"To take something for granted" is to not appreciate things that other people have to work hard for (like money). Just play your cards close to the vest; That’s my advice. This is a way of telling a person to be careful and not to reveal too much to other people (A poker play will hold his cards close to his vest or shirt so that others can’t see them). Hey, we’re the big men on campus. This is Dillon’s way of saying they are the most important or popular guys at the school. Scranton, P.A.
