Description
Sheriff:
Where'd you get that, Albert? Are you going to stick it outside to replace the tatty old Wooden Injun that's been there since Noah?
Albert:
Not guilty, Sheriff - it just pushed the door open and walked in.
Sheriff: It did, did it? Nonsense.
Albert:
And it can talk. Says its name is Maria.
Sheriff:
Maybe there's a dwarf inside making it work.
Maria:
Not at all, Sheriff. I am a completely independant mechanism, and capable of reasoning.
Sheriff:
Well, I'm damned!
Maria:
I wish to find work.
Sheriff:
Any good with a gun, then?
Maria:
I have no desire to injure anyone.
Albert:
She could go and help in the Saloon.
Sheriff:
Needs to be bullet-proof, then. Some of those customers get trigger-happy when they're full of whiskey.
Maria:
Projectiles will bounce off, Sheriff. Lead bullets, though propelled with great force, will flatten and drop to the floor.
Albert:
Well, Sheriff, if you're on your way for your evening glass, - take her along and see what Miss Kitty thinks.
I think I'll call it a day and come with you.
