and it can eat you alive.

This is my beer to spare.

Excuse me young lady,

is this man bothering you?

Cause I can get rid of him

for you if you like. - Really?

Thank you boys.

- There you go.

Gentlemen, on the house.

You got...

She is salty.

This isn't gonna work.

What's your solution then?

I don't know.

Wait.

Wow! Sorry, ok!

- Sorry...

Lo siento, solo queramos hielo.

- I'm sorry...

Ok, so...

Show me your hand.

First one out, loses.

Loses what?

- The girl, balland.

Ok...

Pact of silence.

We never talk to each other about her.

Ever.

Deal?

- Deal.

Ok...

T minus ten.

Nine...

eight...

seven...

six...

three, two, one.

Today I drank water from a stream.

I also ate the meat leftovers

by the bonfire

but they tasted of ash

and I had to spit them out.

I heard a scream in the distance

and I ran towards it.

Beats bouncing

inside my chest very fast.

I screamed with all my heart.

I laugh, my eyes filled with tears.

But there was no one there.

Do you know why I started to work here?

You never told me.

When I was seventeen I spent the summer

with my parents in the country

and I met this boy.

He was a pilot.

It was...

It was the best summer.

It was perfect.

And then at the end of it,

he just vanished.

I keep thinking...

that he'll be

on the next bus full of new recruits.

Or the next one.

So you're not here

because you love your job?

I hate space.

It's such a...

such a bizarre place...

There's so much to see down here.

If you were a time traveler,

but you could only travel in one direction,

which one would you chose?

Forward or back?

A few years ago,

I would have said back, for sure.

Now I'm not so certain.

I'm scared to death, you know?

I don't recall having dreams before.

There was a small crystalline pond

There was a small crystalline pond

blue, red,

and silver colors.

And all was bathed by the sun

in such an intense way

Everything was normal

except there was a lack of atmosphere.

The tree, the pool...

everything floated adrift in space.

I was impressed

to see the stars so clearly.

Let's show the cards.

Don't be shy boy.

Friends of friends are always welcomed.

Let's see what you got.

Tell them the story

you told me and Vladimir the other day.

Ok...

So my parents run a collective farm

producing wheat and potatoes,

I was very young,

to look after the labourers.

We had this one worker who...

He is the laziest human

being you've ever seen in your life.

From Moldavia!

- From Moldavia!

And the guy answered, "Yes, I would".

But here comes the best part,

tell them what you answered.

So I said "Ok, you're fired".

Well I know somebody,

who definitely should be fired.
