Jada Pinkett Smith: What about you, baby?

Will Smith: I wanna keep going with this hand, but I’m all outta cash, honey.

Jada Pinkett Smith: Tell you what, we can keep going, but here’s the deal — you lose, and you can’t make any more sequels to Bad Boys.

Will Smith: Oh, it’s like that, huh? Okay, but if I win, here’s what you gotta do.

Jada Pinkett Smith: Will, I know I’m an actor, but that’s ridiculous! But okay, I’ll take that bet, ’cause look what I got — full house, kings over queens. Beat that.

Will Smith: Straight flush, baby! Awww yeeeahhh! Get ready to growl, Miss Metal! Hahahahaha!

Abe Vigoda: Oh snap!
