28.

Stuart is taken aback briefly. FAITH Its a sixth sense. STUART Ive been married twice. The first we drifted apart, the second, I ordered a wife from Eastern Europe, I ended up returning her. FAITH I hope you kept your receipt. They awkwardly laugh. Oswalt can be seen hanging from the windows spying while pretending to clean. He is attacked by birds. STUART I just want to take it slow now. Not rush into anything. FAITH Totally. At least until these guys are still fertile. She points to her ovaries. STUART Wed make a great team you and I.

29. INT. BREAK ROOM - DAY Sanjay, Zinedine, and Kip are wearing their new overly gold and flashy uniforms. Alan walks in. ZINEDINE Im sorry, but Sanjays is better. He really brings the portrait to life. Quiet strokes, yet powerful lines. Like a Vermeer. Sanjay celebrates and puts a tally next to his name. He notices Alan. SANJAY Alan, we look like props from Goldfinger. ALAN Smith designed them. SANJAY We belong in a Russian oligarchs house serving caviar out of a diamond bowl, not in a casino. ALAN Im not happy either. KIP She gave me this whole binder of drinks I have to learn. ALAN Well, that is your job. KIP Beer, wine, and beer-wine cocktails. Thats what I can do. ALAN Were just going to have to get used to this if we want to keep our jobs. SANJAY I dont know if I can do that. What was wrong with how we did things? ALAN Stuart wants this place to be modernized.

30. KIP Thats dumb. No one likes modern things. Just ask any industry. ALAN Not sure thats true. The gala is going to start soon, so work your hardest and impress them. I want us to all be in this for the long haul. SANJAY Its just not the same. ZINEDINE Agreed. I came to work here because of the lax environment and carefree approach to physically handling guests. KIP And this was the only place that didnt run background checks. ALAN All of that is changing. They sulk. INT. BALLROOM - NIGHT The room is decorated glamorously. There are gambling tables and a bar set up. Smith is buzzing about ensuring everything is going well. Various PATRONS mill about schmoozing. Stuart addresses the crowd. STUART Welcome, welcome. I know this is an unusual place for most of you, but I want to welcome you to the next generation of this place. The brand new Four Spades Casino. Fireworks, music, and all that jazz. STUART Were bringing the fun and class back to this place. Please enjoy yourself, eat, drink, have fun!

31. The camera surveys the room showing the employees doing a lackluster job. Refusing their drinks from Kip because theyre wrong, leaving gambling tables because Sanjay is accosting them, and Zinedine intimidating people. Sylvia rushes towards Alan. SYLVIA This is not going well. Your staff is ruining this! ALAN Theyll be fine, its just a lot of change to throw at them. SYLVIA Well they better adapt or theyll find themselves without a job. ALAN Dont be so hasty. SYLVIA Hasty? This is your livelihood on the line. I suggest you be a little less passive and do something. ALAN People look like theyre enjoying themselves, everyones doing their job. He looks at Kip who is ignoring the patrons and chugging a bottle of a rum. ALAN Maybe they can be better. SYLVIA I think so and Stuarts pouring a lot of money into this dump. This night is vital to our future success. ALAN Everything will be fine. SYLVIA Without these peoples support, were not going anywhere. This place will be turned into an outlet mall if we dont start bringing in people.

32. She leaves in a huff. Alan surveys the room and sees the patrons not enjoying themselves. He remembers Oswalts words. ALAN (to himself) Maybe they dont understand your love. Alan heads to the stage and takes the mic. ALAN Excuse me everyone, excuse me. I just want to thank you all for coming, it means a lot to us. He makes eye contact with Sylvia who mimes slitting his throat. ALAN This casino has been a part of my life for a long time now. I have never been more passionate about something. This place was somewhere people could escape from their boring and stressful lives. Weve recently lost our way, but tonight marks the dawn of a new era. Sanjay and the other employees are all ears, inspired by his words. ALAN With the help of Stuart, we want to become a better casino. A place you can be proud to leave your children at home and come to. The communitys help and patronage is crucial to this process, and we need your support. Please, welcome us back into your families and we will welcome you into ours. The crowd and employees are inspired. Kip uses a womens shirt to wipe tears from his eyes. Alan winks towards Stuart and Sylvia. Faith gets on stage.

33. FAITH Wasnt that beautiful? Now for a lovely performance by yours truly. Please no recording devices or Ill be forced to physically harm you. She begins playing, the music continues in the background. STUART That was lovely Alan, truly inspiring. Just the leadership and impassioned begging we needed. SYLVIA I underestimated you. ALAN This casino isnt just a business to me, its my life. I will do anything to help it succeed. STUART Well I think its appropriate then to anoint you co-general manager with Sylvia. You two will make a great team. ALAN On one condition, my staff keeps their jobs. STUART We can do that. SYLVIA Why dont I manage the administrative stuff, you can handle your team and the day-to-day happenings. Deal. They shake hands. INTERVIEW - ALAN ALAN My grandfather once told me, dont put the cart before the horse because someone will steal the cart and youll have to resort to eating the horse. ALAN

34. That lesson has rung true throughout my life, but now more than ever. The casino has new life, I have to appreciate that and know sometimes Ill be driving the cart and other times itll be the horse. END OF ACT THREE
