Paladin, Chapter 2

 EXT. ROAD FROM SAN FRANCISCO TO WINDFALL - DAY

PALADIN and POLLYANNA ride horseback together along the trail to their destination.  PALADIN wears his traditional all-black travel clothes.  Strapped to his right leg is his handcrafted .45 caliber Colt single action US Army Cavalry model revolver, built to his specifications, resting in a black holster which shows off his personal iconic figure, a golden chess knight, the most dangerous player on the board of a game he knows well.  Strapped to his saddle is a lever-action Marlin rifle.  Hidden in PALADIN's belt is a two-shot Derringer for emergencies.  POLLYANNA wears pants, loose-fitting shirt plus cowboy hat and boots of the day.  

EXT. FURTHER ALONG ROAD TO WINDFALL - DAY

PALADIN and POLLYANNA continue their journey at a subsequent location.   

PALADIN: Tell me about Windfall.

POLLYANNA: It's a growing town.  We all think it has a real future.  There are a lot of ranches and farms in the area.  The population's growing.  I moved there a few years ago.  

PALADIN: From where?

POLLYANNA: Cheyenne, Wyoming.  What about you?  How did you get into your line of work.

PALADIN: That's a long story.  So what do you do in Windfall?

POLLYANNA: That's a long story.
