I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT

THAT YOU TOOK THAT.
THAT'S MY TOOL.

A HORRIBLE ATTITUDE,

A BREAK FROM YOU.
BUT WHAT DID YOU USE
THE FIRE STARTER FOR TODAY FOR?
I ACCIDENTALLY GRABBED IT
WHEN I GRABBED ROPE.

REALLY INCONSIDERATE
AND CRAZILY
NARCISSISTIC.
THAT I ACCIDENTALLY
TOOK THE FIRE STARTER?
I DON'T THINK YOU ACCIDENTALLY
DID IT AT ALL.
JAY, LOOK!

YOU TO TAKE THE FIRE STARTER.
BUT WITH THE WAY
THAT OUR RELATIONSHIP
OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT
HAS GONE OVER THE LAST 24 HOURS,
IT IS NOT
INCONCEIVABLE
THAT SOMEONE LIKE YOU
WOULD BE SABOTAGING.
IT WAS IN THE ROPE.
I REACHED UP, GRABBED THE ROPE
AND THE HOOKS,
AND PUT THEM
IN MY BAG QUIETLY.
YOU KNOW WHY I DID THAT?
YOU WERE ASLEEP.
NO, I WASN'T.
YOUR HEAD WAS DOWN.
YOU LOOKED ASLEEP.
DOESN'T MAKE
A DIFFERENCE.
IT DOES. I WAS TRYING
TO BE POLITE, SHANE.
YOU GOT TO JUST
LET THINGS SLIDE SOMETIMES.
I CAN'T LET SOMEONE
TAKING A TOOL FROM ME SLIDE.
OH, THAT'S [BLEEP]

LEAVE YOU.
YOU'RE MINIMIZING IT
AGAIN LIKE I --
YOU'RE DEVALUING EVERYTHING
I'M SAYING, AND THAT'S [BLEEP]
NO, YOU'RE MAXIMIZING!
I'M NOT MAXIMIZING ANYTHING.
YOU ARE MAXIMIZING.
I'M DISCUSSING THE FACT THAT
IT'S VERY TERRIFYING FOR ME.
THEY'RE RIDICULOUS.
THEY'RE LIKE A MARRIED COUPLE.
I'M FRUSTRATED
AT THIS MOMENT.
WE HAD SOME DIFFICULT
COMMUNICATION BREAKDOWNS,
BUT I'M HERE
TO SUPPORT YOU.
I WANT YOU
TO MAKE YOUR 40.
SHANE, I DID ACCIDENTALLY
TAKE THE FIRE STARTER.
I APOLOGIZE IF THAT CAUSED YOU
ANY UNDUE STRESS.
I ACCEPT
YOUR APOLOGY.

LET'S DO THIS.
ALL RIGHT, I'M SORRY.
ME, TOO. I'M SORRY.
AFRICA -- DIFFICULT.

I AM GONNA DO WHATEVER I CAN TO
GET THROUGH THESE 40 DAYS

-HEY, YOU GUYS.
-HEY.
WE HAVE BEEN POOR HOSTS.
YEAH, WE'RE
SORRY ABOUT THAT.
WHAT, ARE YOU GUYS
MARRIED?
AS YOU CAN PROBABLY SEE,
WE HAD A ROUGH 30 HOURS,

CLASHED DRASTICALLY.

JUST DROPPED IN.
-I'M REALLY NOT THAT WAY.

TAKING THE FIRE STARTER.

Gary: I THINK SHANE COULD HAVE
HANDLED IT DIFFERENTLY,
BUT AS SOON AS I HEARD
THE FIRE STARTER LEFT THE BOMA,
