M’Pherson: Well, is it a deal?
Burns: I was going to tell you, yes.
M’Pherson: That’s good. Here’s the coin.
[He counts out some money on the table.]
Burns (taking up the money): That’s the last deal at Ellisland. (Handing the money to Jean.) Here you are, lass—no, I’ll keep one.
[Willie Campbell comes in.]
Willie: Am I to stay, or am I to go?
Burns: We’re going ourselves, Willie. To Dumfries.
Willie: You’re letting it beat you.
Jean: It’s a very responsible excise appointment, Willie.
