Scuse me sir, but aren't you the one they call the Cincinnati Kid?
Murray
You don't like it, get a machine.
Roy
Jeez, it stinks in here.
Vinnie
What time is it?
Speed
Again what time is it?
Vinnie
My watch is slow. I'd like to know what time it is.
Speed
You're winnin $95. That's what time it is. Where the hell are you runnin'?
Vinnie
I'm not runnin anywhere. I just asked what it was.
Roy
It's 10:30.
[looks at his watch]
Vinnie
Gotta leave by 12.
[pauses]
Speed
Jeez!
[laughs]
Vinnie
I told you that when I sat down. I gotta leave by 12. Uh, Murray, didn't I say that when I sat down? I said I gotta leave by 12.
Speed
Don't talk to him. He's dealin'. You wanna rest for a while, Murray? Go lie down, sweetheart.
[To Murray]
Murray
You want speed or accuracy? Make up your mind.
[He continues shuffling slowly while Speed puffs on his cigar angrily.]
Roy
Hey, you wanna do me a really big favor? Smoke towards New Jersey.
[Speed blows smoke into Roy's face. Roy gets up and walks around.]
Murray
No kidding. I'm really worried about Felix. He's never been this late before. Maybe somebody should call.
Vinnie
Hm.
Murray
Hey, Oscar! Why don't you call Felix?!
Speed
Listen, why don't we chip in three dollars apiece and buy another window. How the hell can you breathe in here?
Murray
How many cards you got? Four?
Speed
Yes, Murray, we all have four cards. When you give us one more, we'll all have five. If you gave us two more, we'd all have six. You understand how it works now?
Murray
Is Oscar playing or not? Hey, Oscar!
[Yells off.; Cut to Oscar in the kitchen.]
Oscar Madison
Yeah?
[Yells off.]
Murray
Hey, Oscar, you in or out?
[Yells.]
Oscar Madison
Out, pussycat, out!
[Yells.]
Vinnie
I told my wife I'd be home by one the latest. We're making an eight o'clock plane to Florida. I told you that when I sat down.
Murray
Who goes to Florida in July?
Vinnie
Well, it's off-season. There's no crowds, and you get the best room for one-tenth the price. No cards.
Murray
Hm.
Speed
Some vacation. Six cheap people in an empty hotel.
Murray
Dealer takes four. Hey, you think maybe Felix is sick? I mean he's never been this late before.
Roy
You know, this is the same garbage from last week's game. I'm beginning to recognize things.
[picks up a piece of junk]
Murray
I'm out.
Speed
Two kings.
Vinnie
Straight.
Murray
Hey, maybe he's in his office locked in the john again. Did you know that Felix was once locked in the john overnight? Yeah. He wrote out his entire will on a half a roll of toilet paper What a nut.
[laughs.; laughs.; cracks up. The others laugh with him. Murry is still laughing.]
Speed
Don't play with your chips. I'm askin you nice. Don't play with your chips.
[to Vinnie]
Vinnie
I'm not playing. I'm counting. I mean, leave me alone, will you?
Speed
I'll leave you alone if you stop playin with your chips. I can't stand a guy who's winnin who plays with his chips.
[Oscar comes out of the kitchen with a tray of food and drinks and heads over to the table.]
Oscar Madison
This is my house, Vinnie. You wanna play with your chips, you play with them, darling.
[He puts his tray down on the coffee table next to the poker table.]
