(CROWD CHEERING)
- DEALER:
It's 11! Eleven!- Yes! Yes!
DEALER:
Gentleman needs some chips.Guys, what are you waiting for?
Get in on this! I'm hitting every
single number over and over again.
Let's do this!
DEALER:
Dice are out!- Eleven!
- (ALL CHEERING)
- MAN:
This dude is on fire!- You guys need money?
single person at this table money.
I don't know, we said
we weren't gonna gamble.
Come on. What's the
worst that could happen?
Maybe we put a few dollars on four.
DEALER:
Hot shooter.I mean, yeah, the fourth
is Alex's birthday.
- Right?
- We'll just do one bet.
I kind of can't lose at
this point, so let's do this.
DEALER:
Welcome to the Wynn, sir.Number four, please.
- No, no, not all 500.
- Hey-oh!
(ALL EXCLAIMING)
- Yeah! F*** yeah, four!
- Yes! Yes!
Four! Four!
I should tell you, the probability
of hitting four again, very unlikely.
But if we do, you guys are gonna
double that and it's gonna pay out big.
And, plus, it's for baby Alex!
- (CHANTING) Alex! Alex! Alex!
- ALL:
Alex! Alex! Alex!DEALER:
That's a four.(ALL CHEERING)
Come on, Frank! Frank, look at me!
- We're gonna do this, Frank!
- Here we go, Kate!
- Do this!
- Let's do this!
To my brothers and sisters
Mom, Pops, and my daughter
Nieces and nephews, salute
all y'all to those I can't get to
To my dogs on lock down
Block hustlers from all around
I pray you make it
This world is yours...
DEALER:
Four!(CHEERING)
Amazing, amazing,
amazing, so damn amazing
FRANK:
Okay, guys...If I roll another four, that's
Alex going to college, all right?
- We believe in you, Frank.
- All right.
Whatever you do, don't roll a seven!
(DISTORTED) Why would you say that?
(DISTORTED) I didn't know!
- No!
- No!
(DISTORTED) F*** you, a**hole!
ALL:
No!SCOTT:
(DISTORTED) Yeah! Oh, yeah!Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
- KATE:
(DISTORTED) Oh, no!- FRANK:
(DISTORTED) God damn it!DEALER:
Seven out,there was no four.
- Hey, that money's my daughter's college tuition.
- DEALER:
Yeah?Well, she just got accepted
to the School of Hard Knocks.
Misroll! It's a misroll!
- Scotty, no!
- I said not a seven!
Give me that stick! Give it to me!
FRANK:
"Whatever youdo, don't roll a seven"?
Thanks a lot, a**hole. You
basically jinxed us all.
I was merely trying to make you
aware of what number not to roll,
which, by the way, for
the record, was seven.
- (GROANS)
- MAN:
F*** you, a**hole!That guy gets it!
- Why is that guy following me?
- Why?
Because he hates you.
I hate you, too, right now.
You know, we came in hell-bent on
not gambling, and what did we do?
We gambled and we lost all our money.
You know what I say?
House always wins.
What if we were the house?
FRANK:
Are you guysfamiliar with the cliche,
"It's a cliche because it's true"?
Well, that cliche about cliches
being true has never been more true
than right now with the cliche,
- What?
- FRANK:
Okay?Now, we stand to make
four years' tuition in one month.
One month, guys. Think about that.
This is the most impressive
thing you've ever done, Frank.
- KATE:
Um...- Thanks, Scott.
- I'm very wary to go into business with you.
- Noted.
- However, we know why we need the money.
- Yes.
What's in it for you?
Well, full disclosure, the
bank has foreclosed on my home.
- Oh, Frank.
- Ah. There we go.
So, this money would
help me get that back.
That's pretty much why Raina left me.
KATE:
No, that's not why Raina left you.It's because you started
gambling on golf...
- Yeah.
- True. Well, not just golf, but okay.
And you developed an online porn addiction.
Okay, it's not an addiction if you can
quit any time you want, which I can.
- Then stop.
- I don't want to right now.
Listen, I know I'm throwing a lot of
numbers at you guys, lot of financials.
But let's not take away from the
fact that this is gonna be fun.
Okay, but we're not
doing it for fun, right?
- Eh...
- No, we aren't. No.
- It's work.
- I think we're saying the same thing, all of us.
Work hard, play hard. Everybody has fun.
I think this slide will explain it.
FRANK:
Hey-oh! (LAUGHS)- FRANK:
Look at that!- Well, it just says "fun."
- FRANK:
It's fun.- SCOTT:
But it just says "fun."Yeah, it's gonna be a great time,
probably the best time of our lives.
And we're gonna make crazy money.
The graphics are great, but
it doesn't help us. It doesn't.
I have one last slide to show you,
and I think it's the most important.
Check this out.
Look at Alex, right? Here she is.
She's gone to college, Bucknell,
top of her class,
built her own company.
If she doesn't go to college,
boom! She's a homeless prostitute.
She's a runaway on the streets,
selling her tiny body for money.
I don't like this. This is
very emotionally manipulative.
Yeah, exactly.
- May I speak with you privately, please?
- Right now?
Yes, I'd love to talk to you
in the kitchen, if I could.
Okay.
Well?
Thumbs up, right?
I mean, the math. It seems to check out.
Do this math.
You're 40 years old and
you go to jail for 20 years.
How old are you when you get out?
- Ninety. Hundred.
- No. Honey...
- If I have some scratch paper, I can figure it out.
- Really f***ing old!
Besides, I don't wanna start
- SCOTT:
Frank?- KATE:
Yes!- He's our best friend!
- No, he's your best friend.
He's my long friend. We haven't
Besides, we promised Alex
her before she went to college.
But if we don't have the
money, she can't go to college.
And then she's living
with us until she's 40,
working as a banged-up cocktail waitress.
weird guys' names on them.
- She's gonna get a neck tattoo.
- KATE:
Oh, my God.Of a hand trying to choke her.
- That's gonna be Alex!
- I know. You don't think I know that?
We need to figure this sh*t out!
Can we pull this off? I
mean, can we run a casino?
It's a shady business
with criminals, mobsters,
you know, with shady people.
Look, we tried to play it safe,
we've tried to play by the
rules, and it got us nowhere.
What do we have to lose?
- (SIGHS)
- Nothing.
So, what do you guys think?
Let's take a risk for Alex.
All right, f*** it, I'm in.
- Yes!
- Yeah!
(ALL EXCLAIM EXCITEDLY)
FRANK:
We'll do it here, my house.My hedges are crazy
high, so it's private.
Plus, Raina took a
lot of the furniture,
so we've got plenty
of room for tables.
We need players. That's easy.
There's Martha. Her
husband left her last year,
and now she runs book club
and tries to suppress the rage
bubbling just beneath the surface.
There's Joe, retired at
30, taking care of his mom
and bored out of his f***ing mind.
Then there's Reggie,
who just made partner
at his law firm,
which means he's got cash to
