all these robbers together

and started to map it out.

They'd have the managers

of the local diners call

if anyone between the ages

of ten or eighteen

dined by themselves

and ordered that.

It wasn't the most

perfect of plans

but they eventually

apprehended the guy.

Story of Kid Texas.

I don't know if I believe it.

Well, it's your prerogative.

Call it a legend

if you re-tell it.

I'll use the bathroom.

I'll get the check.

Thanks for the food break.

[Natalie]

You're welcome.

- Here you go.

- Okay, keep the change.

[Savannah]

Thanks.

This is crazy.

[water sloshing]

[breathing heavily]

[grunting]

[breathing heavily]

And where are you headed?

Oh...

This is exactly the kind

of attention we don't want.

- Guys climbing out of windows.

- Uh, what? We?

Do-don't act like we're a team.

You say if I leave you,

they'll find and kill me

but I'm not so sure

that sticking with you

doesn't end with me

being dead, as well.

Risk versus reward.

Did you learn

the art of conversation

from a fortune cookie?

Have I said anything so far

you don't understand?

No, it's just very terse.

It lacks nuance.

- It's by design.

- Copy that, RoboCop.

- I'm not a police officer.

- I can't do this anymore.

There are less comfortable

ways of doing this, you know?

More threats.

[sighs]

My patience has

a tendency to dissipate

and my kindness

has been known to expire.

Oh. Message received,

loud and clear.

My way of speaking

must be contagious.

[sighs]

[instrumental music]

[music continues]

Hold on.

[Hollis sighs]

Okay, let's go.

[Natalie]

One room and two beds, please.

At this time I've only got

rooms with a single bed.

It's fine.

[inhales sharply]

So, uh, are you two staying

for the whole night?

Yes.

It's 50.

I'll have your change

in the morning.

[Natalie]

Sure.

It's room 12,

checkout's at 11:00.

Excuse me, d-do you

happen to know

the thread count

on the sheets here?

What the f***

are you talkin' about?

No.

[sighs]

So how does this work?

You take the bed,

grab a few hours of sleep

I'll take watch

and then we'll switch.

[sighs]

Is that really necessary?

Yes.

Are you watching me

or out the window?

What about the time I watched

you come out of a window?

Gas station, there were

two closed-circuit cameras

five witnesses at the diner.

Less of an issue

when we are on the move

but now that we are staying put

it would allow for the people

who are following us

to gain back

some of the distance.

In case they do,

I would like to know that

so when it's your turn

to take watch

I expect you

to take it seriously.

Great talk.

Sure enough, that won't

give me nightmares.
