INT. REAR OF OBSERVATION CAR—ROLLING. DAWN.

SWEET RED eggs on NOBLE above the mocking laughter, whoops, and whistles of the CROWD.

SWEET RED
She's mighty fierce when it comes to
selling wolf tickets.  She told you
to "put up or shut up."

DOTTIE
(smiling, equally tweedy)

NOBLE
(seriously)
Call your bluff.I'll wager one
hundred ducats that you couldn't     
hit 10 the hard way with loaded dice.
 
DOTTIE
Oh, ye of little faith…
