A Lady Takes a Chance Page #3

here injun seen me comin'...

So he up with his tomahawk! Say, what's

the idea of giving me the brushoff?

Peg, sit down. I threw my bowie

knife right straight at him.

Duke, you old snakebite.

Sit down. Sit down!

More beer!

What's the matter?

What's the matter? What do you

think, what's the matter?

Well, I don't know what I

think what's the matter.

Well, then,

it just doesn't matter.

I take a girl places, it's kind of

unusual she don't have a good time.

I butted in.

Oh, you did not.

Well, to tell you

the truth, Mr. Hudkins,

this isn't what

I came out west for.

It's just that I've been sitting

on that bus for so long,

and you don't know how big

this country is...

Until you've got to cross it

in a sitting position.

Then, I don't know,

you came along,

and I just thought...

Maybe I'd have some fun.

Sorry you didn't.

I'm sorry too.

Would you like to have

another chance?

All right.

??

Oh, tension!

Oh, no, no, no.

Wait till he pays off.

Now...

Ones, dice!

Oh, little Joe, once!

Four! We win!

A four? Yeah. You see...

I'll explain later.

How much money we get?

We-we've got $283.

Are you sure?

Yes.

Here we go.

Coming out.

77 once, dice!

Come on, buddy. You're holding up the game.

What'll it be?

Shoot the bundle.

You mean all of it?

Sure.

A buck he's right.

You got it.

Hey.

What?

What's the matter?

You gonna start

betting against it?

Oh! Oh!

Changed my mind.

Hold it, fella.

You got troubles?

No. I just want to tell you

the house rules.

Like what? Like we've

got a $25 limit here.

Oh, since when?

Hold it, brother.

Pick up your money,

and let's play nice, huh?

All right.

Give me paper for this.

Why don't you let the lady roll?

Be a gentleman, hmm?

Molly, sure.

Go ahead. Roll 'em.

Uh, well, I'll try my best.

Yeah.

Shooting 15 only.

Yeah, well, how do you

know until you... Honest.

Shooting the five only.

Shooting a buck.

And she rolled snake eyes.

See?

Don't ever leave me, Molly.

Don't ever leave me.

You know, it really pays

to have a good time with you.

Oh, say, what time is it? Maybe I'd

better be getting back to my bus.

Oh, it's early yet. Shot of Irish.

Right. Two?

Uh, no.

I'll have, uh...

I'll have cactus milk, please.

Huh?

Cactus milk.

Did you ever see 'em

milk a cactus?

How's about it? How's about it?

How's about it?

How about what?

My rye-ginger ale.

You didn't order any. Wanna

make something out of it?

Oh, no, sir. Boy, you

look too tough for me.

How'd you like to step outside?

How are ya?

Never better.

Never better?

No.

Hey, you're pretty lucky.

Can't lose, eh?

Well... You ain't

foolin' me, big boy.

You're just lucky on account of

your little girl makes you lucky.
