Madeleine:
And roulette?
Max:
It's death. Time standing still. Chance! G-d the Father in a little ball. The only place where he exists, beard and all.
Madeleine:
Do you win?
Max:
No, I lose. Everyone goes to the casino to lose. They don't know it, but it's their deepest motivation, the desire to be a loser. The casinos, they know it. True happiness is losing all.
Madeleine:
Usually disillusion like yours comes around forty-five, when hopes haven't been fulfilled. Men want history to go as fast as life. It doesn't work that way. I first thought you were an activist.
Max:
As you see, I'm not. Not anymore.
