A bounty hunter and his captive accountant engage in a psychological battle of wits on a train. While Jack focuses on his financial goal of opening a coffee shop, John uses his neurotic charm to dismantle Jack's life choices and health habits, leading to a reveal about Jack's past as a Chicago cop.
JOHN: Jack? Jack? I think this is illegal. Jack I don’t think you can keep a person in a bathroom like this. It’s very claustrophobic in here…
JACK: Yeah, it is? Well I’ll tell you what, when we get to Los Angeles, you can tell the prison psychiatrist all about it.
JOHN: There’s no air. There’s no ventilation in here, I told you I was claustrophobic, come on. What do you think I’m going to do? Jump off a train moving 90 miles an hour? Jack? Jack! Thanks.
JACK: Hey, put em on. Come here. Sit down.
JOHN: Nice. Thanks Jack, much better.
JACK: Good.
JOHN: What are you doing?
JACK: What am I doing? Arithmetic.
