INT. HOTEL ROOM - DAY
When PALADIN opens door to his hotel room, he is confronted by BIG DAN, large and heavy-set, who is sitting in a chair at the far end of the room next to a picture window.
PALADIN: Who are you and what are you doing in my room?
BIG DAN: I'm BIG DAN and what are you doin' in my town...with my woman?
PALADIN: Your wife hired me in San Francisco. I suggest you discuss her reasons with her. Now, I also suggest you get out of my room.
BIG DAN: You fuck her in San Francisco?
PALADIN: My relationship with POLLYANNA is purely professional. As I said, I suggest you talk to her about why she hired me.
PALADIN gives BIG DAN his card, who then reads it.
Paladin pivots to be ready to draw his gun. BIG DAN rises from his chair.
BIG DAN: Well...did you fuck my wife?
PALADIN: That is a very crude remark. I do not fuck women. I make love to them, and I do it very well. To answer your question, I did not fuck your wife. Now, for the last time, get out of my room.
BIG DAN: If you're trying to scare me, I don't scare. I'm the one who's scary.
PALADIN: I don't think you're scary, just big, an accident of birth.
BIG DAN: Alright. But I better get the same answer from POLLYANNA. I'll be seein' you again...PALADIN.
BIG DAN slowly leaves the room. PALADIN takes a deep breath.
