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.
