I'm lloking at 1. e4, e6; 2. d4, d5; 3. e5, c5; 4. Nc3. Of course, 4...cxd is best as it asks questions at once! 4...Nc6 is not any bad move, but it isn't forcing and allows White to try something like 5. Nf3, cxd; 6. Nb5 (or perhaps even e2!). 4...cxd threatens ...dxc3 - so now what? 4. Qxd4, Nc6 with tempo.
