[Luka leans up against his car at the motel, Sam is getting ice from the ice machine.]
[sighs] What are you doing, Sam?
This is what I do, you know that. I don’t stay in one place that long.
How long are you going to keep doing that?
As long as I have to.
Luka You can’t keep running away.
Sure I can.
This isn’t just about Steve.
Sorry, sometimes there’s a little collateral damage. I have to do this for Alex.
From what I can tell, it’s not working for him.
Yeah well, he’s 10, he doesn’t know what’s working for him.
Is this the life you want for him? For yourself?
[opens her mouth as if to say something, but is speechless] I don’t know what else to do.
Go to your car and follow me back to Chicago. You don’t have to do this alone, I’m here, you can trust me.
[A tear runs down Sam’s cheek. Luka pushes her hair back and caresses her face with his hand.]
That’s not something I’m good at.
Why not give it a try? It can’t be any worse than this, can it?
[They both smile and softly laugh]
