And Maverick loses again, smiles again, just happy to
be there.
Annabelle is suddenly helpless, giggling, staring at
what she's been dealt.
The Angel is smiling happily. He rakes in a pot.
The businessman's fingers are tapping on the table.
The Kid's hand covers his mouth.
The Angel is bored, looking neither at the other players
or the pot.
Annabelle bets big and wins --maybe she's not such a
rotten poker player after all.
Maverick tosses in his cards. Another loss. He smiles,
glances at the clock on the wall --an hour and a half
have gone by.
14A
EXT. CRYSTAL RIVER -TWILIGHT 14A
It is getting dark. Fewer people move about. A lamplighter
is at work; carriages pass with lanterns lit.
14B INT. CRYSTAL PALACE -TWILIGHT 14B
The table. Maverick and the kid are the last two in the
game. The kid turns his cards over.

10.
14B CONTINUED:
14BTwo pair, aces over queens. Maverick has three sixes.
He looks at his winning hand almost in surprise. It's a
good sized pot he's won. As he reaches for it.
THE KID:
(mumbling something)
Don't think...
The rest is unintelligible.
MAVERICK:
Didn't get you.
THE KID:
I said I don't think that hand
should count.
MAVERICK:
You got any logical reasons going
for you?
THE KID:
My mind wasn't on the game.
CLOSEUP -THE KID
He stares at Maverick and something is suddenly clear:
His eyes are deadly.
MAVERICK:
Hesitating now.
MAVERICK:
What's your name, son?
THE KID:
Johnny Hardin.
MAVERICK:
And what do you do for a living?
THE KID:
Oh, mostly I kill people. I'm a
gunfighter.
MAVERICK:
Since you're still alive, I have
to assume you're good at it.
THE KID:
Care to find out?

14B CONTINUED:
(2) 14BMAVERICK:
(a beat --then)
This hand definitely does not
count.
(indicating chips)
Take whatever you think's yours,
I'll be content with the leavings.
As The Kid does -
ANNABELLE:
A quick look of disappointment crosses her face.
THE ANGEL:
A look of contempt crosses his.
THE ANGEL:
You always been gutless?
MAVERICK:
(thinks a minute -
then nods)
I think so. At least for as long
as I can remember. My pappy
always said, 'He who fights and
runs away, can run away another
day.'
(now he stands -like
every other
man in the room, he
wears a six gun)
Here's the truth --I don't see
what's so great about being brave.
Pulls back his black jacket, clearing his gun.
KID:
Watching. His hand begins to move to his gun.
ANNABELLE:
This is not a nice place.
