THIS WEEK’S HOST: Paul Francis Sullivan of the Bull Durham Minute Podcast

SHERIFF COBB

just to pay me back that money, did you?
(turns to Kelly)
Kelly, meet my friend Paden.

KELLY
(cool)
Howdy.

SHERIFF COBB
Give the man a line of credit. He already owes the house thirteen bucks.

Kelly casts a wary, appraising glance over Paden, nods, and moves off.

SHERIFF COBB
You got a place to stay?

PADEN
I just got to town.

SHERIFF COBB
Stella, we still got an extra room out back, don’t we?

STELLA
It’s not in use at the moment.

Cobb comes around the end of the bar to stand next to Stella.

SHERIFF COBB
What brings you into my saloon?

PADEN
Luck, I guess.

SHERIFF COBB
(cackles at this)
Good old Paden. I was hoping you’d changed your mind about the job.

PADEN
You didn’t tell me you owned a saloon.

Cobb looks at Paden a long time and laughs.

SHERIFF COBB
That ain’t the half of it, friend.

He turns away, taking off his coat, and hangs it on a peg back there. When he turns back, rolling up his sleeves, our
eyes are drawn to the same thing as Paden’s: a shiny, silver sheriff’s star.

SHERIFF COBB
Welcome to heaven.
