23 Minutes to Sunrise Page #3

every other a**hole who

thinks they can just

walk all over me.

I'm not puttin' up

with any sh*t anymore.

Look- look at me.

She didn't mean it like that.

Relax- hey...

She's not like that.

She just thought you looked too young.

- Yeah, well,

I'm old enough...

I promise you that.

I'm old enough.

Look at me...

You OK?

Yeah.

I'm old enough.

Eddie...

I know you.

Don't I.

Of course you do, Eddie.

Why are you here?

I don't think you realize

how lucky you am.

So few people actually meet

me more than once And look-

You're here. I'm here.

Together again.

Sunrise.

She's busy.

Not your personal secretary, bro.

Yeah. Yeah, I'll

give her the message.

I said I'd give it to her.

Who was that?

Prince charming.

What'd he want?

He's comin' by.

Said he wants you

to meet him outside.

Why'?

Didn't say.

When?

Couple of minutes.

Why can'! he just leave

me alone at work'?

Why don't you just tell him to stay away'?

Hell, blame it on me.

Yeah.

He already thinks we

got something gain' on.

Then I'll tell him then.

No.

That'll just make it worse.

What are you doing here, Ken?

Gimmie my money.

I gave you money this morning.

Gimmie my money!

This? You think this is

your money'!

Give me my f***ing money!!

This is not your...

Gel off of me! Stop it!

Take it!

- Get out of my f***in' car!

You know, you're not worth it.

Hey! Take it easy on the door.

F*** YOU!

You OK?

I'm fine.

Did he hurt you'!

I just need to use

the little girls' room.

Hey... hey.

Do you want me to give you

a ride home tonight?

I said I'd be fine.

Hey listen you piece of sh*t.

You ever touch Sheila again and I will personally

rip off your balls and shove 'em up your ass.

You hear me?

Never touch Sheila again.

This is Eddie.

Oh yeah... F*** you.

Would you mind putting that out?

Did your wife send you

over here to tell me that?

Does it bother you?

Me? No.

Men are such chumps.

Well'! Is he going to stop'!

Well, he said he'd quit if you got your

boyfriend to go over there to ask him.

Now, I don't believe him,

why don't you find out'?

Well, I can see that this conversation

isn't going much further.

I need more time.

I've given you 250 years.

Not that much time.

One day. Tomorrow.

No.

I have no friends.

I have no family.

I can't ever let someone

know who I really am.

This isn't life.

Who am I going to

convince in 17 minutes'!

That's your problem.

Maybe Eddie?

I don't think so.

He's already checked out.

How do you know that?

How do I know anything?

Does he know who you are?

He knows.

He doesn't seem

to remember but ...he knows.

You OK?

No.

There's not a lot I can do

about that right now.

You know, there is something

really wrong with that guy.

The one with the little girl.

She is in some sort of big trouble.

And he is it.

If she's with him, then

she's bad news too. Trust me.

Do you know them'!

I've met him before, but that's not even the point.

The point is I need you to trust me.

Stay away from them. OK?

Wait a minute-

What do you mean?

Listen... I just need you

to trust me.

Just stay away from them.

I can't explain right now, but

just trust me.

OK.

Does this change things?

More than you'll ever know.

I hope so.

Look- it's not gonna happen, ck'!

We're not going back there.

What am I supposed to do'!

Walk around naked all the time?

Look, come on.

You don't have to come in.

I'll run up to my room really quick

throw the stuff I need into a bag.

And be back down in 5 minutes.

Please?

Yeah, well, what if he's there'?

What then'!

Well, if he is,

I'll skip it, ck'?

I told you if I see that bastard

again I'm gonna f***in' kill him.

He would never be awake this time of night.

Listen.

- Please try'!

Baby, baby, listen.

We're not gain' back there.

Not for anything,

and not for anybody.

This is it for us.

Don't you understand?

Hey.

It's me and you. Ok?

Look. We'll stop somewhere tomorrow and

we'll get you a new outfit, allright?

And anyways, when you get to Vegas,

you're going to want a new look, right'!

OK.

It's going to be fine, babe.

Got you.

Hey Eddie.

You need something.

I'll get the waitress for you.

No, Eddie, I don't

need the waitress.

Let's talk.

About what'?

I'm kind of busy over here.

Do you know my friend out there?

He says you know him.

Yeah. I think so.

Why'?

So you know who he is'!

Maybe. Look, I have a lot of work

I need to finish here, ck'?

So whatever the two of you have planned,

please just leave me out of it.

I have a proposition for you.

I really can't afford a

piece of ass right now.

You don't look like the

kind of guy who needs to pay.

What do you want from me'?

I have a special gift.

You're lucky enough to

survive a plane crash.

Sort of.

Good for you.

Look at them Eddie.

All of them.

"Body never found."

"Police failed to

locate the body."

"No body. No body... No body."

It's more than luck.

I don't die.

I'm happy for you

Look at the date. 1956.

Look at me Eddie.

How old do I look to you?

- What is it that you want from me?

Do you want to

live forever Eddie'!

Gel out of my kitchen.

Go. Now. Gel out of my kitchen.

Eddie, I can give you this gift.

Would you and your friend go

find someone else to mess with.

It's true, Eddie.

It's true.

No, it's not. Would you please

leave my kitchen now! Now.

What are you doing with that knife?

Put the knife down.

What the f***!

All you have to do is say yes.

Gel out.

Just think about it Eddie.

You can have it all.

Mind your own business.

Who would do that'!

Perfect.

hot sauce...

Oh my god Eddie, what happened!

Are you hurt'?

I'm fine.

It's not my blood.

What!

I don't wanna do this.

Hey, come on.

You're fine. You're ready.

I promise. Look-

Can't I just wait in the car?

No.

- Please?

You're not waiting

in the car. Look-

You're just going to follow me,

you can have the bag,

Nobody is gonna come near you

because if they do,

I got this.

This isn't my first rodeo. Ok?

I love you.

Me too.

We're closing early.

You and me, we're leaving.

Ok, Let's go get a cup of

coffee breakfast.

Something.

Eddie, what about those

folks out there'!

Give 'em their checks.

Better yet, tell 'em

it's on the house.

I don't care, just...

just get 'em outta here.

What the heck, Eddie'!

Now you're scaring me.

When I was in the Army -

over in the Middle East-

my buddy and me

were on patrol.

As we were walking along a road,

I saw someone run

behind a building.

I left my buddy to

go check it out.

As I was walking around the

corner of the building,

somebody started shooting at me.

I dove in behind the building,

and my buddy Billy took off

to go find cover.

He jumped behind a car and

started to return fire.

When the enemy fire stopped

I started to run

where Billy was.

I got about 30 feet from the car

when the whole thing just...

just went up.

An IED.

The explosion was so big,

it blew me

back on my ass,

but I really wasn't hurt.
