The Last Descent Page #2

So what we're looking for

is The Birth Canal.

It should be around

here somewhere.

This is even one

of the easier squeezes

'cause everybody has to do it.

[both panting and struggling]

Heh, and I give you the slide.

JOSH:
Let's do this.

-JOHN:
All fight.

This place is unreal.

It's warm, too.

Yeah, I did a lot of reading

on this monster

before I got the permits.

-Yeah?

I guess, they haven't even

explored all of it yet.

Back before they closed it,

they were getting like

5.000 people a year.

That's a lot of people going

to a cave that has no end.

Right?

Did they say why

it's called Nutty Putty?

Yeah. I guess as you get

deeper into the cave,

you'll see

these nodules of chert

that are seeping

out of the rock, right,

and as you get deeper in,

it gets really humid,

so it makes it soft, so you can work it

between your fingers,

and it don't... it feels like

you're handling honey.

Rocks that turn into honey?

Are you kidding me?

We have to do that.

Right?

-Yeah.

Well, I don't think it

actually turns into honey,

and I think you got

to get pretty deep, too.

I don't know.

-Well...

I could be messing

it all up my head.

Well, the more you know.

Bam, bam, ham, bam I

That's absolutely

not the jingle, but nice try.

[laughs]

Whatever, man.

Whatever.

JOHN:
I gotta

be honest, I'm impressed

with your suddenly

random knowledge.

I'm just reciting what I read

fight off of the web page.

Oh, take the win, Josh.

Oh, come on, man.

I really love it

when you accidentally

show your awesomeness.

You don't need to clown me.

-I'm not clowning you.

I'm not.

You know, I'm only good

at anything

because I get pushed.

Okay?

Like when

I was a high school kid,

and you were just the kid,

you know,

you used to show me up when

you hung with the older guys.

But it made me

look great, you know?

Like remember

that one time at Scout camp,

where I came

with a mascot thing?

Oh, yeah, yeah. Beav.

-Yeah, The Beav.

You know,

went and carved it

on all the trees

where you were camping.

It looked awesome.

-Yeah. Yeah, it did.

It did, it looked awesome.

You know,

a large chunk of who I am

is because, you know, of you.

And that's

a good thing, though.

Hopefully, I return

the favor, even slightly.

Yeah.

Yeah. Let's keep going.

[imitating Yoda]

Proud of you, I am, Joshwalker.

You can't just let a moment

be a moment, can you, man?

I can't.

- [Josh laughs]

It's getting harder to do, too.

My throat hurts.

Ah, wait up.

-All right.

It's got to be

around here somewhere.

Still worth looking for?

-Oh, yeah, yeah.

It's supposed to be really cool.

It's okay. I'm enjoying this, man.

I missed you.

- [laughs]
