Of course, Gage refuses to accept defeat and won't let a small thing like a wedding ring, vows, or basic human decency get in his way by adhering to his strict belief that- since the world has never proven this cynical belief wrong before- every single thing on this planet and especially its inhabitants are for sale. Making a predictably cocky and grand gesture to try and buy her the dress (a la Pretty Woman or Shopgirl), Diana sees through the gesture immediately, confidently noting that yes- although the dress is for sale- the woman in the dress would never be. For unlike the dress- he wasn't able to manage to discover Diana's invisible price-tag with a tired form of gold card seduction. And although it's hard to blame his interest in Moore's natural loveliness when she slips the hanger of a gorgeous dress over her head to explore the difference from her blue collar attire in the mirror, Gage seems especially hooked because of the events that follow. You see, after Diana caught Gage's eye in Las Vegas while stuffing chocolates in her knapsack in a couture boutique in the hotel lobby, Gage became instantly smitten. Of course, instead of betting them a corner pocket shot on the billiard table- Gage decides to use money as the pool cue to fire a ball straight at the heart of their very relationship. In doing so, he shifts his attention from shooting pool to his real joy of playing with people instead by offering the financially desperate yet desperately in love couple Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson's Diana and David Murphy a million dollar opportunity. In a conversation that one initially assumes is hypothetical- like one of those casual "what would you take on a desert island" or "if you had to sleep with person a or b who would it be," games people play, Gage turns serious.
