Where are you Dad?

Man: You are not my mother. I'm tired of you telling me

how to live my damn life.

Lidda.

Lidda, turn off the music.

Raymond wants to sleep. He's got to be up by 4:30.

Lidda.

Jesus fucking Christ!

- Where are you going? - Why is Raymond back?

It's nice to have a big man around.

Yeah, I remember things that weren't nice.

You've got to give people chances, Lidda.

Where are you going?

Hey, don't leave me, baby, you're all I got.

Mom, please.

Oh my God, I'm sorry.

I am so sorry, baby, I forgot all about it.

Happy birthday, honey.

You're not leaving me! I'm still your mother.

Lidda, I know where you're going.

Listen to me, please, just for a minute.

I raised you, not him.

I worked hard to keep us together.

He's nothing. He's nothing but a no good,

gambling, drunken son of a bitch!

- That what he is! - Mom, I've gotta go!

He only cares about himself!

Lidda, don't go. Come back!

Lidda! Lidda!

I've got to do this, Mom.

What's it like in here when nobody's in it?

About the same as now, except you're not here.

- When do you get off work? - Midnight.

- What's your name? - Lidda.

Is Colonel your real name?

Nobody else would want it.

- Hey, you want a drink? - Yeah, sure.

- I'm so sick of this town. - Yeah, who isn't?

You know, in school,

I used to watch you pitch.

Oh yeah?

Never said boo to me.

Boo.

Hold on.

You're gonna ask if I do this a lot, and I'm gonna say "no."

You're gonna say, "really?" Like you don't believe me.

I'm gonna say, "it's my day, I feel old, I'm gonna do what I want to do."

What? What's wrong?

What?

I'm going on a trip.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

What do you think?

Do you want to come?

What do you mean?

You can't like this job too much.

- I've got a lot going on. - Yeah, like what?

You're not supposed to smoke in here.

You've got a girlfriend?

You didn't get that?

If I knew a joke, I'd tell it.

Sorry.

- Hey, Colonel. - Gil.

- You got a gun now? - What's it look like, dickface?

- Time's up. - No, I still got till tomorrow.

It's 10 minutes till tomorrow, Colonel.

This is only 4C.

That's all I got, all right?

- You already took my car. - Here.

Take this.

This is 3C. Nope, it ain't 3G!

- Hey, if you want, I got... - Move it, babe!

Go, go!

Run, run, get in the car!

Let's go, come on! Come on!

- I guess I owe you one, huh? - Yeah, you owe me about $300.

- Is he gonna chase after us? - Gil?

No, he still rides a bicycle.

Where we going?

- He's in 4-0-4. - 4-0-4?

Play my hand for me.

What the hell's going on here?

What a mess, huh?

Nice doing business with you, buddy.

Adios.

Shake it, baby.

Come on in.

Tony.

What do you know?

The great Charlie "Red" Doyles is back in town.

Heard you went back East after I busted you out.

Heard you got back on your feet,

took down a big score in Atlantic City.

I'm doing all right.

- How about yourself? - No complaints.

Business is great. I've got the best girls in town.

Can I offer you one?

A drink, I mean.

No, thanks.

What's on your mind, Charlie?

You've come to see Sugar? You miss her, don't you?

- No, not really. - Are you looking for action?

- Yeah, a little older. - Now you're talking.

Are you ready to make another donation?

- $ 100,000. - Small potatoes.

Let's raise the bar, make it worth our while.

Two, two-fifty?

Three big big?

You know where to find me.

I always do.

What happened, Colonel?

I thought you were going to be a pro baseball player.

Next thing I hear, you were thrown out of school.

Now, people want to kill you.

You're pretty popular, huh?

It didn't work out. Football killed me this season.

Anyway, poker's my real game.

You want to be a poker player?

No, I am a poker player, okay?

The best.

Don't you dream about other things?

All I dream about is poker.

You know how some people are better before you talk to them?

That's how it is with you.

You were great, and then I said "hi."

Thanks, why don't you turn around? I'm going back.

Are you kidding me? I'm not going back there.

I'm never going back there.

Shut the window, it's freezing.

You gonna smoke all the way to Vegas?

If you don't like it, get out.

I bet you've never had a boyfriend.

I have. I've had 34.

That's why you're so backwards.

- Oh yeah? - Yeah.

Whoa. Slow down.

Slow down.

You don't have to go so fast.

It's a little highway!

Stop the car!

What the fuck were you doing?

Jesus Christ!

Fucking A! What were you thinking?

Look at this!

Your fucking tire's blown, so go get the spare.

No spare.

There's no spare?

We're stuck in the middle of nowhere because of you!

If it wasn't for me you'd be in the morgue!

Yeah, right!

I should have just driven off and left your sorry ass!

- I don't know why I didn't. - That would've been fine!

- Oh yeah? - Yeah! It's better than this!

Because a smart gambler never taps out.

Even if it's 20 bucks, he hangs on to it!

- Smart! - That's great!

We could've been shot and you held on to your money.

You don't know what you're talking about at all!

This is the worst birthday I've ever had.

- Why don't you cry about it? - Shut up!

Shut the fuck up and give me my $300!

Fine, here it is, $300.

I thought we had something in common. I guess not.

I don't want to be around losers.

Yeah, fuck off!

Las Vegas.

Man, 15 hours in the sky from Rome to Vegas.

I like flying. Do you like flying?

- I don't fly. - No?

I drive.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what's your name again?

- Call me Frank. - Frank... Frankie,

I want to explain three things to you.

Number one, we don't speak Italian here,

- we speak English. - All right.

Number two, look at me when I'm talking to you.

And number three, what was number three?

Yeah, number three, what?

Don't question anything I say.

We'll get along just fine. You got that?

Let's go gentlemen, put your hands together

for Tiffany and Cha Cha.

Show your appreciation with those tips.

I like that!

Yeah, over here!

He won't be playing cards with you no more, huh, Tony?

- That's too bad. - Too bad.

- Is it clean? - Not yet.

What are you waiting for?

Jimmy, Charlie Doyles is back in town.

He's staying at the Bourbon Street Hotel

I want you to keep an eye on Sugar.

Yeah, yeah.

Buy yourself another shirt.

- Bring Frank in here. - Frankie, come here!

Frankie.

Come here. Give your uncle a hug.

- You look great! - It's nice to see you.

I can't believe he's all grown up.

I used to carry him in my arms. Now look at him.
