PROPRIETOR
This n*****’s breaking up my place, Sheriff Langston.
LANGSTON
I don’t like that word much, Carter.
PROPRIETOR
We don’t serve them here and you know it. I asked him to leave and he went crazy on us. He owes me money
for this damage.
LANGSTON
Is that a fact?
EMMETT
‘Fraid not, Sheriff. These other fellas started the ruckus.
Langston’s attention focuses on Emmett and Paden.
LANGSTON
Are these your friends?
MAL
(shakes his head “no”)
I wanted a drink and a bed. I guess I came to the wrong place.
LANGSTON
(taking in the mess)
Came to the wrong town. I don’t tolerate this kind of thing. It’s hard on the peace, and it’s hard on the furniture. Now, knowing a bit about Carter here, I’m going to let you go without paying for the damages. But go you will, and I mean now.
MAL
Is there a place in town that takes… my kind?
LANGSTON
You misunderstand. I want you out of town. In fact, I want you all the way out of my jurisdiction.
MAL
(seething)
That ain’t right.
LANGSTON
I decide what’s right in this jurisdiction.
