I know, then I came to my senses.

You were gonna follow me, Jack.

Save it. I'll give you a lift. Get in the truck.

That reminds me of an old Chinese joke.

You don't trust me after all these years Jack? That makes me sad.

I'll follow you.

If need be.

Yeah, right. Over my dead body.

The airport.

You pay the money now. Where you gotta go?

Yeah I do. How about we meet in my restaurant in a few hours? I pay the money then.

No, you don't.

Jack, first I gotta go somewhere, Jack.

Well that's what I thought you meant. Now where's your truck parked?

Yeah, right. What I meant was, I don't got that kind of money on me.

You own a restaurant. That's a hell of a lot more than me.

I'm just a poor Chinese boy, you know?

I didn't hear that.

I don't have that kind of money Jack.

In the meantime, pay up: $1,148 times two.

Have me over for dinner some year and prove it.

It always works at home.

It's all in the reflexes.

You're outta your mind, Wang. God bless ya!

OK.

This bottle.

OK. But not that bottle.

1,148, Jack.

I got near a thousand bucks here, Wang.

I need the money.

Why, man? Don't be stupid.

Nothin' or double, Jack.

Bullshit.

Nothin' or double..

This knife cuts this bottle in half.

Nothin' or double.

Shit, Wang. It's only a game.

Because I thought what we were here, racial differences not withstanding, was just a couple old friends, both of us Californians.

Is this gonna get ugly now? I hope not.

Not next time. Now.

No!

Ah, sure. Easy come, easy go, Wang.

No.

Breaks my heart to do this Wang, but I figure the next time I'm down here, you'll gang up on poor old Jack so fast he won't know what the hell happened.

I'm not gonna complain, because I'll bet I'd have lost my shirt in the next 20 minutes.

What is this?

He quits? What is this? It's a brand-new day and the man's still got 100 bucks in his pocket.

Something about beginner's luck. It doesn't translate. But he quits.

You like that one? What did he say, Wang? In English?

Heaven and earth, boys. What can I tell ya?
