Summary[]
Jack and Larry are going to the track. Chrissy gives them money to bet on the Daily Double. She picks horses for outrageous reasons, but they just happen to win both races. She wins $1,637.00. She insists that they split it between them and they open a joint bank account. Janet spends seventy-five dollars on a bottle of wine. When Chrissy brings home a two-hundred-dollar stuffed giraffe they argue and stop talking to each other. Larry suggests they visit the psychologist Jack saw to build his self-confidence, Dr. Mark Prescott. They do some role-playing and finally attack a pillow, which was representing the money. They vow not to let money come between their friendship.
