WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE

1: What have you got to lose?
2: You're kidding, right?
1: No.
2: Jumping into a river from like a hundred feet above and what do I have to lose? How about my life?
1: Don't be so melodramatic. It's like — fifty feet.
2: Oh, I'm sorry if I take my life too seriously.
1: You're not going to get hurt.
2: You don't know that.
1: Alright, I promise you you're not going to get hurt.
2: That doesn't make it better! You've never seen this river before! You've never been here.
1: I don't know that.
2: You have never --
1: We're lost. I could have been here before but just don't remember.
2: Give me a fucking break.
1: It's the quickest way down. We're lost. It's getting dark.
2: It's one thirty.
1: It's hot. We're going to get dehydrated.
2: That doesn't mean we have to jump into a river.
1: I think we need to be down there. This could save us a lot of time. I don't see any other way down.
2: Being down there with two broken legs, cracked ribs and a probable concussion isn't going to help.
1: You're so negative.
2: Right. Great. Fuck you.
1: What?
2: This isn't about this.
1: What is this about?
2: I really don't think you're in a position to attack me for being cautious.
1: I don't know what you're talking about.
2: Fine. Whatever. But you are just as much to blame for what happened with dad as I am.
1: Everything is — everything for you, isn't it? Could you just shut down the ego for a minute, and deal with the problem —
2: Right.
1: — at hand?
2: Let's go. Let's go. We're walking. Let's go.
1: What if I jump?
2: Don't.
1: What if I jump and I'm fine? Will you jump?
2: No.
1: Really?
2: Don't do it.
1: Someone's got to.
2: You jump and get seriously hurt then I have to take care of you. Just like —
1: Like what?
2: Let's go.
1: I'm not going to get hurt.
2: Right.
1: This is what I mean about being negative.
2: Do you know what is generally on the bottom of mountain rivers? Large fucking rocks.
1: It looks slow. That means it's deep, doesn't it?
2: Don't. Seriously man, I mean it. Fucking don't — DON'T! ASSHOLE!
[1 has jumped. pause]
2: Are you alright?
[pause]
2: Jesus. Thank god. [shouting off:] Yeahyeahyeah, you're a fucking genius!
[beat. paces]
2: You'll be fine. It's deep. It's totally deep. He was right. Shit. He was right. He was fucking right. That asshole. Shit. Shit. Shit. This is all his fucking fault in the first place. The only reason we're out here is his stupid fucking motherfucking ASSHOLE! SHIT!
[beat. he runs off and jumps]
