The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAfter the auction, Kevin returns to Howard's jewelry store with $165,000 in cash, expecting to collect the opal and leave. Instead, Howard turns a tense argument over price into an impassioned pep talk about Kevin's playoff game that night. He compares their stubborn confidence, then proposes betting every dollar on Kevin. The scene matters because business, fandom, and desperation blur together, revealing how Howard sells belief as fiercely as he sells jewelry.
