I mean, someone's trying to kill themselves.

A jumper.

What the hell are you looking at?

Don't point at me buddy.

Lady, move that dog.

Buddy, can you move over a little bit?

Like two feet.

Did somebody call the police?

- Yes, but he'll be dead before they get here.

Somebody needs to talk him down.

- Move out the way!

Help him!

Hey buddy.

Who are you man?

Don't try anything. I'm going to kill myself,

so don't try to stop me.

Okay.

- What do you mean 'Okay'?

No. I don't mean, 'Okay'.

Just give me a second.

I should say something here.

But I don't really know what it is.

- Man you're terrible. Are you even cop?

Hold on a second, I'm thinking.

Wait, I've got it.

Where you going, man?

My man? Hello?

- Don't do it, I'm coming.

Patience is a virtue.

What the hell are you doing in there?

# I wish you would step

back from that ledge my friend #

# You could cut ties with

all the lies that youve been living in #

# And if you do not want to see me again #

# I would understand #

# I would understand #

What is it?

# The angry boy a bit too insane #

# Icing over a secret pain #

# You know you dont belong #

# Well everyone I know has got a reason #

# To say put the past away #

# I wish you would step back from that ledge my friend #

# You could cut ties with

all the lies that youve been living in #

# And if you never want to see me again #

# I would understand #

# I would understand #

# I would understand #

# I would understand #

# I would underst... #

I've got blisters on my fingers.

Carl.

Stephanie. Ted.

Hey. How's it going?

What are you guys doing here?

- We're doing a week in Tahiti.

Ted's father owns a little piece of property.

A hundred acres isn't so little, hon.

Not in Tahiti, anyway.

I saw you on TV. That was amazing, Carl.

It was just a little life that needed saving.

No big deal.

So, where are you headed?

Meeting my girlfriend here.

We don't know where we're going.

Really?

- Yeah, we're just going to pick a place.

Kind of an 'eeny, meeny, miny' thing

Keeps it fresh.

I'll see you guys.

That sounds like a lot of fun.

- Can you imagine?

No.

I have some carry on, here

I'd like two tickets

on the first plane out of here, please.

We have never done this before.

The next flight available for boarding is to...

Lincoln, Nebraska.

Okay. Okay? - Okay.

Yeah, Lincoln. Here we come.

Where does someone go in Lincoln Neb?

- Well, clearly we should go there.

Telephone Museum

The earliest switchboard operators'

headsets weighed over 10 1/2 pounds.

Interesting.

- Look at this.

The first phone call ever.

- Pretty cool.

Check out the phone.

Smaller than I thought it would be.

Hold on. I'm vibrating.
