early in the... Hahaha! I think I'm going to like you Paul. Sorry for having butchered your name. Maybe I wouldn't have with those [She rummages through her bag, finally finds what she's looking for and puts them on.]



My name is Claire, Claire Vannier but my friends call me Clarity. I'm coming from France to improve my English, and Max. Mr Skinner told me that maybe I could give a hand in one of his businesses here and that you would know what to do with me. Unless is he going to come here today?

[She turns to the other nice man who talked to her first.] By the way, Monsieur, why did you tell me I shouldn't say I'm his friend? The lady I just um met doesn't like him? Why wouldn't [She suddenly looks at him attentively.]

Oh!

Don't tell me. You. you.

[She gets closer]

You are

[She leans toward him]

That tin star you are a Sheriff? A real one? I've never seen a real Sheriff before! I suppose you don't have a horse, have you? [He rolls his eyes]. Sorry, I was just trying to joke. I know you're not Rooster Cogburn you have two eyes.

Oh non, no, thank you, it's very kind of you but I just got off the plane, it's been a long trip and I feel a bit jetlagged. I'd better go and try to find my new place or what will be my new place for a few times. In fact, I'm not hoping for a job, I think I already have one for the length of my stay, I just don't know which. Let's say it will be my way of paying the rent for my room.

Thank you for warm... warning me, but no need to worry about me. Yes, I happen to be rather familiar with Max Skinner so I know that he can be difficult, but I also know he can be something else when he wants to.

I'm sorry, I got to go now, Mister Mister? You haven't told me your name. Maybe we'll meet again if I work somewhere around?

Big Sur Lodge, you said? Yes, I think it's the name Max mentioned. I don't have much luggage, but I'd appreciate your help in finding that lodge, even if it's not far I get lost easily. Thank you Sheriff Biebe.

Em that is if you don't have anything more important to do, of course. I wouldn't want to distract you from your duty!

[She blushes.] Well, actually, everything I have is here, in that backpack and small suitcase I don't need much, you know.

[Later back at the bar, she walks slowly and carefully toward the group of preoccupied men, carrying a tray heavily loaded with beers. She's distracted just one second - well, okay two - by all these handsome men's strong faces, many looking oddly similar, and also by the sheriff's nice smile, but it's enough to make one of the bottles want to escape. Fortunately, it's stopped by a steady hand]

Em thank you but I dont think it would be a good idea. I mean, I just got my orders from my colonel, who seems to think that everyone is particularly thirsty tonight.

Looks like he's right.

[On her way back to the table where East is waiting for her, she bumps into John Biebe who's leaving the bar. She can't help feeling embarrassed, without any reason.



She tries to paste her most natural smile on her face.



The sheriff goes on his way, acknowledging her with a simple polite nod.]

[She turns too, a few seconds later, and can see only his large and strong back.

She sighs and goes back to East.]
