[Figuring out which con to pull on Lonnegan] J.J. Singleton:
I dunno know what to do with this guy, Henry. He's an Irishman who doesn't drink, doesn't smoke, and doesn't chase dames. He's a grand knight in the Knights of Columbus, and he only goes out to play faro. Sometimes plays 15 or 20 hours at a time, just him against the house. Henry Gondorff:
Roulette? Craps? J.J. Singleton:
He won't touch 'em. The croupier at Gilman's says he never plays anything he can't win. Henry Gondorff:
Sports? J.J. Singleton:
Likes to be seen with fighters Sometimes, but he doesn't go to the fights or bet on 'em. Henry Gondorff:
Jesus. Does he do anything where he's not alone? J.J. Singleton:
Just poker. And he cheats. Pretty good at it, too
