That's an 18,000 dollar bet, you sure you know what you're doin', kid?
Lucas I know this, that if I win this roll, I will save the place that I work from being sold, and the jobs of my friends that work there. Thus striking a blow at all that is evil and making this world a better place to be in.
Huh?
Lucas ...And I'll buy you guys a drink. [Lady smiles]
Where's the money, Lucas?
Lucas Joe, the money is gone.
I know it's GONE, where's it gone to?
Lucas Atlantic City.
Atlantic City. ...Is it coming back from Atlantic City?
Lucas I... I don't think so.
What's it doing in Atlantic City?
Lucas Recirculating.
Recirculating?
Lucas Yeah.
Lucas, listen to me. I told Mitchell Beck that you forgot to deposit the money. I told Mitchell that the money was still here.
Lucas Joe, that's not true. It's in Atlantic City... I swear!
Shut up, sit down, and don't you move.
Lucas It could be in other cities by now...
Oh, shut up! Under no circumstances do I want you to leave that couch... unless it's to get me $9000, and then you bring it here to me, okay?
Lucas Okay. You know, I think things are gonna be all right now, Joe.
Oh? And what makes you think that.
Lucas Who knows where thoughts come from? They just appear.
What's with you? Yesterday you were normal and today you're like the Chinese guy from Karate Kid. What's with you today?
Lucas What's with today, today?
Lucas, do you think it's possible for a person to be in love with someone else and not even know it?
Lucas In this life there are nothing but possibilities.
Well, that's good, because I have to tell Corey I love her by 1:37.
Lucas That's an excellent time.
Lucas Warren, look what you took. [going through the CD's that Warren stole from the store] Rap... metal... rap... metal... And Whitney Houston.
It's for my girlfriend, okay?
Lucas Suuure it is. You know, someone like you needs to diminish their criminal impulses, not magnify them. Maybe some jazz or some classical.
Maybe you bite me.
Oh, Lucas, I've decided to start a band.
Lucas Well, the first thing you need is a name. That way you know what kind of band you've got.
I was thinking Marc.
Lucas Is that with a "c" or with a "k"?
Well, my name is with a [looks down at name badge] "k". So my band could be with a "c". That way it's that whole, you know, psychedelic trip thing.
Lucas Always play with their minds.
Lucas Mitchell's the man, Joe.
And the man calls all the shots.
Lucas Damn the man.
Let me explain it to you. Mitchell's the man. I'm the idiot. You're the screw-up. And we're all losers. Welcome to Music Town.
