Quotes 

• Josh Lin : Tag, I want you to meet my cousin Natalie. And Natalie, I want you to meet my old friend Tag.

  Tag : You two are cousins?

  Natalie Bauer : Yeah. Uh. We... Well...

  Josh Lin : From my stepmom's side, so that would technically make us step-cousins.

  Tag : Oh.

  Natalie Bauer : A distinction that only really matters if you're from Alabama.

  Josh Lin : [laughs]  She's such a joker.

  [Natalie laughs] 

  Tag : Yeah. Walden?

  Natalie Bauer : Oh.

  Tag : That's my favorite book. I reread it every year.

  Natalie Bauer : Really?

  Tag : Yeah.

  Natalie Bauer : Wow.

  Tag : No way!

  Tag : [chuckles]  Yeah. Isn't Thoreau the best?

  Natalie Bauer : Well, some people find him a self-obsessed narcissist, fanatical about self-control, not to mention a total hypocrite, but personally, I find him so inspiring.

  Tag : "Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."

  [sighs] 

  Tag : I'm sorry. It gets me every time.

  [chuckles] 

  Natalie Bauer : If anyone gets it, it's me.

  Tag : God. Have we met before? Because you look so familiar. I... I just can't put my finger on it.

  Josh Lin : Unlikely. Natalie just flew in from California this morning.

  Natalie Bauer : This morning.

  Tag : I actually teach a survival course in Yosemite every summer.

  Natalie Bauer : Savage!

  [clears throat] 

  Tag : I guess you could say that, yeah.

  Natalie Bauer : I love Yosemite. It's, uh, I mean, there's some gnar-like, gnarly climbing there.

  Tag : You climb?

  Natalie Bauer : Me?

  [scoffs] 

  Natalie Bauer : Do I climb? I'll climb anything that moves. I'm an aggro.

  Tag : Aggro?

  Josh Lin : Yeah, like aggressive. Aggro.

  [growls] 

  Natalie Bauer : An aggressive climber. I climb all kinds of things like ladders, um, houses, um, trees, ladders... Mostly ladders.

  [chuckles] 

  Tag : That's cool. Um, a few of us are climbing at Rock Ventures tomorrow. Wanna join?

  Josh Lin : Hell yeah! Let's do it.

  Tag : Great.

  Natalie Bauer : Mm-hmm.

  Tag : 10:00 a.m.?

  Natalie Bauer : Perfect.

  Tag : Um. Well, hey, it was nice to meet you, Natalie. I'll see you guys at 10:00 a.m.

  Josh Lin : See you, bro.

  Natalie Bauer : Climb you later!

  [chuckles]
