STEPHEN:
How are we getting out?CHARLES:
Uh...OK,you see this...
See that constellation?
Cassiopeia--the big W.
OK...try the right edge
of the W.
Points to the North Star.
The North Star is north.
Tomorrow,we walk south
to the river.
The riverwill take us home.
Will itwork better
than that compass?
-Yeah.
-(Chuckles)
l hope so.
Why do people die in the woods?
They die of shame.
Yeah.
Puts things in perspective,
doesn't it?
What's that?
Out here. A little different
from thefashion world.
Differentfrom snorting coke
off the girls' hipbones.
ln whatway?
(Laughing)
Charles,you know,
You think so?
That's my report.
(Chuckles)
(Thunder)
(Stephen groaning)

-So?
What?
Then what are our chances
when all is said and done?
We can walk out of here
and probably die,
orwe can stay here,
and he'll certainly die.
-Seriously?
-Yeah.
They're betterthan good.
We know thatthat's north,
and that's...

the winter here.
The riverwill take us out.

(Crying)
You have anything
you'd like to livefor? Hmm?
You know something?
You know something?
Maybe we were right
to have let people like you...
run this country
all these years.
You're the only ones
dense enough!
l'm not dense,
l just have no imagination.
(Laughing)
Making a decision tree,
is that it?
That's it, Bob.
We can'tthinkthey'd come back?
No. You shouldn'tthink
they would come back.
(Crying)
They've scouted this area,
and they'll move on.
All right.
All right.
Firefrom ice.
Let's have it.
lce, if you take it
into your hands,
can be molded into a lens...
...which will concentrate
sunlight intofire.
Hmm?
l doubtwe'll be reduced to
that. We still have the matches.
l believe that's all we'll need.
Oh,Jesus. Oh,Jesus.
CHARLES:
Well,there's, uh...there'sfish in there.
Whatwill we usefortackle?
How will we baitthem?
Wouldn'tyoufind that
attractive?
l don't know. l, uh...
lt's gold.
l'm not in a very humorous mood.
Come on.
Don't go native on me, Bob.
l'm sorry. l'm justtired.
l'm...very tired.
Why don'tyou rest...
and gather some wood?
(Growling)
(Roaring)
Bob! He's a man-killer--been
following us the whole time.
He's stalking us.
Come on!
(Bear roars)
(Bear roars)
(Growling)
(Growling)
He's toying with us.
What are we going to do,
Charles?
Huh?
What, do l have a plan?
Am l supposed to have a plan?
You tell me.
We can't move.
ltwon't let us eat.
Well...we're going
to starve up here.
(Bear growls)
What are we gonna do?
We're gonna kill him.
CHARLES:
We get him to attack.Spear, bait.
lnduce a charge.
Bear charges and rears.
As hefalls,
he impales himseIf on the spear.
Same principle as the deadfall--
use his own weightto kill him.
What are we gonna use
to bait him?
We lure him.
-What?
-We lure him!
You know...Masai boys in Africa,
they kill lions with spears.
How do we..."lure" him?
Eleven-year-old boys
kill a lion.
lndian boys used to run up
to the bear and slap him--
count coup on him
as a test of manhood.
No, no, Charles.
How are we going to lure him?
Blood.
Blood!
We'll have to distract him,
of course.
We'll have to distract him and
trap him, but it can be done.
Do you believe it, Bob?
You believe it?
-l don't know, Charles.
-Huh?
-l don'tthink it'll work.
-ltwill work!
No.
ltwill work. What one man
can do, another can do.
You can't kill the bear,
Charles. He's...
He's ahead of us all the time,
like he's reading our minds.
He's stalking us,
for God's sakes!
You wantto die out here, huh?
Well,then die.
But l tell you what...
l'm not gonna die. No, sirree.
l'm not gonna die.
No, l'm gonna kill the bear.
Say, "l'm gonna kill the bear."
Say it. "l'm gonna kill the
bear. l'm gonna kill the bear!"
Say it!
-l'm gonna kill the bear.
-Say it again!
-l'm gonna kill the bear.
-And again!
l'm gonna kill the bear!
Good. What one man can do,
another can do.
What one man can do,
another can do.
Say it again!
What one man can do,
another can do!
-And again!
-What one man can do...
another can do!
Yeah! You're goddamn right.
'Cause today...l'm a-gonna
kill the motherf***er.
