"A film by" "Those who live by the sword, die by the sword." "Then this guy, Belmondo I think, turns to the camera and says:" ""c'est bon, la campagne"." "The country is beautiful." "You get it?" "Straight to the camera." "And if you hate hills, lakes, the whole countryside, you can just go fuck yourself." "Starring" "It's weird to think you can actually make a living playing cards." "But like in all basic things, they're just a tool." "I am a professional poker player." "Special guest star investors give me money to play and I get 15 o/o of the profits." "If I win, cool. lf l lose, we're both fucked, him and me." "Art Designer" "Sounds quite simple, but the catch is I hardly ever lose." "But why do they give me their money?" "Why do I play?" "Now we come to the basics." "The ontology within gambling." "Man wants to organize things, and the fear of growing old and dying basically comes from his childhood." "In primary socialization he is capable of logical deduction and until the first traces of the abstract are visible, he is happy." "There are exceptions like people with an unhappy childhood." "They're forced to adopt the abstract before the end of primary socialization." "Growing up they realize that things just don't make sense." "The things they used to think were logical, aren't so logical any more." "Now people start approaching the abstract analytically." "We organize the abstract to find the logical." "The common question of what luck is and how to find it is expressed in other questions like what is absolute truth," "absolute beauty, love." "They're all mirrored in gambling." "And the answers are there, too, because gambling projects life." "Hello, yes, it's me." "I know it's over." "What am I supposed to do?" "I can't stop thinking about you." "I know, I know why we were together." "'cause..." "I don't know." "How can I say what I couldn't say these 5 years?" "OK, yeah." "So I'm selfish." "The whole world, everybody is selfish." "Altruism is something the rich can afford and those with nothing to give." "of course there's a point to this." "Yes, I'm saying the same things, I'm still the same person." "It's me, remember?" "You held me and told me you loved me." "You said you'd love me forever." "Remember?" "I don't know why." "Fuck, maybe I'll feel better if you admit that you screwed up too." "Just stop with the chick tricks!" "Hey, don't you hang up on me!" "If you hang up, I'll come and slam your head against the wall!" "Don't fuck with me!" "Fuck!" "So... organizing the abstract," "mankind finds two unknown elements messing up their plan." "Those two elements are luck and misfortune." "They aren't really unknown elements, but rather variables." "Why do these variables change?" "People always look for rules." "Some only play for money, but they're not real gamblers." "Real gamblers play only for the sake of the system." "Real gamblers are scientists exploring the fucking variables within the game." "There's nothing irrational about gambling." "By inventing the roulette, Pascal did one hell of a thing." "The sum of all the numbers of the roulette is 666, the number associated with the devil." "The cards are called devil's images." "That's why gambling is forbidden in all religions, from peaceful Buddhism to the more aggressive christianity and Islam." "By solving the riddle of the variables you'd solve all onthological questions." "And that would make you very fucking much like God." "If you ask me, God is nothing but a big gambler." "Hello?" "Who the fuck are you?" "What?" "Put her on the phone." "Put her on now!" "Doesn't want to talk to me?" "God damn it, put her on!" "Put her on, or I'll come and kick both your fucking asses!" "Shut up, you mother fucker!" "God damn it!" "Fuck!" "Hey, man, what do you think?" "You hear me, man?" "What do you think?" "Yeah, I saw that movie ,Breathless, but what's it got to do with gambling?" "Everything, damn it." "That's what I've been trying to explain." "Picture this." "Say that American chick is the queen of hearts and you have four cards on the table." "Ace, king, jack and ten of hearts." "The other guy has 3 aces and, say, the king of spades." "You're holding 2 more cards and so does the other guy." "But how the fuck do you know what he's got?" "All you know is he can't have four aces." "The others have folded." "He raises, buying another card." "He thinks you have a flush or a straight, and it's possible he has a full house or he's gonna get it now." "So what happens?" "You call." "Why?" "You've come too far to back out now." "You both get the last card." "You watch him closely." "His face is still, but he makes a little nervous gesture not as nervous as you think, but you know he can't have a full." "He's counting on that one card." "Do not look at your card!" "Look him straight in the eye." "That's the crucial moment." "Victory or defeat." "And what happens?" "He folds." "Why?" "He simply cannot believe that you're better than him." "No gambler can believe that, and so he folds." "Gamblers don't know how to lose." "They may look like they do but they don't." "If you did, there'd be no adrenaline to it." "And now, the two most important things." "You must not bluff." "You have to believe, with your whole being, that you're holding these cards." "You have to know that card is the queen of hearts." "That's what Belmondo does in the end." "He turns around and the fucking cops are sure he's holding a gun." "But he'd rather die, damn it, than be disappointed." "And you bet for the same reason." "And now the last major thing." "In no case, absolutely no fucking case can you look at your card after he folds." "If you do, everyone will know you were bluffing." "You'll lose faith in yourself." "To you, that card is as good as the queen of hearts, so there's no point." "Man, if you're capable of that, if you can do that, then you can do" "anything you want." "Anything." "Any time." "I just don't get you." "Don't you get every fucking thing you want?" "What else do you need?" "That's the thanks I get." "I even bought you that great big present for christmas." "Wasn't that from Santa?" "Santa?" "Yeah, right, there is no Santa." "Just your crappy father, buying you stuff once a year." "He thinks that's it." "But I wash your clothes, I wait on you and what do I get?" "He buys you a bike and you're fooled in a second." "You're like some little slut." "Daddy, daddy." "Well, fuck daddy." "Does he give any money for you?" "Did he call when you were sick?" "You make him feel like shit." "No wonder he has no authority." "Just throw it away for all I care." "You even talk like him, ha?" "Take it and get out of my sight." "Go see if he can find room for you and his Lolita sluts." "Take this bike and get out of my sight!" "Man, I'd die for a cup of coffee." "Stop if you see a coffee shop, I won't make it another six miles." "You don't have to." "There's a thermos in the back." "Yes." "I'll never forget this." "Shit!" "OK, cold, but why so bitter?" "You like it this way?" "only barbarians like their coffee sweet." "And you're so fucking civilized?" "l don't want to be a smart ass, but it's just a matter of taste." "Taste - as in one of the senses." "We sense things differently." "So coffee should be coffee, milk, milk and sugar, sugar." "No point in mixing them." "It would all taste like bad sugar." "or, by mixing them, you get a whole new flavor." "Which isn't coffee." "It is, it's sweet coffee." "You just said you needed coffee, but what you really needed was sugar." "No, I needed a cup of coffee, only sweet coffee." "It's as if a salad stops being a salad if you season it." "All I'm saying is that coffee's no longer coffee if you put sugar in it." "What are you, a fucking snob or something?" "Tea at five, sweet coffee for barbarians." "Just fuck off." "I'd like to know." "Are you a fucking snob or what?" "Maybe I am." "Yeah, a fucking snob." "I thought I was at a higher level, but that's really how snobs think." "coffee for me is a basic element of life and I want it to be pure." "The rest is a matter of personal perception." "coffee is just some green stuff that's picked, dried and ground and then you add sugar." "You call it sweet coffee, for me it's just coffee." "And so we come to white socks." "There's no rule that says you can't wear white socks on a dark suit. lf you do, then you're a redneck, right?" "Look at Michael Jackson." "He makes millions wearing white socks." "Michael Jackson makes millions selling Pepsi." "Damn it, man, if people thought he sucked, he couldn't sell Pepsi." "Go to the market and the salad guy is wearing white socks and a black suit." "That doesn't really matter." "There's no big money involved." "But go buy a Mercedes, you'll see that guy won't be wearing white socks." "You're saying I'm a redneck drinking sweet coffee, and so I'll never own a Mercedes." "You don't get it." "There's no real connection between coffee and socks." "I don't give a fuck if you get it or not." "For me that's a moral issue." "l'll try to understand." "But right now, what I'd give for a cup of sweet coffee with milk." "To hell with morals." "I knew something would go wrong." "Rabbits don't just jump under cars like that." "Fuck!" "That rabbit was a messenger telling me not to come." "These guys are crazy." "What?" "Did you need this?" "Did you?" "Should've stayed at my sister's with those wasted engineers." "oh, sis, why did I come here?" "There's always something." "Something's gonna happen." "I can feel it in my bones." "What is it?" "You want something?" "What?" "You want a rabbit's foot?" "A rabbit's foot?" "That's what you want." "Well, I don't have it." "You know what?" "come and get it, you mother fucker!" "What?" "You're scared, ha?" "That's different then." "I get it. lt's easy being a hot shot but then again this gun's making you nervous. ls it?" "It's cool, I'm cool." "Let's sit down and talk." "But don't try to fuck me ,cause your mama might like me." "What?" "Your mama?" "It hurts, doesn't it, asshole?" "Maybe it reminds you of how you fell out her fucking womb looking as pathetic as you do now." "or maybe it's just this gun?" "or that helpless feeling when they pulled you out and slapped your little ass, ha?" "is that it?" "Yeah, that's it." "Imagine how it's gonna feel when I put a bullet in your head." "What is it, Jackie boy?" "Jacko!" "You shit in your pants?" "Five more minutes." "Yeah, just a second." "What the fuck are we doing here?" "Well, I could take a piss." "Man, this nature's beautiful." "Just look at those hills." "Slovenia is really fucking beautiful." "Are you playing with me?" "What is it?" "Who sent you?" "Pick up the shovel and move it." "I'm not going anywhere till you tell me what's happening." "God damn you, you fuck!" "Mother fucker, you shot my ear!" "The next one's going to your head if you don't shut up." "Take the shovel. -lf you want money, just..." "Lets go." "No." "Kill me here if you want to. -l will, if you don't shut up." "l can't. I'm scared shitless." "can't I at least talk?" "OK, talk." "While you're walking." "Damn you..." "You're not the type to shoot me." "I have to get to that game." "But my car broke down, get it?" "That fucking car." "So I had to hitchhike." "You don't even know me." "I just don't get it." "You can go and leave me here." "You can take the car, OK?" "Take all my stuff, I don't care." "I'm going, I'm going." "OK, this is fine." "What's fine?" "Hey, what's fine?" "I want a hole here." "About three feet deep." "Start digging." "Yes, OK." "But how do you know it's my money?" "AB." "Do you know how many bills start with AB?" "Listen..." "Go take another bill and tell me the fucking number." "So what if he suspects!" "Just shoot the fucker!" "No, wait..." "Wait till I get there." "We can still shoot him later." "Fuck, what do you mean, when am I coming?" "I'm not dressed and I'm watching a movie." "It's a classic and I want to see the end." "I don't give a fuck about you two!" "Just wait for me there." "Hey, you." "What?" "Are you married?" "l used to be." "You?" "No. I lived with someone for about six years." "Me too, for a year and a half." "It didn't work out. lt never does." "What do you mean?" "I know people who've been together for ages." "Like my folks." "They're still together after 40 years." "Economy." "What do you mean?" "People stay together because of economy." "couples accumulate loads of stuff." "A house, a TV set, a car." "Do they cut them in half?" "of course not." "They say it's for the sake of the kids. I call it economy." "What about love, respect?" "God, man, where do you live?" "It's a natural process, right?" "People break up." "one gets tired of the other." "The first one to do it is usually to blame." "once the sex is gone, there's no more love either." "The other one wonders what's wrong. ls he too old, does he have a bad breath?" "The more he tries, the more the other one can't stand him." "He loses his self-confidence, and starts feeling sorry for himself." "The other one doesn't respect him any more." "And without respect everything else gets fucked up." "If they're responsible enough, the economy will win, if not, there's nothing else to do but break up." "That's it." "So, your relationship's over, or what?" "Yeah." "That sucks, I know." "She got tired of you?" "Yeah, she threw me out." "Yeah, that happened to me, too." "I just don't get these women." "The one that threw me out, I met her at a poker game." "She was a professional card dealer." "It was love at first sight." "I almost lost once ,cause of her." "Then, after a year or so, she starts bitching about poker." "That's how they are." "They always want you to change, but you can't be what they want you to be, so it gets worse." "Then they want things the way they were, but that's impossible." "So everything gets fucked and we're back to that same old story." "You're right." "They're all cunts." "Now keep digging or you'll ruin my day." "can't we make some sort of deal, man?" "That's what I get talking to a psycho like you." "No wonder she threw you out!" "Tell me about the game." "What does it all look like?" "Fuck you." "What's with you?" "I just asked a simple question." "You wanna do some digging?" "Are you nuts?" "What, it was just a simple question." "What does the game look like?" "Normally I couldn't wait to talk about it." "I'd look into the distance with a certain light in my eye." "I'd be so moved to talk about this ritual of manhood." "How real pros wear tuxedos and use made up names, how the whole thing is like a religious experience, and how every player proves his identity with his end of a torn up card, usually an ace." "And how there's always a lady present making sure you never run out of coffee, sweet coffee with milk." "I'd tell you all that and more." "But since you're being such a prick I'll just tell you to fuck yourself." "What do those cunts look like?" "They're not cunts." "Fuck!" "What?" "There's a fucking skull in here!" "Give it to me." "Are you nuts?" "It's disgusting!" "You'd better shoot me." "Fine by me." "OK, damn it." "I was just kidding?" "Here." "This one's sure been here a while." "I don't want to patronize you, but you better stop being a pain." "I can tell you what I'll do to you, if you're interested." "You're a psycho, damn it!" "l'll tell you anyway unless you stop bugging me." "I'll wrap a wire round your dick until it's quite numb and you don't feel a thing, then I'll take a knife and cut it all off." "or just give me a blow job, unless you're afraid I'd piss in your mouth!" "You're not cooperating." "Maybe you'd rather I pulled it off right now." "Do it, for all I care." "You know what your problem is?" "communication." "You're yapping and yapping, and you don't even know when to stop and breathe." "Fuck, you should talk!" "And you don't listen to anyone but yourself." "But I still don't deserve this." "Think of it as a mercy killing." "Listen, man." "come on, God damn it!" "If you want money, just say so." "You want money, man?" "Who the fuck are you?" "Who's not dead?" "What kid?" "What?" "I've had enough of you!" "GENTLEMEN You think this is funny?" "I usually get five grand for a fuck." "Five grand?" "Five grand for a fuck?" "You get five grand?" "Just look at my clothes!" "I have a date tonight and look at me!" "I can't go out like this!" "cut it out and get in the car." "There should be a bonus for jobs like this." "I'll pay for the cleaners." "No, butt out. i want... I told you, never in the head." "It explodes like a melon and now look at you." "Let's go." "What would you do?" "We've been looking for him for a month and there he was with a gun in his hands." "of course I aimed for the head." "And if he'd shot us, then what?" "He'd fill us up with lead." "Would that be better?" "Aren't you listening?" "Get in the car." "Your head's already full of lead." "Get in the car. come on." "I want to settle this." "Whose head is full of lead?" "I want the money for a new suit now!" "I'd better give you the money." "How much can it be?" "You know, it's not cheap." "There's your suit now." "Man, am I glad to see you." "My damn car broke down." "I've been waiting here an hour." "What's wrong with it?" "Ran out of oil. I thought I'd make it to a gas station, but... -can't help you there." "Give me a lift to town." "I'll rent a car there. I need to get somewhere." "OK, get in." "Bravo!" "Bravissimo!" "Fantastic!" "Good evening, honey." "I hope the drinks are as good as the hostess." "can I see your cards?" "For you, my blondie." "Here." "Would you like a drink?" "Jack on the rocks." "But really, lots of ice." "And you, sir?" "Scotch soda, no ice." "How was the trip?" "Fine, not counting the snow." "I can lead you to your rooms." "No, just take the bags." "OK, so we have a deal, right?" "change signals all the time." "The guys taping the game will definitely keep an eye on the winners." "I don't like this." "There's no beauty to the game when it's fixed." "There's no beauty to the game." "But there's more money then." "Are you a pro or not?" "Beauty's for amateurs." "All I want to do is win." "That's all I care about." "That pussy over there will take care of beauty." "She's not that bad. cheers." "formal attire" "What's the occasion?" "What occasion?" "Forgive me, but people don't just come here to look around." "Unless, of course, you're a teenage girl." "They come to try on wedding gowns and fantasize about their wedding." "Jesus, the coffee!" "Every day they come imagining their mister right." "I notice them, ,cause I have a daughter their age." "But men, they come for a reason." "Smoke?" "That's why I asked about the occasion." "Hope you don't mind." "So, what is it?" "No, let me guess." "Gambling, is it?" "High stakes?" "I think I've got just the thing for you." "Your size 52?" "Yes." "Look at this." "Like it's been waiting for you." "Feel it." "Quality stuff." "Want to try it on?" "Let's see if it suits you." "Turn around." "Step over here." "How does it feel?" "Good?" "You look great." "Guess who I made it for." "The mayor." "When I was still a tailor I made suits for the big shots." "He was to come and try it, but when he arrived, bang, bang, bang." "They shot him and his two bodyguards." "The Mafia, you know." "They did it." "only the driver made it." "Now take a look at this." "Feel this." "The tux wasn't finished yet, but I knew someone would use it someday." "Just feel the material." "Hand-made." "Try the pants on." "Everything is just fine, perfect." "The pants look great." "They wanted to bury him in this." "But I wouldn't let it." "Hell no, business or no business." "I knew it would come in handy." "Put your hands down." "Let's see." "You look great, great." "Just let me iron them a bit." "I need it now." "Sure, sure, it'll only take a few minutes." "Would you like some coffee?" "Black, no sugar." "That's the only kind you'll get." "Here you go." "They just don't feel like coming all the way down here, so they use these cameras." "Why not?" "They're paying for it." "Then some guy edits everything, so they only see the good games." "That's ten games, tops." "The guy makes it so they can see everybody's cards." "That's what gets to them most." "For them it's better than actually playing." "A little sick, but fine by me." "There's always something." "Why?" "Something has to spoil the evening." "Every time!" "Hi, guys." "Hello." "What a fuck up!" "I was driving like I always do, yes, I did visit my sister." "It's her birthday, so I had to..." "Would you like a drink?" "Whisky soda." "Her husband's a jerk so I don't go there much, but it's her birthday, so..." "The party totally sucked." "Her friends are all fat bitches with kids that climb over you." "I can't stand them eating cake with their little hands, burping and farting from all the food and sodas they had." "Thank you." "So, her friends and her husband's co-workers, all these engineers." "You can't talk to them ,cause they bore you to death." "Her house is out of town, So I'm driving along... I had some wine and a joint, but I wasn't drunk or stoned, when suddenly from out of nowhere the biggest, fattest fucking rabbit you ever saw" "jumps in front of the car." "No, kidding, I swear, it must've had 40 pounds." "I didn't even hit the breaks." "It ruined the bumper." "I pulled over to cool off." "All I could do was breathe." "I checked on the rabbit, and then I remembered." "A rabbit's foot brings luck!" "I didn't have a knife, so I used a sharp rock." "I cut it off." "Here, I got it!" "You're crazy. -l just hope this hairy thing brings me luck." "otherwise, everything can go to hell." "It has to be perfect or I can't let you have it." "How come you're giving this tux to me, man?" "I don't know why." "Intuition, I guess." "I had a feeling about you." "And ,cause of gambling." "I've been there myself." "See this dump?" "That's what it looks like when lady luck turns her back on you." "I used to have a real shop, a house, a family, lots of money." "And then it all started." "out of boredom or something." "First slots, some black jack..." "Win some, lose some, basically just breaking even." "There's no better feeling than finally breaking even." "But once things got out of hand." "Poker." "Seven card stud." "I was in over my head by then." "I just couldn't live without it." "We started off easy, small money, almost boring." "Then it seemed we all had a good hand." "We all thought so." "There was more and more money." "It got up to three million." "You're too young to remember." "That was a lot of money back then." "Half a house, more!" "More than half, my friend." "There was just me and this other guy left." "I'm holding four of a kind, four sevens!" "I check the table, there're kings, queens, jacks, ten, nine, eight and aces." "He can't have a higher poker, but he could have a royal flush and beat me." "Now look." "He bets six mill, six!" "I look at him. I'm careful, but I know this guy, I was sure he was bluffing." "I watch him and he's smiling." "I think, yeah, you're tough, but you're faking it." "He can't fool me." "But the more I watch him, the cooler he gets." "can you picture it?" "You watch, waiting for him to make some mistake." "He's just smiling." "Here goes nothing, I say." "I couldn't fold, damn it, not with four sevens in my hand." "OK, I called." "I didn't have the money, so it took about an hour to get the papers for the house and the shop." "It was worth more than that, but, of course, I didn't care about that." "So, I signed the papers and realized that same second that I'd fucked up." "I just knew it." "The guy opens his royal flush." "of course, God damn it!" "I got up." "Said, thanks for the game." "I never opened my cards, of course, and I left." "I didn't dare go home." "They came the next day, showed the papers to my wife." "Everything was in my name." "There was nothing she could do." "She moved to her mother's, and took my daughter with her." "A few days later she filed for divorce." "I lost all my clients, the workers went away and I was left with nothing." "All I have is this dump." "That's life." "Did I bring you down?" "Man, you know this address?" "I never heard about that rabbit's foot stuff." "So what if you have it, I mean." "No one really likes you, right?" "It's not a bad one, though." "A bit sick, but OK." "Evening, sir." "We've been expecting you." "Hello." "Hi." "I was just telling them how I killed a rabbit. I got its foot." "I'm not superstitious." "Good for you. -l know." "can I get you anything?" "coffee." "Black, no sugar." "Where're you from, pal?" "All over the place." "Really?" "How come I never saw you?" "I'm from there too." "Maybe you're too busy being self- absorbed to notice anyone else." "Nice tux, ha?" "Paid a lot for it?" "Not really." "I saw a tux like this once, a great tux." "We all look like waiters in them, but anyway, that one was something special." "Yours is just like it." "I get it, you get it, even the jerk in white socks gets it that we don't like each other." "Excuse me... -can I finish?" "Even this jerk can see we don't like each other." "I don't know you, but..." "Wait a minute, hold it." "Let's get one thing straight." "We're stuck here together whether we like it or not." "We are paid to come here and act like gentlemen." "The only reason we're here is for the fucking money." "of course I get it." "We can't stand each other." "I'm not an idiot." "But what you, shithead, didn't get, is that I was just trying to be nice." "I tried very fucking hard to find one nice thing about you, and you know what?" "I couldn't find a single one." "The only thing I like about you is your tux." "A piece of cloth that's supposed to make you a gentlemen. -lt's not working." "Maybe you can jerk this little bozo around but you can't fuck with me!" "You're right. I'm sorry." "Spending 24 hours with you in this shit-hole is gonna be tough." "Now, if you don't mind, I'd like to have my coffee. ln peace." "Great coffee." "Gentlemen, it's show time." "You know the rules." "It's no limit seven card stud poker." "The dealer changes every game." "You play for cash and chips." "The opening bet is 100, paid by the low card." "lou's can be called in on the phones in your rooms." "The phone booth is for emergencies, smokes are by the coffee machine." "I'm here to serve drinks and entertain you." "I also take requests for music pieces." "but you all have to agree on them." "Any questions?" "Yes." "So does that mean you'll show us your tits if we all say so?" "What can I get you to drink?" "Jack on the rocks." "Whiskey soda." "Same as before." "Scotch, straight." "I hope this keeps up!" "You know I'm shuffling?" "How do you know?" "How do I know you know?" "Loser's written over your face." "You're definitely the worst bunch of... -come on, deal!" "So we can't stand each other, so what." "No big deal." "It's definitely foretelling." "This tension's no good. I know." "And my rabbit's foot..." "Rabbit's foot, sure." "could you shut up about it?" "Am I bugging you?" "Damn, we're back to superstition." "I've had enough." "You got me all wrong. I was talking about a phenomenon, not superstition." "So, the low card, bet, please." "I open at 100. I think you're the one that caused this tension." "The low card opened..." "Are they taping the sound too?" "Yes." "Four cards on the table." "A pair of kings." "Your bet, please." "A pair of kings." "Do you mind?" "Yeah. I thought we were gonna have some fun, but all you care about is money." "And you, shut up about that rabbit already." "Follow the game." "I'm the dealer, so it's my game." "If you have any complaints, come during office hours." "Now, let's play." "I bet one thousand." "l fold." "You can't, it's not your turn." "He bets a grand on two aces, there's nothing here for me!" "l must annul this game." "We can't play like this." "Do you want to go on?" "Sure, as far as I'm concerned" "Fine by me. -ok, for now." "I see you and raise you!" "l fold. -call." "Thank you, no more bets." "Two pairs here, aces and deuces, just a pair of kings here." "Here we go!" "Bets, please." "Three grand." "oh, very well." "Playing like a man." "Gimme a queenie." "Bets. -call." "Last card, gentlemen." "Gimme a nice hand." "Give it to me." "This is it." "This one will kill you." "Pissing in your pants, ha?" "A possible full house, and a pair of kings." "Bets." "Man, you're really a pain in the ass." "Ten grand." "What a game." "Here, let me see that full house of yours." "Wow, three kings!" "Maybe a full house..." "That's it." "Yes!" "I told you you can't fuck with me!" "That's the way it goes, guys." "Win some, lose some." "I was sure you had a full house!" "l just love this money, guys!" "I wouldn't go that high, but still, what a game!" "Loved it!" "Gentlemen, you have a half-hour break now." "You can go to your rooms." "I'll get you your drinks after I change the tapes." "How about those tits then?" "Your wish is my command." "Now you're talking, baby." "What's wrong?" "Hey, boss, it's me." "There's a guy here playing with your money." "All the fucking notes start with AB." "They're yours." "I don't want him to get suspicious." "OK." "When are you coming?" "And what are we supposed to do here?" "Fucking asshole." "Who does he think he is?" "Give me a light." "Here's your coffee." "Black, no sugar." "Looks like you need it." "I haven't slept for two days." "Did Pavle send you?" "Yes." "He said he didn't know anybody here." "Have you ever cleaned before?" "No, that's my first time." "Have you ever killed anyone?" "Yes." "Are you carrying?" "Yes." "can I see it?" "Death turns me on." "Being close to it." "I was twelve when my father died." "I loved him very much." "He was the best dad in the world." "We kept him in the house for a while." "People came to pay their respects. I was standing there looking at him, and I started getting this strange feeling in my guts." "It was good, fucking good." "I squeezed my legs, but I couldn't take it." "I threw up all over the place." "The funeral was two days later." "A hot day, lots of people, all walking slowly." "Mum and I were in the front." "Half way there I had that same feeling, only so much more intense than before." "It was so good it drove me crazy!" "I could feel my thighs rubbing against each other." "I was getting so hot." "I didn't want it to ever stop." "We came to the grave and I started shaking like a dog." "Then all of a sudden mum held me in her arms." "She held me so tightly." "So tightly..." "The best fucking orgasm ever." "Fuck me." "Now." "The game goes on in five minutes." "Had a good rest?" "Just great." "Thanks for asking." "Guys, stop messing around." "Sit down!" "Good boy." "So where's the rest of it?" "You talking to me?" "No, your mama." "I don't know what you're talking about." "Baby, what're you doing?" "Stop pissing me off!" "come on, sit down." "Don't play smart with me." "I'll take this." "We were doing great, guys, and now this. lt's all money." "Take my cash as well." "The cameras are taping everything." "You're right, I almost forgot about that." "It's been a while now." "Left, right, left..." "Right!" "Pussy, pussy!" "Not bad, ha?" "Where were we?" "Right, so where's the rest?" "I have no idea what you're talking about." "Right, I forgot." "Sorry, sorry." "cut it out!" "I'll ask you one more time:" "where is the rest of the money?" "I told you. I don't know." "You really are a pain in the ass." "What is it, blondie?" "It hurts, ha?" "It hurts, ha?" "It hurts?" "Show some spirit, man!" "He fell down, stop it." "Why?" "Why?" ",cause of your big mouth," ",cause of your fucking rabbit and those fucking white socks." "Wanna go pee maybe?" "This is good stuff." "How about a dance, young lady?" "What's up, blondie?" "You awake?" "Are you OK?" "Remember what we talked about?" "l said I don't know." "Just stop bugging me already." "Jack, lots of ice." "I gotta talk to this guy." "My dear blondie." "What am I gonna do with you?" "We'll take things slow, OK?" "We'll play a little game." "Look." "This here is some bank." "We paid them a little visit, and pulled a little stick-up." "We got away with seven million cash!" "Seven!" "But those were marked new bills, see?" "AB, AB..." "You can't spend it." "So in that case, we decide to sell our dirty money for some clean money." "A guy offered us a mill and a half of clean money for our dirty seven mill." "Yeah, hello, thank you, hello, thanks a bunch." "clean money, a mill and a half." "It was a little strange ,cause he offered so much more than the other guys, but what the hell." "So far so good." "Now comes the stupid part." "We found out that somebody'd robbed a post office about a month ago." "They took, what do you know, exactly a million and a half." "So what this guy basically did was sell us his dirty money, for more dirty money." "A lot more." "Get it?" "But OK." "Maybe you didn't have anything to do with that, maybe you don't even know that guy." "Maybe you don't have a clue." "But god damn it, blondie, you must know something." "You must know where this money came from." "There must be more where this came from." "And if I find it, I'll be the happiest man alive." "You got it?" "Anybody up there?" "Fuck you." "Just kill me now or leave me alone." "I don't like the way you treat other people." "He doesn't like this conversation." "He's just not having any fun." "What's with the music?" "coffee anyone?" "No, he's not interested." "This was just the beginning." "Nothing compared to what's gonna happen next." "See, I'll take this sharp little knife and play doctor for a while." "Surgeons call it defloration, or something." "There's no anesthesia, so this might hurt." "No, you won't do it!" "Right." "Stop!" "I'll talk, I'll talk!" "Well, too late now." "It was this guy..." "A guy?" "Go on." "He was hitching a ride." "And?" "He kept yapping all the time." "He told me about the game, but not a word about the money." "So you're saying he just gave you the money to blow it away?" "No, no. -of course not." "Where is that guy now?" "He's dead." "Yeah, right." "Say goodbye to your balls." "lt's the truth!" "I shot him!" "Wait." "What're you doing, honey?" "You're not cut out for this." "But I am." "Put your hands where l can see them." "Stop fucking around. -l'm not." "You want me to untie him?" "No." "I have to settle something with him first." "What did you do with him?" "l shot and buried him." "Where?" "l don't know." "Somewhere by the road." "Shut up!" "l just remembered something." "That gun is empty." "Waste her now, she's starting to bug me. I gotta talk to this guy." "God damn it!" "Fuck!" "Fuck!" "You fucking bitch!" "Man, I'm sorry!" "I didn't think she'd do it." "lt's OK." "Shit!" "l can tell you now." "What?" "l love you." "What's with you?" "Ever since I saw you... -cut it out." "When you came to the office..." "Stop it." "Stop now." "You were wearing those jeans..." "I thought I was gonna keel over." "What're you laughing about?" "Remember... -cut it out." "You think I'm a faggot?" "A fag?" "That big bed... cut this shit out!" "We were alone..." "Me a fag?" "Stop this." "l was so happy..." "You think I'm queer?" "Do you?" "What?" "Stop it!" "Think I'm a fag, ha?" "A faggot?" "A fag, ha?" "Me queer?" "Me?" "I'll show you a faggot!" "Hey, pussy, wake up." "You know what he said?" "He said I'm a fag!" "Me!" "We'll show him who's the fag." "We'll see who the fag is!" "Ha, blondie?" "Who's the fag now?" "check this out!" "You just watch." "That's nice, ha, pussy!" "Look what the fag's gonna do to you now!" "Fuck you!" "check out the fag now!" "How's that!" "Ha?" "How about that, pussy?" "Am I a fag?" "God damn!" "What?" "can't get it up?" "We'll do it the other way." "Who's the fag?" "Who?" "How about this, pussy?" "How about it, ha?" "How about it, blondie?" "Another blondie, ha?" "Another blondie?" "come on, blondie!" "How does it feel, sitting here, not knowing what's gonna happen to you." "Feeling like a slave, maybe?" "What're you gonna do to me?" "You wanted to gamble, so now you have it." "You don't look very happy." "What you said about luck before..." "Right." "It went right by me today." "They say it's better to be born with no dick than no luck." ",cause with some luck you might still grow one." "I've had enough of your fucking stories." "What do you want with me?" "Here's what I want." "For now." "You wanted to play poker, so we'll play some poker." "But not for money." "We'll play for your life." "I don't get it." "Why not just kill me and get it over with?" "That's the whole point." "If I'm holding a single coin and I see a slot machine I feel like it's daring me." "It's the same right now." "All the players are out." "You're all alone and there's only one game left to play." "one to win your life back." "And I've got the mortgage on it." "But the game's not important." "It's your attitude that counts." "If you don't take chances, you'll never win the pot." "And the stakes are pretty high, don't you think?" "Yeah, I'm playing for my life!" "What do you get?" "Satisfaction." "Victory." "Self-confidence." "That's not too bad either, right?" "You're right." "I could use some of that myself." "So that's it." "I might even grow a dick now." "This means I can go?" "There's something you should know about me. I lie." "What can I do, I'm a gambler." "I should learn how to lose." "It just really pisses me off!" "Hey, get this nail out!" "You can't leave me like this!" "Fuck, look at this place!" "It's a slaughterhouse!" "See that nobody else shows up!" "Shit, look at me." "I got blood all over me!" "No bank can launder this money." "What about our guys?"
