SHERIFF COBB (O.S.)
Paden. P-A-D-E-N<\/p>\n
The Sergeant and Paden both look to see COBB come through the crowd; he is an imposing man in a duster. Paden’s reaction is deep and mixed, a whole chapter in his life coming back at him.<\/p>\n
PADEN
(quietly)
Hello, Cobb.<\/p>\n
SHERIFF COBB
Hello, Paden. How ya doing?<\/p>\n
SERGEANT
You know this man, Cobb?<\/p>\n
SHERIFF COBB
I surely do.<\/p>\n
SERGEANT
(to troopers)
Troopers, let’s take a look at this saddle.<\/p>\n
One of the troopers uncinches the saddle and flops it upside-down in the dust. “Paden” is scratched on the underside.<\/p>\n
SERGEANT
(satisfied)
All right, move along, folks. Get these children out of here. And you (says to Paden) get some clothes on!<\/p>\n
The crowd begins to break up. Paden and Cobb are left facing one another. Cobb takes in Paden’s long johns.<\/p>\n
SHERIFF COBB
I see you’re prospering without me.<\/p>\n
PADEN
It’s been a while.<\/p>\n
SHERIFF COBB
Where’s the dog?<\/p>\n
Paden’s look pierces Cobb, but he bends to pick up his saddle and when he straightens, there is a smile on his face.<\/p>\n
EXT. SIDEWALK – DAY<\/p>\n
Cobb and Paden come out of the general store and start down the sidewalk. Paden is a little unsteady in a pair of cheap boots. A small pile of clothing is in his arms. On his head is a bad-looking new hat. He tries to give the hat a rakish tilt.<\/p>\n
PADEN
Appreciate the loan.<\/p>\n\n\n
