(Scene cuts to Nat playing blackjack with Tom, Fred and Frank) Tom: "I have 17." Frank: "I have 19." Fred: "I have 20." Nat: "I have 21! I win!" Nat grabs the pile of money in the middle of the table. Tom: "Again?" Frank: "Nancy's going to kill me when I tell her how much money I lost today." The guys laugh. (Scene cuts to Shubie walking into Nat's house) Shubie: "Hey ladies! Sorry I'm late, I just had to go to parent-teacher conferences at the school today." Shubie: "Yeah, I'm so sad that Nancy probably won't be able to come now. She was last in the line to meet with Mable." Shubie: "Is he sick?"
