Rose Rose takes a seat across from him. She looks undaunted by the size of him.<br />

Jack stands beside the table ready to act as judge and the referee.<br />
Jack<br />
All right, here's how she's gonna go. One elbow on the table. I count backwards from three. On<br />

Rose Rose<br />

Jack<br />
Use what you got. It ain't complicated.<br />
<strong>The</strong> room is full, everyone crowding around to watch. <strong>The</strong> only ones seated are the four Indians<br />

(Holding his foot)<br />
I think you broke my toes!<br />
