Josephine Marcus: [looking lustfully at Wyatt] This is a remarkabale scene...I wonder who that tall drink of water is.
Mr. Fabian: My darling, you've cast your gaze upon the quintessential frontier type. Note the lean silhouette. Eyes closed by the sun, yet sharp as a hawk. He has the look of both predator, and prey.
Josephine Marcus: I want one.
Mr. Fabian: Happy hunting.
