"WOMAN:" "Our next guest, dubbed "The Rocky Mountain Rambo,"" "got tired of waiting himself, so he traveled to Pakistan." "WOMAN 2:" "How close did you actually get to bin Laden?" "MAN"." "Tonight with Gary Faulkner." "MAN 2: (laughs) This is Gary Faulkner." "Good luck." "WOMAN:" "Gary is an adventurer who set his sites" "on hunting Osama bin Laden." " MAN:" "Gary Faulkner made headlines for travelling to Pakistan to capture Osama bin Laden." "NARRATOR:" "Dateline 2004." "Land-- the lawless, tribal region of Pakistan." "Our story concerns Gary Faulkner, a part-time construction worker with bad kidneys and a full-time American patriot, who, after years of watching the United States fruitlessly hunt for Osama bin Laden, claimed he was visited by God" "and accepted a mission to find and capture bin Laden himself." "(man laughing)" "Armed with only a sword and knife," "Mr. Faulkner travelled to one of the most dangerous places on the planet to bring bin Laden to justice." "Here I come!" "As strange as it is compelling," "this is a true story, -(laughing) or a story that has truth in it, or maybe... elements of truth." "Gee, pretty boy, your time has come." "The G has arrived." "Like most stories, ours began long ago, when the hero was but a boy." "(birds singing)" "(dog barking)" "Take that, twerp." "Don't come around here anymore." "GOD"." "Hello, Gary." "What ails you, my child?" "Did those heathen brutes just burst your balloon?" "Children can be real pricks sometimes." "Gary, see that kid there?" "In a few years time, the guilt he accumulates from committing this kind of bullying will lead to him becoming a horrible crystal meth addict, and he's gonna die in a meth deal gone bad." "Shit happens, Gary." "Crying about it don't do any good." "But this, Gary-- this is your sword that" "I give onto thee, and as long as you behold it, you need never fear any man." "You are special." "I choose you to wield this sword, and as long as it's in your possession, you need never know fear again." "(phone ringing)" "(phone beeps)" " Hello?" "(over phone):" "Hey, Gary, it's Pickles." "Pickles, wow!" "What's up, man?" "Glad you called, I need a place to crash." "I've been crashing at the job site." "NARRATOR"." "Gary has been described as everything from a hero to a crackpot." "Dr. Jonathan Boudin of the Denver Clinic for Psychiatric Care told us that Gary, quote," ""does not suffer from psychosis, paranoia, or schizophrenia."" "Clinically speaking," "he's as sane as you or me." "(grunts)" "But you be the judge." "GARY:" "Worst part of having this bad kidney, getting dialysis three times a week is they won't let me eat chicken wings." "Man, this country makes the best goddamn chicken wings in the world." "Now, I haven't seen the whole world," "I haven't tasted chicken wings in Africa, but I'd be willing to bet the right ball on a broke-dick dog that no place makes better wings than they do here." "Some other reasons America's the best country ever, fastest cars." "Now, some douche nugget pointed out that the Italians and the Germans make faster rides on account of their Ferraris, and their Mercedes." "Well, I'm talking about non-fascist automobiles." "Also, I'm pretty sure more people kick ass here than in any other country." "I mean, some people claim that you can't quantify kick-assedness." "Those are usually people who's asses have been recently kicked." "What is crazy?" "I mean, is crazy bad?" "Wasn't it crazy to believe all men were created equal?" "(fading):" "Wasn't it crazy to believe in life, liberty..." "NARRATOR:" "From the first moment," "Gary made clear that he would not fit with anyone's expectations." "And refused to believe he was destined for anything other than greatness." "As he continually told those around him," ""You have to think crazy, to accomplish crazy things."" "I don't know, but I once got a fortune cookie that said," ""In boldness, there is greatness,"" "and I believe that fortune cookie was correct." "I can't stand foreign beer." "Anybody that drinks foreign beer or foreign whiskey" "should be shot as a traitor." "(chuckling)" " Come on." "That's what we love about you, Gary, man." "It's hard to be down around you. -(Man chuckles)" " I got to piss." " Idiots!" "REPORTER (on TV):" "...reports that U.S. forces have been very close to capturing bin Laden, but that was about three years ago." "We intend, fully intend, to-to find him." "We don't know where Osama bin Laden, um, is." "Government clowns." "REPORTER:" "The hunt for bin Laden has been a cold well for a long time." "They're botching up the plan to get bin Laden!" "Look, I know I'm a Leo, but it's easier for a mouse to get into a castle than it is for a lion." "I'd go in there, and I'd boost that fucker" "right out from underneath their noses. -(chuckles)" "Hey, buddy." "You think you could do a better job over there?" "Is that what you're saying?" "Oh, you're a Marine." " I am a Marine." " Well, that's awesome." "Listen, I really appreciate what you boys are doing over there, and I understand the price of freedom, the sacrifice, but look, you've got your program, and I gof mine, that's all." "But l-let me buy you a drink." "What do you have?" "What are you gonna pay for that with?" "Your unemployment check?" "(chuckling):" "Oh." " Gary..." "Gary___ {Gary giggles)" "Just let it go." "(sighs)" "Quick contest, Semper fi." "Let's throw this knife across the room over to that dart board." "You get closest to the bull's-eye," "I'll buy everyone in this bar a drink, okay?" "I get closest, you buy me a drink and you apologize for being a dick." "(chuckles)" "Yeah, you're on." "(chuckles)" "(billiards clacking)" "(Marines chuckling)" " Pretty good." "(toilet flushing)" "Sometimes when people get close to the bull's-eye, they get a little cocky." "Sure hope that isn't gonna be your problem." "Yeah." "Knight the kings." " MARINE:" "Oh!" "(screams)" "Goddamn it, Gary, not again!" "NARRATOR:" "The blade missed most of Roy's tendons." "And, like the previous three times, he was soon back at the bar with little more than a bruised ego." "(chuckles)" "Why would you buy a showerhead from a country that doesn't take showers?" "(chuckles)" "Don't buy that toilet, that toilet was made in Africa." "Pygmies made that toilet and they take small shits." "Your turd, your potty, your poo, as it were, won't make it past the flusher." "Yoo-hoo." "No, seriously, why would you buy a faucet from a country in the midst of a drought?" "I don't know what you're putting up, but that ain't gonna hold it." "I want you to trust me because I'm probably the only person in this whole store that'll tell you the truth." "Now, if you need anything at all, you call me." "I'm Gary Faulkner, your go-to handyman." "Oh, what..." "Gary Faulkner." "Marci Mitchell." "Oh, my God!" "I cannot believe it!" "(squeals)" "(both laugh)" " You look great." "(gasps) You look great." "I had so many fantasies about you in high school." "I must've gone through about 100 boxes of Kleenex." "That is disgusting, but I'll take it." " Why would you..." "Because I always had a crush on you." "What've you been doing all these years?" "Oh, my life is boring." "Uh, you know..." "went in and out of community college," "Uh-huh." "And then, you know, now I work at The Olive Garden." "Olive Garden, that's a great restaurant." "Well, good." " I answer phones at a dentist office." "Uh-huh." " Calligraphy on the side." " Calligraphy?" "For wedding invitations, stuff like that." "Dating only idiots." "Uh, 'cause that-- those are the kinds of people" "that can spend time with me, with my schedule." "Uh-huh." " You know, losers that have nothing else to do." "Yeah." "Um..." "You remember my sister Carrie?" "Sure, yeah, she made you look like a girl scout." "Uh... well, she, she passed away." "And, uh, she OD'd in Colorado Springs, like, eight years ago." "Wow, that's-- I'm-I'm sorry, that's..." " She got really bad into drugs and, uh.." "I'm sorry." "(softly):" "Yeah." "Had a kid with her dealer 'cause that's a... kind of stupid decision you make, but, um..." "And what happened to the kid?" "I adopted her." " Oh." "Lizzie, she's my little pﬂncess." "She's, like... all I have in the world, so..." " Oh, that's awesome!" " Yeah." " I got to keep it together because of her." "Wow." " And, uh, it's why I'm working three jobs, that I..." "Yeah." "Hate." "Well, I'll drink to that." "Well, I don't do that anymore, so..." " No." "Shit!" " I don't do that." "(both chuckle)" " Only making good decisions." "Hey, listen, do you want to get an ice cream sundae with me tonight?" "Let's have ice cream." " Great." " Not tonight." " Okay." " I can't do it tonight." " But tomorrow night?" " Great." "We're gonna have ice cream, but you have to find me." "Listen, you still got that awesome tattoo?" "Yes!" "I'll find you." "They don't call me the psychic wizard for nothing." "(chuckles)" "REPORTER (on TV):" "In the past five years, it appears that Osama bin Laden and billions of American dollars have all but disappeared into the mountains of western Pakistan." "GARY:" "I'm serious, Pickles, we got to get on this immediately!" "No waiting, no hesitating!" "Got to get on this right fucking now!" "What the fuck is going on, man?" "Did you see that shit?" "No, I didn't see" " Gary, look, listen to me," "What?" "You got to stop with the noise, okay?" "We can't deal with it anymore, we can't sleep back there." "You've been here for three months." "You got to get a job, you got to get out of here, man." "W-What-- so?" "I'm sorry, okay?" "I'll quiet down." "What is it?" "I love you, but you got to get out of here, man." " Oh!" " You got to go." "You got to find a different couch to sleep on, okay?" " Come on." " I'm sorry, I'll, uh..." "Well, look, I'll... let me just, uh... if I can just finish tonight..." " Yeah, just..." "and I'll clean up." "Yeah, just stay here tonight, it's fine." "Thank you, buddy." "Okay." "She's trying to sleep, all right?" "Hey, you remember what tomorrow is, right?" " What?" " Dialysis." " Oh, right, yeah." " Dialysis, all right." "Yeah, I remember now." "Thanks, Pickles." "(loudly):" "So, tomorrow you're out." "NARRATOR:" "It is said that on a cold day in Valley Forge," "George Washington talked to God as young Americans died on the battlefield." "Abraham Lincoln talked to God daily." "But Gary did them one better." "(thunder rumbling)" "Hello, Gary." "Holy shit." "Yes, I take a holy shit every day." "God?" "Well, Gary, I have many names." "But God's kind of catchy, don't you think?" "But you're the one true God?" "Who created the universe?" "GOD'S VOICE:" "Yeah, more or less, but let's not dwell on that cosmic shit right now." "I've got a favor to ask you, Gary." "A favor?" "A tiny, little favor that I'd like you, Gary Faulkner, to do for me." "Of course." "(wheezy chuckle)" "I'm calling it a favor to be compassionate, and kind, and nice." "It's more like a command really." "You understand?" "I do." "GOD'S VOICE:" "Okay, cool." "I need you to go over to Pakistan and capture that son of a bitch Osama bin Laden for me." "DBL'?" "He's got to be taken down." "He pulled that 9/11 shit and fucked me right over." "Now he's got to pay the price." "No one else seems to be able to do it, Gary." "And my patience is getting wafer thin." "Capture bin Laden?" "Capture him, bring him back alive though." "Remember, thou shall not kill." "So we're good?" "You'll go to Pakistan and capture Osama bin Laden for me." "Perfect." "Oh, just so you know, Gary, this is probably it." "I've got no plans to ever speak to you again, but I am everywhere, you know?" "All knowing, all seeing." "Which, by the way, isn't as much fun as it's cracked up to be." "Wait." "What do you mean?" "WOMAN (over P.A.):" "Dr. Jones to ER." "Dr. Jones to ER." "(doorbell rings)" "Oh, my God." "How did you find me?" "I don't want to say I'm psychic, but if the shoe fits." "(both chuckle)" "Well, get in here." "(quietly):" "Oh, I want to introduce you to Lizzie." "She's got some challenges." "She doesn't talk." "(whispers):" "Oh, yeah." "(normal voice):" "Well, you know, everybody talks, but only the real smart ones don't use their mouths, right, Lizzie?" "(Marci chuckles)" " Oh, and you have got a killer smile." "Which can be used both as a friendly thing and also as a weapon, which I'm sure you're already aware of." "Nonetheless, it's great to finally meet you." "Lizzie... have you got a power animal?" "Like a spirit animal?" "Like a guide?" "I'll bet you do." "See, mine's the donkey." "Now, my dad used to call me a jackass when I was a kid." "And at first I thought it was an insult, and then I realized it's a compliment because jackasses are true, hardworking andloyaL" "Now, what's your power animal?" "(laughing)- Oh!" "'" "The seagull, good choice!" "(chuckles)" " Butterscotch or chocolate?" "I'm a butterscotch man myself, but I can go either way." "Just like to make sure everybody's happy with the sundaes and stuff." "Butterscotch, goddamn it!" "Looks like I'm having chocolate again." "And I think I remember you like the mint chocolate chip." "How the hell did you remember that?" "Mind like a steel trap." "(mimics explosion noise)" "MARCY." "You and Osama bin Laden?" "How does that work?" "What-what's your plan?" "Well, okay, you see, that right off the bat is a bit of a misnomer 'cause it's not my plan, it's God's plan." "I didn't make the rules, God did." "But the plan is" "I'm thinking about buying a boat and sailing to Pakistan..." ""Sailing to Pakistan?"" " Yeah, I was gonna... go to San Diego, buy a boat, sail to Pakistan, capture Osama bin Laden, bring him back to America forjustice and stuff." "That's the plan-- it's pretty simple when you think about it." "That's crazy." "Uaughs)" "Sometimes, things are so sane they are beyond our comprehension..." "Do you know anything about sailing?" "(laughing):" "Marci!" "You're so funny!" "The pirates did it, the Pilgrims did it, and they weren't even 21st century guys." "I'm a 21st century guy!" "Gary, boats are very expensive, right?" "Do you have that kind of money?" "I got a little tucked away." "You'd be surprised how much you can save when you don't pay your bills and you live on job sites." "Uh, things get particularly "traumaticals,"" "I can ask Dr. Ross, who's my kidney doctor, and he always has some money around to give to a worthy cause." "And I'm thinking about taking Roy and Pickles with me to Vegas to make a little extra cash for my trip." "(chuckles)" "You see, I'm doing this for people like you and Lizzie, to bring the fight into his backyard, to bring the fight to him, so he doesn't come into our backyard." "Well, walk me through it." "What are you gonna do, just fight him and kill him?" "No, no, that would be too easy." "And I was told to capture him." "And I-l don't want to kill anyone, anyway." "I think I would just..." "kill him, on the spot, you know?" "I mean, not face-to-face," "I don't want to see him face-to-face, but from far away, definitely." "Yeah, well, if it comes down to that, then I'll drop a gun in front of him" "I'll drop a gun in front of me, and we'll draw, fair and square," "Old West style." "(Marci chuckles)" "Your ramp is a piece of shit." "MARCI:" "I know." "L-I can't afford to have it fixed right now, so..." "You and Lizzie... (sighs) you deserve better." "Good night, Gary." "Night." "(thumping)" " GARY:" "Yah!" "Eh-yah-eh!" "Cha!" "Eh-yah-eh!" "'Yah!" "What the fuck?" "You're awful pretty first thing in the morning." "I consider that a positive sign!" "Well, you look like shit." "And you got a sense of humor, 'cause I know that's not true." "ﬂaughs)" "Hey, listen." "These are my buddies," "Roy..." " Good morning." " Pickles..." " How are you?" "Two of the nicest dudes you'll ever meet." "I... thank you for what you're doing, but, you know, it's really early and Lizzie's still asleep, so..." "Now, listen, when we're finished, you're gonna have a brand-new ramp and it's gonna be the envy of every crippled kid in the neighborhood." "We don't say "cripple." She's challenged." "Oh." "You mean like us guys." "Uaughs) Yeah." "Um..." "Thank you." "How much... how much do I owe you for this?" "Marci Mitchell, not a dime." "That little girl deserves the best." "But it might just cost you a whole lot of love." "Well, um..." " I might be a little short this month." "Ooh." "See, now there's that smile again." "That smile is something" "I'm gonna be thinking a lot about while I'm sailing to Pakistan." "You are glowing," "Marci Mitchell." "You are radioactive." " You are my lucky charm." "(chuckles)" "FA"" "I'm telling you, it was God." "Like, Old Testament, New Testament Lord on high." "He came to my bedside in the free clinic and he told me to do this." "And I know you guys are skeptics." "Pickles, I know you're, like, quasi-Buddhist backslash Senecan stoic, but I'm telling you it was God, he spoke to me, and I gotta do this!" "Hey, man, we're not arguing." "We love Vegas." "Hey, Gary, we were wondering:" "what did God look like?" "About how you'd imagine." "Maybe a little younger." "That's weird, I always thought he would've looked like" "Phil Donahue or someone like that." "I always thought he'd be, like, a lion with, like, James Earl Jones' voice." "Mm, that's cool." "Hey, what did God say we should play?" "You play whatever you want." "This is God's house, it's like a church." "We can't lose." "(players cheering)" "MAN:" "Come on, red!" "Oh!" "(cheering)" " Go." " Let 'em come." "(shouting indistinctly)" " Qhl" "(Pickles whooping)" "Uh..." "I don't know, I think..." "I'm all right." "I'm all right right there." " No." "Gary, come on." "No, no, no." "No, no." "Don't do it." "Ch!" "Oh!" "You did it!" "He's my friend." "He is my friend." " And he is lucky." " Hey." "Are you smoking marijuana?" "No shit, Einstein." "You think I might be smoking some weed?" "Uh, you need to put that out right now or we're gonna call the cops." "Oh, you're gonna call the cops on The G." "All right." "Don't be a buzzkill." "Get out of my sight." "(bells dinging)" "(whooping, laughing)" "(exhales)" "Man, I been seeing you shitheads all night." "What the holy hell do you want?" "(Speaking Spanish)" "What do a bunch of Columbian drug lords care about Al-Qaeda anyway?" "Yeah, right." "This ain't my first rodeo, hombre." "And what if I don't?" "(shouts in Spanish)" "(grunting)" "GARY:" "Ow!" "Hey, man..." "Ow!" "Those Columbians stole all my money!" "Wait, wait, wait." "What Columbians?" "The drug ones!" "What are you talking about, man?" "You lost your money at the tables last night." "Yeah, man, you should've quit while were you ahead." " You fucked up." " No!" "You guys want to hit the breakfast buffet?" " PICKLES:" "Ah!" "(shouting)" "GARY"." "Nurse Taylor, how is Dr. Ross today?" "Is he feeling in a good mood?" "He's happy?" " Chipper?" " Oh, yeah." " Oh, good." "It's a golf day." "Yes." "Golf day, yes."

"Listen, uh..." "Nurse Taylor, is..." "Dr. Ross, is it okay if I just, uh," "talk with you in private for a minute?" "Absolutely." "Oh, thank you." " Excuse me." " Thank you." "I can't believe you're still alive." "Your blood work is amazing." "Thank you so..." "Well, it's because of you." "You and your care for me." "You've kept me afloat with my kidney problem, you helped me with my pre-dialysis hallucinations..." "The other thing I want to say to you, Dr. Ross-- in many ways, I feel like you're a brother to me." " Thank you." "I really care so much about you." "Because you care." "You're a good man." "You're a charitable man." "And you care about what's going on in our country." "So here's the thing:" "I've got a charity" "that I would like to maybe ask you to invest in." "Okay." " All right. -'Cause I know you take that stuff seriously." "I'm going to sail to Pakistan." "I'm gonna capture Osama bin Laden and bring him back to America forjustice and stuff," "'cause I think..." " I'm sorry, say that again?" "I'm gonna go get Osama bin Laden out of Pakistan and I want to keep you safe, I want to keep" "America safe and, frankly, I want to keep me safe." " What are you talking about?" " What I'm talking about is that l-l-l-I'm gonna buy a sailboat and I thought maybe-- 'cause my dance card is a little light-- that maybe you could loan me a thousand bucks, because I-l don't, it's a little light," "and I'll pay you back, $250 a week, and then we can take care of this Al-Qaeda issue together." " A sailboat." " Yeah, to go to Pakistan to capture, uh, bin Laden." "What do you really want the money for?" "(laughing)" "Are you in some kind of trouble?" "Oh... (laughing)" "I lied." " Yes." " I'm sorry." "That's a crazy story." "I mean, how can you sail a boat to Pakistan?" "I mean, if you stop dialysis, you're gonna start hallucinating." "No, uh..." "Uh, I..." "Oh, it's humiliating." "Dr. Ross... there's a girl I-l really love." "And, uh, I can't afford the engagement ring." "There's one for a thousand bucks, and I wanted to get her a diamond ring so that I could get engaged."

"Look at me." "Wrong." " I got dialysis problems." " Yeah, that's why" "I was wondering, how would you do dialysis if you were on a boat sailing to Pakistan?" " I couldn't do it." " You couldn't do it." "I wouldn't be able do it, man." "I'll go get my checkbook." " I'll be right back." " Yeah!" "Yeah!" "FA"" "Hey, man, I don't want to..." "I don't want to be that guy, but, um..." "I'm pretty sure you can't sail to Pakistan." "Yeah, well, they told George Washington the same thing." "They told George Washington he..." "I-I'm pretty sure they told George Washington he couldn't cut down a tree or something." "It's just a figure of speech." "Look, I'm just saying, dude, like, have you looked at a globe?" "It's kind of a long way to go..." "Ah." "...in a boat." " Ah." "Ah." "You know, you can do it, too, that-that's... you can..." "you can do a lot of stuff if you just kind of..."

" No." "Like the crabs and the oysters eat the fish shit?" " Yeah, yeah." "So these are eating, what, krill?" "Kelp?" "What?" "Yeah." "Like, fallity of the ocean stuff." " Ah, so fresh stuff, live stuff." "So..." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah." " Like, healthy stuff." " I could eat that, right?" "You could do, like, a soup or something?" " A broth, a bouillabaisse?" " Yeah." " Good eatin'." " So do I need to get..." "Maybe do you have, like, some scuba gear..." "(coughing) -...or, like, a snorkel and shit so I can get off the boat and scrape those off and then eat 'em while I'm sailing?" "'Cause it's a long trip." " Just grab some, like, goggles" "and a snorkel and you're good, man." "Okay." "Yeah, I got him." "Yeah." "Morning, sir!" " Hi." " How you doing today?" " Good." " Good!"

"(chuckling):" "I feel like I'm in high school." " Me too." "(chuckles)" "Can I kiss you?" "You..." "What a gentleman." "(chuckles)" "Yeah." "I barely even remember how to do this." "You want to go upstairs and try and remember?" "(on W):" "Remember Osama bin Laden?" "Public enemy number one, we got to get Osama bin Laden." "The fact that we can't find him is a big deal, folks, all right?" "He's tethered to a dialysis machine that he somehow drags around from recording session" "to recording session." "(audience laughs)" "You know, that-that's got to leave some sort of trail in sand, can't we track that down?" "(channel changes)" " Osama bin Laden." " You know where he is." " Definitely." "Because he dumped some woman." "Welcome to Books 'n Shit." "So you have a new book out." " Congratulations by the way." " Thank you." "Um, it's called The New Testament." " The New Testament." "The New Testament." "It's a sequel of sorts to the original, um..." " The Old Testament." "The Old Testament." "Um, is there a movie in the works?"

"I'm gonna hang glide into Pakistan." "Well, that sounds dangerous." "Huy-des!" "That's okay, everything about this mission is dangerous." "Do you even know how to hang glide?" " No, but I got a plan." " What plan?" "Israel." "I'm gonna go to a mountain in Israel and I'm gonna jump off." "If I fly, I fly into Pakistan." "If I crash, I crash into the Dead Sea, which is the deepest hypersaline lake in the world." "Yeah, they about 34% salinity over there and stuff." "Just about the saltiest body of water you'll ever see." "So everything, no matter how heavy, floats on it." "So, if I crash, I'll float, which is good because I-l don't know how to swim." " No, that's a terrible idea." " Marci, every good idea sounded terrible at first." "Think about it." "Binny boy won't be expecting it, that's the main thing." "You got to have the element of surprise." "And the other thing you got to add is... a sword!" "Chi-yag!" "You know what?" "I'm rude, look at me." "Hogging all the fun." "Come on, let me show you something." " Oh..." " Marci, come on." "Look at this." " Okay, turn around." " Okay." " Now, hold it in your hand." " Okay." "Feel the weight, respect it, respect it." "Now, I want you to just go down like that, okay?" "Mm-hmm." "Right." "Okay, now, when I toss it, you slice it, slice and dice it." "All right, so, let's do this." "Okay, here we go." "And..." "Afive, six, seven, eight." " Ah-ha, you did it!" "Yay!" "(screams)" "(claps)" " I see why you like this." "(tinny music playing)" " You work here?" " Yeah." "Okay, listen, I'm looking to buy a hang glider." " Okay." "'Cause I'm gonna hang glide" "from a mountain in Israel" " Okay." "To Pakistan, 'cause I got to capture Osama bin Laden and pull him right out of his cave." " That's quite the adventure." " That's right." " But I need a hang glider." " Well, the North Wing, uh," "she is a sweet, sweet bird, yeah." "I like that." "Sounds good." ""Sweet bird's" what I like." " Now, I was gonna take a boom box," "Okay." "Hang it, dangle it, from the hang glider." "Listen to music to inspire me, to motivate me for my mission." "What sort of music would you suggest would be the best music to hang glide to?" "Okay, well, I wouldn't hang a boom box from the wing 'cause you're gonna throw off your balance." "You got to spare me the physics lesson and just answer the question." "Okay, uh, so you're looking for some, like, pump-up," "inspirational, kind of..." " That's right." "Tom Petty?" "Stupidest thing I've ever heard." ""Qkay "Qkay?" "Now, listen, if I was gonna cut that up into pieces, 'cause I got to get it into my luggage to get it over to Israel." "How many pieces would I cut it into?" "Three?" "Four?" "Five?"

"You trying to get my killed by Al-Qaeda?" "Is that, is that what you want?" "No, I want you to realize that you cannot take a sword onto an airplane." "Can't." "If there weren't people like me doing things that people like you told us that we couldn't do, then nothing great would ever get done and America wouldn't be awesome." "And let me tell you something, lady, we may have our flaws, but America is awesome!" "You cannot carry the sword onto the plane." "Tell that to George Washington!" "GOD:" "Gary!" "Pack the sword." "Yes, my Lord." "You guys seem like a couple of nice kids." "Where you from?" "Are you from Israel?" "You're from one of the other, uh," "Middle Eastern, uh, countries, or Pakistan, or, uh, Tunisia?" "All right, well, I'm gonna..." "I'm gonna start running now." "I'm gonna pick it up, and I'm gonna run." "Okay?" "You got to get out so I can run." "(grunts)" "Let's go." "Go, go, go!" "Ha-ha!"

"Well, you know," "Lizzie and I love having you here, so..." "Would you look at me?" "I'm as crippled as Lizzie is." "Well, I mean, she's a... ten-year-old girl with cerebral palsy, and you are a grown man who jumped off a cliff on purpose." " I retract my previous statement." "Yeah." "Where is she anyway?" "You know, I got a present for her." "Oh, she's at physical therapy." "I'm gonna go get her in an hour." "Okay, well, listen, check this out." "You can buy the shit out of these things in Israel." "That's water from the fucking Jordan river." "That's the fucking river where fucking Jesus was baptized." "She's gonna love this." "Yeah." "That was so thoughtful." "Thank you." "(chuckles)" "I got you something too." "Yeah, look how beautiful that is." "(Gary chuckles)" ""Israel rocks."" " Yeah." " Yeah, it does." "(chuckles)" "God, Gary, thanks." "Why did I sit there and let you take that glider apart?" " The hang glider?" " Yeah." "That was a lemon." "Hey." "Do you want to get behind some hedges and, uh, you know, show me your tattoo again?" "Uh-huh?" "(chuckling):" "Uh-huh?" "You are a little horn dog." " Even all banged up like this." " Yeah." "I don't know, it ain'tjust animal lust, of which I have plenty, as you can well attest." "Sometimes I think I need a vet." "No, I find that, uh..." "I actually love you quite a bit." "I love you too, Gary." "But you're on a mission from God." "So where does that leave me?" "Well, you'll have to take that up with him directly." "I haven't even made it to Pakistan yet," "I got to get over there as soon as I'm healed." "I'm gonna go in." "Do you want a water or something?" "No, I'm all right." "Wait, wait, wait, wait, come on, hold-hold on a second, hold on a second." "What if I didn't go?" "What if I just... stuck around here and helped out, you know?" "I'm a pretty good handyman." "I could help out around the house." "Yeah." "I'd love that, you know?" "But if you really feel like you're on a mission, and I tell you to stay here, you're gonna hate me." "I..." "I couldn't handle that, so..." "You think about it, and, um... and, uh, we'll talk later." "(Marci sighs)" "GARY:" "I just want to enjoy my life a little bit." "I want to spend some time, a domestic kind of, uh, lifestyle, with Marci and Lizzie, you know." " Good for you, Gary." " Yeah." "Yeah, that-that Pakistan shit, the whole Osama thing" "is pretty crazy." "(Gary sighs)" "Maybe so, but crazy is my last name." "Isn't it crazy is my middle name?" "Yeah." "My middle name is Brooks." "(chuckles) It's that old Gary." " All right." " Well, that's the truth." "Okay, we got to jet, we got a movie." " Yeah, you should come with us." " Yeah, no, I'm gonna stay here and, uh, finish my beer, and then, uh, maybe just go back to Marci's house and enjoy my, uh, my humble little domestic lifestyle." " All right." " I'll take care of this guys." " Don't worry about that." "Yeah." " Really?" "Really?" " All right, see you later." " All right, bye." "All right, see you later." "REPORTER (on TV):" "...in Afghaninstan" "with his latest findings." " Bye." "Since the battle of Tora Bora in December of 2001, there has been no actionable intelligence about where bin Laden is."

" Chaos!" " Chaos." "I mean, we've got chaos already, but we'd be talking about a much worse form of chaos." "Godless chaos." "Who said anything about quitting?" "What you don't seem to appreciate Gary, is the notion of omniscience." "That means I know everything, so I know you're thinking about Marci." "I know you're thinking about domesticity and settling down and how cute that will be." "And it really bugs me when men let woman-shit get in the way of man-business." "There's two words you need to consider:" ""God" and "America."" "That's what this is about." "Okay?" "So what part of "I am everything,"" ""I know everything," do you not understand?" "Uh, uh, if you know everything, then why don't you tell me where to find Binny boy?" "I can tell you Pakistan, and you can't even get there." "Now you're thinking about quitting." "You're a disappointment to me, Gary." "(crying):" "I've been waiting for you to help me." "Gary, shut the fuck up." "This is a holy quest." "Holy quests are challenging."

"Marci-- "I don't remember meeting some twinkle-eyed, goofy, cute 911%"" "I will eliminate you from history, all traces of you." "Okay?"

"I took my eyes off the prize, and he saw it." "What prize?" "Who are you talking about?" "I gotta..." "I gotta..." "get to Pakistan." "Pakistan?" "What... what are you talking about" " Pakistan?" "I thought you were done with all that nonsense." "What about moving in here with me?" "What about fixing the ramp?" "I have a more important job to do." "You know what?" "I need my four hours of sleep tonight." "I've got to work two of my three jobs tomorrow, so I'm going to bed alone." "(drill whirring)" "What do you think?" "It's great." "I told you I'd finish it."

"God told me to do it." "He didn't think I was being urgent enough about it." "Thought I was giving in to temptation again, which has been one of my problems." "Kept me from achieving certain things and stuff, but I'm gonna tell you what." "God kicked the ever-loving shit out of me." "So, now here I am, back on mission."

"Well, America's very good." "America's the best goddamn country in the world." "And I say that putting my personal bias and national pride aside because we don't have no Al-Qaeda holing up in the States." "Al-Qaeda here in Pakistan, very bad." "Yeah, very bad."
