Game "A Piece of the Action" Line-by-Line

[Athena28]

KIRK: Oh, yes, yes. I wouldn't waste my time.

 

[Catarina]

KALO: Who's asking you?

 

[retroenzo]

KIRK: On Beta Antares Four, they play a real game. It's a man's game, but of course it's probably a little beyond you. It requires intelligence.

 

[Catarina]

KALO: Listen, Kirk, I can play anything you can figure out. Take the cards, big man. Show us how it's played.

 

[mattman8907]

SPOCK: I'm familiar with the culture on Beta Antares. There aren't games

 

[Catarina]

KIRK: Spock. Spock. (sits) Of course, the cards on Beta Antares Four are different, but not too different. The name of the game is called fizzbin.

 

[mattman8907]

KALO: Fizzbin?

 

[Catarina]

KIRK: Fizzbin. It's not too difficult. (begins dealing) Each player gets six cards, except for the player on the dealer's right, who gets seven.

 

[mattman8907]

KALO: On the right.

 

[retroenzo]

KIRK: Yes. The second card is turned up, except on Tuesdays.

 

[Catarina]

KALO: On Tuesday

 

[mattman8907]

KIRK: Oh, look what you got, two jacks. You got a half fizzbin already.

 

[Catarina]

KALO: I need another jack.

 

[mattman8907]

KIRK: No, no. If you got another jack, why, you'd have a sralk.

 

[Catarina]

KALO: A sralk?

 

[mattman8907]

KIRK: Yes. You'd be disqualified. Now what You need now is a king and a deuce, except at night of course, when you'd need a queen and a four.

 

[Athena28]

KALO: Except at night.

 

[mattman8907]

KIRK: Right. Oh, look at that. You've got another jack. How lucky you are! How wonderful for you. Now If you didn't get another jack, if you'd gotten a king, why then you'd get another card, except when it's dark, when you'd have to give it back.

 

[Stephen Lee]

KALO: If it were dark on Tuesday.

 

[mattman8907]

KIRK: Yes, but what you're after is a royal fizzbin, but the odds in getting a royal fizzbin are astron. Spock, what are the odds in getting a royal fizzbin?
