find this is a real winner.
Really.
I am on my way.
Aww, that's beautiful.
That's beautiful.
You want me to place a
bet for you? They're saying
that dynamic rainbow's
got forty-eight to one odds.
That's terrible.
That is what
makes it fun, Gerry.
I'm laying fifty to win.
What do you want to do?
Forty-eight to one,
geez. I don't know.
Don't stress baby,
it's just dogs.
You know what, put me
down for two hundred to place.
Okay, you got it.
Dynamic Rainbow.
Heeeere comes Casey.
And the greyhounds
are on the race track.
Which one
is number four?
Dynamic Rainbow number
four in the green. There we go.
C'mon Rainbow! C'mon Rainbow!
Go go go! Go Dynamic Rainbow!
Around the first turn...
- yeah! Rainbow!
Beautiful.
Look look look look look!
Let's go Rainbow! C'mon.
Yeah! Oh yeah!
He's bringing it up!
- C'mon Rainbow!
- Go Rainbow! Go Rainbow!
Dynamic Rainbow.
Around the turn and down the
home stretch to the wire. It's-
yeah!
Dynamic Rainbow at the wire.
We won!
Of course we won.
Your damn right we won.
Ahhh. F***! I'm an idiot.
I'm an idiot!
I bet to place.
I should have listened to you.
Aww, easy.
You still won big buddy.
C'mon we just won a
whole bunch of money.
Let's go celebrate,
we'll have some drinks.
We'll meet some ladies.
We'll go to a show.
Oh, no no no.
Look at this place.
We can get drinks here. We
can meet ladies here. I'm sure.
Gerry, come on. It don't
get any better than this.
C'mon. Let's go. Let's
go have some fun. Alright?
Hold on. Hold on. Wait.
Next guy that comes
out of the bathroom,
if... he's wearing glasses-
we stay.
If he's wearing glasses-
just, just.
You're on.
Yes!
I'll tell you what Gerry,
never bet on a dog named
after a disabled president.
I thought it was Teddy.
Rollin' Roosevelt?
It's a good name.
No. No, it was not a good name.
Next time you quit when
I tell you it's time.
I used to know this guy back
in Kansas City, Archie Headdy.
Never knew when to quit.
Oh, yeah, yeah, I think
going, but you don't...
Hey, listen, listen, Gerry.
Okay.
Archie, he owed every
poker player in town at least
three hundred bucks. Minimum.
It got to point where he was
asking his little nephews for
change out of their piggy banks.
I see him at O'Hara's poker room
one day and I walk over to say
hello. I see he's got a handsome
pile of chips in front of him,
over five grand. Archie
starts bragging that he started
the night with just sixty bucks.
Sixty bucks that he borrowed
from some new chump by the way.
So I pulled him aside and say,
"hey, listen. Cash. Out. Now."
He's got enough there to pay
back everybody he owes and
still get a slab at
Oklahoma Joes, right?
"You're right.
You're right."
He says, "I'll stop as soon
as the blind come throught."
- Did he talk like that?
- Like a balloon with helium.
Yeah. So I feel good
about myself, right.
I'm smiling,
I go back to my table.
Think I've done
a good deed here.
The next thing I hear is
Archie's high-pitched screaming
voice saying, "I'm all in."
And he lost everything right?
Of course he
lost everything. Yeah.
But you know
what he says to me?
Says, "don't worry, it
was just sixty bucks."
Some guys are born to lose.
You play? Hmm?
Pool. You play?
Aww, not in a long time.
Hey. Hey. Hey.
Twenty bucks on my buddy here.
- Alright?
- What are you doing?
I'm gonna watch you play
this big winner right here.
You said you played.
Yeah, but not in a long time.
- So you'll lose.
- No, you'll lose.
No, I'm not gonna lose,
I'm spending twenty bucks to
watch you watch you
make a food of yourself.
That's that's not losing.
That's entertainment.
We gonna play or what?
We're gonna play. Oh, we're
gonna we're gonna play.
You want to be entertained?
Fifty bucks let's play
for fifty bucks, huh?
Hey, hey, hey, Gerry.
Play nice now.
Okay? Fifty bucks.
You like that?
Five hundred.
Thousand. Let's
play for a thousand dollars.
That's enough.
You fellas don't
belong here do you?
I'm really, I'm not very good.
Okay. Hey, hey, hey,
hey. Easy. Easy.
We're good.
We're good. We're good.
What are you doing tomorrow?
What are you doing tomorrow?
Aww, I think it's
Machu Picchu time for me.
Time, time for me
to hit the road.
Oh, okay.
Okay, well, it was
great to meet you.
You too, ger.
Hey, do you
want a ride some place.
Naw, I'm gonna steal a bike.
Hey.
Hey.
Can you, uhh, you got a light?
Uhh, no.
What's that for?
Give me the money.
I don't have any money.
Bull sh*t. Thousand dollar bets?
Yeah, I heard you back there.
- No, no.
- Just give it to me.
Hey, I told ya,
I don't have any money.
Okay, I lost it all
on rollin Roosevelt.
- Don't make me cut you.
- Take it easy, buddy. Okay.
Take it easy.
I'm gonna show you.
Hurry up.
Here, here, here.
See, I don't have any money.
What? Do I look stupid?
Ahhh!
Damnit.
Damnit.
Sh*t.
Hey you forgot
your knife a**hole.
Heyy.
Gerry! Hey!
It's great to see you, man.
How long has it been?
I don't know,
a couple months.
- Too long.
- Mmm.
- It's been too long.
- Yeah, I know Sam.
Have you been avoiding me Gerry?
No. No way.
Can I bring
you something to drink?
Uhhh, yeah,
I'll take a coffee.
Oh, forgive me
but I got here early.
I ordered a salad. Order
whatever you want. It's on me.
No, it's fine.
Yeah, I know it's fine.
I insist.
Okay, sure. I'll take a burger,
medium-rare, fries.
Alright.
Hey, how are you?
You know, same old grind.
but doesn't seem to be
heading in that direction.
How's your real estate?
Uhh, slow and low.
I'm sure it'll pick up soon.
Yeah, eventually.
Don't make me ask Gerry.
Sooo last night I had
eight hundred dollars,
I go out into the parking lot,
f***ing guy robs me.
Meth-head with a knife.
He stabs me in the gut. See?
Oh God, Gerry. Put that down.
Honestly.
You need to have
somebody look at that.
Are you okay?
Yeah, yeah. I'm fine.
- I can't imagine.
- It was pretty scary.
At least you're okay.
Yes. Just a scratch.
It could have been
a lot worse you know?
Mm.
Gotta take it.
Hey.
Awgh. Jesus. Lord. No.
I'm not bringing
it to the school.
I'm in a meeting.
Ask you dad.
I don't know where it is.
Well you know it's not my
fault that you forgot it.
Teenagers.
Hey.
Okay. I will.
I'm I'm gonna bring it.
This is the last time though.
Alright baby I'll be
there in half an hour.
Do not keep me
waiting out front.
You are so lucky you don't
have to deal with that sh*t.
Gerry, I tell ya.
Huhh.
So, what do you
have for me today.
It's about eighty dollars.
I had the rest...
- Meth-head.
- F***ing meth-head.
- Dead beat.
- The worst.
- Things will look up.
- They always do.
Well, not always.
Couple weeks. Couple of weeks.
Don't worry about it.
- Tomorrow.
- Mmn-
tomorrow. Gerry, I'll
send Ted to drop you a visit.
Oh, no no there's no
