Dumb Luck

Hi, yeah, I'm not here.

You know the routine.

I'll get back to you.

Hey, Kelly, Norman.

Haven't heard from you in a while.

I got something that concerns you.

It's big.

Hey, meet me at the mall by the phones tomorrow, 12:30.

It's numbers.

Hey, I got no time to explain.

I'll see you there tomorrow, 12:30.

Hey, Stevie, it's me.

I don't want anything.

I don't just call when I want something.

No, I've got a surprise for you.

You have a date.

Oh, come on.

Don't be that way.

She's a really nice girl.

You said yourself if I set this up for you, that you would go.

So I set it up.

Today at Cottonwood.

Oh, yeah.

Her name is Sandy, and she'll be waiting for you by the phones.

She's going to wear slacks and a sweater

and have a red scarf tied around her neck.

Uh-uh, hang on.

Kids, come on.

Move it.

Breakfast.

She is a real looker, little brother.

You're going to have a great time.

She'll know you.

Ah, yes, that's perfect.

OK, all right.

I'll let her know.

Bye bye.

You know what she's going to be don't you?

-What. -A whale.

You don't know that.

Besides, Aunt Vivian said that we'd be surprised.

Oh, I'm planning on it.

Do you remember the last one?

Brunswick was afraid to sit next to her.

You and mom should have stayed together.

It wasn't my idea, remember?

Why did you bring Brunswick?

Our code won't work without an excuse.

I got him trained to do a sick act.

Huh, Brunswick?

He doesn't look sick.

Hungry, yes.

Sick, no.

You see, I can hypnotize him.

Kevin, nobody can hypnotize a dog.

That's what's so cool about it.

I got the program off the internet.

And all you have to do is tie a treat to a string,

and make him watch it.

Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.

You're going to make him neurotic.

We'll have to take him to a shrink instead of a vet.

Now, when you want to ditch her,

just ask me about the vet appointment for Brunswick.

Right?

With my luck, she'll probably think it's for me.

Back and forth.

You're feeling sick.

It'll pass.

Deal, you open.

Oh, no.

I don't want to play dumb luck with you anymore, Kevin.

As a matter of fact, you shouldn't be gambling at all.

It's not real gambling.

Then how come I keep losing money?

OK, hang on.

Full house.

I got four of a kind.

Four of a kind?

Put up or pull out.

You want to see them?

Cost you double.

The entire state

is yielding to Lotto fever.

That's because the Diamond Lotto total is up to $29 million

with one more day before the drawing tomorrow night.

$29 million.

Following the lottery--

Well.

Lieutenant

governor Blaine Mitchell will--

What?

Four nines.

Fork it over.

Yeah.

My son, Amarillo Slim.

Dad, the ticket to the Powerball game.

Yes, I will get the Powerball game.

For grandma.

You try the Lotto game, kid.

Best pick's menu.

Loads in all the winning numbers of the year so far.

Program factors them in.

Very sweet.

Cool, so did you win with it?

No.

Well, what would you pick?

All the small numbers.

How small?

Under ten.

These things are expensive.

You got to spend some to make some.

Just ditch her now.

Do you think I want your Aunt Vivian all--

Excuse me.

He's probably a shoplifter.

You think.

Cool.

That guy was big.

Awesome.

There is a kid and his father right

up there with a shopping bag.

The kid has got it.

I will give you a call.

You just get that bag.

Get the--

Dad, she's a babe.

She's not wearing a red scarf though.

So?

Just go say hi.

Hi.

Sorry we're late.

You are?

Vivian is pretty intense when it comes

to matchmaking, isn't she?

She is.

I-- I usually don't go for blind dates, I mean.

But she's-- she's very, very persistent.

You know Vivian.

I know Vivian.

Sandy, right?

Again, I'm sorry that we're late.

We did some shopping.

Me too.

Time kind of got away from us.

I'm Steve Hitchcock.

This is my son Kevin.

Kevin.

Kevin.

Hey.

Hi.

I'm Sandy.

Would you like some lunch?

Sure.

Stop running.

You stay still.

You don't move.

Where is it?

Where's what?

Wrong answer, Byers.

Computer theft is a felony.

You got the wrong guy.

No, that's the wrong story, bub.

We want those numbers.

Would you like dessert?

Yeah.

-Ladies first. -No, thank you.

It was wonderful though.

Hey, I see you've been shopping.

Yep, always spend more than I should.

I know about that.

Dad, you forgot this.

Thing's still hot.

So, dad, I think we'd better get going.

We still have that appointment for Brunswick, remember?

It'll wait.

We have to take our dog to the psychiatrist.

No, the vet for his shots.

Well, if you have to go, I understand.

No, no, it's fine.

The dog is fine.

Really.

Why don't you go check on him?

I really enjoyed our lunch.

I'm glad.

I did too.

Hey.

Get him.

Stop running away from me.

This guy, he's done for.

At least I don't have to chase him anymore.

I've got to make a call to the office.

Would you excuse me?

OK, thanks.

Here, let me help you with the--

I think that one's mine.

You're right it is yours.

They look the same.

They do.

Just like high school.
