Kevin, you know I love you.

I'm joking with you. I'm joking. Stop it.

- I'm joking with you.

- Mind your own business, Wayne!

- What are you getting so hostile for?

- I don't know.

Me and you are on the same side.

We're on the same side.

- I'm just tired of the teasing a lot.

- Kevin, we're on the same side.

Let me get some...

If I want some vagina, let me get it.

- Whoa. He's serious about this.

- Let's just play cards.

- Can we just play cards?

- Let's go, then.

$2, $4, $6, just put all the money in.

I just wanna see

everybody going for broke.

- You want to play?

- No.

- Kevin, what have you got for the week?

- I got 260.

We're at 260.

We're gonna stay right at 260,

that's our number.

We've got 20,000 pounds.

We've got 20,000 pounds

we need to get rid of.

Maybe just do all that after lunch

before we get back into everything else.

Can we do the $500 reserves...

What do you think about all this?

I like all this.

I don't think he can do it.

Is there a library

or bookstore around here

where I can get books

on hunting and preserving?

Anything at all to do with hunting

or preserving the meat,

smoking it, whatever the hell it is,

talk to Kevin over there.

That's your man.

Outdoorsman. What's your fascination

with all that stuff?

I'm going to Alaska.

Alaska, Alaska? Or city Alaska?

Because they do have markets

in Alaska.

The city of Alaska. Not in Alaska.

In the city of Alaska, they have markets.

No, man. Alaska, Alaska.

I'm gonna be all the way out there,

all the way f***ing out there.

Just on my own.

You know, no f***ing watch,

no map, no ax, no nothing. No nothing.

Just be out there. Just be out there in it.

You know, big mountains, rivers,

sky, game.

Just be out there in it, you know?

In the wild.

- In the wild.

- Just wild.

- Yeah.

- Just...

What are you doing when we're there?

Now you're in the wild,

what are we doing?

You're just living, man.

You're just there, in that moment,

in that special place and time.

Yeah.

Maybe when I get back,

I can write a book about my travels.

Why not?

You know,

about getting out of this sick society.

- Society!

- Society!

- Society, man!

- Society!

- Society! Society!

- Society!

Society, you know! Society!

'Cause you know

what I don't understand?

I don't understand why people,

why every f***ing person

is so bad to each other so f***ing often.

It doesn't make sense to me. Judgment.

Control. All that, the whole spectrum.

- Well, it just...

- What "people" we talking about?

You know, parents, hypocrites,

politicians, pricks.

This is a mistake.

It's a mistake to get too deep

into all that kind of stuff.

Alex, you're a hell of a young guy,
