- Bye.

- Judy.

- Yeah? Coming.

That was a real

smart move back there.

I shouldn't have done that.

- I know,

- yeah.

You know, I used to meet a

friend of mine in places like this

until an a**hole like you

ran him off the road!

- Hey!

- What?

- Can you keep it down? I'm trying to watch the TV.

- Hey, f*** off!

I... I'm sorry.

- Just, just drop it now.

- I won't just drop it!

Hey, that's it!

Should we call someone?

Everything's okay,

guys, don't worry.

- It's over.

- - Thank you.

Hey, I, I don't know

how to thank you.

I'm sorry, Judy.

I, I...

I'm sorry.

- It happens.

- Give me that.

No, it's, it's fine, really.

He was an idiot. Jesus.

Sorry, man.

Really sorry.

No worries.

Thank you.

Where are you going?

Just drop me

wherever suits you.

I'm Paul.

Jack.

You hunt?

Uh, yeah, I got a

goose this morning, yeah.

- What do you do?

- I'm a writer.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Books?

- Yeah, books, yeah, long time ago.

Must be hard work.

- Listen, uh, can I ask you a question?

- Sure.

In the fight back there,

what did you say to that guy?

- What did I say?

- Yeah, the man was terrified.

I told him I liked

my lunch quiet.

Hm.

So you gonna tell

me where you're going?

Just enjoying the road.

You like living like that?

Nothing better.

How do you get by?

I do what I have to do.

Then I move on.

Nothing you miss?

You know, hot shower.

Some storm, huh?

Yeah, pretty bad.

Took out power

and telephone lines.

Power only just came back.

Listen, uh,

I... I don't wanna

drop you on the road

with this weather

coming out there.

The weather, man.

They always get it wrong.

Well, we are

close to my place,

and I got a guest room.

You can use it for the night,

have a hot shower.

Look, don't feel like

you owe me, okay?

Ah, it's the least I can do.

I would be in the hospital

without you back there.

Appreciate it.

Here we are.

You like it?

Yeah, I like it.

Good.

You must have

sold a lot of books.

- I did all right.

- Hey, let me help you.

Take that bag.

Nice kill.

Well, I can be a good shot

if I do say so myself.

Uh... it is messed up.

You gotta be careful.

There...

All right.

Sorry, maid's day off.

You have a maid?

Uh... no.

Not anymore.

Probably working for my ex.

Is that a joke?

Let me show you to your room.

Ah, f***. Hang on.

Yeah, watch your step.

My wife made me

put these safety bolts

on all windows.

She was scared, you know.

- Of what?

- I don't know.

Isolation?

All right. Here we are.

Bathroom is over there,

and it has a shower.

Sheets and towels in the closet.

Thanks, Paul.

Yeah, make

yourself comfortable.

Uh-huh.

You have cleaned up.

You hungry?

- Good morning.
