[first lines]

[Yancy and Farr are playing in a high-stakes poker game]

Wayland Farr:
Two pair - I check to the queens, Mr. Derringer.

Yancy Derringer:
Mr. Farr, I'm just going to have to bet... a thousand dollars.

Wayland Farr:
Well, you know, that's a bit embarrassing. I'm a little short of cash.

Yancy Derringer:
And at a very bad time.

Wayland Farr:
I make it a practice of never writing a draft at the poker table.

Yancy Derringer:
I make it a practice of never accepting one.

Wayland Farr:
I tell you what I'll do. I'll put up something worth more than a thousand dollars.

Yancy Derringer:
That would be a thousand and one dollars.
