Things Change Page #4

there is, of course, no bill.

Your money's no good in this hotel.

Mr. Johnson, you have beautiful hands.

And a lovely treatment

of the hands, if I may say so.

An excellent choice.

Clean, without being austere.

Mr. Johnson,

it's been a pleasure.

It's always a pleasure to

clothe a man of your physique.

You honor us, sir, with your custom.

Telephone call for Mr. Dowd.

Telephone call for Mr. Dowd.

Yes, yes, yes.

Okay, wanna pass?

Clothes don't make the man.

I make the man.

You understand me?

Just because we got new clothes.

Something to drink?

Scotch, please.

Nothing for me.

I'm here to gamble.

Place your bets.

Place your bets.

Here we go.

Blackjack.

And here we go.

Give me five on the 9, five on the 19,

and five for you, dealer.

Round and round she goes.

No more bets.

Where she stops, nobody knows.

Good luck.

And the number is...

You gotta put money in it.

We're taking reservations for both shows.

I'll be with you in a moment.

Give me $20. We'll have

two wonderful days.

I understand.

We aren't gonna go crazy.

Two days, then we go back-a to Chicago.

That's absolutely right.

10:
00 Monday morning,

28th district.

I wear the gray overcoat.

I see the son of a b*tch.

Had three shots in the heart.

How do you feel?

Tight but aggressive?

Okay.

Good.

May I help you, gentlemen?

Yeah, give me $20.

Everything all right, gentlemen?

No, we just...

Whatever credit these gentlemen

require, there's no limit.

And I mean no limit.

$20.

Yeah.

No, no. I think...

I'm making a joke here.

Just give me a thousand.

Gimme a thousand bucks.

Tab it.

Would you like a table for the late show?

Jackie Shore, Constellation Room.

- In the back.

- $1,000.

May I have a moment, please?

Excuse me.

If you got the name, go get the game.

Let's gamble.

Okay.

No, hey, this is for show.

Play what you got in your pocket.

If there's anything I can do... Thanks.

Jerry, I never win nothing.

Maybe we can fix that.

Jerry.

Not even you can fix something like this.

Not even me?

Not even you.

Not even someone like me?

Hey, put it in.

Put it in!

Hey, wait a second.

There is something you could do for me.

I'd like to give Mr. Johnson

a little treat.

Absolutely, sir.

Could we arrange for him,

as a lark, to win a little?

To win?

Just a little.

To win at the casino?

Just a little. Just $50, $100,

as a thrill. Can you do that?

Well... Whatever it is, I'll make it up.

You'll pay it back?

That's what I'm sayin'.

Broke so soon?

Hey, the slots are cold.

Let's try something else.

Twelve.

Twelve.

This table open?

Yes, sir, it is.

Okay, you got black,

you got red, you got numbers.

What do you want to bet?
