INT. HOTEL - NIGHT
PALADIN enters hotel and walks to reception.
PALADIN: In what room is POLLYANNA?
CLERK: I'm sorry, sir, but she's not here. She's most likely at her ranch this time of night.
PALADIN: (grabbing the shirt of clerk) One last time. In what room is POLLYANNA?
CLERK: 10.
PALADIN climbs stairs and goes to room 10 and enters it.
INT. ROOM 10 - NIGHT
PALADIN enters room 10. POLLYANNA is lying in bed in her night clothes and is mildly surprised to see PALADIN.
POLLYANNA: Well, this is a pleasant surprise. I can't say I'm disappointed either.
PALADIN: I wanted you to know your friend won't be coming tonight.
POLLYANNA: What friend are you talking about?
PALADIN: Well, it's not BIG DAN.
POLLYANNA: So, why is my friend not coming tonight?
PALADIN: I told him to go home to his wife.
POLLYANNA: And he did...just like that?
PALADIN: You could say I didn't give him much of a choice.
POLLYANNA: What a coward! Well, you're here. Why don't you stay. We have a lot to talk about.
PALADIN: Look, if you want a new husband, get a divorce and look for a single man.
POLLYANNA: You're so old fashioned.
PALADIN: Perhaps. But, I don't like to see people get hurt unnecessarily. Especially somebody like GRACE.
POLLYANNA: Who cares about GRACE?
PALADIN: I do.
POLLYANNA: On the other hand, you're single.
PALADIN: Yes, I'm single, but I'm not interested in staying here. Have a good evening.
PALADIN is set to leave the room.
POLLYANNA: (Shouting) PALADIN!
PALADIN: Quiet, POLLYANNA. You'll wake the other guests.
