Pinochle


Sefton told the "Geneva Man" that they "were playing pinochle - it's a rough game". I can't find any reference to pinochle being a rough game when I Googled it. Any one know what he was talking about?

He was being sarcastic, peanut.

It's me, Gloria, I left my driver's licence on the table, next to the fruit!

It's like when someone gets beaten up and they say they got their black eye by walking into a door.
They don't want the truth to come out.
The Geneva man doesn't want to start asking questions about it, either.

Bean-bag... ah, it's very good. Becomes very exciting at times. I saw the championship played in Paris; many people were killed.
