Don't Blink

No... no, no. No, no.
Alex, go back inside.
You had to have seen it.
You tell me what happened!
What happened?
Get down off her! Jack!
Alex, come on,
man, let her... get off...
Tell me!
Alex, stop!
Tell me! I will choke the life
out of you! I swear to god!
You saw it. Tell me what
happened! Tell me!
He was born in the summer
of his 27th year
Coming home to a place
he'd never been before
You might say
he was born again
for every door
When he first came
to the mountains
His life was far away
On the road
and hanging by a song
But the strings already
broken
And he doesn't really care
And it don't last for long
But the Colorado Rocky
Mountain high
We have seen it raining fire
In the sky
You can talk to God and
Listen to the casual reply
Rocky Mountain high,
Colorado
Rocky Mountain high
- Hey.
- Dear god, thank you.
Babe, you can't just turn
off Denver. That's not okay.
Not everybody has your love
for "Rocky Mountain High", baby.
You know what?
The man was a genius.
All right, he was a genius, and
I don't... I don't understand it.
I don't understand why you're
I think it's appropriate
for the environment.
It's the best music to ever
grace God's green earth.
Did that hurt? Was that hard?
Did you hear that?
She likes him, okay?
- No, no, no, she doesn't.
- Yes, she does.
No, she's saying that, because she
doesn't want to hurt your feelings...
And my sister is weak.
The needle's been on empty
for the last ten miles.
Okay, there's usually plenty of gas in
the tank when the needle's on empty.
Yeah, I'm well aware of the relationship
between the gas tank and the needle.
I've actually driven
a car before.
However, eventually, when the needle's on
empty long enough, it really means it.
Are we there yet?
Not yet, baby, why don't you
just try to stay still.
I'm sorry I got sick.
It's okay, honey, just...
Warn us again if you feel
like you need to throw up.
I will pay to have
your car cleaned.
Seriously, how far are we?
We're coming up on it soon. I
told you it was out of the way.
Chip me.
Thank you.
You fill it back in Preston,
you'll have just enough gas -
- to make it up to the resort.
There's only one road in and
nothing else for miles.
You'll love it, though,
it's so worth the trip.
You know, I'm just...
College is kicking my ass -
- I need to decompress
a little bit.
When Charlotte asked me if I wanted to
come out to the woods this weekend...
I was like, "Oh, Jesus,
no, thank you," you know?
But then I remembered
that I had this pine cone once.
That was pretty cool.
Am I the only one that's noticed, that
nobody's driven in the opposite direction?
It's off-season,
it's not that surprising.
Hey, can you
pass me that bottle?
Sure, why?
I gotta pee.
I said I can pull the car over.
No, no, no, no, no need.
It's a great thing
about being a guy.
- We can piss in a bottle.
- Don't.
- Oh, my god, are you peeing right now?
- Don't.
- Dude, do not piss in my car.
- Oh, sick.
I... I've started now,
I've started, I can't stop.
Once you pop the cork,
it's a chain reaction.
What's done cannot be undone.
- Oh, Jesus, oh.
- Oh, my god, I'm gonna kill you.
Why is there no sound?
I bank it off the side,
I'm like a ninja.
Hey, you guys should know,
this is like my third bottle.
Oh, my god, I ate a chip
you handed me!
You're a dead man!
You know, you people
are all violent.
How did I get stuck
in the violent car?
Because the car with the single
ladies in it wouldn't take you.
They said you had a B.O. issue.
They did not.
Did they?
So both Alex and Lucas
are pretty cute.
Should we have
a single lady Rochambeau?
No, no, I'm not... not
really up here for that.
I just really need
some peace and quiet.
I have a lot of reading to do
to, you know, finish my thesis.
Oh, Claire's old.
What's the connect
to that Claire chick?
She's Tracy's old friend.
Oh, ho-ho...
it's a possibility.
Yeah, maybe not, no.
So did you hear that Ella is
coming up for the weekend, too?
Yes, I did. That's not awkward.
Ah, come on, her and
Jack get along fine.
You wouldn't even know
they broke up.
- She's bringing her new boyfriend.
- Fun.
Seriously, dude,
we're not gonna make this.
Look, I told you to relax,
here we are.
Yay!
Wow.
- Told you. Pretty cool, huh?
- Yeah, it's amazing.
Dude, I was sweatin' it
the last few miles.
Riding on fumes over here.
Why, it's not a hybrid?
Hey, hey, hey.
Ssh-sh, she'll hear you.
Do you think Ella got here
before us?
Isn't that her car?
What you got there?
Oh, uh, apple juice.
Ella?
Ella, honey.
Ella?
Oh, Jack, I'm so sorry.
And that's what happens when you
invite the ex to a weekend outing.
Are you okay?
Oh, is she okay?
I was just asleep and then he kind
of scared the crap out of me.
Well, how long have you guys been here?
Uh, I don't know,
I fell asleep back in Preston.
- Man, it's hot out here.
- That's fantastic.
I'm sorry, did I fall
in front of you. Don't mind me.
- Come on, she didn't hit you that bad.
- Oh, really? Oh, man!
Everything okay out here?
Oh, yeah, well, some swollen balls, but
other than that, we're hunky-dory.
- What?
You must be Noah.
- Good to meet you.
- Tracy.
Tracy.
That must make you Jack.
Yeah, it must.
- When did you guys get here?
- Uh, just a couple of minutes ago.
I went inside, but I couldn't find
anyone to check in with, so...
- That's odd...
- I need a bathroom.
- Sorry.
a bathroom, Charlotte, are you in?
Totally, I need
to clean up... Sorry.
It's fine.
- She's young.
- Shut up.
Hello?
Anyone there?
That's weird, what time is it?
2:
30.Hello?
Hey!
Hey, cutie.
Let me see my bear.
There!
Oh, thank god!
Hello.
Okay, there's no credit card slot.
I guess we're on the honor system.
Man, these things are ancient.
And broken apparently.
All right, I'm gonna
check the other one.
Uh, actually, I don't
think that's the problem.
Oh, yeah?
Old gas pumps have a key that
turns them on, there at the base.
The key for these pumps
is missing.
How come you didn't know that?
- How come you're so ugly?
My grandfather owned
a gas station.
Well, color me impressed.
So I guess we need
to find a key, then? Alex.
Noah, nice to meet you.
Dumb one is Sam.
- A least I can get smarter.
- No.
Weird.
Yeah.
Hello?
- Oh, my god.
- Whoa.
Jumpy much?
Christ, you scared
the sh*t out of me.
Sorry.
- Now we're even.
- Yeah, thank you.
So, I take it you couldn't find
anyone to check in with.
No, no, I didn't.
That's weird.
Yeah.
So, does Jack know?
Does Jack know what?
Does Jack know?
God, what are you psychic?
No, I'm a year away
from being a registered nurse.
And I'm a little psychic.
No, I haven't told him yet,
