A scene from Rounders 1998
Mike

Uh, you know what? I got my five grand here. That's just fine by me. I'm going home.

Teddy KGB

Fine. It's a **** joke anyway. After all, I am paying you with your money.

Mike

What did you say?

Teddy KGB

Your money... I am still up twenty grand... from this last time I stick it in you.

Mike

[Narrating]

They're trying to goad me, trying to own me. But this isn't a gunfight. It's not about pride or ego. It's only about money. I can leave now, even with Grama and KGB... and halfway to paying Petrovsky back. That's the safe play. I told Worm you can't lose what you don't put in the middle. But you can't win much either.
