I may have a few miles on me but I can still lick my weight in wild cats. This is gonna hurt you<br />

worse than it is me.<br />

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

Rose Rose<br />

(Ominously)<br />

I wouldn't count on that if I were you.<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 />

one you let her rip. When your hand hits the table, you lose. That's the only rule.<br />

Rose Rose<br />

That's all the rules?<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 />

who look tense and uncomfortable. NED looks amused when he sees the size of her arms. <strong>The</strong><br />

mood of the crowd seems to indicate the outcome is a foregone conclusion. Nobody expects her<br />

to win.<br />

Jack<br />

On my mark.<br />

Three.<br />

Two.<br />

Rose Rose slams both her feet onto NED's boot. He jerks in sudden agony. She really stomped<br />

his foot hard. Thrown by the fierce pain, he’s too stunned to move his arm.<br />

Jack<br />

ONE!<br />

Rose Rose slams his hand against the table so hard his knuckles bruise.<br />

CATTLEMAN NED<br />

(Outraged)<br />

Why you damn little cheater!<br />

(Holding his foot)<br />

I think you broke my toes!<br />
