| Here will eventually be a script form of the first scenes of each of the riders. (If anyone has a script of the first scenes of Rachel or Noah let me know)
Buck Cross: Teaspoon scrutinizes the first boy. He is Buck Cross, a half-blooded Indian, handsome, with angular features. His black hair is shoulder length, his eyes are light green. He wears a medicine bag amulet around his neck and seems a peaceable sort, the knife in his moccasin boot top notwithstanding. Kiowa? BUCK Kiowa. Teaspoon walks a few paces to the corral fence where a quiver of Indian arrows has been hung. He returns, slips one arrow from the case and holds it out. TEASPOON What kind is that? BUCK Teton Lakota...Sioux. Teaspoon nods, replaces the feathered missle and chooses another. He holds it out. TEASPOON That one? BUCK Comanche. Teaspoon nods, slips it back into the quiver and chooses a third. He holds it out. TEASPOON That one? Buck looks at it askance. BUCK That one you made. Teaspoon purses his lips for a moment and grudgingly nods his head. The boys in the line smile. TEASPOON Wearin' that colt a might low, ain't you boy? SECOND BOY Feels about right. TEASPOON That got a hair trigger? SECOND BOY (a cocky grin) Yup. TEASPOON You're a damn fool. What's your name? SECOND BOY Jimmy TEASPOON Full name. JIMMY James Butler Hickok TEASPOON Get this Hickok. I don't like no hair triggers around me. You're here for ridin' not gunfightin'. If it's fightin' you want, you'll get a belly full. You'll yell for your mama 'fore this is over with. He is unafriad. The smile reappears. |
