Here is a little tidbit from a new poker script I'm working on. It stars Edward Norton as 'Bruce Banner', a scientist who is trying to get his life in order after a freak accident using gamma rays. He took time off from the lab to marry his then girlfriend, Betty Ross, played by Liv Tyler. During his break, Bruce discovers poker while at a friends house and realizes that he has a natural knack for crunching numbers and does exceptionally well. This gives him the confidence to try his luck at the
wsop.
The movie is tittled:
The ALL-INcredible HULK
The scene takes place at a local casino during a tournament. Bruce is in hand with a stack that is slightly larger than his. They are only 6 spots away from the final table. 1st place takes home $200K
Villain: (Looks down at JJ in the CO) I raise it to 550K
Bruce: (On the Button, looks down at AA) Are you really trying to CO steal, bro? Lets make it 1.55 Million.
(Both of the blinds fold)
Villain: Bruce. What are you doing? This is a man's game, go home. Look under your microscope or whatever it is you do. Tell you what, I'll make it easier for you, I raise it to 3.925 Million.
Bruce: All right, all right. I'll just call. I don't know, you could have me beat and I hate to go home right now. (Bruce slowly slides the chips in.)
The flop: 10 D 9C 7 H
Villain: Ok, Bruce. I check to you. Let's see what the "BIG MAN" wants to do.
Bruce: (Quietly puts out a 5 million chip bet)
Villain: I call.
The turn: Qd
Villain: (Looks at Bruce's stack) Ok, I check again. How bad do you want this pot, Bruce?
Bruce: (Thinks for a second) I'm all in. All in for 11.6 million.
Villain: (Whistles) That's a pretty steep bet but I think I have you, Bruce. I think I do. I call.
(A gasp can be heard echoing through out the silent casino as everyone looks on.)
Villain: I have JJ. (Flips over his hand)
Bruce: (Laughs) I think I have you beat. (Flips over his hand to show the villain the bad news)
Villain: Oh!
(Slow motion as the dealer peels of the burn card, then slowly turns over the river)
The river: 8d
Villain: Yes! Yes! Yes! In your face, Bruce! In your face! Hey-is he crying? Bruce Banner is crying everyone!
Bruce: (Is seen with his face buried in his hat, breathing heavily to himself.) No...no I'm not crying...(Bruce drops the hat to show red, soulless eyes staring back at the villain.)
Villain: Hey, man...wait
Bruce: (Lets out a monster roar; his pain, agony, and frustration can be heard echoing throughout the walls)
AUGHAHAHAHAHGHHGH! (His cloths rip of his body as his muscles increase in size. His once thin, rice paper flesh is now a dark, emerald color. He is no longer a man, but a monster.)
"BAD BEAT!" "HULK HATE BAD BEAT!!"
Villain: No! No!
Hulk: (Punches the villain in the chest. In one smooth motion, one man because a fraction.)
"RAWRRR!!"
There is chaos in the casino as everyone scatters to get away, but the Hulk easily kills everyone in his path. He lifts up a dealer table and throws it against the doors, jamming it. There is no escape for anyone.
Woman: Oh, GOD! He's killing us all!!
The sound of casinos slot machines are soon drowned out the sounds of terrified screams, bones break, and flesh ripping. And then it's silent.
...This is as far as I got.
