Honeymoon in Vegas Page #3

I think you got nothin'.

That's your constitutional right.

OK. That's the kind of game

we're going to play...

That's five to me...

...and...

I raise you 8,000.

Tommy, I thought

we were playing for fun.

This is fun.

# Wise men say

# Only fools rush in

Eddie, please.

We may have to institute

a ban on singing here.

I'll see the eight grand.

I'll raise you ten.

Can I borrow 21 grand, please?

Twenty-one grand?

You know you can buy

a friggin' Volvo for 21 grand? Turbo?

I know what I'm doin'.

- You got some guts, kid.

- It's not guts. It's realism.

There's 83 grand in there.

Jackson, what's the word?

I'll see it...

...and I'll raise you ten.

25,000 more, please.

This kid's got some set of balls.

Am I right?

My hat's off to you, kid.

My shirt too, probably,

the way you play.

To you.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.

Well, might as well

go down in flames.

What do you got?

Sorry, man.

Straight flush to the jack.

That's... That's one for the books.

To the queen.

That's a tough break.

Would you like a fruit plate?

I'm not assessing any blame here.

But the reality is that you're

in a tremendous amount of trouble.

- If I go to a loan shark...

- Loan shark?

What loan shark's

going to give you 65,000?

If you haven't got it,

there's no way you can pay it back.

If you can, give it to me.

- I can't.

- Nonpayment of debts.

That's extremely serious everywhere.

I mean, among people. Among countries,

governments... They don't give a sh*t.

Am I right? They stiff everybody.

But...

... individuals...

They are expected to pay debts.

Especially gambling debts.

That's the essence of gambling.

You risk something.

If you put up money

you haven't got and can't get...

That's the lowest.

People...

People can get badly injured.

Jack, I'm talking physically.

Maybe we could work out something

over a period of a couple years.

Hey, what do you think?

You're buying a damn washer and dryer?

You owe Tommy Korman $65,000,

you understand?

Look, I'll rack my brain.

It's all right. I already racked mine.

- Do you have a solution?

- I do.

I want...

...your girlfriend for the weekend.

Betsy?

How do you know Betsy?

I don't... I don't know Betsy.

I don't know her.

I saw her over there in the lobby.

See, my wife Donna...

May she rest in peace...

They look identical.

I mean, they could be twins.

Now, I'm willing

to wipe out the 65 bills...

...if you let me

spend the weekend with her.

We're getting married tonight.

No, no, no, not tonight.

After the weekend.

And, Jack,

I'll be a perfect gentleman.

I just want company.

She won't agree to this.

If she loves you,

she'll agree to this.

May I have

your attention, please.

Hi!

Bally's Casino Resort

is pleased to announce...

another $12,000 winner...

on one of Bally's

hot 97 percent dollar slot machines.

Congratulations to the winner.

What happened?

We, uh...

We have to have a serious talk.

- Are you out of your mind?

- I said you wouldn't do it.

- Is that what you really said?

- Of course. What do you think?

And he actually said, "If she

spends the weekend with me,

you owe me nothing?"

- Yes.

- I am so nauseous.

You don't think

this is totally killing me?

You know, I had this feeling when you

left, then I talked myself out of it.

- Something about this is not right.

- Listen. Just forget I mentioned it.

- There's options.

- Like what?

Neither of us has any money.

God, Jack! What did he say?

He wants me to walk around

in her clothes?

- He wasn't that specific.

- How could you put me in this position?

What do you think? I knew it was coming?

I wanted this to happen?

- I was completely blindsided.

- I still don't understand this.

You went in there with $500.

We had this whole discussion.

I had a straight flush!

Do you know what a straight flush is?

It's, like, unbeatable.

"Like unbeatable" is not "unbeatable. "

Hey, I know that now, OK?

Don't yell at me! I hate this place!

I won't sleep with him,

no matter who he is.

Are you crazy? Of course not.

That's not even a consideration.

- No?

- No!

What if he holds a gun to my head?

Betsy, he's a gambler,

he's not a gangster.

He was a garment center guy

originally.

Oh, he was a garment center guy.

Well, that's a relief.

- I'm not saying it's great.

- Look at all these families here.

Happy families.

I'm a whore, Jack.

You've made me into a whore.

Honey, you don't think this is

destroying me? I don't know what to do.

You brought me to Las Vegas,

and you turned me into a whore, Jack!

Shh! Let's just

forget about this, all right?

This is insanity,

and somehow I'll get the money.

From whom?

My parents don't have it.

"One weekend," he said.

Yes.

- I can't.

- And I don't want you to.

This is nuts!

It's eight to five

you're going to need root canal.

Ah.

Dental Health Associates.

Jack, how are ya?

I'm in the midst

of an emotional disaster here.

Sally, don't start. Just listen.

What are my chances

of getting 65 grand by 8:00 Vegas time?

Bad week here, Jack.

I got killed on the Indiana game.

That was a 12-point spread.

Who do you owe?

No sh*t. Hey, Sid.

Jack Singer owes

Tommy Korman 65 grand.

- He's heard of him.

- Oh, great.

I'd hate to be shacked up

with a small-timer.

You're not "shacked up. " Will you stop

making it worse than it is?

I can't make it worse than it is.

Don't screw around with him.

Has he got an alternative?

Good. Then take it.

And don't ask no questions.

Poor bastard.

# Run your fingers through my hair

and cuddle me real tight

- # Oh, let me be

- # Oh, let him be

# Oh, teddy bear...

You guys just... just...

We're fine.

- I'll be up in the room.

- OK.

Or hanging around the... casino.

Sounds great.

So, I'll see you in, like, what?

Two... two and a half hours?

Hey, tops.

This is a get-acquainted meeting.

OK...

All right.

# Like a river flows

# Surely to the sea

# Darling, so it goes

# Some things was meant to be

# Take my hand...

Here's what I think:

The game was fixed.

The game was clean. He lost.

With a straight flush?

Yeah. These... These things happen.

Do you know what the odds are? They're,

like, three billion to one against.

- I looked it up.

- You looked it up?

You look... You know what

I used to call Donna? Perry Mason.

- Whatever I said, she had an answer.

- And you resented that.

Oh, no! No, it was like a game.

Like if I said, "I want to buy a Linc,"

and she goes, "No, no, no,

buy a Cadillac, because consumers

say that the repair ratio... "

Yadda, yadda, yadda.

You know, it never ended.

- You read a lot, I bet, huh?

- Yeah. Well, I'm a teacher.

You're a teacher?

I had no idea.

- A teacher.

- Ready?

Absolutely.

Place your bets.

It's extremely important that I win.

- I'll see what I can do for you.

- Cigarettes?

Yeah. Absolutely.

# Take my hand

# Take my whole life too

# I can't help

# Falling in love with you...

Yeah, so by '85, it...

...spread all over the place.
