[Mike and Jimmy sit next to each other in the quiet, halfway finished with walking through the desert.]
You know... We're sitting on seven million bucks here. Literally.
MikeYeah.
I say we take it. Split, 50-50. Take off.
MikeIt's not ours.
Could be...
MikeYeah, well, I know some people who would have a problem with that.
Them? Don't worry about them.
[Mike sees Jimmy vacantly staring off into space]
MikeYou feeling right?
...First thing we do? Take six million bucks and build a time machine. Those people that you're worried about? They'll never find us. Where would you go first, huh? You—You look... like a history buff, right? What, would you go to Civil War times, or Ancient Rome?
MikeOh, Christ. Hm. Um... December 8, 2001.
Why?
MikeNo. No... March 17, 1984. The day I took my first bribe. And then I'd go forward. There's some people I'd like to check on in five or ten years, make sure they're doing okay. You?
[scoffs] It's easy. May 10, 1965. That's the day Warren Buffet took over at Berkshire Hathaway. I figure, I got a million left, I'm building a time machine, so I take my half and just stick it into Berkshire. And then I come back here, and... I'm a billionaire. Uh... Is there such a thing as a trillionaire?
MikeThat's it? Money?
What else?
MikeNothing you'd change?
[beat] I'm rested. [gets up with the money bags]
