OLLY
I was wondering when you would get up. Did you sleep okay?
JAX
Yeah, you look at the stuff?
OLLY
I scanned it, briefly.
JAX
So, you believe me?
OLLY
Not fully, but I have a friend, Sam. If you are right about this then he will know and confirm it.
JAX
No.
OLLY
He is not answering his phone, but I left him a message.
JAX
We do not need anyone else in this.
OLLY
His house is less than a mile in the same direction we are going in.
JAX
No. If you do not believe me, there's another journalist out there who will.
OLLY
You cannot leave.
JAX
And why not?
OLLY
We had a deal.
JAX
You take me where I want to go and I tell you everything, but the proof is where we're going.
OLLY
Where are we going? You still have not told me. All I have got is the address of an abandoned warehouse.
JAX
Isn't the abandon warehouse never abandoned warehouse in the movies.
OLLY
Enough of your riddles.
JAX
It is not a riddle. I am practically spelling it out the best I can without implicating you, in case they find us before we get there.
OLLY
Well, there is the problem. I am the adult, stop protecting me.
JAX
I am the expert, stop contradicting me.
OLLY
I am going to see this guy. You can come, or you can find your own way there.
JAX
...
OLLY
...
JAX
Fine.
OLLY
We lock and load in ten.
