Oh, God, you saved my life!

696

00:
35:59,908 -- 00:36:02,411

Oh, my God!

697

00:
36:02,494 -- 00:36:04,371

- Okay.

- Holy sh*t.

698

00:
36:04,454 -- 00:36:07,003

Is that the camera? You

saved me and the camera?

699

00:
36:07,082 -- 00:36:09,050

Please tell me you got

that on tape! You have to...

700

00:
36:10,752 -- 00:36:13,005

Ah, sh*t.

701

00:
36:13,088 -- 00:36:15,090

- What the hell...

- We're alive!

702

00:
36:15,215 -- 00:36:17,718

- What do you mean? The hell happened?

- You didn't see what happened?

703

00:
36:17,801 -- 00:36:21,851

Oh, sh*t! Andrew! Andrew! You're a genius!

704

00:
36:21,930 -- 00:36:23,853

We got to see this! Holy...

705

00:
36:23,932 -- 00:36:25,980

All right. Oh. Holy sh*t.

706

00:
36:26,059 -- 00:36:29,734

Wait. Oh, God! We're on the ground. Yes!

707

00:
36:31,481 -- 00:36:32,778

We have broken history!

708

00:
36:32,857 -- 00:36:34,825

I mean, I'm talking about

since the caveman times.

709

00:
36:34,901 -- 00:36:37,620

Uh, the Egyptians, the Wright brothers.

710

00:
36:37,696 -- 00:36:40,119

Come here, Matt. Come

here. Get in here. Get in.

711

00:
36:40,198 -- 00:36:41,450

Say it. I can fly.

712

00:
36:41,574 -- 00:36:43,417

- I can fly.

- I can fly!

713

00:
36:43,535 -- 00:36:44,878

- Oh, come on.

- Say it with your chest!

714

00:
36:44,994 -- 00:36:46,462

- I can fly!

- Say it, Matt.

715

00:
36:46,579 -- 00:36:48,798

- Shout it out!

- I can fly!

716

00:
36:48,873 -- 00:36:50,716

I can fly! I can fly!

717

00:
36:50,917 -- 00:36:52,885

I tried to save you, man.

Andrew was just quicker.

718

00:
36:52,961 -- 00:36:54,087

How does that go again?

719

00:
36:54,170 -- 00:36:56,138

We almost died.

720

00:
36:56,214 -- 00:36:58,717

- Oh, please.

- Gestures...

721

00:
36:58,800 -- 00:37:00,802

How does she not notice though?

722

00:
37:00,885 -- 00:37:02,762

Come on. Let's be serious, guys.

723

00:
37:02,846 -- 00:37:05,440

She definitely noticed

that it's gotten better.

724

00:
37:05,557 -- 00:37:07,355

- You just gotta be, you know...

- Yeah?

725

00:
37:07,434 -- 00:37:08,902

You just gotta be subtle.

726

00:
37:09,677 -- 00:37:11,105

That is so cool.

727

00:
37:12,021 -- 00:37:14,991

Dude. And I haven't had sex since summer.

728

00:
37:15,066 -- 00:37:17,910

I haven't had sex since ever.

729

00:
37:17,986 -- 00:37:19,363

- Really?

- Really?

730

00:
37:19,487 -- 00:37:21,956

- That is completely unacceptable.

- Well...

731

00:
37:22,031 -- 00:37:25,035

How are you guys so cool?

How are you guys so cool, man?

732

00:
37:25,160 -- 00:37:27,709

Liquid nitrogen.

733

00:
37:47,182 -- 00:37:48,604

Hey, guys?

734

00:
37:49,725 -- 00:37:51,478

Guys? You guys up?

735

00:
37:53,062 -- 00:37:54,314

Yeah.

736

00:
37:55,190 -- 00:37:59,366

Hey, uh... Today was like...

737

00:
38:01,070 -- 00:38:05,746

It was like, I think,

the best day of my life.

738

00:
38:06,868 -- 00:38:08,211

Like, I mean...

739

00:
38:10,288 -- 00:38:13,542

I'm thinking about it, and

I can't think of any day...

740

00:
38:13,625 -- 00:38:16,720

that I liked better than today, you know?

741

00:
38:18,505 -- 00:38:22,510

I really... I think it was.

742

00:
38:27,722 -- 00:38:28,974

Yeah.

743

00:
38:31,309 -- 00:38:34,188

Unanimous.

744

00:
38:34,270 -- 00:38:35,522

Yes.

745

00:
38:35,605 -- 00:38:38,074

Okay. Good.

746

00:
38:40,610 -- 00:38:42,112

Okay, check this out. Say what you want,

747

00:
38:42,195 -- 00:38:44,072

but I'm thinking about booking

it to Maui for the weekend.

748

00:
38:44,197 -- 00:38:45,494

- What's up with that?

- Seriously?

749

00:
38:45,573 -- 00:38:48,167

Well, we could do it. I mean,

I was thinking the same thing,

750

00:
38:48,243 -- 00:38:50,291

except I've always wanted to go to Tibet.

751

00:
38:50,912 -- 00:38:52,414

- Why Tibet?

- Tibet?

752

00:
38:52,497 -- 00:38:53,999

Yeah. I don't know.

753

00:
38:54,082 -- 00:38:55,834

It seems really beautiful,

you know, with all the...

754

00:
38:58,586 -- 00:39:00,384

Will you shut up? Shut...

755

00:
39:00,505 -- 00:39:03,554

- The monuments and mountains, you know?

- Mm-hmm.

756

00:
39:03,675 -- 00:39:08,181

I don't know. And the monks have achieved

such a high level of enlightenment...

757

00:
39:08,263 -- 00:39:10,982

that they can, like,

float and sh*t, you know?

758

00:
39:11,099 -- 00:39:14,694

- So we would fit right in.

- We could really mess with their heads as well.

759

00:
39:16,229 -- 00:39:18,778

Yeah, but, like, seriously,

I think we should go.

760

00:
39:20,441 -- 00:39:25,038

It would be really cool. Peaceful.

761

00:
39:25,113 -- 00:39:28,538

No, I think it's a really good

idea. I actually would like to go.

762

00:
39:28,616 -- 00:39:30,459

I'm down. You down, Steve?

763

00:
39:31,578 -- 00:39:33,330

What... I... I don't know, man.

764

00:
39:33,413 -- 00:39:36,587

There's no bikinis in Tibet. So I

don't know if I'm down with that.

765

00:
39:36,708 -- 00:39:40,178

- It was brilliant. Oh, it was so amazing.

- She might have lost her job.

766

00:
39:40,253 -- 00:39:43,427

Oh, sh*t, dude. I got my

mom's birthday. I gotta go.

767

00:
39:43,548 -- 00:39:46,301

- It's Aunt Deb's birthday today?

- Yeah. I gotta go. I gotta go.

768

00:
39:47,510 -- 00:39:49,558

- Tell her I said hi.

- Later, Matt.

769

00:
39:49,637 -- 00:39:52,265

All right, what do you want to

do now? Where do you want to go?

770

00:
39:52,348 -- 00:39:54,771

I don't know. I mean,

I don't want to go home.

771

00:
39:54,851 -- 00:39:56,353

Oh, do you want to go into the city?

772

00:
39:56,477 -- 00:39:58,654

Nah, it's rush hour, bro.

It's gonna be so much traffic.

773

00:
39:58,655 -- 00:40:00,232

So what?

774

00:
40:00,315 -- 00:40:01,988

Oh, yeah. That's right. Duh! Let's go.

775

00:
40:08,531 -- 00:40:10,408

Oh, hey. Sorry, I just...

776

00:
40:10,491 -- 00:40:11,959

Hi.

777

00:
40:12,785 -- 00:40:14,458

Do you mind if I film you?

778

00:
40:14,537 -- 00:40:17,962

Uh, a little bit. I don't really

like being on camera actually.

779

00:
40:18,875 -- 00:40:21,845

Well, maybe it's, like, exposure therapy.

780

00:
40:21,920 -- 00:40:24,548

Yeah. No, I just came by to

give you something actually.

781

00:
40:25,882 -- 00:40:27,304

- You did?

- Yeah.

782

00:
40:28,801 -- 00:40:29,768

What?

783

00:
40:29,844 -- 00:40:31,596

I was watching your, um...

784

00:
40:32,972 -- 00:40:35,270

your... your... you know, your blog?

785

00:
40:35,350 -- 00:40:37,899

There's a drought in the

Central African Republic, right?

786

00:
40:38,019 -- 00:40:41,114

Yeah. So I saw that and I thought it

seems pretty cool, and it's cheap too,

787

00:
40:41,189 -- 00:40:42,691

so I thought why not?

788

00:
40:44,108 -- 00:40:45,576

- Totally.

- Yeah.

789

00:
40:46,093 -- 00:40:50,574

Yeah, I can tell that you're

really global and big picture,

790

00:
40:50,698 -- 00:40:53,292

- concerned about that kind of stuff.

- Yeah.
