"...in order to strategically evaluate "g" we will replace an "r"" "with the appropriate distance and mass." "So the acceleration of gravity "g" is determined, uh, by "m" and "r" at the earth´s surface." "Now we know that objects, uh, vary from place to place so in order to evaluate it we will simply use "M-G"." "Now if we want to, uh, evaluate an object some distance from the earth..." "Yes!" "Katlin." "Perhaps you can answer the equation if, for example," "G equals six point four times ten to the sixth?" "Um, V equals... six point zero times ten to the twenty-fourth power." "Pretty good, Katlin." "See you tonight." " Bye, guys!" " See you later." "Bye, bye..." "Ten bucks?" "I mean, the way you screeched I thought it was like a thousand." "Yeah, well, I can´t help it, I think of it in Euros." "Just think, this represents a half a night in a youth hostel full of Dutch guys." "So what do we have today?" "Hey... wow!" "Hi." "How many books can you honors girls carry?" "You look like sherpas." "Yeah, well, we´re smart and strong, Janice." "So, you coming tonight?" "Oh, shit, um, can Maureen come?" "I s Cheryl´s birthday party." "Oh, cool." "Sure, you can come." "Awesome." "What kinda party?" "Oh, it´s just a few of us." "My place at eight." " Alright." "Thanks, Katlin." " Cool..." "Happy birthday, Cheryl." "Thanks." "Whad you go and do that for?" "Because... they get like a hundred bucks a week allowance." "And they´re girls." "Acey-deucey-one-eyed-jack girls." "Oh, I see." "You wanna play poker tonight." "Twenty bucks a stake, mean that´s Europe, first class." "Pretty crafty, Katlin." "Europe will be great." "True, true!" " Hi, Mom!" " Hey, guys!" "Hi, Mrs. Palmerston." "Hi." "Let´s go." "Can I drive?" "Uh... mmm..." "Just no techno, okay?" " Deal." " Lucky!" "Off to the mall!" "Hey there, birthday girl!" "Presents!" "Well..." "I´ll see you guys tonight." " OK." "Bye." " Bye, bye." "Just... slowly." "Right." "Consolidate." "Ya, well, uh, consolidate." "That´s my advice." "Third and ten." "Thanks, buddy." "Did you read the, uh, Times article?" "Hello!" " Hey." " Hi, Dad." "Uh, give it a read and call me back." "One bag each!" "It´s not been a good month, Val." "Packers won." "Did they?" "What´s the spread?" "Thirty-one to seventeen." "No, the spread, not the score." "Ummm..." " Fourteen." " Yeah." "He can do it." "Bingo!" "Vegas had the Packers by twelve." "Can we clear this off, Alastair?" "What for?" "Dad, I told you." "Cheryl´s birthday party." "Well, can´t they do it downstairs?" "I told Katlin it was up to her." "Ohmigod!" "It´s the backpack." "Thank you!" "Thank you!" "My mom helped." "A lot." "That must be them." "Prepare to be Janiced." "You´ve met Maureen, right?" " Ya, nice to see you again." " Hi... you too." "Hey." "Look who I found." "And I have a little contribution for the party." "Look under your chair, Cheryl." "Cellar raid." "Ditch it if your Dad comes down here." "Thanks, Mom." " Yeah, thanks." " Thanks." "Well, I thought if I brought down some wine, you guys might lay off the crystal meth." "Have fun." "You guys want some cake?" "Barf." "So Cheryl." "Whadaya wanna do for your birthday?" "Oh, I dunno." "Play cards?" "Alright." "Five card, one draw of two." "We´ll make it a little bit easier with deuces and one-eyed Jacks wild." "Ante up, ladies." "Tough stand..." "I´m out." " Nice." " Thank you." "Not nice enough." "I´m totally out." " See ya later." " Bye." "I´ll raise you five bucks." "Ooooh..." "I´m out." "I´ll see your five." "All right, sorry ladies, I´m out." "Now I´ll raise you... fifteen dollars." "I see that." "And raise you..." "Fourty..." "Fourty-five." "Fourty-six, seven, eight." "Fourty-eight dollars and fifty cents." "I´ll take an I.O.U..." "Well, screw this..." "Whaddaya got, Rounder?" "Umm..." "Nothing but garbage!" "What a liar." "It´s called bluffing." "Bitch!" "So, it´s your turn to deal, Maureen." "I´d rather stick pins in my eyes, but thank you." "You really get a rush out of this, don´t you?" "So, what are you gonna do with the money?" "She´s gonna buy a baguette." "In Paris." "My business manager." "Apparently." "One night of cards." "Eighty five bucks closer to Amsterdam." "Beats McJobbing, huh?" "But I don´t know, I mean... don´t ya feel kinda weird about taking their money?" "We won it, we didn´t take it." "Look!" "Look, look..." "Wha s up with them?" "Matt Birman just shot you with his finger." "Hey, but..." "Shhh... shut up, shut up..." "So, brains." "Heard you fleeced Maureen at poker last night." ""Fleeced" actually means "cheated"." "I just kicked her ass." "Maybe you want in on the football pool then." "See, the tiny little boxes are the games, and the itty bitty numbers..." "Tim?" "If you figured it out, I´ll be fine." "Are these your odds or the straight Vegas line?" "A mix." "Is that okay with you?" "Just fine." "Give me Steelers over Washington at six... what else?" "And Denver over Cincinatti four and a half." "I´ll take the dog." "Put me down for sixty." "Any more?" "Got lots of action open." "Not today." "Thanks, Katlin." "Bye, Cheryl." "Ohmigod, that was a wesome." "Katlin, since when do you know anything about football?" "Are you kidding?" "Osmosis." "Between my Dad and Terry, I could referee a Rose Bowl." "You are a total maniac." "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Go!" "Run, you big doofus!" "Run..." "Ya!" "I told you the Steelers were on fire!" "I´m going for a run." " Hi, Mom." " Football?" "Over Fashion File?" "Cheryl thinks the quarterback has a nice ass." "I do not!" "I don´t." "Well, it´s hard not to notice when they´re bending over patting each other all the time." "Back in a bit." " Go, go, go, go, go..." " Come on!" "Come on!" "...did we just...?" "We won." "We won!" "Ohmigod." "Tha s the two games we picked." "Ohmigod." "How much money is that?" "Sixty, eighty, one hundred..." " Keep it coming." "...one-twenty, one-thirty." "All the guys saw a girl´s name on the chart and everybody bet against you." "You are money." "My pleasure, Matt." "Let´s see what you got today." "Maybe we should just quit while we´re ahead." "Relax, I played it real safe." "Look, you want to take your half?" "I won´t be offended." "No." "It just..." "You know, Katlin, it it makes me more nervous than you." "If we had any guts at all we´d pool everything." "I mean everything, and start our own pool." "Katlin!" "Great." "Ohmigod." "Is that her brother driving?" "So?" "Hot!" "You guys have met my brother Ron, right?" "I remember you." "Remember, the last time I saw you you were around eleven, right?" "Yeah." "Playing kick the can with Janice." "It´s, uh, been a while." "So you´re the card shark, right?" "Well, hardly." "So, you wanna ride someplace?" "Uh, I´m with a friend." "Hi, friend." "You both can come, you know." "It´s okay, we´re gonna walk." "Some other time then." "Sure." "Maybe." " Bye, Janice." " See ya." "You coulda gone, you know." "No way." "I was a real idiot wasn´t I?" "No!" " Yes I was!" "I was a geek, wasn´t I?" " No, no!" "Oh!" "Sweeeeeet!" "You were fine!" "Giants or Dolphins, Terry?" "Giants." "Giants." "Or Dolphins." "Who cares?" "You care." "She and Cheryl were practically cheering at the TV yesterday." "She´s in a pool." "A football pool?" "Why didn´t you tell me?" "You made up some story... about asses no less." "Because... it´s embarrassing." "Who´d you pick?" "Umm, Giants, Philly and Seattle." "Well, you´re bold, but you´re not an idiot." "How much?" "Five bucks." "Five bucks is all right." "It´s entertainment." "If there weren´t gamblers in this family, there wouldn´t be any food on the table." "You run a hedge fund, honey, you´re not Bat Masterson." "Listen, Cheryl and I are putting it all towards Europe." "But it´s Matt Birman´s pool." "He´s the one really raking it in." "I could make a ton more if I had my own pool..." "No, Katlin." "This Matt Birdbrain, or whatever his name is, can loose that money just as easily as he wins it." "And that´s the risk." "OK, but seriously, Mom, I mean..." "Katlin." "I said no." "So please don´t turn to your mother." "Now, this is exactly what I have been talking about." "I was gonna say no too." "I don´t want her in any pool." "Gambling is cheesy, Katlin." "It doesn´t suit you." "I s not cheesy." "But if you´re gonna play, you set yourself a five buck limit, you don´t chase your losses and do your research." "Oh, gawd, don´t say that." "She loves research." "Saints and Seattle, a two team parlay, for Mr. Hogan." "Katlin!" "You learn fast." "Yeah, well, I didn´t know you guys had an exclusive." "I don´t." "Let´s have a look at your action." "And do us a favor." "Don´t get caught." "Yeah." "I´m going up to Mr. Chalmer´s office right now to see if he wants in." "Smart ass." "You took their money?" "Well." "They take ours." "Well, Katlin, I hope you know what you´re doing." "I mean, everything we saved is on the line." "Paris, mon amie." "Merde." "You know, you´ll probably be taking bets on the Tour de France." "Hi guys." "Anyone for the Packers?" "Packers." "Calling Packers." "Twenty bucks." "Great." "Twenty." "They´re six and over." "Great." "Fifteen." "Hey, aren´t you in my math class?" "St-Louis have four..." "Alright, Dallas over Broncos by seven and a half..." "San Fran´s a dog by twelve, and your Bears at nine over St-Louis." "Alright, let´s go." "You got that?" "Great..." "What the hell is that?" "Great..." "Thanks." "Alright, Bengals were a push, we´re even, great..." "No, you don´t get a mark with the first bet you make with me okay?" "Go hit a bank machine." "Where you going?" "Yeah, screw you." "Okay." "Hey!" "See ya later, girls!" "Oh, that´s nice!" "Oh, no, this is mine." " What about that?" " Yeah!" " Sorry." " That´s nice." "D´ ya ever notice how money kinda smells like urine?" "That´s it!" "I knew it smelled familiar." "With today´s pay offs..." "And purchases." "We´re still up like seventeen hundred dollars." "Ohmigod!" "Okay, well, let´s buy the tickets." "We have a lot of action out right now." "I need a pretty big float." "What´s going on?" "I hate my duvet." "Well, use that print coverlet I bought." "I´ll try it." "Okay, is this too, uh," ""see how young I am" for your Dad´s crowd?" " No." " No." " It´s fun." " Cute." "Glo-stick, candy necklace?" "Bye, Mom." "Bye." " That was close." " Yeah!" "You know what I´d like to do with this?" "More than anything?" "What?" "Put it in a briefcase, give it to my Dad and say," ""Here, do something with this, will you?"" " Europe, baby!" " I know!" "Doesn´t it kinda smell like it?" "Yeah, it does." "Totally." "Two to one, plus on top of that..." "Don´t spend it all in one place." "Jeff!" "Even you win today?" "Sixty, eighty, a hundred..." "Just take it." " Go!" " What happened?" "The spreads were all wrong." "How?" "I don´t know how." "The moon was in the wrong alignment." "Well, how much did we lose?" "We´re fine, okay?" "Katlin, how much is left?" "Okay, now, see..." "What´s that for?" "Look, we cant´t cover everyone, all right?" "So, instead of freaking out all the time, why don´t you back me up for once?" "Hey." "The big winners." "That´s right." "Sweet three team parlay." "I s like six to one." "I think i s like, what, nine hundred dollars?" "I think it was nine hundred fourty." "Feeling the heat yet, Katlin?" "From you?" "You want heat, Tim, le s go double or nothing." "She doesn´t have it." "Spurs over Dallas tonight." "B-ball, now." "And you´re betting against Dallas." "You want the payout, fine." "I´ll take your double or nothing." "You better be serious." "I´m all serious." "What are you, her lawyer?" "Katlin, what have you lost your brain?" "It´s okay." "I got a scoop off the web." "The Mavericks star center is out." "Tomorrow the debt will be nil." "Or double!" "Jesus, Katlin." "Why didn´t you pay those guys first?" "Because I knew that they´d take the bet." "And they don´t know that Althone isn´t playing." "Who?" "Althone." "The Mavericks´ star." "Birman´s not even on top of the injuries." "Katlin, you know, I just don´t think I can do this anymore." "You can´t wuss out on me now." "Katlin, it´s all our money!" "In one morning!" "I´m on top of it, Cheryl." "Okay?" "Sports section." "Sports section, please?" "You´re welcome." "What´s bugging you?" "Nothing." "School stuff." " Shit!" " Hey!" "The losing part sucks, doesn´t it?" "They made it seem like Althone was gonna get his leg amputated!" "Now he´s "stretched it out" and ready to play?" "Oh, Katlin." "You´re not still in that football thing?" "No, Ma, it´s basketball." "Well, teams always exaggerate or hide their in juries." "It´s a psych." "That game´s on." "Yessss!" "Shit!" "Okay stop now." "Hey!" "Payday!" "That basketball´s a bitch, Katlin." "You should probably a void it." "C´mon, pay up." "Well, coulda worked without a miraculous recovery, right?" "Guy makes eight figures in sponsorship alone." "I think he´s got a good doctor." "So it goes." "I owe you eighteen hundred." "And eighty." "But don´t worry." "You´ll feel better once we´re spending it." "Yeah..." "I can ha ve it in a couple days." "Give me a break." "Whatever." "I mean, people owe me." "Bank machines have daily limits." "It´s gonna take at least a day or two to get it together." "I want an installment... today." "I´ll see what I can do." "At lunch." "Good." "Proposition." "If I get you that wicked snowboarding jacket you really want, what would you pay?" "What do you mean exactly?" "I mean no questions asked." "All I got is fifty." "Right, yeah..." "Alright, whaddya guys think?" "It´s a nice color." "So, what´s this?" "None of your business." "It didn´t fit me, okay?" "Come!" "Look, I am covering the debt." "By selling stuff to Janice?" "What´s the difference?" "I´m gonna give back your money." "How, Katlin?" "It´s like thousands." "Alright?" "Europe may as well be the moon now." "Look, I don´t have to pay you back." "But I am offering, because apparently I´m a little bit more resourceful than you." "You know, Katlin, you are totally losing it." "So..." "Katlin..." "Mom!" "Do you have to startle me?" "Sorry." "Honey, it´s really late." "I know." "And it´s going to be later if I don´t get this essay done." "Program´s a lot of pressure, hunh?" "Well, hang in." "G´night..." "Terry, we gotta go!" "Katlin, were you in my purse?" "Which one?" "Going through them all would take weeks." "Very funny." "I´m pretty sure I´m missing fifty dollars." ""Pretty sure"?" "Am I throwing a fit?" "I did it to my mother once or twice, I just wanna know." "Terry, shoes!" "Shoes!" "I told you three times!" "You´re a big boy now!" "Oh, hi." "Hey." "You know, I heard Birman´s into you for like seven thousand dollars." "Yeah, it´s bad, but it´s not that bad." "Yeah, well where you off to?" "Because I gotta get my brother´s car back anyway." "Oh." "Um, I can´t miss anything today." "One class." "C´mon, he´ll even give us a ride back." "Hey!" "I know." "Hey." "Yeah." "Okay." "Bye!" "Girl trouble?" "Depends what you guys wanna do." "Yeah, well, we´ve got school." "Tha s one option, yeah." "I´ve got ecstasy." " Claude´s got ecstasy." " Really?" "Don´t you think it´s a little early for that?" "Kids..." "Just presenting alternatives." "How about cards?" "Oh gawd, here we go." "That´s right." "You´re the card shark." "Ya, well, poker sucks." "So why don´t we do the E." " Hi..." " Hi..." "So, got a little lunch money to make things interesting?" "I might." "Alright, so I think you should take the white one, cuz I´ve tried that before..." "So who do you usually play with?" "Got a regular game or...?" "Nah... you know, just for fun." "Up at the cottage with my Dad... whatever." "Uh huh." "Well, I´ll tell you what." "You and me could sit around all afternoon trying to take each other´s money." "Yeah..." "Or I could get on the phone, call a couple guys, try to make a real game out of it." "So call ´em." "How many, Ron?" "Two, Buddy." "Let´s take it up a notch, ladies." "Bet´s a hundred." "I´m so high." "Don´t clench your teeth." "Let her bet, Janice." "Go eat some ice." "Mmmm..." "I want some ice..." "Don´t you know you shouldn´t smoke that shit during your lunch break?" "Nice." "Bet´s a hundred." "I´m a ware." "Look out." "She´s careful." "If you´re making odds with God, little girl, you got a problem." "I don´t need God with this hand." "I´ll bump it up a hundred." "That´s another hundred to you, Kent." "Yeah, okay." "I´ll see the cheerleader for a hundred." "Me too." "Rah-rah." "Can´t wait." "Ron?" "I´m out." "Keep taking my money like that, I´m not going to like you anymore." "Yes you will." "Ron´s out with a hard on." "Alright, dealer´s in." "Pot´s respectable." "Let´s see what ya got, sweetheart?" "Straight flush to the nine." "Aw, jeez..." "Aww, man..." " What does that feel like?" " Did she win?" "No, no, we´re just teaching her a little lesson over here." "Give her a beer or something." "A big one!" "So do you guys always play five card or can I mix it up a little bit?" "Dealer´s call, Lolita." "Alright, how´s Texas Hold ´em, no limit?" "Ouch!" "Too early for that?" " I´m game." " No, no, I´m in." "Shit!" "I gotta take this." "Gimme a minute." "What is it, her banker?" "Is her bicycle double-parked?" "Mom." "Hi." "No, I´m sorry." "Look, I completely forgot." "Yeah, Cheryl and I are studying." "I dunno, like, seven..." "Okay, I promise." "Okay, bye." "Hi." "Hi." "Your Mother?" "Uh..." "I´m a friend of Ron´s." "Got a card game in there?" "You don´t have to answer that." "Blair." "What are you doing here?" "Well, you didn´t come by." "Yeah... got caught up here." "Sorry." " Can you give me a sec?" " Yeah..." "Hey, doing good, you can clean those guys out." "...dropping your principal..." "Nothin´." "I´ll see you." "Okay, then you can see two eights and two queens." "Two pair, tens and kings." "Ha, ha!" "Three sevens." "Okay, this is getting ridiculous." "Ahhhh, gentlemen, gentlemen, gentlemen..." "I´m late for dinner as it is, and I have homework to do." "Excuse me?" "I don´t get a chance to win back some of my money?" "She has homework!" "Where did you find this girl?" "She showed up with my sister." "She has homework for gawd sake!" "Oh..." "Whoa!" "Katlin..." "You´re like seventeen." "Sorry." "I don´t feel seventeen right now." "No, you don´t." "But you are." "Oh, shit, who cares?" "Man, what a day." "I know." "It was great." "I´m up, I´m down." "It´s just a wesome." "What?" "Ah, you´re gonna think I´m a total skid." "No, tell me." "Say it." "Well." "Since you won so big and fat... how about lending me half?" "What?" "You are a total skid." "Ah, I told you." "What do you need it for?" "Same as you." "A debt." "But a guy owes me too, so..." "So... when do I get it back?" "A week." "Well, I guess I could pay those football pool guys later." "But I´m warning you." "I´m mean." "I´m sure of it." "Where were you?" "What´s wrong?" "Katlin?" "I was at Cheryl´s." "No you weren´t." "You weren´t even at school today." "Yes, I was." "Katlin, they called after I spoke to you." "You missed a test." "Now, where were you?" "I´m seeing a guy." "I think." "Ron Lunderman." "Janice´s brother." "Well... that´s news..." "Not exactly an excuse." "And did you have to lie about it on the phone?" "No." "But, I don´t know, he´s older." "Like, twenty-two." "Look, Katlin, you´re allowed to have..." "you´re supposed to have fun, just please don´t lie to me, okay?" "Yeah." "Ohmigod!" "Fashionably late, Katlin." "Sorry." "You´re slipping, kiddo." "So, what´d you get?" "A "B"." "You know you look like crap." "Thanks." "Katlin, the pool guys are really pissed off." "I mean, Tim Hammond is saying a lot of stuff." "Like what?" "He´s gonna get his money back." "You know, why´d you even sit here?" "Katlin?" "You´re wanted at the office." "Tell me why I´m here." "Not quite sure what to lie about?" "Okay, convince me this isn´t your credit card bill." "You went through my room?" "You went through my purse?" "Twenty-six hundred dollars past due!" "The balance goes up and down like a yo-yo!" "Cheryl and I were booking things for Europe." "Uh..." "Katlin!" "I can use the internet!" ""Rambler-Gambler-dot-Com"?" "Wha..." "What has gotten into you?" "Look, i s not all mine." "We pooled some money together to bet on the internet." "Who?" "Is it that Ron guy?" "It´s not Ron." "It´s just some friends." "We wanted to make extra money, and we lost." "It was stupid." "Just don´t tell Dad." "Give me that card." " Give it to me!" " Okay." "I´m gonna have to cover it on my card." "Mom, we´re gonna pay you back." "You´re Goddamn right, Katlin!" "I can´t afford it either." "Okay, I´m too angry to talk anymore." "No internet casinos." "No pools." "No bullshit." "Or no Europe." "Okay." "And don´t you dare treat me like an idiot." "It´s bad enough I´m about to treat your father like one." "I´m sorry." "Not very." "Hey!" "Katlin!" "Come here!" "Hello." "What are you gonna do?" "Beat me up in here?" "Nice." "Very intimidating." "You´re not paying, Katlin." "I hear she´s got family problems." "We´re gonna start charging you interest." "How´s prime plus two?" "Why don´t you gimme your account number and we´ll automate the payments." "Why do you have to be such a bitch?" "Everyone else just pays up." "Yeah, well, maybe if your buddy here stopped bad mouthing me, you´d find it easier to collect." "Am I bad mouthing you?" "Suckhole smart ass bitch?" "Get off me!" "You know what?" "You just sunk to the bottom of my list." "Asshole." "He drops her!" "Don´t!" "Please!" "There´s like a thousand bucks in here." " What?" " Don´t..." "I was gonna..." "Oh, bullshit you were "gonna"!" "You know what Katlin, you´re pathetic." "Don´t take all of it..." "Just pay us the rest." "I need my money." "Hey." "How´s it goin´?" "Stupid little no-see-um football pool pricks!" "I thought you were gonna put off the football pricks." "Yeah, well, I didn´t!" "All right?" "I got them." "I got the credit card." "I got Cheryl." "J... just don´t ask." "Okay." "Well, umm..." "S-sit, sit down." "I need the money, Ron." "I know you do." "I just..." "I don´t have it." "It´s only been a few days." "I said I´d have it in a week." "But to be honest, Katlin, uh..." "it might take a little longer." "Come here..." "You´re a prick too, aren´t you?" "Your family´s probably freaking´ out on you, too, hunh?" "Yeah..." "Hey, it´s one thing I know there´s always a way out of it." "No matter what." "So you tell me what you want." "I just want..." "I want out from under it." "If it´s that serious, I know where to borrow money, but..." "From who?" " Where?" " Listen to me." "You´ll just owe someone else." "It doesn´t change anything." "Yeah, but if I can cover it with..." "With what I owe you." "Yeah, sure." "I´m saying you´re just shoveling your debt around, but, ummm... you know." "I don´t know if I know." "You don´t." "Hi, guys!" "Hey, Blair." "Hi, Katlin." "Judy, Katlin." "Katlin, Judy." "Hi." " Hi sweetheart." " Katlin, cup?" "I´ll go put another pot on." "Hey, Ron." "You know, Katlin, the lucky girl, she cleaned Ronnie´s buds out at poker the other night." "Really?" "Nice one." "Well, I wish I could beat the boys once in a while." "Some people shouldn´t gamble." "So, how much d´you take ´em for?" "Oh, you know, pretty good..." "Well, almost two grand." "Shit." "Easy come, easy go, eh?" "Yeah, I guess." "Well, I´ll go get that coffee." "Umm, is it okay if I borrow the bathroom?" "Sure." "Upstairs." "On the left." "Everything all right?" "Um..." "Yeah." "Can you take this down to Blair." "Hey." "Judy said, uh..." "Thanks." "Wanna hold that for a sec..." "So, uh, how much you gonna need?" "Three large?" "Sssssure." "If that´s okay." "Uh-hunh." "I can have it next Friday." "Sure thing." "It´s all good." "Great." "Thanks." "What´s up with their creepy With no furniture?" "I don´t know." "They´re minimalists." "Yeah, well, they´re weird." "So are you." "Freak." "It´s funny how you´re sitting´ over there... you got the guys covered, credit card covered, and you´re still thinking about what to do with the money." "Yeah?" "Funny... how you´re sitting over there thinking about the money, instead of over here trying to make out with me." "Well, you do have a few extra hundred." "Seriously." "I know this place we can go to." "A casino." "Not exactly, um, Vegas, but..." "private." "You mean illegal?" "You need to play some real black jack." "You can´t work a system with that internet shit." "The mysterious "system"." "Hey, it´s math, not magic." "I´ll show you some stuff." "Seriously." "It´ll be fun." "No." "Just set your limit, Katlin." "I can´t, Ron." "Why not?" "I have parents, remember?" "I´m not exactly golden over there right now." "So get creative." "Mom, it´s the debating team thing." "Not tonight, Katlin, no." "Environmental legislation, baby steps or window dressing." "I told you this like a week ago." "I don´t think you did." "If i s school she should go." "Shouldn´t I?" "Shouldn´t she?" "Ma, it really is." "Go then." "Is there a problem?" "No." "No problem." "Don´t look." "That´s trouble." "You trouble." "You go ´way!" "Go ´way!" "Just kiddin´, man." "Come on in, come on in." "Place your bets, please." "No more." "Go." "See that guy on the end?" "He´s got the anchor." "That´s the chair you want." "Good evening, gentlemen." "Place your bets, please." "That dealer´s working with a six deck shoe." "That´s sixteen faces or tens per deck..." "Ninety-six total." "Right." "Cash in." "So you want to count the ten point cards as they come out..." "Keeping track of how many are left in the shoe..." "Or your odds of pulling one, yeah." "Without moving your lips, Katlin." "Card counters get thrown out on their ass." "Too many." "Eighteen, sir." "No card." "Fifteen." "Okay, okay." "All I´m really doing with this system is evening my odds against the dealer?" "That´s all you can do." "Shave down risk and look for an edge." "Blackjack is nothing but cold calculation." "Okay, place your bets please." "Hit or stick?"

"You knew that when you came here." "You´re a smart girl." "We don´t need to spell it out for you, do we?" "Well, it´s still a bit tricky though, isn´t it?" "Well, it shouldn´t be." "We all want to tidy up the balance sheet here." "This debt´s a real problem for you, isn´t it?" "What if I can get it to you in a week?" "I can´t." "You see... then I´d be gambling on you." "I´m not a gambler." "That´s your thing." "You like movies, don´t you, Katlin?" "I guess." "Yeah." "So do we." "Did Ron ever tell you about our movies?" "He hasn´t mentioned them, no." "I think we could have some fun." "What do you think?" "I dunno." "Well..." "We´d really like it." "Mm-hmm." "Come on." "Sit over here." "I don´t know if I can..." "I haven´t done this." "Try." "Yeah, just try." "Okay?" "It´s no big deal." "Um..." "I guess I could maybe..." "What will I have to do?" "Oh, almost nothing." "Just have fun." "Blair isn´t really even that interested." "Mostly me." "You have girlfriends, don´t you, Katlin?" "Sure she does." "Girlfriends and boyfriends." "I don´t know if I like the camera." "Oh, come on." "Y´know what?" "It´ll only be us who´ll see it." "Nobody else." "Drink your drink." "Oh... wow!" "You look fantastic on tape." "Oh, yessss..." "I could wear something sexy for you." "Would you like to see some sexy stuff?" "There´s no hurry." "Look, in a little while, it´ll all be over." "You´ll be free." "So, we´ll start slow, okay?" "Just some kissing." "Okay?" " I can´t do this." " Katlin..." "Isn´t there another way?" "Sure." "I could tell your parents that you robbed your own house." "Blair, be nice." "I am being nice." "No debt." "Tha s how nice I´m being." "Would you like a couple of these?" "Might help?" "What are they?" "They´re just chill pills." "What are they like?" "They´re mellow." "They´ll help you to relax a little." "Now?" "Can I?" "I´m gonna... take this..." "There." "Just come on." "Relax." "That´s nice..." "Try..." "That´s nice." "That´s nice, Judy." "It´s our best one yet." "Katlin?" "Blair!" "Katlin!" "Oh, no!" "Oh..." "Okay." "Here we go." "Okay, we´re gonna go." "Uh huh..." "My bag..." "My bag..." "Mrs. Palmerston." " What´s the hurry?" " Get out of my way!" "No, no." "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!" "No," "I don´t want you leaving with the wrong impression, okay?" "Your daughter and I had an agreement." "There was a transaction." "And..." "Katlin is legal." "Yeah, and what you´ve done is not." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "What I´ve done?" "It... it amazes me how willfully ignorant people can be." "You don´t have the slightest idea about your daughter, do you?" "And you don´t want to know because that would change everything." "Katlin´ll tell me." "I robbed the house, Mom." "Am I supposed to be shocked?" "Let´s go." "Okay, now you listen to me, Val." "You listen very carefully." "I know who you people are." "So I know you´re gonna do the smart thing." "You´re gonna climb into your SUV, you´re gonna go home to daddy... and you´re gonna lie." "The way you always do." "Because that ends it." "It´ll just be a little secret between the two of you." "And if you don´t... if you should take this in another direction..." "I´ll come over to your house... and I´ll tear your family apart." "Mom..." "It´s okay." "Let´s go." "Is that okay?" "Is that okay?" "That´s right." "Just as long as we understand each other, it´s all good." "Stay in the car." "I´m sorry, Mom." "I´m sorry too." "I love you." "And we´re gonna get you help." "No more lies." "I don´t know what to get Terry." "Well, what about that scooter idea?" "I mean, he´d love wiping out on one of those." "He would." "But as a part of rehab I can´t carry any cash." "I don´t have a cent." "Not even for a birthday gift." "Alright." "Get in." "Will that be everything?" "Thank you." "Y´know I feel like such a..." "Well, don´t." "Okay?" "Write the card down from both of us." "Thanks." "Europe´s gonna totally suck without you." "No, it won´t." "Y´know, I´m really proud of you." "I mean, how you stood up and ended it." "You were always smart, but now you´re wise." "Wizened." "Yup." "Yeah." "Take care of yourself." "You know what?" "My aunt got him the same thing." "Great." "Change please." "Thanks."
