LANGSTON
Don’t press your luck, Carter.

Langston moves to Emmett and Paden’s table and pulls up a chair. He lifts the last biscuit from a basket. He takes a fastidious bite.

LANGSTON
Now let’s talk about you chaps.

PADEN
We’d rather stay.

LANGSTON
We’ll see about that. I’m Sheriff John Langston. As you may have guessed, I am not from these parts.

PADEN
You’re kidding.

LANGSTON
(ignoring that)
But the good citizens of Turley have taken me in their embrace, and for one simple reason. I maintain the peace. So when strangers come to town, I always ask them their business. Have you come for the hanging?

EMMETT
(“no”)
I’m just meeting a guy here and moving on. So far I haven’t been able to find him.

LANGSTON
Well, in my town, if you’re looking for someone, you ask me.

EMMETT
All right. I’m looking for a young fella, full of juice. About my size, wears a fancy two-gun rig.
