00:00.000 --> 00:07.000
Auto Light and its 98,000 dealers bring you Mr. Richard Widmark in tonight's presentation

00:11.120 --> 00:14.120
of Suspense.

00:14.120 --> 00:21.120
Tonight, Auto Light presents the story of a man who tried to learn a lesson the hard

00:22.400 --> 00:29.000
way. He bet his life on the turn of a card. It's called The Card Game. Our star, Mr. Richard

00:29.000 --> 00:34.960
Widmark.

00:34.960 --> 00:40.960
This is Harlow Wilcox with the $100,000 question. Have you signed up in the Auto Light family

00:40.960 --> 00:46.840
charity drawing? If so, you may be one of the 25 persons selected to name your favorite

00:46.840 --> 00:52.620
church, hospital, school, or other recognized local or national charity to receive a big

00:52.620 --> 00:59.620
share of $100,000. To enter is simple. Listen to this on the spot interview in Bronxville,

00:59.720 --> 01:00.440
New York.

01:00.440 --> 01:02.000
May I have your name, please?

01:02.000 --> 01:03.600
Yes, I'm Mrs. William Keith.

01:03.600 --> 01:07.400
I understand that you've signed up for the Auto Light family charity drawing, is that

01:07.400 --> 01:07.800
right?

01:07.800 --> 01:08.760
That is right.

01:08.760 --> 01:10.640
When you signed up, was there any trouble to it?

01:10.640 --> 01:13.400
None whatsoever. I just signed my name and address.

01:13.400 --> 01:14.240
And no obligation?

01:14.240 --> 01:14.960
No obligation.

01:14.960 --> 01:17.400
Well, that's fine. And may I wish you good luck.

01:17.400 --> 01:18.080
Thank you.

01:18.080 --> 01:23.560
So friends, sign up tomorrow at any or all of these Auto Light family car dealer showrooms.

01:23.560 --> 01:29.520
The Soto, Hudson, Plymouth, Studebaker, Dodge, Willis, Nash, Packard, Kaiser, or Chrysler.

01:29.520 --> 01:32.520
Not much time left, so don't wait.

01:32.520 --> 01:38.800
And now, Auto Light presents Transcribe Mr. Richard Widmark in The Card Game, hoping once

01:38.800 --> 01:45.800
again to keep you in suspense.

01:54.560 --> 01:55.520
That five dollars?

01:55.520 --> 01:57.000
Yeah, that five dollars.

01:57.000 --> 01:59.880
Me with a little pair of ducks.

01:59.880 --> 02:02.160
Too much for you, eh?

02:02.160 --> 02:03.000
Too much.

02:03.000 --> 02:05.280
What do you say?

02:05.280 --> 02:12.280
I'm mistaken. I thought.

02:12.280 --> 02:15.280
Half to you, Reagan.

02:15.280 --> 02:18.200
And five more.

02:18.200 --> 02:21.600
Bening into my pair of eights, Reagan.

02:21.600 --> 02:25.440
Well, your funeral.

02:25.440 --> 02:28.080
I'll see you, Reagan.

02:28.080 --> 02:31.040
I'll raise you another five.

02:31.040 --> 02:33.720
Call you.

02:33.720 --> 02:36.440
That's three, Reagan.

02:36.440 --> 02:38.160
Three eights.

02:38.160 --> 02:42.160
Yeah, beats me, Larry.

02:42.160 --> 02:45.160
Another day, another dollar.

02:45.160 --> 02:46.160
Let's see what happens.

02:46.160 --> 02:49.160
Excuse me, gentlemen.

02:49.160 --> 02:52.160
You all right, bud?

02:52.160 --> 02:55.160
You want his hand?

02:55.160 --> 02:58.160
Yeah, I'm in.

02:58.160 --> 02:59.160
All right, Reagan.

02:59.160 --> 03:00.160
Huh?

03:00.160 --> 03:03.160
Just a minute.

03:03.160 --> 03:10.160
Yeah, that was kind of tough on you, betting into my three eights with a lousy pair of

03:10.160 --> 03:11.160
queens.

03:11.160 --> 03:14.160
It was a good pair of queens, just not good enough.

03:14.160 --> 03:15.160
Yeah, yeah.

03:15.160 --> 03:17.920
Well, that's the way the game goes, eh?

03:17.920 --> 03:19.560
I know how the game goes, Larry.

03:19.560 --> 03:20.960
Don't look so sad for me.

03:20.960 --> 03:21.960
I'll win it back.

03:21.960 --> 03:22.960
Sure you will.

03:22.960 --> 03:23.960
Sure you will.

03:23.960 --> 03:26.960
You weren't thinking of quitting for the night, were you?

03:26.960 --> 03:29.960
Well, as a matter of fact, I was, yeah.

03:29.960 --> 03:33.960
I thought you wanted to play poker.

03:33.960 --> 03:36.960
I did, but I'm broke.

03:36.960 --> 03:37.960
That's enough.

03:37.960 --> 03:40.960
Yeah, you're a real two-bit player, aren't you?

03:40.960 --> 03:45.960
Walk in here with sixty, seventy dollars and figure you'll take us.

03:45.960 --> 03:48.960
You ain't ever going to take no, one, Reagan.

03:48.960 --> 03:51.960
You're just a cheap little two-bit chiseling player.

03:51.960 --> 03:52.960
Yeah, well, let me tell you something.

03:52.960 --> 03:55.960
I'm going to get lucky some night, then I'm going to clean up on a game.

03:55.960 --> 03:56.960
Sure, sure, sure.

03:56.960 --> 03:59.960
Now you go home and dream about a kid.

03:59.960 --> 04:04.960
But what's going to happen to you is just what happens to all cheap boys.

04:04.960 --> 04:06.960
You're not a big time gambler.

04:06.960 --> 04:09.960
You're just a two-bit chiseler.

04:09.960 --> 04:12.960
And don't come back here for a game anymore.

04:12.960 --> 04:14.960
We don't like the way you play.

04:21.960 --> 04:22.960
I knew a man in Bayonne once.

04:22.960 --> 04:25.960
He started out flipping dimes in the morning and he was playing poker.

04:25.960 --> 04:29.960
He'd play dimes in the morning and by midnight he'd been in one crap game and one card game

04:29.960 --> 04:33.960
and he had seventy-five thousand dollars.

04:33.960 --> 04:37.960
But me, it hasn't happened yet.

04:37.960 --> 04:39.960
But someday it will.

04:43.960 --> 04:45.960
But the baby's due in a couple of weeks, Jenny.

04:45.960 --> 04:47.960
You shouldn't be working.

04:47.960 --> 04:49.960
I called your office this morning.

04:49.960 --> 04:52.960
They told me you quit two days ago.

04:52.960 --> 04:54.960
Six jobs in six months, chick.

04:54.960 --> 04:57.960
I didn't want to worry you, Jenny.

04:57.960 --> 05:00.960
I guess I'm just not cut out to be a real estate salesman.

05:00.960 --> 05:02.960
But you don't have to go to work, honey.

05:02.960 --> 05:03.960
Yes, I do.

05:03.960 --> 05:05.960
I have a very special reason.

05:05.960 --> 05:06.960
We haven't got any money.

05:06.960 --> 05:08.960
I'll pay the rent, Jenny.

05:08.960 --> 05:09.960
How?

05:09.960 --> 05:11.960
Well, I can't lose forever.

05:11.960 --> 05:12.960
Chick.

05:12.960 --> 05:17.960
Look, Jenny, if I can just get a stake, I mean a good stake, and get in the right game, I...

05:17.960 --> 05:19.960
Well, I know our luck will change.

05:19.960 --> 05:22.960
You've got to change, chick.

05:22.960 --> 05:23.960
I thought I could change you once.

05:23.960 --> 05:26.960
I even thought you were changing when you told me you'd take a real job and all.

05:26.960 --> 05:27.960
But it's no use.

05:27.960 --> 05:28.960
You're a gambler.

05:28.960 --> 05:30.960
You always will be.

05:30.960 --> 05:33.960
Always waiting for change of luck.

05:33.960 --> 05:34.960
There's just no cure for you.

05:34.960 --> 05:37.960
Oh, honey, we've had better days, lots better days.

05:37.960 --> 05:39.960
Don't say things like that.

05:39.960 --> 05:44.960
Don't you see, no matter what you win or lose, it won't make any difference?

05:44.960 --> 05:47.960
You'll always be wanting a bigger stake, a better game?

05:47.960 --> 05:49.960
Look, I knew a man from Bay Old once who...

05:49.960 --> 05:51.960
I know, I know, I know.

05:51.960 --> 05:55.960
He'd bet $75,000 in one day.

05:55.960 --> 05:57.960
What do you suppose that $75,000 meant to him?

05:57.960 --> 05:59.960
When he had it, it was just another stake.

05:59.960 --> 06:02.960
Well, let's not argue about it, Jenny.

06:02.960 --> 06:04.960
Come on.

06:04.960 --> 06:06.960
I don't want to argue anymore, chick.

06:06.960 --> 06:09.960
I know it's hopeless.

06:09.960 --> 06:13.960
So hopeless that I'm going to divorce you.

06:13.960 --> 06:15.960
Jenny.

06:15.960 --> 06:17.960
No.

06:17.960 --> 06:18.960
Don't put your arms around me, please.

06:18.960 --> 06:23.960
Honey, I just couldn't make it without you.

06:23.960 --> 06:25.960
You'll have to, chick.

06:25.960 --> 06:26.960
I mean it.

06:26.960 --> 06:27.960
But Jenny, what do you think I...

06:27.960 --> 06:28.960
I have to leave pretty soon.

06:28.960 --> 06:32.960
When I come back, I hope you'll have your things packed and moved out of here.

06:32.960 --> 06:34.960
Look, suppose I got another job.

06:34.960 --> 06:36.960
Would that help?

06:36.960 --> 06:37.960
Would it cure you?

06:37.960 --> 06:39.960
Sure, sure it would.

06:39.960 --> 06:41.960
If it's a good job where I could make some money.

06:41.960 --> 06:42.960
Honestly?

06:42.960 --> 06:43.960
Sure.

06:43.960 --> 06:47.960
Or would you take the first paycheck and go out and get into a poker game like you did last night?

06:47.960 --> 06:48.960
Oh, that's just it.

06:48.960 --> 06:53.960
If I can get enough money to get into the right kind of a game, I can make things all right, darling.

06:53.960 --> 06:57.960
You wouldn't have to work or worry about anything.

06:57.960 --> 07:00.960
Chick, I can't do that.

07:00.960 --> 07:02.960
That's why I'm asking you to leave.

07:02.960 --> 07:04.960
But you've gone along with me all this time.

07:04.960 --> 07:05.960
Yes.

07:05.960 --> 07:08.960
Hoping all this time.

07:08.960 --> 07:10.960
But now things are different.

07:10.960 --> 07:11.960
We're going to have a baby, chick.

07:11.960 --> 07:14.960
Don't you understand?

07:14.960 --> 07:15.960
We can't go on this way.

07:15.960 --> 07:18.960
You've got to get a job and keep it and stop gambling.

07:18.960 --> 07:20.960
I'll get us a house, Jen, and some money.

07:20.960 --> 07:24.960
And, well, I've got to have a change of luck.

07:24.960 --> 07:27.960
Change of luck.

07:27.960 --> 07:29.960
Oh, Chick.

07:29.960 --> 07:31.960
Jenny.

07:31.960 --> 07:32.960
Jenny.

07:32.960 --> 07:41.960
Jenny.

07:41.960 --> 07:42.960
I'm right.

07:42.960 --> 07:47.960
All I need is a little luck and I can make it all in one night instead of working 40 years.

07:47.960 --> 07:49.960
Tonight I can make it before Jen leaves me.

07:49.960 --> 07:51.960
I know I can.

07:51.960 --> 07:53.960
If I can just get in the right game.

07:53.960 --> 08:03.960
If I can just figure a way of getting into the right game.

08:03.960 --> 08:05.960
Always like to make clothes for you, Mr. Regan.

08:05.960 --> 08:06.960
No trouble at all with the fitting.

08:06.960 --> 08:07.960
Yeah.

08:07.960 --> 08:11.960
To have some nice wistards and some imported flannels if you'd like to order some today.

08:11.960 --> 08:15.960
Oh, I'm afraid I don't have the time today, but I'll get in as soon as I can.

08:15.960 --> 08:16.960
How much do I owe you for the suit?

08:16.960 --> 08:20.960
That's gone up a little since you were in, Mr. Regan, 300 and tax.

08:20.960 --> 08:21.960
All right.

08:21.960 --> 08:22.960
Just send me the bill.

08:22.960 --> 08:25.960
Sure.

08:25.960 --> 08:29.960
Did you still drive that fancy sports car you bought in Europe?

08:29.960 --> 08:31.960
Oh, yes.

08:31.960 --> 08:34.960
Once you get used to one of those things, you don't want to drive anything else.

08:34.960 --> 08:35.960
So how much does set you back?

08:35.960 --> 08:37.960
$12,000.

08:37.960 --> 08:38.960
Wow.

08:38.960 --> 08:42.960
Well, the prices you charge for a suit, it shouldn't be too much of a joke.

08:42.960 --> 08:43.960
I have overhead, Mr. Regan.

08:43.960 --> 08:44.960
Terrible overhead.

08:44.960 --> 08:46.960
My tailors come pretty high.

08:46.960 --> 08:48.960
$200 a week for a master tailor.

08:48.960 --> 08:49.960
All right.

08:49.960 --> 08:53.960
Well, I'd like to borrow your car, won't you?

08:53.960 --> 08:54.960
Hmm?

08:54.960 --> 08:57.960
Now, how long have I been getting clothes from you?

08:57.960 --> 08:58.960
Off and on, 10 years, I guess.

08:58.960 --> 09:01.960
Well, then don't look at me as though we just met this afternoon.

09:01.960 --> 09:03.960
I'd like to borrow the car for the night.

09:03.960 --> 09:04.960
A favor.

09:04.960 --> 09:06.960
Of course, Mr. Regan.

09:06.960 --> 09:07.960
Here, it's out front.

09:07.960 --> 09:08.960
Thanks.

09:08.960 --> 09:09.960
Thanks a lot.

09:09.960 --> 09:12.960
You're thinking of buying a car just like it, and you want to try it out.

09:12.960 --> 09:13.960
That's it, isn't it?

09:13.960 --> 09:16.960
Well, let's let it stand that way.

09:16.960 --> 09:18.960
When will you be back?

09:18.960 --> 09:19.960
Tomorrow morning, OK?

09:19.960 --> 09:20.960
Anytime's fine.

09:20.960 --> 09:22.960
Wait a minute, Mr. Regan.

09:22.960 --> 09:23.960
Yeah?

09:23.960 --> 09:25.960
I've got to tell you what's on my mind.

09:25.960 --> 09:26.960
What's that?

09:26.960 --> 09:33.960
Well, first, I'll tell you that you'd be surprised the four flushes I've got on my books who couldn't pay $30 for a suit, let alone $300.

09:33.960 --> 09:36.960
I'm remembering that you've always paid me cash.

09:36.960 --> 09:40.960
But I haven't seen you in a year, and today you came in and asked me to send you a bill.

09:40.960 --> 09:42.960
I'm not worried about that.

09:42.960 --> 09:44.960
Well, you're worried about something.

09:44.960 --> 09:52.960
Like I said, it's been a year, and I've heard that things haven't gone so well with you lately, and I'm wondering if a suit and car have something to do with it.

09:52.960 --> 09:56.960
Mr. Regan, you wouldn't do anything foolish, would you?

09:56.960 --> 09:59.960
Walshy, I'll tell you something.

09:59.960 --> 10:10.960
Now, you know that there are some people who are impressed by expensive clothes and fancy cars and all that stuff, and sometimes it's a good idea to impress them.

10:10.960 --> 10:13.960
Now, tell me, does that sound foolish?

10:19.960 --> 10:21.960
The first step.

10:21.960 --> 10:26.960
The next was to sit down and figure how do you get into a big game with no dough?

10:26.960 --> 10:28.960
That one I couldn't figure.

10:28.960 --> 10:32.960
I had an idea, but I had to find out if it would work or not.

10:32.960 --> 10:34.960
I knew one thing.

10:34.960 --> 10:38.960
If you want to win big, you have to take chances.

10:38.960 --> 10:41.960
And I took one when I walked into the bar.

10:48.960 --> 10:49.960
Mr. Regan.

10:49.960 --> 10:50.960
Hello, Harry.

10:50.960 --> 10:52.960
Well, like old times.

10:52.960 --> 10:54.960
Well, let me, Mr. Regan.

10:54.960 --> 10:55.960
Well, let's try your scotch.

10:55.960 --> 10:57.960
Sure.

10:57.960 --> 11:00.960
Haven't seen you around for a long time, Mr. Regan.

11:00.960 --> 11:02.960
I've been out of town, Harry.

11:02.960 --> 11:03.960
Vegas?

11:03.960 --> 11:05.960
Yeah, Vegas.

11:05.960 --> 11:07.960
Where's your suntan?

11:07.960 --> 11:09.960
I stayed indoors.

11:09.960 --> 11:11.960
I guess you did.

11:11.960 --> 11:14.960
Water, soda, what?

11:14.960 --> 11:15.960
Just like that, that's fine.

11:15.960 --> 11:16.960
That's smart.

11:16.960 --> 11:19.960
Only way to take it.

11:19.960 --> 11:21.960
Sandals doing all right here, huh?

11:21.960 --> 11:23.960
In every department.

11:23.960 --> 11:26.960
Out front, behind the front.

11:26.960 --> 11:29.960
You gonna play a little tonight, huh?

11:29.960 --> 11:31.960
No, I don't think so, Harry.

11:31.960 --> 11:33.960
Just stopped by for a drink.

11:33.960 --> 11:35.960
What?

11:35.960 --> 11:38.960
You know about the big game Sato has every night?

11:38.960 --> 11:39.960
Real big.

11:39.960 --> 11:41.960
Yeah, I've heard something about it.

11:41.960 --> 11:42.960
Sure.

11:42.960 --> 11:43.960
Who you trying to kid?

11:43.960 --> 11:44.960
What?

11:44.960 --> 11:50.960
You never in all your life ever came into a joint like this just for a drink.

11:50.960 --> 11:53.960
You're a gambler, Mr. Regan, and there's no cure for it.

11:53.960 --> 11:55.960
Well, hello, Harry.

11:55.960 --> 11:57.960
Oh, good evening, Mr. Sato.

11:57.960 --> 12:00.960
Chick Regan, isn't it?

12:00.960 --> 12:01.960
That's right.

12:01.960 --> 12:02.960
The doorman pointed you out.

12:02.960 --> 12:04.960
He raved about your car.

12:04.960 --> 12:07.960
Pretty nice thing to get around in.

12:07.960 --> 12:09.960
I like it, Jim.

12:09.960 --> 12:11.960
Hey, now I remember.

12:11.960 --> 12:12.960
You do?

12:12.960 --> 12:13.960
Yeah.

12:13.960 --> 12:15.960
You was pit boss for me in one of my places.

12:15.960 --> 12:19.960
You used to call me Mr. Sato.

12:19.960 --> 12:20.960
Did I?

12:20.960 --> 12:21.960
Yeah.

12:21.960 --> 12:24.960
Well, let's say I've changed, Jim.

12:24.960 --> 12:26.960
Okay, let's say that.

12:26.960 --> 12:27.960
Bio-work?

12:27.960 --> 12:28.960
No, no, no, no, thanks.

12:28.960 --> 12:30.960
So fill us up again, will you, Harry?

12:30.960 --> 12:32.960
Sure.

12:32.960 --> 12:34.960
Anything wrong?

12:34.960 --> 12:37.960
Yeah, just wandering about you.

12:37.960 --> 12:41.960
Well, why don't you wander somewhere else?

12:41.960 --> 12:44.960
Real cocky these days, huh, kiddo?

12:44.960 --> 12:45.960
That's all right.

12:45.960 --> 12:46.960
I like that.

12:46.960 --> 12:48.960
It means you got dough.

12:48.960 --> 12:52.960
Say, Chick, the crowd's playing back in there behind those curtains,

12:52.960 --> 12:57.960
but upstairs I have something else going, something special.

12:57.960 --> 12:58.960
Here you are.

12:58.960 --> 12:59.960
Thank you.

12:59.960 --> 13:01.960
We could use another player.

13:01.960 --> 13:05.960
How would you like to come to my office and try it out?

13:05.960 --> 13:06.960
Try out what?

13:06.960 --> 13:07.960
What are you talking about?

13:07.960 --> 13:10.960
A good game for some real partner.

13:10.960 --> 13:11.960
No limit.

13:11.960 --> 13:13.960
Are you inviting me?

13:13.960 --> 13:14.960
I'm inviting you.

13:14.960 --> 13:16.960
Sorry, I just dropped by for a drink.

13:16.960 --> 13:19.960
Well, have it and then come on up.

13:19.960 --> 13:20.960
No, I didn't bring any money.

13:20.960 --> 13:21.960
Thanks, just the same.

13:21.960 --> 13:24.960
Well, your IOU is all right with me, kiddo.

13:24.960 --> 13:26.960
I know you're good for it.

13:26.960 --> 13:28.960
How do you know that?

13:28.960 --> 13:32.960
Well, you've been in the business a long time.

13:32.960 --> 13:37.960
You know what happens to a guy who can't pay his way.

13:37.960 --> 13:38.960
When do you begin?

13:38.960 --> 13:40.960
Right away.

13:40.960 --> 13:58.960
Let's go.

13:58.960 --> 14:02.960
Auto Light is bringing you Mr. Richard Widmark in The Card Game,

14:02.960 --> 14:17.960
tonight's presentation in radio's outstanding theater of thrills, Suspense.

14:17.960 --> 14:21.960
And now, in connection with the Auto Light Family Charity Drawing,

14:21.960 --> 14:25.960
here's another actual interview as recorded in Greenwich, Connecticut.

14:25.960 --> 14:27.960
How do you do, sir, and may I have your name?

14:27.960 --> 14:28.960
Michael Spizzano.

14:28.960 --> 14:31.960
I understand that you just signed up for the Auto Light Family Charity Drawing.

14:31.960 --> 14:32.960
Is that right?

14:32.960 --> 14:33.960
That's right, sir, I have.

14:33.960 --> 14:34.960
And why did you sign up?

14:34.960 --> 14:39.960
Well, our local schools need an addition, and if my name is picked, I'll designate them.

14:39.960 --> 14:41.960
I think that's wonderful, and the best of luck to you, sir.

14:41.960 --> 14:42.960
Thank you.

14:42.960 --> 14:46.960
Why don't you help your favorite local or national charity, too?

14:46.960 --> 14:51.960
It won't cost you a cent, and you have an opportunity to be among the 25 persons selected.

14:51.960 --> 14:55.960
Remember, there's nothing to try or buy, nothing to write or solve.

14:55.960 --> 15:01.960
All you do is visit any Auto Light Family car dealer showroom and fill out a registration form.

15:01.960 --> 15:09.960
Your entry may be worth many thousands of dollars to your local church, hospital, or other pet local or national charity.

15:09.960 --> 15:17.960
So why not visit one of these car dealers, DeSoto, Hudson, Plymouth, Studebaker, Dodge, Willis, Nash, Packard, Kaiser, or Chrysler?

15:17.960 --> 15:21.960
There's not much time left, so sign up tomorrow.

15:21.960 --> 15:30.960
And now, Auto Light brings back to our Hollywood soundstage Mr. Richard Wittenmark in Elliot Lewis's presentation of The Card Game,

15:30.960 --> 15:35.960
a tale well calculated to keep you in suspense.

15:35.960 --> 15:50.960
It's simple. All you need is the right night, the right game, and the right cards.

15:50.960 --> 15:59.960
Then you sit down and you remember everything you ever learned in every little two-bit game you've ever played, and you do it all just right.

15:59.960 --> 16:07.960
When you're finished, you're on your feet once and for all. You've got a pile, and then you give it up.

16:07.960 --> 16:10.960
And that's the way to be cured.

16:10.960 --> 16:16.960
But you don't know that's why I came here tonight, do you, Sago? You don't know anything.

16:16.960 --> 16:18.960
All right, spread that deck out there. Let's see who deals.

16:18.960 --> 16:21.960
Come on, come on. I'll introduce you to the boys.

16:21.960 --> 16:22.960
Fine, sure.

16:22.960 --> 16:25.960
Boys, hey, this is Chick Reagon.

16:25.960 --> 16:26.960
Oh, hi.

16:26.960 --> 16:27.960
Bill Archer, Chick.

16:27.960 --> 16:28.960
Hello, Bill.

16:28.960 --> 16:29.960
Hi, Lou Humble.

16:29.960 --> 16:31.960
Lou, hi.

16:31.960 --> 16:33.960
Well, make yourself comfortable, Chick.

16:33.960 --> 16:35.960
Thank you.

16:35.960 --> 16:37.960
That's nice to have some fresh blood in the game.

16:37.960 --> 16:39.960
Yeah, take a card.

16:39.960 --> 16:40.960
Hmm?

16:40.960 --> 16:45.960
Oh, sure. Queen.

16:45.960 --> 16:48.960
Three.

16:48.960 --> 16:52.960
Ten.

16:52.960 --> 16:55.960
Well, what do you know? Ace.

16:55.960 --> 16:56.960
You deal.

16:56.960 --> 17:01.960
Oh, here you are, Chick.

17:01.960 --> 17:04.960
That's $10,000 worth of chips.

17:04.960 --> 17:06.960
Is it too steep?

17:06.960 --> 17:08.960
No, no, no, fine.

17:08.960 --> 17:15.960
All right. Hand me up.

17:15.960 --> 17:27.960
Well, good luck, everybody.

17:27.960 --> 17:30.960
That's how I got here. That's how I got into this.

17:30.960 --> 17:35.960
That's why now I look into different faces from the games I'm used to.

17:35.960 --> 17:37.960
These guys aren't kidding.

17:37.960 --> 17:41.960
They're cold about it. Hard.

17:41.960 --> 17:44.960
But if my luck changes, I'll be in business.

17:44.960 --> 17:48.960
I'll have everything we ever wanted in all our lives.

17:48.960 --> 17:50.960
I'll take it to her, I'll show her, and I'll say,

17:50.960 --> 17:55.960
Jenny, Jenny, here it is. I won't gamble anymore.

17:55.960 --> 17:57.960
I'll beat them all, Jenny.

17:57.960 --> 17:59.960
All I need is one hand.

17:59.960 --> 18:03.960
Just that one hand to get me going.

18:03.960 --> 18:06.960
A thousand.

18:06.960 --> 18:10.960
Thousand? Okay for me.

18:10.960 --> 18:13.960
Thousand. Thousand more.

18:13.960 --> 18:19.960
Kind of frisky tonight, aren't you?

18:19.960 --> 18:20.960
You're going to stay in?

18:20.960 --> 18:22.960
I'm in.

18:22.960 --> 18:28.960
You're thousand, and a thousand more.

18:28.960 --> 18:36.960
Here we go again. Six. Queen.

18:36.960 --> 18:37.960
Ace.

18:37.960 --> 18:38.960
Pull it for you, Chick.

18:38.960 --> 18:41.960
Yeah.

18:41.960 --> 18:45.960
I get a king. Ace bet.

18:45.960 --> 18:52.960
Let me check my whole card.

18:52.960 --> 18:57.960
Five hundred.

18:57.960 --> 19:00.960
I'll see another.

19:00.960 --> 19:03.960
I will too.

19:03.960 --> 19:07.960
You can fight it out yourselves. Everybody else out?

19:07.960 --> 19:10.960
Okay, here we go.

19:10.960 --> 19:13.960
Ten with the queen.

19:13.960 --> 19:16.960
Another ace with the ace.

19:16.960 --> 19:18.960
I thought that.

19:18.960 --> 19:20.960
I don't like that guy's run.

19:20.960 --> 19:24.960
Well, what do you know? A king with my king.

19:24.960 --> 19:26.960
Bet the aces?

19:26.960 --> 19:29.960
Thousand.

19:29.960 --> 19:32.960
Here are vases of the pair of kings showing.

19:32.960 --> 19:36.960
I gave up a long time ago.

19:36.960 --> 19:37.960
Jim?

19:37.960 --> 19:44.960
With a pair of kings, I have to see one more card.

19:44.960 --> 19:47.960
Ten for you.

19:47.960 --> 19:49.960
Jack for me.

19:49.960 --> 19:52.960
You still bet?

19:52.960 --> 19:54.960
Ten thousand.

19:54.960 --> 19:57.960
You really mean it.

19:57.960 --> 19:58.960
Ten, huh?

19:58.960 --> 20:00.960
Ten.

20:00.960 --> 20:07.960
Take it.

20:07.960 --> 20:08.960
I'm winning.

20:08.960 --> 20:11.960
It's beginning to happen just the way I hoped it would happen.

20:11.960 --> 20:14.960
There's nothing that can stop me now.

20:14.960 --> 20:16.960
I'll beat them all right off their feet,

20:16.960 --> 20:19.960
because the cards are coming to me, coming to me.

20:19.960 --> 20:23.960
And they can't do anything about it.

20:23.960 --> 20:24.960
In?

20:24.960 --> 20:25.960
You in?

20:25.960 --> 20:27.960
Oh, yeah, yeah.

20:27.960 --> 20:29.960
I'm in.

20:29.960 --> 20:31.960
Me too.

20:31.960 --> 20:32.960
Your call.

20:32.960 --> 20:35.960
Pretty aces, pretty jacks.

20:35.960 --> 20:36.960
Two pair, huh?

20:36.960 --> 20:37.960
Yeah.

20:37.960 --> 20:39.960
It's too lucky for me.

20:39.960 --> 20:42.960
I might alone.

20:42.960 --> 20:44.960
What do you say, Chick?

20:44.960 --> 20:47.960
I've got three queens, Jim.

20:47.960 --> 20:50.960
Let's see them.

20:50.960 --> 20:53.960
Three parts in a row, Chick.

20:53.960 --> 20:55.960
You got the whammy on me or something, huh?

20:55.960 --> 20:56.960
Just luck.

20:56.960 --> 20:57.960
Take your money.

20:57.960 --> 20:59.960
Sure.

20:59.960 --> 21:00.960
Hey.

21:00.960 --> 21:01.960
Hey!

21:01.960 --> 21:03.960
Bring us a new deck.

21:03.960 --> 21:05.960
This Reagan's getting too lucky.

21:05.960 --> 21:11.960
That's right, Sando.

21:11.960 --> 21:12.960
Get good and sore.

21:12.960 --> 21:14.960
Fumble around the rest of the night if you want to.

21:14.960 --> 21:18.960
It's okay with me, because the sore you get, the better off I'll be.

21:18.960 --> 21:21.960
And the better it'll be for my wife and my kid.

21:21.960 --> 21:22.960
So keep getting sore.

21:22.960 --> 21:24.960
I like it, Mr. Sando.

21:24.960 --> 21:31.960
I like it.

21:31.960 --> 21:32.960
Good beat.

21:32.960 --> 21:34.960
What time you got?

21:34.960 --> 21:35.960
Five-thirty.

21:35.960 --> 21:36.960
What do you say?

21:36.960 --> 21:38.960
Shall we call it a night?

21:38.960 --> 21:39.960
I'm all for it.

21:39.960 --> 21:41.960
How about one more round?

21:41.960 --> 21:43.960
Chick here's been awfully lucky.

21:43.960 --> 21:45.960
I'd like another crack at him.

21:45.960 --> 21:46.960
Okay, Chick?

21:46.960 --> 21:48.960
Or do you want to cash in?

21:48.960 --> 21:50.960
I'll play one more.

21:50.960 --> 21:52.960
I kind of thought you'd rather walk out.

21:52.960 --> 21:54.960
You thought wrong.

21:54.960 --> 21:55.960
I'm winning.

21:55.960 --> 21:56.960
That's right, kiddo.

21:56.960 --> 21:57.960
You're winning.

21:57.960 --> 21:58.960
Not me.

21:58.960 --> 21:59.960
I've dropped thirteen.

21:59.960 --> 22:00.960
I've had it for tonight.

22:00.960 --> 22:01.960
Me too.

22:01.960 --> 22:02.960
You hear that?

22:02.960 --> 22:04.960
They don't want to play anymore.

22:04.960 --> 22:06.960
Well, in that case, I guess...

22:06.960 --> 22:09.960
How you like to double that pot?

22:09.960 --> 22:10.960
Sure.

22:10.960 --> 22:11.960
Sure, I'll drop in tomorrow.

22:11.960 --> 22:13.960
Right now.

22:13.960 --> 22:16.960
How much you got there?

22:16.960 --> 22:17.960
Forty-two thousand.

22:17.960 --> 22:19.960
I'll cut you.

22:19.960 --> 22:21.960
High card, take all.

22:21.960 --> 22:22.960
I love Jim.

22:22.960 --> 22:28.960
Why don't you shut up?

22:28.960 --> 22:30.960
There you are, Chick.

22:30.960 --> 22:31.960
All or nothing.

22:31.960 --> 22:32.960
High card.

22:32.960 --> 22:34.960
You don't have to do anything.

22:34.960 --> 22:40.960
Let him make up his own mind.

22:40.960 --> 22:41.960
You know, I had an idea.

22:41.960 --> 22:45.960
He came in here tonight to see how far he could go.

22:45.960 --> 22:47.960
I don't know exactly what he had in mind,

22:47.960 --> 22:51.960
but he's been a two-bit player.

22:51.960 --> 22:53.960
I still think he is.

22:53.960 --> 22:58.960
And I might be wrong, but I want to find out.

22:58.960 --> 23:02.960
Are you a two-bit player, Reagan?

23:02.960 --> 23:10.960
Put your chips out, Jim.

23:10.960 --> 23:12.960
Okay.

23:12.960 --> 23:14.960
Pick a card.

23:14.960 --> 23:16.960
You first.

23:16.960 --> 23:21.960
Two.

23:21.960 --> 23:23.960
Eight.

23:23.960 --> 23:30.960
Beat it.

23:30.960 --> 23:32.960
Three.

23:32.960 --> 23:35.960
Well, that's tough.

23:35.960 --> 23:36.960
That's tough.

23:36.960 --> 23:38.960
You play all night and you build up a nice hall,

23:38.960 --> 23:40.960
and it all goes on one card.

23:40.960 --> 23:41.960
That's tough, Chick.

23:41.960 --> 23:44.960
But better luck next time.

23:44.960 --> 23:47.960
You ain't a two-bit player.

23:47.960 --> 23:48.960
No hard fees.

23:48.960 --> 23:50.960
No.

23:50.960 --> 23:53.960
I'm not even a one-bit player, Jim.

23:53.960 --> 23:54.960
Huh?

23:54.960 --> 23:58.960
My IOU is no good.

23:58.960 --> 23:59.960
Well...

23:59.960 --> 24:01.960
But that car of yours...

24:01.960 --> 24:03.960
It isn't my car.

24:03.960 --> 24:05.960
I haven't got a dime, Santa.

24:05.960 --> 24:08.960
I've been playing with your money all night.

24:08.960 --> 24:10.960
And you was going to walk out of here with it?

24:10.960 --> 24:11.960
Huh?

24:11.960 --> 24:14.960
Yeah.

24:14.960 --> 24:16.960
You hear that?

24:16.960 --> 24:17.960
I heard.

24:17.960 --> 24:19.960
Yeah.

24:19.960 --> 24:21.960
Sorry, Chick.

24:21.960 --> 24:25.960
You knew what you were doing.

24:25.960 --> 24:36.960
Harry, get the door.

24:36.960 --> 24:40.960
I don't want to remember what they did to me.

24:40.960 --> 24:44.960
But I'm going to as much as I can.

24:44.960 --> 24:46.960
I woke up in the morning.

24:46.960 --> 24:51.960
I was lying in a ditch next to a highway outside of town.

24:51.960 --> 24:55.960
No one had given me a lift because of the way I looked.

24:55.960 --> 24:58.960
But somehow I got home.

24:58.960 --> 25:01.960
And Jenny was gone.

25:01.960 --> 25:04.960
And that's really what finished it for me.

25:04.960 --> 25:08.960
They'd taken her to the hospital while I was with Santa.

25:08.960 --> 25:15.960
And Jenny had had our baby.

25:15.960 --> 25:17.960
Jenny...

25:17.960 --> 25:19.960
Jenny, darling.

25:19.960 --> 25:22.960
Chick, what happened to you?

25:22.960 --> 25:24.960
I'm all right, honey.

25:24.960 --> 25:25.960
What about you?

25:25.960 --> 25:27.960
I told you.

25:27.960 --> 25:29.960
I told you I'm fine.

25:29.960 --> 25:33.960
And our baby boy is fine, but your face...

25:33.960 --> 25:35.960
Who did this to you?

25:35.960 --> 25:37.960
Who were they?

25:37.960 --> 25:42.960
Some people I tried to steal from, Jenny.

25:42.960 --> 25:43.960
What?

25:43.960 --> 25:46.960
I got in that one game I've always been talking about.

25:46.960 --> 25:47.960
I had it.

25:47.960 --> 25:52.960
I had it all for us, enough for a house, enough for the kid.

25:52.960 --> 25:54.960
You were right, honey.

25:54.960 --> 25:59.960
It was just another stake so I could try for something bigger.

25:59.960 --> 26:02.960
I lost it all, Jenny.

26:02.960 --> 26:07.960
And I lost it while you were here having the baby.

26:07.960 --> 26:08.960
Chick...

26:08.960 --> 26:10.960
Well, I learned my lesson.

26:10.960 --> 26:13.960
This time I'm cured.

26:13.960 --> 26:16.960
No more gambling.

26:16.960 --> 26:19.960
Chick, are you sure?

26:19.960 --> 26:22.960
I'm sure, darling.

26:22.960 --> 26:25.960
Will you take me back?

26:25.960 --> 26:28.960
Yes, darling.

26:28.960 --> 26:31.960
Then I won, didn't I?

26:31.960 --> 26:33.960
Yes, darling.

26:33.960 --> 26:35.960
You won.

26:53.960 --> 26:54.960

John Grenette.

27:24.960 --> 27:26.960
When you entered, just what did you have to do?

27:26.960 --> 27:28.960
All I did was sign my name and the address.

27:28.960 --> 27:30.960
Did you have to buy anything or try anything?

27:30.960 --> 27:33.960
Not a thing. Just fill out a form.

It's called the Bertillon Method.

28:17.960 --> 28:19.960
