- Yeah.

Oh, hi.

What the f*** is that?

I really hate that kind of music.

It's Screaming Jay Hawkins,

and he's a wild man, so bug off.

So, uh -

um, I got something for you.

- What is it?

- It's a present.

- Present?

- Mmm.

Thanks.

What is it?

- Yeah.

Oh, thank you.

I think it's kind of ugly.

Don't you?

No. I bought it.

Why don't you try it on?

I don't really wear this style.

You -You know, you come here,

you should dress like people dress here.

I'll try it on... later.

Hey. Leave me some Chesterfields.

Can I get them in Cleveland?

Yeah, yeah.

You can get 'em in Cleveland.

They taste good there, like here?

- It's the same Chesterfields.

- Yeah?

All over America, yeah.

All right.

So, you're sure you don't want me

to come with you to the station?

Mm-hmm.

I would like to go by myself.

Oh.

So, I don't know.

Take care of yourself.

Okay.

Good-bye, Willie.

- So, Eva -

- Yeah?

Uh, I don't know.

Maybe I'll see you again sometime.

Yeah, maybe.

Oh. Hi.

Eva.

This dress bugs me.

I'm leaving.

I'm going to Cleveland.

It's a beautiful town.

Well, good-bye.

Well, it was nice meeting you.

Yeah, it was nice meeting you too.

Yeah?

Full house.

- Oh, man. So did I, believe me.

You know,

I don't believe this, man.

Every time Eddie deals,

Willie wins.

Every time Willie deals,

Willie wins.

- Hey, that's right.

- What are you saying?

I'm saying that you're winning

two out of every five hands...

and they're always

the same two hands!

Two out of every five hands.

That's right!

- You sayin' I'm cheatin' then?

- I'm not saying you're cheating, man.

- We're not saying you're cheating.

- Then what are you saying?

All I'm saying is that every time

we go around, you win -

- What are you doing with the money, man?

- I don't have to listen to this.

- What are you talking about?

- You're saying I'm cheating? I don't have to stay here.

- We're playing a f***ing game here, man!

- Get your f***ing hands off me!

- What the f***? Hey.

- You're his f***ing partner too, right?

I never met the guy.

I'm never playing with you again.

Get out of here, man!

- And you two, man... you just sit there, right?

- What, he's leaving too?

Yeah, he's leaving, yeah.

You picked up on that, huh?

Both of you, man,

you just sit there, you know.

You don't f***in' stick up

for yourselves or nothin', man!

I don't know what the f***

is the matter with both of youse.

And you let those animals

in your f***ing house too, right?

Willie, what are we

stoppin' in here for?

We gotta watch those guys.

They knew somethin' was up.

Tomorrow we got the track...

then with this,

we're doin' pretty good.

- What's your brother-in-law's name? Max?

- Yeah.

- Can we borrow a car from Max?

- Yeah, I guess.

Hey, what do we want a car for?

You want to leave town because of those guys?

No! Those guys are a bunch of lightweights.

I don't care about them.

I just want to get out of here and see

something different for a few days, you know?

Yeah? I don't know.

Hey, where would we go?

- Hey, Willie, where would we go?

- I don't know.

Hey, Eddie.

Eddie!

- Eddie!

- Willie! What's that -What do you want?

Oh, I don't want nothin'.

Think this thing's gonna make it

to Cleveland?

Yeah, it'll make it to Cleveland.

Well, if it don't, we'll just ditch it,

you know, take a bus back.

- Won't Max mind?

- What can Max do about it?

- Hey, pull over over here.

- Yeah? Why?

- I want to talk to this guy.

- Yeah?

Excuse me.

Sir?

- Sir!

- What do you want?

- Could you come here a minute?

- What do you want?

- Could you come over here a minute?

- I'm just waiting for the bus.

- I want to ask you directions.

- What?

Just come here,

so I don't have to yell.

Can you tell me

which way is Cleveland?

Give me a break, man.

I'm just going to work.

Where do you work?

In a factory.

Let's go.

I don't know, Willie.

Ah, the poor guy. God.

You shouldn't have given him

such a hard time.

Can you imagine working in a factory?

No, I can't.

Now I feel bad.

Nah, don't feel bad.

Hey, Eddie.

Ah, cut it out, Willie.

Willie, when we get to Cleveland,

where are we gonna stay?

With your cousin Eva

and, uh, your aunt?

No.

Do you think your cousin Eva

will remember me?

I doubt it, Eddie.

- How much money we got?

- Oh, we got a lot.

- How much is a lot, Eddie?

- We got a lot. We got almost $600.

You're all right, Eddie.

- You know?

- We're a couple of rich men now.

This is terrible, Eddie.

The weather's getting worse.

Look at all the snow here.

You think we're in Ohio yet?

Nah, I think we're still

in Pennsylvania.

- Say, Willie.

- Yeah?

You know, last year,

before I met your cousin...

I never knew you were from Hungary

or Budapest or any of those places.

So what?

I thought you were an American.

Hey, I'm as American as you are.

Does Cleveland look

a little like, uh, Budapest?

Eddie, shut up.

Willie? You asleep?

No, I'm not asleep.

- Who are you?

- Hi.

- Who is there?

- It's me, Bela.

You don't remember me?

Bela Molnar. I'm your nephew.

No, I don't see you about 10 years.

How can I... thinking of you?

- You happy to see me?

- I am very happy to see you.

- Yeah.
