- Quotes
Bret Maverick: I'll call, sixteen thousand.
Samantha Crawford: You're looking at my hand, Mr. Maverick, a pair of nines.
Bret Maverick: I wasn't bluffing, Miss Crawford. Sorry, I do have the nine.
[Maverick turns over his hole card to show he's completed a straight]
Samantha Crawford: I didn't think you were, Mr. Maverick.
Bret Maverick: And you raised in to me?
Samantha Crawford: According to Hoyle, remember?
[Samantha reads from her copy of 'Hoyle's Book of Games']
Samantha Crawford: "In five-card stud poker, straights are not played unless it's determined at the commencement of the game that they be admitted." See for yourself, Mr. Maverick.
The title of the episode is taken from Mr. Hoyle's book of rules for various games. Brewster actually beats Bret Maverick out of a big pot by quoting something from the book. When verified Garner has to concede. It's on the order of Billy Martin making George Brett lose that home run because of pine tar.
But Maverick decides there are bigger fish to fry such as crooked gambler Ted DeCorsia. Garner enlists Brewster to help as well as Leo Gordon as big Mike McComb who also made a few appearances in that part.
How it comes out is for you to see, but it's a close run thing.
