Maverick

Annabelle Bransford: There isn't a Mrs. Maverick is there? Bret Maverick: Oh I'm sure I would have remembered. The Archduke: What's greatest Western thrill of all? Joseph: Kill Indians! The Archduke: Kill Indians? Is it legal? Joseph: Oh, white man been doing it for years! Bret Maverick: I've just noticed something! Annabelle Bransford: What? Bret Maverick: You can't help it can you? You are irresistible! Bret Maverick: I've only got one gun, that's 6 bullets. They're six, that's 36 bullets. Maybe they've got two guns, that's 72 bullets, maybe they've got rifles... Annabelle Bransford: You're babbling! Bret Maverick: No I wasn't! Bret Maverick: Oh, you sure do pick the spots! Joseph: Yeah, I know. You know the next time you people come and drive us off our land I'm gonna find a nice piece of swamp that's so God-awful, maybe then you'll leave us the hell alone! Bret Maverick: See that hawk? You know what it means? Annabelle Bransford: No. What does it mean? Bret Maverick: Nothing! But you didn't know that did you? Annabelle Bransford: What's with you and Indians anyway? Bret Maverick: Oh nothing, I try to shoot one every day before noon, how about you Coop? I figured it was their fault too... for being on our land when we got here. Bret Maverick: From the moment I slapped eyes on this hombre, I smelled trouble. And re-fried beans. Bret Maverick: So, are you gonna miss me? Annabelle Bransford: Are you gonna miss me? Bret Maverick: You ARE gonna miss me! Bret Maverick: Now, there's something I want you to do for me. Annabelle Bransford: Never. I am a lady. Not if you were a hundred years old, not if I was a hundred years old - Bret Maverick: Calm down, lady. I don't want to sleep with you. Annabelle Bransford: Why not? Bret Maverick: Why not? Who knows what parts of me you'd steal next. I'd wake up with all sorts of things missing. [Just like in _Lethal Weapon_ (qv) and its sequels] Bank Robber: I'm getting too old for this shit. Bret Maverick: Lord...whatever I've done to piss you off...if you could just get me out of this and somehow let me know what it was I promise to rectify the situation. Annabelle Bransford: If I can't touch you, I can touch your shirt and dream. Angel: You always been gutless? Bret Maverick: Yeah, I think so. Well, for as long as I can remember anyway. My old Pappy used to say, "He who fights and runs away can run away another day." Bret Maverick: Well, now, I bring all sorts of plusses to the table. I hardly ever bluff and I never ever cheat. ~ Home ~ Movies ~ Songs ~ Anonymous ~ Women ~ ~ Friendship ~ Life and Success ~ Poems ~ Shakespeare ~ Star Trek ~
