"I'm a guy like this," Gino explained to Jeanie; "I like anythin' against the odds. I don't like nothin' safe. I'm a guy like this too: I don't like gettin' caught. But mostly I'm a guy like this: I don't like gettin' laughed at." He lived as he drove, as he gambled and as he loved: for keeps. Taking no man's laughter. And letting the small stakes go.
