Battlefield 2025

Carlie, I'll do just one more before the one after that.

Carlie.

Yeah, ignore me.

That's just great.

I'm Kevin.

Sophy.

Sophy.

That's a pretty name.

I do all right with it.

Can I buy a drink?

Thanks, but I'm meeting someone.

Someone.

Boyfriend, husband?

I'm not seeing a ring, but lack of ornamentation

doesn't necessarily mean shit these days, so?

Not really sure.

Normally I can tell when I'm wasting my breath on someone.

But you're heard to read.

Wow.

Does this work for you?

You know what, you'd be surprised.

Mm, that's an understatement.

Harsh, but accurate.

So how 'bout that drink?

I told you.

You told me, yeah.

He, maybe she, she's not here yet.

Besides, it's a drink, not a marriage contract.

Another one, Kevin?

Oh at least.

And if the lady would oblige.

Okay, fine.

What'll you have?

Can I do a diet and coconut rum?

Took you for a vodka cranberry kinda girl.

Aw.

There go your instincts.

Leading you down the wrong path again.

You know they say that the best rum in the world

comes from Jamaica but I can tell you

from personal experience nobody beats the Cubans.

And here I was thinking that was only cigars.

What?

No.

It's rum too.

And I should know, I spent all last year there.

For work.

I'm a scientist.

- Hmm. - Oh yeah.

I study the sky, I study the stars.

Wow, okay.

Didn't ask, but that sounds fun.

It is fun.

- Thank you. - Thank you, Carlie.

So yeah, where were we?

Just leaving.

No!

What?

No okay.

Yeah, don't mention it.

So I guess this is goodbye.

Looks that way.

Well I'd be lying if I said I was gonna miss you.

Ah come on now, Officer Martin.

We had some good times.

Yeah.

Like that time he almost ripped your ear off.

Simple misunderstanding is all it was.

Little love bite.

And then there's you, Mitchell.

What about me?

I can see why they're sending Tullis up to the five yard,

but you always struck me as more of a mild type.

What'd you do to earn this transfer?

I requested it.

You requested a five yard?

Yeah.

I never took you as a rocket scientist.

But damn, you can't be that dense.

Wait, what's wrong with five yard?

Oh don't worry, you'll find out soon enough.

Don't listen to 'em, Ronnie,

as long as I got your back you got nothing to worry about.

That's rich.

Doubt all you want, but having me

as a friend's a better deal than most folks realize.

And that's for getting on my bad side.

Yeah and we know how that turns out.

This, this could be the end of the line for you now.

You're gonna spend the rest of your wasted existence

in the deepest, darkest hole the DOC has to offer.

Funny thing, that.

- What? - Life.

It's when you're sure things are going a certain way

that fate starts pitching curve balls.

Oh boy, oh boy.

Shit boy, you look like

you're about to have seizure back there.

What?

No, just nervous.

Hold it quiet, Ronnie.

Huh?

Keep it together.

Wow.

Hey.

Ethan.

What?

We have to get up.

Oh no.

I don't want to.

I know.

But Allie's probably already waiting for us.

Just five more minutes.

Hmm.

Oh yeah.

I know what you're trying to do.

You know nothing.

Okay.

I'm going to make us some breakfast

and you have five minutes.

Is that a kiss?

It was.

That was sweet.

Hmm, I know.

I love you.

I know.

I love you too.

Five minutes!

Oh, smells good.

Hmm, yeah.

There's some fresh coffee too.

Yes, thank you.

Oh.

So did I overhear that right?

Allie's got a friend coming with her?

Yeah.

A boy she goes to school with.

Boy?

What boy?

Oh it, I can't remember his name.

Crazy.

Little Allie's got a boyfriend.

She swears it's not like that.

Right.

What?

You think that she wouldn't tell me?

No, no, I just think that regardless of what she says

I bet the farm he thinks he's got a shot with her.

I mean it's possible.

More than possible.

Yeah.

Because you were able

to climb out of the friend zone with me.

Wait, I didn't know I was in the friend zone?

Um hmm.

Um hmm.

Yeah.

Really?

Big time.

Huh.

Are you sure we're even on the right road?

I told my sister I'd have the car back an hour ago and...

Yes dude, just keep going straight.

This road isn't even straight.

I'm telling you man, it's gonna be the weekend.

Why? What's happening?

Allie.

Finally getting in there.

Oh bullshit!

She's practically been begging for it.

Why else do you think

she invited me on this camping trip with her?

You're dreaming.

Hmm.

Yeah, we'll see.

Sure will.

What, you don't believe me?

Let's bet on it.

You already owe me like 30 bucks.

Oh, well double or nothing

says I close the deal by Sunday.

Keep your money.

Well pay me back what you owe me.

But keep the rest.

Turn here.

That's the place?

This is Allie's house?

Pretty nice, right?

Oh shit.

Anyway I would invite you up

but I think Allie wants to spend some alone time with me

before her sister picks us up.

All right bro.

Wish me luck.

Good luck.

Allie?

Dylan.

Hello?

Whoa.

Hey.
