MAVERICK:
(chatting idly away)
See, you're a gunfighter and I'm
not, I like to play cards, so the
fact is, if I'd faced you down,
Answer? Zero.
MAVERICK:
suddenly he draws --and it's lightning --you never saw
anyone so fast.
THE KID:
Stunned.
MAVERICK:
His voice casual.
MAVERICK:
No chance whatsoever.
And now he expertly twirls his gun back into its
holster.
ANNABELLE:
Leaning toward The Kid.
ANNABELLE:
Was that fast?
(as The Kid manages
a nod)
I thought it was fast.
MAVERICK:
sitting back down at the table again. This has all gone
quickly and quietly. Now he looks at The Kid.
MAVERICK:
May I suggest that from now on
you keep your mind on the game?
THE KID:
Yes. Yessir.
MAVERICK:
My deal? *

(4) 14BTHE ANGEL:
Not remotely afraid of Maverick.
THE ANGEL:
You say you like to play cards?
MAVERICK:
Passionately.
THE ANGEL:
How come, when you lose all the
time?
MAVERICK:
Oh, I don't lose all the time -just
the first hour or so. I like
for people to be happy.
THE ANGEL:
MAVERICK:
Probably I'll win all your money.
THE ANGEL:
Aren't you a little overconfident?
MAVERICK:
No. I've just been here before.
And again, we see a SERIES OF VERY QUICK CUTS.
In fact, we see many of the same cuts we saw before -only
this time, Maverick doesn't lose, he wins.
The Kid holds his cards tightly. Too tightly. He makes
a bet. Maverick doubles it. The Kid folds. He was
bluffing.
The Cattleman casually makes a bet. Very casually.
Maverick doubles it. Another bluff. Maverick wins again.
Annabelle is suddenly helpless, giggling.
Maverick folds. The others bet. Annabelle wins --she
wasn't bluffing.
The Angel is guarding his cards with both huge hands. He
makes a big bet. Maverick makes a bigger one. The Angel
folds. Angrily. He was bluffing.

14B CONTINUED:
(5) 14BThe Businessman is playing with his tie. He bets.
Maverick makes a big raise. The Businessman calls. They
both have good hands. But Maverick's is better.
The Angel is bored, makes a bet looking at neither the
other players nor the pot. Maverick makes a big bet. The
Angel throws his cards down, his anger building as he was
caught in another bluff.
CLOCK:
Time is passing.
POKER GAME:
Maverick has cleaned out everybody but The Angel.
The Angel hesitates, moving the top card to the bottom,
does it again, moves the top card to the bottom ---
now he makes a bet.
Now Maverick makes a bet. A huge bet.
THE ANGEL:
scowling, staring.
MAVERICK:
Nothing shows on his face. He just waits. Then -THE
ANGEL:
He wants to bet but you can tell it in his eyes --he's
