time.
I know that, but I'm not!
And I don't want you!
Ernie,
try to understand.
What's to understand?
Good night.
Nature.
Understand nature.
Out here you only survive by
understanding your opponent.
Opponent?
Thanks a lot.
No, look, if y-
if you want to tame
or conquer or anything,
you have to imagine what it's like being
the object of that conquest, or whatever.
Imagine what it feels like
actually being them.
And that applies...
whether it, s an eagle
or a mountain, a stream...
or me.
It's the same thing.
Lecture over?
It's no big deal.
Then don't sulk.
Lady, where I come from
there's no such word.
Oh, yeah?
Well, what do they call it
where you come from?
Souchak,
take it easy.
ust move slowly. Don't try to go too fast.
There are good handholds
right there, to the left.
You, re doing fine,
souchak.
You, re almost here.
All right?
Whoa! Ohh!
Don't pull me over.
You did well.
come on.
There's Max.
He doesn, t like us here.
Why don, t we leave?
Don, t you want to know
if Bruno made it?
Oh, right. Bruno.
Where's my head at
these days?
Shh.
I can't feel my f ngers.
I hope
we don't fall off.
I'd hate to
disturb them.
Dear Lord, I'm sorry to
keep troubling you,
but i, m hanging
from a rock here.
Now, i, m not complaining. I just
- Look. i
Look, it's Bruno.
Huh?
He's alive!
Bruno?
is that him?
Uh-huh.
Go for it, Bruno. i
Look at that. i
Bruno, s alive. i
He made it. i
Hey, Bruno!
The Indians believed that a bald eagle
could push the sun across the sky...
and that it was the heat of the sun
that turned their head feathers white.
The sun? The sun. Tell me
more about the heat of the sun.
You did great
out there today.
Here.
This is for you.
It's an eagle feather.
Mmm.
It was a sign of strength
and courage to the Indians,
and a brave could only wear it
after he proved himself in battle.
How's that look?
Nice.
Ernie? Ernie, wake up.
esus, I'm shaking.
Everything I've got
is shaking.
Must be the withdrawal symptoms.
Yeah. Withdrawal symptoms.
come here. I want to show
you something. come on. What?
Oh.
Beautiful, isn't it?
Mmm.
Tricky climbing.
Don't worry
about me, babe.
You're talking to
a feather owner.
Hey, let me take the lead for a while.
I've been watching
how you do it.
Oh, really?
come on.
It'll be fun.
It'll be interesting. Yeah.
That's what worries me.
Well, please be careful.
All right?
No problem.
Let me put a rope on you. And I
don't wanna hear about your cousin-
In the Boy Scouts-
Ernie. i
Ernie?
Lie still
and catch your breath.
Put your arms down.
Do you feel broken anywhere?
No.
How's your head? How many of me do you see?
One.
Looks nice.
Do you think
you can move at all?
I think dancing's
out of the question.
Let's get-
Aah! christ!
I slipped my entire back.
All right, just lie down.
Take it easy, all right?
Lie still.
catch your breath.
Let's hear it
for the chef.
Thanks.
Wouldn, t it have been
easier to call an ambulance?
is this
too tight?
No getting in with me.
No dice.
I promise.
Okay.
We lost the dogs.
They're gone.
Don't worry.
I've got you.
Aah.
Oh, my God.
Hang on, Ernie.
Boy, this is some fun.
Sorry.
Are you all right?
I'm just f

We, II trade places
after a while.
You okay?
I'm tired.
It's today.
Hmm?
Deke Lewis is supposed to
come get me today.
Don't hold your breath.
There.
Don't move.
I could try to get a helicopter
for you on the shortwave.
They may come
for an emergency.
You know, I think
it's just sprained.
If I could rest it
a little while-
We'll see how it is
in a few days.
Yeah, I'm sure it's gonna be
a lot better in a few days.
Mmm.
Oh, that's good.
Little lower.
Yeah?
How is it here?
Oh, yeah-
How is it

Better,

Day one I wrote she

She should never use it.
She's flush and rosy and-
Get ahold of yourself,
Souchak.
