Movie is good. Human desires are hard to fill.

  • [Jill tells Ben a little history as to how she learned to play Blackjack]

    Jill Taylor: Every night after dinner, my father and I would play. I knew basic strategy before I was, like, nine years old. If I won, he'd take me out for ice cream.

    Ben Campbell: And what if he won?

    Jill Taylor: [Jill smiles] He'd still take me out for ice cream.

    Ben Campbell: [Ben chuckles] Oh, yeah. Sure, yeah, he's your dad.

  • [Ben talks about how he learns to count cards]

    Ben Campbell: [narrating] Plus 16. Sweet 16. Every card had a value. A high card, minus one. A low card, plus one. The rest, zero. I was studying all day, every day. But it wasn't physics, chemistry and engineering. I was back to simple math, used in ways I could never have imagined. The team had a system. And to go unnoticed, we created a whole new language. Words were numbers, and numbers were words.
