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

He left yesterday behind him

You might say

he was born again

You might say he found a key

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

It keeps changing fast

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

not backing me up right now.

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.

- I think I taste copper.

- 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.

The girls are gonna hunt for

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.

Is there anyone there?

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,

been waiting for the right time.
