Yeah. Just a little short. Figures. I just wanted to get out, that's all.
|
Please, you don't understand. I have to get out of here. They're going to come looking for me. They're going to kill me. If I can't get this ticket then I'm going to have to do things to get out of here. I don't want to hurt anybody, I just want to leave.
|
I'll give you the money! Okay? I'll give you twofifty. Just . . . just, please.
|
Onehundredthirteen degrees. That was back in July of fortyseven. Now there ain't no way it's gonna be hotter than that.
|
Hundred and eight already.
|
Hundred and eight ain't a hundred and thirteen.
|
Will be.
|
You ain't nothing but an old fool.
|
You got two years on me. What's that make me?
|
It's nonsense.
|
It is not.
|
A coin's got two sides. When you flip it there's a fiftyfifty chance it'll be heads or tails. Boyd thinks if you flip a coin ten times half the time it'll come up each side.
|
It will.
|
No it won't. You just don't know shit about statistics.
|
And what are you? A rocket scientist?
|
I got more brains than you've got teeth.
|
Put your money where your chicken lipped mouth is. I'll bet this mornings pay I'm right.
|
I'll take a piece of that bet. I say it doesn't come up five times each side.
|
Well, a man with some gumption. How much money you got?
|
Nothing.
|
You want to make a kiddies bet?
|
I'll bet my watch against your pay.
|
It's a Movado.
|
Never heard of it. It's got no day or date. Hell, it ain't even got numbers. What's the matter? You couldn't afford a Timex?
|
Next city you're in take it to a jeweler. He won't give you less than fourhundred for it.
|
Thirtybucks? That's it?
|
That's my morning's pay.
|
I'm a rich man off of thirty bucks?
|
Hey! You there!
|
You want something, old man?
|
Don't call me old man. Ain't you got no respect, boy?
|
You want something?
|
Yeah I want something. I want you to run over to that machine and get me a pop.
|
You can't do that yourself?
|
Hell no, I can't do that myself. I'm blind. Can't you see that?
|
I'm sorry, I didn't
|
What'd you think I was doing out here with these glasses on? Sunnin' myself?
|
I don't know. I thought you were keeping the sun from your eyes.
|
I ain't got no eyes. You want to see?
|
Christ no!
|
Lost my eyes on Okinawa. Lost them fighting the war. Fought the war and lost my eyes just so you could come around here and make fun of me.
|
I said I was sorry.
|
Don't be sorry. Just run over there and get me my pop before I die of thirst.
|
Yeah, sure. You got change?
|
Change? You want my change? I fought the war and lost my eyes just so I could give you my change?
|
All right, old man. Christ.
|
Get me a Dr. Peppa! I don't want no Pepsi. Pepsi ain't nothing but flavored water.
|
Yeah, yeah.
|
Don't forget to open it for me. I can't be opening my own bottle.
|
Christ!
|
I think you'd better give your pooch a sip. He looks sick.
|
That's 'cause he's dead.
|
Oh, Jesus.
|
I hope you wasn't pettin' him none, was you?
|
What the hell are you keeping a dead dog around for?
|
He's only just dead. What was I supposed to do with him? I can't take him away anywhere. And nobody wants to take him for me. Do you?
|
He no!
|
See. Ain't nothing I can do but keep him here beside me. That's where he belongs anyways. Me and Jesse, that's my dog, not anymore, but me and Jesse we been pals since the war when I lost my eyes. He was just a pup then . . .
|
You sure seen a lot for a blind man.
|
Just 'cause I ain't got eyes doesn't mean I can't see.
|
That a fact?
|
I can see just fine. For example: You're a young man who thinks he's got someplace to be.
|
Maybe I do.
|
Or maybe you just think you do. You can run just as far as you can, but wherever you go, there you are.
|
I think I've heard that before.
|
What do you want for free?
|
You sure got a lot of philosophy, old man.
|
That's 'cause I've done a lot of living.
|
Maybe one day I'll get to sit on a corner and spout wise.
|
Think you'll live that long?
|
Ain't you got a little something for the infirm?
|
I'm a little short. I'll catch you next time.
|
I won't hold my breath.
|
The day wasn't so bad. We all got through it all right.
|
Ain't over yet. Night is part of day; separate, but equal. Night is when you let your guard down; when you see things in the shadows and hear things in the dark.
|
You're a hell of a pessimist, old man.
|
Night is when you want to sleep, but the dry heat keeps you tossin' and turnin'. It's when you wish the sun was bakin' high in the sky so you could see what it is you're afraid of.
|
You afraid of the dark?
|
Afraid of it? Boy, I live in the dark. People are afraid of what they can't see. I can't see nuthin', so it's all the same to me. Kiss from a beautiful woman, a lick from a dog. The kiss of death. It's all the same.
|
You don't fear death?
|
We was born to die, boy. From the minute you take your first breath you got a death sentence hanging over your head. You just don't know where, or when, or how. Don't make sense worryin' about the particulars.
|
We're all just floating along like twigs in a stream, so enjoy the ride. Is that it?
|
More or less.
|
Not this twig, friend. I got plans.
|
We all got plans. I planned on seeing all my life. I know you didn't plan on straying into town.
|
No and I don't plan on sticking around either. I don't guess I'll be seeing you again. Take it easy.
|
Same back at you.
|
Any parting words of wisdom?
|
Things ain't always the way they seem. You got to ask yourself; is it worth it?
|
Nine thirty
|
Might be tight.
|
Tight? My watch says 7:30.
|
On your normal mornin', okay, plenty a time, but today, gotta take inta account your ArmyoftheTwelveMonkeys factor.
|
What? What did you say?
|
Twelve Monkeys, honey. Guess you folks didn't turn on your radio this morning.
|
so they get there and they ask the guy real nice for some kind of i.d., and he gets agitated, starts screaming about viruses. Totally irrational, totally disoriented, doesn't know where he is, what day it is, alla that stuff. All they got was his name. They figure he's stoned out of his mind, it's some kinda psychotic episode, so they're gonna bring him...
|
He's been tested for drugs?
|
Negative for drugs. But he took on five cops like he was dusted to the eyeballs. No drugs. You believe that?
|
You have him in restraints.
|
Were you listening? We got two officers in the hospital. Yeah, he's in restraints, plus the medic gave him enough stellazine to kill a horse. Look at him! Still on his feet.
