Plot: Maverick is recreated from the character James Garner created in the 1950s TV program. Maverick is a gambler who would rather con someone than fight them. He needs an additional three thousand dollars in order to enter a Winner Take All poker game that begins in a few days. He tries to win some, tries to collect a few debts, and recover a little loot for the reward, all with a light hearted air. He joins forces with a woman gambler with a marvelous, though fake, southern accent as the two both try and enter the game.

Quotes:
Angel: Almost got hung once myself. Didn't care for it much.
Annabelle: There isn't a Mrs. Maverick is there?::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.
Maverick: I've just noticed something.::Annabelle: What?::Maverick: You can't help it can you? You are irresistible.
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: You're babbling.::Maverick: No I wasn't.
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.
Stable Boy: [Yelling] Pa, this man wants to know if you want to buy a burro.::Stable owner: That burro ain't worth a dollar!::Maverick: Well, sir, I say you got yourself a deal.::Stable owner: Here's your dollar.::Maverick: Well, he doesn't eat much, but he's a regular jackass, and hee-haw, hee-haw, he hawlways likes to be called Arthur.
Maverick: Oh, what the hell! I feel like being silly. I'll call... Uh... [clearing his throat] It's just a pair of sixes. If you can beat that you got me licked, and that's not a totally unpleasant prospect.
Annabelle: Well, they're Indians. They probably just stole the ponies!::Maverick: Not everybody's like you, Mrs. Bransford.::Annabelle: What is it with you and Indians anyway?::Maverick: Oh, nothing. I try and shoot one a day, if possible, before noon. How 'bout you, Coop? I figure it's their fault for being on our land before we got here.
Maverick: See that hawk? You know what it means?::Annabelle: No. What does it mean?::Maverick: Nothing. But you didn't know that did you?
