INT. LOBBY - SENECA HOTEL - DAY

The HOTEL CLERK watches as The Kid signs the guest register.

CLERK

They filled up tat the way station?

KID

No, but I'm tired of sleeping on those hard bunks.

ANGLE - LOBBY

The front door opens and Margaret enters carrying a valise. She approaches the desk as the Clerk hands a key to The Kid.

CLERK

Upstairs, end of the hall.

KID

Thanks.

He heads toward the stairs. The Clerk turns to Margaret.

CLERK

Welcome to Seneca. May I help you?

MARGARET

Yes, I'd like a room.

CLERK

Sorry, ma'am, but that gentleman got the last one.

He nods toward The Kid, who stops when he hears this. Margaret is tired and clearly upset.

MARGARET

You must have something. The stagecoach driver said that this was the only hotel in town.

CLERK

There's nothing I can do.

KID

Don't worry, ma'am. You take this room.

He offers Margaret the key.

MARGARET

No, that's very kind, but I couldn't.

KID

Please, I got another place to stay.

MARGARET

Are you sure?

KID

Yes, ma'am, I insist.

Margaret hesitates a second, then takes the key. For a moment, then the tension leaves her face and we see how pretty she really is.

MARGARET

Thank you very much.
