- Harry.
- No, come on, I want to talk to you about something.
You know, I know that you grow up and
you think things are a certain way,
and then things change
when you get older.
It's just the way it is.
It comes down to this, Rach.
Every man's got his price,
and, you know, chalk mine
up to, ooh, $56 million.
Okay, $28 million.
They're going to have a ticket, too,
I understand that,
but still,
28's a lot of scratch.
But do you realize
what you're saying?
Oh, God, please don't
let her do this to me.
Please, I'm asking you.
Not now.
Come on, Rachel,
this is a chance I've been
waiting for my whole life.
This is a chance
to pull my losing streak
right out of the water.
Come on, baby, don't do this to me!
But it's illegal.
They don't throw
rich people in jail.
The hell they don't! And if
the police don't get you,
you're going to have
to deal with that sweaty guy.
Do you want to be looking over
your shoulder for the rest of your life?
lighten up a little bit.
As long as we've got
the box, we're totally safe.
Oh? What was that
about lacking something?
I didn't say I was proud.
Do you know what you lack?
You lack character.
I don't think you
understand what's happening.
Oh. You're just going
to forget everything,
just like that.
What about Rigaud?
Hey, in a deal like this,
that's the chance you take.
What about me?
Harry!
40-60.
Ohh! Aah!
All right, 50-50.
I was kidding.
It's a lottery joke, honey.
Oh, Rachel, come on!
You might like being rich.
You want to give it a try?
I don't take blood money, Harry.
This isn't blood money!
That's not blood money! It's fate!
You can throw your life away
if you want to! Go right ahead!
Oh, come...
Rach, don't leave me!
Don't make me have to decide!
I hate this!
I'm only human!
You're slime!
But I'm human slime.
Come on, let's go.
There's people behind you.
Yeah, yeah. 25,
32,
8,
13,
39,
That's it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
One ticket?
Everybody in this town is
buying these by the dozen.
You talk with God or something?
I may have to after this.
Yeah, you and my mother.
There.
Police department.
Uh, is this the 27th precinct?
Yes, ma'am.
What can I do for you?
I'd like to report a, um...
Yes?
Uh, never mind.
Sh*t.
Arnold.
Arnold?
Arnold?
Hello?
(GASPS)
Uhh!
Listen, can we talk?
Do you talk?
Uhh!
Ohh.
Ohh! Uhh!
Aah! Listen, I don't have
the box! I don't have the box,
and I don't know where it is.
I don't have the box,
but I know where we can get it.
Oh, don't hurt me.
Uhh! Ohh!
Aah!
Ohh!
Eww!
I could have loved you.
Ohh!
Judy, let's get married.
Let's get married
right away, tonight.
I'll be able to send for you in three months.
I'll have the money then.
Three months?
Why the rush to get married now?
Exactly.
Well, do you think I'm going to let a
funny little redhead run around loose here?
What if some other fellow
came along and...
Oh, Judy, I've got to have you.
Until death do us part?
Oh, it's bullshit.
Until death do us part.
Norman!
Norman, hold on, buddy!
(MOANS)
You all right?
I got you.
(MUMBLES)
Ahh.
You okay?
What happened?
They got Rachel. Said they'd kill her
if you don't give them the box.
Meet tonight in Jersey.
Yeah, it looks fine.
Go make our fortune.
And drive carefully.
Nice suit.
Let her go.
Oh, Harry.
Mr. Berg?
(GUNSHOT)
Tragedy must surely be
the essence of existence.
But you made a deal.
I know. I lied.
You just shot at your partner.
So sorry.
I'll make sure
it won't happen again.
Make your point.
Do you know what a degausser is?
No idea.
It's a little device used
to demagnetize metal objects.
I demagnetized one of the balls,
and magnetized another one.
The final winning number
is no longer 3.
In other words, the ticket you're holding
right now doesn't mean sh*t.
I feel sick.
$56 million, and two lives.
You must be a betting man.
Gave it up.
It's a splendid bluff,
Mr. Berg.
Yeah, except I'm not bluffing.
Shoot him.
You can't kill him!
Yeah, shoot me.
Go ahead, shoot me right here,
and then watch $56 million
run out of my brain.
Tell me more.
How can I win
if the number's changed?
The ticket booths are closed.
I already bought
the winning ticket.
I'm holding the winning ticket.
And what if you're lying?
If I'm lying, you win with
the ticket you already own.
You are a perplexing
individual, Mr. Berg.
Thank you.
But I wonder
if you're really lucky.
Go with Mr. Berg where he can quickly
get his ticket and be closely watched.
We'll take Ms. Dobs
with us to the drawing.
I expect you both to behave
for the sake of the other.
If you're telling the truth,
then we shall have a deal.
If you're lying,
if the last number is 3,
then it shall be painful.
I deplore dishonesty.
Rach. It's all right, hon.
In the car, schmuck.
Put the gun away.
You ain't going to use it.
I like it.
It comforts me.
Don't get too comfortable,
you freak. You know why?
Hey, what do you
think you're doing?
Going for a ride.
- You slow it down, a**hole.
- What are you going to do, shoot me?
- Damn straight, you crazy son of a b*tch!
- You can't shoot me!
Stop the car!
I'm the $56 million man!
What's your boss going to say?
Go ahead and shoot me!
Shoot me! Shoot me!
I will, you crazy freak!
I'll blow your f***ing brains out!
F*** you! Pull the frigging trigger!
Pull it! Pull it!
Aah!
Aah!
(MARCHING BAND PLAYING)
One thing to remember.
Human morality disintegrates
at the $50 million mark.
Whew!
Okay...
Oh, my God!
I'm on the wrong side!
Hold on, Rach, I'm coming!
Gotta go!
(CROWD CHEERING)
(BAND PLAYING
WE'RE IN THE MONEY )
Ms. Dobs, I do hope Mr. Berg
was telling the truth.
Don't worry.
I trust Harry with my life.
You are.
(SHIP HORN BLOWS)
Aah!
And now, here is
Honest Tom T. Murray.
(CROWD CHEERS)
Lotto! Lotto!
Lotto! Lotto!
ALL:
Lotto! Lotto!Lotto! Lotto!
Lotto! Lotto!
Lotto! Lotto!
Lotto! Lotto!
Lotto! Lotto!
Lotto! Lotto!
Lotto! Lotto!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
You got to help me!
Grandmothers, mothers, fathers, sons
and all of the living creatures
who've anted up, welcome!
We're here tonight
to play lotto!
(DRUMS BEAT)
And it's your chance
to win, win, win!
(DRUMS BEAT)
To become, that's right,
a millionaire.
(DRUMS BEAT)
Do you want it?
CROWD:
Yeah!I, I can't hear you.
CROWD:
Yeah!But I was bluffing.
I didn't change
any of the numbers.
The last number
is still going to be what?
That's right, 3.
That's why you have to turn this boat around,
Captain Jack,
because if I don't get back there
and stop them, I'm telling you,
they're going to kill
this girl, Rachel.
Remember I told you about Rachel?
Real nice girl? Pretty girl?
O'er the ramparts we watched
were so gallantly streaming...
It's bigger than you,
it's bigger than me,
it's bigger than the whole city.
It's an affront
to our morals, to our values.
Hey, they're puking
