Scene 26
INT. ATTIC
COLE is at the window. HELLER sits in a rocking chair inspecting his injured arm.
COLE: We get some hot water in that and you’ll probably be fine. It’s a slow infection. I’ve seen lots of people bit that don’t turn.
HELLER: (increasingly agitated) Dr. Sprague says that’s a myth. He says you get bit, you become one. Just takes time. It’s an infection in the blood. Everyone bit turns...
COLE: Knock it off.
COLE stands, tosses white towel to HELLER.
COLE: Wrap that up. There’s tape on the table over there. We need to make it back to the compound.
HELLER: I’m not going anywhere with you, especially not to the Cooley farm.
COLE draws a knife.
COLE: So I kill you?
HELLER: Come to the Castle.
COLE: Turner has been rattling his saber for months. If you tell him what you saw, he forgets all about these Muslims...
HELLER: Turner’s not like that...
COLE: Turner wants war. My brother wants war. My uncle will kill both of us to start it. We barely have enough people for a few communities and we’re already starting a war.
COLE brandishes knife.
COLE: You don’t come back to the compound, I got to kill you.
