It went on, a slow game, a game of nerves and of strategy. Money kept trying to distract him.

“Are you worried? I know I would be. You’ve got a lot at stake here.”

“I’m not scared,” said Victor. In fact, he was getting a little nervous. He’d never thought the contest would last this long.

“But your soul. That’s a big wager. Maybe you’re betting over your head.”

“You don’t scare me.”

“I’m not trying to scare you. I’m trying to let you know that I appreciate the seriousness of your convictions. For me, basketball has always just been a game. I don’t let it obsess me the way you do. That’s why I’m going to win, because I have less at stake. I’m more relaxed.”

“If it was just a game to you, how come you came out here to find me?” Victor went to the foul line, stood with his back to the basket, and put the ball in backward, over his head.

“Well,” said Money, “isn’t that special?” He tried the shot and missed.

“D-E for you,” said Victor.
