Maverick (1957) s01e12 Episode Script

1
You're a very dishonest man.
You've been cheating me, Mr. Martin.
With marked cards.
Cheating you?
Well, Doc, you've been winning all night.
I'm gonna leave town in the morning
but before I do
I'm gonna complete the business
I came here to transact.
And if, Mr. Martin
I happen to see you here
on the streets
or anywhere I happen to be
I'll deal with you exactly
as I intend to deal with your friend.
And if I don't happen to see you
I'll just ride out of town
and forget about you.
And that, Mr. Martin
is a better deal than you've been
giving me here tonight.
BRET:
His name was Parker.
I didn't know about much him
except that he could lose a poker game
with good cards
and pay off with bad money.
My name's Maverick.
He didn't know much about me, either.
Not even that I was standing
about 10 feet away
with a gun in my hand.
BRET:
Parker
don't move, don't turn and don't holler.
Who is it? Who's there?
Don't think about me.
Think about yourself.
Think how careful you can be
when you set down that bucket.
Now take out your gun
and put it in the pail.
That's good thinking.
- You alone?
- I was.
- Nobody inside?
- Not now.
Let's have a look.
- Ask me in.
- Ask yourself.
After you.
[SHOTGUN CLICKING]
- Can I turn around?
- Slowly.
Maverick.
- So you remember.
- I remember the $500.
Not used to losing
that kind of money.
I'm not used to winning
that kind of money.
Ain't no more where that come from,
if that's what you're after.
Just where did it come from?
I got a rich uncle.
You're gonna have a dead one
if you got it from him.
What is that supposed to mean?
A man was killed when that money
was taken from the coach.
- Somebody's gonna hang for it.
- Not me, I wasn't on that job.
Mister, those five big bills you lost to me
had five big numbers on them.
All of them consecutive
all of them from the June issue
of currency
out of the independence Bank.
Part of a $10,000 take
from that holdup.
All right, I did know it was stolen money,
but I didn't steal it.
I hope you can prove that.
But all you have to do
is prove that I didn't.
You?
You see, the marshal in Quallary
didn't like my having
those bright new bills around.
Didn't like my story, either.
Heh, "Won them in a poker game."
- How did you get away?
- Glad you asked.
Hand's quicker than the eye.
Showed the marshal a card trick.
While he's taking a card,
I'm taking his gun, this one.
Lost the posse in a couple of hours,
found you in a couple of days.
Now I'm going back.
Now with me, you ain't.
My story's no better than yours.
That's your problem. Get your hat.
The three men who did that job
came here to cool off.
I never saw them before that.
Don't tell me, tell the marshal.
Now let's go.
Look, you don't want me,
you want them three men.
They're the one you're after.
I'm not trying to solve the crime.
I'm trying to get out from under it.
They headed for Bandera,
you can find them.
They call themselves Shields
Cane and one of the fellas
was named Johnny.
He's the one give me the money.
He's tall, dark and he wears a gold ring
around his little finger.
Oh, and he'd twist it every time
they started to play cards.
Thanks.
Now let's move.
I ain't moving.
Look, Parker,
just because I can't afford to kill you
that's no sign I can't take you.
Even if I have to drag you.
Well, you just gonna have to try,
because I ain't moving.
[BOTH GRUNTING]
[GUNSHOT]
[PANTING]
BRET:
Well, there went my story to the marshal.
Five days later I was in Bandera,
the town Parker had mentioned.
He had mentioned three names too:
Shields, Cane
and a man catted Johnny
with a habit of twisting a gold ring
on his finger.
Hey, ain't I seen you some place?
It's possible, I've been there.
Sure, Ponca City,
that's where it was.
You was the customer that didn't drink.
And you're the bartender who did.
Heh-heh-heh. Yeah, that's me.
Hey, you're a gambling man.
There's an opening for a dealer
at the Red Front Casino.
What happened to the old dealer?
He found a new opening.
- Too bad.
- Uh-uh.
Too slow.
Well, I got to catch up.
So long, Mister, um
Maverick, wasn't it?
Yeah. Uh, say, can you keep a secret?
For a dollar.
Well, ugh
you know how it is
with a gambling man.
Moves from town to town, sometimes
looking for a cooler climate.
Oh.
- Traveling for your health, huh?
- Yeah.
Well, I'm not using
the name Maverick.
I'm calling myself Martin,
Bret Martin.
That's fine with me.
I'm calling myself Ponca.
BRET: it didn't take a long
to find out that nobody in town
knew anybody
named Shields or Cane.
Checking up on Johnny
took a tittie longer.
There were six Johnny's in town.
Two were old men, three were boys
and one was a tittie girl.
I thought I'd follow the signs
and try to change my luck
at the Red Front Casino.
That'd be the place to look
for strangers in town.
[PEOPLE CHATTERING]
- Hello, Mister--
- Martin.
I know, heh.
Somebody here I want you to meet.
Miss Cora?
Yes.
This here's the boss.
This is the fella
I was telling you about.
Well, you didn't tell me
near enough.
His name's Martin.
I'm Cora Beth.
All right, Mr. Martin, you'll do.
- Do what?
- Attract a better class of people.
I pay $50 a week and tips.
Well, I'm sorry. I'm not looking for a job.
Oh?
- What are you looking for then?
- A game.
Well, if you change your mind,
come and see me.
BRET:
Do I have to change my mind?
Not necessarily.
Hey, don't look like that.
BRET: Like what?
- Like you're looking.
That's the way the other dealer
starting looking.
The one who left town in the box.
BRET:
Who put him there?
Him.
Don't like nobody looking at her
or talking to her
or even thinking about her.
BRET: Who's he?
- Meanest man in town, fastest too.
Three men thought they was faster,
they wasn't.
BRET: Big reputation, huh?
- The biggest.
That there's the fella that backed down
Doc Holliday at Fort Griffin.
BRET: No.
- Fact.
Called him a cheat to his face.
Would've shot it out then and there,
Doc Holliday backed down.
BRET: I take it we're talking about
the same Doc Holliday.
You know him?
BRET: I played cards with him once
in Wichita, ahem.
Didn't figure he'd back down
from anybody.
- Doesn't care that much about living.
Well, he did.
And it took that there fella to do it,
so don't get him grouchy.
BRET:
Well, thanks for the tip.
Tip's worth a dollar.
BRET:
Oh, at least.
I'm in for 200.
I like a sociable game.
My name's Martin, Bret Martin.
- Fred Turner.
- Jim Elkins.
- Yours?
- Stacey.
Oh, let's stick to first name.
That is my first name. Cards?
I believe we have
a mutual card-playing friend.
- Who's that?
- Doc Holliday.
- Did you say friend?
- Not a good friend, though.
He's a cheap tinhorn.
He's a sick man.
But I understand you made him
look sicker in Fort Griffin.
Well, he asked for it.
Funny, just can't picture it somehow.
Doc Holliday backing down.
Are you saying maybe he didn't?
Oh, no.
- Then why mention it?
- I'm sorry I did.
Hit me.
Oh, now, boys, play nice.
When you're through here,
I wanna see you upstairs, Johnny.
I thought you said your name
was Stacey.
It is. Stacey Johnson.
But only my good friends
call me Johnny.
Too much.
- I'll be back.
- No hurry.
BRET:
This was Johnny, all right. No doubt of it.
And nothing I could do about it, not yet.
I wasn't about to risk
another dead lead like Parker
or even a dead Maverick.
No, I had to wait and watch.
Hope I'd learn something
to help me sell my story to the marshal.
Come in.
So soon.
Why delay? I'll take the job.
Just like that?
You're changeable.
Flexible.
Did someone downstairs influence you?
Someone upstairs.
All right.
You're on the payroll.
Just like that?
As you say, why delay?
I've never seen a woman
run a place like this before.
I like the way you do business.
- My husband did it better.
- Oh?
- He's dead.
- Oh.
Cora Beth's my given name,
his name was Creighton.
Creighton?
You've heard of him?
- Can't be the one.
- I think it could. Cole Creighton.
He was killed while robbing the bank
at Rio Bravo.
BRET:
That's the one.
This place is all he left me.
It isn't what I wanted.
But I'll use it to get what I want.
Well, when do I start?
Right now.
Go tell Johnny he's relieved.
Do you really think he will be?
BRET: Ten days later, I was still no closer
to the answers I was after.
I still had one plus: Johnny.
I was still minus two:
Shields and Cane
and anything I could take
to the marshal at Quallary.
But I had managed
to mend my fences with Johnny.
And I'd even joined
the select circle
that catted Stacey Johnson
by that name.
- Boss lady wants to see you, Johnny.
- Thanks, Bret.
BRET: But in 10 days, the man who said
he backed down Doc Holliday
hadn't said much of anything else.
And then a very funny thing happened.
Hello, Doc.
I was just thinking about you.
Say you're glad to see me, dealer man.
I'm glad to see you.
He ain't as big as I thought.
Yes.
That face of yours.
I place it now.
I was trying to recall it
but, uh, faces look pretty much alike
over a card table.
Oh, I don't know. I didn't forget yours.
So I've heard.
- You have?
- Oh, yes.
I've heard a lot about you.
About me?
About the game we played in Fort Griffin.
- Oh, Wichita.
- Fort Griffin.
I heard it so often I know the place.
But the face didn't fit until now.
Well, just what have you heard, Doc?
Careless talk.
Gossip, mostly.
But it's invidious.
Distasteful. Depressing.
I think I know
what you talking about, but--
DOC:
Then you do see my point.
The most precious thing to a man
is his reputation.
If he loses that, he loses everything.
Including sleep.
That's why I had to look you up.
To play another game.
Heh. Well, why didn't you say so?
Sit down.
By another game,
I mean a different game.
Drop the Handkerchief.
- I don't think I know that one, Doc.
- Oh, it's easy to learn.
I hold the handkerchief like this.
When I drop it, you go for your gun.
- I do?
- Yes.
Now let me see you
back me down again, dealer man.
Like you did in Fort Griffin.
Wichita, Doc.
I've never been in Fort Griffin.
He's telling the truth, Doc.
He ain't the one you want.
He ain't the regular dealer.
Stacey Johnson's
the one you're looking for.
And that wouldn't be you?
It wouldn't.
But I've seen you somewhere.
Wichita, Doc. In Wichita.
[COUGHING]
[SIGHS]
It's possible.
PONCA:
This one spoke very well of you.
It's the other one
that done the knocking.
And where is the other one?
Up them stairs and through the door.
- Is that right?
- That's right, Doc.
- Yes, sir.
- Right up the stairs.
My mistake, sir.
We all make them
that's why we have erasers, huh?
Apropos.
Maybe prophetic.
Is there any other way out to there
except down those stairs?
Not unless he wants to jump out
of the window and break a leg.
Would you go up those stairs
and tell Mr. Johnson
that Doc Holliday is waiting to see him
about some unfinished business?
Would you do that?
I'll do that.
Saved your life.
Ain't that worth a dollar?
No.
BRET: My life wasn't worth 5 cents more
than Johnny's
if he kept his date with Doc Holliday.
I saw myself with a second lead
just as dead as the first
when Johnny came
marching down those stairs.
Keeping him alive was my only chance
to keep my own neck out of a noose.
Don't ever do that, Bret.
Don't ever open a door
behind my back without knocking first.
I'm sorry, Johnny. Cora.
Don't apologize.
The only thing worse than making
a mistake is apologizing for it.
- I hope you don't mean that.
- Why shouldn't I?
I think you've made a mistake.
And an apology may be
your only way out of it.
- What are you talking about?
- Man downstairs with a grievance.
- What man? What's his name?
- Doc Holliday.
Holliday here?
- What does he want?
- To see you.
What about?
About playing Drop the Handkerchief.
Looking for trouble, huh?
Not looking for, he brought it with him.
Well, I can take all he's got.
Johnny, you're not going down there.
Why not? I'm not afraid of him.
- He not afraid of you either.
- Backed down on me once, didn't he?
I've heard you say so.
That's right. And he'll do it again.
And if he doesn't?
I can take him.
You know,
I'm beginning to believe
that you really did stand up to Doc
in Fort Griffin
and back him down.
If anybody ever doubted it,
let him watch me now.
- Just one question first.
- What's that?
- Was Holliday gambling at the time?
- We were gambling together.
- Was he winning?
- That's two questions.
Answer me, Johnny.
He was winning, wasn't he?
Quite a lot.
Too much.
That's what led to the argument.
That's what I thought.
What are you driving at?
Johnny.
You know that little habit you have
of twisting the ring on your little finger.
Why do you do it?
- Why, for luck.
BRET: Right. It's a superstition.
Every gambler has one, even Holliday.
He doesn't like to kill a man
while he's having a winning streak.
He thinks it'll break his luck.
- Are you trying to say that--?
- I'm saying
that if you'd started talking tall to Doc
while he was losing
or just breaking even
you'd be dead right now in Fort Griffin.
Well, maybe so.
But now it's looks like
I've got to find out for sure.
- Johnny, don't be a fool.
- Maybe I was a fool.
Maybe I did push my luck in Fort Griffin.
But now I've got to prove
that I wasn't bluffing.
To who, a bunch of tinhorns
and rum pots?
To me, Cora. To me.
CORA: Well, I can't have you
satisfying yourself at my expense.
What have you got to do with it?
I happen to have an interest
in your future.
If nothing else, a business interest.
This has got nothing to do with us.
[SCOFFS]
This is between me and Holliday.
I think there's another way out.
And what is it?
Could I speak to you alone, Cora,
outside?
- Hey, what is this anyway?
- Cool off, Johnny.
What's your hurry?
Holliday won't run out on you.
Well, Cora? Only take a minute.
All right, Bret.
And, Johnny, please for my sake,
will you sit down and think it over?
All right. But not for long.
Cora, is keeping Johnny alive
worth $1000 to you?
Do you think you can buy him off?
Not for 10 times that much.
- Doc isn't here for profit.
- Well, what then?
That superstition of his.
If I can get him into a game,
start him winning and keep him winning
maybe you'll have time
to talk sense into Johnny.
Maybe get him out of town
for a few days.
Can you do it?
If you happen to have a marked deck
and don't mind loosing $1000.
I'll get the money.
BRET: Doc Holliday's particular brand
of poison was double deadly
because Doc himself
really wanted to die.
To die quick instead of slow
from a sickness that had no cure.
Doc hated the world because he knew
it'd go on living after he was gone
and it made him mad
to see anybody healthy.
These cheerful thoughts
passed through my mind
as I prepared to cheat him at cards.
What's taking him so long?
Mr. Johnson regrets the delay
but he's in the middle of a meeting.
Can't break away.
- Of course, if you can't wait, Doc
- I can wait.
Half the pleasure's the anticipation,
you know.
I'm sure he's looking forward
to seeing you.
- Who's up there with him?
- The boss.
- Who's the girl you were with?
- The boss.
You said it was a business meeting.
Well, business has its brighter side.
[CHUCKLES]
He's a lucky man.
Uh, speaking of luck, Doc
ahh, would you like to try yours?
Kill time.
Never kill time, friend.
Qr it'll end up killing you.
Well, there's a difference between
wasting it and spending it.
Who knows, a few minutes here
might even be an investment.
- Not for me.
- Might make a killing.
How true.
But no thanks.
I've been having
a brutal losing streak.
Is that a fact? Me too.
Why, my luck's been so bad
I'll bet that it's worse than yours.
And I'll just bet it isn't.
One time, dealer man.
Blackjack.
- What'd I tell you?
- What'd I tell you?
You were betting on the losing hand.
You win, Doc.
Why not.
I'm not going anywhere.
- He's going for it.
- Three cheers.
Stop it!
I'm paying $1000
to give you time to cool off
not to build up a head of steam.
- I want my money's worth.
- And you always get it too. Plenty of it.
Now, listen.
Shields and Cane
will be back tomorrow.
If they have the information I sent
them out for, we'll all have plenty.
- Juicy pie, hmm?
- Mm-hm.
Like mother used to make.
If this setup's as good as I think it is
I can take my half and set myself up
in a place in Frisco twice this size.
Your half.
That brings up another small point
I don't like cutting the second half
three ways with Shields and Cane.
- Is that a fact?
- That's a fact.
I take all the chances and for what?
For one third of half, it's not worth it.
What would be worth it, Johnny?
Half for me
you can cut the other half
any way you want.
- That's generous.
- All you do is set them up.
I do the job.
You sit back and grow long fingernails
while I'm ducking a short rope.
I had to kill a man the last time out.
Seems to be a difference
of opinion on that.
You can't know how it was.
You weren't there.
- No, but Shields and Cane were.
- Then let them handle the next one.
- You know they can't.
- I know.
That's why I want half, Cora.
You want a lot, Johnny.
You always thought I was worth it.
Not now.
Give me time to think.
Eighteen.
Four winners on a double split.
- You're a hard man to beat, Doc.
- I've never seen such luck.
Just can't seem to lose tonight.
- You're on a winning streak, all right.
- Hmm.
At a time like this.
[GULPS]
You wanted to see me, Doc?
Yes, Mr. Johnson.
I believe we have some
unfinished business.
If you say so.
No hurry.
I'm getting some lucky cards
here tonight.
We can settle up later.
If it's all the same to you,
let's settle up now.
It's not all the same to me.
I said, later.
Whenever you're ready, Doc.
[COUGHING]
Never fear, Mr. Johnson.
I'll be around till I ride out
this winning streak.
But before I leave town, I'll make
a special point of checking with you.
Anytime, Doc.
Anytime.
[ALL LAUGHING]
Pick up your cards, Doc.
I think I've got you beat.
Give the boys what they want
and put it on my tab.
I sure will. Come on, here.
Blackjack.
Oh.
[MAN LAUGHS]
I could take him on myself
if I had a mind to.
Deal.
You hush up, Ponca. You've had enough.
[CHUCKLES]
Enough? I ain't never had enough.
When you start talking
about taking on Doc Holliday
-that's the legal limit in this bar.
- No, sir.
You heard what my old friend
Stacey Johnson said.
I'm drinking up on him
and I ain't even started.
Yes, sir.
It was me that did it.
Me, Ponca Brown.
[CHUCKLES]
Shot it out with Doc Holliday
right there in Bandera.
After the smoke cleared away
there was just one man
standing where two stood before.
Me, Ponca Brown.
- Ponca. Ponca, go home now.
- Hmm. Hmm.
It's all over and you've won.
What more do you want?
All right.
Keep the newspaper boys away from me
until after I rest up.
Sure. Sure, I'll do that.
Now you go on home, hmm?
Stand.
Push.
[GUNSHOT]
Are you a bad shot or what, mister?
- Take a look over your shoulder, Doc.
PONCA: No.
No, Doc, you got it all wrong.
I wasn't aiming to shoot you.
Heh, not me,
I wouldn't do a thing like that.
I wouldn't shoot you in the back.
Not me, Doc, honest.
Why didn't you kill him?
Well, he's kind of a friend of mine.
You're wrong. You have no friends.
Only two kinds of people in the West,
Mr. Martin.
The quick and the dead.
You seem to have saved my life.
Why?
Well, I was afraid he might miss you
and hit me.
[BOTH LAUGHING]
- Shall we finish our game?
- Let's call it a night, I've had enough.
Let's just fold up this lucky deck
and come back to it in the morning, huh?
[GULPS]
Very disappointed in you.
- Disappointed, Doc?
- Yes.
It isn't often I think enough of anyone
to be disappointed in him.
But you've done it.
You're a very dishonest man.
You've been cheating me, Mr. Martin,
with marked cards.
Cheating you?
Doc, you've been winning all night.
That's how you've been cheating me.
You've been playing on
a personal weakness of mine
to cheat me
out of what I came here to do.
You and your friend, Mr. Johnson,
who had everybody laughing at me
when he walked out of here tonight.
All right. So I kept you two
from killing each other.
- Seemed like a good idea at the time.
- Cash my chips, dealer man.
We'll call my winning streak
officially over.
- Even though it never really began.
- Real or not
you're nearly a thousand dollars richer.
DOC:
Too bad you've wasted it.
You know, it really doesn't matter
why a man cheats me.
Does it matter that he saved your life?
For that dubious favor,
I'll grant a small bonus.
I'm going to leave town in the morning.
But before I do
I'm gonna complete the business
I came here to transact.
And if, Mr. Martin
I happen to see you here
on the streets
or anywhere I happen to be
I'll deal with you exactly
as I intend to deal with your friend.
If on the other hand
I don't happen to see you
I'll just ride out of town and forget you.
And that, Mr. Martin
is a better deal than the one
you've been giving me here tonight.
[SIGHS]
- You can go now, Gus, it's all right.
- Yes, ma'am.
[DOOR CLOSES]
You play a cool game, Bret.
- Then why am I sweating?
- You're cool when it counts.
Not like Johnny.
He's a hothead, reckless.
I'll admit he overplayed his hand.
It's typical.
That's why I want you to take his place.
I told you this job was only temporary.
Oh, this job means nothing.
I want you to take his place
in the things that matter.
What are the things that matter?
- What's important?
- Money?
Say, $10,000?
Cut that in a half, split it three ways,
and that's Johnny's cut of our
last outside deal.
The next one's even bigger.
- Are you intrigued?
- Who do I have to rob?
- Does it matter?
- No.
Then Johnny's share is your share.
If you're in, Johnny's out.
I'm in.
I'm glad.
We have two other partners.
I'll give you the details
when they get back into town.
- When will that be?
- In the morning.
- There's just one thing I regret.
- What's that?
Spending $1000 to keep Johnny alive
before I found out I didn't need him.
BRET: Lady Macbeth was an ingénue
compared to this one
and now everything clicked.
Chances were that her office safe
was stuffed with the same kind of money
that had nearly put my neck
in a noose.
Lock the door on your way out, Bret.
[DOOR CLOSES]
BRET: One hour later,
I let myself into Cora's office.
She was asleep by now.
Looking as sweet and innocent
as a newborn vulture.
I once spent three days
in a Tucson jail
with a man who claimed
he could crack any safe ever made.
If I'd known then
that I'd ever have to crack one
I’d have listened more closely
when he told me how.
Now I was wishing I had.
Three hours later,
I had the first two digits.
And the sun was already up.
People were walking around
on the street out there
and maybe one of them
was Doc Holliday looking for me.
But worse yet
I could hear Cora
stirring around in there.
I just have to take my chances on that.
Then I had it.
The money was there.
Same serial numbers issued by
that same independence Bank
in packs of 10s, 20s and 50s.
All I needed for evidence was
one bill of each denomination.
She'd never miss them.
What are you doing here?
Why, just coming in to see you, Cora.
How did you get in?
Gus let me in.
He's already opened up downstairs.
Stand over there.
Morning.
Hello, Gus.
- Anything wrong, Miss Cora?
- No.
Everything's all right.
- It's a little early for a visit, isn't it, Bret?
- Why not.
Thought we'd start the day right
celebrate our new partnership
over breakfast.
All right.
I'll send Gus over to Harvey House.
- Oh, I'll go.
- You can't.
Do you mean because of Doc Holliday?
He's out there,
looking for you and Johnny.
Well, he won't be up yet.
That's why I'm here so early.
What'll it be, steak and eggs?
Fine.
Why don't you tell Gus
to give you a bottle of champagne.
This is beginning to be a beautiful day.
Let's give it a good send-off.
I'll be right back.
BRET: All I had to do now
was to get my horse, ride for Quallary
and give my evidence to the marshal.
It was easy.
If I didn't happen to run into
Doc Holliday on the way.
MARSHAL:
Maverick.
Where are you heading
in such a hurry?
Marshal, you're not gonna
believe this
but I was heading for Quallary
to find you.
- Now, why would you wanna do that?
- Oh, to clear myself.
- I've got proof now.
- So have I, you're already cleared.
What?
Picked up two men last night.
Shields and Cane.
Told us all we had to know.
We came for the other one,
Stacey Johnson.
And the girl, Cora Beth.
Bring her down, boys.
Way I hear it, we'll find
the rest of the money up there too.
Just so it comes out even
here's the bills I was bringing to you
to back up my story.
You've been a busy boy, Maverick.
Yeah, uh
Marshal, is there any reason
why I have to wait?
See, I'm in kind of a hurry to leave town.
You in some new kind of trouble?
Yeah, and I don't think I'm gonna
have time to tell you about it.
Oh.
I've given you trouble enough.
You're free to go.
Marshal, anybody ever tell you
you're a very handsome man?
- So I was wrong about you.
- I'm sorry, Cora.
I was wrong about another thing.
This isn't a beautiful day.
MARSHAL:
Take her away, boys.
Just leave your hands where they are.
Now step out.
Slowly.
Now unbuckle your gun belt
and drop it.
I knew I didn't like you,
but I didn't know why.
But now I know. You're a lawman.
Does it make any difference
that I'm not a lawman?
Don't waste your time.
I saw those tin stars take Cora away.
What are you gonna do about it?
We're gonna take a little ride together.
Just out of town.
Just far enough where nobody
will hear this gun when it goes off.
Now mount up.
DOC:
Mr. Johnson.
I'm surprised at you, Mr. Johnson.
You aren't thinking of leaving town
before our business is completed.
Well, aren't you even gonna
look at me, Mr. Johnson?
There, you see?
I don't have a gun in my hand.
But you have one in yours.
Just turn it toward me.
How about it, Mr. Johnson?
Aren't you gonna back me down again?
Like you did in Fort Griffin?
Just turn the gun and pull the trigger.
That's all you have to do.
Well, Mr. Johnson. I'm waiting.

[HORSE NEIGHS]
[GUN COCKS]
Now, dealer man,
pick up your gun belt.
Well, aren't you gonna put it on?
[LAUGHING]
[DOC COUGHS]
I just knew you would.
I didn't know I had any choice, Doc.
I was wrong, wasn't I?
- To think you and he were friends.
- You were wrong.
I remember now.
Your name's not Martin, it's Maverick.
That's right.
Well, my business in Bandera
seems to be finished.
- How about yours?
- It's finished too.
Which way?
Well, I figured I'd ride on
toward Dodge City.
I hear they got a pretty good game
going on up there.
Mind if I ride along with you?
