(chatter, laughter)

(people grunting, moaning)

This place is f*cking wild.

Clarence:
This is basic.

Level one.

You ride out of town, that's when the real demented sh1t begins.

That's where my man Teddy comes in.

He's like a guide.

Honestly, the guy kind of creeps me out.

(laughs)

f*ck it, he leads us out in the canyons, we get bored, we just use him for target practice.

Father:
I don't think we're supposed to be cross the river.

It's too adult for Jacob.

We didn't mean to bother you.

No bother at all. It's a beautiful spot.

I always found it a shame that I have it all to myself.

They come here every day.

Would you like a closer look?

(Horse nickers)

(clicks tongue)

Don't be scared. They're very gentle.

Here, put your hand out real flat.

They're beautiful, aren't they?

You're one of them, aren't you?

You're not real.

I have to go now. Sun's almost down.

You should, too. There's bandits in these hills.

(Man whistles)

Man #2:
Hyah! Hyah!

(Horse whinnies)

(men shouting, whistling)

Here we go, yah!

Yah!

(Whistles)

You waiting up for me, Daddy?

I told you I'd be home before dark.

I found this in the field today.

Doesn't look like anything to me.

But where is she?

Have you ever seen anything like this place?

Doesn't look like anything to me.

I'm gonna help Mama put supper on.

(Lighter clinks, clicks)

I had the same thought.

Needed a little sunshine before turning in.

So, when do you get to rotate home again?

If you're this bad at writing small talk, how the f*ck did you get your job?

Get to the point.

I wanted to apologize if I came across as aggressive.

And I wanted to talk to you about the update.

The problem's been resolved.

There should never have been an update in the first place.

Ford and Bernard keep making the things more lifelike.

But does anyone truly want that?

Do you want to think that your husband is really f*cking that beautiful girl or that you really just shot someone?

This place works because the guests know the hosts aren't real.

So what exactly are you suggesting?

Stop the updates altogether.

Maybe even roll them back a bit.

Make the hosts more manageable.

Lobotomies tend to do that.

Well, think of the benefits in terms of design time, maintenance, costs.

Not to mention the Dr. Ford factor.

The guy's gonna chase his demons right over the deep end.

I mean, no one respects him more than me, but at some point...

I. No one respects him more than I.

Your pronoun is the subject of the second clause.

I was saying...

You were saying should our fearless leader have a breakdown, you want to leverage it for your career.
