We usually go to the Arizona

Gem Show every year.

But this year, Barb got

a deal on this resort.

Well, enjoy it.

Ecuador's a pretty place.

No arguing that.

But you can't

let your guard down.

That is right.

That is exactly right.

A lot of terrible things

happen outside

these little gates.

Exactly. See?

The world's a scary place.

One in four tourists in

South America are kidnapped.

What? Incredible!

Not true.

Totally true.

One, two, three,

somebody's missing.

It's false.

Oh, my God.

Anyway, Barb retired

last year. Oh, look!

That's her over there.

Finally getting some peace.

You know,

she was in special ops.

And she's seen some sh*t.

Hi, Barb!

Special ops! Wow, that's

very interesting.

Oh, don't bother

waiting for a response.

Barb cut her own tongue out

when she left the service.

Precautionary measures

to prevent from

being interrogated

for top secret information.

Couldn't they just torture her

into writing down

the information?

Well, anyway, I best get going.

Here's my number, in case you

guys want to grab dinner

or lunch, or breakfast,

or a snack.

Okay.

Or just kinda sit, you know?

Just sittin'.

Thank you, Ruth.

Thank you so much.

See you at dinner.

EMILY:
WOW.

LINDA:
Well

I'm going to be having a

lovely evening here tonight

reading my novellas.

Well, I'm going to get ready

and have a drink.

What a shock.

(SHUTTER CLICKS)

(SHUTTER CLICKS)

Hey, do you mind if I join you?

Hey, that dude...

Oh, no. Uh, sorry.

You.

Mind if I join you?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah, come over.

Please.

Uh, not you. It was me.

Excuse me?

Could you kind of beat it?

'Cause you're a distraction.

Hey, how are you?

I'm James.

Emily.

Hi, Emily.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

What happened to your arm?

Did you try to kill yourself

'cause you're so ugly?

(BOTH LAUGH)

No, I, um

I've just spent the past

few weeks in Koh Phangan.

Mmm.

And my last day there I kept

thinking about that quote

"Man cannot discover new oceans

"unless he has the courage

to lose sight of the shore."

Wow, I love that you don't

care about sounding

like a weirdo.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Well, you know,

I wanted a tattoo

to symbolize that

but I'm pretty sure

I must have been wasted

because I don't know

what Borat has to do

with any of that.

That is brutal.

Yeah, it is.

But, actually, I can beat that.

Look at this.

Okay.

I got this.

I was 18, okay?

Look at that.

It's raised.

Touch it, it's raised.

That is horrible.

I got it at the worst place.

And my skirt's over my head.

Is that finished?

I mean, people have

certainly finished on it.

(LAUGHING)

I'm sorry.
