00:00See, the thing about poker is everybody's got an angle.
00:05You must be her.
00:07I'm Julius.
00:11See, you met this one already, huh?
00:13She's been spilling her secrets all afternoon.
00:15I don't mind.
00:17Marry me, Mariel.
00:20San Diego, California.
00:22Plan's a plan.
00:23Yeah, but you gotta promise, Julius.
00:25Promise.
00:26Dear Julius, it's really true what they say about California.
00:31As if the odds are stacked in your favor.
00:34Like anything is possible.
00:35Best world takes the win!
00:38Mariel, unexpected opportunity has come up.
00:41Wish me luck in Sin City.
00:43First time?
00:44What do you think so far?
00:45It's instructive.
00:46I got something to show you.
00:48Yeah, what's that?
00:49Three, two, one.
00:54America.
00:54Hey.
01:02You're new with this, aren't you?
01:04It's all luck.
01:06We're all just a hair's breadth.
01:07We're losing everything.
01:13You know what Julius said?
01:14He said, that sad girl, she needs someone to tell her what to do.
01:17Say, how about you?
01:18Is that what you want?
01:19This is the one thing we can do out there in the world, right in front of them.
01:25We want something, we gotta take it.
01:31You're really not afraid of being alone.
01:33Neither are you.
01:36I like you.
01:37You think I don't know exactly who you are?
01:39You got your secrets and I got mine.
01:41It's never been easy for people like us.
01:51We're all alone by something.
01:52Sometimes, if someone goes into your life, nothing's ever the same again.
02:05That's enough.
02:06Have a thought.
02:06That's enough.
02:09Word of God.
02:11You think I won't.
02:13Me.
02:14I like you.
02:15Okay.
02:16You guys.
