Paladin, Chapter 6

INT. GENERAL STORE - DAY

POLLYANNA and another woman, GRACE, plain-looking and 40ish, are yelling at each other.  Charles intervenes.

CHARLES: GRACE, be quiet.  You, too, POLLYANNA.  

They are both silenced.

CHARLES: PALADIN, my wife, GRACE.  

PALADIN: Pleasure, ma'am.

PALADIN grabs POLLYANNA's arm and escorts her out of the store.

EXT. IN FRONT OF GENERAL STORE - DAY

PALADIN: You've got some explaining to do, lady.  

POLLYANNA: Don't know what you're talking about.

PALADIN: Glad I made you pay in advance.  I'm about to get on my horse and head back to San Francisco right now if you don't start telling me the truth.

POLLYANNA: Go fuck yourself.  And you owe me a $1,000.  

PALADIN: First, I don't give refunds.  Second, I'll figure some way to give you something in value for the $1,000 you paid me.  In the mean time, you'll have to excuse me.

PALADIN leaves POLLYANNA in the street, takes his horse and walks across the street to the hotel and enters.
