He works in a banc and uses the money from some accounts for his gambling. His girl friend tries to help him, but she does not succeed. In the end the police catches Mahowny. Scene: gambling mixed adults table games Transgressive solitary 00:13:55-00:15:26 Mahowny is still in the same casino. A woman, who played on the same table as Mahowny, asks him for money, but he refuses. He continues to play himself and looses all his money. He puts on his glasses and seems to regret the whole thing. Here the audience will consider the behaviour for sure as addictive; the woman’s and also Mahowny’s. The woman tries to appear natural, but here attempt to make conversation is too artificially. Clip: 25
