by a greater force.

Okay, Isaac Newton.

I'm telling you, man,

he's been deep as hell

on this trip.

I can't even deal with it.

I mean, people are telling us

that the French

are the king of the rude.

I wouldn't exactly call that

a greater force.

Plus, we already bought

our train tickets, so...

So, you guys just wanna stick

to the original plan?

Might as well.

I just need my selfie with the

Eiffel Tower and we're good.

(WOMAN SPEAKING DUTCH ON PA)

Hey, can you, like,

take a candid photo of me

and the train station?

All right.

You realize it's not candid

if you ask me

to take it though, right?

Just get me from the side

or something like that.

All right.

(CAMERA CLICKS)

All right, there you go.

You only took one photo.

Yeah, so?

I think it looks good.

I need multiples, man.

'Cause I mean,

I know I look good.

But I need options.

Guys, come on.

- That's us?

- SPENCER:
Yeah, let's go.

ALEK:
All right.

- You ready?

- SPENCER:
Let's do this.

Look, there's some guys here.

Excuse me. Terribly sorry.

- Hello.

- Hello.

Would you mind helping my dad

on board the train?

- Oh, of course. Yeah, sure.

- With his suitcases.

Thank you so much.

That's so lovely.

Give that to Spencer.

Thank you very much.

I'm sorry to accept

but it does help.

- ALEK:
No problem.

- Thank you. That's so kind.

If it doesn't go, you can

carry me all the way to Paris,

- can't you?

- Uh, I'll give it a shot.

(ALL LAUGHING)

MAN:
Yeah, God bless you.

ALEK:
Excuse me. Thank you.

- Thank you very much.

- Watch your step here.

MAN:
That'll be fine. Yes.

Yeah. God bless you.

Thank you very much.

Yes. Thank you so much.

Our seats are those.

Yes, they are.

We're here.

Thank you so much.

- ALEK:
Okay.

- God bless you guys.

- No problem.

- Yes. Ah!

- Thank you so much. Wonderful.

- Thank you.

- Have a good trip.

- You too.

You guys have a great trip.

Thank you.

- Thank you, thank you.

- No problem, sir.

- WOMAN:
Bye-bye.

- You guys just wanna sit here?

ALEK:
Yeah. Looks good.

(INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT ON PA)

ALEK:
Bye, Amsterdam.

I'm kind of sad to leave it.

It was fun.

- I know, really.

- Me too.

It was a blast.

All right. I'm tired of this.

And I'm bored.

I'm gonna go check

the Wi-Fi in first class.

- I'll be back.

- ALEK:
All right.

We should have

brought some snacks.

- You know he gets cranky.

- (CHUCKLES)

Even I could go for a snack.

Probably the perks

of first class.

Maybe we should go

find those seats.

Right now,

I just need some Wi-Fi

so I can upload

these pictures.

(CHUCKLES)

SPENCER:
Found it.

First class is up there

and the Wi-Fi

is way better. Let's go up.

ALEK:
Sweet.

ANTHONY:
Perfect.

It was nice meeting you.

Safe travels.

WOMAN:
Thanks so much.

ALEK:
This is way nicer.

I told ya.

I'm gonna get

that window seat.

Sure, man. Whatever.

Thanks. (LAUGHS)

I'm gonna take the solo.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Snacks coming in,

twelve o'clock.

may I offer you

some snacks or a drink?

- Yeah. Could I get a Coke?

- Sure.

Thank you.

There you go.

Can I get some red wine,

please?

- Sure.

- Thanks.

- Thank you.

- For you, sir?

Can I actually have a red wine

as well, please?

- A red wine?

- Yeah, please.

Thank you.

Please let me know

if you need anything else.

ANTHONY:
Oh, we will.

Hurry up and drink this sh*t

so we can ask her

to come back again.

- (BOTH CHUCKLE)

- Oh, yeah.

Oh, my God. Look at

the baby soda, Spencer!

Alek, shut the heck up.

ALEK:
So cute.

I'm about to go to sleep.

Uh, I guess nap time it is.

Can't hang.

No, just take him.

Hold him down.

Don't worry.

Hey, try not to move, okay?

ALEK:
You guys got him?

I'm gonna go

clear the other cars.

SPENCER:
Listen to me,

Listen to your wife.

It's okay. See,

when you move like that,

we can't do that, all right?

- All right.

- SPENCER:
Okay?

ISABELLE:
Don't move, Mark,

please. Stay with me.

If I lose it,

you're gonna die, okay?

- Okay.

- I know you're hurting,

but don't move, okay?

Listen to me. Listen to me.

I love you.

MARK:
I love you, too, baby.

ISABELLE:
You stay

with me, okay?

- SPENCER:
Hey, Mark? Mark?

- Yeah.

Hey man,

do you wanna say a prayer?

- No, thanks.

- SPENCER:
No?

He's not ready to go.

- SPENCER:
Okay.

- He's just not ready to go, okay?

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

No, no. It's okay.

Anybody got a towel?

Anything! Anything!

It's okay. It's okay.

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

WOMAN:
No, no, it's okay.

He's a good guy.

He's helping us.

Is anybody else hurt?

No. It's okay. It's okay.

Tell everybody

just to stay back here.

Okay.

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

Just take the tie. Go on.

Get it around under his arm.

Under his arms.

SPENCER:
Ma'am. Ma'am!

ISABELLE:
Yeah.

Okay, I need you

to talk to him.

Help me keep him awake.

Hey! Hey!

- What's your name?

- Mark, you're gonna be okay.

Mark.

Mark. Hey, I'm Spencer, man.

Hey, it's gonna be all right.

We got it. Okay?

I'm cut up a little bit, too.

ISABELLE:
You're gonna

be okay.

SPENCER:
It's gonna be

all good. All right?

We stopped the bleeding.

Where are you from?

Virginia.

Virginia. Hey!

I'm from California, man.

We're both Americans.

I love you, okay? Don't go.

SPENCER:
You're gonna be

all right, all right?

We're gonna get some beers

after this.

It's gonna be all good.

- Look at how lucky we got.

- ALEK:
Sh*t.

It's, like, one in a million.

Spencer, Spencer.

Here. I got a sweater

so we can stop the bleeding.

Can you use this sweater?

Yeah, that's okay. I got it.

- Okay. Okay.

- Okay?

- Yeah, what do you need?

I need a med kit or something
