Quotes 

• [to avoid a deadlocked jury, Maverick bets he can prove Pike's logic is flawed using a card trick] 

  Pike : Five pat hands in these 25 cards? No. No, I don't.

  Bret Maverick : I'll bet another 500, and Bill Gregg's life, that there is.

  Price : Oh, wait a second, Maverick. You're a gambler and can risk your cash, but you can't put up a man's life against...

  Pike : Look, hold on. Wait a minute. Wait. This is between Maverick and me. He named it. What do you mean, Gregg's life?

• Price : For a while there, I thought we never would reach a verdict.

  Bret Maverick : Well, hanging the jury would've better than hanging Billy.
