The River Thief Page #3

Synopsis: Diz (Joel Courtney) is a reckless teenage drifter living life on the run. Abandoned by his parents as a child, he looks out for himself and doesn't accept handouts. He takes whatever he wants and runs. Jaded and determined to answer to no one, Diz lives a life marked by thievery and abandonment. Things change for Diz when he floats into a small town on the Snake River. There he is confronted by an unflappable old man named Marty and falls for Marty's guarded granddaughter, Selah. When Diz robs a local drug-dealing crazy, he becomes the owner of a giant pile of cash and the target of two vicious killers. With more money than he knows what to do with, and criminals at his heels, Diz puts the people he's learned to care about in danger, still trying to win Selah. But some things can't be stolen or bought. The River Thief is a film about guilt, self-sacrifice, and accepting life as a gift.

and you're here.

And you're breathing.

And I will find this kid.

You can find him?

I'm gonna find him.

Because a kid like this

can't lay low.

He needs to bang drums

and raise flags.

He's gonna make a mistake.

That's why I'll catch him.

And when I do...

then you can skin him.

I'll stop by the store

on the way home

Sorry you have to walk.

That is not your fault. At all.

I'm the one who gave

him the car,

and I meant it.

Maybe I'll come down for lunch.

Don't.

I'll be back soon.

Seriously?

You think this makes

anything ok?

Stay here. Take him wherever

he wants to go.

I'll stay here all month!

You better believe it,

have mercy...Whoo!

Oh! Thank you!

A limo?

Just give back his car,

you moron.

Ok.

I'll buy a new one.

I did pay for it, but he can

keep the money.

You're unbelievable.

Are you wearing cologne?

It's just a sample I got from a

place with new clothes.

Bought new clothes.

I didn't know if it

would be stupid.

Well it is.

You smell like my best friend's

creepy uncle.

What is your goal here?

What are you hoping

to accomplish?

Here?

Yes. Stalking me to work

after stealing my granddad's

car

I did leave money.

You're unbelievable. Shut up.

I should call the cops on you.

but then Bamps would say

that he gave you the car

and everything is fine,

because he's just as crazy

as you are.

Did you rob a bank?

Yes, a bank. A place where

people have money.

Yesterday you were this

punk thief kid

and now all of a sudden

you have all this money.

So, did you rob a bank?

No, I just...

...I want you to like me.

You my friend have the world's

shortest memory.

Yesterday's still pretty

vivid for me.

Don't follow me!

I have no problem running

into the street

and telling some redneck

to get out his gun

and shoot you!

[exhale]

Sorry I'm late!

I had to walk.

Well, Happy Birthday or

whatever it is...

but if you don't mind

can you tell your boyfriends

to stop?!

[background sizzling]

[traffic]

[traffic]

[traffic]

"It's a boy"?

I bought all the balloons

they had.

And no more flowers.

It's starting to look like

a funeral home in there.

[door closes]

[traffic]

Hey, how's it going today?

We shopping for a girlfriend?

Or your mother perhaps?

Is it a sister?

Just a girl.

That one.

[laughing] That is gonna be

pretty pricey for

'just a girl'.

I, uh...

But I probably have some little

things over here that...

that would be in your budget.

And what is my budget?

I'm just trying to be helpful.

Aren't you supposed to want

as much of my money

as you can get?

All I want is a happy customer.

Then:

That one.

That is a very valuable

estate piece

that we're planning
