  • [Shooter's wife Melba is altering a jigsaw puzzle piece with a nail file]
  • Shooter: Melba, why do you do that?
  • Melba: So it'll fit, stupid.
  • Shooter: No, I'm not talking about that. What I'm asking is... do you, uh, have to cheat at everything?
  • Melba: At everything?
  • Shooter: Yes. At... solitaire. I've yet to see you play one game of solitaire without cheating.
  • Melba: So what?
  • Shooter: Look, you're just cheating yourself, don't you understand? You'll be the loser, no one else but yourself!... You've ruined the puzzle, now, that doesn't go in there.
  • [She forces the altered piece into place]
  • Melba: Does now.
  • Melba: Why don't you make us a drink. You know where it is. All that dust at the pit. I always feel so dirty after one of those things.
  • Cincinnati Kid: Brings out the best in you, Melba.
  • Pig: Can't live with them and can't live without them, huh, Kid?
  • Cincinnati Kid: Yeah, that's right, Pig.
  • Pig: Don't lose no sweat, Kid. Mine left me too.
  • Melba: I wonder why.
  • Christian: Well, you and the Shooter are married. Now, that's somethin'.
  • Melba: It's nothin'. Believe you me, honey, it's nothin'.
  • Melba: I keep forgettin'. You like to steam, don't you, Shooter?
  • Christian: You'll never guess where we've just been.
  • Cincinnati Kid: Stag movies?
  • Christian: We went to Turkish baths and we had rubdowns and everything!
  • Melba: Yeah. You should have been there.
  • Christian: Yeah!
  • Melba: He's got him! He's got him! Looks like you're gonna owe us some money, fat boy!
  • Pig: Don't spend it, baby. Don't spend it!
  • Melba: [phone rings] Why should I answer? You only get steamed if it's for me.
  • Melba: [Cincinatti Kid slaps her butt] Ouch. You Bastard!
  • Cincinnati Kid: Cheers baby.
  • Melba: I hope you lose.
  • Christian: [looking at a swim suit window display] Would you really wear a thing like that?
  • Melba: Why not? I got nothin' to hide. Hey, I bet you'd look good in one too.
  • Christian: Oh, no, I couldn't. I just couldn't wear that!
  • Melba: You ever been to the - Turkish bath?
  • Christian: Turkish baths? French movies? I don't know about you, Melba.
  • Melba: Well, then, come on and find out. The Turkish bath leaves *nothin'* to the imagination.
  • Christian: But I wouldn't know what to do in a Turkish bath.
  • Melba: But that's what's so marvelous. You don't do anything. They do it to ya. Come on!
  • Christian: They do it to ya?
