Rings on Her Fingers Page #5

Synopsis: Susan Miller works behind the girdle counter in a department store and dreams about the beautiful clothes and glamour she can never hope to have. Enter May Worthington and Warren, a pair of con artists who pose as the mother and uncle of a pretty girl in order to separate millionaires from their money. They convince Susan she has an opportunity to fulfill all her dreams, and the trio heads for Palm Beach. Susan meets John Wheeler who says he is shopping for a sailboat. Believing that he is a millionaire, Warren and May sell him a boat that doesn't belong to them, and make off with his $15,000 life savings. Looking for greener pastures, they work themselves into the family of wealthy Tod Fenwick, who falls for Sue, posing as "Linda Worthington". But John shows up as a guest of Fenwick and he tells "Linda", not knowing she was part of the scam, that he has a detective after the fake captain that sold him the boat. John admits that he is not a millionaire but only a $65-a-week clerk. He a

I'll wait for you here.

Are you Nick?

No, I'm Chick. Nick is sick.

Call the Colonel?

Yes, everything is ready.

Do you want me to win?

Maybe I have not heard well.

You have done well.

You must be crazy.

It is not necessary to say it.

Ah, it comes with beer.

You will not say I did not try.

You did it very well,

nobody would get it.

You can take from me.

A prize.

Oh, rings!

It's official.

You should not do it.

I did not want to spend

too much but it was nice.

, From Tiffany!

Just what I always wanted.

The stones are small but

the whole is beautiful.

I feel lucky.

Let's try a machine.

,Come on!

According to the calculations,

you must avoid betting.

5 cents. Today we are lucky.

Luck does not exist.

It's just mathematics.

Or there is a trick, and you do not win.

But luck does exist.

If there is anything I understand,

they are the numbers.

Apply the law of probabilities.

There is a possibility over 500,000.

Why spend 5 cents?

There are no laws against luck.

Even Mr. Einstein could be

touched by the fat man.

Half a million times does not happen.

Ok, I'll show you.

?You see it?

I told you we were lucky.

That does not prove anything.

It was coming out, that's all.

Show that you are lucky.

What a nonsense:
Luck!

There is the answer.

You surrender, Mr. Wheeler?

We are a lucky couple.

It is a mathematical coincidence,

it can not happen again.

- How many machines are there?

- 35

27 million against 3 that I

do not touch the fat one.

- We have a teacher.

- A great genius.

Science does not admit luck.

Well, it's col.

This is fantastic.

They are damaged. It's mechanical chiripa.

They went crazy.

Although it is the latter, I will

prove that they are mathematics.

Luck is the most foolish...

Nobody ready something...

Win the 7. Again...

Win the 7

, 4 times in a row! I'm in.

- We left it like that?

- That's it.

Come on, lucky!

I'm not. It's kind of bizarre.

I can not get another 7.

We keep winning.

How is that called?

I do not call it luck.

The dice have 12 sides.

There are 530 possible combinations.

Only because it comes out

several times does not mean...

Well, but it can not be...

Win the 7.

These dice have a trick.

Now we play roulette.

Do you know what possibilities there are?

Boba, you can not win.

Come, just once.

Ah, the 15 is a good number.

Carl, do not do it.

18, red, pairs.

, Pairs!? Do you believe Me Now?

Place your bets.

23, red.

Place your bets.

6, pairs, black.

I won.

?You see it?

I can not understand...

, Or maybe yes!, Maybe!

You can start believing in luck.

Two odd in a row, a couple,

is De Morgan's theory.

"In series of numbers, the

frequency of appearance...

it is related to the

possibilities and the results."

That happen. I said it: Mathematics.

Whatever it is, go on.

I have found a good formula.

I'll try it with the numbers.

Have fun, will you?

I present to Colonel

Prentiss, the owner.

I congratulate you for your honesty.

Otherwise, mathematics would fail.

I warn you, I'm going to win everything.

Thanks for the warning.

What numbers have won?

17, 11 and 5, be or.

I need paper.

I go. T plays.

And a pencil.

Bring paper and pencil to

the man in the gray jacket.

Two specials, Jim.

Place your bets.

Number 15.

He's very nice, is not he?

Writing numbers as a student.

I see that you like it better.

It's okay, yes.

, 19!

He is a nice boy.

It has a system, huh?

The 19 wins again.

, The 19th, my number! I knew it.

Warren has nothing against

this "cleaning", right?

I hope none of these

15,000 were yours.

No, this was a private matter.

Thank you. I will take it.

Win the 8, pairs.

, I got it again!, I win!

It is miraculous.

I've left the frequency

of errors, which is...

I believe you, dear.

Do you change them?

Not yet.

I won and I can win.

Well, follow. You will win a boat.

And provisions for 6 months.

It is a pity to leave it now,

when there is little left.

I feel dizzy.

I can not think anymore.

Well, a nice amount...

I must be dizzy.

I have not figured so much since

I've been working with Fenwyck.

Roulette requires

intense concentration.

We must consider each of

the 37 possibilities.

Lemonade is good, huh?

Especially rum.

Ah, he has. 14.103 dollars.

It's 900 from the ship.

Come on, try again.

Now I could not add 2 and 2.

We're going home.

Is not it wonderful to earn so much?

?Wonderful? It's just the work

of the old scientific mind.

"Wheeler, you have mathematical

sagacity."? Who said it?

Patrick Henry?

No, my teacher.

Who was the best in the class?

- The teacher.

- Not me.

I showed that it was not luck, huh?

It's the old sagacity.

I do not bet on the fool.

Yes, you can not lose.

You are at my mercy.

I could make any

system, I'm sure.

We will not have a boat.

We will have one of 60 meters,

with 2 diesel engines.

Come on, it's time to sleep.

You're welcome.

Good morning.

Goodnight.

- Enter one minute.

- It's too late.

I will scream and wake up everyone.

Okay, just one minute.

Good evening, honey.

It's better if you sleep something.

?Sleep?

Hi. Is it the Priest

Whitehall Company?

? Certified Public

Accounting and Investments?

I'm John Wheeler.

Slave for salary number 65.

I will not go this morning.

I will never go any further.

I'm out.

And you're all fired.

What are you doing here?

I have good news for you.

Tod Fenwick sent his request.

And we accept in your name.

The wedding is next Sunday.

Well, I hope all 3 of

you are very happy.

I will be, because I will not go.

Linda, be sensitive. You know

what it means for Warren.

Tod Fenwick is his biggest dam...

If you do not play with Warren,

he is capable of anything.

May, you waste your time.

I have made the decision.

We'll see what happens with Warren.

Well, if you get stubborn...

Remember that I warned you.

Good luck, wrist.

Thanks, May.

Hello, Mr. Kellogg.

Your mother is lovely, is not she?

That's the general idea.

Did I come back from work?

A n has not returned.

?Something important?

I wanted him to sign a

paper to stop someone.

I better see.

I tell him I just watched.

It does not arrive before 5:30.

Now it's 4 and 15.

Why do not you come back in 1 hour?

I will wait.

Do you want to come in here to wait?

Please sit down.

Is it going somewhere?

I'm changing it from the floor.

Well, how was it?

Last night I could not sleep.

Following people.

Well, go Do you want warm milk?

That would leave me stunned.

Look, are you nice...

But in my job you can not be

sentimental and hunt ducks.

I hope you understand me.

Good morning, Miss Worthington.

Where do you go on tiptoe?

We're leaving, Mrs. Clancy.

They have to pay for the week.

This is enough for both of them.

Thank you.

Did not pick up a nice dish?

It does not have much grace.

Why does he whisper?

I have asthma.

Do not enter there.

It's my room. I paid the week.

I do not want to use it.
