single number over and over again.

Let's do this!

DEALER:
Dice are out!

- Eleven!

- (ALL CHEERING)

- MAN:
This dude is on fire!

- You guys need money?

I am literally making every

single person at this table money.

I don't know, we said

we weren't gonna gamble.

Come on. What's the

worst that could happen?

Maybe we put a few dollars on four.

DEALER:
Hot shooter.

I mean, yeah, the fourth

is Alex's birthday.

- Right?

- We'll just do one bet.

I kind of can't lose at

this point, so let's do this.

DEALER:
Welcome to the Wynn, sir.

Number four, please.

- No, no, not all 500.

- Hey-oh!

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

- Yeah! F*** yeah, four!

- Yes! Yes!

Four! Four!

I should tell you, the probability

of hitting four again, very unlikely.

But if we do, you guys are gonna

double that and it's gonna pay out big.

And, plus, it's for baby Alex!

- (CHANTING) Alex! Alex! Alex!

- ALL:
Alex! Alex! Alex!

DEALER:
That's a four.

(ALL CHEERING)

Come on, Frank! Frank, look at me!

- We're gonna do this, Frank!

- Here we go, Kate!

- Do this!

- Let's do this!

To my brothers and sisters

Mom, Pops, and my daughter

Nieces and nephews, salute

all y'all to those I can't get to

To my dogs on lock down

Block hustlers from all around

I pray you make it

This world is yours...

DEALER:
Four!

(CHEERING)

Amazing, amazing,

amazing, so damn amazing

FRANK:
Okay, guys...

If I roll another four, that's

Alex going to college, all right?

I feel very lucky right now.

- We believe in you, Frank.

- All right.

Whatever you do, don't roll a seven!

(DISTORTED) Why would you say that?

(DISTORTED) I didn't know!

- No!

- No!

(DISTORTED) F*** you, a**hole!

ALL:
No!

SCOTT:
(DISTORTED) Yeah! Oh, yeah!

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

- KATE:
(DISTORTED) Oh, no!

- FRANK:
(DISTORTED) God damn it!

DEALER:
Seven out,

there was no four.

- Hey, that money's my daughter's college tuition.

- DEALER:
Yeah?

Well, she just got accepted

to the School of Hard Knocks.

Misroll! It's a misroll!

- Scotty, no!

- I said not a seven!
