BILLY
It’s where the sun is in the sky.
That’s how you tell.
LAZZO
Yeah, where the sun is! That’s what
I meant. You find anything today,
BILLY?
BILLY
Actually, yeah.
(reaches into his pocket and
pulls something out)
Picked it off an SS officer buried
under the rubble.
KILGORE
That a flip top lighter, BILLY? It
still works? Have ya tried it yet?!
LAZZO
Jesus, KILGORE, why the hell would
he take a lighter that don’t work? I
swear, your mama dropped you on your
head, boy.
BILLY
(laughing softly)
You don’t have to talk to him like
that.
LAZZO
What do you need with a lighter
anyway, BILLY? I’m the one with the
cigarettes.
KILGORE
Cigarette.
LAZZO
What was that?
KILGORE
(shyly)
Well, when you traded with that
officer, you only got the one
cigarette...you said cigarettes with
an “s” but you only got the one.
BILLY laughs softly.
LAZZO
Oh what the hell do you know anyway!
