Quotes:
Mike McDermott: I feel like Buckner walking back into Shea.
Professor Petrovsky: We can't run from who we are. Our destiny chooses us.
Teddy KGB: If you don't have my money then you are mine.
Teddy KGB: It hurts doesn't it? Your hopes dashed, your dreams down the toilet. And your fate is sitting right besides you.
Mike McDermott: Would you stop fucking around, for five goddamn minutes for once in your fucking life?::Worm: Whoa, Jesus, what happened? My old man just walked in.
Mike McDermott: You were lookin' for that third three, but you forgot that Professor Green folded on Fourth Street and now you're representing that you have it. The DA made his two pair, but he knows they're no good. Judge Kaplan was trying to squeeze out a diamond flush but he came up short and Mr. Eisen is futilely hoping that his queens are going to stand up. So like I said, the Dean's bet is $20.
[His girlfriend says they don't have time for sex now]::Mike McDermott: I'll be really quick. You won't feel a thing.
[first lines]::Mike McDermott: Listen, here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in your first half hour at the table, then you ARE the sucker.
[last lines]::Mike McDermott: First prize at the World Series of Poker is a million bucks. Does it have my name on it? I don't know. But, I'm gonna find out.
Mike McDermott: If you had it to do all over again, knowing what would happen, would you make the same choice?::Professor Petrovsky: What choice?
