HOBART
\nWell, god-dammit! God-dammit!<\/p>\n
Hobart turns and looks across to the other Settler men. He yells.<\/p>\n
HOBART
\nThey ain’t Baxter and Hawley! Where the hell are Baxter and Hawley!<\/p>\n
All this commotion has attracted some attention and amusement from passersby.<\/p>\n
BAXTER (O.S.)
\nQuit your yelling, old man. We’re right here.<\/p>\n
Hobart looks around to find two tough-looking men on horse-back behind him — BAXTER and HAWLEY.<\/p>\n
HOBART
\nWho you calling an old man?<\/p>\n
Baxter gets down from his horse and smiles, friendly for him.<\/p>\n
Emmett and Paden watch with interest.<\/p>\n
BAXTER
\n(offers his hand)
\nCalm down, Mr. Hobart. I’m Nord Baxter. That there is my partner, Tom Hawley.<\/p>\n
Hobart takes his hand grudgingly. He’s glad they showed up.<\/p>\n
HOBART
\n(gruff)
\nYou’re late. It’s a bad start, boys.<\/p>\n
BAXTER
\n(grinning)
\nYes, sir. We’ll just have to get you people to Silverado that much quicker.<\/p>\n
Emmett and Paden have continued to watch. Now Hawley looks over at them suspiciously.<\/p>\n
HOBART
\nAll right. Let’s get going.<\/p>\n
BAXTER
\nYou remember my letter, don’t you, Mr. Hobart? Half now and half when we get there.<\/p>\n
HOBART
\n(remembering, impatient)
\nI remember, I remember. C’mere.<\/p>\n
Hobart, Baxter, and Hawley move to the wagon, where the two other Settlers wait. The younger of the two, CONRAD, eyes the guides suspiciously. Hobart speaks to the third man, a huge, bearded fellow called EB. Eb sits upon a strongbox in the bed of the wagon, an awesome blunderbuss in his arms.<\/p>\n
HOBART
\nOpen the box, Eb.<\/p>\n
Eb stands, unlatches the strongbox, and opens it, revealing an impressive cache of coins and paper money. Hobart extracts a pouch of coins and hands it to Baxter, who pockets it.<\/p>\n
CONRAD
\nDon’t you want to count it?<\/p>\n
BAXTER
\nNot at all, friend. We trust you. Now let’s get this train on its way
\nto Silverado.<\/p>\n
Emmett and Paden watch the other five men head in the direction of the wagon train. Paden looks over at Emmett.<\/p>\n
INT. SALOON\/HOTEL – DAY<\/p>\n
At the back of the big room is a registration desk for the hotel and stairs to the rooms. Emmett and Paden are eating
\nnear a table of three Tough Men.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A knowing look","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":318,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"episode_type":"audio","audio_file":"http:\/\/www.silveradominute.com\/cm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/s85018.mp3","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"21.12M","filesize_raw":"22143364","date_recorded":"23-03-2022","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":""},"tags":[],"series":[3],"class_list":["post-462","podcast","type-podcast","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","series-silverado-minute"],"aioseo_notices":[],"episode_featured_image":"https:\/\/www.silveradominute.com\/cm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/s85018-scaled.jpg","episode_player_image":"https:\/\/www.silveradominute.com\/cm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/silvercover-scaled.jpg","download_link":"https:\/\/www.silveradominute.com\/cm\/podcast-download\/462\/minute-018-we-trust-you.mp3","player_link":"https:\/\/www.silveradominute.com\/cm\/podcast-player\/462\/minute-018-we-trust-you.mp3","audio_player":"
