Alias the Deacon, adapted from the stage play by John B. Hymer and Leroy Clemens. It stars Martha O'Dreskull as Phyllis, Charles Winninger as Deacon Caswell, and Noah Bury Jr as Johnny, the Lady Esther Screen Guild Clairs in Alias the Deacon.

I must say my friends, this situation is most edifying. The mathematical possibilities of the game of poker force me to... Hey, you'll skip the big talk, please, just play. Dear me, dear me, I'm afraid I shall have to raise you one nickel.

I'm turning your block. I'll raise you one vice-sence. Ah, yes. In the true sporting tradition of your noble Greek ancestors. I'll stay, I'm in the cards. Two, both aces. Two cards, my dear fellow. There you are.

I am a new taker. I believe I have sufficient here. You stand pat? I'm afraid so. You forgive me if I wage you the large sum of one quarter? Are you like that all the time? Four races, full house, a big flush. I'm quick. I'm a throaty street. Yes, it's away.

And according to the precepts of Brother Hoyle, I do believe these shackles are mine. Just for fun. Why do you have Parsons? No, not Parsons, my dear sir. Just playing decan. Okay, okay. Why are you got, huh?
