A line from JosephIn three weeks, you'll become dealers - and you'll learn a painful truth: Everybody hates you. You stand in the way of a million dollars, the player hates you. You know enough to cheat the casino, the casino hates you. The TV camera over your head tapes your every move, and yet you are alone. The players, the floor manager, the eye in the sky, they all watch you. You alone.
Joseph You get your license to learn how to deal and the whole world will open up to you. It's not just cards, you know. It's your future. I want you to concentrate. I hate you going back to that oyster bar. The world should be your oyster...If you'd only stop being afraid. Deal with courage. You're, you're a little pearl produced by that oyster bar. Une petite perle.
