[Mike and Jimmy decide to camp out in the desert as they try to evade the cartel gunman who escaped during the shootout]
I should have been home hours ago. This’ll be tearing her up.
Oh, she’s just gonna think you’re out catting around.
No, she won’t. She’s gonna think I’m chopped to pieces, dead in some ditch.
And why is she gonna think that? You saying she knows what you’re doing?
Not, you know… the details. Just… She knows I’m picking up money down by the border. That’s all.
You told your girlfriend what you’re doing.
My wife.
Wife?
Yeah, wife.
[sarcastically] Congratulations. And what’s your wife gonna do with this information, do you think? Call the cops?
No.
No? People get scared, they call the cops. Pretty standard.
No, she’s not calling any cops.
Then what? Girls at the book club, gonna call her boss, tell him about her missing husband?
She’s not doing any of that, okay? She knows better. She’s just gonna be… scared out of her mind is all.
Huh. Really? Let’s hope you’re right. [scoffs] She knows. She’s in the game now.
What?! No, she’s not in the game! Alright? She’s not even game adjacent. I just told her the truth—a little slice of the truth. That’s all.
Hmm.
She’s not in the game!
[sighs; long pause] Well, can’t make a fire. Our guy may still be out there. [takes out a space blanket from his bag] I got two of these. You want one?
No, thanks.
Gets cold fast.
I’m fine! Thanks!
Suit yourself.
