Fixin' to dusky dark. We're closing. Be on your way.
VISITOR
Almost done.
CHARLES
Red-hair, get you gone!
VISITOR
Look, I just want to grab a few things to eat. Is the hostel open?
CHARLES
You should not be here. Hair of red, mark of blood, child of grave, I tell you get you gone!

Why are you in a hurry to get rid of me? Why did you block the road into town?
CHARLES
You should have heeded the warning. Get you gone! Get in your car and go home.
