JAMES DILLARD
She might like it. Margaret leads Spencer off the train, spots Elsa with James. Shakes her head ... MARGARET That girl ... She walks to them. MARGARET (CONT’D) How did you get down here? No worry of punishment when she’s in the presence of her father, Elsa smiles, says simply -- ELSA I jumped. MARGARET She is your daughter and you can have her. Margaret hugs James deeply. Looks at his face. MARGARET (CONT’D) You look like a ruffian. JAMES DILLARD I was planning on a shave. MAGRARET Should’ve planned harder. JAMES DILLARD I’ll get one first thing tomorrow. She holds a hand to his cheek, studies his face, gives him a sly smile ... MARGARET Well ... There’s no rush now. James looks down at Spencer. JAMES DILLARD I see you survived the journey. SPENCER Barely. The man beside me shit hisself in Mississippi and I had to smell it all the way here.
