to the water,

and we just drink our faces up.

Or else they go to the mating

grounds, you know, and...

And then they mate,

and they get thirsty,

and they come back.

All right, but, I mean, I...

Yeah.

We don't know how far

the water is, though.

And I don't think we should

abandon the higher-ground idea,

'cause it was a good idea.

And that was a rolling hills

scout-about.

And if we go on a mountain,

like, crow's-nesting,

like that mountain over there...

Yeah, but...

We know where the water is now.

We could just go there,

and then get water

and then go on our mountain,

the mountaintop scout-about,

after we've gotten water.

I think the mountain's

a better idea

because what if we go

to the mating grounds

and they see us

and they get self-conscious,

and then they don't mate?

Then we'II just...

And then

they won't get thirsty...

Whichever way it is,

if we go there,

and it's the mating grounds,

then we'II just watch them

from a brush.

They won't know we're there,

they won't have any body shame,

and they'II mate,

and get thirsty,

and then they'II come back,

and lead us to the water.

All right.

F*** this.

I can't even

see the tracks anymore.

F*** 'em.

Do you think we should

just go over to that mountain?

Just stop crying, man.

Where you going?!

I don't know!

You wanna help?!

F*** you.

We're walking north-northwest...

for...

a couple hours... a ways...

But that's been the way we've

been walking the whole time.

I mean, it's been

30 hours of walking.

North-northwest.

- Okay?

- Uh-huh.

We've gotta be f***ing close

to the highway.

Yeah.

But we got lost.

I mean, we were going...

We walked our ways,

and maybe it was north.

And then...

We came,

we turned around, and...

We got off...

We started going straight back

down the way we were going.

No, we didn't.

No, no, no, no.

Before we turned around, we

started going down the same way.

But we had turned before...

No, we didn't go

the same f***in' way.

We have not seen any

of the stuff that we've seen.

We haven't passed

anything that looks familiar.

Whatever our direction is,

it's not south,

and it has not been south.

We veered off

at a different point,

and when

we started to come back,

to go back, we started

back the exact same way.

But we didn't see anything

that looked the same.

We could have just

bailed early, you know.

There were so many gerrys

along the way.

We took a...

I mean, we started

going back the same way,

and then we stopped

and said it didn't look right,

and then we went to the right

for a little while.

So we were going east, all

right, which is a totaI gerry

because that's f***ing
