Desperados lounging about. Black Jack enters, unrolls note, reads, and
gives orders.
SUBTITLE: “STICK NO. 5 UP AT MASON’S CUT. WE’LL COVER UP THE JOB BY
MAKING THE DESPATCHER DRIVE NO. 2 INTO NO. 5.”
At his last word four desperados exit left. Black Jack and Bird Stevens
go off right.
[Note the strength gained by inserting the subtitle in the action of
the scene and having it a speech by one of the characters. How much
weaker would it have been had the author put his subtitle before or
after the scene, and said, “The desperados decide to hold up No. 5 at
Mason’s Cut and cover up their crime by forcing the despatcher to drive
No. 2 into No. 5.”]
