Pretty soon there's not gonna be
any Nevada left.
And wors gonna get to Atlantic City
long before you do.
Then where are you going to go?
Puerto Rico? The Bahamas?
Look, wherever it is, I guarantee you,
Harold will be waiting with open arms...
by the time your plane lands.
And I gotta tag along,
and I hate the f***ing tropics.
I want to say something to you
that I never said to anybody before.
Wait, I want to say something first...
- something I've never said to anyone before.
- Yeah, what?
Help me murder Harold.
What?
- Murder?
- Yeah, murder.
- Shut up!
- Why? Who can hear us?
What do you think would happen
if you and I just ran off together?
- I'm not afraid of him. If he comes after you...
- No, is me.
Don't you understand?
Supposing you and I had a fight sometime,
and I storm out.
A voice in my head will say,
"Go back to where you belong."
And I'll find myself knocking on his door
all over again.
So I have to knock the guy off
because you're an idiot?
No, you don't have to knock the guy off.
You can go tend bar. You can pump gas.
You can sell aluminum siding.
You can do anything.
Anything except
the one thing you love to do.
The one thing you do the best.
If you quit, you're letting Harold beat you,
not just at blackjack.
He beats you at life.
As long as Harold is alive, you're a loser.
Yeah, I'm also not in jail for murder.
- You're still hoping to beat him.
- Yeah, thas part of it.
I just don't know where I'm at, you know?
You're at the end of the line, Willie.
And that is why
That there's a new moon up above
Is cherry pink and apple blossom white
When you're in love!
Hey, everybody, remember this dance?
Get up, you little bunnies
And hop, hop, hop!
- Come on up. Come on. Oh, sure you can.
- No, I can't.
Go ahead. They'll teach you.
You're here. Oh, God. You're two hours late.
I thought you died or something.
I'm sorry. I couldn't get away before.
Whas on your mind?
I can't talk now.
I'm in the middle of a medley.
I'm on my break. I only got five minutes.
Whas it about?
It was serious. About Harold.
I wanted to tell you the plan.
- I've figured the whole thing out.
- Yeah, I was afraid of that.
- Spit it out.
- Is the greatest plan.
Harold comes home, I slip him a mickey,
he passes out...
then I put a plastic bag over his head,
and thas it.
- Thas it?
- Yeah, thas it!
Thas so stupid!
I missed my coffee break for this?
- What will the cops think?
- They'll never see it.
Harold and the trailer go over a cliff.
There'll be only smoke and ashes.
I got the whole thing figured out.
- You don't need me for anything.
- Wait a second. Dead men can't drive.
You've gotta get the trailer
up to the cliff, and over.
Really? And how am I supposed
to get back from this cliff?
- You want me to hitchhike? Is that it?
- Wait a second, honey. I'm in this.
Mama loves mambo
Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Look at 'em sway with it
Feeling okay with it
Shouting ol with it, wow!
Papa loves mambo
Mama loves mambo
Papa does great with it
Swing like a gate with it
He goes to
She goes fro
He goes fast
She goes slow
He goes left
She goes right
Papa's lookin' for mama
But mama is nowhere in sight
Jesus! This isn't a medley, is a track meet.
Honey, help me light these things, okay?
Where was I?
- You were telling me how I get back.
- Oh, yeah. On a motorcycle.
What motorcycle?
The one we buy and stash
- Know what you get at the end of the ride?
- $250,000, Willie.
- Great. I'll be able to buy my way out ofjail.
- Where are you gonna get the cash?
- Harols life insurance.
The last time he put me in the hospital,
he took out a policy...
and he named me the beneficiary
to make up for the broken bones.
All I want for us is a second chance.
You know?
Oh, kiss me.
Gotta go.
Okay, everybody, make a wish.
I wish I was back in Washoe!
- I love you, you know that?
- I'm so glad, 'cause I love you, too.
And we're gonna get our second chance.
- Well, I reckon it looks pretty good.
- Far as I know, it is.
I was wondering if you might let me
take it for a quick spin, just to make sure.
Not at all. Provided you let me hold
the $500 while you're doing it.
Why, of course. Got it right here.
There you are. $500.
Thank you.
- Good night.
- Pleasure doing business with you.
Hello?
- Willie?
- Yeah?
- He's back.
- He is?
Yeah, he's taking a nap.
- Willie, he's gonna go for broke.
- When?
- Tomorrow.
- Jesus.
Yeah, I know is soon.
- Did you get the bike?
- Yeah, I got it.
- Where'd you put it?
- In the parking lot at MGM Casino.
Parking lot? Somebody could steal it.
If somebody steals it, is a sign
we shouldn't go through with this.
Don't be negative. You getting nervous?
What, me? Nervous?
No. Why should I be nervous?
Jesus, Bonita, I just laid out $500
for the bike...
over $250 for the gear.
What more do you want from me?
A phone call from the casino tomorrow
saying that everything's okay...
and that you're gonna go ahead.
- Okay, whas the number?
- 555-88...
No, wait a minute.
- All right, go ahead.
- 555-8810.
- 8810.
- You'll call me, right?
Yeah, now, where is this famous cliff
that I'm supposed to dump him at?
Okay...
Yeah.
- Tonighs the night. I'm gonna bust him.
- Tonight?
Sh*t, thas too bad.
I mean, he's such a nice young guy.
What the hell you call him that for?
I don't know.
Just a figure of speech, I guess.
I'm gonna break him into little bitty pieces
and use his bones for poker chips.
and destroy some poor soul...
who never harmed a hair on his head.
I'm his Jonah.
Every time I come on board his boat,
I bring him bad luck. Thas my power.
But, baby doll, don't you remember
the original Jonah in the Bible?
He didn't like bringing people bad luck.
- I'm different.
- I know.
- You love it.
- You bet your ass I love it.
Lots of luck, Harold.
- Hello?
- Tonight? You said tomorrow.
- I know. But he couldn't wait.
I'll see you at the casino.
No. I'm not coming in tonight.
I phoned in sick.
To tell you the truth, I don't feel so hot.
- Is probably your nerves.
- Yeah. So is on?
Yeah, providing I don't beat him.
All I want to do is get rid of my jinx.
No jinx, no murder.
You can't beat him. I'll be waiting here
for your phone call, okay?
Yeah.
Hiya, dealer.
Milt, look, he's here again.
Hundreds, please.
Jesus. Maybe I should have wore
a tie tonight.
Looks like your friend is going for the kill.
Just give me the ball, coach,
and I'll run for daylight.
I hope so, kid.
Id be nice to see a little sunshine.
Eighteen. Pay nineteen.
Thanks, sport.
Bingo.
All right. Twenty-one.
