Honeymoon in Vegas Page #4

See, that's the thing

about these melanomas.

It's just a... It's just a little piece

of skin. You lift it off like nothing.

The next thing you know,

you're taking CAT scans and...

...it spreads to the lung and the liver.

I'm sorry.

She was pretty young?

Thirty-eight.

What are you gonna do?

- Do you have kids?

- Oh, yeah. Two. Boy and a girl.

Chris and Ally.

They were teenagers then.

Chris, he's married now.

Just out of law school.

He's practicing in Boston.

And... Ally, she's at Bennington.

Fighting off her poetry professor.

She's a knockout.

Chris, you'll meet him this weekend.

- Is he coming here?

- No, he'll join us in Hawaii.

Twenty, twenty, twenty.

No. Twenty doesn't feel good.

Nineteen feels good.

No more bets.

The deal was for the weekend.

Didn't have to be Vegas.

Could be anywhere.

That wasn't my understanding.

I got a place in Kauai.

It's right on the beach.

It'll knock your socks off.

Chris'll be there, his wife, baby.

Be a real family time.

Twenty. Black even.

Place your bets.

Hi, old-timer.

Are you feeling lucky?

Actually, I'm not.

- Betsy!

- Hi.

- So what's the story?

- I have to pack.

We can leave!

What did you work out?

He's taking me to Hawaii.

- It's only for a few days.

- Come on.

You're so, like, blithe about this all

of a sudden, like you don't give a damn!

Of course I give a damn, but this

was not my idea. Poker was not my idea.

Would you please

stop crucifying me with this?

Have you seen my bag?

He's going to jump all over you

the second he gets there.

And I'll let him?

Give me a little credit.

He'll overcome you.

What happens if you start screaming?

It's like a jungle over there!

He probably has servants and bodyguards,

and believe me, they will drug you!

His son is going to be there.

His granddaughter Tiffany will be there.

She knows the kid's name already.

OK.

- Marry me tonight.

- No.

- No? Why not?

- Because I don't believe you.

If you really wanted to marry me,

you would've done it this afternoon.

Yes, this is the Ali Baba Suite.

I have some bags

that have to be brought down.

Yes, thank you.

You were looking

for a way to get out of this.

I mean, you don't have to be Freud

to figure that one out.

I was not looking!

Listen... You'll be back Monday?

I don't know.

Probably Tuesday or Wednesday.

Tuesday or Wednesday!

That's almost a week!

What, you expect us to fly

back and forth to Hawaii in two days?

"Us"? Already it's "us. "

Don't be infantile!

I'm trying to make the best of this!

Well, you're doing great!

Hey, Mr. Straight Flush.

We got a free seat.

- Where's Tommy?

- He just left for Hawaii.

What are you talking about, just left?

The phone rang.

They said the car was ready.

What? He left already?

I don't know about this.

See, you gotta

think about it like this:

You're doing this

to get Jack off the hook.

And your going away makes him realize

how nuts he is about you.

And he appreciates you double

when you come back.

He agreed to this,

so he's got to be... what?

- Ambivalent?

- Yeah. Right.

Stop! No!

Much of the guesswork

is removed from poker

with any of the following hands:

A full house, four of a kind,

or the emperor of all hands:

The invincible,

unbeatable straight flush.

I have to get out of here.

This is amazing.

Ah... Thank you.

I like it.

It's a place

for quiet reflection. Niko...

See, I said to him,

"How's the weather?" in Hawaiian...

and then he said,

"Great. It's in the 80s. Low humidity. "

- He doesn't speak English?

- Fluently, thank you.

Welcome to Hawaii.

You know, Mr. Korman

is like a god over here.

Hey, Niko, please.

You're really embarrassing me here.

I don't believe this.

This... This'll be your room.

God, this is breathtaking.

I...

I rebuilt it about a year ago.

My home by the sea.

You can probably

knock off the Hawaiian now.

Oh?

- I've impressed you enough, then?

- More than enough.

God. I've been to the Caribbean...

The Caribbean? You know who goes

to the Caribbean? Dentists.

That's who goes to the Caribbean.

- It's so beautiful.

- Yeah.

You know, we have a...

We have a name

for this time of day here.

Waka-waka?

It's close.

Time of enchantment.

What did I tell you?

- You got this in the mail?

- Under my door at home.

Mr. Tomashefsky, it's a joke!

I mean, it's not even close.

Of course you'd say that. You thought I

was nuts when I come in here originally.

Now, I got hard evidence.

Here.

Look for yourself.

Believe me.

I have no ax to grind here.

I think your pals at work

are having a little fun with you.

You don't know what it's like.

You don't know what it's like...

...to have the woman you love

off with someone,

and you can't do

a goddamn thing about it!

Some smooth talker

with his greasy hands all over her!

Coming up behind, grabbing her.

Her, laughing and laughing...

Her head thrown back!

Him... leaning against her...

...this creepy smile on his face.

A smile she can't even see!

Soon, he starts moving his hands

around her...

...grabbing her...

...touching her...

...fondling her, groping...

Shut up!

Are you trying

to give me a heart attack?

Yeah, hi, operator. I need

a listing for a Tommy Korman

or a T. Korman in Kauai.

"Where in Kauai?"

I have no idea.

There are sections of Kauai?

Uh-huh.

Well, no. Not off the top of my head.

What about near where

Don Ho or Jack Lord lives?

That must be

a pretty good neighborhood.

Yeah. OK. I see. Well, thank you!

It's not just because

you look like Donna.

- Oh, it has to be.

- No. It was.

I mean, it was.

But it's not anymore.

I mean, for one thing,

you're a lot smarter than she was.

God forgive me for saying that.

Look. I've got to say

something else too.

You're pissin' your life away

on a guy that can't pull the trigger

on marrying you.

We were gonna get married.

With me, I'd have gone right from the

airport to the chapel to marry you.

- What did he do?

- You have to understand Jack.

This man, he decided to play poker.

That's what this man did.

- He had a very strange mother.

- He played poker.

He's a...

He's a great... a great guy, I'm sure.

I'm just sayin'...

I'm just sayin' think about it

before you marry him.

- Just...

- Hey, Dad! Dad!

- There are the kids.

- How far is Mount Kilauea from here?

It's on the other island. Why?

We heard it's erupting.

We gotta go. We gotta go.

Listen.

Did I upset you?

Because if I did, I...

No. I mean, you touched a nerve.

Look. It's just,

Jack is very complicated.

Yeah.

You see, I've known guys

like him my whole life.

Decent, good guys.

They're real good guys.

But they cause a lot of heartache.

I don't think you deserve that.

I think you deserve a lot better.

Winds out of the northwest

at seven miles per hour.

It's currently cloudy

with a chance of...

Take a look, everybody.

The Oleg Cassini men's...

Mother Nature

put on a show yesterday...

as Hawaii's Mount Kilauea erupted.
