Redridge Carnegie. One of the road crews just pulled into town. They've got something for you.
Redridge Whole bag of them.
Tell them I wanna see them right now.
G Guard
Stay. No problem. Come on, let's go.
M Martz
[Dumps books on Carnegie's desk]
We did good. The one you want, it ain't there?
M Martz
I just don't understand. That's a shitload of books.
You don't have to understand. I understand. Leave that to me and we can be friends. I have faith in you. You'll find it.
M Martz
Wait. I got this, too.
Now, this is a treat. That's shampoo. Yeah? Go get slammed. Get some pussy. Everything on me, as much as you and your boys can stand. Then go back on the road.
M Martz
And we'll get you your book.
Redridge You're sending guys out who can't even read to look for one book. Well, no wonder they never find anything.
Yeah, I use the tools I have at hand. Unless you'd like to go with them?
Redridge [Turns around an open book]
What about these?
[Examines book]
Burn them.
The men you killed in my bar, now, they were nobody. But you, now.
Redridge He ain't got the shakes. He ain't one of them.
Good. This is a civilized town. We don't eat humans. We don't see too many people from before. Not anymore. Do you read?
All right. Well, good for you. Me, too. You know, it's funny. As old as we are, people like you and me, we're the future.
What do you want with me?
[Jabs finger and walks over to desk]
Straight to the point! I like that! You're not just educated. I never saw anyone handle themselves the way you did. I don't know where you learned it, but I sure as hell could use it. This little town, just the beginning. I'm about to expand. I need expert help. I could use someone like you.
Thank you, but I'm really not interested.
Well, the people who work for me live better than any walker ever dreamed. Ask Redridge here. Ask the boys, anyone. Real beds, hot food, women. [Slides jug across desk] Clean water. You could do a lot worse, my friend.
Thank you, but I got somewhere I need to be.
I've been told different.
By who? [Sits in chair] Tell you what. Stay the night. Try a little local hospitality, see how you like it. We'll talk again in the morning.
Redridge Word of advice, Walker. It's not a choice.
