That's the length of a f***ing

Geico commercial.

You know, I'm impressed

anyone...

could have upstaged

that flight attendant.

Well, this is you, guys.

I had a... I had a really good

time tonight.

Yeah, me too...

despite, you know...

- Night.

- Night.

Hey.

You know, since we're gonna be

stuck here tomorrow...

it may be nice to see the city.

Maybe get a little crazy, buy a

St. Louis magnet for the fridge?

Yeah, I-I actually need

a magnet.

I have a fridge.

Great. Let's just connect

in the morning then.

Ice water.

Wait, you can't go.

I need you to open our door.

We... we both have keys.

I left mine in the room.

- I think that's the bell...

- Well here, whatever...

you can... you can just

take mine.

You know what?

I'll just go with you.

Don't be silly, you don't need

two people to get ice.

Thank you.

I just thought it would be

easier for you.

Elevator's closing, good luck

with the ice, guys.

- Oh, goodnight!

- Goodnight!

[MEG] Ice? Really?

At least I didn't pull

my boob out.

Do you think I did that

on purpose?

I know that you did.

You have great tits.

That's insane!

Listen, I know you wanna

do your thing...

- Not the great tits part.

- But I actually like him.

- Well, I love him.

- You love him?

Yes, I love him.

You don't even know

his last name.

So? Do Romeo and Juliet know

each other's last name?

Yes! Montague and Capulet.

Oh, I'm an English teacher.

I want him.

Not this time.

You want me to choose?

Whichever, we're totally cool

with it.

Yeah, totally. I'm cool, too.

Well, I mean, they say the

St. Louis art museum's pretty...

great, but what a day to hit

the botanical gardens, right?

Or door number three.

Boom! A hot air balloon ride!

- Now that is rad.

- A balloon?

He said he wanted to see

the city.

This way he can see all of it.

Aw, man, this seems way more fun

than paintings and plants.

Yeah well, you know, it's not

just paintings, it's...

it's furniture and sculptures

and...

Oh, I forgot your fear

of heights.

Oh... oh, we don't have to do

the balloon ride.

Oh, no, I know.

How about you hit the museum...

Ryan and I will go

in the balloon...

and then we can all meet up

for dinner later.

Yeah, if you're scared

of flying.

No, I'm not scared.

I'm not scared.

It's just airplanes, so I'll go.

I'm going.

- You sure?

- Yeah, absolutely.

It'll be an adventure.

All right then... go ballooning.

[PILOT] The ride should last

about an hour.

My brother will follow us

in the chase car.

Make sure all personal

belongings are secure.

Also, for the lovers, we have

cold champagne for purchase.

Okay, any questions?

Um, I don't mean to be rude,

but can you see?

Uh, don't worry, ma'am.

I, uh, see just fine.

Just messing with you.

All right then.

Let's touch the sky!

Woo!

Here we go!

Wow.

Beautiful, isn't it?

St. Louis doesn't look so bad

from up here.

It's pretty spectacular, right?

Yeah, it's really great.

You okay? You're sweating.

Yeah, no, I'm good.

I'm just... I'm really hot.

It'll be nice and cool when we

hit about 2,000 feet.

How high are we right now?

- 500.

You, uh, you sure you're okay?

Yes, yes, yes.

No, no, no, no, no!

You get me down right now!

Get me down right now!

Ma'am, ma'am, we gotta go

up to catch the current.

F*** the f***ing current!

attack.

- Oh, great.

Breathe. Breathe.

Find your breath. Look at me.

stare into my eyes.

They're... so beautiful.

Like... like a... robin's egg.

Let's sing a song, you and me,

okay?

Pretty pretty please

Like you're less than

- I'll take the f***ing champagne.

F***ing perfect

Look who has bubbly.

Let's drink some champagne and

really take in this view.

You know, I'm not sure

alcohol...

is a good idea for her

right now.

I wasn't talking about her.

She's fine.

This happens all the time.

- Ssh.

- Oh, you should go and have fun.

Hey, I am having fun.

Me, too. So much fun.

- Agh, my eye!

- Oh, sh*t! Sh*t!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

Did you hit him in his good eye?

- She hit me in my only eye!

- [KATE] What?!

Here, let me take a look,

let me take a look.

Is it bad? I can't see.

Yeah, you got a small cut.

- Oh god, he's crying blood!

- Your pupil is red.

- Sh*t! Sh*t!

- I don't think it's too serious.

- There's a little bit of blood.

- Oh my god we're gonna die!

Everybody calm down!

No one's going to die!

We're just gonna have to land

a little early, okay?

- Okay.

- Okay.

Now, I just gotta ask:

has anybody ever piloted...

a hot air balloon before?

- (SCREAMING)

- What?

What the f*** are you talking

about?

[PILOT] Calm down! It's gonna

be all right!

(MARIACHI MUSIC PLAYING)

(SCREAMING)

(ALL SCREAMING)

- Are you okay?

- No!

Oh my god! Oh my god!

[PILOT] Can somebody call

for an ambulance?

Pretty pretty please

don't you ever ever

Please! Please be quiet!

Shut the f*** up!

(DISTANT SCREAMING)

Que pasa?

Hey, how was the balloon ride?

Nice view of the arch, right?

It was great.

I have some good news

from the airlines.

The flight's back on?

No, they found your bag.

I'm so sorry, I should have

led with that.

Yes! Thank you, Anuj.

Well, shall we celebrate

being alive?

Honestly, I think

I'm just gonna relax.

I'm gonna go upstairs, call

Florida, maybe hit the pool.

- Oh, I'll join you!

- I'll come with you.

I love the pool.
