- The bad dice will still be on the table.

- So?

So they'll find them.

That's right.

They can't prove it's me.

No. It's crazy.

You know what?

I'll do it.

I'll make the drop.

No. I can't.

I got to cling to you.

Ok. Then I'm

not going in.

I'm not. I'm not

gonna help you, ok?

It's nuts.

Are you telling me you want

After what happened?

Especially after

what happened.

I could help you, dad.

All right.

I could help you.

- What are you doing?

- I could help you.

What are you

doing, huh?

I could

drop the dice.

I could help you.

I could drop the dice.

I could make the move.

I could help you.

Dad, I could

help you.

All right.

Go wait over there.

Go ahead.

Joe, what

are you doing?

Just wait

over there.

Look. He could

drop the dice.

We could tell him

to wait right here

for us

at the Vegas club.

Are you f***ing crazy?

You can't pressure him,

and he won't freeze up.

if anything happens,

I take the blow, not him.

And if you do take the blow,

what happens to him?

Right. You hadn't

thought of that.

Forget about it.

It's a bad idea.

Janice,

listen to me.

You're gonna use

your son like this?

- It's not about me this time.

- Bullshit. Bullshit.

- It's about you.

- No. It's not about--

Hey, listen to me.

It's not about me this time.

It's about him.

I'm telling you,

he has caught

Every bad break

a human being can catch,

including me for a father.

All he wants to do

is help me,

And I have done

nothing for him.

I don't buy it.

Janice, I've been

alone all my life,

but I'm never lonely

until I look at this kid.

Right or wrong,

I want to help this kid

right now.

Please, let him feel

like he's part of something.

He's part of this.

Let him help me,

Janice.

He could do it.

I know it.

Ok.

Ok.

- Ok.

- Good luck.

Come on.

Can I get you

something?

- Yeah. Give me an iced coffee.

- Sure.

Yes!

Mopping all the hard ways.

- Shoots. 6.

- All right. Ok.

Keep the change.

You

get them, baby.

Get hot. Get hot.

This is your night.

Come on, man.

Let's go.

Roll the dice.

- All right.

Line away.

Come on, shooter.

Make some money here.

Number 7.

Lucky 7.

- 8. An easy 8.

- Nice, nice, nice, nice.

All right. It happens.

It happens. It happens. Yeah.

New shooter

coming out.

Yo, 11 and

around the world.

Not any craps

And make sure those

hard ways are lucky.

Little Joe.

Let me have

the 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10,

And, here, put this

on the 10.

So, what do you got,

Give me odds on 4.

Let me have

the 9 too.

All bets down.

Hey. Hey, how you

doing today?

Do you happen to

have any I.D. On you?

I'm good at this.

I'm sorry, kid, but

if you don't have I.D.,

I can't have you

at the table.

Hey, leave

the kid alone.

Pop, come on, brother.

All right. Let's go.

Give me the 4.

- 6.

- Looking for a 4.

Hey, kid,

I'm not kidding.

You got to get

out of here.

Come on. Now.

Give me full odds on the

nickel and all the numbers.

Probably his kid.

Yeah. Need more

money, my man, more money.

Give me that 4, man.

Give it to me.

A 5. 5.

Pay the man.

Pay the man.

You watch it. You watch it.

We're still alive.

One more time.

- Yeah! Yeah!

- Nice.

Nice dice.

Dice, come on!

Makes the carry over

A 5.

Press it up

one more time.

One more time.

Another 5.

Believe that, pal?

Want you to hold it.

Chips coming in.

Watch the layout

over here.

Come on, boy.

Come on, daddy.

Come on, daddy.

- 4 is the point.

- Yes.

Keep doing it.

Come on. Come on.

Now. Now.

You should take

them out now.

Don't whisper.

It wakes up the dead.

All right.

Hold those dice.

Bring them in.

Bring them in.

Sir, would you

open your hand?

I said open your hand.

Give him the dice.

Look at table

craps 19.

Make sure

they're our dice.

Thank you.

Looks good.

Let me check

the shooter.

Shooter is clean.

Change the dice.

Give him that.

They're in the middle

of a roll.

What kind

of sh*t is this?

Nobody changes the

dice when I'm losing.

Very good point.

Very good point.

Hey, quit cock

blocking, will you?

I'm on

a streak here.

He's right.

What is this,

a schoolyard game?

You know what?

This is bullshit.

They shouldn't switch the dice.

That's for you.

Thank you.

Yeah. Take me down, too.

This is bullshit.

Had enough with this sh*t.

Take me down.

Give me

a couple reds.

Excuse me, ma'am.

May I have the glass, please?

Oh, I'm just gonna--

Ma'am, you can't

take out the glass.

Pass the dice.

I'm out of here.

I'll be right back, ok?

Ma'am, you can't

take out the glass.

Um...

can I just finish it?

Color me up.

I'm done.

That was some move

you pulled.

- Joe, Joe JR. Is not in there.

- What?

I talked to them.

He said

he never came in.

- What are you talking about?

- I don't know.

I've been walking up and down

the strip looking for him.

All right.

Stay here in case he shows.

- Where are you going?

- I got to go find him.

What are you doing?

You can't go back in the casino.

Where else am I gonna go?

It's the only place he knows.

All right,

but don't panic.

- I won't panic.

- All right. Joe!

Joe!

Joey.

Joe, where you going?

Come on.

The bus will take me

all the way

to Grand Central Station

in New York City.

Then I get

on the number 7

to route 100,

and it takes me

all the way home.

Come on. What are

you doing here?

I called Miss Santini.

You have to dial

a 1 first.

She said Janice

sounds very nice.

I told her

that I was sorry

and I want to go

back to the bunk.

You know, this greyhound must

be a three-day ride, you know?

Two days, 10 hours,

and 50 minutes.

I told Miss Santini

that every man

has got problems,

and I'm a man,

and I have problems,

but my dad says

that the group home

sounds like a nice place,

and I believe him.

She said that

I could go home

until the group home

is ready for me,

and in 6 months, they're

gonna need me very much.

Yeah. Well, I need

you very much.

I want you to stay

with me.

I want to go

to the group home

and get a new job

and meet new friends,

but you can write me.

You can write letters

if you want to.

Ok, but I want you

to come home with me

and Janice, ok,

on the plane, all right,

And then we'll

talk about it.

I love you, dad.

I love you, dad.

I love you very much.

I know.

Hey...

Hey, wait a minute.

You take this money.

Take some money.

Need some money?

Here. When you

get back there,

you call me, all right?

I'll be

waiting for you.

Joe Duma the winner.

Ha ha ha!

Oh...

What happened?

Did you find him?

I found him.

Where is he?

He went back to

the place he likes.

You let him go?

He let me go.

You're not gonna

believe me, Janice.

What happened,

he called Miss Santini.

He got on a Greyhound

bus by himself.

He had maps, schedules.

He had everything

all planned.

You should see

how happy he was.
