Two Winters Past


Scene 39

INT. HOUSE

COLE is on his knees. SCAR and HELLER stand on either side, guns in hand.

SCAR: What did you say?

COLE: Heller’s bit on the arm.

HELLER: It doesn’t always stick.

SCAR scowls and crouches defensively.

SCAR: (low voice) Sticks enough.

HELLER lifts his sleeve.

HELLER: It’s nothing. We washed it out good. I ain’t going to turn.

SCAR is tense.

HELLER: Sprague wanted to watch it. We ain’t going to know if I’m infected until next week. Until then, we’re going to be shooting Cooleys off our walls. Turner says he wants family alive.

SCAR hesitates, smiles.

SCAR: We can bag Zach Cooley in five minutes, but you’re worried about Cole? Shoot him and be done with it. Even his daddy ain’t going to care if it was self defense!

HELLER: You think Zach Cooley will let himself get taken alive? This one will talk. He goes back to Turner.

SCAR: Cooleys ain’t going to be such a big deal soon, Cole.

HELLER: We’re rebuilding America.

COLE: Killing everyone that disagrees.

SCAR: Battle got to have a casualty.

HELLER: America was built by force, and will be retaken by force. We been doing this to kings since Julius Caesar.

COLE: Take my uncle.

HELLER: You going to fink?

COLE: Keeping zombies was his idea.

SCAR: Oh fuck you, Remmy told me this idea in high school.

COLE: My father was against it.

SCAR: We watched that one movie. Remmy said if he found zombies, he’d lock ‘em up and start an army.

COLE: My uncle done it first, and Remmy helped. That was the last pack we have, and no way Jimmy can lead many back, especially after what Remmy gonna do.
