Joe, what do you tell your dad when you leave all the time? If we were talking, I still wouldn't tell him shit. Jesus, what happened between you two? Nothing. He's just an old, lonely prick, and I want to get out of there before I end up anything like him. Joe? Can I talk to you for a second?

"My name is Jamal Colorado, and I have kidnapped your son. "He is unharmed, and will stay that way if you abide by the following rules." "Jamal Colorado"? "Anfernee Texas"? "D'Sean Utah"? Yeah, I decided on the format of Denzel Washington: a black first name, followed by a state.

Honey, I got the classic ciabatta bread. - They finally had it. - You're getting wild. - Sliced. - Yeah. - This is our big day. - You're crazy. We usually do rustic ciabatta. I know it. Mom, Dad, I'm going to spend the night at Joe's. Oh, okay, honey. Well, I already made dinner, though, so take some vegetable soup for you and Joe. Uh, no, thanks. No one likes vegetable soup, Mom. Well.. Okay, we're in Pretendland, I guess. "Nobody likes vegetable soup." - Did you hear this, honey? - I heard it. - Oh, my God. - He's your son. Listen, tell Mr. Toy to put some white rice underneath it. It'll be delightful. Mom, no. No vegetable soup. We're not eating vegetable soup. I'm getting a Tupperware. Here, take this tomato.

You okay, fatty? No. No, I'm not. I-I'm really nervous. We're really doing this, huh? Yes, we are. I've never done anything like this, Joe. It's starting to freak me out. Well, uh, neither have I. Kind of the point. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. Just, okay, before I make a big decision, I always, you know, say to myself, "I'll do it unless God gives me a definitive omen in the next 30 seconds." So, you know, it's just some dumb superstition I have. If you don't want to do it, that's fine. But.. Do you want to? Sure, yeah. It's.. Yeah, so just like, close your eyes, and yeah. You got it.

Oh. Okay, let's go. Wait, what? No, no, that was thunder. Definitely a bad omen. No, come on, that was thunder. That's a tree. This is a rock. Come on, man, it's nature. It's not an omen. Have some common sense. - "Common sense"? - It's not like a raven told us to go away. Yeah, we're doing this.

What the f..? Jesus. - What time is it, man? - Who cares? We're out in the woods. There's no time in the woods. Let's go exploring. - What? - What? Of course there's time in the woods. You go outside and you look at the.. The sun, and the higher it is in the sky, the later it is in the day.
