- Yeah, well, you should get to it. I'm just saying.

- I am.

492

00:
25:55,137 -- 00:25:56,730

You could use some of that.

493

00:
25:56,805 -- 00:25:59,399

You could use some Shut

the hell up. How about that?

494

00:
25:59,516 -- 00:26:02,520

- You just lack initiative. It's not that big...

- Oh, yeah? You lack a dick.

495

00:
26:03,812 -- 00:26:05,735

Boys, please tell us what's going on here.

496

00:
26:05,814 -- 00:26:10,035

Uh, well, it would seem that

a Virgin Mary has appeared...

497

00:
26:10,110 -- 00:26:12,738

in the syrup of a local man's pancake.

498

00:
26:12,821 -- 00:26:14,789

No, it has not.

499

00:
26:14,865 -- 00:26:17,334

Uh, well, it will in a

second, okay? Just hold on.

500

00:
26:18,702 -- 00:26:21,751

Oh, that is definitely some

supernatural sh*t going on here.

501

00:
26:24,666 -- 00:26:27,260

Um, excuse me. Can you come here real quick?

502

00:
26:27,336 -- 00:26:29,839

Um, can you just look at that?

503

00:
26:30,339 -- 00:26:32,512

Ay, Dios mio!

504

00:
26:34,176 -- 00:26:36,975

Grounder. Too much pressure.

505

00:
26:37,054 -- 00:26:38,556

Andrew.

506

00:
26:40,265 -- 00:26:43,018

Oh, dude. Come on. Leave her alone.

507

00:
26:44,812 -- 00:26:46,610

Oh, seriously?

508

00:
26:47,488 -- 00:26:48,361

Dude!

509

00:
26:48,440 -- 00:26:50,033

Oh, come on. That is so messed up.

510

00:
26:50,150 -- 00:26:51,652

- She's gonna get fired.

- I didn't know...

511

00:
26:51,860 -- 00:26:54,158

- That is disgusting.

- But do you guys share cups on the team?

512

00:
26:54,279 -- 00:26:56,407

No, we don't share cups, man.

513

00:
26:56,490 -- 00:26:58,242

You see that car though?

514

00:
26:58,325 -- 00:26:59,998

- The red one.

- Yeah.

515

00:
27:00,702 -- 00:27:03,000

All right. The gum was cool.

516

00:
27:03,080 -- 00:27:06,710

All right. You tried. It

was a failed attempt though.

517

00:
27:07,793 -- 00:27:08,542

Watch this.

518

00:
27:08,543 -- 00:27:09,545

What are you doing? Watch.

519

00:
27:10,921 -- 00:27:12,389

Go, go, go.

520

00:
27:16,051 -- 00:27:17,769

What?

521

00:
27:17,845 -- 00:27:19,768

No way!

522

00:
27:22,391 -- 00:27:24,064

Holy sh*t!

523

00:
27:24,143 -- 00:27:26,066

Dude! Holy crap!

524

00:
27:30,023 -- 00:27:31,525

What? What?

525

00:
27:31,650 -- 00:27:33,368

- That's what I'm talking about!

- Did anybody see?

526

00:
27:33,443 -- 00:27:35,286

Steve Montgomery for president!

527

00:
27:35,404 -- 00:27:38,658

- I'm having, like, a face period.

- Oh, man.

528

00:
27:38,740 -- 00:27:40,037

Pause.

529

00:
27:40,859 -- 00:27:42,833

You guys. You guys, here she comes.

530

00:
27:42,911 -- 00:27:45,289

- Here she comes!

- Oh...

531

00:
27:46,114 -- 00:27:48,133

Don't look. Don't look, don't look.

532

00:
27:48,208 -- 00:27:49,755

Steve, don't look.

533

00:
27:49,835 -- 00:27:53,055

She can't find... She thinks it's stolen.

534

00:
27:53,172 -- 00:27:56,676

- She has no idea.

- Yes, it was the black guy this time.

535

00:
27:58,760 -- 00:28:02,060

I could have sworn I parked

it right here. Where is my car?"

536

00:
28:02,139 -- 00:28:03,641

Ignore us.

537

00:
28:03,724 -- 00:28:05,943

We're just... Mormons.

538

00:
28:06,059 -- 00:28:08,903

What does that mean?

539

00:
28:09,021 -- 00:28:12,116

What does that mean?

540

00:
28:12,191 -- 00:28:14,444

Uh-oh! Uh-oh!

541

00:
28:14,526 -- 00:28:16,904

Garetty's... Garetty's having a giggle fit.

542

00:
28:18,512 -- 00:28:20,958

That was so... It was amazing.

543

00:
28:21,033 -- 00:28:23,286

I know. Just take it

easy with the merchandise.

544

00:
28:23,368 -- 00:28:26,042

How did nobody see that?

It was out in the open.

545

00:
28:26,163 -- 00:28:29,167

Her face! I cannot get

her face out of my mind!

546

00:
28:29,249 -- 00:28:30,671

That was awesome.

547

00:
28:30,751 -- 00:28:32,048

Who is this?

548

00:
28:32,127 -- 00:28:33,674

So many ideas of stuff that we can do!

549

00:
28:33,795 -- 00:28:36,093

- Go around.

- That's just some redneck a**hole.

550

00:
28:36,215 -- 00:28:37,817

- Steve, Steve, Steve, Steve.

- Go around.

551

00:
28:37,818 -- 00:28:39,219

Take the camera. Take the camera.

552

00:
28:39,301 -- 00:28:41,679

All right. Just make sure

it's zoomed out all the way.

553

00:
28:41,803 -- 00:28:43,931

- Got ya. I can see you.

- Okay, buddy.

554

00:
28:44,314 -- 00:28:45,857

What you gonna do?

555

00:
28:45,933 -- 00:28:48,152

What the hell is this guy's problem?

556

00:
28:48,227 -- 00:28:49,979

What are you doing?

557

00:
28:50,062 -- 00:28:51,905

Abracadabra!

558

00:
28:51,980 -- 00:28:54,074

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Andrew, sh*t!

559

00:
28:54,149 -- 00:28:56,823

What the hell did you just do?

Matt, stop the car! Stop! Stop!

560

00:
28:56,944 -- 00:28:59,618

- Are you crazy?

- Pull down the road. We gotta go down there right now.

561

00:
28:59,696 -- 00:29:01,073

Guys, I'm sorry!

562

00:
29:01,156 -- 00:29:03,534

What did you do? Why did you do that?

563

00:
29:03,617 -- 00:29:05,415

I didn't mean to. I didn't...

564

00:
29:05,494 -- 00:29:07,667

Sh*t! What the hell is

wrong with you? Look at this!

565

00:
29:07,788 -- 00:29:09,790

- Will you just calm down!

- The guy's probably still in there!

566

00:
29:09,873 -- 00:29:11,625

I'm sorry, okay?

567

00:
29:12,668 -- 00:29:14,921

- Andrew, stop, stop!

- But I can... I can help!

568

00:
29:15,003 -- 00:29:17,256

- I can get him out.

- Stop doing things!

569

00:
29:17,339 -- 00:29:19,717

Steve! Steve!

570

00:
29:23,971 -- 00:29:25,814

Steve, be careful!

571

00:
29:26,306 -- 00:29:27,899

Sh*t! Sh*t!

572

00:
29:28,684 -- 00:29:31,483

Oh, my God, Andrew. Are you kidding me?

573

00:
29:33,661 -- 00:29:33,939

Steve!

574

00:
29:34,022 -- 00:29:36,901

Oh, God. Oh, God.

575

00:
29:36,984 -- 00:29:38,986

Goddamn it!

576

00:
29:39,069 -- 00:29:40,616

Steve!

577

00:
29:42,572 -- 00:29:44,325

Andrew! Oh...

578

00:
29:45,409 -- 00:29:46,535

Sh*t!

579

00:
29:47,411 -- 00:29:50,255

Sh*t, Sh*t, Sh*t, Sh*t!

580

00:
29:51,873 -- 00:29:53,921

Oh, Matt, he's got him!

He's got him. He's got...

581

00:
29:54,001 -- 00:29:55,594

Help me.

582

00:
30:02,009 -- 00:30:03,977

I'll get in back of him.

583

00:
30:04,052 -- 00:30:05,975

Get him up.

584

00:
30:12,644 -- 00:30:15,614

Hang on. Steve, stay with him.

I'm gonna go get some help.

585

00:
30:15,731 -- 00:30:16,948

- Are you calling the cops?

- Yeah, yeah.

586

00:
30:17,065 -- 00:30:19,159

- Will you stop? I can't hear them.

- Will you hang up the phone?

587

00:
30:19,276 -- 00:30:21,025

Yeah. It's just down past,

uh, White Crescent Bridge.

588

00:
30:21,026 -- 00:30:21,574

Matt, he's fine.

589

00:
