EMMETT
It never is. But he’s my brother.
(Paden reacts)
We’re going to California together. But first we’re going to stop in Silverado and see our sister. And I can’t show up there with a story like this.
Paden nods. He is sympathetic.
PADEN
Then I guess this is where we part ways. Sorry.
EMMETT
No hard feelings.
PADEN
C’mon, I’ll buy you a drink.
EMMETT
You haven’t got any money.
PADEN
All right, you buy me a drink.
They cross the street toward the crowded, noisy saloon.
PADEN
You know, a good smelly saloon is my favorite place in the world.
INT. SALOON/HOTEL – NIGHT
This is the busiest place in town, really packed.
