saloon girl :

                         so you’re a writer

                                     [Howard smiles]

                        among other things

saloon girl :

                        can i buy you a drink?

howard :

                        sure

                                       just then ….

                        a girl walks in

patron :

                       look, a "stun" gun fighter

                                                      [Howard looks up]

                       nice

                       carefully she surveys the room

                       until she spots Howard standing in a corner sipping hot cocoa

                       surprised at this handsome guy not shying away

                                                    [she walks up to Howard]

eve :

                        are you Howard Mcclain?

howard :

                        that’d be me miss

eve :

                        are you interested in sighing?

howard :

                       are you in a forgiving mood?

eve :
              
                       i am

                                        [staring at the marshmellows in his cocoa]

                       crying ain’t much of living girl

                                                     [the saloon falls silent]

                        you know, this isn’t necessary

                        you’re already giving this dude more than what’s necessary

                        just walk away

                                                     [pondering his advice]

                       Eve decides to take it

                       walks towards the saloon doors and then disappears

                       the saloon patrons breath a sigh of relief

                       until …..

                                               [the saloon doors open again]

                       Eve walks through

                       the rooms falls silent

                       with only Eve’s spurs clanging against the wooden floor

                       to serve as rapport

                      it was obvious to everyone sitting in the room that these two had more than feelings to explore

                                                   [standing in front of Howard]

                       i had to come back

howard :

                       i know

                      quicker than lightning

                      Eve reaches for a hankerchief

                       but Howard does her one better

                       and blows her a kiss

                       catching her breath

                       Eve staggers back

                       she notices Howard’s open briefcase

                       love letters?

                       stunned, she wanted to ask about the lovely girl getters

                       but her lovely reflexes took over

                       she reaches for another hankerchief

                       simply lovely

                       Howard mused

                       and then blew her another kiss

                       this time Howard didn’t miss

eve :

                      wait, my wedding ring!!!!!!

                       but even as she yells out

                       the fair dame

                       knew she was fair game

                       if she wanted to play fair

                      she’d have to extinguish her flame

                      and that  wouldn’t be fair to either of them

                       she knew he had game

                       but this …… ???

                        with no legitimate excuse to back out of an interaction that was definitely heading towards a fling

                       Eve spots a window

                                                   [Howard realizing her strategy]

                      calls out

                       miss …… !!!!

                       miss …… !!!!

                       but Eve was already experiencing too much bliss

                       swiftly she traveled across the room

                       and turned around to look at the man who would rival the affections of her groom

                        passion loomed

                                                               then …

                         Eve crashes through a window

                         even while rolling on the ground

                         Eve thought to herself

                         why did I diss him?

                         why did I diss him?

                                    [Howard runs to the window]

                         Eve jumps up and whistles

                         as two horses come running around the corner

                         Eve and her partner smoothly jumps onto their backs and ….

                         heee – yaahaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!

                         they gallop away

                                              [Howard whistles to himself]

                         what a woman

                         still stunned

                         the patrons in the saloon slowly regain their senses

                                   [one of the saloon girls walks over to Howard]

                         you think she’ll be back one day?

                         his heart said no but …

                         at that moment he looks over to his briefcase

                         the letters …. gone ….

                         could it be possible?

                         picks up his cup of Swiss Miss

                                                   [smiling to himself]

                         puts on his hat

                         looks over to the saloon girl

saloon girl :

                         well sir, do you think it’s possible?

                                                           [Howard smiles]


                         i reckon so miss

                                                              i reckon so  



                            

                                                                                                                 love,

                                                                                                                  eve & howard

An interesting tale!
I see you and I both like the same old west movie. I've seen it or parts of it 15 times at least.
I can only say "Doin' good ain't got no end."
or "Endeavor to perceiver" or "pay me next time you see me."
There were lots of good lines in that movie.
