:25:01
I do some consulting over there.
Security on busy nights.

:25:06
Parking lot?
:25:08
No, I work inside the casino.
:25:11
He saw you play in Vegas
a few years back. Tell him.

:25:15
Yeah, yeah.
See, I used to live there.

:25:18
I saw you playing craps
over at the original Dunes.

:25:21
You bet the hard eight for a thousand
and pressed it for two.

:25:25
- Did I hit it?
- No, you didn't.

:25:27
But it was a big balls bet,
and I remembered your face.

:25:30
Stupid bet.
:25:32
You were with that old dude
with the voice thing.

:25:35
He talked like that.
What's his name?

:25:37
Excuse me.
:25:41
Say, partner, let me get
one of them cigarettes.

:25:45
Damn.
You ain't got no menthol?

:25:47
No, man, I don't do menthol.
:25:49
Shit.
:25:51
Let me get a light too.
:26:02
So you gave up big balls bets
on the hard way...

:26:05
to play keno, huh?
:26:08
What's that,
a sign of aging?

:26:12
It passes the time.
:26:14
Syd and I saw a guy win 38 grand
playing keno once.

:26:17
Played all day, sat in the same spot
something like 12 hours.

:26:21
Must've cost him four grand
to win the 38. Jesus.

:26:24
The other night
over at the El Dorado...

:26:27
I saw a cat have a heart attack
right at the craps table.

:26:30
He's in the middle of a hot shoot
and starts getting all sweaty and shit.

:26:35
Next thing you know, bam!
Old motherfucker just keels over.

:26:39
The joke of it is,
the game just keeps going on.

:26:42
People are yelling, "Place the eight!
Somebody call an ambulance!

:26:45
Place the nine! Place the six!
Somebody dial 9-1-1!"

:26:48
Meanwhile this old bastard's laying on
the floor, tongue out, turning purple.

:26:54
And the people are still playing.
:26:57
Keno.
:26:59
Keno.
Any winners?
