- Thanks.

I'll let you know when we

set another game, Dean.

Sure, Max, but this is

my last one for a while.

- Eve.

- Good night.

Hey, always reject

your hold cards.

Hell, I was mucking cards

before you were born.

The Dean, huh?

Oy.

You know, it's probably

none of my business...

But Jennings never knew

he was being conned.

Sh*t.

Someone must've

tipped us off.

- Who is this?

- Seems one of your mules

dropped 80 grand

on a poker hustle tonight.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa!

- Hey, hey!

One more thing,

if you want

the cash back,

you might want

to talk to a guy named...

Charlie Miller.

He'll be at a bar...

Now.. Please,

let us know if we can

be of some assistance.

You got a cigarette?

Thanks.

$2 million.

I can't believe it.

You let $2 million

slip through your fingers.

You f***ed it.

He outplayed me.

Outplayed you?

Look, Charlie I'll make it up to you, okay?

The next time...

There isn't gonna be a next time.

Don't you get it?

It's over.

I wash my hands of you.

So that's it?

That's it.

Come on, baby,

just leave him.

Well, this is familiar.

Yeah, well,

it's over.

Oh, yeah,

it's over, baby.

Wait a minute.

# Stormy weather #

# since me

and that little girl... #

sir, I'm sorry,

there's not supposed

to be any smoking in here.

Hell with it.

Go ahead.

Stupid-ass law anyway.

Thanks.

# Life is bare #

# there's gloom

and misery everywhere #

# stormy weather #

# since me

and that little girl #

# been together... #

good work, kid.

Everything except

for malini.

Oh hell, there's

always complications.

Dealing with it is

what takes skill.

Which reminds me, it was a

good call bringing in scarne.

- Nice work there, John.

- My pleasure.

Thanks for

coming in, John.

This actually does

make up for my leg.

Besides, I never liked

Miller or that broad.

Mean, mean...

So did you get

your answer, kid?

Unfortunately, yes.

Oh, come on, anybody can

take a sucker.

That's what

they're built for.

But to take down a pro... someone

who's wise, your partner...

Now that's

a real score.

There's nothing more satisfying

than taking down your partner,

especially when

they deserve it.

Yeah, that they

definitely did.

So you really out?

Oh, hell yeah.

Gotta go out sometime.

- Might as well be while you're on top, right?

- Right.

What about you? You

goin' back on the road?

Nah, I don't know

what I'm gonna do,

but I'm finished

for a while.

It's too bad though.

Oh, why's that?

We never got to sit

at a table for real.

Yeah, that is a shame.

I always wondered

how it would turn out.

I guess one of us

would have lost.

I guess so.

See you around,

Vernon.

Hey, Vernon...

See ya around,

Dean.
