Mike: I feel like Buckner walking back into Shea.
Teddy KGB: It hurts doesn't it? Your hopes dashed, your dreams down the toilet. And your fate is sitting
right besides you.
Mike: We can't run from who we are. Our destiny chooses us.
Mike: You were lookin' for that third three, but you forgot that Professor Green folded on Fourth Street and now you're
representing that you have it. The DA made his two pair, but he knows they're no good. Judge Kaplan was trying to squeeze
out a diamond flush but he came up short and Mr. Eisen is futilely hoping that his queens are going to stand up. So like I
said, the Dean's bet is $20.
Mike: Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker.
Worm: She's really got him by the balls.
Petra: That's not so bad, is it?
Worm: It depends on the grip
[Mike's girlfriend has just left him over his broken promise not to play poker]
Worm: You know
what always cheers me up?
Mike: No, what's that?
Worm: Rolled up aces over kings. Check-raising stupid tourists and
taking huge pots off of them. Playing all-night high-limit Hold'em at the Taj, "where the sand turns to gold." Stacks and
towers of checks I can't even see over.
Mike: Fuck it, let's go.
Worm: Don't tease me.
Mike: Let's play some cards.
Worm: Yes!
Mike: Why do you think the same five guys make it to the final table of the World Series of Poker EVERY YEAR?
What, are they the luckiest guys in Las Vegas?
Worm: I guess the sayings' true. In the poker game of life, women are the rake man. They are the fuckin'
rake.
Mike: What the fuck are you talkin' about. What saying?
Worm: I...I don't know. There ought to be one though
Mike: You can't lose what you don't put in the middle.
[Pause]
Mike : But you can't win much
either
Mike : I am making it look like i am pondering a call, but all I am really thinking about is Vegas and the fucking
Mirage
Teddy KGB: I stick it in you knock knock knock
