**Winnie**: Well, sure you can. You gonna stand there, or you give me a hug?
**Hondo**: Oh whoa, whoa, hot about we wait till you take a shower?
**Winnie**: How about no? No. Come here.
**Hondo**: I'm just... Oh, come on. Oh. Ooh ooh, okay. Okay, that's enough, that's enough. Now girl, you know better. You can be out there jogging in earbuds. Somebody could come up behind you. What if I was a really a mugger?
**Winnie**: Then I would've whupped your ass.
**Hondo**: (Sigh) You mean drown me inside me in your sweat maybe.
**Winnie**: It's Vegas. It's the desert. And this body is not gonna stay in shape by itself anymore.
**Hondo**: Yeah, I see.
**Winnie**: Why didn't you let me know you were coming? I would've get the spare room ready.
**Hondo**: I left you a couple of messages. You never hit me back.
**Winnie**: You know, between my... my work schedule at the casino and your saving the world, I didn't known when we'd both be awake to talk.
**Winnie**: You're not here to lose money on blackjack or for brother/sister hang time, are you?
**Hondo**: Wish I was.
**Winnie**: Look, if this is about your Dad, I don't want to hear it.
**Hondo**: Winnie, it is about Dad.
**Winnie**: No.
**Hondo**: He really needs to see you.
**Winnie**: No.
**Hondo**: He's about to have surgery, Winnie.
**Winnie**: For what?
**Hondo**: Cancer. Now, they still got to do a biopsy to see how bad it is, but Pops has cancer.
**Winnie**: Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
**Winnie**: I am, but... but he's got another daughter. With a different mother, who he poured all his love into. She can do the hand holding now.
**Hondo**: He's got regrets. Enough regrets that he doesn't think he deserves to beat this thing.
**Winnie**: We'll, maybe he doesn't.
**Hondo**: Come on, Winnie, just hear me out. Please. Look, the man is stubborn. We know where you got it from, at least. Look, I'm not here to cause any grief. And you ain't got no obligations. But he's scared. He's really scared. He only agreed to the biopsy if I was able to bring the family back together.
**Winnie**: See, that's not fair, Hondo. You and I made a pact, remember? When he abandoned us. Yes, abandoned us and Mom to start some new family. You and I swore we were never gonna talk to him again.
**Hondo**: That was a long time ago. We were kids.
**Winnie**: Well, I kept my promises for 30 years. Why should I break it now?
**Hondo**: Because this might be your only chance to get all this off your chest to him. And because I'm not asking to forgive him, just see him.
**Hondo**: And because I am here asking you to.
**Winnie**: I got to go to work tomorrow.
**Hondo**: The casino would shut down if you called in sick for just couple of days?

**J. Street**: Hey, uh, think I should cancel on Molly tonight?
**Luca**: What do you mean, your date?
**J. Street**: It's not a date
**Luca**: Come on, dude. This is Dominic Luca you're talking to here. You telling me you're not interested? Give me the real, bro.
**J. Street**: Look she's smart, she's gorgeous, she's a really great person, but dating Commander Hicks' daughter? I've have some pretty big screwups here, but that would be...
**Luca**: Look, look, look, it's not the dating part you need to worry about, lover boy. It's the breaking up part. My cousin Amy dated a cop once. Right? Regular patrol officer. When the guy broke her heart, my dad made sure that he never made detective. I'm just saying.
