Script 대본 Roteiro Guion Сценарій


Marlene: Joel?

Joel: Marlene?

Marlene: You okay?

Ellie: Yeah.

Marlene: Ellie. Ellie.

Ellie: Oh shit!

Marlene: No, it's okay. I'll be all right. And you can't be stupid like this.

Tess: So this is who Robert screwed us over with? The Che Guevara of Boston? I mean, war must be going pretty shitty for you to be buying from scumbags like him.

Marlene: Yeah, it kind of has been. The merch was bad, and he obviously didn't take "fuck off" for an answer.

Ellie: Give me my knife.

Joel: What do you need a car battery for? Don't!

Marlene: Not at her. Point it at me. And to answer your question, I need it for a better reason than you do. No offense, but Tommy's just one man. It's our business to know things.

Joel: "To know things." You're the cause of it. You turned my own brother against me.

Marlene: Okay, Joel. That was a lot of gunfire. FEDRA's going to be on the way.

Tess: I know.

Marlene: We were going to move Ellie out of the Zone tonight. But we won't make it anywhere like this. Not for a while anyway. So now I'm thinking you're going to do it.

Joel: The hell we are.

Ellie: I'm not going with them!

Kim: Let me take her.

Joel: Tess, we don't have time for this.

Marlene: Oh, you don't have time?

Tess: Who is she?

Marlene: To you? She's cargo.

Joel: We don't smuggle people. Sorry.

Kim: I can do it.

Marlene: Kim, you don't have a fucking ear on your fucking head. Could you please? There's a team of Fireflies waiting for her at the old State House.

Marlene: I know what's out there. We were going with an entire squadron for that very reason. But now I don't have a truck, I don't have a squadron, FEDRA's five minutes away. What I do have is you. And I know what you're both capable of. For better or worse.

Ellie: What are they capable of?

Marlene: You get her there safely, and they'll give you what you need. Not just a battery. The whole thing. Fueled-up truck, guns, supplies, all of it. I swear. I swear.

Ellie: Asshole!

Tess: You trust her? No, me neither, but she seems desperate.

Joel: Firefly vehicle usually means repurposed FEDRA stuff. So better-than-decent chance making it to Tommy in one of those. The second we hand that kid over...

Marlene: Y'all talk it through, but please remember that I'm bleeding out.

Tess: Okay. Here's the deal. We'll get her to your crew at the State House. But before we hand her over, they give us everything that we want. If not, we kill her, there and then.

Marlene: Deal.

Ellie: Really? That fast?

Marlene: You are all that matters. My team will not jeopardize that. Remember what I told you? Now go get your backpack. Now, Ellie.

Tess: Let's go.

Marlene: Joel, don't fuck this up.
