Losing Diana was like
losing a part of me.
I thought nothing could change
the way we felt about each other.
I thought we were invincible.
Someone once said, "If you
want something very badly...
set it free.
If it comes back to you,
it's yours forever.
If it doesn't,
it was never yours to begin with. "
I knew one thing...
I was David's to begin with...
and he was mine.
You light up my life
We met in high school.
David was a senior,
and I was a freshman.
On Wednesdays
after Glee Club...
he'd drive me and my best friend
home from school.
I used to watch him
in the rearview mirror.
I fell in love with his eyes.
When I was 19, David proposed to me
on the pier at Paradise Cove.
They said we were too young,
we really didn't know each other.
But David said that a life
without risk is like no life at all.
So we eloped.
I graduated
from architecture school...
and got a job
at a small firm.
by selling real estate.
I spent all of my free time
working on a design of my own.
It summed up everything about
architecture that mattered to me.
It was my dream house.
D?
Have I ever told you
I love you?
No.
I do.
Still?
Always.
We had our differences.
He used to take his clothes off
and leave them on the floor.
It made me crazy.
What do you think this is?
Leaving your shoes
on the table?
- What is the problem?
- I don't need to do your laundry!
Honey, I'll pick it up.
You don't have to get violent.
What about this?
Peanut butter sandwich?
Put that down! That is serious.
You're gonna hurt somebody.
- Hurt somebody, huh?
- You're out of your mind.
Okay, now, fine.
Goddamn it!
Come on. Let's just relax.
Did I hurt you?
I'm sorry.
- Really?
- Yeah.
You were kidding?
D, your pants are on fire.
You have no idea.
We never had much money,
so for entertainment...
David would show me architecture
that moved him.
But sometimes I'd have to ask...
"Why are we looking at
a stupid car wash?"
And he'd just say,
"No, not stupid.
Don't just use your eyes. "
He made me look at things
differently.
David, this is a steal.
Nobody even knows about it yet.
- It's beautiful.
- You could build a house here.
Make a name for yourself.
The house will be brilliant because
it will be a David Murphy house.
I found an incredible property
It was the perfect site
for David's house.
- How are we supposed to do it?
- Borrow money, like everybody else.
I'm telling you, these leverage-
stockbroker-buyout guys...
You should see the junk they buy.
They would go crazy
for a house of yours.
It was brilliant, even though I
didn't understand a word of it.
We had to tighten our belts
for the loan payments...
but it was our future,
and I got to build my house.
Then the recession hit.
The real estate market dried up...
in six months.
Construction fell
People were being laid off
everywhere, and I was one of them.
- I feel really bad about this.
- I don't understand. What happened?
The bank has called in
the demand note.
Can they do that?
You don't have any income
right now...
so they could attach
your assets.
What assets?
Your house.
Gotta keep up those payments.
I'm sorry.
David, I'm scared.
We don't have any money.
What are we gonna do?
I'll wait tables
or drive a cab or something.
I'll take care of you.
Make it go away.
I was desperate.
We stood to lose everything...
the house I'd been building,
even our own home.
I swallowed my pride and borrowed
$5,000 from my father.
It wasrt enough.
We needed $50,000.
Money...
D.
- What?
- Get up. Get dressed.
- What's the matter?
- I got an idea. Come on.
- What time is it?
- Chop, chop.
Hi! How you doing? Okay!
Cigars. Cigarettes.
Lighted yo-yos.
- Oh, yeah!
- Oh, my God!
Oh, honey.
That's the spirit!
Keep 'em coming. $50,000!
That's what we want! We're winners!
Go, skinny, skinny!
Put some money in the kitty!
Eleven. It's a winner.
We got a shooter now, folks.
We got a shooter.
A lucky, lucky lady shooter.
Keep it coming.
- Stack it, don't rack it.
- Seven, come!
Nine!
Denzel Washington ain't fine!
- All set, folks?
- Who's the one?
And I have...
Why don't you put it on?
It suits you.
Well, I can't afford it.
That's too bad.
Yup.
I really think
you oughta have the dress.
Let me buy it for you.
You want to buy me this dress?
Yeah.
Why?
You've earned it.
No, I haven't.
The dress is for sale.
I'm not.
Boom! Skinny, skinny!
We got a new shooter now.
Coming out. Seven.
Roll 'em now, girlfriend.
Seven!
Come on now! Come on now!
- How are you doing?
- Can't lose. I'm up over $9,000.
I can't believe it!
- It's so great!
- Hey, this is my wife, D.
These are my girls.
Kiss 'em.
I'm winning 'cause we're winners!
Skinny, skinny!
- Did I ever tell you I love you?
- No.
- I do.
- Still?
Always.
Five thousand.
This little pile here?
You guessed it.
Five more, D.
What do you think this is?
Five more.
Play with it, roll around with it.
Enjoy yourself.
Oh, my.
$25,040.
So we're halfway there,
like, in an hour.
I figure about...
two hours tomorrow,
we'll be home free.
Come here.
What?
I love you.
I know that.
No, I mean
even without the money.
Last call for wagers.
No more bets.
Come on, black.
Here we go. Here we go.
Yes!
All right. Double zero.
No more bets, please.
Yes. We won.
Forty-one hundred.
We said we wouldn't go
below 5,000.
- Do you want any more coffee?
- No, thank you.
Tails, we quit;
heads, we go for it.
Two out of three.
Last call for wagers.
No more bets.
Okay, I'm feeling lucky.
I say we put it on red.
All of it. Red.
I feel red.
Do you feel red, D?
We can do this, huh?
I'm going to put it all.
All right.
I'm puttir it on red.
Okay.
No, it's black.
- What are you doing?
- It's black.
No, it's red. It's red.
Go with your instinct, right?
- No more bets.
- Come on, red.
Gotta get it.
Come on, red. Come on, red.
Too late, young lady.
Place your bets.
Bank side, player side.
All set?
Cards, please.
Turning for the players.
Pass is to the right, please.
Player draws nothing.
Player has zero.
And set.
Player side, banker side.
- Any other bets?
- Who's that guy?
That's John Gage.
He's a damn billionaire.
That's a rich son of a b*tch there.
He's down over
See them little gold things
he's playing with?
Every time he lays one down,
Look at him, how cool he is.
That son of a b*tch must get more
p*ssy than you can shake a stick at.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to offend.
- Player wins.
- What y'all doing, gambling?
It's about time.
- Y'all married?
- Let's go.
- Stick around, gamble a little.
- Excuse me.
Excuse me.
Would you mind
lending me your wife?
