This movie does not require much comment, just record the following Al’s speech.
There is something inherently defective in you
I never feel better, or more alive, than when they're raking the chips away
even when we win , it's just a matter of time before we give it all back
we fuck shit up all the time on purpose, because we constantly need to remind us we are still alive
gambling is not your problem, it's this fucked up need to feel something, to convince yourself you exist
that's the problem

Two for the Money quotes

  • Chuck: [On the TV show] How many gamblers did I bail out last weekend with my game of the year? A hundred dollar better made ten thousand dollars a five hundred dollar better made fifty thousand dollars I got six games on Sunday I'm releasing absolutely free these games are a burial, a blowout, a human lock, you can bet your children's unborn children on these six games ABSOLUTELY FREE!

  • Walter Abrams: [to Toni, referring to Brandon on his first day as one of the new hosts for Walter's sports advisement shows] Go back to sleep I'm not here, what a show you should've seen him. I just sat there and watched him roll, I swear he made me want to pick up the phone and call him I took all the sales boys out to get them prime for the weekend and Chuck got so drunk he took a swing at one of the deer heads on the wall. I'm going to have to hire more guys on Monday I've got to get more phones, everything is getting "amped" up, this guy I'm going to do this whole dot com thing around him. When I was his age I never had a mentor and now I got a protégé someone you hand it all down to, anything happens to me he steps in just knowing that gives me a sigh of relief, it's like having a son
