Episode Notes

Episode Quotes
Cinnamon: (as Willy dons a miniature computer concealed in a jacket) Well, it looks like he has a few extra muscles, if that's possible.

Prince Iben Kostas: I admire your choice of game, madame.
Cinnamon: It's baccarat, isn't it?
Prince Iben Kostas: Um-hmm.
Cinnamon: I've never played it, I just thought the most interesting people were at this table.
Prince Iben Kostas: If it were not true before, it certainly is now.

Prince Iben Kostas: Beauty, my dear. It is the one temptation I can never resist.
Cinnamon: So I've heard, Your Highness. Your exploits with women are legend.
Prince Iben Kostas: It is because I have never met a beautiful woman that I did not want to know better.

Andre Malif: May I join you?
Cinnamon: Oh, not now, darling, we're telling secrets. Why don't you go back to the bar?
Andre Malif: Well, I don't know anyone at the bar.
Cinnamon: Then go upstairs and take a nap. Mommy will be up to tuck you in later.

Rollin: And don't forget, when you start winning big, they'll try to stop you. So win as much as you can as fast as you can.
Andre Malif: I understand. Wish us luck.
Rollin: I wish us skill.

Prince Iben Kostas: That is impossible.
Rollin: Your Highness, in baccarat, nothing is impossible.

Prince Iben Kostas: I think you're a dangerous woman.
Cinnamon: All women are dangerous, Your Highness.

Andre: What’s new?
Rollin: His Highness is pretty upset at losing all that money.
Andre: He’ll feel worse tomorrow when he learns nobody will play in a crooked casino.
Cinnamon: He’ll have to learn that money won’t buy happiness
Rollin: Sometimes it won’t even buy guns.
