Jada Pinkett Smith: What about you, baby?

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

Will Smith: Oh, it’s like that, huh? Okay, but if I win, here’s what you gotta do. Ha-ha, check this out — you gotta form a heavy metal band, a real heavy metal band, and be the singer, and go do that Ozzfest next summer, and then after that make a record and go out on a national tour, just like I used to do.

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

Abe Vigoda: Oh snap!
