The Book of Eli

Nice.

Nice, nice, nice, nice.

You hungry?

You know, you got to come get it. Don't play hard to get.

You will like it.

It's cat.

There you go.

I don't know what...

Leave room for breakfast.

Hello?

Hello?

Please. Don't hurt me.

Here, take anything you want.

You want some food? Take it.

-I am not going to hurt you. -Yeah?

That's what the last guy said.

Could... Could you help me? The wheel came off.

I can't fix it.

Maybe if I... If I could, but I can't.

You know, the only good thing about no soap

is that you can smell hijackers a mile off.

I am impressed!

This man smelled us from 30 feet away!

Damn!

What's that say about our hygiene?

What you got there in that pack?

What pack?

He got a gun.

Shit, it ain't loaded.

They never are.

Ain't that right, old man?

Open the pack and tip it out on the road, nice and slow.

Can't do that.

Take off the fucking pack and put it on the ground.

Or die!

Are you listening to me?

I am now.

-Good. -You listening to me?

-Yeah. -Good.

Put that hand on me again, you won't get it back.

Do you believe this fucking guy?

All right, you want to do it the hard way.

How'd you do that?

He just cut my hand off!

What are you standing around for? Kiss him!

What did he say?

He's in shock.

I think he meant "Kill him."

I can't feel my hand. My hand.

I told you you weren't going to get that back.

Yeah, you did.

Who are you?

Where's your water?

They don't have none. They were going to take yours.

And then eat you. It's true.

It's in the cart.

You're not taking it?

-Where are you going? -West.

-Can I come with you? -No.

But...

We will find shelter for tonight.

My legs still hurt.

God.

No! No!

-Nice shot! -Mike! No!

-No! -We got her.

Honey? Come here!

No, no.

-Please, don't. Please, God, no! -Stay on the path.

-Stop! -Hey, guys.

Stay on the path. It's not your concern.

No!

Come on!

Stay on the path. It's not your concern. Stay on the path. It's not your concern.

-I don't know you. -I know, I am not from around here.

No shit you're not from around here.

-All right, I don't want any trouble. -Yeah.

Okay.

I am just a customer. Okay?

Okay.

I am sorry, I got to see the hands.

I am not one of them.

Okay.

I am going to take something out of my pack.

-Take your finger off the trigger. -Yeah.

Sweet! That's a Fathom 900, man.

Is it?

I haven't seen one of those since the '90s.

Yeah, I got it back east.

-Still work? -Yeah. Yeah. Just need it charged.

Can you do that for me? Give me a... I got cables.

I don't need the cables. I can put a trickle charger on it, though, for you.

Good.

I mean, if you got the coin.

Yes, sir.

Yes, I do. I got something...

-Okay. -It's American-made.

Yeah. I got a whole bunch of these.

-Do you? -Yeah.

How about ChapStick? You got any ChapStick?

No ChapStick, no. I got cat oil. Fresh cat oil.

-No, no. -It's good, it's good for the...

-No, no. -Works the same way.

What about toys? You got any toys?

No, I don't play... I got...

-Yeah. Yeah, yeah. -We do chicken right.

-Eh, finger licking good. -Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay.

All right, all right, all right.

All right, now this, with these.

Absolutely, those are yours.

Okay. Give me a couple of hours.

-Charge it up for you. -Thank you.

You can wait over there across the street, at the Orpheum.

No, I will wait here.

-Bar is about ready to open. -I will wait here.

You don't trust me, do you?

-I will wait here. -All right.

Carnegie.

One of the road crews just pulled into town. They have got something for you.

Books?

Whole bag of them.

Tell them I want to see them right now.

-Stay. -No problem.

Come on, let's go.

We did good.

The one you want, it ain't there?

No.

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 will find it.

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.

And we will get you your book.

Of that I have no doubt.

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?

What about these?

Burn them.

This place across the street, they got any water?

Yeah, if you can pay for it.

Here.

Smell this.

One of the road crews found it.

Who knows?

It may be the last shampoo on the planet.

And it's yours.

Did they find your book?

No.

Outlander?

Let me see.

-All right, what will it be? -Water.

That's the good stuff.

I have got to eat into my own ration to sell it, so it don't come cheap.

Right.

Get you maybe halfway.

Solara!

Take this and get it filled.

Wait. You need this.

Can you please move?

Thank you.

That was my cat.

Fine specimen.

I saw you knock him off the bar.

No. I kind of shooed him, I didn't really knock him.

You raised your hand at him.

Won't happen again, I promise you.

Hey, Martz, how about another drink?

That cat's been coming in here for 2 years.

It's got more right to be here than you.

I don't want any trouble.

Well, that's too bad, because you got...

I know who you are.

Murderer of innocent travelers on the road.

You are going to be held to account for the things you have done, do you know that?

Do you?

It's okay.

I am going to grab my things and I am going to walk out of here.

-All right. -All right, brother?

Yeah.

"Cursed be the ground for our sake.

"Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth...

for us.

"For out of the ground, we were taken. For the dust, we are.

"And to the dust, we shall return."

Stop!

Please.

Redridge!

Redridge.

And who are you?

Nobody.

I doubt that.

The men you killed in my bar, now, they were nobody.
