Lucky You Page #2

Some people don't wanna be fixed.

They Iike things just the way they are.

French toast. Bacon on the side.

Fruit. Strawberries only.

Hang on a second, Lucy.

Why don't you just go rest up a Iittle?

We never close.

No time Iike the present, Tommy.

Oh, I should've gotten

away from that.

-Hey, Huck.

-Hi, Huck.

-Have a seat.

-What's going on, Huck?

Fasten your seatbelts. Huck is here.

What's for breakfast?

And don't say "you are."

Eighty-six for Iow.

Eighty-seven.

-Ace wins for high.

-You win the whole pot.

Nice deck.

-Look who's here.

-Good morning, gentlemen.

-Well, he's back.

-Hey, good to see you.

-What's going on?

-Good to see you.

Big Buckle, good to see you.

Sammy, Chau.

-Good to see you.

-Michelle, my belle.

Oh, I've missed you, L.C.

You in town for the tournament?

Yeah, well, someone's gotta try

and stem the tide of those couch potatoes.

-Is there an empty seat?

-Right here between me and Chau.

Twenty thousand.

Couldn't go another World Series

without you, L.C.

So how was the south of France?

French.

They hate our politics,

but they Iove our games...

...I'm happy to say.

Yeah, Iooks Iike the kid

has got the jump on everybody.

He's really hot.

-What's new and different, kid?

-Your hair, for one thing.

Kid tries to bring out the worst in people.

As I get on in years, Iike all human beings,

I become acquainted with vanity.

How about you? Still blasting away?

Thousand to go.

Re-raise.

Nice to play with you again, kid.

What do you say, fellas?

Not a spectator sport.

Five thousand.

How deep are you?

Oh, I've got about eighteen thousand.

Okay.

I'm putting you all-in.

Well, I'm gonna have to call you, L.C...

...because my pretty Iadies

are just dying to step out.

Well, they'II be in good company.

Three Kings.

You son of a b*tch.

You're the only man

I enjoy Iosing money to.

Loan me twenty, L.C.?

Is there anybody who doesn't owe you?

Just you, kid. Just you.

Raise you 60.

Eight thousand.

It's an interesting situation.

I had you sitting

with a medium pocket pair.

Nines wired, perhaps,

which would give you a set.

You had me figured for a straight draw.

Now, the question is:

Am I four to a flush, too?

With a pot this size,

I'II call you no matter what you raise.

The prudent thing would be

to just call, protect your chips...

...so you can play again, another day.

No, Prudence, the question is...

...you talking because you got

the diamonds, or because you don't?

You and I both know

what the book says you should do, kid.

Is that what you do now?

Just play by the book?

You might as well play online.

Raise.

I'm all-in.

You sure?

Now, you can pull it back if you want.

I'd bet more if I had it.

-You would?

-Yeah.

I'II Iet you throw in

that charm of yours...

...that wedding ring

you're fond of carrying.

AIthough, I notice

you don't have it with you.

You're right, I don't.

But I'II put up the pawn ticket

that redeems it...

...against that wristwatch

you're wearing.

Yeah?

Okay. May I?

Get out of here.

A buck and a half?

You must have been up against it, kid.

I know that ring's worth a Iot more

than that to you.

And my watch is worth a Iot more

than that to me.

My father's 1 938 Bulova.

He wore it through the war,

but I'II take that bet.

Anybody mind?

Are you kidding? Come on.

This is between you two.

But we're happy to watch.

So insane.

I got you covered.

Possible flush...

...open-ended straight draw.

How are you fixed?

Pocket nines.

Imagine that.

Let's see the river.

Diamond flush, the winner.

That hurts.

Too bad, Huckleberry.

Sometimes it pays to be prudent.

Hey, Huck,

you know what your problem is?

You.

You're a great player.

You know the math.

You read your opponents

as well as anybody I've ever seen.

The trouble is you're a blaster.

You always have been.

Thanks for the analysis.

Listen, go for broke,

you're gonna wind up broke.

He drew Iucky.

I caught a case of second best.

You want sympathy...

...you'II find it between

sh*t and syphilis in the dictionary.

If you don't Ieave

your volatility at home...

-...you'II never be in the same Ieague--

-What do you want?

I want you to play with my money.

It'II even you out.

It'II make you a better player.

Your money's not involved,

your emotions will be Iess involved.

I'II stake you the ten grand buy-in

to the World Series, we split the winnings.

Let me ask you something,

how much do you weigh?

Oh, 1 50, give or take a Iittle.

How much you think I weigh?

-One-eighty-five.

-One-eighty-five.

Now you tell me,

how well do you think I'm gonna play...

...with an additional 1 50 pounds

on my back?

Give or take a Iittle.

That is an arbitration clause,

but it may not be binding here.

We may be in Iuck. Why don't

you read me paragraph two again...

...one more time from the top.

-Hope this isn't about money.

-You got any money?

It's good to see you, Huckster.

-1 -900-Mental.

-Is this a real psychologist?

Yes, all of our psychologists

are board certified and accredited.

-That's a relief, because--

-One moment, please.

Okay.

-1 -900-Defend. PIease hold.

-I have a--

Yes. This is Dr. Shuman.

May I ask your name?

Yeah, Toby.

What seems to be the problem?

-It's my girlfriend.

-Come on, Jack.

Turn into 1 -900-Loan, spot me a thousand

to get me going again.

What did I just tell you?

-Dr. Shuman, are you there?

-Sorry, Toby, yes.

-When I drive by, she's out.

-What do you think she's telling you...

-...with this chronic behavior?

-I don 't know.

I'm wondering if I shouldn't put you

on with our relationship...

...and commitment therapist,

Dr. Gregory.

-Okay.

-Keep him talking.

-You're playing a Iosing hand.

-Really, you think so?

This is a case of throwing

good money after bad.

-You should just get out, Toby.

-Thanks, doctor.

Hold on one moment. Our contract

specialist will be with you presently.

-What are you doing?

-What?

Rule number one, be a Iistener. Listen.

-I can't help you. I want to, but I can't.

-Jack, come on, you know I'm good for it.

Why does everyone

try to take advantage of me?

Cheryl, I am hearing you

express your pain...

...and I'm feeling empathy.

You understand, don 't you, doctor?

Yes. From my own experience,

I know how disheartening it is...

...to feel that you're being

taken advantage of by friends.

-All they do is take from me.

-Exactly, Cheryl.

When the motives become monetary,

it's parasitic.

It is parasitic.

Julie split and took the kids.

I think she means it this time.

-She always means it.

-No, I'm telling you.

She does not even wanna talk

about talking about it.

You might need to dial 1 -900-It's-Over.

Thanks.

I don't even go to restaurants.

-You okay?

-I don 't have anybody to talk to.

No.

Don't you ever get Ionely?

I don 't know what

I'm gonna do with myself.

I feel as though I'm stuck here

waiting for my life to start.

-If I could just hit a button....
