  [Gerry and Gerry are both lying on the ground] 

  Gerry : [softly]  How do you think the hike's going so far?

  [pause] 

  Gerry : [softly]  Pretty good.

  [pause] 

  Gerry : [softly]  I'm leaving.

• Gerry : [after several minutes of walking in completely silence]  Fuck you.

  Gerry : Fuck you.

• Gerry : Why don't you make me a dirt-mattress?

  Gerry : No, Gerry.

  Gerry : Come on, dude. I crow's-nested all the way up here to scout-about the ravine 'cause you Gerried the rendezvous.

  Gerry : Well, I gotta haul the dirt.

  Gerry : Well, get haulin'.

  Gerry : I can haul it from over here.

  Gerry : Shirt basket?

  Gerry : Shirt basket.

• Gerry : Fuck the thing!

  Gerry : Power run to the thing!

  Gerry : No, fuck the thing. It's probably just some thing at the end of the trail.

• Gerry : Come on, dude, let's go.

  Gerry : I can't.

  Gerry : Why not?

  Gerry : Fucking marooned.

  Gerry : Come on. You're not rock-marooned. Just climb down.

  Gerry : But I am rock-marooned. I can't climb down. I'm gonna have to jump.

• Gerry : I thought maybe you'd succumbed.

  Gerry : I almost did succumb, but then I turbanned up, and I feel a lot better.

• Gerry : I conquered Thebes.

  Gerry : When?

  Gerry : Two weeks ago.

  Gerry : How'd you do it?

  Gerry : Well, I got... I did more than that, actually. I said to Gerry, "I ruled this land for ninety-seven years... and, uh... and, uh, I'd like it." I had all the sanctuaries built. And then I, uh... this hot lava leaked out of a volcano, and half destroyed one of the - my sanctuary to, uh... Demeter, I guess it was. And, um... but I didn't have the... the marble to rebuild, like, the sculptures, and the - to fix the sanctuary. But I already had all these, um, docks, to, like, Calydon and... Argos, and... I had everything. I had everything. Um, I was trading with, like, twelve cities. And, uh... I had-I had a really good army. But, um, the river had - the river had just flooded. And it flooded out, like, four of my docks, and I couldn't import the marble, to rebuild the sanctuary. And she got - Demeter got really pissed off, and so she made my fields infertile. And then, uh... so I couldn't grow the grass. I couldn't grow the wheat, to feed the horses. And there was no... I couldn't... and there was nowhere for the sheep to graze... and the goats. And so my people were getting hungry and restless, and then, um... and so I, I couldn't trade because the - the rivers had flooded. And so, uh, Knossos, one of my vassals, got really upset with me, and, um... turned against me. And they, uh... attacked me. And because I couldn't, I couldn't train any sheep 'cause I didn't have the wheat. I didn't have, uh... I didn't have a, um... a, uh...

  Gerry : You couldn't train any sheep?

  Gerry : I couldn't train any of the *horses*, because I, uh, didn't have the wheat. And so, when they attacked me, I just got... they just dogged me. And I actually went to send my army out to defend the city, and, like, you can only send 'em out if you have, uh, twelve - if you have twelve, uh, trained horses, and I had eleven. So... I was one... horse... shy... I don't know... of saving the city.

  Gerry : So then you didn't really...

  Gerry : Oh, I *had* conquered Theb - I had just conquered Thebes. And then that happened.

• Gerry : But we didn't see anything that looked the same and we could have just Gerried off in all these different directions.

  Gerry : Yeah, but we could have bailed early, you know, we could have just bai... we ma... we... I mean, there were so many just different Gerries along the way...

• Gerry : What are you doing on that rock?

  Gerry : Looking for you.

  Gerry : Why didn't you just go to the spot?

  Gerry : I did. You weren't there.

  Gerry : I've been there. I was just sitting there.

  Gerry : Dude, that's not the spot. The spot is like a half of a mile that way. I was at the spot. I was waiting for you forever. I was yelling your name. And I just came walking up here, and I saw this rock. I crow's-nested up here to scout-about the ravine 'cause I thought maybe you Gerried the rendezvous. Sure enough, that's not the spot.

  Gerry : All right, my fault.

• Gerry : So we were going east, all right, which is a total Gerry...
