A scene from Out of the Past 1947
Jeff

[at the roulette wheel]

That isn't the way to play it.

Kathie

Why not?

Jeff

'Cause it isn't the way to win.

Kathie

Is there a way to win?

Jeff

Well, there's a way to lose more slowly.

Kathie

I prefer it like that.

Jeff

Chuck it in.

Kathie

Don't you like to gamble?

Jeff

Not against a wheel.

Kathie

Tell me why you're so hard to please.

Jeff

Take me where I can tell you.

Jeff Whit my friend, there's a million dames in this world. They all look like her. Whit No they don't. So she was here. Jeff According to all available evidence, she was. Whit Maybe you should have sent Stephanos. Could you find one dame in a million, Joe?
