too much use for $25,000.

But me and Al could sure use

an extra $20 a week.

So we figure we give you the $25,000...

and in exchange,

you give us $20 a week until we die.

What do you say?

I don't know what to say.

Just say okay.

-Okay.

-All right, then. It's settled.

-Boy, am I glad that's all over with.

-Yeah.

Me, too.

Poor Willie never even got to spend

any of the dough.

What are you gonna do

with all that money anyways?

I don't know.

Do you wanna go to the movies?

I didn't mean right now. I mean...

-you know.

-No, I don't know.

What? 20 years from now?

-So?

-I don't know.

Maybe you wanna go out to the track

and bet on a couple of races.

Too tired.

Maybe you ought to take some vitamins.

Now that we've got some money, we can

afford to get some vitamins for you.

-They don't do anything for you.

-No, I hear they do.

-They say they give you energy.

-Yeah?

That's what they say. I don't know.

For the first time in 15 years,

I feel like I need a vacation.

Why don't we take some of that money

and go to Hawaii or Miami...

someplace nice like that?

-Yeah?

-Why the hell not?

Let's go out to Las Vegas.

I always had to be a $2 bettor.

Now I could do some real gambling,

and you can get some rest.

Sounds good to me.

-How do we get there?

-I don't know. Plane, I guess.

I've never been on a plane before.

Neither have l. So what?

We're only young once.

-How much money did you get?

-Took along around $5,000.

-Think that ought to be enough?

-I think we'll be able to squeak by on that.

-Got everything in there?

-Everything.

Got us clothes, underwear, everything.

Toothbrushes, everything we need.

And I picked these up for you.

-What's this?

-Vitamins.

-Thank you.

-You're welcome.

-To the airport.

-Which one?

-The big one.

-Kennedy?

That's it.

-That's it. We're on our way.

-That's it?

-You just buy the tickets and that's it?

-That's it.

It's amazing.

Don't need no reservations or nothing?

Guess not.

-What time do we have to be on the plane?

-ln about three minutes.

Three minutes?

-What's that rumbling sound?

-You asking me?

Joe, the wings are shaking.

Just close your eyes

and don't worry about it.

Oh, my God.

My God in Heaven.

Gentlemen.

Right this way, sir.

-Pass on the eight.

-Point is six, shooter.

Nine in the field.

Point is six now. Six to win. Your roll now.

Ten the hard way.

Two fives the hard way, ten. Here they go.

Make your bets, to the line of six.

Six will win the money.

Do you understand any of this?

It looks the same like we used to play

during World War l...

except here it looks

a little more comfortable.

Point is six now. Six to a win.

Nine, up field nine.

Could we get $2,500

worth of chips, please?

Change coming in.

On a six. Six will win.

Ten. Ten, easy.

-Make sure that's right, will you?

-Change only.

-You know what you're doing?

-I think so.

$35 right here on the left.

-Give him $2,500 worth of chips.

-Okay, thanks.

-Right.

-Point is six, shooter.

Six to win. Here they roll.

Seven out. Line away. No six.

Seven out, last comes in. Don'ts get paid.

-You lose, then?

-He lost, yeah.

All right, here we go.

A new shooter coming out.

-You'll be the shooter, sir?

-I pass the dice.

-All right, which shooter's next?

-What does that mean? I go?

-Just pick up two and throw them.

-Here they go.

-Bet them now, now's the chance.

-Pick up two of the dice?

Yeah, just pick up two of the dice.

-You need to make a bet, sir.

-$100 on the line.

-Throw them nice now.

-Just two?

Just two.

All right, here they go. Let it roll.

-All right. Throw them.

-They roll, they go....

-Five, put them on five.

-Do you give odds on the five?

-Three-to-two, sir.

-I'd like to put another $200 on the five.

-Place your money here.

-Okay, there you are.

Sir, you must hit the end rail

every time you throw the dice.

-Okay, I'm sorry.

-That's quite all right, sir.

They've got to roll all the way down,

hit that, and come back?

-Roll again. Same shooter.

-Same two dice?

Shoot them right up, sir.

Here we go. Want a five.

Five will win. Eight. It is the eight.

-What does eight mean?

-Nothing. Five is what we want.

-A three and a two. A four and a one.

-Coming out again, bet them up.

Crap for eleven, seven. Now's the time.

-Get them down and roll.

-Throw a five.

-Quick. Throw in a four and a five--

-Five.

-Five a winner.

-Attaboy, Al.

$25 limit. Who else? Crap for 11.

-Okay.

-One bet, high 11.

$300 on the line says my friend Al

throws them right.

-Throw it.

-Here they go. They roll.

I'm betting $300.

-Do it.

-They roll. They go....

Seven winner!

Winner seven.

We just won $300.

We're ahead about $600.

-Another $300.

-Coming out again. Let it roll.

Another $300.

Seven a winner!

We're winning a fortune.

Look at this, $500 chip.

-Okay, another $500 on the line.

-Another $500 on the line.

Here they go. They roll.

-Do it!

-Yo 11!

Eleven.

Coming out again. Bet them up.

Pretty good, Al. Eleven.

-$1,000 on the line.

-Sir, this table has a $500 limit.

You must be kidding. Is this a kid's game?

You can make another bet in the field

or a come bet or place bet...

but $500 is all you can bet per number.

Okay, pal, $500 on the four.

$500 each?

-Four, five...

-$500 five.

...$500 on the six...

$500 on the eight...

$500 on the nine...

-and $500 on the 10.

-You're all set.

Now we've got everything covered.

-What do I do now?

-Just throw the dice.

Just throw the dice and shut up.

Stay away from that seven. No seven now.

Let's go.

Five, five. No field.

-Al, you're a genius.

-I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

Don't worry about it.

You just throw those numbers,

and let me handle this.

The point is five, shooter.

You need to make a five to win.

I've got to shoot for five?

Shoot just numbers. Five, four...

-I'm just asking. Five or what?

-...six, eight, anything but a seven.

-No sevens.

-No seven.

Five a winner.

Five! We've got another five. Attaboy, Al.

$1,000 right there. Look at that.

Come on, keep throwing those numbers.

Where're the dice?

-Let's have the bones.

-Give the man the bones.

He's got the bones. Throw the bones out!

Do it.

Nine.

Here we are. We get some more money.

You throw the dice,

and I keep collecting money, Al.

Put her right there.

I don't wanna reach.

I don't wanna hurt myself.

How about that?

This is amazing.

-A--

-Number!

Eight.

-Eight. This is crazy.

-How much are we ahead?

-I can't lift it.

-Give me half.

No, you throw the dice.

Here they go. They roll. They're in the air.

-Do it.

-Four the hard way!

The hard way four.

Get some real money.

Here we are. We better put them in here.

Three red chips, any time. Another $1,000.

Wanna give me another $1,000

for three red chips?

Trying to be funny.

Boy, I bet Willie

would've enjoyed all of this.

Yeah. Willie, I hope you're watching this.

What am I talking about?

Probably setting it all up for us.
