31.
POLLY Thomas Shelby, you are bookmaker, a robber, a fighting man, but you are not a fool... She lowers her voice out of respect for the Christ statue... POLLY (CONT’D)
You sell those guns to anyone who has use for them, you will hang.
A pause.
POLLY (CONT’D) Dump them somewhere the police can find them. When they know they haven’t fallen into the wrong hands perhaps this will blow over. Thomas nods gently. Polly takes his hand. POLLY (CONT’D) Tell Charlie to dump them tonight. Thomas gets to his feet. THOMAS He won’t move contraband around under a full Moon. Polly is about to speak... THOMAS (CONT’D) Three days until it wanes. POLLY And then you’ll do the right thing. Thomas nods once and she grabs his arm and stares into his eyes. POLLY
You have your mother’s common sense and your father’s devilment. I see them fighting.
A pause.
POLLY Let your mother win.
He turns and walks. His footsteps echo. Polly sits down again in the pew and crosses herself with a mumbled prayer.
