Cowboys vs Dinosaurs Page #4

we gotta go, and we gotta go now.

'Cause they're gonna come back.

Can't we just use a phone in the restaurant,

and we can call for help?

The phones are dead.

- Wait, you came back here for me?

- I did.

Why would you do that?

What choice did I have?

I had to make sure you were safe.

We need to call the sheriff.

He'll know what to do.

There's a CB in the storeroom, and we can

contact him on that, okay? Let's go.

Come on.

You.

Yes, you.

What's your name?

Quaid. My name's Quaid.

Right. Quaid.

So, Quaid, you got a vehicle near here?

Yeah. She's out the diner,

a few blocks up.

All right.

If you can get

your truck down here, Quaid,

I'll give you any amount of money

that you want.

Within reason, of course.

A million bucks.

Million bucks.

All right, a million bucks.

You get your truck back here,

and I will give you a million dollars.

You old wrinkly bag of dung.

You know good and well

that going out these doors is suicide.

And what's a human life worth to you?

- A million bucks?

- Hell, I'll do it for a million bucks.

No, you won't!

Ain't no one gonna stick

their neck out for this jerk.

I told you. I told you what was

down there, and you didn't listen.

And now you're gonna pay for it

in this life or the next.

Hello? Hello, can anyone hear me?

Hello? Over.

Hello.

Val, things are never gonna be

the way that they were.

I don't want them to be

the way they were.

Well, is this what you imagined

coming back here?

Hello. Hello, can anyone hear me?

Hello? Over.

Sky, honey, is that you?

- Henry!

- Sky, are you there?

Yes, Henry, it's me. Hi, hey.

- God, baby, are you all right?

- Yes. I'm at the diner, and I'm with Val.

- Are you hurt?

- No, nothing serious.

- Henry, what happened?

- The whole town's under attack.

Something came out of the mine.

Is your location secure?

Give me that.

Henry, this is Val.

Our location is severely compromised.

Okay, we gotta go. How's your location?

It's not good. We're...

We're getting low on ammo,

and those things have us

completely surrounded.

Is that Val Walker? The Val Walker?

Let me talk to him, Henry.

I know him. Come on.

- Val, is that you?

- Yeah. Who is this?

It's Quaid. You remember me?

- We worked together as hands for Lou.

- Yeah, Quaid. How you doing?

I've seen better days, friend.

Look, we're in a real pickle down here

at the bar. What's your location?

- I'm at the... I'm at the diner with Sky.

- Is there anyone left alive?

Doesn't look like it.

Okay, this is what I want you to do.

I want you to go out of the back

of the diner. Look to the left of the alley.

You're gonna see my orange

pickup truck. You can't miss it.

Now, underneath the driver's seat

is a kill switch.

Look at the column,

and you'll see the black and red wire.

Now, you just rub 'em together, okay?

You rub 'em together.

And you and Sky,

you get the hell out of here.

Don't try to play hero. You got me?

No!

No!

He comes here, and he picks me up.

The minute they stop,

those things will mob him.

What's your situation like?

We'll manage.

Just go for help.

Here.

You made your bed,

and now you can die in it.

I'm sorry.

Cover me.

You can do this, okay?

Val.

Val!

We gotta hurry. Val, let's go!

Come on, Val, hurry! Let's go!

Kill switch!

That's it.

Val, there's nobody here.

Come on. Those boys ain't gonna make it

the next hour without some help.

Nearest town's four hours away.

Where did all this come from?

Quaid. He's an anarchist at heart.

You know, I bet he's actually

enjoying this in a way.

How can you joke like that?

Like what?

Like what? Like that.

Half the town's dead, Val,

and you're cracking jokes.

- This ain't no joke.

- No, it's not. You're a joke.

You're the real joke, Val.

Do you honestly think

that you're just gonna cowboy up

and ride into town guns a blazing?

They said to get help.

Yeah, and you're real inclined

to listen to that sheriff, ain't ya?

Why did you leave me?

What is wrong with you?

Three years,

and you just come waltzing back?

What did you honestly think

was gonna happen here?

What?

What? I hate you!

I hate you! I hate you!

I hate you, Val! I hate you!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

What are you up to?

Blood is a carrier for oxygen

in us human beings,

but in these reptiles that have

been living underground...

if you're right... they've had

to adapt to thriving on methane.

Their blood is carrying gas,

methane, propane.

Okay, what's your point?

Well, their Achilles Heel would be where

blood is in its highest concentration.

The brain and the heart. Smart.

All right, Joe, get her a bottle

of high proof alcohol, whiskey,

- and some rags from the bar.

- Okay.

- How much ammo you got left?

- 10, 12 rounds.

Good. Look, it's a straight shot

from here to the station,

and you've got some other cars

back there, right? Right?

Yeah. My deputy's car should be there,

but my deputy should still be there.

Good.

All right, this is the plan.

They got a big PA system over here.

I'm gonna work my way over there,

figure out how to switch it on,

then when the time's right,

we're gonna blast a lot of music out there,

then we're gonna hightail it out of here

back to the station, okay?

Look, we are going to find

your girlfriend, then get out of here.

What about the rest?

I had something like this

happened in Belize.

Look, it's... it's like this.

There's a ton of iridium in that mine.

Now, anyone that helps me

now or in the future

stands to be very, very rich.

Unfortunately, there is going to be

some collateral damage,

but it won't be us.

Okay?

Okay.

Remember, stay inside

and you lock the doors.

Fuel line's tore out.

You're history.

Do you hear that?

- Maybe it's help on the way.

- Yeah.

That don't sound like help to me.

Something's coming. Focus all

your attention right down the middle.

Brace yourselves. They're getting close.

Who turned on the music?

Marcus! Marcus, wait!

Unbelievable.

Hurry up with that thing!

- Joe! Joe! No! Joe!

- Oh, no.

Move it up. We've got

to get ourselves to higher ground.

You got any incendiaries, tracers,

flares, anything like that?

Val, it's the gas. They light up

like fireworks if you hit 'em right.

- There's some at the sheriff's station.

- Okay, let's go.

Hold on. I'll go get them.

You guys head out, get to higher ground.

I'll meet you at the grain elevator.

Leave those tracers to me.

Come on!

Well, I'll be damned. He is back.

Yo! Come on! Come on, doggie!

All right. Let's go!

Come on!

Oh, my God.

Keys. Where are the keys?

Damn it.

All right, now keep your sights open

and shoot anything that crawls.

We're gonna secure this doorway for Val.

Where's that goddamn heliport?

I know it's around here somewhere.

What...

Hello. Can you hear me? Hello!

Not bad?

- You guys okay?

- Yeah, yeah.

All right, let's move

to the high ground. Go.

Help me with this.

We're surrounded.

All right, everybody,

focus all your fire on this door!
