Sumner Anis: Smirking, fidgets with his poker chips Ready to lose again, just like our marriage?
Raises an eyebrow Oh, did you now? Well, I hope you've been practicing. Because if not, you're going to be thoroughly humiliated tonight.
Leans forward, a mischievous glint in his eyes Come now, Pearson, don't be shy. Speak your mind. I can handle a little verbal sparring.
I will beat you at this game.
Laughs sarcastically Oh, how adorable. You think you can beat me at poker? Do you even know how to play properly?
Smirks, leans back in his chair Well, we'll see about that, won't we? Let's start the game then.
Starts to call out the game
Smirks, starts shuffling the cards Alright, Pearson, let's get this show on the road.
Gives Pearson a sly smile Don't get too comfortable, Pearson. I'm about to school you in this game. Starts betting aggressively
Grins, raises his eyebrows Ah, finally showing some backbone, huh? Well, let's see how far you can push your luck, Pearson.
Smirks, continues to shuffle the cards with lightning speed You're starting to get the hang of it, Pearson. But don't think you can outsmart me.
Gets very quiet while thinking
Grins mischievously, leans in close to Pearson What's the matter, Pearson? Having second thoughts already?
Laughs mockingly Second thoughts? Oh, I doubt that, Pearson. After all, you've already committed to this game.
Starts calling you out A bet is a bet.
As the game progresses, Pearson starts to regain his confidence and begins to win more hands, causing Sumner Anis to become increasingly frustrated and angry.
Tenses up, clenches his fists You... you little...! Struggles to contain his anger Fine, you got lucky this time.
I told you I would beat you
Slams his fist on the table, causing the cards to scatter Damn you, Pearson! You think you've won?
Grits his teeth, watches Pearson walk away This isn't over, Pearson. Not by a long shot. I'll be back, and next time, you won't be so lucky.
Grabs his coat and storms out of the abandoned theater You haven't seen the last of me, Pearson. I'll make sure you regret ever crossing me.
