...Peeled off the road and went

straight through the guardrail.

594

00:
30:33,263 -- 00:30:33,962

Hey, is that on?

595

00:
30:34,082 -- 00:30:34,929

...This is a game or something?

596

00:
30:34,930 -- 00:30:37,177

I don't understand how

you guys can be so angry.

597

00:
30:37,252 -- 00:30:38,720

You don't understand how we can be angry?

598

00:
30:38,795 -- 00:30:41,674

Andrew, you... you put somebody

in the hospital tonight, okay?

599

00:
30:41,757 -- 00:30:43,179

Do you understand that?

600

00:
30:43,258 -- 00:30:46,057

Andrew, look at me. You

put a guy in the hospital!

601

00:
30:46,136 -- 00:30:49,060

How do you feel about

that? You hurt somebody!

602

00:
30:50,865 -- 00:30:52,688

- Sh*t.

- We need rules, okay?

603

00:
30:52,768 -- 00:30:55,021

Rule number one:
No

using it on living things.

604

00:
30:55,103 -- 00:30:58,198

Rule number two:
You can't use

it when you're angry. That's it.

605

00:
30:58,315 -- 00:31:00,153

Rule number three: I

don't think we should be

606

00:
31:00,154 -- 00:31:02,070

using it in public or

telling anybody about it.

607

00:
31:02,194 -- 00:31:04,913

Look, you can't just declare

rules, okay? I will declare rules...

608

00:
31:05,030 -- 00:31:07,624

You're the one that said that

nothing matters. I will declare rules.

609

00:
31:07,699 -- 00:31:10,669

If we're gonna keep going, and we're

getting stronger, we need rules.

610

00:
31:10,744 -- 00:31:12,246

We need rules, right?

611

00:
31:13,747 -- 00:31:15,249

Matt's right. We need rules.

612

00:
31:29,471 -- 00:31:31,894

Andrew! Answer the goddamn phone!

613

00:
31:35,526 -- 00:31:35,898

Andrew!

614

00:
31:35,977 -- 00:31:37,854

Matt, what did he say?

615

00:
31:42,818 -- 00:31:43,990

Are you still mad at me?

616

00:
31:44,111 -- 00:31:46,364

- No, I'm not mad.

- Well, you seem mad.

617

00:
31:46,446 -- 00:31:48,119

I'm not mad. I just...

618

00:
31:48,198 -- 00:31:51,498

I just think that we need to be more

careful now, you know? We can't...

619

00:
31:52,494 -- 00:31:57,591

We have to think a little bit more. We can't

just do things. We have to think first, okay?

620

00:
32:00,043 -- 00:32:02,091

- I understand.

- Okay.

621

00:
32:02,295 -- 00:32:04,523

Why is Steve out in the boonies?

622

00:
32:05,006 -- 00:32:06,508

Where are we?

623

00:
32:06,591 -- 00:32:07,592

Steve?

624

00:
32:08,885 -- 00:32:10,137

His car's right there.

625

00:
32:10,220 -- 00:32:11,813

Yeah. Steve, where you at?

626

00:
32:13,974 -- 00:32:15,692

Steve!

627

00:
32:17,269 -- 00:32:18,771

Look up.

628

00:
32:19,563 -- 00:32:20,735

Hello, boys.

629

00:
32:20,814 -- 00:32:21,407

What?

630

00:
32:22,482 -- 00:32:24,280

- What is up?

- No. No.

631

00:
32:24,359 -- 00:32:26,327

Wait, guys. Wait, wait, wait.

Check me out. Hear me out.

632

00:
32:26,445 -- 00:32:28,072

- You're flying!

- Holy sh*t!

633

00:
32:28,196 -- 00:32:31,291

- Wait, wait, wait. Hear me out. Hear me out.

- No way! No way!

634

00:
32:31,366 -- 00:32:32,492

What are you doing?

635

00:
32:32,576 -- 00:32:36,581

It's much easier than it looks. I

swear. It's much easier than it looks.

636

00:
32:36,663 -- 00:32:38,085

Oh, my God, dude.

637

00:
32:38,206 -- 00:32:39,219

Make sure you catch yourself.

638

00:
32:39,220 -- 00:32:41,460

- Don't try and jump, or you'll just flip yourself.

- I got it. I got it.

639

00:
32:41,585 -- 00:32:43,132

- Come on, Matt. Come on.

- All right.

640

00:
32:43,253 -- 00:32:45,597

Oh, sh*t!

641

00:
32:45,672 -- 00:32:47,299

Oh, man!

642

00:
32:47,424 -- 00:32:48,926

- Eating dirt, man.

- Why don't you get behind me?

643

00:
32:49,050 -- 00:32:51,144

- You were in my way.

- What do you mean?

644

00:
32:51,219 -- 00:32:53,768

Think Harrier jet. Think Harrier jet.

645

00:
32:55,849 -- 00:32:57,692

Oh, man.

646

00:
32:58,226 -- 00:32:59,978

- Goddamn it!

- Are you okay?

647

00:
33:00,103 -- 00:33:01,525

- I'm watching.

- Just let me concentrate.

648

00:
33:01,646 -- 00:33:03,740

- Focus! Focus!

- Okay! Hold on.

649

00:
33:05,192 -- 00:33:06,660

Is that your focus face?

650

00:
33:06,735 -- 00:33:08,237

Oh, my God, dude.

651

00:
33:09,779 -- 00:33:10,951

- Whoo!

- Bullshit!

652

00:
33:11,072 -- 00:33:13,291

- I'm up! I'm up!

- Are you kidding me?

653

00:
33:13,408 -- 00:33:15,160

- Holy crap!

- Hold it! Hold it!

654

00:
33:15,285 -- 00:33:18,255

- Oh, my God, dude. I am doing it.

- Holy crap, dude.

655

00:
33:19,873 -- 00:33:22,501

- Yeah!

- That's it, man. You're doing it.

656

00:
33:22,584 -- 00:33:23,631

Whoo-hoo!

657

00:
33:23,752 -- 00:33:26,847

- Okay. Okay.

- Andrew, don't fart. We'll never find you again.

658

00:
33:26,922 -- 00:33:28,799

Steve, stop me. Stop me, stop me.

659

00:
33:28,924 -- 00:33:30,426

- Oh, my God.

- Whoa, whoa.

660

00:
33:30,550 -- 00:33:32,928

- You are flying now.

- You guys look so cute together.

661

00:
33:34,253 -- 00:33:36,933

I'm coming up. I'm

bringing the camera, okay?

662

00:
33:37,057 -- 00:33:38,684

All right.

663

00:
33:40,477 -- 00:33:41,854

All right. How do we get down?

664

00:
33:45,982 -- 00:33:47,825

- Whoo-hoo!

- Yeah!

665

00:
33:49,277 -- 00:33:52,372

Andrew! It's freezing up here!

666

00:
33:52,447 -- 00:33:55,246

I can't hear you.

667

00:
33:56,326 -- 00:33:57,873

Activate hyperdrive!

668

00:
33:57,953 -- 00:33:59,500

Whoo!

669

00:
34:02,821 -- 00:34:04,422

Where the hell are we?

670

00:

Whoo!

675

- Tag, you're it!

- Watch out.

676

00:
34:22,060 -- 00:34:24,939

- Pump the brakes!

- Whoa! Aah!

677

Hey, Matt! You're finally good at something!
