• Nick Prenta : [intercepting and examining the check she's offered for her gambling losses]  Your check's no good, Mrs. Forbes.

  Ethel Whitehead : [coldly]  My check's good anywhere.

  Nick Prenta : [tearing up the check]  Except here.

  Ethel Whitehead : [looks annoyed] 

  Nick Prenta : That's right. I'm fresh. But I'm also generous. Tonight, you're the guest of the house. Now tomorrow night, that's different. Tomorrow night you can lose your shirt.

  [looks her over and bends closer] 

  Nick Prenta : I'll even pay to see that.
