Where is he?

I don’t know. He should be here by now.

I know. That’s why I asked.

Sorry.

Don’t be.

Jack?

What.

Do you think he’ll keep his word?

Maybe.

This morning it was yes.

I changed my mind.

You shouldn’t.

Things change.

Your word shouldn’t.

This isn’t on our terms.

That’s extremely obvious. I mean, did you seriously think this would work out?

Hasn’t it so far?

He’s not here.

So he’s a little late.

He shouldn’t be. This is important.

Yeah, will.

What?

Just relax a little bit.

Really? Your telling me to relax?

That’s what I said.

Don’t be a smart a**.

Sorry.

You should be. I’m just trying to help.

I know.

Is there a number we could call?

What would you say?

I’m thinking you would be the one saying something.

No.

What?

There’s no number.

How do you know?

Because I set this up.

Oh. Right.

Right.

Is it too late?

What?

Is it too late to end this?

Its been too late for a while.

We shouldn’t have done this.

I know.

Couldn’t we leave, though? Buy a plane ticket to France or something?

They’d find us.

We could hide.

No.

Why not?

Because it would be pointless. They’d find us eventually.

So.

I can’t live like that. Knowing.

I could.

Then leave.

I don’t have any money.

Is that really a problem?

No.

So go hide.

I might.

You might want to do so quickly.

Why’s that?

Because he’s here.

No he’s not.

I know.

Then why did you just say that?

Because I wanted to see if you would really leave. And now I know you wouldn’t.

You really think that I wouldn’t?

I don’t think that you could.

Your wrong.

Then leave.

Do you want me to?

Truthfully, I don’t really care.

Your an a**.

So I’ve heard.

What’s wrong with you?

With me? Nothing, though I don’t think the same could be said for you.

Go to hell.

I’m just kidding.

What a great joke. I’m reeling with laughing.

Sorry.

Lets leave.

Okay.

Damn it.

What?

He’s here.

Oh.
