I know what I saw.
Mr. Axelrod, you're fired.
- Fine, I dont give a f***.
Just get me out of here.

Sir, you need to pull out
the stop button.
It's not moving.

Do you hear he's worried about my language.
We're hanging here, squeezed
like a f***ing sardines

I bet language is not the problem,
Did I miss something?

Let's try going down.
Maybe it will reset.
That was promising.
Who are you texting?
- Martha. I'm telling her we're stuck.
Which she'll love it.
- She's gonna make a documentary about it.
Oh, Man.
- Hey pal, its ok, this probably just a glitch.
How the hell would you know?
You said we never get stuck.
Technically, we're stopped.
- Do you wanna try the intercom there?
I mean, I'm sure someone's on
duty and get this thing moves.
Sometimes this thing just need
a little jiggling to free them up.
Great, the battery's dead.
I'm hungry.
- We'll be there soon.
I can't breathe.
- Look at here.
See if this would help?

My husband taught me to be prepared.
Hey, I dont really think that's the best idea.
- Your idea's suck.
