Even with this trick, I can't win.
Berenice Sadie Brown:
Well, just where is the cards? Three days, I ain't had a decent hand. Getting to suspicion something, too. Come on, let's count these old cards.
Frances 'Frankie' Addams:

[they turn all the cards face-up]
Frances 'Frankie' Addams:
Why, the jacks and the queens are missing.
[John Henry sinks in his chair]
Berenice Sadie Brown:

John Henry:
'Cause I wanted 'em. They're cute.
