Looper Page #3

Synopsis: Joe is classified as a "looper", a job in which his employers use time travel to send men from the future to be killed into the past, where Joe can properly dispose of their bodies. However, to tie up loose ends and erase the evidence of his ever being a looper, Joe knows that one day his future self will be sent back for him to kill. When this day comes, Joe's future self is prepared and escapes, and the two men struggle separately in the past trying to evade capture and attempting to fulfill their own personal agendas.

You willing to dump

your silver in the dirt

for Seth?

You're gonna kill him.

Not if we can help it. Be too

cataclysmic a change for the future.

What we'll do is dangerous

in that regards,

though not as dangerous

as killing him.

On top of which a man from the future

runs free long enough,

this time travel sh*t

fries your brain like an egg.

Why the f*** French?

I'm going to France.

You should go to China.

I'm going to France.

I'm from the future.

You should go to China.

I'm going to France.

You're going...

The floor safe, under the rug.

Six seven four two.

It's the little ones that get you.

Why don't you kill an hour, Joe.

On the house.

Call the doc.

Wait.

Wait!

Wait.

You know, I can't

remember my mother's face.

She used to run her hands

through my hair.

Just like this.

I think I just let my best friend

get killed tonight.

For silver.

Sh*t.

Yeah.

Sh*t.

Sorry.

I'm gonna give you some money.

I've been stashing my silver for years

and I'm gonna give you half of it.

You can raise your kid right.

You wanna give me half your silver?

Silver's got strings.

I got my job.

You got yours.

It's sweet of you to worry about me,

but I'm doing fine.

Why don't we just stick

to services rendered.

Is this what you want?

Sh*t!

Then it just becomes a

mess, like a pig f***ing a football.

You know what I'm saying.

Let's finish this up.

There's 24 there.

I'm keeping count.

Two more trips

should just do it.

Goddamn it! Aah!

Kid, I'm sorry!

Tell Abe I'm gonna fix this!

Tell him I'm gonna find my loop

and I'm gonna kill him! Tell Abe...

Motherf***er!

Rainmaker....

Sh*t!

You got any aspirin?

Uh-huh.

All of them, please.

I'll take that coat too.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Joe, I told you to run.

Don't do it, you idiot.

Hurry up, Blue!

That's the second loop we had

run this week. It's getting endemic.

F***ing Kid Blue.

About two more trips

should do it.

Sh*t.

You stupid little sh*t.

Pound the pavement,

sweep the train yard.

Every second that passes is bad.

Get on it.

Stupid little sh*t.

I can fix this.

I can find him!

Go home.

Let the grownups work.

Kid Blue.

You bastard. How do I find you?

Coffee?

Please.

Black. And some water.

Anything else?

We eating?

I ordered something.

Steak and eggs.

Rare and scrambled.

Two steak and eggs, coming up.

Must hurt.

I wasn't sure you'd remember her.

I put it together.

Clever.

You know, there's another girl

who works here on the weekends.

Jen?

Right. Less letters.

That'd be better.

How's your French coming?

Good. You gonna tell me

I ought to be learning Mandarin?

I never regretted

learning French.
