Bridge to Nowhere (1986) Movie Script

(wind blowing)

(subdued music)

- I'm not gonna go at

all if he has to come.

- I'm sick and tired

of repeating myself.

- You don't give me a chance.

- You will not go on this trip

unless you go with your brother.

Now there's nothing wrong

with Carl going with you.

- I don't have to take him!

- [Woman] Look, I'm sick

of arguing with you.

Good grief, you're

only 17 years old.

- Only 17?

Oh, that's wonderful, isn't it?

You know how many times

I've brought this moron?

- You get to do

a lot more things

than I ever did at your age.

- [Girl] Bloody only 17.

- Don't be so cheeky.

I will not be spoken to.

- Look, I don't

want to go, okay?

- Julie doesn't have to take

her little sister

along with her.

- Mom.

Mom.

You awake?

Mom, I have to go now.

I have to go.

- Have you got everything?

- Yeah.

- You look great.

Give us a kiss.

Take care, darling.

Have fun.

- [Girl] Yeah.

- [Boy] I'm off, Dad!

- Hold it.

Turn around.

Right round.

Stand up straight.

Off you go.

- Bye, Dad.

- Bye.

Have a nice time, son.

- He'll ruin the whole weekend!

- What the hell's going on here?

- Dad, I don't have to

take that pain, do I?

- Would you please

back me up on this?

- [Girl] Dad.

- Tanya, shut up.

Carl, get dressed.

You're going.

Over there.

These happy feet.

(uptempo music on radio)

Gotta keep bouncing, gang.

(girl laughs)

- [Girl] Check out my moves.

- [Boy] Hey.

Hey, what's the matter, Carl?

Got two left feet?

(people laughing)

(chattering in the distance)

Come on.

Beautiful.

- [Boy] Hurry up.

This is great.

It's great.

- [Tanya] Come on, Jules.

(imitating monkeys)

- Hurry up, Carl.

Hey, Carl.

Are you coming in?

- Uh, no.

I have to light a

fire or something.

- Carl!

- Hey, you guys!

Come on, come on in!

- [Boy] Hurry up!

- Jesus, Carl.

Don't be such a cunt.

Oh, Jesus, you lot.

For Christ's sake, come on.

- Hurry up, Julie.

- Come on, Julie.

- [Boy] Come on, let's go.

- [Boy] Don't worry

about that dork.

He couldn't swim in

a bath if he tried.

- Jesus.

(laughing)

- Ta.

- What do you write

in that thing?

- It's private.

Nobody's allowed

to look in here.

I write my secrets in here.

- Hmm.

- One day maybe I'll show

it to someone special,

but he'll have to

be very special

'cause my secrets are special.

- Like your little

secrets, don't you?

- They're mine.

- Hmm.

Is it a mouse?

(laughing)

- [Girl] Me expert

in origami arts.

(yelling)

- [Boy] Most honorable

death this way I feel.

- [Boy] You mind

if I sit with you?

- [Girl] Yeah, if you like.

- [Boy] Hey, take

it easy on Julie.

- Leon, don't give

me a hard time.

- I love you too, Gray.

Don't fight it, Marshall.

It's bigger than the both of us.

- Oh, Brad.

- Janet.

Oh, come on, now.

Cut it out, will ya?

- Story, story.

- No story, straight to bed.

- Julie.

- Yeah?

- Look, I know this is a

pretty funny situation.

- What do you mean?

- Leon's been trying to get

into Tanya for months, right?

And he's got us

along so he can...

I mean, we are expected to...

I just want you to know you

don't have to do anything.

What I mean is that...

Oh, shit.

Hello, I'm Gray.

- (laughs) Hi, I'm Julie.

- Leon, don't.

Okay.

- Hey, none of that.

(laughing)

Hey, do you want

to go for a walk?

- Why?

- Because I wanna look at

the natural environment

of the native birds of

nocturnal life of New Zealand.

(both laugh)

- Julie.

- [Julie] Yeah?

- Can I give you a kiss?

- [Julie] Yeah.

- Oh, come on.

- No, not tonight.

- Why not?

- Because.

- Is it the time of the month?

- No.

- Well, what's your problem?

- There's no problem.

I don't have to have

a problem to say no.

- Of course you don't have to

have a problem, but why not?

- I've got a choice, haven't I?

- Sure you've got a choice.

You've got heaps of choices.

- Well, good, good, good.

- Pick whichever one you want.

Great.

- Who wants to dance?

- Um, yeah, I do.

- Good one, Julie.

- Stick with Julie.

(uptempo music)

- [Lise] Mac, your turn.

Mac.

(plastic clatters)

- What happened?

- Took three of your men

and crowned one of mine.

- My turn?

- (laughs) You're too slow.

Don't worry.

They'll be gone soon.

(uptempo music)

- Hey, Carl.

Carl, mate.

Come and see.

Look what we found.

Put it away, hurry up.

It's amazing.

- Yeah, what is it?

- It's a skeleton.

A human skeleton.

- Bullshit.

- No bullshit, man.

Come and have a

look for yourself.

I reckon it's a

murder or something.

There's a big crack down

the middle of its forehead.

- [Carl] Yeah?

- Yeah, come on.

Could be a hundred

years old or so, man.

I mean, it could be the

Mary Walls or anything.

Mind you, it could

be recent, too.

Who knows.

An unsolved murder.

Christ.

Just around here.

(flatulating)

- Oh, yuck!

(laughing)

- Woo-hoo!

Ha-ha!

You like that, eh, boy?

Yeah, kiss my ass.

Eh, Carl?

- Pretty good, eh?

- Yeah, it reminded

me of your face, mate.

- Oh, did it, mate, eh?

Oh, eh?

You're quite a smart

lad, aren't ya, eh?

Hey?

Put one right through your ears.

Come on.

- Come on.

(Carl grunts)

- You're in the way here, mate.

You know that?

Your mommy and daddy

might want you here,

but I sure as hell don't.

Neither does your sister, mate.

You get the message?

- I think he's a little

deaf in one ear, Leon.

- Hey, you know

what causes that?

Seen the way he's been

looking at Julie Big Tits, eh?

- Fuck you!

- Hey, going for broke, eh?

- Why don't you

just leave me alone?

- We will leave you alone.

Eh, Gray?

- Yeah, we'll leave

you alone, mate.

- I'll tell you what.

You leave us alone,

we'll leave you alone.

Deal?

Deal, Carl?

- Deal.

- I knew you'd understand.

- [Gray] Good man.

- Hey.

You bathe for us tonight.

- Yeah.

(laughs) Bridge to Nowhere.

(yelling)

- Shut up.

Think I can hear something.

- Let's go catch

up with the others.

- Mac!

- Shut up, Lise.

Want yourself a

bull, do you, boy?

Well, go catch one

with your bare hands

if you've got the balls.

And if one hair of

one dog is harmed,

I'll shove this peas

shooter right up your ass.

- I'm sorry, mister.

- You, take him home.

- Jesus.

Lise, your old man's crazy!

What the hell are

you staring at?

- Let's go home.

Please.

- I don't need any of your pity.

- Look, I'm not

pitying you, Leon.

Just forget about it.

It's all right, we'll go home.

- [Leon] Don't!

- Leon.

- We came to see the bridge.

Came to see the bridge, right?

Right?

- You did.

- Oh, great.

Well, I'm going

to see the bridge.

You coming, you guys?

Well, let's go see the bridge.

(tense music)

- [Gray] Hey, Leon.

Slow down.

- If you can't cut

it, you can stick it.

I'm going to the bridge.

- Oh, shit.

(bull mooing)

- [Mac] Shut up, bull.

(dogs barking)

(tense music)

- Well, there's your

Bridge to Fucking Nowhere.

Suppose he thinks

he owns that, too.

- [Tanya] Slow down, Leon!

- [Leon] What are

you, a bunch of wimps?

- [Gray] Hey, Leon.

Slow down.

- Come on, we've

gotta see the bridge.

Our route.

Well, where's the music, Gray?

This is what we

came for, isn't it?

Let's have some music.

Okay, we've made it.

We got here.

We've arrived.

The Bridge to Nowhere,

where nothing happens.

That's what you're

into, isn't it, Tanya?

Nothing happening?

Plenty of promises though, eh?

Nowhere, Tanya.

You know that place.

You like it?

I do.

Land of the wild man.

That's why you're

doing this, Tanya?

- Shut up, Leon.

- Well, stick that up

your ass, wild man.

- I want to get close to him,

but I just don't know how.

I just don't know what to do.

- [Julie] Do you want

me to talk to him?

- No, I've got to do it.

- What's the matter, Leon?

We've got a couple of

birds here, got a fire,

got some booze, we're

out in the bush.

Here we are just hanging around

like a couple of schmucks.

- You've gotta stop me.

- What?

- You've gotta stop me, mate.

- Leon, look, no one can

stop you when you get going.

You know that.

- It's going out

of control, man.

It's going crazy.

You've got to stop me.

- Hey, look, mate.

Why don't we just

have a good time, eh?

Have another drink and You'll

forget all about it, I bet ya.

- Okay, man.

Have a good time.

- Yeah, good time.

- Yeah, man.

Let's have a good time, eh?

- Yeah.

- You want a good time?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, then come on!

- [Gray] Hey, hey!

Stop it, stop!

- Hey!

- [Gray] Stop!

Stop it!

- Come on, everyone.

Do you want to have a party?

Party time.

Hey!

Hey, Tanya.

What's the matter with ya?

Huh?

Hey, Tanya.

I'm sorry.

Tanya, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I've behaved like this

and it's upset you and

it's upset you, Julie.

I'm sorry that I've made

it hard for everyone

and just get on and

have a good time

and come to the bridge and

just enjoy it, you know?

I just want to...

Look, Tanya.

I just wanna be

away from everyone.

I don't mean that

rudely, you know?

I like you, Julie.

I just want to be

away from everyone.

Just you and I, okay?

Can we just go away

from everyone just

for a bit, you know?

- Okay.

- Will we?

- Okay, I want to have

a talk with you, Leon.

- Okay, come on.

Let's talk.

- Don't worry,

I'll be all right.

- Come on.

I want to talk to you, too.

I said I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, okay, Tanya?

I know I've gone over the top.

- [Tanya] It's fine.

- [Leon] No, come on.

Let's just get away from

the others a bit further.

- [Tanya] It's far enough.

I came here to talk

to you, all right?

Leon, listen to me.

- [Gray] Come on, then.

Let us have a party.

(uptempo music)

- Stop it!

Listen to me!

For once, listen.

Please.

Please, I think I love you.

Is that so terrible?

You don't have to be frightened.

Just be honest.

Just be you.

Look at me.

Just look at who I am.

I don't want to hurt you, Leon.

I just want you to love me.

Leon, just love me.

Just love me, please.

- No, I don't!

I don't know you!

I don't love you!

No, no, no, no, no!

I Know what you

want, bloody woman!

You're all the same!

You just want to make

it short, you bitch!

I'll show you what love is!

We're in love!

(Tanya crying)

(fabric rips)

- Julie!

Julie!

He tried to rape me.

- [Leon] Tanya!

- Don't you touch me!

- You bastard!

- I hate you!

- [Leon] You hate me, do ya?

- Hey, that's my sister, mate.

- Sister, is it?

- Hey, Leon.

Take it easy.

Stop it, Leon.

- Stop it, eh?

What a mate you

turned out to be, eh?

You're just a joke, Gray.

Big-lipped dogs.

Bunch of girls.

- [Tanya] Go on, run away.

- [Leon] Well, fuck you, too.

- [Tanya] Don't come back.

- [Leon] Bitch!

(Tanya crying)

- Tanya, you all right?

- Just leave me alone!

- [Julie] Just leave

her alone, Gray.

- You're just the same!

(Tanya sobbing)

- Idiots, dogs.

You're a bunch of dogs!

Shit.

- I tried to talk to him, Julie.

He wouldn't listen.

- [Julie] Hey.

- Just threw me down

on the ground and.

- [Julie] It'll be all right.

- How could he tell me he loves

me and then turn around and?

- [Julie] I know.

- Why'd he have to

be so frightened?

- [Julie] It's okay.

- I shouldn't have done it.

I shouldn't have come.

We shouldn't have come, Julie.

- [Julie] No, it's

gonna be all right.

- Hey, is she all right?

- [Julie] Yeah, she'll be okay.

- Hey, don't worry

about it, sis.

He's not worth it.

- We can't just leave him here.

He'll get lost or something.

- Well, I hope he does.

- Leon!

Leon!

- Why'd you do that, mate?

Eh?

Why did I, man?

- [Gray] You're gonna

get lost out there, Leon!

- [Leon] You're a mug.

- [Gray] Come back, Leon!

Leon!

- [Tanya] Get lost, then!

- [Leon] Well, fuck

you too, you bitch.

- We don't have to have a

lousy time just because of him.

(soft jazz music)

Come on, Carl.

- You want to dance?

- Dance with me.

- Hey, let's dance.

(Tanya laughing)

(water sloshing)

- Mac.

Come here.

Stop it.

Don't.

(Lise laughing)

Mac.

Mac, stop it.

Don't.

- [Mac] Come here.

(Lise laughs)

(board clatters)

Huh?

- No, Mac.

Don't, don't.

It's nothing.

Mac, don't!

Please, just leave him!

- [Leon] Aw, shit!

- [Mac] Got you now, pervert.

(grunting)

You bastard.

- [Leon] Who do you

think you are, mister?

Huh?

Just an old man, eh?

- I told you to fuck off, boy!

- Stop it, stop it, stop it!

Leave him alone!

(grunts)

Stop it!

Leave him!

Stop it!

- You knew.

You knew he was here.

- No, no, no.

- What?

What did you want?

- [Lise] Listen, I didn't know.

- Oh, yes, Lise.

Yes, yes.

No more little secrets.

- No, no, no, no, no!

- [Mac] You don't need

them, they're rubbish.

Get rid of 'em!

- No, no, no!

- Yes, yes!

- You bastard!

- No, don't!

- You bastard!

- Yes!

(gun fires)

- Hey, why did you turn

the music off for, Gray?

- I'm getting worried about him.

What do you think we should do?

- Well, what can we do?

Hey, look.

We'll suss it out in

the morning, okay?

- I'm going to bed.

Goodnight.

- [Gray] Leon!

Leon!

Leon?

Leon!

(tense music)

- Hey?

- Come on, Gray.

Up you get.

- Did he come back?

Jesus, it's funny.

It's funny without

Leon. (laughs)

- [Julie] We're gonna

have to look for him.

- Look where?

I mean, that's nowhere

land out there.

We're never gonna find him.

- Well, let's just

start for home.

He can catch us up.

- Tanya, don't.

Well, I'm gonna

look for him anyway.

You do what you like.

- Come on.

(can clatters)

- [Julie] Leon!

Come on, Leon!

Where are you?

Leon!

- [Tanya] Leon!

- Leon!

- [Julie] Leon!

- [Tanya] Leon!

- [Julie] Please, Leon.

Come on!

- [Gray] Leon!

- [Julie] Leon!

- [Gray] Leon!

Hey, Leon!

- [Julie] Leon!

- [Gray] Leon!

- [Carl] Hang on, this is crazy.

We're getting too far

away from the bridge.

I think we should go back.

- [Gray] Yeah, and get a drink.

- [Julie] We can't give up now.

We could find him any minute.

- [Tanya] Oh, look, Julie.

We've tried, all right?

Enough's enough.

- [Carl] Yeah, look.

He can't have got this

far in the dark, right?

So if we go back,

we're bound to find him

'cause he's gotta be somewhere

between here and there.

- If he is, we'll all stay.

- What do you mean?

- Well, what's the bet he's

back at the bridge right now

drinking the booze?

- The little prick.

- [Gray] Come on.

- [Tanya] Leon, you think

you're so smart, don't ya?

- [Carl] Come on Leon,

we've had enough!

- [Gray] We know

what your game is!

- [Julie] Leon!

Where's it gone?

- Look.

- Leon?

- [Gray] Leon!

Oh, come on, mate!

This isn't funny!

- Leon!

- [Julie] Leon!

- Hurry up, mate!

Come on!

- Leon, where are you?

- Leon!

- [Gray] Cut it out,

we've had enough!

Come on, quit it!

- [Julie] Leon!

- [Tanya] Quit

fucking around, Leon!

- [Carl] Hey, listen.

(uptempo music in distance)

- Come on, let's get him.

Hurry up!

- What's he doing?

Leon!

- Come on, Leon!

Change the tape!

(uptempo music in distance)

There he is.

That way.

Leon, you pull hard.

- Leon!

- [Gray] I'm after you now, boy!

I'll get a sprain, you moron!

Leon!

Could even be that old

man and his girlfriend.

Come on!

You'll get us more lost.

- Gray.

- [Carl] Jesus, Gray.

Slow down.

stereo, mate, hey?

- You better get us out of here!

I don't know who the hell

(sobbing)

(screams)

Gray!

Damn it!

Move!

(gun firing)

(dramatic music)

(Tanya yells)

(gasping)

- Why?

- Hey, sis.

Hey, look.

Hey, you can't help him.

It'll be all right.

(laughing)

Shut up!

(blows raspberries)

(laughing)

What, have you gone crazy?

(blows raspberries)

Something funny, Gray?

No, there's nothing funny, mate.

- It's Leon's joke, mate.

- [Carl] Straighten

out, will ya?

- It's his joke.

- He's dead.

Leon's dead, mate.

He's dead, so shut up.

- Stop it!

Gray.

- Hey.

Hey, let's go find that river.

Come on.

Come on, let's go.

- [Julie] What if

he's following us?

- [Carl] Look, he's

not following us,

so let's get moving.

(dog growls)

(Julie gasps)

(dog barking)

- It's one of his, isn't it?

- Don't know.

- Beat it!

(dog whimpers)

(water splashes)

(dog barking)

Hey, I think we

should stop here.

We're not gonna get

anywhere tonight.

- Good idea.

- Julie, what about the dog?

- Get some sleep.

- [Tanya] What about you?

- I'm gonna sit up for a while.

- Well, wake me up later

and I'll take a turn.

- Yeah, okay.

(birds chirping)

- Why?

Why did he kill him?

He's trying to kill us all.

- No, he's not.

He could've killed us all

yesterday, but he didn't.

- You know, we're never

gonna get out of here.

- Look, all we have to

do is find the river.

Come on.

- Tanya, wait.

- [Tanya] We've

gotta keep going.

- Gray, Gray.

- Hey, don't worry.

We're gonna be all right.

- See?

Come on, Gray.

(tense music)

- [Carl] Hey, wait.

Listen.

(water bubbling)

- The river.

(laughing)

(dog barking)

(gasps)

- They're still

following, Julie.

- Don't worry about

that damn dog.

Come on.

Let's just get to the river.

Come on, hurry up.

(gun firing)

Jesus!

(yelling)

I need you to stop.

He's not shooting at us.

Gray, stop.

- He bloody is!

He's trying to get us!

- [Carl] Shut up!

- Stop it and you shut up!

- If he wanted us killed,

we'd be dead hours ago.

- He doesn't want us

to cross the river.

- [Julie] Where is the river?

- The river is over

that way somewhere.

We'll go find it, shall we?

(dog growling)

You bastard.

- Carl, come on.

- [Carl] Hey, that's farmland.

There'll be people there.

(dog barking)

Jesus Christ.

(dog barking)

- He's here.

(gun fires)

- Hey, let's keep going.

He's not shooting at us.

- Carl, wait.

(gun fires)

- Look, work it

out for yourself.

He's not trying to

drive us someplace,

he's trying to drive us noplace.

So we'll be wandering

around till we die.

Just die.

- [Gray] That could take weeks.

- [Tanya] For God's sake, Gray.

We've got no water,

we've got no food.

We don't even know where we are.

How long do you think we're

gonna survive without our gear?

- [Julie] We must be

able to do something.

- [Carl] Yeah, get rid

of that bloody dog.

- [Julie] Why?

- [Carl] 'Cause he keeps telling

that bastard where we are.

- You mean kill it.

- What would you rather do,

wander around feeling

sorry for yourself

till we die of

exposure or starvation?

'Cause that's your choice.

- I don't want to kill anything.

- Julie, we have to survive.

All right, how?

(tense music)

(dog whining)

- [Tanya] Hurry up!

(yells)

- Get the bastard!

- [Tanya] Kill it!

Kill it!

(dog whimpering)

(tense music)

(dog barks)

(cow moos)

- What if it's his, eh?

- What if we just sit here

and die of starvation, Gray?

(sighs)

(suspenseful music)

(dogs barking)

- [Gray] Shut up.

Hello?

(knocking on door)

Is there anyone home?

Jesus, food.

- [Tanya] Where are you?

- Hi.

- It's because of

you, wasn't it?

- No.

- You, bitch!

(screams)

- [Carl] Tanya, quit that!

- [Tanya] He killed

Leon because of you!

Didn't he?

- [Carl] Jesus.

- Give me that gun!

- He wouldn't have shot him!

- Shut up!

- Please, will you

take me with you?

- You're not coming with us!

You, bitch!

- Come on, we have to go.

Let's get out of here.

(dogs barking)

(sobbing)

(tense music)

- Lise!

Lise!

Lise?

They didn't take any shells.

Be dark soon.

They won't get far then.

What's that?

- What?

- [Mac] That.

- What?

- [Mac] They do this to you?

- [Lise] Hmm?

- That.

- Hey, please.

Don't be so rough.

It was just an accident.

Hey, I've got to shoot

off really quickly.

I completely forgot it's

Mom's birthday today

and I haven't seen her for ages.

You know those kids

that came past?

They came and they're

gonna come collect me.

They're gonna take

me in their car

and we're gonna go to all

these parties and stuff.

- Lise.

- [Lise] Hmm?

- Those kids.

- [Lise] So, I have to go now

and I really have to hurry

and pack all my things.

- Friends?

- [Lise] Yeah,

really good friends.

They're my best friends.

Hey, have you seen

my pink nail varnish?

You know, the one you

got for my birthday.

- Exactly how many of

these friends are there?

- Four.

- Could've sworn

there were five.

- Hmm?

- That little one, remember?

- [Lise] No.

- Yeah, you remember.

He had a headband.

- [Lise] No.

- Japanese symbol right

there on his forehead.

- [Lise] No.

- Right there.

Right there.

Right there, Lise.

- Oh?

- Yeah.

Remember, you liked it?

Yeah, you remember him.

- [Lise] No.

- Surely.

- [Lise] No.

- Oh, there was one

other thing about him.

- [Lise] No, Mac.

- He's got a bloody

great hole in his chest!

A hole you put there.

Don't you understand

what you did?

You've killed a boy!

I've just put him in the

bottom of a bloody river!

I've been chasing

these kids around!

Why do you believe

in all this bullshit?

This bullshit!

- [Lise] Mac, I don't want

to talk about that now, okay?

- This bullshit.

- [Lise] They'll

be waiting for me.

- Absolute bullshit.

It's junk, it's not you, Lise.

This is bullshit.

- [Lise] Mac, don't.

- [Mac] Oh, shit.

- [Lise] I've got

so many things.

I just don't know where

I'm gonna put everything.

I mean, I don't think my

suitcase is large enough, Mac.

I just.

- That is bullshit.

Your little secrets are lies.

- That is mine!

And don't you dare

touch it again!

And don't you dare touch me

again either 'cause you stink.

The whole place stinks!

- Yes, that's real.

- And I hate the place and I

hate you're bald and filthy.

- Okay, that's real.

- [Lise] I hate it!

- That's lies.

- I hate it, I hate it, I

hate it, and I hate you!

- Throw it away.

Throw it away!

Get rid of that bullshit!

(crying)

- And I hate myself.

I hate me!

(yells)

- Lise.

- No!

No, no, no, no, no, no!

No, no, no, no, no!

- [Mac] Lise.

No, no.

Lise.

Oh, my god.

Easy now.

Easy.

Easy, girl.

Easy.

- We didn't take any food.

But we didn't take any food.

- Shut up.

- [Julie] He must've

seen we've got the gun.

Maybe he'll stop now.

- [Carl] No, he can't stop now.

(Gray crying)

- [Julie] Gray.

It's all right.

We're okay.

- [Mac] You probably do,

but just let me do it my

way and we'll be all right.

We'll see it through.

No more secrets.

No more lies, Lise.

Tomorrow, it'll all be over.

It'll just be another accident.

Bunch of kids lost in the bush.

Died of exposure.

(tense music)

- Hey.

Up you get.

Hey, Gray.

Hey, what's the story, Gray?

the gun off him!

Take it easy.

- [Tanya] Get the gun!

- [Carl] Hey, Gary.

Slow up.

- [Tanya] Gray, stop!

(grunts)

- Whoa.

- You, stop.

You killed my mate Leon, eh?

Didn't you?

You tried to kill me.

- [Julie] Don't threaten him.

- Put the gun down.

Leave the old man alone.

Gray, come on.

We don't want any

more deaths, Gray.

- Gray, put it down.

- Please, Gray.

Gray.

- You fool.

You're gonna get us killed.

- Please, go away.

Please, leave us.

Get off your horse.

Gray, come on.

Get up.

Come on.

better keep moving.

(Gray groaning)

- I just killed her.

I just killed her.

- Yeah, so you

killed someone, Gray.

Don't like it much, huh?

So, why don't you

give me the gun?

So that way you won't

do it again accidentally

or something like that.

See, it's happened now, eh?

You've gotta accept

you've done it.

Can't undo it.

Just got to learn

to live with it, eh?

Jesus Christ, he's dead.

He's still reloading.

'Cause of one arm,

he's really slow.

We've got to do something.

- [Tanya] We'll never make it.

- Ah, yeah?

- Is it time?

- I don't know.

(gun fires)

There's no time.

I can't do that, no way.

Are you crazy?

I'll never make it, man.

There's no way.

- Yes, you can.

We'll make him shoot again.

- What?

- You can do it.

- No, I can't.

- You can.

Listen to me.

As soon as he fires.

- What?

- As soon as he fires,

you go for gold.

Don't do it, okay?
