Is that your wife?

Excuse me?

For luck.

You'd have to ask her.

May I?

- Go for it.

- I don't think it's a good idea.

- We should just go.

- Just for a moment?

- I'll go.

- Go ahead. It might be fun.

What do we got to lose?

- Well?

- He ain't gonna bite.

You go and see what happens.

- Go ahead.

- We'll be here backing you up.

Thank you.

See if she can get a little

of that money from him.

Do you think

she'll ever come back?

I'm just bullshittir you.

Have a seat.

I've been losing all day long.

You appeared, I win my first hand.

You brought me luck.

I'd say that's a sign.

Wouldrt you?

- Would you like a drink?

- No, thank you.

Candy?

Place your bets.

- Bank side, player side.

- Hundred thousand.

- Any other bets?

- Just like that?

- Just like that.

- All bets set.

Twenty-dollar tie-in.

Not like that.

Sorry.

All bets set. Cards, please.

Turning for the players.

What we want...

what we need...

is a nine.

We don't like that.

Player draws nothing.

Cards for the bank, please.

Bank's a winner with

a natural eight. Pay the bank.

I guess I'm not so lucky

after all.

Do you like cards?

Not especially.

Wish I had asked you sooner.

Dice?

Yeah, I guess so.

Sam.

Mr. G.

One.

Excuse me, Mr. G.

- Maybe I should go.

- This shouldn't take too long.

- What?

- This.

Now...

I hope you find this

interesting.

Pit. Tadross.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir, it's here now.

Yes, sir.

- I'll take it.

- I understand.

Yes, sir. Thank you.

Goes for $ 1 million.

It's a bet.

That's a lot of money.

There you are, Mr. G.

One million dollars.

Oh, boy!

Bet it all.

Excuse me.

Coming out.

Crap 11 or any 7.

This time it is a come out roll.

How much goes now? Get 'em down.

Pick two.

Now just throw a seven.

You wanna throw an 11,

that's all right too.

Arert you forgetting something?

Winner!

Winner seven.

Everyone.

Think I oughta quit now?

I think I should.

Credit my account.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Sweetie, that was amazing.

That was incredible.

Oh, my God! Unbelievable.

Hi. John Gage.

Oh, hi. David Murphy.

- Hi, David.

- Congratulations.

This is my wife Diana.

I guess you met.

Hi. Diana?

- Diana.

- Hi. Thank you both.

Very generous of you, David.

Are you staying at the hotel?

- Actually, we're just leaving.

- You're leaving?

- We're on our way out.

- No, don't do that.

We got to celebrate.

Let me arrange a room for you here.

- That's very nice, but...

- I insist.

Please, it's the least I can do.

Okay?

Really, just sign for it.

Anything you want.

Oh, there's some lovely shops

off the lobby.

Have you seen 'em?

Let's go.

How 'bout that?

Wow.

Hey, D. What do you think?

Godfather?

You won a million dollars today.

He won it.

You won it for him.

This feels nice.

Don't get it.

Just stay right here.

- Okay.

- Okay?

Hello. William Shackleford.

Hi. David Murphy.

For Mrs. Murphy,

from John Gage.

- Oh, well, thank him for us.

- I'll do that.

Mr. Gage is hosting a gathering

tonight at his suite at 9:00.

If you can find the time in your

schedule, he'd be most pleased.

- Look what you got.

- What?

Gift from Gage.

Really?

Open it up.

That's $5,000.

How do you know that?

I saw it in a store downstairs.

Oh. Lucky for him

you like black.

Yeah.

It's not the pale moon

That excites me

That thrills

And delights me

Oh, no

It's just the nearness

Of you

It's not your

Sweet

Conversation

That brings

This sensation

Oh, no

It's just the nearness

Of you

In the future, just check into

a hotel and start all over again.

Stick 'em under the sheets.

That's strange. Am I right?

- Good night.

- Thanks.

Who is that guy, Shackleford?

Someone who works for me.

Someone I trust.

He killed someone once.

Tell me...

where do you see yourself

in, say, ten years?

I wouldn't mind being

a billionaire like yourself.

Nice shot.

I mean, beyond money.

What would satisfy you completely,

let you sleep well at night?

What, are you saying

you're not satisfied?

Who is?

I am.

She mean it?

I hope so.

Well, then you may not have won

in Vegas, but you're a lucky man...

'cause I got money, security,

I have businesses...

but you have something

that I just don't have.

I guess there's limits

to what money can buy.

Not many.

Some things aren't for sale.

Such as?

You can't buy people.

That's naive, Diana.

I buy people every day.

In business, maybe, but not

when real emotions are involved.

You're saying you can't buy love?

That's a bit of a clich.

It's absolutely true.

Is it?

What do you think?

- I agree with Diana.

- You do?

Let's test the clich.

Suppose...

I were to offer you $ 1 million...

for one night with your wife.

I'd assume you're kidding.

Let's pretend I'm not.

What would you say?

He'd tell you to go to hell.

I didn't hear him.

I'd tell you to go to hell.

That's a reflex answer because

you view it as hypothetical.

But let's say that there were

real money behind it.

I'm not kidding.

A million dollars.

The night would come and go,

but the money could last a lifetime.

Think of it.

A million dollars.

A lifetime of security...

for one night.

Don't answer right away.

But consider it.

Seriously.

We're positive, okay?

Then you've answered my question

and you've proved your point.

There are limits

to what money can buy.

It's late, and I hate to admit it,

but I have a meeting.

May I have one dance?

Of course, with your permission.

You know something? I think you

better get on to that meeting.

You don't want to miss out

on your next billion.

Understood.

I wouldn't part with her either.

Good night.

Can't sleep?

No.

Me neither.

I just keep thinking about it.

It's so weird, isn't it?

Yeah.

David, I think you

want me to do it.

What are you talking about?

Don't be ridiculous.

Well, maybe we should

just talk about it.

I don't want you to do it.

- But you'd let me do it?

- No.

Why? Do you want to do it?

No.

But I would.

I'd do it for you.

For me?

I can't believe

we're even talkir about this.

Think about what this money

could do for us...

what it could do

for our future.

You could finish your house.

You could pay your dad back...

get rid of our debts.

After all,

it wouldn't mean anything.

It's just my body.

It's not my mind.

It's not my heart.

You think we could

do something like that?

We both slept with other people

before we were married, right?

Yeah.

So we'd just have to

look at it like that.

I slept with Bubba Aruzio,

for God's sake.

If I can sleep with Bubba,

I can sleep with anyone.

- You slept with Bubba?

- You knew.

No, I didn't know that.

When did you sleep with Bubba?

When you were off sleeping

with that slut, Olivia Daigle.

Olivia Deagle.

And she wasrt a slut.

Olivia Beagle.

Let me in.

- She wasrt a slut.

- Yes, she was.

- She wasrt.

- She was.

She wasrt.

Unfortunately.

Thank God we can laugh about it.

Yeah.

That's easy to say now.

After...

We'd just have to forget
