The Ruins Page #2

they could use a map.

All right. Give me a couple of minutes?

- Rally the troops?

- Yeah. Yeah.

- Half an hour in the lobby?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- All right.

Do you know

what they do to people down here

who don't honor their bets?

Bus leaves in like 15 minutes.

They smash their hands.

No, they do. They take broomsticks,

and they just like, whack,

smash their hands.

I mean, it's a true story.

It's kind of brutal, but it happens.

What are you gonna do?

- Get up! Get up!

- Come on!

Come on! Jeff's gonna be pissed

if we miss it.

The terrible wrath of Jeff,

followed, I'm sure, by the even more

frightening whining of Amy.

She's not that bad.

No, but I bet she's feeling pretty

awkward right about now, don't you?

Don't say anything.

I mean it. Not a word.

- Come here.

- Come on!

Look, be a shame

to smash these pretty little hands.

Will you please get in the shower?

Come here for a second. Come here.

Come here.

You know,

you're in Mexico now, muchacha.

Muchacha?

And you can't just lose a bet like that

and expect to walk away free.

How much do I owe you again?

I'll be quick. So quick.

Okay.

- You okay?

- I'm fine.

You don't sound fine, honey.

Hey, that's really helpful, thanks.

Here you go. Come on.

Let's get going.

- Maybe I shouldn't go.

- What?

You're gonna be back tonight.

I'll just, like, sleep until then.

You wanna spend

our last day sleeping?

I'll just hang out, like

read or something.

Amy. Come on.

People come from all over the world

just to see these ruins.

And this one isn't even on the map.

I'm not taking you

to some tourist trap, honey.

Don't you wanna have some experience

or something to shoot,

other than just the beach, the pool,

the beach, the pool?

Well, you're already dressed.

You might as well just go without me.

Hey.

But I don't wanna go without you.

- Okay, let's go.

- Yeah?

- Okay, let's go.

- Okay.

Ready?

What are you so happy about?

Watch out for that.

I'm sorry.

Wow.

- Amy, there's a puppy!

- Heinrich?

Hello?

- What?

- I don't know.

So, now what?

We take taxi.

- How far?

- 18 kilometers.

Hey, how many miles is that?

It's about 11. Maybe a little bit more.

Then there's a path,

which we hike for 4 kilometers.

Okay, no one said anything

about a hike.

Amy!

- Stacy!

- Come here!

Well, I don't see any cabs.

That's a bit of a problem.

What?

- Yeah.

- I don't know what you're saying.

There we go.

Why?

No, it's good. Is there a mirror?

How much, you drive us here?

No, no. This place, no good.

I'll drive you to pyramid.

Muy grande. Everybody go.

I take you. I take you.

Yes.

- Hey! Amy, Stace!

- Bye, puppy!

I wanna stay with the puppy.
