It's a betcome on, Sally!
Nice girl, that I'd hate to see <U>her</U> get a raw deal. You know, the great trouble with crooks is they're <U>too</U> smart. Now if I'd taken that bracelet, I'd find some way to slip it backI'd know I could never get ashore with it.
Anybody that's taken the trouble to get it would be a mug to put it back.
Thought you might need medon't talk, kid, and don't let him scare you
Don't be too smart, Jimmyyou're out in the rough yourself. You had an argument with Lother a couple of hours before he was killedbut I'll deal with that later
Don't get yourself all worked up
You keep out of this You admit you thought of killing himhow were you going to do it?
Mmmmmmmmmhm.... Now, Jimmy, what were you doing in that corridor before the shots were fired?
Why, I
Here's your fifty.
Thanks. That makes us square.
Come in!
Hope I didn't keep you waiting.
I'll bet a couple of hundred I wonder what's keeping that boy.
Don't worry about that. We'll settle after the hand. Out in Montana where I come from a man's word is all that's necessary. What have you got?
Three Jacks.
That beats two Pairs. I'm glad <U>I</U> didn't win the first pot. Take the money, Mr. Brett.
It's your deal.
It's a pleasure.
How's your mother feeling?
Much betterthank you
Well, to tell you the truth, gentlemen, I've sworn off playing poker.

I thought you were a sucker
Think again
That goes two ways.
Make it three, boysI'll play this hand pat.

Don't you know better than to talk to me with people around?

A thousand? She's one in a millionright off the top of the rosebush!
This is a business trip!
She was wearing a white dress with a cute, black hat and carrying a bag with S. M. on it. Funnyher name's not on the passenger list.
Maybe she's in the showOne of the troupersdid you ever think of that?

Heredrop it where they'll find it and return it to him. He's not a bad egg. I'll ship him back the fifty before we arrive.
You take some awful chances.
