JAMES DILLARD (CONT’D) ANYBODY ELSE?! ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO COME AFTER MY FAMILY?!?!? Doors close as quickly as they opened. James leans into his hotel room, watches his wife cradle his terrified daughter. Watches his son rock back and forth, wailing for comfort -- and not understanding that he isn’t the one who needs it. James leans against the doorway and watches them, wondering what the hell he’d gotten his family into, knowing there was no way to get them out. They had no choice but to endure. Yes, what an adventure indeed ... EXT. STOCK YARDS -- MORNING. Shea and Thomas stand with the STOCK YARD MANAGER(50), looking over a corral filled with ox (bulls that were not castrated until adulthood, then trained to be draft animals, for those who don’t know ...) STOCK YARD MANAGER What the hell am I gonna do with these? SHEA Sell ‘em. STOCK YARD MANAGER To who? SHEA Farmers. STOCK YARD MANAGER
