Dialogue
edit- Jack Singer: I dreamt about my mother again last night.
- Betsy: Was she vacuuming naked?
- Jack Singer: No. She opened her eyes and I said, 'Mom, I'm gonna marry that girl,' and she smiled.
- Betsy: Really?
- Jack Singer: Yeah. Of course she was naked.
- Jack Singer: Do you know what a straight flush is? It's like... unbeatable.
- Betsy Nolan: "Like unbeatable" is not unbeatable.
- Jack Singer: Hey, I know that now, okay.
- Mahi Mahi: My name Mahi. Mahi Mahi.
- Jack Singer: Like the fish?
- Mahi Mahi: Yeah. My father was a fisherman.
- Jack Singer: My father left home when I was 5. That's why I'm named Jack, as in, "Jack tell your mother I'm just going out to get the paper."
- Ticket agent: Please, sir, if you don't get back in line...
- Jack Singer: Then, what? I'll be arrested? Put in airport jail?!
- Mahi Mahi: Chief Orman have pretty big influence around here.
- Jack Singer: Influence? He lives in a SHACK!
- Jack Singer: Betsy, hi, so what's the story?
- Betsy Nolan: I have to pack.
- Jack Singer: We can leave! What did you work out?
- Betsy Nolan: Um, he's taking me to Hawaii. It's only for a few days.
- Jack Singer: Come on. You're so like blithe about this all of a sudden, like you don't give a damn.
- Betsy Nolan: Of course I give a damn but this was not my idea okay, Jack? Poker was not my idea.
- Jack Singer: Would you please stop crucifying me with this?
- Betsy Nolan: Where's my bag?
- Jack Singer: He's going to jump all over you the second he gets there.
- Betsy Nolan: I won't let him. Oh please, Jack, give me a little credit.
- Jack Singer: He'll overcome you. What happens if you start screaming? It's like a jungle over there. He probably has servants and bodyguards and believe me they will drug you.
- Betsy Nolan: His son is going to be there, Jack. His granddaughter Tiffany will be there.
- Jack Singer: She knows the kid's name already. Listen, you'll be back Monday?
- Betsy Nolan: I don't know. Probably Tuesday or Wednesday.
- Jack Singer: Tuesday or Wednesday? That's almost a week!
- Betsy Nolan: What, you expect us to fly back and forth to Hawaii in 2 days?
- Jack Singer: Us? Already it's us.
- Betsy Nolan: Oh don't be infantile. I'm trying to make the best of this.
