All right.
The game is no limit. Texas Holde.
Winner takes all.
You look great. Ah, thanks.
When do you start? Um, in a couple of weeks. I'm really excited. I'm so jealous you got in. I honestly can't even believe that I did. It took me 3 years to get off the wait list, but now I'm in this great dance conservatory.
So, well, don't forget about me when you're dancing all over the world. I could never.
>> Hello, Miss Myers. This is Thomas Ael at the Center Stage Dance Conservatory. It has come to our attention that your financial aid form was received after the deadline.
We just want to let you know that if you do not have the full tuition for the fall semester, we will have no choice but to remove you from this year's entrance.
We need the tuition fee for this semester no later than Friday the 9th.
Have a great day.
Heat. Heat.
I don't want to do that.
Yeah.
Hey, I just wanted to call you to let you know that I'm taking Lily to the circus this weekend and I'm going to have her back by Sunday night.
>> Bill, no. You know the arrangement. I supposed to have her this weekend.
Heat. Heat.
What'd you get?
>> Got a watch, a wallet, and some cash.
You >> two iPhones, a wallet, and a watch.
>> So, what's going on with the other job?
>> Still working the angles, but should only be a matter of time. All right.
Nice.
Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
I'm so sorry. That's not fair. How are you going to pay for tuition?
I don't know. I don't really have that much time to figure it out either.
>> Well, how much do you have?
>> Um, about a couple thousand, but that's what I need to pay for, you know, rent and class and food. So, >> can your parents help you out? My parents? They practically disowned me when they found out I wanted to be a dancer.
So, that's a no-go.
Hey, so I don't know if this is your kind of thing, but my ex-boyfriend used to play cards at this underground club downtown.
You only need like 5,000 to get in. And you think that if I win that'll be enough?
>> Are you any good at cards?
>> Yeah, I mean, I used to play every Sunday with my family growing up.
What are the details?
I'm in.
Two players left.
What do you want, Bill?
>> Have you found a job yet?
>> Oh my god. Why should it matter to you?
>> Because you have to have money to take care of our daughter when you have her.
>> Oh, and now you care. You [ __ ] your assistant. Move out and end our marriage. And now you care.
>> Calm down. Don't tell me to calm down.
>> Listen, I came here to be civil with you. But if you're not going to do your share, I'm going to do what I have to do to protect our daughter from you.
>> What are you talking about?
>> If you can't provide for Lily, I'm going for sole custody.
>> Are you [ __ ] kidding me? You cheat on me, end our marriage, move out, and now you're trying to take away my child from me. No, I'll get the money. Don't you [ __ ] worry about it.
>> How? What are you going to do? Rob a bank?
>> I have a little bit more class than that, Bill. [ __ ] off.
Stop.
Heat. Heat.
Okay, great. Thank you so much.
>> Who was it?
>> I'm dealing in the back room tonight.
You know the plan, right?
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat. Heat.
Heat.
Heat.
I'm doing this for my daughter.
I'm doing this for my dream.
I'm doing this because I can.
Heat up here.
