Panic in Year Zero! Page #4

my credit cards...

I've never been convicted of a felony,

I'm over 21.

This isn't enough.

Is this?

Well, just about.

- Give me a receipt for the cash.

- This isn't a holdup?

- No.

- Then what about the balance?

I'll owe it to you. Write the receipt.

Hold it!

We're in an awful hurry, sir.

I owe you $200. I'll pay you when I can.

In my book, you're just a thug.

If he makes one stupid move, shoot him.

Come on.

Get in the car.

I can't get over it.

After all these years, I thought I knew

you, but you turn out to be a stranger.

Robbing and mauling people

like some kind of a cheap hoodlum.

We're fighting for our lives, Ann.

The main highways are completely choked.

They're spreading out

on all the other roads.

Every footpath

will be crawling with men saying:

"No matter what, I'm going to live."

That's what I'm saying, too.

My family must survive.

Intelligent people don't just turn

their backs on the rest of the world.

Under these conditions, intelligent

people would be the first to try.

- Getting your son to hold a gun on a man.

- Drop it, Ann!

We're on our own, Ma.

No rules, no regulations, and no laws.

Don't write off the law.

The law will come back.

I just want us to be around when it does.

- Boy.

- Want me to drive, Dad?

No, not now, son.

Light me a cigarette, will you?

Thanks.

- Getting low on gas.

- I know.

Want to fill up those cans, too,

the next gas station we reach.

Here are the 11:
00 bulletins.

Partial communication

has now been restored.

Among the targets

of this devastating attack...

were New York, Chicago, Philadelphia,

San Francisco, and Los Angeles.

Damages and casualties

are extremely heavy.

London, Paris, and Rome have suffered

almost total destruction, it was learned.

We have retaliated in kind.

Key targets of our counterattack

have not yet been announced.

Those of you who have shelters

are urged to stay in them.

There are reports of looting.

Proceed with caution.

The organization of military

and law enforcement is underway...

but will take time.

We will return with more bulletins

in two hours.

Dad, look, isn't that the car

that almost wrecked us?

Aren't you going to stop?

30 gallons. That will be $90.

-$90?

- Right.

It says 34, right there.

34 a gallon comes to $10.

I didn't have time to change it yet.

It's $3 a gallon now.

- Why?

- Because people have been paying it.

People say LA's bombed out.

I haven't got $90.

Then you just start hauling out

them cans, Mac.

Of course, it don't have

to be money exactly.

I might settle for some jewelry.

Like a nice watch, maybe.

I'll tell you what,

I'll make you a deal on that trailer.
