Didn't I?

I trust you.

Don't start doubting that okay?

Okay.

I just wanna make sure

you understand what's expected

- of you here.

- [LONG BEEP]

Oh, shoot! Come on.

[PLANE REVVING]

[PHONE RINGING]

What was that, Bloom?

It was kinda hard

to follow this time.

- BLOOM:
What was hard to follow?

- That line of bullshit

you love to read me about how

this is all for my own good.

[BLOOM CHUCKLES]

We have a good thing going here.

Yeah, you give me a laptop,

I give you a new life.

It's not bad for a night's work.

I need those coordinates now.

Yeah, when I get them,

you'll be the first to know.

What do you mean?

You said they already sent them

to you.

Bye.

So, 50...

minutes of fuel, 48 minutes out.

That's f***ing...

[PHONE RINGING]

[RINGING CONTINUES]

[RINGING CONTINUES]

That's f***ing...

[PHONE RINGING]

Yes?

MAN:

Hey, what happened?

Happened? Uh, sorry?

You just climbed suddenly.

Is there a problem?

No. No, no, no.

No problem.

From this point on,

you check in every 10 minutes.

- Okay, what, I...

- I want updates.

I just call you on this line?

This behavior

is not good, my man.

We have decided

to change your terms.

What do you mean, change?

What behavior? What do you...

- [LINE CUTS]

- Hey!

[PHONE DIALING]

[LINE RINGING]

Hello?

Hello!

It's fine, it's fine.

JEN:
[ON PHONE] Sean?

Sean?

Were you talking to someone?

SEAN:
Talking to you.

Thinking out loud.

JEN:
[ON PHONE]

Did you get my voicemail?

Um, I'd rather hear it

from a horse's mouth.

What... what was it?

It's just for...

for when you land,

for the drive home.

Um...

Uh, tell me

about your day.

Oh, my day, my day,

my day...

What'd I do today?

Well, I...

lay in bed for a while.

This new medicine

makes me feel like sh*t.

Can't wait to get this

damn operation over with.

Then I did laundry

and thought about you.

And then I took a bath, so,

I could really think about you.

Then I decided

the next time you take

a long transport contract

with the Peace Corps,

I'm coming with you.

- Sh*t!

- What happened?

Oh, I popped a button.

Too many burritos.

Uh, no, they don't have burritos

here. It's just...

It's plates of rice and beans

and the occasional tough flank.

Ugh, sounds like the makings

of a disgusting burrito to me.

SEAN:
[ON PHONE] No, I guess they do.

Yeah, they have burritos here.

But they're... theyre different.

Everything is a little bit

off here, you know?

Like some bizarro

Corpus Christi.

JEN:
[ON PHONE]

It's so beautiful this time.

Those thin clouds are out, so...

it's all blue,

with orange streaks.

- Mm-hmm.

- You didn't see it, did you?

What?

We watched the sunset together.

I... I...
