ONE:
PAYNE flicks his blade across SABRE’S face; SABRE’S head is snapping to the side.
1. PAYNE: —your prize—
TWO:
On SABRE, looking at us again. She’s ticked. Payne cut her cheek, blood running now.
2. PAYNE/off: —and your life!
3. SABRE: If you are not willing to pay, Mister Payne…
THREE:
PAYNE is reaching down for the MAP CASE with his blood-covered hand.
SABRE’S blade is slicing the back of his hand.
4. SABRE/off: …you should not play!
5. PAYNE: aah!
Oh my goodness.That second panel is beyond perfect.That piercing hard look in her eyes and that line of red on her cheek left me with a chill.
Outstanding
Very nice use of a limited set of colors.
now they both have their Heidelberg scars.
“Dammit, Payne, I wanted to get my dramatic facial scar from someone IMPORTANT.”
OK, this made me ROAR with laughter….
Mr Payne seems to have lost his smile.
He’s having an emotional day, I think….
Bruce Lee moment 😀
