SHERIFF CHAPMAN:

Hmm Is that your laudanum?

TOM LEWIS:

Yes My arthritis

has been acting up recently

and it's the only medicine

that I know that

will take the edge off.

SHERIFF CHAPMAN:

OK Tom. Give my regards

to Margaret.

A FIDDLE CAN BE HEARD.

A FIDDLE CAN BE HEARD.

COLIN:

Hey!

HENRY SEED:

Pardon me my friend..

COLIN:

Don't touch me!

BARTENDER ZEKE:

Hail there Henry.

What brings you

here this time?

HENRY SEED:

Hello Zeke...I've got an

itch, a little noise to make.

It's been a long journey.

WANDA (OS):
Hello Henry.

Looking good.

How are you holding up?

HENRY SEED:

I am getting my bearings

Wanda, although today

was a pretty good day.

BARTENDER ZEKE:

So I heard.

WANDA:

You'll be sticking around then?

HENRY SEED:

As long as it takes...

I've got a lot of work to do...

BARTENDER ZEKE:

Got a lot of noise to make...

WANDA:

You sure you know what

you're doing?

HENRY SEED:

I do know this...sometimes a

deafening silence needs to be

broken with a thunderous roar.

BARTENDER ZEKE:

Perhaps so.

HENRY SEED:

It just seems to me like a lot

of people are turning a deaf ear

and a blind eye.

WANDA:

You should keep your own eyes

and ears open.

CHARLIE LITTLE FEATHER:

Hello.

PETER LEWIS:

Good afternoon.

ELIZABETH JANE:

Mr. Little Feather!

CHARLIE LITTLE FEATHER:

Elizabeth Jane.

ELIZABETH JANE:

Good afternoon Mr. Little

Feather.

May Gusty come over today?

CHARLIE LITTLE FEATHER:

Yes I'm sure she would like

that.

She will be over in a little

while.

ELIZABETH JANE:

Thank you.

EUGENE RODGERS:

Peter...

PETER LEWIS:

Afternoon, Eugene...

EUGENE RODGERS:

Something on your mind?

PETER LEWIS:

Indians should stay on the

reservation.

EUGENE RODGERS:

Scalp trading vermin.

KNOCKING ON DOOR

EUGENE RODGERS:

Hello, can I help you?

HENRY SEED:

Hello, I'm sorry to be

bothering you at mealtime but I

was wondering if you would

like these blankets...

They are made by Lakota

artisans.

EUGENE RODGERS:

How much are they?

HENRY SEED:

I believe in that old adage that

if you cast your bread upon the

water, it comes back ten-fold.

EUGENE RODGERS:

Well that's mighty kind of you.

They appear to be well

made blankets...

They must have been hard to come

by.

HENRY SEED:

Well I... I do have my sources.

EUGENE RODGERS:

Well, we appreciate the gesture.

Would you care to join us for

dinner Mr....?

HENRY SEED:

Seed... Henry Seed.

EUGENE RODGERS:

Henry this is my wife Katherine

and our son Matthew.

KATHRYN RODGERS:

Pleased to meet you.

HENRY SEED:

It's my pleasure Kathryn.

KATHRYN RODGERS:

Please join us.

HENRY SEED:

Thank you. What's your name?

MATTHEW RODGERS:

Matthew.

HENRY SEED:
