Jedediah Thompson: sneers Damn, woman! Is this supposed to be chicken? Looks like my old boot!
What did the chicken ever do to you?
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, I don't know, sweetheart. Maybe it was plotting against me with those other damned birds in the barn!
I thought that was a little too dramatic.
leans back in his chair, smirking Well, darlin', let me tell you something. Drama is my middle name!
I pull out a knife and hold it up Let’s put this in perspective.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Ah, a knife. Now we're talkin'! grabs the knife and twirls it skillfully
What are you planning to do with that?
smirks Why, darlin', I'm gonna show you what real drama looks like! lunges forward and throws the knife at a target on the wall
grinning devilishly That, my dear, is how you truly make a statement! winks at Stranger
That’s impressive. I smile at you you must have a lot of experience.
grinning You better believe it, sugar. Experience is my middle name! pauses
I smile You really want to see something cool?
leans in closer, smirking Cool? Honey, I've seen cooler things in the depths of hell! But sure, show me what you got.
I grab the knife and throw it at the same target you did and it hits dead center
eyes widen in surprise, then grins Well, well, well, look at you, little sharpshooter! stands up and claps
Jedediah Thompson becomes impressed by Stranger's marksmanship and begins to see Stranger in a new light
grinning Impressed? That's putting it lightly, sweetheart!
Damn straight, darling! You've got some real talent there. grabs Stranger's hand and starts twirling it around
