The House Page #6

---

Give me that stick! Give it to me!

FRANK:
"Whatever you

do, don't roll a seven"?

Thanks a lot, a**hole. You

basically jinxed us all.

I was merely trying to make you

aware of what number not to roll,

which, by the way, for

the record, was seven.

- (GROANS)

- MAN:
F*** you, a**hole!

That guy gets it!

- Why is that guy following me?

- Why?

Because he hates you.

I hate you, too, right now.

This place makes you crazy.

You know, we came in hell-bent on

not gambling, and what did we do?

We gambled and we lost all our money.

You know what I say?

House always wins.

What if we were the house?

FRANK:
Are you guys

familiar with the cliche,

"It's a cliche because it's true"?

Well, that cliche about cliches

being true has never been more true

than right now with the cliche,

"The house always wins."

- What?

- FRANK:
Okay?

Now, we stand to make

four years' tuition in one month.

One month, guys. Think about that.

This is the most impressive

thing you've ever done, Frank.

- KATE:
Um...

- Thanks, Scott.

- I'm very wary to go into business with you.

- Noted.

- However, we know why we need the money.

- Yes.

What's in it for you?

Well, full disclosure, the

bank has foreclosed on my home.

- Oh, Frank.

- Ah. There we go.

So, this money would

help me get that back.

That's pretty much why Raina left me.

KATE:
No, that's not why Raina left you.

It's because you started

gambling on golf...

- Yeah.

- True. Well, not just golf, but okay.

And you developed an online porn addiction.

Okay, it's not an addiction if you can

quit any time you want, which I can.

- Then stop.

- I don't want to right now.

Listen, I know I'm throwing a lot of

numbers at you guys, lot of financials.

But let's not take away from the

fact that this is gonna be fun.

Okay, but we're not

doing it for fun, right?

- Eh...

- No, we aren't. No.

- It's work.

- I think we're saying the same thing, all of us.

Work hard, play hard. Everybody has fun.

I think this slide will explain it.

FRANK:
Hey-oh! (LAUGHS)

- FRANK:
Look at that!

- Well, it just says "fun."

- FRANK:
It's fun.

- SCOTT:
But it just says "fun."

Yeah, it's gonna be a great time,

probably the best time of our lives.

And we're gonna make crazy money.

The graphics are great, but

it doesn't help us. It doesn't.

I have one last slide to show you,

and I think it's the most important.

Check this out.

Look at Alex, right? Here she is.

She's gone to college, Bucknell,

top of her class,

built her own company.

If she doesn't go to college,

boom! She's a homeless prostitute.

She's a runaway on the streets,

selling her tiny body for money.

I don't like this. This is

very emotionally manipulative.
