Quotes
Carlos: [in a Las Vegas cocktail lounge, proposing the stakes of a bet] Well, I'm thinking of some small thing that you could afford to give away, and if you lose, why, you won't have to feel so bad - such as the little finger on your left hand.
Gambler: My what?
Carlos: Is that so strange? He wins - he takes the car. I win - I take his finger. Is that so strange?
