1
00:00:50,648 --> 00:00:54,231
When venturing out
on your first blind date in a decade,

2
00:00:54,315 --> 00:00:56,648
it's crucial to have the right attitude.

3
00:00:58,356 --> 00:00:59,356
Hope for the best…

4
00:00:59,981 --> 00:01:01,606
- Ted?
- Sorry.

5
00:01:03,565 --> 00:01:05,065
…prepare for the worst.

6
00:01:10,648 --> 00:01:13,481
And who knows,
you just might be pleasantly surprised.

7
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:21,440
Or not.

8
00:01:22,898 --> 00:01:23,898
I got stood up.

9
00:01:24,315 --> 00:01:29,273
Yes, I deigned to go on a blind date
against all my better judgment.

10
00:01:29,356 --> 00:01:32,773
I was willing to lower myself
into the gutter…

11
00:01:32,856 --> 00:01:33,898
God, I miss dating.

12
00:01:34,231 --> 00:01:36,273
- And then he doesn't show.
- Are you sure?

13
00:01:37,231 --> 00:01:38,898
Well, either he didn't show

14
00:01:38,981 --> 00:01:40,940
or he took one look at me
and ran for the hills.

15
00:01:41,023 --> 00:01:42,815
Which is worse? I can't decide.

16
00:01:42,898 --> 00:01:44,606
I'm sure
there's a perfectly good explanation.

17
00:01:44,690 --> 00:01:46,648
- We're gonna get to the bottom of this.
- Oh, we're at the bottom.

18
00:01:46,731 --> 00:01:49,648
A complete stranger hurt my feelings.
I'd say that's scraping bottom.

19
00:01:49,731 --> 00:01:52,731
You shouldn't even be going
on blind dates. It's beneath you.

20
00:01:52,815 --> 00:01:54,398
Now, that's not true.

21
00:01:54,481 --> 00:01:56,981
I know a lot of great couples
that met on blind dates.

22
00:01:57,065 --> 00:01:58,856
- Eric and Marcie…
- Look, stop.

23
00:01:58,940 --> 00:02:00,481
Even if he had shown up,

24
00:02:00,565 --> 00:02:03,523
most first dates are like job interviews
with cocktails.

25
00:02:03,606 --> 00:02:04,940
Na-ah. I think, I'm done.

26
00:02:05,023 --> 00:02:06,856
That's what I said yesterday
about eating bread,

27
00:02:06,940 --> 00:02:08,356
and I just ordered pancakes, so…

28
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,231
Why should I risk having
a god-awful evening,

29
00:02:12,315 --> 00:02:15,606
when I am guaranteed to have fun
with you guys?

30
00:02:15,690 --> 00:02:17,273
Oh, honey, you're cute.

31
00:02:17,356 --> 00:02:19,148
- Hmm.
- But I'm never gonna fuck you.

32
00:02:19,231 --> 00:02:23,065
Look, I'm really sorry this happened
to you on your first date back out there

33
00:02:23,148 --> 00:02:24,190
but you have to keep trying.

34
00:02:24,273 --> 00:02:26,315
Na-ah, no, I'm like Punxsutawney Phil.
I came out,

35
00:02:26,398 --> 00:02:28,815
I saw my shadow and I'm going back in.
I'll see you guys next winter.

36
00:02:28,898 --> 00:02:31,856
Well, you have to take some risks,
so that you don't wind up an old maid.

37
00:02:31,940 --> 00:02:34,190
Oh, that's right!

38
00:02:34,273 --> 00:02:37,690
Must not wind up old maid.
Must not wind up old maid.

39
00:02:37,773 --> 00:02:40,398
Now, how am I gonna remember that?
Does anybody have a pen?

40
00:02:40,481 --> 00:02:43,273
Why do we get stuck with "old maid"
and "spinster,"

41
00:02:43,356 --> 00:02:45,773
and men get to be "bachelors"
and "playboys"?

42
00:02:45,856 --> 00:02:47,898
No matter how shriveled their dicks are.

43
00:02:47,981 --> 00:02:48,981
Okay!

44
00:02:50,148 --> 00:02:52,106
The end. New topic.

45
00:02:52,190 --> 00:02:53,981
Charlotte's 36th birthday,

46
00:02:54,065 --> 00:02:56,190
- Saturday night.
- Oh!

47
00:02:56,273 --> 00:02:58,981
I say, we spinsters take back Manhattan.

48
00:02:59,065 --> 00:03:01,190
Well, I've thought about it.

49
00:03:01,273 --> 00:03:03,731
And I've decided, I'm sticking at 35.

50
00:03:03,815 --> 00:03:05,648
- Here you go.
- Because it was such a good year?

51
00:03:05,731 --> 00:03:09,106
Because I'm just not where I thought
I'd be at 36.

52
00:03:09,190 --> 00:03:11,648
I don't feel 36,
and I don't look 36, right?

53
00:03:11,731 --> 00:03:12,716
Ah, no.

54
00:03:12,731 --> 00:03:15,315
And men are much more interested
in meeting 35-year-olds.

55
00:03:16,356 --> 00:03:17,341
So I'm sticking.

56
00:03:17,356 --> 00:03:20,648
We all turned 36, like big girls.
Now it's your turn.

57
00:03:20,731 --> 00:03:22,273
Oh, let her stick.

58
00:03:22,356 --> 00:03:24,856
Lying about her age is
the smartest thing she's done in years.

59
00:03:24,981 --> 00:03:29,023
Okay, then. Where are we celebrating
Charlotte's 35th birthday, the sequel?

60
00:03:29,106 --> 00:03:31,565
Sorry. Today is the baby nurse's
last day.

61
00:03:31,648 --> 00:03:34,023
From now on, you're gonna have to
book me a year in advance.

62
00:03:34,106 --> 00:03:36,273
- Wow, you're like Nobu.
- I can't go either.

63
00:03:36,356 --> 00:03:38,315
Richard's taking me to Atlantic City
for the weekend.

64
00:03:38,398 --> 00:03:40,648
Oh, what'd you do wrong?

65
00:03:40,731 --> 00:03:41,898
Oh, he loves to gamble,

66
00:03:41,981 --> 00:03:45,065
and there's some kind of heavyweight
prizefight thing he wants to see.

67
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,648
But we are going on his private jet.

68
00:03:47,731 --> 00:03:50,231
Well, no celebration is fine with me.

69
00:03:50,315 --> 00:03:52,398
Are you telling me the four of us
can't get together

70
00:03:52,481 --> 00:03:54,898
to celebrate Charlotte's
30-faux birthday?

71
00:03:55,731 --> 00:03:57,190
This is bullshit!

72
00:03:57,981 --> 00:04:00,523
Two nights later,
with no friends available, no dates,

73
00:04:00,606 --> 00:04:03,065
not even any good bad TV to watch…

74
00:04:06,523 --> 00:04:08,023
This is bullshit.

75
00:04:09,523 --> 00:04:13,815
Okay, this is my third and final
phone call.

76
00:04:13,898 --> 00:04:16,773
Miranda thinks she can get Steve
to watch the baby.

77
00:04:16,856 --> 00:04:18,398
Charlotte agreed to come out

78
00:04:18,481 --> 00:04:22,190
as long as we don't mention her birthday
or the number 36.

79
00:04:22,273 --> 00:04:24,606
I'm still a little fuzzy on the rules.

80
00:04:24,690 --> 00:04:27,606
Anyway, can't you get out
of Atlantic City?

81
00:04:27,690 --> 00:04:29,898
Oh, I don't know,
I'll have to ask Richard.

82
00:04:29,981 --> 00:04:33,981
Please do, because I am looking at
the last picture taken of the four of us

83
00:04:34,065 --> 00:04:35,940
and it is moldy.

84
00:04:36,065 --> 00:04:38,690
Miranda is wearing a blouse
with shoulder pads.

85
00:04:40,273 --> 00:04:43,690
Carrie's hell-bent on getting the four
of us together Saturday night.

86
00:04:43,773 --> 00:04:46,815
Would you be terribly disappointed
if I didn't come?

87
00:04:46,898 --> 00:04:48,231
Why not just bring them along?

88
00:04:48,815 --> 00:04:51,273
I'll arrange for comp suites,
and there's plenty of room on the jet.

89
00:04:51,356 --> 00:04:52,398
Yes!

90
00:04:53,648 --> 00:04:55,815
That Friday,
I picked up my fellow jet setter

91
00:04:55,898 --> 00:04:57,190
on the way to the airport.

92
00:04:59,940 --> 00:05:02,315
Under the boardwalk
We'll be having some…

93
00:05:02,398 --> 00:05:03,398
What?

94
00:05:03,981 --> 00:05:05,898
I can't go. I'm just…

95
00:05:06,815 --> 00:05:08,648
Not ready to be separated from the baby.

96
00:05:09,106 --> 00:05:10,606
- What?
- I'm kidding!

97
00:05:11,315 --> 00:05:14,565
Steve took him two hours ago.
I'm free! I'm leaving the compound!

98
00:05:14,648 --> 00:05:18,023
Don't do that to me.
I'm a 36-year-old woman!

99
00:05:18,106 --> 00:05:20,356
Come on in.
I just need two seconds. Two seconds.

100
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,606
- Okay.
- Two seconds.

101
00:05:22,023 --> 00:05:23,523
Oh, man.

102
00:05:24,773 --> 00:05:27,440
- Oh, hi Magda. How are you?
- You wanna see something beautiful?

103
00:05:27,523 --> 00:05:30,690
- Come, I show you. Look at him.
- Mmm-hmm.

104
00:05:30,773 --> 00:05:33,815
You ever see such beautiful face?
Look, here.

105
00:05:34,690 --> 00:05:36,148
- So smiley.
- Mmm.

106
00:05:36,898 --> 00:05:39,565
Oh! Mmm-hmm.

107
00:05:39,648 --> 00:05:43,273
And here, after bath,
with his little pupik.

108
00:05:47,231 --> 00:05:48,231
Okay.

109
00:05:51,273 --> 00:05:57,065
As I live and breathe, Ms. Hobbes,
I never thought I'd see the day.

110
00:05:57,148 --> 00:05:58,856
That's not me, that's her.

111
00:05:58,940 --> 00:06:00,606
I didn't even take most of those.

112
00:06:00,690 --> 00:06:03,940
Okay, this is the only sweater I have
that covers my ass.

113
00:06:04,565 --> 00:06:07,231
Do you think I can get away with this
and stretchy pants all weekend?

114
00:06:07,315 --> 00:06:09,898
Are you kidding? Atlantic City
is the capital of stretchy pants.

115
00:06:09,981 --> 00:06:11,023
They're mandatory down there.

116
00:06:14,940 --> 00:06:16,106
Let's go, let's go, let's go.

117
00:06:17,815 --> 00:06:19,190
Hi, how you doing?

118
00:06:19,273 --> 00:06:21,481
Steve, what's wrong?
What are you doing back here?

119
00:06:21,565 --> 00:06:23,106
Oh, I thought I forgot the wipies.

120
00:06:23,190 --> 00:06:25,398
- Oh.
- But it turns out, um, actually…

121
00:06:25,481 --> 00:06:28,356
I don't think I can do this.

122
00:06:30,023 --> 00:06:31,023
Excuse me?

123
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,273
I'm afraid that I might break him
or something.

124
00:06:33,356 --> 00:06:37,690
Look, I accidentally scratched his face
with my dirty fingernail. Look.

125
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,856
Um, it's nothing.
You've taken care of him before.

126
00:06:41,940 --> 00:06:42,940
- It's been fine.
- Wait, wait.

127
00:06:42,981 --> 00:06:45,648
But, yeah, but for two hours.

128
00:06:45,731 --> 00:06:48,065
Yeah, for two hours I'm great,
but after two hours, I might…

129
00:06:49,648 --> 00:06:51,856
accidentally kill him.

130
00:06:51,940 --> 00:06:55,023
Look, we're both afraid
we're gonna kill the baby.

131
00:06:55,106 --> 00:06:56,398
That's a given.

132
00:06:56,481 --> 00:06:58,023
But we made an agreement this week.

133
00:06:58,106 --> 00:07:00,356
Monday to Friday, I try not to kill him.

134
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,356
Saturday and Sunday,
you try not to kill him.

135
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,190
- Huh? Yeah?
- Wait…

136
00:07:08,940 --> 00:07:09,940
I'm sorry.

137
00:07:11,981 --> 00:07:12,981
I can't do it.

138
00:07:18,315 --> 00:07:20,106
You should go,
you're gonna miss the plane.

139
00:07:20,190 --> 00:07:22,273
No way, the four of us are going
to Atlantic City.

140
00:07:22,356 --> 00:07:23,690
We will figure something out.

141
00:07:26,606 --> 00:07:29,815
Hello! Hello! Hello!
Sorry I'm so late!

142
00:07:29,898 --> 00:07:32,148
- Hi!
- Charlotte, welcome aboard.

143
00:07:32,231 --> 00:07:34,106
Where is everybody?
I thought I was late.

144
00:07:34,231 --> 00:07:35,773
Oh, they had some kind of problem.

145
00:07:35,856 --> 00:07:37,481
Something with the baby.
Blah, blah, blah.

146
00:07:37,565 --> 00:07:38,773
They're meeting us down there.

147
00:07:38,856 --> 00:07:40,856
They are? But…

148
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:44,440
So, it's just going to be
the three of us for the whole flight?

149
00:07:44,523 --> 00:07:46,606
Yeah, come in.
Make yourself comfortable.

150
00:07:48,690 --> 00:07:52,148
Oh! Samantha, you shouldn't have!

151
00:07:55,731 --> 00:07:57,690
Ooh, it's pretty.

152
00:07:58,731 --> 00:07:59,731
But what is it?

153
00:07:59,815 --> 00:08:03,648
I'm sorry, that was, um,
actually meant for Samantha. It's a…

154
00:08:06,231 --> 00:08:08,606
- Pearl thong.
- For me?

155
00:08:09,356 --> 00:08:11,565
Oh, you naughty boy.

156
00:08:16,606 --> 00:08:20,190
Did I tell you I've taken up knitting?
I find it really calms my nerves.

157
00:08:20,606 --> 00:08:23,190
Practical and stimulating.

158
00:08:23,273 --> 00:08:25,023
What will they think of next?

159
00:08:25,106 --> 00:08:27,856
Knitting is the new yoga,
according to New York Magazine.

160
00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:30,315
- I'm making these for little Brady.
- Maybe later if you're good…

161
00:08:30,398 --> 00:08:31,341
Mmm-hmm.

162
00:08:31,356 --> 00:08:32,981
I'll give you a pearl necklace to match.

163
00:08:33,065 --> 00:08:34,273
- Oh.
- My father gave me

164
00:08:34,356 --> 00:08:37,190
the most beautiful pearl necklace
for my sweet 16.

165
00:08:37,273 --> 00:08:40,940
Actually, we're talking about
the other kind of pearl necklace.

166
00:08:41,023 --> 00:08:44,148
You know,
when a guy decorates your neck.

167
00:08:46,898 --> 00:08:49,856
You're sure that Carrie said
they were coming down tonight?

168
00:08:51,148 --> 00:08:53,815
"Knit one, purl two"
would never sound the same

169
00:08:53,898 --> 00:08:54,898
to Charlotte again.

170
00:08:58,190 --> 00:09:00,481
You know that I need
to go somewhere for two days

171
00:09:00,565 --> 00:09:02,481
- that I've been looking forward to…
- Hey, excuse me.

172
00:09:02,565 --> 00:09:03,550
No, no, no.

173
00:09:03,565 --> 00:09:05,190
- That's not what I'm talking about.
- Time out, guys.

174
00:09:06,065 --> 00:09:10,190
Magda here has offered to help Steve
with the baby over the weekend.

175
00:09:10,315 --> 00:09:11,565
No, that's not her job.

176
00:09:11,648 --> 00:09:12,856
Miranda, I'm begging you,

177
00:09:12,940 --> 00:09:15,356
throw some money at the problem
and let's hit the road.

178
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,106
We've already missed the jet.
How would we even get there?

179
00:09:19,315 --> 00:09:22,106
This is the final call
for Atlantic City.

180
00:09:22,190 --> 00:09:25,148
Passengers should be on board
for immediate departure.

181
00:09:25,231 --> 00:09:26,315
This is pleasant.

182
00:09:27,106 --> 00:09:30,315
I think we're on the old-lady express.

183
00:09:32,523 --> 00:09:34,565
- Where are all the old men?
- Dead.

184
00:09:35,023 --> 00:09:36,440
Or married to 20-year-olds.

185
00:09:36,981 --> 00:09:38,981
I am so excited.

186
00:09:39,065 --> 00:09:42,023
I have been dreaming about being alone
with these for months.

187
00:09:42,106 --> 00:09:44,356
I love that The New Yorker is your porn.

188
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,731
Do you think we'll still be friends
when we're this old?

189
00:09:47,815 --> 00:09:48,815
Sure.

190
00:09:49,273 --> 00:09:50,731
What do you mean, "sure"?

191
00:09:50,815 --> 00:09:54,023
I could barely get us together for
the weekend, and we're all still mobile.

192
00:09:54,106 --> 00:09:55,106
Mmm-hmm.

193
00:09:56,481 --> 00:09:58,565
Hey, New Yorker, I'm talking to you.

194
00:09:59,815 --> 00:10:03,273
How are we gonna make it to 70
if you've already zoned me out?

195
00:10:04,481 --> 00:10:05,940
Okay, I'm listening. Talk fast.

196
00:10:06,023 --> 00:10:09,190
I'm serious. Friendships don't
magically last 40 years.

197
00:10:09,273 --> 00:10:10,773
You have to invest in them.

198
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:12,731
It's like your savings.

199
00:10:12,815 --> 00:10:14,981
You don't expect to wake up one day
when you're old

200
00:10:15,065 --> 00:10:17,398
and find a big bucket of money
waiting there.

201
00:10:17,481 --> 00:10:19,231
Well, did you finally open that IRA?

202
00:10:19,315 --> 00:10:21,856
- No, my point is…
- Well…

203
00:10:22,398 --> 00:10:25,648
We need an emotional retirement plan.

204
00:10:26,190 --> 00:10:28,606
This is important,
making time for each other

205
00:10:28,690 --> 00:10:30,106
and taking trips like this.

206
00:10:30,606 --> 00:10:33,606
Because, as we can see here,
at the end of the line,

207
00:10:33,690 --> 00:10:36,565
it's just gonna be us ladies
riding a bus.

208
00:10:38,106 --> 00:10:39,606
I'm so happy right now.

209
00:10:39,690 --> 00:10:43,190
Atlantic City,
departing at gate 104.

210
00:10:43,273 --> 00:10:44,523
- Hi.
- Hi.

211
00:10:48,898 --> 00:10:52,023
Two New Yorker Magazines
and two knit booties later,

212
00:10:52,106 --> 00:10:56,356
we all arrived
at the understated Taj Mahal casino.

213
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,023
Luck be a lady tonight…

214
00:10:59,106 --> 00:11:01,731
Here it is, ladies, Atlantic City!

215
00:11:01,815 --> 00:11:05,023
Breathe deep and take it all in.

216
00:11:07,606 --> 00:11:11,148
Oh God, I've missed this.

217
00:11:11,231 --> 00:11:13,440
Oh, yeah.

218
00:11:13,523 --> 00:11:16,690
- I thought you'd never been here before.
- I'm referring to the cigarette smoke.

219
00:11:16,773 --> 00:11:18,898
- Look at all the old ladies.
- Oh!

220
00:11:18,981 --> 00:11:21,523
Oh, this is nothing.
You should've been on the bus with us.

221
00:11:21,606 --> 00:11:22,690
I wish I had been.

222
00:11:22,773 --> 00:11:25,315
Oh, please,
a little harmless over-the-bra action

223
00:11:25,398 --> 00:11:27,731
and Miss Priss here
is running for a parachute.

224
00:11:27,815 --> 00:11:29,731
Have you ever heard of a pearl necklace?

225
00:11:29,815 --> 00:11:30,981
Uh-huh.

226
00:11:31,065 --> 00:11:32,065
I'm hitting the slots.

227
00:11:32,148 --> 00:11:34,148
Oh, and I told Richard,
I'd stop by his baccarat game.

228
00:11:34,231 --> 00:11:35,940
No, no, no, not so fast.

229
00:11:36,023 --> 00:11:38,856
We'll take care of all that later.
But right now,

230
00:11:38,940 --> 00:11:41,398
I'm taking my ladies to dinner.

231
00:11:41,481 --> 00:11:43,106
That's right. It's on me.

232
00:11:43,190 --> 00:11:44,190
- Steak? You got it.
- Oh.

233
00:11:44,273 --> 00:11:45,981
- Lobster? Coming right up.
- All right.

234
00:11:46,065 --> 00:11:50,940
Nothing is too fancy
for my Atlantic City ladies.

235
00:11:51,023 --> 00:11:52,023
Whoo!

236
00:11:56,148 --> 00:11:59,190
We have got to get a picture here.
This place is fantastic.

237
00:11:59,273 --> 00:12:02,690
- Is that a euphemism for tacky?
- It's chandelierious.

238
00:12:02,773 --> 00:12:04,773
Would it be bad
to order more sour cream?

239
00:12:04,856 --> 00:12:06,940
No. Eat your heart out.
You're on vacation.

240
00:12:07,023 --> 00:12:09,981
Oh! I almost forgot
about Charlotte's present.

241
00:12:10,065 --> 00:12:12,065
- Oh!
- It's tomorrow and I said I didn't…

242
00:12:12,148 --> 00:12:15,606
Relax. I bought it
in the gift shop for $3.99.

243
00:12:20,231 --> 00:12:21,606
Oh!

244
00:12:23,815 --> 00:12:26,065
Old Maid? Is this supposed to be funny?

245
00:12:26,148 --> 00:12:27,690
Of course, it's supposed to be funny.

246
00:12:27,773 --> 00:12:30,106
Look at you, you couldn't be farther
from an old maid.

247
00:12:30,190 --> 00:12:32,731
I remember her looking a lot older.
She looks about our age now.

248
00:12:34,106 --> 00:12:35,856
Oh, she's had work done.

249
00:12:35,940 --> 00:12:38,981
So, here's where
all the bathing beauties are hiding.

250
00:12:39,065 --> 00:12:40,606
Oh, you flatterer.

251
00:12:42,398 --> 00:12:44,690
Samantha, my poker game is about
to start. Would you like to join me?

252
00:12:44,773 --> 00:12:47,148
Mmm, I don't think so.
I think I'll stay with the girls.

253
00:12:47,231 --> 00:12:48,231
All right.

254
00:12:48,315 --> 00:12:51,315
Hey, Richard, welcome back
to the Taj Mahal. How are you?

255
00:12:51,398 --> 00:12:52,981
I'm very well, Denise. Thank you.

256
00:12:53,065 --> 00:12:58,231
Oh, hello Denise. I… I'm Samantha.
It's a pleasure to meet you.

257
00:12:58,315 --> 00:13:00,315
Well, if you ladies will excuse me,

258
00:13:00,398 --> 00:13:03,065
there are five gentlemen
waiting to take my money.

259
00:13:03,148 --> 00:13:04,565
- I'll walk you out.
- Well, thank you.

260
00:13:06,690 --> 00:13:08,315
That reminds me, I have to pump soon.

261
00:13:08,398 --> 00:13:10,565
Yeah, who picked this breastaurant?

262
00:13:10,648 --> 00:13:13,940
Cleavage is big here.
It's part of the regional charm.

263
00:13:14,898 --> 00:13:17,148
All right. I propose a toast.

264
00:13:18,815 --> 00:13:21,356
To the four of us. May we always…

265
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,731
I think I will join Richard, after all.
Good night.

266
00:13:29,815 --> 00:13:32,356
Ladies, would you like
a souvenir photograph?

267
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:33,773
- Oh!
- No.

268
00:13:33,856 --> 00:13:37,940
It was supposed to be of the four of us,
and now one of us has a puss on.

269
00:13:39,315 --> 00:13:40,315
Thanks.

270
00:13:42,023 --> 00:13:43,481
When are we gonna go gamble?

271
00:13:43,606 --> 00:13:46,190
Come on. Baby needs a new pair of shoes.

272
00:13:49,231 --> 00:13:51,023
Seven! Winner!

273
00:13:51,106 --> 00:13:54,023
Okay, you won.
Now let's go find Samantha.

274
00:13:54,106 --> 00:13:55,148
But I'm winning.

275
00:13:55,231 --> 00:13:56,981
Well, that's why you should leave now.

276
00:13:57,065 --> 00:13:58,481
I don't wanna leave.

277
00:13:58,606 --> 00:14:00,898
I've been here half an hour
and no one's offered to buy us drinks.

278
00:14:00,981 --> 00:14:02,023
They're free.

279
00:14:02,106 --> 00:14:04,940
Hey, blondie. Blow my dice for luck.

280
00:14:05,231 --> 00:14:08,273
Oh, no no, no,
I don't know how to play the game.

281
00:14:08,356 --> 00:14:09,690
Let her do it.

282
00:14:09,773 --> 00:14:11,398
No, get the hot one.

283
00:14:11,815 --> 00:14:14,648
Yeah, I want you.
You're my lucky blonde. Blow.

284
00:14:17,731 --> 00:14:18,731
All right.

285
00:14:19,190 --> 00:14:20,773
- Okay.
- Same shooter.

286
00:14:20,856 --> 00:14:24,315
I'm still looking
for a five, shooter. Five to stay alive.

287
00:14:24,398 --> 00:14:26,065
- Come on.
- Here we go. Five.

288
00:14:28,148 --> 00:14:29,898
- Oh, my God!
- Fuck, I lost.

289
00:14:30,398 --> 00:14:31,398
Oh.

290
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,356
You just won me 12 grand, blondie.

291
00:14:33,731 --> 00:14:35,065
- What?
- Here.

292
00:14:39,106 --> 00:14:40,148
Oh, my God.

293
00:14:41,940 --> 00:14:44,231
Oh, I can't accept this.

294
00:14:44,315 --> 00:14:45,398
It's yours, Blondie.

295
00:14:46,023 --> 00:14:48,273
Get in the game. Have some fun.

296
00:14:53,065 --> 00:14:55,065
What are you gonna do with that?
You gonna gamble it?

297
00:14:55,148 --> 00:14:56,690
It's $1,000!

298
00:14:57,106 --> 00:14:58,690
"The hot one." Did you hear that?

299
00:14:58,773 --> 00:15:00,690
It could be a lot more.
I could coach you.

300
00:15:00,773 --> 00:15:03,273
"Lucky blonde." So sexist.

301
00:15:03,356 --> 00:15:05,190
It's found money.
What have you got to lose?

302
00:15:05,273 --> 00:15:07,731
$1,000, and that would
not make me happy.

303
00:15:07,815 --> 00:15:10,856
What would make all of us happy,
I believe,

304
00:15:10,940 --> 00:15:14,648
is to go see ZZ Top
in the Magic Carpet room.

305
00:15:14,731 --> 00:15:16,648
I think I'm gonna pass.

306
00:15:17,065 --> 00:15:19,023
I've got pay-per-view
and a frozen Milky Way

307
00:15:19,106 --> 00:15:20,315
waiting up for me in my room.

308
00:15:20,398 --> 00:15:23,815
What? A minute ago,
you were bouncing off the walls.

309
00:15:23,898 --> 00:15:25,023
This is what I'm like nowadays.

310
00:15:25,106 --> 00:15:27,606
I stop for a minute, I have to lie down.
Good night.

311
00:15:28,481 --> 00:15:29,481
What…

312
00:15:30,856 --> 00:15:32,356
You can't go to sleep!

313
00:15:32,815 --> 00:15:36,106
In five minutes,
Charlotte turns 35 again!

314
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,440
Good night!

315
00:15:39,481 --> 00:15:41,023
Charlotte went to sleep
that night

316
00:15:41,106 --> 00:15:43,481
with a $1,000-chip on her shoulder.

317
00:15:45,856 --> 00:15:48,523
As a rule,
the easier a game is to understand,

318
00:15:48,606 --> 00:15:51,648
the greater the house edge,
and roulette is no exception.

319
00:15:52,231 --> 00:15:56,481
The house edge on all bets
is 1/19 or 5.26%,

320
00:15:56,565 --> 00:15:59,731
except for a 0-00-1-2-3 combination.

321
00:15:59,815 --> 00:16:02,440
Which carries a house edge of 7.89%.

322
00:16:02,523 --> 00:16:05,981
People go to casinos for
the same reason they go on blind dates,

323
00:16:06,065 --> 00:16:08,273
hoping to hit the jackpot.

324
00:16:08,356 --> 00:16:11,523
But mostly, you just wind up broke
or alone in a bar.

325
00:16:12,356 --> 00:16:14,940
If we know the house always wins,

326
00:16:15,815 --> 00:16:16,815
why gamble?

327
00:16:23,565 --> 00:16:24,648
The next morning,

328
00:16:24,731 --> 00:16:27,940
Richard and Samantha awoke
in the comfort of the Kublai Khan Suite.

329
00:16:28,023 --> 00:16:30,398
How long do you think you'll be off
with the girls?

330
00:16:30,481 --> 00:16:33,773
Oh, all day probably.
What are your plans?

331
00:16:35,106 --> 00:16:36,773
I haven't decided yet.

332
00:16:40,523 --> 00:16:44,065
Oh. I'm sorry to interrupt, Richard.

333
00:16:44,148 --> 00:16:45,231
It's not a problem, Terry.

334
00:16:45,773 --> 00:16:49,315
Apparently, there were
no old maids at the Taj Mahal.

335
00:16:49,398 --> 00:16:50,398
Terry, was it?

336
00:16:51,148 --> 00:16:55,315
That ought to be easy to remember.
Terry, with her terrycloth towels.

337
00:16:56,106 --> 00:16:58,148
Samantha had
the distinct feeling,

338
00:16:58,231 --> 00:16:59,606
she was being Kublai-conned.

339
00:16:59,690 --> 00:17:00,690
Thank you.

340
00:17:07,231 --> 00:17:11,398
Samantha, you're not actually jealous
of a casino cleaning lady, are you?

341
00:17:11,481 --> 00:17:12,731
No.

342
00:17:12,815 --> 00:17:16,231
I just find it impressive that you seem
to know the name and cup size

343
00:17:16,315 --> 00:17:17,565
of every woman who works here.

344
00:17:17,648 --> 00:17:19,690
I know the male employees' names
as well.

345
00:17:20,690 --> 00:17:23,815
Doesn't mean I'm gonna sleep with them.
Aren't you keeping the girls waiting?

346
00:17:25,690 --> 00:17:26,690
Hi.

347
00:17:27,315 --> 00:17:28,523
I'm Samantha.

348
00:17:29,856 --> 00:17:31,898
Can I get you some towels?

349
00:17:31,981 --> 00:17:33,815
A chocolate for your pillow?

350
00:17:35,815 --> 00:17:36,815
A blowjob?

351
00:17:37,106 --> 00:17:40,148
Yes, but not necessarily in that order.

352
00:17:45,481 --> 00:17:49,065
Meanwhile,
Charlotte's encore 35th birthday

353
00:17:49,148 --> 00:17:51,148
was off to a running start.

354
00:18:01,231 --> 00:18:03,565
There she was, an old maid.

355
00:18:05,023 --> 00:18:06,273
And it wasn't funny.

356
00:18:08,523 --> 00:18:12,148
Three hours later, I was still waiting
for our foursome to come together.

357
00:18:12,231 --> 00:18:13,731
Here we go. This is the spin.

358
00:18:13,856 --> 00:18:15,315
Yes, you're quite the spinster.

359
00:18:15,398 --> 00:18:16,981
Hi. I'm sorry I'm late.

360
00:18:17,065 --> 00:18:18,815
I've been fucking Richard
for the past three hours.

361
00:18:18,898 --> 00:18:21,440
- I think he's all fucked out now.
- Is he still breathing?

362
00:18:21,523 --> 00:18:24,315
It was defensive fucking.
I had no choice.

363
00:18:24,398 --> 00:18:27,898
There are cheap-looking whores
flying at him from every direction here.

364
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,940
There she was,
Miss Atlantic Slutty.

365
00:18:47,065 --> 00:18:49,190
Charlotte, are you in there?

366
00:18:49,273 --> 00:18:50,981
No, but I think Harlot is.

367
00:18:51,065 --> 00:18:52,731
I didn't like any of the clothes
that I packed,

368
00:18:52,815 --> 00:18:55,565
so, I just picked something up
at one of the casino shops.

369
00:18:55,648 --> 00:18:59,231
Those are for women who have lost
all their money and have to turn tricks.

370
00:18:59,315 --> 00:19:01,023
- Does this gal gamble?
- Yeah!

371
00:19:01,106 --> 00:19:02,190
Okay, let's go.

372
00:19:06,523 --> 00:19:09,648
No wonder the house always wins.
These guys are smothered in breasts.

373
00:19:10,273 --> 00:19:11,565
I don't know what I was thinking

374
00:19:11,648 --> 00:19:13,690
bringing a cheating man
to Atlantic Titty.

375
00:19:14,981 --> 00:19:16,273
Put your bets down.

376
00:19:16,356 --> 00:19:19,565
- Hey, what you doing down there, huh?
- Oh, it's the pearl thong.

377
00:19:20,023 --> 00:19:22,440
It's good for foreplay.
Not so good for post-play.

378
00:19:22,523 --> 00:19:23,565
All bets in?

379
00:19:23,648 --> 00:19:25,440
Whoa! You bet it all?

380
00:19:25,523 --> 00:19:27,690
You gotta play big if you wanna win big.

381
00:19:27,773 --> 00:19:28,773
Ma'am, would you like a hit?

382
00:19:30,190 --> 00:19:32,815
- Over.
- Well, we just lost big.

383
00:19:32,898 --> 00:19:34,231
It's all part of the fun.

384
00:19:34,981 --> 00:19:35,981
We're gonna need your chip.

385
00:19:38,023 --> 00:19:40,356
- Who, me?
- You're sitting on $1,000.

386
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,023
Don't make me hit the ATM again.

387
00:19:42,106 --> 00:19:43,565
Haven't we lost enough?

388
00:19:43,648 --> 00:19:45,856
- We're just getting started.
- You playing this hand, or what?

389
00:19:45,940 --> 00:19:48,773
Ladies, if you're not gonna play,
you have to give up your seats.

390
00:19:48,856 --> 00:19:51,065
- Okay…
- No, it's okay, sir, we're leaving.

391
00:19:51,148 --> 00:19:54,773
But, would…
would you mind taking our picture first?

392
00:19:54,856 --> 00:19:56,065
Oh, wait, I need lipstick.

393
00:19:56,148 --> 00:19:57,898
I'm not allowed to do that, ma'am.

394
00:19:57,981 --> 00:20:00,106
Jesus Christ, it's not Disneyland.

395
00:20:00,190 --> 00:20:01,773
Hey, Red, move your fat ass!

396
00:20:06,690 --> 00:20:08,190
What did you just say to her?

397
00:20:08,273 --> 00:20:10,023
Who the hell do you think you are?

398
00:20:10,106 --> 00:20:12,981
- Oh, fuck you.
- Yeah, get in the game or get out.

399
00:20:13,065 --> 00:20:15,440
Guys, guys, let's go. It's okay.

400
00:20:15,523 --> 00:20:19,106
No, it is most certainly not okay.

401
00:20:19,190 --> 00:20:23,190
Listen, you big jerk,
her ass isn't normally this big.

402
00:20:24,398 --> 00:20:27,190
Yes. Thank you, I almost forgot.

403
00:20:27,273 --> 00:20:30,898
My ass is fat because I just had a baby,
you asshole!

404
00:20:30,981 --> 00:20:32,481
What's your excuse?

405
00:20:32,565 --> 00:20:34,940
Yeah. You having triplets?

406
00:20:37,315 --> 00:20:38,315
Come on, let's go.

407
00:20:41,023 --> 00:20:43,690
The Lennox Lewis match
sold out that night.

408
00:20:43,773 --> 00:20:46,315
But our heavyweight fight,
caused a bigger stir.

409
00:20:46,398 --> 00:20:48,523
Guys, I think I'm gonna go upstairs.

410
00:20:48,606 --> 00:20:51,106
Oh, come on, they're just idiots.
Don't go.

411
00:20:51,190 --> 00:20:53,065
I'm tired. I'm sorry, Charlotte.

412
00:20:53,148 --> 00:20:54,773
- Happy birthday.
- No, please stay.

413
00:20:55,190 --> 00:20:57,065
Come on, you can have my chip!

414
00:20:57,148 --> 00:20:58,606
Ah, it's Richard.

415
00:20:58,690 --> 00:21:00,981
Hello. Uh-huh. Really?

416
00:21:02,606 --> 00:21:05,940
- Do you think I should go talk to her?
- No, I think she'll be all right.

417
00:21:06,023 --> 00:21:08,898
Sure, I'll go
with one of the girls. Ciao.

418
00:21:09,773 --> 00:21:12,356
He had a sudden conference call
and he can't go to the fight.

419
00:21:12,481 --> 00:21:14,065
"Go with the girls." Right.

420
00:21:14,398 --> 00:21:17,065
So he can stay in the room
and get serviced by room service.

421
00:21:17,148 --> 00:21:18,648
We'll see about that.

422
00:21:25,606 --> 00:21:27,023
Shit! Shit!

423
00:21:27,773 --> 00:21:28,773
Whoa!

424
00:21:37,231 --> 00:21:40,690
Under other circumstances,
running stairs in a pearl thong

425
00:21:40,773 --> 00:21:43,481
would have been Samantha's idea
of a good time.

426
00:21:43,565 --> 00:21:45,148
But by the eighth floor,

427
00:21:45,231 --> 00:21:48,731
somewhere between pissed off
and getting off,

428
00:21:48,815 --> 00:21:50,606
she had to take it off.

429
00:22:00,148 --> 00:22:01,273
Yes, thank you, I will.

430
00:22:02,106 --> 00:22:03,106
No one's here?

431
00:22:05,315 --> 00:22:06,315
No one's here?

432
00:22:06,398 --> 00:22:07,690
What's going on?

433
00:22:07,773 --> 00:22:09,690
I can't do this anymore.

434
00:22:09,773 --> 00:22:10,940
That's what's going on.

435
00:22:11,023 --> 00:22:13,106
I just ran up 11 flights of stairs,

436
00:22:13,190 --> 00:22:16,148
because I was sure that you were up here
fucking someone else.

437
00:22:16,231 --> 00:22:18,606
- As you can see, I'm not.
- Right now.

438
00:22:18,690 --> 00:22:22,440
Right now, you're not.
But you were, and you will again.

439
00:22:22,523 --> 00:22:26,315
And I can't spend my life running up
and down stairs wondering when.

440
00:22:26,398 --> 00:22:29,273
I thought I could handle this,
but I can't.

441
00:22:30,023 --> 00:22:31,106
I'm too old.

442
00:22:32,190 --> 00:22:33,981
I'm 37, after all.

443
00:22:36,940 --> 00:22:40,190
I told you I'd do my best
never to hurt you again, and I meant it.

444
00:22:40,273 --> 00:22:42,315
Right. Your best.

445
00:22:43,231 --> 00:22:45,773
Samantha, I love you.

446
00:22:46,648 --> 00:22:48,023
I love you too, Richard.

447
00:22:48,940 --> 00:22:50,398
But I love me more.

448
00:22:57,606 --> 00:22:59,690
And there,
high above the casino,

449
00:22:59,773 --> 00:23:04,148
Samantha pulled her highest bet,
her heart, off the table.

450
00:23:15,231 --> 00:23:18,690
And just when Samantha thought
she might have folded too soon…

451
00:23:23,898 --> 00:23:26,106
Okay, one drink here
and then we should see the boardwalk

452
00:23:26,190 --> 00:23:27,773
- before it gets too dark.
- Okay.

453
00:23:27,856 --> 00:23:30,523
- Okay.
- Hey, hey. Can we buy you a drink?

454
00:23:30,606 --> 00:23:31,940
Yeah, better,
would you like to sit down?

455
00:23:32,023 --> 00:23:33,815
- Oh, no, we're fine.
- That would be nice.

456
00:23:35,190 --> 00:23:36,690
So, you having a good time?

457
00:23:36,773 --> 00:23:39,106
Yes, actually, today is my birthday.

458
00:23:39,856 --> 00:23:42,606
- Oh.
- Oh. Now it's your birthday.

459
00:23:42,690 --> 00:23:43,856
Well, happy birthday.

460
00:23:44,648 --> 00:23:46,940
- Ah, yeah.
- So, what are your names?

461
00:23:47,023 --> 00:23:49,940
Uh-huh. Can you just… One second?

462
00:23:50,023 --> 00:23:51,356
What is the point of this?

463
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,106
I thought you wanted a drink.

464
00:23:53,190 --> 00:23:56,190
Can I please have a word
with you, alone?

465
00:23:57,273 --> 00:23:58,273
Sure.

466
00:23:59,398 --> 00:24:00,398
- Okay.
- We'll be right back.

467
00:24:01,481 --> 00:24:03,481
It's Charlotte.

468
00:24:08,315 --> 00:24:11,106
- The one in black's cute, right?
- Yeah, I didn't leave Manhattan

469
00:24:11,190 --> 00:24:13,481
to have a double date with two guys
we'll never see again.

470
00:24:13,565 --> 00:24:16,023
You don't know that.
You didn't even talk to them.

471
00:24:16,106 --> 00:24:17,148
I don't want to talk to them.

472
00:24:17,231 --> 00:24:20,315
I would rather have
a real conversation with you.

473
00:24:20,398 --> 00:24:21,606
Can't we just have one drink?

474
00:24:21,690 --> 00:24:23,440
- Oh, come on.
- It might be fun.

475
00:24:23,523 --> 00:24:24,773
Come on, let's go.

476
00:24:24,856 --> 00:24:25,856
They're gone.

477
00:24:27,023 --> 00:24:28,815
Oh. Ha.

478
00:24:29,106 --> 00:24:30,315
Well, problem solved.

479
00:24:32,773 --> 00:24:33,940
Twenty minutes later,

480
00:24:34,023 --> 00:24:36,398
we were out of the dark
and into the light.

481
00:24:36,773 --> 00:24:39,648
Isn't this amazing?
It's like a postcard from the '20s.

482
00:24:40,648 --> 00:24:43,481
We couldn't have had one drink?
What's the harm in having one drink?

483
00:24:43,565 --> 00:24:45,315
I can't believe
you're still upset about that.

484
00:24:45,398 --> 00:24:48,065
What role did you think those guys
were gonna play in our lives?

485
00:24:48,148 --> 00:24:51,273
- Who knows? We might have hit it off.
- Oh, come on.

486
00:24:51,356 --> 00:24:53,273
Let's look at the odds, realistically.

487
00:24:53,356 --> 00:24:55,856
How many guys
do we ever hit it off with?

488
00:24:55,940 --> 00:24:59,190
Very few, and even if we do,
those relationships don't last.

489
00:24:59,273 --> 00:25:02,065
And even if they did, men die first,
so we're right back where we started.

490
00:25:02,148 --> 00:25:04,815
I say, we skip all the drama

491
00:25:04,898 --> 00:25:07,856
and just enjoy each other's company.

492
00:25:08,273 --> 00:25:09,273
Now.

493
00:25:10,481 --> 00:25:12,440
But I don't want to skip all the drama.

494
00:25:12,981 --> 00:25:15,731
That's life, that's everything,
that's relationships,

495
00:25:15,815 --> 00:25:17,648
and anniversaries, and kids.

496
00:25:18,398 --> 00:25:20,648
And I want all that,
in addition to my friends.

497
00:25:20,731 --> 00:25:23,398
Well, that sounds wonderful,
but don't bank on it happening.

498
00:25:27,315 --> 00:25:29,148
You must be getting cold.
I'll meet you at the hotel.

499
00:25:29,231 --> 00:25:30,940
I'm gonna get some saltwater taffy.

500
00:25:34,315 --> 00:25:36,773
- Are you sure?
- Yeah, I'm dying for it.

501
00:25:38,315 --> 00:25:40,398
Watch the tram car, please.

502
00:25:40,481 --> 00:25:42,398
Watch the tram car, please.

503
00:25:50,731 --> 00:25:53,398
By my fifth piece
of peppermint taffy, I realized

504
00:25:54,106 --> 00:25:56,315
maybe I wasn't banking on my friends.

505
00:25:56,856 --> 00:25:58,106
I was hiding in them.

506
00:25:58,523 --> 00:25:59,648
Are you ready for a swim?

507
00:26:00,481 --> 00:26:02,315
Got your bathing suit on under there?

508
00:26:02,398 --> 00:26:05,523
Oh, yeah. It's a bikini. You'll love it.

509
00:26:05,606 --> 00:26:07,648
I was kind of hoping for a skinny-dip.

510
00:26:08,023 --> 00:26:10,856
You know there's nothing skinny
about either of us.

511
00:26:12,106 --> 00:26:13,565
Should we go back?

512
00:26:13,648 --> 00:26:15,731
In a minute. It's almost sunset.

513
00:26:18,315 --> 00:26:19,648
You and your pink sky.

514
00:26:36,523 --> 00:26:39,440
Then again, maybe there are
some things worth gambling on.

515
00:26:46,231 --> 00:26:47,981
Back inside, I had a thought.

516
00:26:48,565 --> 00:26:50,773
To hit the jackpot in the future,

517
00:26:50,856 --> 00:26:53,856
you might have to bet
on where you are in the present.

518
00:26:53,940 --> 00:26:56,565
Ladies and gentlemen,
place your bets.

519
00:26:57,731 --> 00:26:59,648
What happens after 36?

520
00:26:59,731 --> 00:27:02,190
I don't know.
I guess you fall off the table.

521
00:27:08,023 --> 00:27:10,565
All right, no more bets.
Here we go.

522
00:27:13,731 --> 00:27:14,731
Twenty-nine!

523
00:27:15,523 --> 00:27:16,648
The winner is…

524
00:27:17,690 --> 00:27:19,690
Number 29!

525
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:24,440
Well…

526
00:27:33,190 --> 00:27:36,148
I can't believe
you gambled all that money away.

527
00:27:36,231 --> 00:27:37,731
We could be in a limo right now.

528
00:27:37,815 --> 00:27:39,231
You told me to.

529
00:27:39,815 --> 00:27:41,606
I thought we were taking the jet.

530
00:27:42,898 --> 00:27:44,856
You couldn't have broken up
with him tomorrow?

531
00:27:44,940 --> 00:27:46,190
What, and lose my dignity?

532
00:27:48,815 --> 00:27:50,773
Don't let me have any more of these.

533
00:27:52,231 --> 00:27:53,856
Anyone up for playing Old Maid?

534
00:27:53,940 --> 00:27:55,106
Aren't we?

535
00:27:57,481 --> 00:27:58,940
- I'm in.
- I'm in.

536
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:00,440
Ooh, wait, wait, wait.

537
00:28:02,190 --> 00:28:04,190
- Oh, my God!
- No!

538
00:28:04,690 --> 00:28:05,856
- Excuse me.
- Hmm.

539
00:28:05,940 --> 00:28:08,106
- Would you mind taking our picture?
- Mmm-hmm.

540
00:28:08,190 --> 00:28:09,398
- Thank you.
- Yeah, this is a moment

541
00:28:09,523 --> 00:28:10,648
we're gonna want to remember.

542
00:28:15,065 --> 00:28:16,648
Turns out, it was.
