You know what I mean

And the way she looked

was way beyond compare

So how could I dance

with another

When I saw her standing there

Did we sing any other songs

Like the Beatles?

Scary! Hot! Scary bad!

Scary bad! Scary!

What's scary about it?

Hot water burn baby!

Hot water burn--

Tub burn baby.

- Tub burn baby.

- I'm not burned.

- Yeah.

I'm not burned. It's okay.

It's okay.

Time for Wallbrook now.

That's why they put you away.

They thought you'd hurt me.

Never hurt baby.

Never hurt Charlie Babbitt.

Never hurt Charlie.

What? What?

Never hurt Charlie Babbitt.

What, Ray?

What?

Come on. It's 11:00, Ray.

- Lights out.

- Yeah.

Never hurt Charlie Babbitt.

Never hurt Charlie Babbitt.

There you go. Right where you Like 'em,

at the end of the bed.

Come on, Ray.

Hi, it's me.

You didn't hang up.

Does that mean we're engaged?

Listen, l, uh--

I just wanna hear it's not over.

I'm scared it's over.

Don't ask me tonight.

I don't know what to say.

- Let it sit.

- Something I'm not real good at.

There are a lot of things

that you're not good at.

I'll call you

when I get back, okay?

- I'll see you.

- Ciao.

Why are you looking at that? I bought

a TV, and you're watching a dryer.

I don't know.

Because at the shrink hearing,

we'll have to prove...

you prefer to watch TV as opposed to

the clothes dryer, you understand that?

- Yeah.

- You Listening to me?

Turn this off

when you're not watching it.

- Yeah.

- You'll run down the batteries.

Then where will you be

at 3:
00 when Wapner's on?

Yeah. The red one

always falls the same.

Why don't you listen to me?

You don't wanna

listen to me, do you?

You wanna go back to Wallbrook?

I gotta make

a phone call.

Lenny, it's me.

Where have you been? I've been

sittin' by this phone for three hours.

I had to buy some clothes.

Clothes? Charlie, we are

in serious trouble.

- Why are you buyin' clothes?

- Take it easy.

I'm in Tucumcari.

I'll be there--

They repossessed the cars

to pay off the Loan.

The cars are gone, Charlie.

And Bateman wants

his down payment back. They all do.

That's 80,000, Charlie.

You gotta pay these people back,

or it's all over.

We're out of business.

What am I gonna tell 'em?

I don't know.

Son of a b*tch!

Son of a b*tch!

This would be easier

if you let me put the top up.

You wouldn't have to fry.

Put this lotion on

so you don't burn.

Don't start with that.

You want me to put the top up?

- I definitely Like the top down.

- I know. I don't want you to burn.

Definitely Like it

when the top's--

It's all right.

Just take it easy.

- Oh, no.

- It's almost over.

Uh-huh. All right.

How does that feel?

Very slippery.

Maldonado swings, and there's

a base hit into center field.

One run is in.

Here's Brenly going to third.

The throw by Davis... not in time.

Brenly in safely

at third base...

on Maldonado's single.

He held that ball too Long

in center field, don't you think so?

We'll look at it again.

Treadwell playing way over towards

the right side, shaded him to pull.

Here's Davis.

Yeah, he seems to hold it there

just a bit, Tom.

Sort of double-pumped it.

Watch the replay.

He loses all chance

on a play on Brenly...

even though Brenly

doesn't exactly run fast.

And the throw into third base

finally is a little bit high.

Will you give me

a break with this?

Ray, stop it.

J-7.

- K-7? What's that?

- J-7.

What's J-7?

What's J-7? The song?

Look out there, Raymond.

No, out here.

'18 Wheels and A Dozen Roses.'

- What's the number?

- E-5.

'Cheating Heart,' Hank Williams.

'Your Cheating Heart.'

'Course, that's Hank Williams, Jr.

D-1. D-1.

'Blue Moon of Kentucky,'

Bill Monroe.

And the Bluegrass Boys. K-5.

This is very important.

When there's lots of tens and picture

cards left, then it's good for us.

- Tens are good.

- Okay. And you're gonna bet one--

- One if it's bad.

- That's right. Two if it's good.

Now, listen.

Casinos have house rules.

The first one is,
