Princess Zolita:
The leaves are ready to speak.
Cully:
No lemon?
Gypsy:
The tea leaves have spoken.
Princess Zolita:
If you do not mind, I work alone!
Cully:
What do they spell, Mother?
Princess Zolita:
How lucky you are, the wheel of fortune has stopped at your number.
Johnny:
A wheel? That's roulette.
Princess Zolita:
And I see a dice table, too.
Cully:
No blackjack? This boy plays all games.
Princess Zolita:
And a new woman is coming into your life. A beautiful, young redhead.
Johnny:
It can't be a redhead, Princess. My girl's a blonde. Take another look.
Princess Zolita:
Now I see a blonde. Oh, but she has been bad luck for you. The tea leaves say... you will have good luck with the redhead.
Cully:
I know better, I married one. Take the advice of a 20-year loser, no redheads.
Princess Zolita:
He must not defy the tea leaves.
Cully:
How are you going to explain her to Frankie?
Johnny:
Why explain? We'll just use her to make a bundle.
Cully:
You're going to pass off a beautiful redhead as a good-luck piece? Good luck.
Gypsy:
If, uh, if I may be so crude.
Johnny:
Oh, sure.
[Johnny hands a $10 bill to the princess]
Gypsy:
If you please. The princess never soils her royal hands with money. $10? When the tea leaves promise a beautiful redhead, it is $20.
Cully:
A lot of money for a cup of tea. That's a gypsy for you. Takes all your dough so you can't take her advice.
Princess Zolita:
Minor problems like that I cannot solve.
Cully:
Maybe you can get another advance from Braden.
Johnny:
Not a chance. I'm already in for five weeks' salary.
Cully:
That you lost right back into his pocket. Braden's got a nice little thing going there.
