Slow Burn Page #3

where they met a set of tire tracks.

Hey!

Sorry to bother ya. Wouldn't you know it?

Our truck wiped out.

We were hopin' you

could give us a ride...

El norte.

What are you doing out here?

W-w-we could pay you.

I'm not some taxi.

W-we're just out here

collecting rocks.

We must have took

a wrong turn somewhere.

We're on our way to Texas.

Where you goin'?

Get in.

Come on, Marcus.

The back.

We've got to stock up on water.

Gabby's tank's up there

where those three rocks are.

- You've gotta be shittin' me.

- I mean, what...

Hey, hey. Whoa, whoa. You gotta take

all that stuff out of the truck now?

I'm not rigged for passengers.

There's nothing out here

but a thousand dead ends.

You know, I'll bet

we could hire a lawyer,

sort out the past, all the bad things

we ever done. You got that right.

I'd like to get a house too.

Definitely a house.

With a yard

so I can have a big dog.

Hell, you can get three of 'em.

We need new clothes too.

Definitely new duds.

- Nothin' with stripes on 'em, right, Marcus?

- Nothin' but giorgio Armani.

Look at that.

A lifetime in the makin'.

So what are you gonna do with

the big score, Marcus? Me?

Ah, well...

What?

I never, uh...

- Sh*t!

- Yes...

why didn't you stop it?

Wha... go get the box.

- Now, how are we supposed to get out of here alive?

- Settle down, all right?

Duster, come on. Chop-chop.

Give me the box.

Could you help me, please?

Keep pushing. I'm gonna go

try and bounce it off.

Keep pushing!

Ready?

One, two, three.

Duster, you know what an intelligent

man would do in this situation?

Sit and watch.

A real intelligent man would

put his back into it, Marcus.

All right.

Watch it! Watch it!

You all right?

Where's the box?

Where's the box?

You were holdin' it!

Where's the f***in' box?

I found it.

It's right here.

Hey, is this thing important?

What is it?

This thing better not

put any kinks in my plans.

What plans, Marcus?

I don't want my future slippin' away

before I figure out what it is.

That's what you'll get.

Booze is just the first step.

I know the rest

of the 12 steps.

I'm gonna use that booze

to start a little business.

I get myself a house, a yard, a dog.

That's my future.

There is no future!

We don't have any way to fix the

truck, and you can't walk out of here.

In four days that water will be gone,

and then you and me are gonna be dead.

Isn't this funny, Marcus? Yeah.

Funny if it's happenin'

to someone else.

I-I-in the future they'll buy us

steak dinners, limousines.

But the here and now,

our big score is worthless.

They can't even buy us

12 hours of water.

Hey, you got anything useful

in that saddlebag?
