The livery manager looks up at the wagon, stands and walks to it. Peers inside ... Foot lockers and bedding are neatly stacked inside along with a chair and cooking equipment. The livery manager shakes his head ... LIVERY MANAGER
Folks leave their wagons out back, but ... They’re empty when they do it. All this shit’ll be stolen by morning. JAMES DILLARD Ain’t got nowhere you can keep it? LIVERY MANAGER I’ll put it in the hay barn for ten dollars. But I can’t make any promises it won’t get robbed there either. JAMES DILLARD It’s the promise I’m paying for. LIVERY MANAGER For twenty I’ll have someone stay with it. JAMES DILLARD How much for the horses? LIVERY MANAGER Two apiece.
James hands him another eight dollars. JAMES DILLARD There a decent hotel? LIVERY WORKER Just you? JAMES DILLARD
Got my family with me. Six total.
The man stares at James.
LIVERY MANAGER You don’t want your family here. Go to Dallas. JAMES DILLARD Here’s where they’re meeting me.
