Where's Bernie? They're killing us.
We need him here right away.
Yeah!
Come on, baby. Come on, come on!
Come on!
Seven out.
Oh, man!
Come to Papa-- Hey, what the hell? !
God damn it, that's supposed to be an $800 jackpot.
Afternoon, Doris. - Hey.
Got any cream? - Sure.
Oh, shit. - Oh, it doesn't matter.
Dewar's and--
Fuck! Dewar's and water, please.
Hi, Natalie.
Hey... - Bernie.
Shit, motherfucker! Yeah, Bernie.
Yo, Doris, have you seen Shelly around?
He promised to position me at the tables tonight.
I've been on skid row all week.
You didn't settle up with me last night.
No? You sure? Fuck, I was way under.
It's been like an AA convention around here.
I'll make it up to you tonight, I promise.
Where have I heard that before?
If I see Shelly, I'll tell him... - Thanks.
...that you're looking for him.
Conway, party of 11.
Please check your reservation in the Paradise Lounge.
Hey, Bernie, Shelly needs you on 11.
All right. Let's do the Chivas Regal.
And have that-- have Natalie bring it over,
the one working the nickel slots...
by the Paradise.
I spoke to Shelly earlier. He wants her out on the tables.
All right. I'll take care of it.
Great shot. How about that?
Hi. It's you, right?
Yeah, over here.
Joe said I should stick around.
You say something to Shelly?
Um-hmm.
Wow, that was fast. Thanks.
Don't mention it. It's over here.
I'll win you a fortune on five and nine.
Did you order the Chivas Regal?
Hey, back off, will you, pal? Can't you see I got a roll here?
54, 54.
Seven out, line away. - That motherfucker.
Thanks for the bet, folks. - Yeah, yeah, I'm coming.
Oh! Shoot!
Better luck next time.
Ah-hh.
Shelly, they're here. - Relax, Shorty.
Hey. Nicky, you didn't tell me you were coming.
I'm having a manicure here.
You think I don't wash up after going to the john, huh?
Forget about it. You look like a million bucks. How are you?
You should have called ahead. I would have sent the car.
No, we figured we'd surprise you.
Anytime, Nicky, anytime.
I know that, partner.
Shelly, let me introduce you to our...
brightest VP here.
This is Larry Sokolov.
His numbers guy, Marty Goldfarb.
How do you do, Shelly?
Can I get you something to drink?
I'd love a vodka tonic, thanks.
...comes out of the confessional and she...
says, 'Move over, I have to gargle.'
So Nicky, what brings you to town?
Shelly, I've got a smart kid here.
He's got some good ideas...
about how to revitalize the Shangri-La.
Revitalize? What are you talking about?
We did $35 million last year.
Nicky: Why don't you just hear the kid out, huh?
Shelly, I want you to know that I have...
nothing but the utmost respect for you.
You've done a tremendous job with...
the Shangri-La over the last 16 years.
I don't think anybody can dispute that.
Nicky:
Yeah, nobody doubts that, Shell.
But the business has changed.
Just take a look at the Strip,
you'll see what I'm talking about.
What?
You mean that Disneyland mookfest out there? Huh?
Come on, you know what that is?
Huh? That's a fucking violation is what that is.
It's something that used to be beautiful.
It used to have class,
like a gorgeous high-priced hooker...
with an exclusive clientele.
Then along comes that Steve Wynn cocksucker...
and knocks her up and puts her...
in a fucking family way.
Now, she's nothing but a cheap fat whore...
hiding behind too much make-up.
I look at her and see her stretch marks.
It makes me want to cry, because
I remember the way she used to be.
Am I right?
There's no arguing the bottom line.
Those places are raking it in...
and the Shangri-La as she is now...
can't compete with that.
You think I'm trying to compete with that?
You think that's what we're about,
trying to bring in the stroller crowd,
fresh off some 'E-ticket' ride, trying...
to break the house on red and black?
Fremont has never been about that bullshit.
This is where old time and real money come to play.
The numbers don't back you up...
on that, Shelly. Don't get me wrong.
Nostalgia is great and we love nostalgia...
...but nostalgia belongs in a museum.
I think it comes a time to decide...
whether you're running a museum...
or you're running a casino.
Bernie.
'Mr. Cool.' You got a minute?
I was just heading over to 14. - It can wait.
How's the knee?
I met this orthopedic surgeon...
at Vegas Memorial. He tells me...
they can rebuild a man's entire kneecap out of titanium.
Oh, of course it costs a shitload of money,
but seeing as this gentleman is into us...
for 500 large, I thought maybe--
I told you, I'm not gonna be here...
after Sunday.
Where are you gonna go, Bernie?
Where the fuck are you gonna go...
that's better than here?
I've got you covered in this town.
People know you work for me.
That's currency in your pocket.
That's fucking respect, when you walk the floor.
Where are you gonna get that, anyplace else?
Seven days, Shelly... I'm out from under.
Excuse me, sweetheart.
What's your name, darling? Never mind.
This is who I am.
Yeah, that's right. I like to know who's...
shopping it around in my neighborhood,
so what you do is be in my office...
first thing tomorrow morning,
if you want to continue...
to work here at the Shangri-La...
and you and I will go over the rules together.
I also want you to bring me a clean...
bill of health. All right, my dear?
Okay. - All right, thank you.
How'd you like to 'birdie' that hole, huh?
Say the word and she's yours anytime.
I'll keep a running tab for you.
Nah.
What? What? She's not your type?
Are you kidding me?
I've got to go.
Things are heating up on 14.
Let's do it in the room.
Kim, I think we got our laundry...
mixed up. I-- I'll talk to you later.
Come on, let's go back to the room.
$50 bucks only gets you 20 minutes, man.
You're wasting your time.
Your soul is crippled. I'm gonna change that.
Pray with me now. Out, demon!
Let the crutches go!
Let the spirit into you!
Run with me!
Fuck me harder! Harder! Oh!
Oh, yeah, baby. I like that. Come on.
Come on, come on.
You're so big!
You do? Hallelujah!
The Lord has shown his face once again.
You gonna come all over me? Oh, yeah, come all over me.
Let's do this, man.
Eight, the hard way.
$900 for Mr. Pinkerton. - Seven and Seven.
Thanks, doll face. - Jesus Christ!
Shit, I'm sorry. - Don't worry about it.
I'm so sorry. I'm such a fucking klutz.
No, this stuff happens. - Oh, my God.
I'm sorry. This guy-- fucking hands all over my ass.
You might want to stick around.
I came to play.
Come again, sister, in the name of Pinkie.
Take this. Hard eight, huh?
How you like that? Suck on that.
That's right. Give me them dice.
Damn right.
One dollar, hard eight.
All right, everybody, get in. Here we go.
We'll bet $10.
Out! Seven out. - Shit! God!
What the fuck are you smiling at, bitch?
Whoa, whoa... easy. Fellas?
You think it's fucking funny? - Take it easy, man.
Think it's funny this place is stealing...
my-- fucking numb-nuts, let go of me.
I'll have you fired, you piece-of-shit...
bitch! Piece of fucking garbage!
# But now I couldn't do without my supply #...
# I need you for my own #...
# Oh, I can't break away I must have you every day #...
# As regularly as coffee or tea #...
# You got me in your clutches and I can't break free #...
# You're getting to be a habit with me... #
Oh, Shelly. I love you, Shelly.
He's the man, he's the best man. Salut.
No, no, no.
He hates that shit. He really does.
# I used to think your love... #...
# Was something that I... #...
# Could take... #...
# Or leave alone #...
# But now I couldn't do without my supply... #...
There he is. - Hey.
Shelly, I was a fucking embarrassment...
out there, do you understand that?
You should never have...
talked me into going out there, Shelly.
I should have never let you.
Frank is rolling over in his grave.
I've got strep, man.
You understand that? I've got strep.
Listen to me, Pops, you were...
pure velvet out there. It was just silk.
And also, looky-looky what was hanging...
on the doorknob. Huh?
Forget about your tonsils.
When the muff confetti stops coming,
that's when you know you got trouble.
Did you get a receipt?
Excuse me? - They're on sale in the lobby.
Charlayne's. This is 'Victoria's Secret
Valentine Collection.'
What about that broad you got coming here later?
How much did she set you back? Nothing...
but the best for old Buddy, right?
Are you fucking kidding me? Gimme, you don't deserve this.
You got all those ladies going home...
with a nice breeze between their legs,
'cause you do it the way they like it...
and you're saying I'm some
Buddy Stafford ego pimp, huh?
Hey, fuck you and-- fuck you.
Come on, give it to me.
Give it to me, man. Come on, come on!
Come on, don't be a prick. Come on, man.
Come on, give it to me! Come on, man.
Oh, fuck! Fuck!
Do you ever watch any of those nature shows?
What?
You know, those nature shows.
You watch them?
Yeah, I've seen a few nature shows.
Yeah? Well, this one I've seen about a dozen times.
It's about... lions. It's about...
the cycle of life of the lions... and the leader of the pack.
'Pride'. With lions it's a pride. - Yeah.
This old king lion, right? He's getting on in years...
and then sooner or later...
some young male comes along.
He challenges him... and he beats...
the fuck out of this old lion, right?
He just kicks the shit out of him.
And then... then they push him out of the pride...
and he has to go in the jungle...
and scavenge and he dies alone.
The nature's got some sense of humor, huh?
No shit.
See, but Shelly, it's tragic because...
he's past it, this old fucked lion...
and he doesn't know it...
and it would be so much easier for him,
if he could just... walk away.
And... he could avoid all the pain...
and the humiliation.
Hey...
that would be like accepting...
that you were dead already, right?
I think I like it better nature's way, don't you?
Yeah, maybe you're right.
Yeah, that's it.
Buy you a drink?
Yeah.
Shelly, you got a minute?
Shelly, this is Johnny Cappella.
How you doing, Shelly?
I know you from some place, right?
Johnny's been opening for Danny Ganz at the Mirage.
Now Sony is talking about signing him...
to a three-album deal.
They're going to position him as the new Harry Connick.
And I should be interested in this... why?
Johnny's looking to headline.
I thought we might be interested.
We? - Did I come at a bad time?
Even if I was interested,
I got fresh ink with Buddy for the next five years.
I just renegotiated his contract.
Listen, you two need to be on the same page.
Larry, listen, if I don't hear from you by Thursday,
I'm taking the Stardust. All right? I'm going there.
I understand. - Johnny Cappella, gone.
We'll definitely be in touch, Johnny.
Assholes.
Your progressed Venus is in Gemini...
12.5 degrees...
and it's in direct motion, which means...
...you're a slow starter when it comes to romance.
Sorry. You know what?
This is real unprofessional of me.
I shouldn't discuss your chart with you until I'm all done.
I can tell by the look on your face...
you think this is all a lot of B.S.
No, I just... I know what the outcome's gonna be.
There's not like one particular outcome.
A lot of things come into the picture, like...
the planets, the moon phases--
The outcome won't change with me.
It'll be all bad. - Oh, my God.
I have never met anyone...
who was so down on themselves.
Do you know what I do at the Shangri-La?
I asked around. You're a cooler.
You turn winners into losers. - Do you know how I do that?
Listen, I know there's a lot of stuff...
that happens in casinos all the time.
I do it by being myself.
People get next to me, their luck turns.
It's always been that way.
Well, that sounds...
like a self-fulfilling prophecy to me.
There's a whole chapter of that in my book...
I only got six more days.
Well... really almost five.
I'm leaving town.
Only five more days?
Then we shouldn't waste any more time.
You want to go back to your place?
If this is--
I'm not sure...
I'm not sure I can afford...
I can't afford to-- - Christ.
Oh, God. I'm sorry. Wait, I didn't mean it.
See, this is what I'm talking about.
I've gone and cooled the damn table.
Shut up, Bernie, shut up.
You haven't gone and cooled anything.
Not by a long shot.
Oh, God.
You know...
once they're dead, they don't really grow back...
in case that's what you were waiting for.
Oh, my God, you got a cat?
So... you got any music?
Hey...
come here.
Sit.
Relax, Bernie, relax.
I assure you...
at least one of us has done this before.
This is not the first time I've ever--
Surprise me.
I like this.
# Luck, be a lady tonight #...
# Luck, if you've ever been a lady...
to begin with #...
# Luck, be a lady tonight #...
# Luck, let a gentleman see #...
# How nice a girl you can be #...
# I know the way you've treated...
other guys you've been with... #...
They're snaps. - I think I can get it.
Ow! Wait. Pull down some.
Okay. - Ouch!
I'm sorry. - It's okay. It's okay.
# It isn't fair...#
Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, shit.
# A lady doesn't wander all over the room #...
# And blow on some other guy's dice #...
# So let's keep this party polite #...
# Never get out of my sight #...
# Stick with me, baby,
I'm the fella you came in with #...
# Luck, be a lady tonight... #
Sorry.
# Luck, let a gentleman see... #
It's okay, Bernie.
I've had worse.
Oh, shit. Oh, God.
I know I'm gonna pay for this, I just--
I don't know who you are or what-- I don't...
This was good and I'm glad. I don't care.
You've got a great cock.
You've--
Thank you.
So...
want to go get some breakfast?
They've got these rules about casinos hiring felons,
so he got me a gig in telemarketing.
We were scamming pensioners...
out of their retirement money.
I lasted two weeks.
Here you go. - By that time...
I was really getting in deep.
I owed one of the casinos over a hundred grand.
I put Shelly in a really awkward position.
I don't blame him for what he did.
What?
Your leg?
He did that to you?
He shot you? - No. Baseball bat.
I got off easy.
What do you mean you 'got off easy'?
I was out of control.
He maimed you, for fuck's sake!
Listen to me. I'm grateful for what he did.
I am absolutely serious.
Anytime I get an urge to play off the clock...
or so much as drop a quarter in a slot,
I just reach down and feel what's left of my cartilage.
It's an excellent reminder. - Jesus Christ.
I thought shit like that only happened in the movies.
Anyway, Shelly and I worked out...
a repayment plan.
Six years off the books...
at the Shangri-La cooling tables...
and in five days... - Three.
Oh! Oh, shit.
Oh, my God! Now? Are you sure?
I'm going into labor. Yeah, I'm going into labor.
Ow-ww!
Deep breaths, deep breaths. Stay very calm.
Okay, everybody, we're having a baby, we're having a baby.
You fucking cocksucker!
Who puts their bag...
in the middle of the fucking thing...
so a pregnant woman can trip over it?
Mikey? - Bernie.
I guess you're gonna be a grandfather, Bernie.
Huh. Is this you?
Hey, what the fuck, it runs.
Here, sit down.
You all right? - Yeah.
Anyway, we've got to get out of here.
Hey, Mikey.
How's your mom doing?
I'm gonna pretend like you give a shit...
and tell you she's getting by as long as she's high.
Her name is Charlene, in case you were wondering.
Hey, when's the last time you saw a doctor?
About six months ago, back in Jersey.
I wasn't about to go back there after they treated me like cattle.
Just 'cause I had no insurance, you know?
All those places are crawling with TB from them spics.
Listen, Mikey, if you want to...
why don't you drop by the Bettor Life Motel,
give us a chance to... to catch up?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, maybe we'll do that.
Play catch up, for the kid's sake.
Thanks. - Don't mention it.
$100 minimum table, sir.
No offense, pal,
but there's 20 other tables here.
What do you want to come sit on my head for?
I'm just gonna play one hand. I'm feeling lucky tonight.
I've got this voice in my head that says, 'This is the table.'
Insurance? - No.
Oh, yes! Yes, yes!
Busto! Mel, what's happening to you?
Oh, yeah, welcome to Mel's house.
Hey, where are you going? Stick around, pal.
You and me, we make a great team. Hey!
What was that?
I mean, what the fuck gives? Is it McGann?
The guy's been with me 12 years.
He's as stand-up as my fucking dick.
Maybe he's having money problems.
I'm gonna pull him.
No, no, no. - Was he counting them?
The mook with the streak? - Is there a problem?
No, there's no problem. Fella's on a streak, is all.
Let me guess, this is one of your 'coolers'?
Why don't you announce it to the whole...
fucking joint while you're at it?
They told me that you were a sticker...
for the old ways, but coolers?
What is this guy, really?
A car mechanic? Some kind of shill?
'Cause he doesn't look too effective to me.
He's the best. Take it from me. - All right. Sure. Whatever.
There are ways-- subtle ways--...
that we can keep the odds in our favor.
I'm talking about more forward-thinking methods.
I'm sure you've got a whole prospectus...
on the subject, right?
Well, as a matter of fact, yeah, I do.
For instance, I can tell you right off the bat...
the wallpaper's not gonna cut it.
It's too uplifting.
I would suggest going with some more muted tones.
Wallpaper? - Yeah. And personally,
I think the cocktail waitresses...
could pop another button or two.
Myself, I wouldn't hire anything less than a 'C' cup.
You know what that is? - No.
It's music to be sure. It's pleasant, not intrusive,
but recorded at a subsonic level is a mantra.
'Lose... lose... lose.'
We're just skimming the surface, Shelly.
We really need to talk.
Shelly?
You better come quick.
Contact his daughter...
and assist with the arrangements.
The Shangri-La will cover all expenses.
What about the Paradise? - She's going dark tonight.
Er, that won't be necessary.
# Can I steal a little love? #...
# Cool me honey, I'm on fire #...
# To steal your love is my desire #...
# Hug me, squeeze me, till I'm red #...
# Till my eyes bug out my head #...
# Coo me, woo me, turtledove #...
# Can I steal a little love? #...
# Please tell me,
why are you driving me crazy? #...
# Why do I dig you like I do? #...
# If I should steal a little kiss,
and you can prove that it was wrong #...
# Then I'll give it back to you #...
# Honey, baby with a smile #...
# I can walk you down the aisle #...
# I won't even need a shove #...
# Can I steal a little love? #
Young lady, over here. You want to give it a shot?
Yeah. Come here. - Five for $1.
Thanks, Bernie. - Good luck.
Are you ready?
Shit.
All right, double fisted.
Damn!
Too bad. Better luck next time.
You want to try again? - Yes.
No, no, no. Thank you. - Thanks.
What? - Nothing.
What? - You're an easy mark, is all.
I'm an easy mark?
You know where that comes from?
No.
Years ago, Shelly and me were working
Coney Island for the summer...
and when I'd see a guy who had a full...
wallet and was willing to open it up,
I'd mark him with chalk.
I'd put it on my hand and go something like,
'Hey, man, good work.' 'Hey, buddy, how you doing?'
What the guy didn't realize...
was that when he walked down the way...
Shelly could spot him a mile off.
An easy mark.
Thanks a lot, Bernie.
I've got to sit.
Hi.
You okay? - Yeah.
Did you notice, last night, that tattoo on my butt?
Little Joe? - Yeah.
Yeah, two 2's. 'Little Joe.'
I had a son.
His name was Joe.
I was his mother for one year.
You don't have to tell me this. - No, I want to, Bernie.
I gave my son up for adoption.
I just wanted my life back.
I was 17 going on 18...
and I was so fucking selfish.
My family didn't want nothing to do with me after that,
so I hitched a ride out here...
and thought I'd make it as a showgirl.
10 years later...
I'd like to think that if it happened...
when I was older,
with a guy that I cared about,
that it would have been different, you know?
I think about my little Joe sometimes...
and I do know I did the right thing.
I'm convinced of that.
Natalie...
I think...
I think I could kick your ass at the dime toss.
# You may not be an angel #...
# 'Cause angels are so few #...
# But until the day that one comes along... #...
Would you do something for me?
# I'll string along with you... #
Yeah!
Yeah! Yeah!
Bernie! - Yes!
Oh, yeah.
Ow! Ow! Jesus, ow.
Oh, yeah!
Bernie, let's do it up the ass. - Okay.
Please, please? - Okay, okay.
No, my ass! - Oh!
# And until the day that one comes along... #
Yes!
Shut the fuck up in there!
Did we wake you?
# For every little fauIt that you have #...
# See, I've got three or four #...
# The human little fauIts you do have #...
# Just make me love you more... #
I have to pee. I'm always peeing.
Hey.
How did you get in here?
I told the desk clerk Bernie was my old man.
He let us wait inside. Is that cool with you?
Bernie is out looking for a parking space.
I must have taken the last one.
I didn't get your name. - Natalie, Mikey.
Tell me something, Natalie, is he paying you?
Excuse me?
My old man, is he renting your ass?
Because, otherwise, I just don't get it.
I mean, a loser like my pops...
in the company of some primo tits and ass?
It don't compute.
Is this enough to get me a little taste?
Family discount?
Are you kidding me? - No, baby.
Mikey! - Hey, Bernie.
I told you we was gonna stop by.
I thought you'd call ahead first. We were at breakfast.
Hey. Hey.
You missed some.
Hey, that's nice.
Hi. - Hi.
You see, Bernie, the thing is...
we're kind of strapped.
I mean, Charly here is expecting like yesterday.
And we don't have the dough to make with...
the right nutrition for her and all.
So I was wondering...
if you would like to invest a little...
maybe in your grandchild's future,
his well-being.
It's almost three grand. That's all I got.
That's-- that's very generous.
Bless you, Bernie. You want to feel it?
You know, I really-- I don't think...
Oh-- I just feIt a kick.
Come on, Bernie, give me your hand.
You feel that? - I don't know. I think so.
Hey, we'll catch you later, Bernie.
Okay.
Thanks.
Take care, Dad.
New Shangri-La Hotel and Casino.
We break ground on her in six months.
She's perfect. Three floors of gaming,
Imax theater, entertainment center,
boutiques, restaurants, roller coaster.
You name it, we've got it.
She pays for herself in three years.
After that, it's easy money.
Isn't she great, Shell?
ln 'Lost Horizon, ' these people,
their plane crashes in the Himalayas...
and they get rescued,
Taken to this Utopia in the mountains, Shangri-La.
It's beautiful.
Totally isolated,
untouched by the outside world.
No war, no greed, no bullshit.
Time has slowed down.
You never age. It's paradise.
You see, that's what Shangri-La is.
It's paradise.
Yeah, we've seen the movie, Shelly.
What's your point?
My point is, you don't fuck with paradise.
Come on. Jesus, Shelly.
Hey, we're not trying to fuck with it.
We're trying to make it better. - How?
How you gonna make it better? It's perfect just the way it is.
It's the last of its kind. It's pure.
This-- this is a fucking mockery.
How is it a mockery, Shelly? It's right out of the movie.
Who's talking about a movie?
This is not a movie. This is my fucking life.
Let me ask you one question, where are you gonna be...
when they decide to change it back?
When people want the real Vegas again,
before all this 'Epcot Center' bullshit?
Who's gonna give it to them? You? I don't think so.
You know who? The same fucks...
who started this in the first place.
You know what's gonna happen?
It's gonna come around full circle...
and bite you on the fucking ass,
take my words for it.
Shelly, you make some good points, huh?
Maybe we'll swing back the other way...
someday. Who the hell knows?
But for now, this moment, I suggest we shoot the dice.
My friend, I think you should take some time...
just to think things through.
I know this is a lot to digest, I know that.
Wait up a second. What do you say?
I thought we were gonna go eat.
Why don't you try this table over here?
It's a little less crowded.
No, let's play here.
It's my lucky table. I always play here.
Come on, it's more private over here.
Shelly, I'm a big guy. I know how to take care of myself.
Go ahead. I know how to find you.
Go ahead. Go eat.
Here we go. Come on.
Out! Seven, line away.
What the fuck?
Come on, 'Pops.' What the hell?
I could have paid my mortgage with the money I just lost.
File a grievance, all right? Shithead.
Come on, give me two hot ones.
Come on, new shooter.
Nicky:
Give me 100 on right, 100 big yellow...
All right, shooter. Come on.
Hey, hurry up, Gramps! Come on,
your soup's getting cold, huh?
Four, hard four. - Give me $25 yellow.
Hey, 'Uncle Palsy'...
come on, throw them before you...
fucking keel over and die, old man.
Be there!
Seven, out. Line away. Thanks for the bets, folks.
Don't take it so hard, Pops. Everybody craps out.
Now go fucking change your Depends.
That's good.
Who's laughing now? Crack wise now,
you fucking 'Ken doll'
no-dick, suburbanite, fucking scum.
Huh? Now how's that for a game?
Nicky, Nicky. Hey, it's all right. - Get the fuck out of here!
Disrespectful cocksucker!
Nicky:
How do you like the game so far?
Nicky, Nicky, take it easy.
Come on. Come on, come on! That ain't right!
The guy fucked up my whole game.
Who the fuck does he think he is?
You're right. Forget about him, he's just a piece of shit.
Let me see your hand. - My hand is all right.
I got news for you. I thought this joint...
had more fucking class, okay?
It used to be we didn't let a bum...
like that in this fucking place.
Come on.
This town...
this town, you know,
all-- all I want to do...
is go some place where I can tell night from day,
where they've got clocks on the walls.
I can't breathe here anymore.
Four days and I'm gone. I don't even...
know if I can hold out that long.
So where does that leave us, Bernie?
A week ago,
I couldn't even remember what it was...
like to have a woman's hands on me.
I still pinch myself. I'm afraid I'm gonna wake up--
Come with me.
Natalie, I want you to come with me.
God, Bernie. - I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to spring it on you.
I-- I've been working on this compatibility chart, okay?
And it looks good, really it does.
So, what's the problem?
The problem is it's only good here.
But that's just for now, for the immediate future.
You know, when the planets realign...
maybe next year...
A year! ? Natalie, I can't wait another year.
I can't--
