23 Minutes to Sunrise Page #4

I never want to die.

Don't say that.

It's true.

No it ism

Think about it,

being what...

I'd like to try that.

Who wouldn't'!

I better get

back out there.

Don'! let that guy push you around.

He doesn't control you.

You've got to live your life the way you want to live it.

You got anybody to help you out'?

You've never met

someone so alone.

Mom'!

Dad?

Dead.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

I'll help you.

You don't even know me.

Maybe not.

But I can't stand to see a young girl

like you taken advantage of.

It's just not right.

What if I take advantage of you?

Then Super Hero out there will protect me.

What about Eddie?

How do you know Eddie?

I don't.

I've just been

watching the two of you.

Yeah, Eddie'd protect me.

That's nice to have.

I've gotta go.

#...peaches come from a can #

# they were put there by a man...#

# in a factory down -uh...#

What the f***?

Are you f***ing kidding me'?

I guess they're out of paper towels.

Read something to me

from your notebook.

Nah- you'd...

it's boring.

You really wouldn't like it.

Oh, I see.

So you think a simple waitress is too stupid

to understand your deep thoughts?

No, No, come on.

Come on. You know

it's not like that.

Well then then

read me something.

Anything.

I just want to hear

you read something.

For me.

I feel weird about it.

Let me read it then.

The first person I killed.

As I went up to his still form, I could see

the holes that had accomplished my purpose.

He wasn't much more than a teenager, with that wispy

beard you try to grow to prove you're old enough.

He still had his

weapon in his hand.

Has he met God, Allah, Jesus'!

Did he die for a good

cause, a just cause?

Does it matter to him now?

Maybe he is in paradise and all the terrible rotten

things that happen in life are forgotten.

Or maybe he's just

dead and that's all..

Just dead and gone.

I saw death, face to face, in

the first person I killed.

I've never read anything

like that before.

This is your basic blackjack.

You've got 3 hands here, ok?

Dealer's showin' a cowboy. So you

gonna hit- ...not good. Too many.

Too many.

Well, that's an excellent

poker hand but, too many.

And dealer ...20.

You know, in Vegas, they,

they deal from a 4 deck shoe.

It's... well, it's just like

this, only different. But- um...

Anyways, uh, as soon

as we get settled in,

Bobby said, he can get us

a job at the Frontier.

I'll deal therefor, I

don't know, six months,

and then move to the Luxor,

the MGM or some other place on the Strip.

Can we finally get married?

Yeah.

Sure thing.

Soon as we get a little bit of

money, we'll get married.

It'll be just like that movie...
