The Winner Page #3

Synopsis: A story about a man who can't seem to do anything but win at the tables in Vegas. This, of course, brings hustlers out of the woodwork intent on using him for financial gain. One of them is the man's brother who, incidentally, is trying to find who it was that killed their father, while still another is a woman who has schemes of her own. Couple all of this with drug kingpins and general thugs and you have a comedy with a fresh twist on surviving in Vegas.

If he puts all that

down and wins,

there's our 150,000.

We pay off Kingman,

we still have

$100,000 to spare.

Do you see how beautiful

life can be?

Louise, don't

look at me that way.

You know how it makes me feel.

It's good to feel, Jack.

You know what

I'm talkin' about.

You want to hear me say it?

Is that it? I think I can

get it up this time.

Why torture yourself, Jack?

We have a good thing,

don't we?

We understand each other.

Why mess with it?

A lot of people want

your lover boy to lose.

Kingman wants him to lose.

Yeah, but, see,

he is not gonna lose.

This is one thing

I know for sure.

Hope you're right.

I know one thing.

You got him.

I watched the two of you.

I don't think he'd suspect you

if you came at him

with a knife in your hand...

And blood coming out

of your eyes.

Louise, Jack,

do you have a light?

What is that?

A joint?

No, it's a roll-up.

I'm sorry. I don't.

This guy is so f***in' weird.

I know.

Talks with that phony French accent.

He's not even French.

I heard he's from New Zealand.

What the f*** is this?

Looks like a rehearsal.

For what? There's nothing

going on here tonight.

Hey, Garson!

Hey!

Get in here.

My name is gaston.

Whatever the f*** it is.

What is this?

I don't understand.

It's my rehearsal.

Could you take it up

in the parking lot?

For you... anything.

Come on, girls.

To the parking.

Now, listen, when you

tear up my place tonight,

do not f*** with

my aquarium or my canopy

over the bed, okay?

Okay.

Or my vase on the dresser.

I hate that f***in' vase.

That's the first thing

that'll go.

Jack, my father gave me

that vase the last time

I saw him, all right?

When was that?

I was 14. He took me

to a bus depot in Detroit.

I'll never forget it.

I've heard the f***in'

vase story, okay?

It was nighttime,

and it was rainin'.

You were cryin',

but you didn't know why.

Don't f*** with my vase.

Is that too much to ask?

Hey, Philip.

My dress, honey.

Ha! Joey was dyin'

to meet ya.

He saw you playin'.

He was so impressed

with your abilities...

Joseph.

It's a pleasure, Joseph.

Please, to you, it's Joey.

Right. Joey.

Were you lookin'

at wedding rings?

Yeah, I'm getting

married soon.

Hey! Congratulations!

We'll have a party.

That is something.

That's the best thing

about this place.

You can married like that.

I want to write

an article about you.

What?

I want to write an article

about you.

People all over

the place have heard of you,

but nobody really knows you.

There's people out there

who don't believe you exist.

I want to write a book

about you.

A book?

You just said an article.

An article becomes a series
