Ok, but you might not get anothr shot.......



Why does Sidney ssay this to billy?
They know they're gonna alternate shots.

Unless does he mean: "I'm not gonna offer it again"?

Usually the person who shoots first decides the tempo. Sydney was pretty much saying if I shoot first you are gonna have to make all your shots because I'm gonna make all mine.

I even took that to mean one more thing over and above what has been previously mentioned. In the event that both were to have successfully netted 5 shots each, Sidney would have won regardless. Don't ask me why I have come up with this explanation, but from the time "that line" was announced, that was my immediate impression.
