:17:00
A joke. He made a joke.
:17:03
Do sit down, please. Merrill, you
and your mother can sit over here.
:17:07
- How do you know she's my mother?
- Alas, there are no secrets anymore.
:17:11
Actually, that's not quite true.
There is one secret, one last secret.
:17:15
It involves all of you.
:17:21
- I'm getting goose pimples.
- Hey--
:17:26
Ah, Mr. Schaffer!
:17:28
Curiosity got the better
of you, eh? Come and sit down.
:17:31
- I'm fine. Thanks.
- You haven't missed anything.
:17:35
We were just
cutting to the chase.
:17:37
Cutting to the chase.
:17:44
Well, you'll laugh later.
:17:46
Now, as you know, the odds against
winning a jackpot downstairs...
:17:50
or hitting the state lottery
are astronomical-- millions to one.
:17:53
A serious person doesn't
even bother, but today...
:17:57
you have the chance
of playing a game...
:18:00
where the odds of winning
are one in six.
:18:03
One in six.
:18:07
It's one throw...
:18:11
of the dice.
:18:17
This is my attorney,
Mr. Grisham...
:18:20
who tragically was born
without a personality.
:18:23
Mr. Grisham insists anyone who wishes
to participate in our experiment...
:18:28
sign this waiver, absolving the casino
from responsibility or damages...
:18:33
personal liability,
blah, blah, blah.
:18:37
So, who do you like, Claude?
:18:40
The young woman in the black coat.
She looks desperate.
:18:43
Yes, but she has
her mother with her.
:18:46
- That could slow her down, hmm?
- Perhaps.
:18:49
Now, 563 miles from here...
:18:53
is a little town called
Silver City, New Mexico.
:18:56
- Gold rush.
- Quite right, Nick.
:18:58
Yes, they struck gold there
in 1860.
