The first major event is in a play for fun (no money) card game in which the Swede accuses Johnny of cheating. Johnny skillfully defends himself by saying he won't put up with the accusation, while side stepping the truth of the matter.

"It's more than just a game," they tell the mother. "It's so much more. What you need is to come to a game and experience it."
