SHERIFF COBB
You’re the one who killed old Murdo McKendrick.

Paden watches as the two men let that hang between them.

EMMETT
Didn’t have much choice. He was about to shoot my brother in the back.

SHERIFF COBB
Can’t be having that now can we?

Stella appears with Kelly, who speaks to Cobb.

KELLY
You wanted to see me?

SHERIFF COBB
We’re going to make some adjustments. I wanted you to be here when I offered Paden your job. I think he could do
it without getting greedy. Stella and I are tired of you skimming our profits.

Stella is surprised. The charge is true, but she didn’t know this was coming.

KELLY
What are you talking about?

SHERIFF COBB
I’m done talking. Get out.

KELLY
You can’t do this.

SHERIFF COBB
(smiling)
Really?

Without warning Cobb hits Kelly viciously in the stomach. Stella jumps. Cobb grabs the doubled-over Kelly by the hair
and the belt, and propels him out of the saloon, letting go before Kelly crashes through the swinging doors and into the street. Cobb comes back toward the table as though nothing had happened.
