Two Winters Past


Scene 28

EXT. FOREST

VALENTINE and POPPER break the wood line over a swimming hole. decades of scraping feet has cleared the soil and vegetation to expose stacked rows of shale teeth above the stream.

POPPER: The road isn’t far.

VALENTINE: Cooleys know about this stream?

POPPER: This is war now. They killed Hazard long before I did anything to Grant. Maybe they all knew I wasn’t for real. Grant was just too dumb to get me first.

They walk on the stream bank.

VALENTINE: Why didn’t you kill me?

POPPER: He probably thought you was my backup as much as I thought you was his. I guess I decided sooner.

VALENTINE: So I saved your life?

POPPER: And I saved yours a minute later. We’re even, you pull your own weight from here out.

VALENTINE: Understood.
