    Maria: Don't even think about reaching for your weapon. [Ellie draws her pistol.] Tell the girl to drop hers. Now!

    Joel: [Backing up] Ellie, do as the lady says.

    Ellie: [Raises her hands] Okay…

    Maria: Please tell me you're lost.

    Joel: We didn't know the place was occupied. We're just trying to make our way through.

    Maria: Through to where?

    Tommy: They're all right. He says from behind the gate.

    Maria: [To Tommy] What, you know these people?

    Tommy: I know him *Then Tommy opens the gate while holding a rifle.] He's my goddamn brother.

    Joel: Tommy.

    Tommy: Holy shit. [Embraces Joel]

    Joel: [Chuckles in disbelief] How you doin', baby brother?

    Tommy: Goddamn.

    Joel: Yeah.

    Tommy: Let me look at you. [Pulls away and looks at Joel.] You got fucking old.

    Joel: [Knocks Tommy's arm away] Easy—it's gonna happen to you too.

    Tommy: [Maria walks beside him, still holding her rifle.] This is Maria. Be nice to her, she sorta runs things around here.

    Joel: [To Maria] Ma'am. Thanks for not blowing my head off.

    Maria: Would've been embarrassing, considering you're my brother-in-law.

    Joel looks at Tommy with a slight shocked face.

    Tommy: We all gotta get wrangled up at some point.

    Joel: Sure do. He says as he gives you a soft glance, and you answer him with a soft smile.
