The Last of Us

It'll be fine.

He's gonna beat the shit outta me.

I said, it'll be fine.

I'm gonna get the belt.

No, you're not.

I will.

Just go to your room, and stay there.

I'm back on patrol in 30 minutes.

So, talk fast. What happened?

You know what happened.

Yeah, well, I wanna hear it from you.

I was buying pot from this other kid.

He tried to rip me off, and we got into a fight.

That's what you're going with?

- Okay. - I'm telling the truth.

No. No, you're not.

I think Tommy was buying the drugs, not you.

I think you happened to walk by, saw what was going on,

- and started punching. - Tommy didn't do anyth--

I talked to the kid you beat up, Joel,

and the officers who got called to the scene.

I'm not stupid.

And if you and Tommy weren't my sons, you'd both be in juvie right now.

You're not gonna hurt him.

Did I ever tell you about that time I stole a candy bar?

I was

ten.

Grandpa found out, made me give it back, made me apologize to the cashier.

And then, we went home.

Just before I got out of the car, man, he just...

He broke my jaw. There was blood everywhere.

Grandma thought I was dead.

My mouth was wired shut for two months.

Everybody knew why. It was humiliating.

If you know what it feels like, then why?

That's not why I'm telling you this.

Okay, yeah, I've hit you.

And I've hit Tommy.

But never like that.

Not even close.

I mean, maybe I go too far, I...

I don't know, I just...

I don't know.

But I'm doing a little better than my father did.

And you know, when it's your turn,

I hope you do a little better than me.

The new guy.

Been here two months, Seth.

Like I said. Got somethin' for me?

I'll be fucked.

My grandkids are gonna love these.

How'd you find 'em?

Searched the old homes out by Hoback.

I searched those homes.

Well, I know where to look 'cause I'm a smuggler, and you're a...

I wasn't always this.

I was a cop.

Milwaukee PD.

So, a trade's a trade.

We can make what you want and have it to you by

Friday.

No, I need it by tomorrow.

Vanilla or chocolate? Say vanilla, it's easier.

Vanilla.

Oh, I need one more thing.

Relax. You got a lot of 'em.

Joel!

- What happened? - Where'd you come from?

Painkillers, she's alright. Come on.

- Painkillers? - No, no, no.

No, no, no, leave it. Leave it, don't touch it.

Tommy, what happened?

She was working KP and she burned her arm.

Well, how?

I pushed it right up against a pot.

You did this on purpose?

I was like, "Here we go," and then I fucking went.

- What? Why? - No one saw. I was on my own.

And I took it off and it was all red and melting and gross.

You know what it smelled like? Pork.

- Who let this happen? - What do you mean, "let"?

Who saw this comin'? I was eating my damn dinner.

- Oh, it hurts. - Okay.

Easy, baby girl.

- Easy, easy. - Dr. V ran over to the clinic.

He's gonna come by here with another shot.

Ellie.

I just really wanted to wear short sleeves again.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

It's okay.

It's okay. You're okay.

- Goddammit, Seth. - Hey.

Hey.

"Happy 15th Birthday, Eli."

Well, let's hope Seth bakes better than he spells.

He does.

It's really good.

Oh, right.

Stay right there.

I got somethin' else for you. Close your eyes.

Keep 'em closed.

Okay, turn toward me.

And, open.

- What's this? - Some folks call this a "gee-tar."

I borrowed one of your drawings for inspiration.

Took a bit of restorin'. Real bone saddle here.

Lacquered the whole body and used a Dremel to carve the...

Well, that's a rotary drill. Or could be a saw, dependin' on the tip.

But, actually, it's a pretty versatile tool.

Anyway.

I had promised I would teach you, so.

Well, if you want a lesson later.

Let me hear something.

- What do you mean, play it? - And sing.

No. No, no, no, no. No, I don't sing.

It's my fucking birthday, man. Let's see what you got.

Shit.

If I ever were to lose you

I'd surely lose myself

Everything that I have found dear

I've not found by myself

Try and sometimes you'll succeed

To make this man of me

All my stolen, missing parts

I've no need for anymore

I believe

And I believe 'cause I can see

Our future days

Days of you and me

Well,

that didn't suck.

I understand.

Your arm.

I understand.

Happy birthday, kiddo.

- Is it a bow and arrow? - Nope.

Is it water guns?

- No. - Is it a dinosaur!

- You're not gonna guess. - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Is it a "lotter" of kittens?

A "lotter"?

You mean a litter?

A litter of kittens? Really?

- Really. And no. - Fuck.

Is it a convertible?

The hell are you gonna do with a convertible?

- Drive it. - We cross here.

How do you even know where we are?

I found it on patrol.

You know, Jesse was 16 when he started going on patrols.

- Is that right? - Don't get me wrong.

I love counting vegetables and shoveling sheep shit.

I'm just saying, I think I could be more useful

outside the wall.

You'll get on patrols eventually.

You should enjoy being a kid for now.

Oh, because childhood has been such a joy for me so far.

You've been 16 all of four hours.

We're not sending you out until you're trained.

You're gonna need somethin' called patience.

Jesse said he'd train me if you let him.

Is there somethin' going on between you two?

Excuse me?

You spend a lot of time together.

Is it funny?

I see the way you look at him. I got a keen eye for these sort of things.

- I don't think you do. - Alright, none of my business.

But has anyone talked to you about the birds and the bees?

You mean dicks and vaginas?

- Jesus. - I tell you what.

I promise you, I won't get pregnant if you let me train for patrols. Deal?

I'll see what I can do.

Okay, how much longer, man?

We're here.

Oh, my God.

It is a dinosaur!

- Joel! - Like it?

Yeah. Likes it.

Ellie.

Ellie!

Oh, my God. Careful.

I'm on a motherfucking dinosaur!

- Joel, there's a museum! - Yeah, I know!

If you don't fall off the goddamn T-Rex,

I'll take you there.

This is so cool.

How long have you known about this place?

A while.

Well, then what the fuck?

I was saving it for a special day.

You see? Patience.

Oh, yeah, I've heard of that.

It works?

Somebody must have greased it.

Can you imagine being up there?

- Would you like to? - Like to what?

Go to space?

Is it real?

It's real.

That one went up and back.
