Not everyone seems to be aware of where Charlene's signal originates from. Well, if you delve into her backstory, you'll discover that she's from Las Vegas and used to be a card dealer. Anyway, that particular signal is the universal gesture for "stand" in the game of blackjack, meaning you wouldn’t take another card. For instance, if you had a 20 against a dealer's 16, you would wave off the dealer instead of taking another card. In this moment, her gesture clearly means, "game over—don’t come any closer." Naturally, Charlene's signal makes all the sense in the world because Chris was a big time gambler.
But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away
