The Lookout Page #6

Just bring the check.

- You're kidding, right?

- Just bring the check.

Wait.

Go ahead.

- Good night.

- Good night.

Don't think I haven't noticed.

I've been watching you.

The new clothes,

the way you've been acting.

I'm not a fool, Chris.

I found this in my drawer.

And I realized

you've come a long way since then

and that perhaps

I've been a little unfair.

After the holidays we'll get you

some regular time behind the window.

After all, Mrs. Lange

isn't gonna be around forever.

Good night, Chris.

Oh, and don't forget to lock the door.

- Hello.

- Lewis, it's me. I really messed up.

I don't know why,

but I said I would do it.

They're gonna be here soon,

and I don't wanna do it anymore.

- What?

- I really wanted to tell you before.

Look, I'll be home in an hour. Whatever

mess you made, I'll clean it up.

I'm not at home, I'm at the bank...

Hey.

Gary.

I can't do this. You guys do

whatever you want, I won't say anything,

but I'm just not gonna do it.

I understand. Tell you what,

why don't you go home, relax,

and we'll just send you a check.

Now go in there, get your mop,

do your job and shut your f***ing mouth.

Deputy Doughnut.

That's a gun. Just know it's there.

But talk to him like normal.

Go.

- Hey, Ted.

- Hey.

- Cold out, huh?

- Yeah, I guess.

Starting tomorrow, Phillip Costello's

gonna be taking over my shift.

- How come?

- You forget? Baby?

Yeah.

Anyway, I just wanted you to know.

Hey, Ted.

I'm sorry about the other night,

what I said.

Forget it. I know you can't help it.

I'll see you later.

Very nice.

Oh, man.

Put your f***ing gloves back on.

Chris.

OK. OK.

Go and get it.

- That's all of it.

- You can bring the car around back.

Go.

Car.

Don't move.

Sh*t. Cop.

- Jesus! It's Deputy Doughnut.

- Shut the f*** up.

Chris?

Chris! You in there?

Chris!

Oh, God.

Oh, f***.

Move away from the wall!

Put your hands on your head!

Don't think! Just do it!

Who's the shotgun? Who's the shotgun?

- Ted?

- Don't you f***ing move!

- It's me.

- Shut up! Put your hands on your...

Ted, there's another one!

There's another...

Help me.

Help him, Bone.

Chris!

Chris!

Chris!

F***, f***, f***!

F***, f***, f***, f***!

No.

License and registration, please.

- You were driving with your lights off.

- Just because of the f***ing fireflies.

- Excuse me?

- I just wanted to show her...

I wanted to see her face...

I'm in so much trouble.

They all died, and it's my fault.

- Take it easy.

- They're gonna kill me.

- Chris Pratt.

- Yes, sir.

Go on home. Whatever it is

you think they're mad at,

probably isn't as bad

as you think it is.

- You want me to follow you?

- No.

Good night, then.

- Hello.

- Are you OK?

- I'm fine. Why wouldn't I be?

- Because the lights are on.

- They're up there, aren't they?

- Just get out of here.

Come on up here,

and we can figure this out.

- You're gonna shoot me.

- I just wanna talk to you.

There's a camera in the vault. There's

a shovel and some bags in this car.

You're gonna kill me

and bury me somewhere.

You're gonna blame the whole thing...

A good teller is primarily

a good counter.

My friend would like to buy you a drink.

I'll say it again.

Maybe you'll write it down this time.

Whoever has the money has the power.

Start at the end. Can't tell a story

if you don't know where it's going.

F***er shot me through and through.

Where you been, Christopher?

- Hiding the money.

- What?

I'll meet you at six o'clock

at the mayor's Christmas tree.

That's over an hour away.

Where the f*** are you and the money?

I'm gonna pick up Lewis. Once we're

safe, I'll tell you where the money is.

No, no. Now, listen to me.

The bank is a mess.

We all gotta get out of here, that

includes you. I can help you with that.

I get caught, I'll take my chances.

They might not even believe me.

It's not your life

that you're taking a chance with.

Now, Bone will cut this blind

piece of sh*t right up the middle.

- No, he won't.

- Yes, he will.

- I have the power.

- What?

I have the money, which means I have

the power, right? I have the power.

- Just listen.

- No, you listen to me.

Six o'clock. The mayor's Christmas tree.

I have the money. I have the power.

I have the power. Six o'clock.

And Lewis better not have a mark on him.

- Kelly?

- It's about time.

I wondered when you were gonna

get up your nerve to say hello.

- I wanted to. I've been wanting to.

- I miss you.

I miss talking to you.

You're not mad at me anymore?

You've never seen it, you know.

You wanna see it?

See what?

It's a part of me now.

Sit down.

- Where is it?

- He says he doesn't remember.

- Lewis, are you OK?

- I'm terrific.

Don't do this, Chris.

Just tell me where it is.

- I don't know where it is.

- Bullshit.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Jesus Christ.

Get up.

What? Huh?

I know. You wanna kill me.

I've gotta kill Bone first.

I'm standing here asking myself,

you know,

"Is he really that dumb?"

F*** you!

Or, you know, "Is he really that smart?"

He don't remember.

He doesn't remember.

Where's your notebook, huh?

Where's your little notebook?

Where is it? Is it in here?

Here it is. What's this?

You know,

all those shitty-ass farm girls,

you know, they all look alike.

There's only one

that you'll remember, right?

Bone, he buried it. He's buried it.

Well, you know, let's go and dig it up.

Come on. Come on.

You know, there was a three-

or four-day period in this whole thing,

I just thought we could,

you know, leave you behind.

I thought if it all went well,

you could go back to your life.

Such as it was.

Throw it up. Now.

Bring up the other one.

It's getting warmer, huh?

You have to come over here now.

Come on.

Am I dead?

I must be. No one's talking to me.

- You're not dead.

- Oh! Praise Jesus.

Stay put.

Did you really forget?

Once upon a time, I woke up

and I robbed the Noel Town Bank.

I returned the money

and confessed my part,

but in the end the FBI

decided that someone like me

could never pull off

something like that.

Marty cut the phone line

instead of the video feed,

so the whole thing

was caught on the bank cameras.

I still go to class, and they tell me my

sequencing is getting better, and I...

Oh, wait. The restaurant.

Mr. Tuttle gave us the loan.

You gave me a dollar too much.

He comes in once in a while for lunch.

I started skating again.

I'm not as good as I used to be,

but I'm OK.

What happened that night on old Route 24

is a part of me now.

I just hope that one day

Kelly will be ready to see me again

and I can finally tell her what

I've only been able to say in my dreams.

Until then all I can do is wake up,

take a shower with soap,

and try to forgive myself.

And if I can do that,

then maybe others will forgive me, too.

I don't know if that will happen.

I guess I'll just have to

work backwards from there.
