A Difficult Decision in Unfamiliar Terrain
Zak
It is too... too from the other side.
Tyler
Yeah, well, we ain't got many options. I'm not walking through two days of brier bushes, and we can't go back the way we came. So, we're going swimming. You got a better idea?

We... we could get a plane.

Take your pants off.

You hold on with everything you got, because I sure as shit don't want to have to go swimming over there thinking about you sinking us. I don't want to dredge the bottom for your body. You understand?
[''Wading in river'']

Tyler, am I gonna die?

[''A fishing trawler heads towards them'']
Zak
That is the greatest story to tell. Uh, come on.

Let me tell you something. Imma tell you a story. I'm gonna tell you a story. When I was younger, my brother and I were camping at this place called Caffey's Inlet, and there was a big ass hornet's nest down by the water. So I walked over to them all excited. I'm young, I'm into baseball. And I hit that son of a bitch like a fucking home run. And it exploded on me, and I got stung up real bad. My face swelled up, my eyes got real tight, and I couldn't see shit. Walked back into camp and my brother Mark said to me; "You keep stirring shit up, you're gonna get yourself killed boy". You understand what I'm saying? You ever kick a hornet's nest?

[''Turns and starts walking'']
Zak
No.
Tyler
No, you don't! No, you don't! No more; "Tyler, Tyler"! No more!

Inspiration from a Heroic Figure
Video Salt Water Redneck
...Salt Water, some people claim the Atomic Throw is impossible. Those people are wimps! If you believe in yourself, like the Salt Water Redneck believes in himself, you too can learn the moves, the skills, the Atomic Throw. Some of these moves are outlawed in international countries.
[''Zak mimics throwing'']
Carl
We watched that throw ten times already.
Zak
I love Salt Water Redneck, and he is my hero, and he is totally... he is totally a badass. And he's the greatest person ever. That's it.
Carl
And you will be the next badass.
Eleanor
Zak, you and Rosemary have both lost your privileges for the week.
[''Comes in and turns off TV'']
Zak
Oh, I really don't care.
Eleanor
Oh.
Carl
I got the solution for that. Move Rosemary in her with him and I. I can keep an eye on both of them.
Eleanor
Oh! That'd be great. I'll set that right up.
Carl
Yeah, sure.
Eleanor
Zak, this is not a joke. That's twice. Two times that you've tried to run. And no I have to label you a flight risk. That sucks. Is that what you gave Rosemary to convince her to pretend be choking?
[''Holds up pictorial request paper to Zak'']
Zak
Yes, it is.
Eleanor
It's really creative.
Zak
Thank you.
Carl
Not just creative. It's genius. You know why? That's an advertisement for what he wants to do for the rest of his life!
Eleanor
Carl.
Zak
I don't know her. I am young, and I am not old. Carl is old. And we are different. And I don't know why I am here.
Eleanor
I wish I had a better option for you, Zak. But I don't. You don't have a family that can provide adequate supervision for you. I know. So that the state has to put you somewhere, and this just happens to be that place.
Carl
You been here two years?
Zak
Two and a half years.
Carl
We gotta fix that.
Eleanor
Just try to be good. Okay? Tell me you'll try.
Zak
Fine.

Ambitions and Fears in Unlikely Friendship
Tyler
I ain't the slightest bit scared of you.
Zak
I... I want to be... a professional... wrestler. And I am a bad guy.
Tyler
Why do you wanna be a bad guy?
Zak
Because my family left me.
Tyler
That don't make you a bad guy. Good guys get left too, Zak. Ain't no silly laugh, or wearing black, or eyed shadow and shit. Ain't nothing to do with that. It has to do with what's in here, in your heart. You got a good-guy heart. You can't do shit about it, that's just who you are. You're a hero.
Zak
I can't be a hero because I am a Down's syndrome.
Tyler
What's that got to do with your heart? Who told you that?
Zak
Coach. Teachers.
Tyler
Your coach? What'd your coach say?
Zak
I am retarded.
Tyler
Your coach said that? What a shitty coach. Your team ever win anything? No? Some shit you ain't never going to do. That's all right. You can't be everything. You ain't gonna be no professional basketball player. You ain't gonna dunk no basketball, or be an Olympic swimmer. You sink like a stone, because your all muscle. Muscle sinks. Today, you pulled me up out that water, you almost pulled my whole arm out the socket. Most grown folk I know ain't got that kind of strength. You're strong, Zak. Fuck your coach.

You know how to do pushups. Yeah? Let's go.
Zak
Oh, what do you want to do?
Tyler
We're gonna train.

About that far on the map.

Eleanor
I have ]. What?
[[w:M&M's|some M&M's]
Tyler
Don't do that.
Eleanor
Don't do what?
Tyler
Hey, I got an idea. Why don't we keep your training going? Just because we're on a raft doesn't mean we can't stop training, does it? All right, so we're going to do some breathing exercises. She's worried about your blood sugar. We're gonna breathe. Take a deep breath in. Out. Cool. Now, come over here and put your head underwater. I'm gonna time you.
Eleanor
What? No, no, no, don't do that. Zak.
Tyler
No. He can do that. He can do that. He can... there you go. You better stop calling him a retard.
[''To Eleanor'']
Eleanor
I have never called anyone a... that word.
Tyler
Okay. Hold on, listen. When people are saying he's a retard, really what they're saying is he can't do some shit they can do. See, you might not be saying the word "retard", all right, I'll give you that, but you damn sure is making him feel retarded. That ain't gonna help his life. Hey, there we go.
[''Zak resurfaces'']
Zak
Time. How long is that?
Tyler
Long.
Eleanor
Not long enough, Zak. Do it again.
Zak
Okay.
[''Puts head underwater'']
Eleanor
You have got some real nerve talking to me like that. Do you even know what I do? I've spent the last two years of my life volunteering to hold people's hands as they pass away. I talk to them, I feed them, I wipe their asses, I change their clothes, I put them to bed. And I'm the last person they see. Don't act like you know jack shit about me.
Tyler
All right.
[''Throws up both hands'']
Eleanor
Yeah, maybe he should not be in a retirement home, but I didn't choose that for him. But, that's what's happened and now I am doing the best I can.
Tyler
Oh! Oh! Hey! Oh, shit! Oh! God! Zak! Okay! Yeah! Lunch!
[''Zak resurfaces with a fish in hand with Tyler grabbing it''; ''Starts pounding fish's head on the platform'']

There's sheep in this world and there is wolves in this world. I may not have my eyes, but I know the difference. And I know that you two boys, fleece-wearing weary travellers who lost their way. Neither of you are wolves. You're just sheep who strayed from his flock. I'm donating the supplies from my junkyard for your pilgrimmage. Anything but that tin boat, y'all can have it because I figure it's my duty to get you back to your shepherd. Now, I can't have you boys running off of here with your hands all dirty and everything, because a wolf might hunt you down just by the smell of your past sins. And I wouldn't want no wolf to get ahold of you, because that'd be a frightful bloody mess. So, we gonna clean you up right... with a baptism.
Zak
What's a baptism?
Tyler
It's like swimming.
Jasper
Y'all boys come on down here and bathe in the warm waters of forgiveness.
Tyler
I'm more of "baptism by fire" type.
Jasper
Well, unfortunately, I don't perform those kinds of baptism.
Jasper
Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Nothing can touch you now, by the grace of the Lord.
Zak
Bye Jasper. Stay cool. Take care.
Voice over Jasper
Accept his blessing. Let all the wolves of your past be laid to rest.
Zak
Tyler, I am going to give you all my wishes for my birthday.
[''Puts his hand on Tyler's back'']
Tyler
