God!

Oh, man.

Hello?

Help me!

Kelly. You seen Davis this morning?

Knowing him, he's still sleeping.

- Go wake his ass up.

- Davis!

Get up, you big baby!

Davis!

- Wake your ass up, man.

- Davis?

Well?

His stuff s all here.

Any of you lads seen Davis this morning?

He's not there.

- This was you...

- Davis?

- telling him he jinxed us.

- Davis!

- Oh, come on. I didn't mean that.

- Quit screwing around!

- He couldn't have gone far.

- Could he? Could he?

- How the hell could we lose someone? Davis!

- John!

We should have paired up. Someone

should have been watching him.

Hey! Not another word

from you. You hear me?

- John!

- It's coming.

He's got to be out here

somewhere. I've got to go find him!

Too late, Rodney!

Hey! Get back here!

Right. I'm not losing another friend

out here. I have to go and find him!

No! No one else dies, understand?

He's only a kid, for Christ's sake!

- Alex! Alex!

- God!Jesus!John!

Alex! Towns is right! He's right!

- You can't help him!

- John!

- You can't.

- John!

What kind of odds do you give us

a search party's gonna find us?

About five percent.

Right. Five percent.

So, based on a five-percent chance...

you're gonna choose to sit

on your ass and do nothing?

As opposed to what?

Trying to figure a way out of here.

- Look, we are in the middle of a desert...

- Yes. I know.

with no radio, very little

water, even less food.

If we try to walk out of here,

we're gonna last about two days.

The odds of crashing an airplane

so I would consider myself an optimist.

Or maybe just an a**hole.

All right.

Listen, since Davis just disappeared,

they're pretty freaked out.

- They should be.

- They're looking to you.

Lady, this is not the Girl Scouts.

I am not everybody's den mother. They

are grown men. They can deal with it.

Thanks a lot.

You're welcome.

Kelly, please, come sit with me.

I'm just curious.

The pipe jacket in the back

- what's it all worth?

Not much. It's worn or used up. Nothing.

It's the same with the tools.

Why?

Hang on a minute.

You don't think anybody's coming.

Do you?

- Well, do you?

- I don't know, Alex.

Don't be pathetic.

I'm telling you, they're coming.

I know they are.

- For who,you?

- Yes, for me.

And for you.

They have a corporate

responsibility for all of us.

They're out there right now,

searching. It's just a matter of time.

recommending our site

be closed down, right?

Yes, I did.

Don't you think they'd do the same

thing before mounting a search for us?

Add it up.

Don't kid yourself,/an.

We hitched a ride with the trash...

not the other way around.

Screw this. I'm outta here.

Yeah, I'm coming with you,

and I'm taking some water.
