THIS IS ONE FANCY RIG

OLD BEN TROPP

DON'T HE GIVE A DAMN
WHAT PEOPLE THINK,

THE COUNTRY IN A HEARSE?

IF YOU'RE THE RICHEST
UNDERTAKER IN TEXAS,

YOU'RE ENTITLED
TO A FANCY RIG,

BUT IF YOU SPEND
YOUR DAYS AND NIGHTS

TRYING TO KEEP
PEOPLE ALIVE,

YOU RIDE AROUND
IN THE LIKES OF THIS.

GIDDYUP.

[LAUGHING]

HEY, SAM.

WHO'S WINNING?

STILL AHEAD?

TELL US THAT MUCH.

SAY SOMETHING.

COME ON.
TELL US SOMETHING.

WELL, DON'T YOU KNOW
SOMETHING ABOUT--

MEREDITH.

IT'S ALL RIGHT,
MARY.

MEREDITH, YOU KNOW YOU'RE
NOT SUPPOSED TO CARRY...

SIGN OUTSIDE SAYS "HOTEL."

I ASSUME THAT MEANS YOU HAVE
ACCOMMODATIONS FOR TRANSIENTS.

YOU ASKING
WE GOT ROOMS?

ONE ROOM
FOR THE THREE OF US.

THIS IS A CATTLEMAN'S
HOTEL, MISTER,

NOT A FAMILY TYPE.

THE ROOMS WE GOT
AIN'T EXACTLY FITTING

FOR WOMEN
AND CHILDREN.

ANY KIND OF
INSIDE ACCOMMODATIONS

LOOK GOOD TO US
RIGHT NOW.

WE'VE BEEN
ON THE ROAD FOR DAYS.

WE'RE VERY TIRED.

WELL, TOP OF THE STAIRS,
NUMBER SEVEN.

THAT'S THE ONLY ROOM
WITH TWO BEDS IN IT.

BOY CAN SLEEP
IN THE WOOD BOX,

UNLESS YOU CARE FOR TWO
ROOMS FOR AN EXTRA DOLLAR.

ANOTHER DOLLAR?

I LIKE TO SLEEP
IN THE WOOD BOX,

DON'T I, MOM?

ONE ROOM WILL BE FINE.

HOW LONG
YOU FIXING TO STAY?

OVERNIGHT. WE BROKE
TWO SPOKES ON OUR WAGON.

WE INTEND

THE BIGGEST, MISTER.
THE BIGGEST.

IN THIS TOWN?

YES, SIR,
IN THIS TOWN.

YOU JUST TRY TO FIND
A BIGGER GAME

BETWEEN HERE
AND THE MISSISSIPPI.

HOW BIG IS THAT?

MISTER, THE FIVE RICHEST
MEN IN THE TERRITORY

ARE IN THAT BACK ROOM
PLAYING FOR BLOOD.

HOW OFTEN
DOES THIS GO ON?

ONCE A YEAR.

12 MONTHS THEY'VE BEEN
SAVING UP THEIR BLOOD.

MEREDITH,
LET'S GO UPSTAIRS.

WE'RE ALL VERY TIRED.

IN A MINUTE, MARY.

NOW, MEREDITH.

I WAS ONLY GOING
TO ASK THE GENTLEMAN--

I KNOW WHAT YOU WERE
GOING TO ASK HIM.

WHAT'S WRONG
WITH ASKING HIM?

YOU KNOW WHAT.
WE HAVE THINGS TO DO.

WHAT'S THE BIG RUSH?

GOT TO TAKE THAT WAGON DOWN
TO THE SMITH.

WE GOT TIME FOR THAT.

WE ALL GOT
TO GET WASHED UP.

WE GOT ALL THE TIME
IN THE WORLD.

WE'RE GOING
TO BE HERE OVERNIGHT.

NOW, MARY.

NOW, MEREDITH.

[LAUGHTER]

WHO'S WINNING,
MR. HABERSHAW?

MR. HABERSHAW?

WHAT'S YOUR PLEASURE,
MR. HABERSHAW?

WHO'S WINNING,
MR. HABERSHAW?

LITTLE MORE
OF THAT DOG HAIR, SAM.

YOU QUITTING THE GAME,
MR. HABERSHAW?

JUST STRETCHING MY LEGS.

WE HEAR DRUMMOND'S
WAY AHEAD IN THERE.

HE'S AHEAD.

HE AIN'T WAY AHEAD.

GAME'S GOT A WAY
TO GO YET, HUH?

THAT'S RIGHT.

EXCUSE ME.

YOU SAID THE BLACKSMITH
WAS DOWN THE STREET.

YOU DIDN'T SAY WHICH WAY.

DUE WEST TO THE END OF
THE STREET, TURN RIGHT.

THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

SIR.

YOUR HEALTH, SIR.

AND TO THE QUEEN
AND TO THE JACK.

THANK YOU, SIR.

AM I CORRECT, SIR,
IN ASSUMING

YOU'RE ONE OF THE PLAYERS
IN THE GAME BACK THERE?

THE ASSUMPTION
IS CORRECT, SIR.

IS IT A PRIVATE GAME, SIR?

I MEAN TO SAY, SIR,
WOULD YOU PERMIT

A PASSING STRANGER
TO WATCH FOR A LITTLE WHILE?

MEREDITH.

I SAID WATCH.

NOBODY WHO AIN'T IN THE
GAME GETS IN THAT ROOM.

HUH, MR. HABERSHAW?

MEREDITH.

JACKIE?

COME HERE.

OH, JACKIE.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT?

EWW.

MEREDITH, WE'VE GOT
TO GET THAT WAGON

TO THE BLACKSMITH.

WE'VE GOT
TO LEAVE TOWN TOMORROW,

AND THERE'S A LOT
OF WORK TO BE DONE

ON THAT WHEEL.

ALL I ASKED THE GENT

WAS TO BE
ALLOWED TO--

MARY, PLEASE.

ALL I WANTED TO DO
WAS WATCH.

GOOD LORD.
YOU DON'T WANT

TO DEPRIVE ME
OF THAT, TOO?

I CAN'T GET INTO
TROUBLE WATCHING.

I NEVER SAID YOU--

PLEASE LISTEN.

YOU AND JACKIE DRIVE THE
WAGON DOWN TO THE SMITH'S.

LET ME WATCH THE GAME
UNTIL YOU GET BACK.

YOU KNOW VERY WELL
YOU WON'T JUST--

IT'S FATE, MARY.
DON'T YOU SEE THAT?

CHANCING ON A GAME
OF CARDS

IN THE MIDDLE
OF NOWHERE.

THE GOOD LORD

GIVE ME
THIS ONE LAST CHANCE

TO WATCH
A GAME OF CARDS.

THERE WON'T BE ANY
CARDS ON THE FARM.

I'VE GIVEN MY WORD.

GIVE ME THIS ONE
LAST CONCESSION.

I WON'T BE BREAKING
MY WORD JUST WATCHING.

THE GENTLEMAN SAID THEY
DON'T ALLOW ANY SPECTATORS.

IS THAT A HARD
AND FAST RULE, SIR?

IF I SAY YOU CAN WATCH,
YOU CAN WATCH.

BUT IF THE LADY OBJECTS,
I WOULDN'T THINK IT.

THERE.
IT'S UP TO YOU.

MARY.

THE BLACKSMITH
MAY BE A LONG TIME.

I DON'T WANT TO--

GIVE ME 15 MINUTES.

THEN I'LL JOIN YOU
AT THE BLACKSMITH'S.

I CROSS MY HEART.

MARY.

OH, MEREDITH.

JACKIE, YOU STAY
RIGHT HERE WITH PAPA.

STAY WITH HIM
EVERY SECOND I'M GONE.

DON'T YOU LET HIM
OUT OF YOUR SIGHT.

OH, NO, MARY.

G-YUP.

IS IT ALL RIGHT IF...

CAN WE COME IN, TOO?

I'M IN.

HEY, WHO'S THIS?

FRIENDS OF MINE.

FRIENDS OF YOURS?!

WHAT THE HELL
ARE THEY DOING HERE?

I SAID
THEY COULD WATCH.

OTTO, YOU KNOW

AIN'T NOBODY--

I SAID
THEY COULD WATCH.

CUT.

FIVE-CARD DRAW.
ANTE 25.

THE POKER WAGON, MISTER?

MISTER?

WHAT?

YES, YOU MIGHT
PUT IT THAT WAY.

LITTLE WOMAN
MAKE YOU GIVE IT UP?

WE TALKED IT OVER,
BUT IT WAS MY DECISION.

YOU OPEN, OTTO.

$25.

I'D LIKE TO SEE
MY WIFE ASK ME TO QUIT.

OH, I DIDN'T SAY
MY WIFE--

CAN'T YOU SEE LITTLE
OLD GENEVIEVE ASKING ME

TO RESTRAIN MYSELF

FROM A NICE, FRIENDLY
LITTLE GAME OF CARDS?

25, AND 50 MORE.

[HABERSHAW]
HOW LONG SINCE YOU'VE SEEN

THAT WIFE
OF YOURS, BENNY?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

TWO, MAYBE THREE MONTHS.

YOU DON'T
PAY MUCH ATTENTION

TO LITTLE OLD
GENEVIEVE, DO YOU?

YOU'RE DURN TOOTIN'.
HA HA HA.

WHY SHOULD HE?

ANY MAN GETS HIMSELF MARRIED
IS AUTOMATICALLY STUPID.

DENNY'S JUST
REFUSING TO STAY STUPID.

HE JUST DON'T
EVER SEE HIS WIFE.

WORDS OF WISDOM FROM
THE CONFIRMED BACHELOR.

CONFIRMED AND RECONFIRMED.

I HATE WOMEN.

I BELIEVE YOU. YOU
BURIED ENOUGH OF THEM.

A PLACE UP THERE.

PLAN TO DO
A LITTLE FARMING.

A BIG SPREAD,

JUST A NICE PIECE OF LAND
OUTSIDE SAN ANTONE.

HOW MUCH LAND?

40 ACRES.

40 ACRES?

WHAT YOU

ONE WHOLE YEAR I'VE

I'M TALKING ABOUT
THE STINKWEED CROP

IN SAN ANTONE, TEXAS!

LET'S PLAY CARDS.

I BET $100.

[SIGHS]

YOU KNOW WHAT
I GIVE UP TO PLAY

IN THIS GAME?

A MILLION DOLLARS.

MORE THAN THAT!

MORE THAN THAT TO ME,
MR. BIG-MOUTH LAWYER.

MY DAUGHTER CELIE
WAS GETTING MARRIED.

CELIE?

WHEN TROPP COME FOR ME,

SHE WAS IN THE MIDDLE
OF GETTING MARRIED,

AND THEY'RE HOLDING UP

THE "LOVE, HONOR,
AND OBEY" PART

TILL I GET BACK.

YOU WALKED OUT?

I AIN'T BEEN LATE
FOR THIS GAME

IN 16 YEARS.

I AIN'T STARTING NOW,
WEDDING OR NOT.

I SAID START LATE,

AND I MAY NOT BE
AROUND FOR THE FINISH.

THE GROOM GOT HELD UP
BY THE FLOOD.

THE WEDDING STARTED
TWO HOURS LATE.

"WHEN TROPP AND HABERSHAW
GET HERE," I SAID,

"I'M WALKING
OUT OF THIS HOUSE

WHETHER CELIE'S
HITCHED BY THEN OR NOT!"

[SIGHS]

THAT'S HOW MUCH
THIS GAME MEANS TO ME.

YOU MIND
IF WE INDULGE IN

WHAT I LEFT MY LITTLE GIRL
WAITING AT THE ALTAR FOR?

YOU MIND IF WE PLAY
A LITTLE CARDS?

I JUST RAISED $100.

I DON'T THINK THAT'S
A NICE THING TO DO

TO YOUR DAUGHTER.

LOOK WHO'S MEALY-MOUTHING ME
ABOUT BEING NICE.

MR. TIGHT-FIST, 30%
ON MY MONEY OR I FORECLOSE,

MR. JESSE BUFORD
HIMSELF IN THE FLESH.

DON'T GIVE ME NO SUNDAY-SCHOOL
LESSON ABOUT BEING NICE.

SIT UP HERE
AND PAY ATTENTION.

ARE YOU GOING TO CALL
OR AIN'T YOU?

I GOT 300 UNITED STATES
DOLLARS IN THAT POT

SAYS THAT I GOT A HAND.

THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY.

I FOLD.

[THROWS CARDS DOWN]

I GOT LOTS MORE!

I COME LOADED
FOR BEAR, NOT CHICKENS.

LET'S PLAY FOR MONEY.

YOU'RE THE ONE
THAT SAID IT.

AND 5.

BEAT THREE DEUCES.

FULL HOUSE BEATS IT,

I GUESS.

YOU'RE AN EXPERT
ON THE RULES, MR. WILCOX.

DON'T THE RULES SAY

A FULL HOUSE
BEATS THREE OF A KIND?

THAT'S WHAT
THEY SAY.

THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT.

AH, HORSESHOES.

OH, NO, HENRY,
I'M NOT LUCKY.

I'M JUST SKILLFUL.

YEAH.

PARDON ME.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

GIVE HIM HIS CHIPS.

AND I THANK YOU, SAM.

COME ON, SON.

I BET HIS WIFE WOULDN'T
GIVE HIM THE MONEY.

YOU PAID FOR IT.

IT'S TABLE STAKES.

I ASSUMED AS MUCH.

WESTERN RULES.

MEANING?

CAN'T TAP OUT IF YOU
AIN'T GOT ENOUGH TO BET.

JUST LEAVE
YOUR MONEY ON THE TABLE.

THAT'S A ROUGH GAME.

GAME WE PLAY.

GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

THEN IT'S YOUR DEAL,
MISTER.

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.

IT SURE FEELS GOOD.

HI, SON.

WANT TO WATCH

IN SAN ANTONE, TEXAS?

WILL IT
TAKE MUCH LONGER?

SORRY, MA'AM.

PAPA, WHEN ARE YOU
GOING TO STOP?

DON'T YOU GET TIRED
WATCHING PAPA? GO UPSTAIRS.

HEY, SONNY.

YOU AIN'T GOING TO LEARN
NOTHING WATCHING PAPA.

HA HA HA!
HA HA HA!

I CAN SEE NOW
WHY YOUR OLD LADY

MADE YOU
QUIT THIS GAME.

NOW DEAL.

ISN'T IT TIME
WE HAD A NEW DECK?

DEALER CAN CALL
FOR A NEW DECK ANYTIME.

[SIGHS]

PAPA--

WILL YOU
PLEASE BE QUIET?

IT'S A QUESTION
OF AVERAGES.

THE CARDS ARE DUE
TO BREAK FOR ME.

FAMOUS LAST WORDS.

PRETTY GOOD MITT

MISTER?

MISTER?

I DON'T THINK YOU'RE
PAYING STRICT ATTENTION.

I SAID IF YOU WANT

MEREDITH,
IN THE NAME OF HEAVEN.

I SAY WE AIN'T NEVER
ALLOWED WOMEN IN HERE!

SHUT UP!

SHE'S A WOMAN!

THAT'S SOLID GOLD. IT'S
WORTH MORE THAN A 100.

NO!

GIVE ME A MINUTE.

MARY, MARY, LISTEN.
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK.

WE GOT A CHANCE
TO EARN MORE MONEY

THAN YOU
EVER DREAMED OF.

MEREDITH, IS ALL OF
OUR MONEY ON THAT TABLE?

WITH THIS HAND,
I CAN'T LOSE.

YOU GOT TO TRUST ME.

THE WHOLE 4,000?

BUT I HAVEN'T
LOST IT, MARY.

I'M INVESTING IT.
I'M STILL IN THE GAME.

MARY, LISTEN TO ME.

I GOT A HAND THAT
COMES ONCE IN A LIFETIME.

ONCE IN A LIFETIME.

TRUST ME. YOU JUST
GOT TO TRUST ME.

TRUST YOU? TRUST YOU?

HOW MANY TIMES
HAVE I TRUSTED YOU?

HOW MANY TIMES

AND HOW MANY DAYS
AND HOW MANY YEARS

HAVE I TRUSTED
AND SAT AND WAITED

WHILE YOU
PLAYED WITH CARDS

THAT COULDN'T LOSE?

BUT YOU LOST UNTIL YOU
GOT SICK WITH LOSING,

AND YOU SWORE
BY ALL THAT WAS HOLY

YOU'D NEVER
PLAY CARDS AGAIN,

AND I TRUSTED YOU,
BUT LOOK AT US.

YOU'VE THROWN AWAY
EVERY CENT WE'VE SAVED.

ALL WE'VE GOT LEFT
IS THE TEAM AND WAGON.

I'LL WIN IF I COULD--

I GOT A $700 TEAM AND WAGON
I'LL SELL FOR $500.

DID YOU HEAR ME?

MEREDITH, WHATEVER
YOU DO, PLEASE DON'T--

I GOT THE TEAM
AND WAGON.

I GOT 11 WAGONS,
MAYBE 200-300 HORSES.

YOU NEED A TEAM
AND WAGON, BEN? JESSE?

DENNY?

OTTO?

I'LL TAKE A $200 LOSS

ON A BRAND-NEW
TEAM AND WAGON.

THAT'S A BARGAIN,

BUT A BARGAIN
AIN'T A BARGAIN

UNLESS IT'S
SOMETHING YOU NEED.

BUT IT'S BRAND-NEW!
WE BOUGHT IT--

MEREDITH!

MEREDITH!

SAM! SAM! TOBY!
PLEASE, SOMEBODY!

MIGHT NOT BE A GOOD
IDEA TO MOVE HIM.

GO GET DOC SCULLY.
GET HIM FAST.

GET HIM!

TOBY!

WHAT'S THE MATTER, PAPA?
WHAT'S THE MATTER?

RUN UPSTAIRS TO THE ROOM

AND GET THAT BOTTLE
OF PILLS. HURRY.

CAN SOMEONE GET HIM
A GLASS OF WATER?

RIGHT AWAY, MA'AM.

ALL RIGHT,
EVERYBODY, OUT.

EVERYBODY OUT.
COME ON, NOW.

GIVE THE MAN SOME AIR.

* ROSIE, YOU ARE MY POSY *

* YOU ARE
MY HEART'S BOUQUET *

* COME OUT HERE
IN THE MOONLIGHT *

* THERE'S SOMETHING SWEET,
LOVE, I WANT TO SAY *

[BANGING ON WINDOW]

HEY, DOC!
YOU IN, DOC?

* YOUR HONEY BOY
IS WAITING... *

[BANGING]

YOU IN THERE, DOC?

I'M COMING!

* ...TO GREET *

HEY, DOC!

I'M COMING!

HEY, DOC!

[BANGING]

WHY DON'T YOU
ANSWER THE DOOR?

* MY BLUSHING ROSIE *

HEY, DOC,
WE BEEN SENT FOR YOU!

* MY POSY SWEET... *

[BANGING]

HEY, DOC!

DOC, ANSWER ME!

WE WAS SENT FOR YOU!

IT'S AN EMERGENCY!
COME ON DOWN!

OPEN THE DOOR!

ARE YOU UP THERE,
DOC?

COME ON DOWN, DOC!

THE DOOR'S OPEN!

DOC, G-GET YOUR BAG.

DOC, IT'S AN EMERGENCY.
IT'S A REAL EMERGENCY.

A MAN'S DYING.
YOU GOT TO COME WITH US.

WAIT UP, NOW.
WAIT UP. WHO'S DYING?

THIS NEW FELLA
CAME INTO TOWN,

AND HE'S
PLAYING IN THE GAME,

AND HE'S ON THE FLOOR.

THEN THEY CALLED US IN,

TELL US TO COME GET YOU.

ALL RIGHT, CALM DOWN
NOW, CALM DOWN.

LET'S START
ALL OVER AGAIN.

WELL, DOC,
THERE'S THIS FELLA, SEE?

HE COME INTO TOWN
WITH HIS WIFE AND KID.

HERE, MAMA!

OH, PLEASE.

HOW MANY, MA'AM?

ONE. ONLY ONE.

DID SOMEONE
BRING THE WATER?

WATER BE DAMNED.

PARDON ME, MA'AM.

DRINK IT, MISTER.

GO ON, NOW, DRINK IT.

HE'S NOT ACCUSTOMED
TO LIQUOR.

BETTER IF HE WAS.

MARY. YOU...

OH, DARLING, WHAT
DO YOU WANT ME TO DO?

YOU...

THE DOC'S HERE.
HE'S HERE.

LET HIM IN.
IN HERE, DOC.

ALL RIGHT, MA'AM.

MA'AM, I NEED ROOM,
WILL YOU, PLEASE?

WHAT'S THIS?

IT'S THE HEART?

HOW MANY TIMES HAS THIS
HAPPENED BEFORE?

MADAM, I HAVEN'T GOT TIME
FOR BEDSIDE MANNERS.

NOW ANSWER MY QUESTIONS,
AND ANSWER THEM QUICK.

HOW MANY TIMES
HAS THIS HAPPENED BEFORE?

ONCE, ONLY ONCE.

[LABORED BREATHING]

HE AIN'T BREATHING SO GOOD,
IS HE, MA'AM?

LEND A HAND.

SAM! WHERE'S
THE NEAREST BED?

AND I DON'T MEAN
UPSTAIRS.

WE GOT NO BEDS
DOWNSTAIRS.

INTO THE KITCHEN.
CLEAR THE ROOM.

YEAH.

GENTLY, GENTLY,
YOU CLUMSY...

ALL RIGHT, NOW, BOYS,
BACK TO THE BAR.

PLENTY OF GOOD LIQUOR
BACK AT THE BAR.

COME ON. THAT'S IT.
COME ON.

MEREDITH!

JUST A MINUTE, PLEASE.

I'D RATHER YOU DIDN'T
COME IN HERE NOW.

I'M HIS WIFE!

HIS WIFE IS THE LAST PERSON
I WANT IN HERE.

BE SENSIBLE
AND DO WHAT I SAY.

I'LL LET YOU IN AS SOON
AS I CAN. YOU TWO STAY.

WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO?

WHATEVER I CAN, MADAM,
I PROMISE YOU.

DOC!

WHAT IS IT?

I JUST WANT TO ASK
A SIMPLE QUESTION.

WHAT IS IT?

WILL HE BE ABLE
TO FINISH THIS HAND?

HENRY DRUMMOND,
FOR THE LOVE OF...

WELL, I WAS JUST ASKING.

HOW CAN YOU BE SO VILE?

NOW, LOOK, LADY,
UH, YOU GOT PROBLEMS?

ALL RIGHT, I'M SORRY
YOU GOT PROBLEMS,

BUT I GOT PROBLEMS, TOO.

I COME A LONG WAY
TO PLAY THIS GAME.

I'M WITH YOU, HENRY.

FOR GOD'S SAKE.

LOOK, A MAN'S SICK.

ALL RIGHT, A MAN'S SICK.

ANYTHING I CAN
DO ABOUT THAT? NO!

BUT I GOT A LITTLE GIRL

SITTING WAITING FOR
HER DADDY TO COME HOME

SO SHE CAN GET MARRIED.

I CAN DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THAT.

I AIM TO FINISH!

I'M GETTING
SICK OF HEARING

HOW MUCH YOU GIVE UP
TO GET HERE!

I GIVE UP MY
DAUGHTER'S WEDDING,

THAT'S HOW MUCH!

I GIVE UP A MAN'S LIFE!

YOU GAVE UP WHAT?

I WAS DEFENDING OWNEY PRICE
ON HORSE STEALING

WHEN TROPP COME FOR ME.

I WAS MAKING MY PLEA
TO THE JURY

WHEN BEN BUSTED IN
HOLLERING FOR ME.

I GIVE YOU MY WORD

I'D BE READY
THE MINUTE HE SHOWED.

DID I LET MY DUTY
AS COUNSEL FOR THE DEFENSE

STAND IN MY WAY?

I LEFT THAT COURTROOM
THE MINUTE TROPP SHOWED.

I LEFT OWNEY'S HEAD
HALFWAY IN THE NOOSE

WHEN I WALKED
OUT OF THAT COURTROOM!

THAT'S WHAT I DID

TO PLAY IN
THIS GAME OF POKER.

BUT I AIN'T ENTIRELY...

FORSOOK MY MEMBERSHIP
IN THE HUMAN RACE.

I AIN'T WORRYING
ABOUT A GAME OF POKER

WHILE THAT LITTLE LADY'S
HUSBAND

LAYS DYING.

WELL, THAT'S THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN YOU AND ME,

LET'S PUT IT THAT WAY.

IF THE MAN'S
GOING TO DIE,

THERE AIN'T NOTHING
WE CAN DO ABOUT IT,

SO I AIM TO FINISH THIS POT
HERE AND NOW,

AND IF HE CAN'T
BE AROUND TO FINISH--

WHAT HAPPENS?

TELL HER, DENNY.

WE HAVE TO GO
BY THE RULES, MA'AM.

WHAT RULES?

HE LOSES THE MONEY,
BY DEFAULT.

BUT THAT'S EVERY PENNY
WE HAVE IN THIS WORLD.

MA'AM,

YOUR HUSBAND DIDN'T
TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION.

WHY SHOULD I?

YOU'D BETTER
COME IN, MA'AM.

HOW IS HE?

BETTER COME IN.

OHH...

MEREDITH.

MARY.

OH, DARLING.

MARY, YOU...

MARY, YOU--

OH, QUIET. SHH.

MARY, YOU...

PLEASE. SHH.

YOU...

WHAT'S HE TRYING
TO TELL ME?

IT'S MY GUESS, MA'AM,

HE'S ASKING YOU TO PLAY
THE HAND FOR HIM.

HE WANTS ME
TO PLAY THE HAND?

OH...

YOU'D BETTER GET
OUT OF HERE NOW.

HOW DO YOU PLAY
THIS GAME?

[LONG, DEEP SIGH]

WHAT DID YOU SAY,
LADY?

I ASKED YOU, HOW DO
YOU PLAY THIS GAME?

YOU MEAN
TO TELL US, MA'AM,

YOU DON'T KNOW
THE RULES?

I'VE NEVER PLAYED A GAME
OF CARDS IN MY LIFE.

SAM!

YEAH?

HOW IS HE?

DOC WANTS
THE SHUTTER

USED TO CARRY
DRUNKS OUT.

RIGHT.

IS HE ALL RIGHT?

NO CHANGE, MA'AM.

OH, WHAT ARE
YOU DOING?

WE'RE A LONG WAY
FROM A HOSPITAL, MA'AM.

THE NEXT BEST THING

IS MY HOUSE
WHERE MY EQUIPMENT IS.

EASY, BOYS, EASY.

NOW, LET'S HAVE
NO MORE TALKING!

OH, OH, WELL, WAIT
A MINUTE. WAIT A MINUTE.

I WISH WE COULD
STAY HERE ALL DAY,

BUT I'VE GOT
TO GET HIM TO MY HOUSE.

PAPA!

NEVER MIND
THE BOY.

HURRY UP.

JACKIE, JACKIE.

YOU GO WITH
YOUR FATHER.

NO!

ALL RIGHT, THEN YOU
SIT OVER IN THAT CHAIR.

GENTLEMEN,
I HAVE NO CHOICE

BUT TO CONTINUE
TO PLAY THIS GAME

IN MY HUSBAND'S
PLACE.

YOU'RE
GOING TO WHAT?

THAT MONEY REPRESENTS

10 YEARS OF SCRIMPING
AND SAVING.

IT REPRESENTS

OUR NEW HOME
IN SAN ANTONIO,

AND IT REPRESENTS
ALL OUR DREAMS

OF A DECENT FUTURE
FOR OUR SON.

I HAVE NO CHOICE
BUT TO PROTECT IT.

AND YOU HAVE NO CHOICE,
GENTLEMEN.

WHAT DO WE
HAVE TO DO?

YOU HAVE TO TEACH ME
HOW TO PLAY THIS GAME.

I TOLD YOU WHEN
SHE COME IN HERE.

BUT, MA'AM,
IT TAKES YEARS.

LET'S NOT EVEN
TALK ABOUT IT.

IT'S CRAZY TO EVEN
TALK ABOUT IT.

POUR ME ONE,
WILL YOU?

I SAY GET HER
OUT OF HERE.

HOLD IT, MEN.

HOLD WHAT?

HOLD IT.

I CAN EXPLAIN ENOUGH
OF THE GAME TO THE LADY

TO CLEAN UP THE SITUATION
TO EVERYBODY'S SATISFACTION.

HOW WILL YOU CLEAN IT
UP TO MY SATISFACTION?

LISTEN CAREFULLY.

YES.

THIS IS THE WAY IT IS--

WE'RE ALL OF US
HOLDING CARDS, SEE?

AND WE ALL OF US,
EACH OF US,

WE THINK
WE GOT BETTER CARDS

THAN ANYBODY ELSE
IN THE GAME.

YOU FOLLOW ME, MA'AM?

YES.

NOW, WE'RE
EACH OF US SO SURE

THAT WE GOT
THE BEST HAND

THAT WE'RE WILLING
TO BET ON IT.

THAT IS THE PRINCIPLE
OF THE GAME, MA'AM.

YOU MAKE A BET
YOU GOT THE BEST HAND.

I UNDERSTAND.

YOU BET MONEY.

MR. DRUMMOND
IS CORRECT.

I'VE GOT $3,500
ON THAT TABLE

THAT SAYS THAT
I'VE GOT THE BEST HAND.

MR. DRUMMOND HERE,
HE'S GOT $3,500 IN THERE

SAYING THE SAME THING
FOR HIM.

THE SAME GOES FOR
MR. TROPP, MR. BUFORD,

AND MR. WILCOX.

EVERYBODY AT THIS TABLE
IS BETTING $3,500

THAT HE'S GOT
THE WINNING HAND.

WELL, GO ON.

EVERYBODY BUT
YOUR HUSBAND, THAT IS.

THAT'S THE NUB OF IT.

ALL YOUR HUSBAND
COULD THROW IN WAS $3,000.

HE'S GOT TO GET UP

ANOTHER $500
TO STAY IN THE GAME,

OR HE'S GOT
TO BOW OUT OF THE GAME.

IS THAT CLEAR, MA'AM?

OH, EXTREMELY CLEAR,
MR...

HABERSHAW, MA'AM.

MR. OTTO HABERSHAW.

YOU LEFT OUT SOMETHING,
MR. HABERSHAW.

TELL HER WHAT HAPPENS

EVEN IF HE DOES
RAISE THE 500.

TELL HER IT AIN'T
GOING TO BE ENOUGH

BECAUSE THIS POT'S GOING
TO GET HIGHER AND HIGHER.

I GUARANTEE IT.

HE'S RIGHT, MA'AM.

AND MY NAME IS
DRUMMOND, MA'AM.

MR. HENRY
P.G. DRUMMOND.

WELL, MY HUSBAND
OFFERED TO SELL

HIS GOLD WATCH
AND CHAIN. I HEARD HIM.

AND MAYBE
YOU HEARD ME SAY

THAT I'D GIVE HIM
$100 ON IT.

HE ALSO OFFERED
OUR TEAM AND OUR WAGON.

OH. ANY OF YOU BOYS WANT
TO BUY A TEAM AND WAGON?

[SIGHS]

GENTLEMEN ALL.

ALL SUCH
GALLANT GENTLEMEN.

WE'RE GALLANT
ON SUNDAY.

THIS IS FRIDAY, AND
WE'RE PLAYING POKER.

YOU WANT TO PLAY,
YOU ANTE UP $500!

HENRY, THERE'S NO NEED
TO INSULT THE LADY.

LOOK, SINCE DAMN WHEN
DID YOU CLIMB UP

ON THAT
BIG WHITE HORSE?

JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE TEASING
YOURSELF WITH SOME HOT IDEAS

FOR YOU AND THE LADY
AFTER THE GAME.

HENRY--

I KNOW YOU FROM WAY
BACK, SO DON'T TELL ME!

ONCE A YEAR, I COME HERE
TO PLAY POKER.

I DON'T COME
FOR A LOT OF SWEET TALK.

AND I DON'T COME TO LISTEN
TO YOUR BIG MOUTH!

NOW, JUST
A DOGGONE MINUTE!

NONE OF US
COME HERE

TO LISTEN TO
A DOG FIGHT, EITHER.

LET'S STICK
TO THE POINT.

YOU TELL 'EM,
DENNY.

AND THE POINT'S
VERY SIMPLE.

NOW, YOU GOT $500
TO PLAY A MAN'S GAME,

OR AIN'T YOU?

'CAUSE IF YOU AIN'T,
WE WANT TO GET HOME

BEFORE THE RAINY
SEASON STARTS.

YEAH.

WILL YOU ACCEPT
AN I.O.U.?

MA'AM, IF YOU WANT CREDIT
FROM A BUSINESSMAN,

YOU HAVE TO COME UP
WITH SOME REAL SECURITY.

IS THERE A BANK
IN THIS TOWN?

WHAT WAS THAT
AGAIN, MA'AM?

I ASKED YOU, IS THERE
A BANK IN THIS TOWN?

THE CATTLE AND
MERCHANTS BANK,

RIGHT ACROSS
THE STREET.

COME ON, JACKIE.

AHEM.

YOU BOWING OUT
OF THIS GAME?

I'M GOING
TO THE BANK.

FOR WHAT?

FOR MONEY.

FROM THE BANK?

DIRECTLY ACROSS
THE STREET, DID YOU SAY?

LADY, MAYBE
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

IF WE DON'T
EXTEND YOU NO CREDIT,

HOW DO YOU EXPECT
TO GET IT FROM A BANK?

ON YOUR TEAM AND WAGON?

IT AIN'T THAT KIND
OF BANK, LADY.

IT JUST AIN'T
THAT KIND OF A BANK.

COME ALONG, JACKIE.

JUST A MINUTE,
MA'AM.

MA'AM, I DON'T
LIKE TO BE,

LIKE THEY SAY,

THE LAWYER
FOR THE DEVIL,

BUT YOU JUST
CAN'T WALK OUT

WITH THEM CARDS
IN YOUR HAND.

WHY NOT?

WHY NOT?

WELL, IT JUST AIN'T
POKER, THAT'S WHY.

IT DON'T GO
BY THE RULES.

YOU SEE, MA'AM,

WHILE YOU'RE
OUT OF THE ROOM,

ANYTHING
COULD HAPPEN.

YOU COULD--

I COULD CHEAT?

NO, NO, MA'AM...

WELL, NOW, MA'AM...
WH-WHAT I MEAN TO SAY

IS THAT SINCE YOU
DON'T KNOW THE RULES--

NOW, LET ME TELL YOU
SOMETHING, ALL OF YOU.

YOU MAY PLAY POKER
FOR FUN,

OR WHATEVER
SELFISH THRILL

YOU GET OUT OF
THIS HORRID GAME,

BUT I AM PLAYING
FOR MY LIFE--

MY LIFE, GENTLEMEN--

AND I HAVE NO INTENTION
OF LETTING THESE CARDS

OUT OF MY POSSESSION.

MY HUSBAND
GAVE THEM TO ME,

AND I'M
PLAYING FOR HIM,

AND I WILL NOT
RELINQUISH THEM

FOR ANY REASON
WHATSOEVER,

AND YOU WILL NOT
FORCE ME TO.

NOW, IT IS TIME
FOR THE FIVE OF YOU

TO SHOW ONE SPARK
OF HUMAN DECENCY

AND ALLOW ONE COMPROMISE
IN YOUR SILLY RULES.

SILLY RULES!

I THINK WE CAN
ACCOMMODATE THE LADY

AND STILL KEEP
EVERYBODY HAPPY.

AH, HE'S GOT
ANOTHER SUGGESTION.

I HAVE.

WHAT?

ONE OF US GOES
TO THE BANK WITH HER.

YOU, HUH?

I'D BE HONORED.

I...RAISE ONE LITTLE
POINT OF ORDER, MA'AM.

YES?

ARE YOU WILLING
TO TURN YOUR BACK ON THEM?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

WELL, ONCE
YOU LEAVE THIS ROOM,

YOU DON'T KNOW

WHAT THEY'LL DO
WITH THEIR CARDS.

I TRUST THEM.

...7, 8, 9, 10.

A LOT OF MONEY,
MRS. CRAIG.

MY MONEY.

WHY, MR. HABERSHAW!

MR. DRUMMOND, MR. WILCOX,
HOWDY-DO.

AND MR. TROPP.

UH, GAME OVER,
GENTLEMEN?

[DRUMMOND] NO.

[TELLER] NOT YET?

WELL, UH...THEN, UH...

SOMETHING I CAN DO
FOR YOU GENTLEMEN?

THE LITTLE LADY
YOU CAN TAKE CARE OF.

WE COME WITH HER.

OH?

YES.

CAN I HELP YOU,
MA'AM?

WELL, I'D LIKE
VERY MUCH--

OH, YOU'RE
ONLY THE TELLER.

I AM THE TELLER,
MA'AM.

I'D LIKE VERY MUCH TO SPEAK
TO THE MANAGER, PLEASE.

MANAGER, MA'AM?

WE GOT NO MANAGER.

WHAT WE GOT'S
MR. BALLINGER.

MR. BALLINGER
IS THE MANAGER

AND THE ASSISTANT MANAGER
AND THE PRESIDENT

AND THE CASHIER
AND THE LANDLORD.

MR. BALLINGER
OWNS THE BANK, MA'AM.

THEN IT'S MR. BALLINGER
I'D LIKE TO SEE.

WELL, THIS TIME OF DAY,

MR. BALLINGER'S
ALWAYS VERY BUSY, MA'AM.

UH, CAN I HELP YOU?

I'M THE TELLER.

SHE WANTS TO SEE
BALLINGER.

WELL...

I DON'T GUARANTEE
ANYTHING.

COME IN.

BALLINGER!

[DOOR OPENS]

WILL YOU COME
THIS WAY, PLEASE?

YOU WANT TO SEE ME
PERSONALLY?

YES, MR. BALLINGER.

WELL!

WELL, WELL, WELL!

THE GAME MUST BE OVER.

IT'S STILL GOING ON.

WE'RE JUST TAKING
A LITTLE REST.

NO REST FOR
THE WICKED, HENRY.

YOU KNOW THAT.

AND THIS IS
NOT SIESTA TIME.

THIS IS AN OFFICE,

DESIGNED FOR THE
TRANSACTION OF BUSINESS.

THE LITTLE LADY
IS HERE ON BUSINESS.

WE COME WITH HER.

WELL, ALL RIGHT.

BACK TO YOUR CAGE,
FLEASON.

SIT DOWN, MADAM,
SIT DOWN.

IS THIS YOURS?

OH, YES, THIS
IS MY SON JACKIE.

SHAKE HANDS WITH
MR. BALLINGER, SON.

HOWDY-DO?
HOWDY-DO?

UH, NOW THEN,
MADAM,

WHY DO YOU,
UNDER THE PROTECTION

OF THIS BRIGADE
OF CITIZENS,

INSIST ON SEEING
ME PERSONALLY?

MR. BALLINGER,
YOU SEEM TO BE AWARE

OF THE POKER GAME
THAT'S GOING ON?

I AM.

FOR REASONS TOO, UH...

UN-UN-UNREASONABLE
TO GO INTO HERE...

I HAPPEN TO BE
PLAYING IN THAT GAME.

NO.

YES.

IS THIS TRUE, OTTO?

IT'S TRUE.

I DON'T BELIEVE IT.

OH, IT'S TRUE.

ALL RIGHT...

I BELIEVE IT.

I DON'T APPROVE
OF IT,

BUT I BELIEVE IT.

PROCEED.

THERE'S A GRAND TOTAL
OF $20,500

SITTING IN THE MIDDLE
OF THAT TABLE RIGHT NOW.

YOU MEAN IN ONE POT?

YES.

THAT MUST BE
A NEW RECORD, HENRY.

IT IS.

$20,500.

GOOD HEAVENS.

AND IT'S MY TURN
TO BET, BUT...

YOU SEE, I DON'T HAVE--

I MEAN, MY--
MY HUSBAND AND I, UH...

HOW CAN I EXPLAIN IT?

WE'VE PUT $4,000
INTO THAT GAME,

AND I HAVE
TO STAY WITH IT.

I WILL NOT BE FORCED
OUT OF THAT GAME.

YOU HAVE GRIT,
MADAM.

I ALWAYS ADMIRE
TENACITY AND GRIT,

BUT JUST HOW DOES
YOUR DESIRE

TO STICK
WITH THE GAME

CONCERN ME
AND MY BANK?

I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY
TO STICK WITH IT.

I SEE.

WHAT COLLATERAL
DO YOU HAVE TO OFFER?

ON WHAT DO YOU PROPOSE
TO BORROW THIS MONEY?

ON THIS.

BUT...IT MUST
BE A GOOD HAND.

ISN'T IT A GOOD HAND?

ISN'T IT A VERY
GOOD HAND IN POKER?

DON'T YOU KNOW?

NO. I'M ONLY TAKING
MY HUSBAND'S WORD FOR IT.

YOUR HUSBAND'S WORD?

WELL, HE TOOK SICK.

SICK.

WE-WELL, HE WAS PLAYING
THE HAND, AND THEN HE--

OH, PLEASE DON'T
MAKE ME TRY TO EXPLAIN IT,

BECAUSE I CAN'T,

BUT NOW ISN'T THAT
A GOOD HAND?

PUT THOSE CARDS AWAY,
YOUNG WOMAN!

WHAT?

PUT THEM AWAY!

OTTO,

THIS IS
ONE OF YOUR JOKES.

NO.

ONE OF YOURS, HENRY?

YOUNG WOMAN--

WOMAN I'VE NEVER
SEEN BEFORE--

TELLS ME SHE'S INVOLVED
IN THE BIGGEST POKER GAME

THAT EVER
CAME DOWN THE PIKE.

THAT ONE WAS
HARD ENOUGH TO SWALLOW.

THEN SHE TELLS ME

SHE WANTS TO BORROW
MONEY FROM MY BANK

TO STAY IN THE GAME.

THAT'S WHEN I SHOULD
HAVE CALLED MR. FLEASON

TO HAVE YOU EJECTED
FROM THE PREMISES.

WHAT WAS YOUR NEXT
UNHOLY REVELATION?

YOU OFFER
YOUR POKER HAND

AS COLLATERAL
FOR THE MONEY!

PELION ON OSSA,
MADAM.

PELION ON OSSA.

A QUOTATION
FROM THE GREEK POETS.

IT MEANS WHEN
YOU PILE ONE MOUNTAIN

ON TOP OF ANOTHER.

ONE HORRENDOUS
GLOB OF FLUMMERY

ON TOP OF ANOTHER.

NOW, YOUNG WOMAN,

YOU HAVE THE BILE
AND THE GALL

TO TELL ME
YOU DON'T KNOW

THE FIRST THING
ABOUT POKER.

ALL RIGHT,
THE JOKE IS OVER.

AS FOR ME,
I'M A BUSY MAN.

YOU GOT IT ALL WRONG,
BALLINGER.

YOU GOT ME ALL WRONG,
OTTO HABERSHAW,

AT COMPOUND INTEREST!

THEY DIDN'T TAKE THE TROUBLE
TO TELL YOU, MADAM,

WHEN THEY PUT YOU
UP TO THIS,

THAT C.P. BALLINGER
IS THE KIND OF MAN

WHO CAN'T TOLERATE
LIQUOR, CARDS, OR WOMEN,

READING
FROM LEFT TO RIGHT.

AND I WOULD
APPRECIATE IT

IF YOU AND
YOUR FUN-LOVING FRIENDS

WOULD REMOVE YOURSELVES
FROM THE PREMISES.

FLEASON!

WHAT HAPPENED?

WHAT HAPPENED?

WHAT HAPPENED?

HUH?

MA'AM?

UH...

DID YOU GET
THE MONEY, MA'AM?

HMM? HUH, MA'AM?

IF YOU'D ASKED US,
MA'AM,

WE'D HAVE TOLD YOU.

IF YOU WANT
TO BORROW MONEY

FROM C.P. BALLINGER,
YOU GOT TO AT LEAST

COME UP WITH
A SECOND MORTGAGE.

ALL RIGHT, BEN,
LET'S PLAY CARDS.

COME ON, BEN.
SHE'S OUT OF THE GAME.

UH...IF I AIN'T
BEING TOO NOSY, MA'AM,

JUST WHAT KIND
OF COLLATERAL

DID YOU OFFER
BALLINGER, HMM?

SHE ASKED BALLINGER
TO LEND MONEY

ON THE HAND
SHE'S HOLDING.

UH...SHE--
SHE WH-WHAT?

YEAH.

[CHORTLES]

[LAUGHS]

[LAUGHING]

[ALL LAUGHING]

AH HA HA HA HA!

HEY, C.P., HOW MUCH INTEREST
WOULD YOU CHARGE ME

ON AN INSIDE
STRAIGHT?

HEY, ME, TOO, C.P.

HOW ABOUT 6%
ON A DANDY LITTLE FLUSH?

SO, IT WAS A JOKE,
WASN'T IT?

I CAME OVER
TO SEE FOR MYSELF.

IT WAS NO JOKE.

THEN WHAT'S SO FUNNY?

IT AIN'T FUNNY, C.P.

DON'T TELL ME.

I'LL TELL YOU AGAIN,
BALLINGER.

IT WAS NO JOKE.

THE LADY MEANT IT.

THAT'S WHAT THESE DAMN FOOLS
ARE LAUGHING AT.

IT ISN'T ME
THEY'RE LAUGHING AT?

HELL, NO, C.P.

WHY, IT WOULD
BE DANGEROUS

FOR ANY MAN IN THIS ROOM

TO BE LAUGHING AT YOU,
NOW, WOULDN'T IT, C.P.?

[ALL LAUGHING]

THAT IT WOULD, DENNIS.
THAT IT WOULD...

WITH QUARTERLY MORTGAGE
PAYMENT TIME COMING UP.

YOU, SAM RHINE.

YES, SIR.

WHAT DID I
MAKE YOU DO

BEFORE GIVING YOU
YOUR MORTGAGE?

YOU MADE ME
FIX THE CELLAR.

CORRECT. GIVE ME

COLLATERAL WITH
A SOLID FOUNDATION,

OR DON'T ASK ME
FOR MONEY.

46 YEARS AGO,
I STARTED LENDING MONEY

IN LARRY BINGHAM'S
BACK ROOM.

MY FIRST CUSTOMER

WAS A DROVER
NAMED PENNY.

WANTED $2.00 ON A BRINDLE
COW AT 6% INTEREST.

SAID SHE GAVE 6 QUARTS
OF MILK A DAY.

YOU KNOW
WHAT I MADE HIM DO?

I MADE HIM
MOVE THAT COW

INTO MY BACKYARD
FOR A WHOLE WEEK,

AND I WATCHED HIM
MILK HER EVERY DAY.

SURE ENOUGH,

SHE GAVE AN AVERAGE
OF 6 1/2 QUARTS A DAY,

SO I GAVE HIM
THE MONEY

AT 6.5% INTEREST.

NOT ONLY THAT, I KEPT
THE 60 POUNDS OF MANURE

SHE LEFT BEHIND.

SHOW ME COLLATERAL,
MADAM.

YOU BETTER MAKE SURE
IT'S GOOD COLLATERAL.

46 YEARS
I'VE BEEN LENDING MONEY

ON GOOD OLD-FASHIONED
PRINCIPLES.

I STAND HERE NOW
TO TELL YOU ONE AND ALL

THAT I'VE
NEVER BEEN OFFERED

A BETTER PIECE
OF COLLATERAL

THAN I HOLD
IN MY HAND RIGHT NOW.

CHAIR!

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

YOU HEARD ME,
HENRY DRUMMOND.

KEEP 'EM CLOSE
TO THE VEST, MADAM,

CLOSE TO THE, UH,
VEST.

NOBODY SEES
THOSE CARDS

BUT YOU AND
C.P. BALLINGER.

SAM!

YES, SIR.

BRING SOME CHIPS
IN HERE.

LOTS OF CHIPS.

YES, SIR!

HOLD THIS, SON.

I DON'T LIKE
TO SWEAT

IN A NEW HAT.

JUST BLUES, PLEASE.

BLUES ARE $100
APIECE, I PRESUME.

MAKE IT 55
TO START WITH.

BUT DON'T GO AWAY.

NOW, HOW MUCH
DID YOU SAY

YOU NEEDED
TO STAKE, MADAM?

SHE NEEDS $500.

500.

5...

NOW LET'S PLAY
SOME POKER,

THE GOOD
OLD-FASHIONED WAY.

LET'S YOU AND ME

AND THE CATTLE
AND MERCHANTS BANK

JUST RAISE
THE BET ONCE AGAIN.

YOU GENTLEMEN WANT
TO STAY IN THE GAME,

YOU'LL HAVE TO PUT IN
ANOTHER 5,000 APIECE.

[CHIPS CLICKING]

OF COURSE
YOU UNDERSTAND

THERE'S THE USUAL
INTEREST CHARGE, 7%.

MAKE IT 6.

LEND A HAND, SONNY.

I'VE WON?

THAT YOU HAVE,
MADAM.

THAT YOU HAVE.

IF YOU DON'T MIND,
MA'AM,

COULD I LOOK
AT YOUR CARDS?

MR. BUFORD, THE GAME
IS CALLED "POKER."

THE LADY DOESN'T
HAVE TO SHOW HER HAND.

YOU OUGHT TO READ
THE RULES SOMETIME.

HOW TRUE.

CASH ME IN.
I'M GOING HOME.

YES, SIR, MR. WILCOX.

HOME?

YEAH, HOME...

TO MY WIFE.

COMING, BEN?

THE CATTLE AND MERCHANTS
LENT YOU

A SUM TOTAL OF $5,500.

AT 6%, THAT MAKES
ANOTHER $330.

NOW, HOW DID YOU CARE
TO PAY THAT OFF?

RIGHT NOW.
ALL AT ONCE.

THAT'S THE WAY
TO DO BUSINESS.

IF I MAY ESCORT YOU
TO THE LOBBY, MADAM,

WE CAN EXCHANGE
THESE CHIPS FOR CASH.

WILL IT TAKE VERY LONG?

BUT ONE MINUTE,
MADAM.

ONLY ONE MINUTE.

WELL, 'CAUSE I WANT
TO SEE MY HUSBAND.

TOBY, GET
A BUGGY READY.

RIGHT AWAY,
MR. BALLINGER.

MA'AM.

IT'S BEEN
A PLEASURE, MA'AM.

A VERY GREAT PLEASURE.

SHUT UP.

TO DOC SCULLY'S,
MA'AM?

YES. CAN WE HURRY,
PLEASE?

BE THERE
IN A JIFFY.

LET'S GO, SONNY.

GIDDYUP.

HENRY?

YEAH.

HOW MANY GOOD WOMEN
HAVE YOU MET IN YOUR LIFE?

HMM? I MEAN GOOD WOMEN.

OTTO?

ONE.

[CRYING]

PAPA!

MAMA!

HENRY!

HOW WAS IT, POP?

WELCOME HOME, HENRY,
WELCOME HOME.

MAMA.

I TOLD YOU
HE'D BE BACK.

HELLO THERE, DRUMMOND.

WELCOME,
MR. DRUMMOND.

UH, DAD.

OH, PAPA.

PAPA!

WHO WON?

YOU SHUT UP.

WHAT'D YOU DO,
SLEEP IN THAT DRESS?

AIN'T HAD IT OFF
SINCE YOU LEFT, HENRY.

THAT'D BE BAD LUCK.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY,
LET'S GET READY NOW.

MR. MARTIN, FIRST WE NEED
TO LET EVERYBODY KNOW--

UH, JUST A MINUTE.

HENRY, WE'VE
GOT A LOT TO DO.

YOU GOT NOTHING TO DO
TILL I TELL YOU.

[HENRY] YOU...

COME WITH ME.

I SAID
COME WITH ME!

UH, YES,
MR. DRUMMOND.

UH, DAD.

[MAMA]
WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

WELL, WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO?

MAMA!

HENRY!

OH...OH, HERE.

[WAILING]

SIT DOWN.

BUT I, UH...

I SAID SIT DOWN.

YES, SIR.

IS THIS CHAIR
ALL RIGHT...

SIR?

THANK YOU,
MR. DRUMMOND.

HOW OLD ARE YOU,
ARTHUR?

26, MR. DRUMMOND.

CELIE'S 32.

I CAN TAKE
GOOD CARE OF HER.

SHUT UP!

I'M TALKING.

NEVER INTERRUPT
WHEN I'M TALKING.

WHAT ARE YOU
MARRYING HER FOR?

WHAT?

STOP ASKING
QUESTIONS.

I'M ASKING
THE QUESTIONS.

WHAT ARE YOU
MARRYING HER FOR?

WELL, MR. DRUMMOND, CELIE
AND ME, WE LOVE EACH OTHER--

NO, YOU DON'T!

YOU'RE MARRYING CELIE
BECAUSE YOUR OLD MAN

FIGURES TO GET HIS HOOKS
INTO MY PROPERTY.

I KNOW IT, HE KNOWS IT,
AND YOU KNOW IT.

NOW THEN, WHY IS CELIE
MARRYING YOU?

UH, BECAUSE SHE LOVES--

BECAUSE SHE'S
HOMELY AS A LEMON

AND JUST AS SNEAKY
AS HER OLD LADY.

A MAN NEEDS JUST
ONE LOOK TO FIGURE

IT AIN'T WORTH 40,000
ACRES AND A SOFT SPOT

FOR THE REST
OF HIS LIFE.

IS THAT WHAT YOU
WERE GOING TO SAY?

YES, SIR.

NOW YOU'RE
TALKING SENSE.

ARTHUR, I WANT YOU

TO LIGHT OUT
OF THAT WINDOW THERE

AND SHINNY
DOWN THE RAINPIPE

AND GET ON MY HORSE

AND GET THE HELL
AND GONE AWAY

FROM US AND YOUR OLD MAN
AS FAR AS YOU CAN GET.

AND DON'T WASTE
ANY TIME, ARTHUR.

THERE'S
A WHOLE WORLD

WAITING FOR YOU
OUT THERE--

GOOD PLACES
AND BAD PLACES,

NICE PEOPLE AND
SOME NOT SO NICE.

LOOK THEM ALL OVER,
ARTHUR.

BIDE YOUR TIME.

AND MAYBE SOMEWHERE,
SOMEPLACE,

YOU'LL FIND
A REAL WOMAN.

A GOOD WOMAN.

NOW GIT!

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS,
MR. DRUMMOND?

FIND ONE THAT'LL LOVE,
HONOR, AND OBEY YOU, ARTHUR.

FIND ONE THAT'LL...

COMFORT YOU...

IN SICKNESS
AND IN HEALTH.

HUH?

GIT!

YES, SIR.

FIND A GOOD ONE,
ARTHUR.

TO GET A DRINK.

HAS THE GAME STARTED?

NOT YET.

9,420.

THAT'S 9,420

THAT'S THE STAKE
AND YOUR RAISE.

AND 1/5 OF
THE NET RECEIPTS--3,300.

SMALL SUGGESTION.

YEAH?

I WOULDN'T BE SEEN
AROUND LAREDO AGAIN.

IF ANY OF THEM SUSPICIONED
HOW WE CHEATED THEM--

CHEAT?

WE DIDN'T CHEAT 'EM,
WE BLUFFED 'EM.

THAT'S THE GAME.

I AM SHOCKED AT YOU, C.P.

OUR BLUFF HAD
A FEW EXTRA TRIMMINGS,

BUT IT WAS ENTIRELY WITHIN
THE SPIRIT OF THE GAME.

I'M HORRIFIED THAT
YOU THINK WE WOULD CHEAT.

NO OFFENSE.

THAT'S
NOT THE POINT.

BEDTIME, JACKIE.

BE SEEING YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
WITH YOUR MONEY, J.C.?

BENNY, YOU KNOW

DO I KNOW ROSCOE BUSBY?

WELL, ROSCOE COME UP

OH, TOMORROW
OR THE DAY AFTER.

WHEN DO YOU GO BACK,
JOSEPH?

WHO KNOWS?

BE LEFT ALONE *

* MEET ME AND TELL ME
I'M YOUR OWN... *

DOC?

HMM?

OUT THERE?

NEW ORLEANS?

AFTER 40 YEARS OF
FIXING THEIR CHILBLAINS

AND FROSTBITE,
BELLYACHING PIP,

I FIGURE
THEY OWE ME THIS.

THEY OWE ME
A LITTLE VACATION.

JOSEPH.

YOU DID A GREAT
PERFORMANCE.

* HONEY, YOU'LL LOSE ME *

* THEN YOU'LL BE
LEFT ALONE... *

OH, SWEET REVENGE, C.P.

YOU BET IT IS.

HOW MANY YEARS AGO
WAS IT

THEY CHEATED YOU IN
THAT REAL ESTATE DEAL?

16 YEARS IT'S TAKEN ME
TO GET MY MONEY BACK,

BUT I'VE GOT IT.

WHAT DO YOU INTEND TO DO
WITH ALL THAT MONEY?

OH, YOU KNOW, C.P.

I DO?

WE PLAY BIG POKER HERE
IN BLACK CREEK.

RUBY!

YOU PROMISED ME!

PROMISED WHAT, C.P.?

YOU SAID AFTER LAREDO,

YOU'D GIVE UP POKER
FOR GOOD!

I DIDN'T SAY FOR GOOD.
YOU KNOW I COULDN'T DO THAT.

YOU GAVE
YOUR SOLEMN WORD.

I DID NOT.
I NEVER.

RUBY, YOU'RE LYING AGAIN!

RUBY! RUBY, RUBY.

COME BACK HERE.

YOU KNOW
WE TALKED THIS OVER.

WE TALKED, C.P., SURE,
BUT I NEVER PROMISED.

YOU DID.

YOU PROMISED ME
ON YOUR WORD OF HONOR.

CROSSED YOUR HEART
AND HOPED YOU DIE

THAT YOU'D NEVER
PLAY AGAIN.

YOU WEREN'T
LISTENING, C.P.,

TO WHAT I SAID.

WHAT YOU SAID WAS

THAT YOU'D NEVER SIT IN
ON ANOTHER POKER GAME

IF YOU CAME OUT WITH A BIG
ENOUGH STAKE FROM LAREDO.

WHAT AM I
SUPPOSED TO DO

WHEN YOU'RE SITTING

AND I'M WAITING FOR YOU
