Alex Dimitrios: I'm having a hard time seeing how this is my fault. It's your plan. All I did was get you the man. Le Chiffre: A man who was under surveillance by the British Secret Service... which makes me wonder if I can trust you at all. Alex Dim...
Arthur: So, a totem. It's a small object, potentially heavy, something you can have on you all the time... Ariadne: What, like a coin? Arthur: No, it has to be more unique than that, like - this is a loaded die. [Ariadne reaches out to take the die] ...
