Michel (voiceover): "Well, that sucked. Since then,
I've sworn off of poker and made my living as a
roadside prostitute for boorish American tourists.
Hopefully, I can pay my way through law school that
way. I can always find games, though. I could turn
this truck onto the road and be at the Taj in 19 and a
half hours."

Michel (voiceover): "I'm here to pick my friend Worm
up from prison."
- Worm walks out of prison -
Michel: "Worm! It's wonderful to see you!"
- They kiss each other passionately on the mouth -
Michel: "How was prison?"
Worm: "I was brutally sodomized on a regular basis."

Michel: "Look...Croissant, I never told you this, but
about a year ago, I was playing poker at the Casino
des Atlantes, and Marcel Luske walks in. He sits down
at the 50/100 pot limit game. And, I mean, the whole
place stops, right? Just watching this guy play. After
a while there isn't a retarded European gambling game
going, because everybody's just, you know, watching
this guy."
- Joey Croissant nods -
Michel: "So you know what I did? I sat down."
Joey Croissant: "No way, you need at least 300,000
euros to sit down at a game like that. Such bad
financial management is typical of a boorish
American!"
- Joey Croissant and Michel laugh for twenty-six
minutes -
Michel: "Right, okay, but seriously, I played for an
hour, doing nothing but folding. Then I won a huge
pot."
Joey Croissant: "Aces? Kings? Ace-King doublesuited?
Suited aces? High connectors? Middle doublesuited
connectors? Two big pair?"
Michel: "Rags."
Joey Croissant: "That's probably fine too, you're only
like a 48/52 dog."
Michel: "I raised. And he came over the top of me,
like I was a boorish American. I re-popped it. He
potted it again. I think for like two seconds and then
I re-pot it."
Joey Croissant: "Jesus [censored] Christ, how much
money did you have?"
Michel: "After I bet I would quietly slide my chips
back toward my stack, nobody noticed. Anyway, he
thinks for a while, looks at me, checks his cards
again, and he mucks. I take it down. And then he looks
at me and says, 'I have to know. Did you have it?' And
I said, 'I'm sorry Marcel, I can't remember.'"
Joey Croissant: "Face!"
Michel: "I know, totally. Anyway, based on that one
hand, I felt confident gambling for all the money I
had, at one time."
-----
Law Professor: "I am a Jew."
Michel: "I hate you."
-----
Teddy CIA: "We play, heads up, Pot Limit Omaha, 25 and
50 blinds, until one of us has it all?"
Michel: "Out of sheer curiosity, you realize you're
giving up like boat loads of equity by agreeing to
gamble for money that's effectively yours anyway,
right? That you could just not let me play, and then
kill me and take what I have?"
Teddy CIA: "I know, but I am a boorish American!"
- Michel and Teddy CIA laugh for seventy-two minutes -
