Griner: Canoe trip? Lewis: That's right, a canoe trip. Griner: What the hell you wanna go fuck around with that river for? Lewis: Because it's there. Griner: It's there all right. You get in there and can't get out, you're gonna wish it wasn't.

Lewis: Machines are gonna fail and the system's gonna fail...then, survival. Who has the ability to survive? That's the game - survive. Ed: Well, the system's done all right by me. Lewis: Oh yeah. You gotta nice job, you gotta a nice house, a nice wife, a nice kid. Ed: You make that sound rather shitty, Lewis. Lewis: Why do you go on these trips with me, Ed? Ed: I like my life, Lewis. Lewis: Yeah, but why do you go on these trips with me? Ed: You know, sometimes I wonder about that.

Ed: [to Bobby] I'm glad we came here. Bobby: [offers Lewis a drink] Lewis? Ed: Lewis does not drink. Bobby: It's true Lewis, what you said. There's something in the woods and the water that we have lost in the city. Lewis: We didn't lose it. We sold it. Bobby: Well I'll say one thing for the system. System did produce the air mattress, or as is better known among we camping types, the instant broad. [The other three laugh and continue laughing.] And if you fellas will excuse me, I'm gonna go be mean to my air mattress. [He starts spraying bug spray on himself.] I do baptize thee, now in the name of modern technology - [Drew cheers.] How sweet. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. [He laughs. Lewis motions for them to be quiet, and they fall silent. Lewis goes into the woods and disappears.] Ed: Lewis? Bobby: Does he think he is Tarzan or what? Ed: He knows the woods though. He really does. He does. Drew: Not really. He learn 'em. He doesn't feel 'em. That's Lewis's problem. He wants to be one with nature
