Scene 30
EXT. FOREST
The stream shallows enough that POPPER and VALENTINE can cross on large dry stones.
POPPER: Is it true what you said about the radios?
VALENTINE: I don’t know. He came from Syracuse, said they had reception there. He got stuck with us in the snow, and monsters were waiting when it thawed.
POPPER: Everyone gone?
VALENTINE: I got out, waited as long as I could to see if anyone else survived.
POPPER: Syracuse man gave you his gun?
VALENTINE: I saw him go down. They ripped him to pieces. I took the gun not knowing it was empty. Realized when I was running that I hadn’t seen him fire in a while.
POPPER: Why’d you keep it?
VALENTINE: I figured I could trade. I didn’t have any food or water, at least I could look intimidating.
POPPER: How long ago?
VALENTINE: I got out of the city the next morning. The highway had a lot of activity, so I walked woods and backwoods, staying in empty houses. Maybe three, four days.
POPPER: I’ve been down in the Cooley compound for two weeks. Those cavemen went out and captured every woman under thirty they could find, call them ‘slaves.’
VALENTINE: Can we save them?
POPPER: It’s not as bad as it sounds. The Cooleys probably saved a lot of lives, and there are too many women to be treated as badly as the Cooley boys would like. It’s common knowledge they need every bullet they have for the zombies.
VALENTINE: Except for the bullets they shot at us?
POPPER: Cooleys are dumb as shit.
