Paden gives Cobb an odd glance but smiles.

PADEN
It evened out in the end. They locked me up, but the dog sprung me.

Cobb and Slick laugh, but Stella just watches Paden.

STELLA
Where’s the dog now?

PADEN
He left me.

Cobb takes the bottle and a couple glasses.

SHERIFF COBB
C’mon, Paden, I’ll buy you a drink.

Cobb leads Paden to a table in the corner. As Paden sits down, Cobb drops the pouch on the table. Paden glances at
the contents as Cobb pours the drinks.

SHERIFF COBB
I took out thirteen dollars.

PADEN
This is a lot of money.

SHERIFF COBB
I told you this was a sweet set-up.

PADEN
It is that.

SHERIFF COBB
Maybe you could run it without Stella.

Paden looks sharply at Cobb. With some heat —

PADEN
This is her life. I’ll go before she does.

Cobb is amused but not surprised.

SHERIFF COBB
Easy, boy. Just an idea.

PADEN
Well, thanks, but forget it.
