[after seeing the vines nearly choke Mathias to death - which was planned by the vines to happen regardless of the group's help]
Eric : [sarcastic / deadpan] Well, thank God we cut his legs off.
-
Jeff : How about you? Are you here by yourself?
Mathias : Mm-mm, no, with my brother, but he, uh, left with some girl, ja.
Jeff : Left... here? Mexico, or...
Mathias : Ah, no, no. She's an archaeologist. He went with her to a dig site.
Amy : And what are they digging?
Jeff : Like an excavation?
Mathias : Yeah, some ruins, I think. A Mayan temple.
Jeff : Kind of like the ones that nobody here wanted to go to, the entire time that we've been here.
Mathias : Apparently, it is not even in the guide books. VIP only.
Eric : Yeah, see, Jeff, that's something I would do.
-
[upon seeing a drunken Amy dancing with Mathias]
Eric : How much you want to bet she kisses him?
Stacy : She's freaking out that Jeff's med school is like two thousand miles away, okay?
Eric : Okay, how much?
Stacy : She's not going to kiss him.
Eric : Alright, you know what? Oral sex, the winner receives.
Stacy : [shaking his hand] Oral sex? Okay.
-
Jeff : [grabbing a water bottle from Stacy] We should save this.
Eric : Hey, she's thirsty.
Jeff : I know, it's just that we don't have that much.
Eric : Well why do you get to decide Jeff?
Jeff : Okay, well we can all decide. But just keep in mind that each of us needs a half a gallon of water every day just to survive. And right now, we don't even have a day's worth.
-
Jeff : He won't last much longer like this. We have to cut 'em off.
Amy : Cut what off?
Jeff : His legs.
Eric : Tell me you're joking.
Jeff : He'll die if we don't.
Eric : Please tell me you're joking.
Jeff : He'll get infected, if he isn't already. Septicemia.
Eric : Well, what the hell is septicemia, Jeff?
Jeff : An infection, usually in the bones when it's exposed to bacteria.
Eric : You're fucking crazy.
Jeff : I'm telling you he won't last through the day like this.
Amy : Without anesthesia?
Jeff : He has no feeling beneath his waist. The tourniquets are already in place. We gotta cut below them.
Amy : With what?
[Jeff pulls out a knife]
Amy : A knife?
Jeff : We have to break the bones first, and then cut.
Eric : We're not cutting his legs off with a fucking hunting knife, Jeff!
Jeff : There's no flesh covering his bones, Eric. He is going to die.
-
Amy : [after the taxi leaves] Wait, how are we going to get back?
Jeff : [holding business card] Well, we're going to call him when we get out.
Amy : With what? We're not going to get a signal out here.
Mathias : Yeah, my phone should work. It's a world phone.
Eric : [holding his cell phone] Hello, can you hear me now?
-
Eric : So, there was this girl who got really really drunk one night...
Stacy : ...but she sobered up really really quickly...
Mathias : Who is this?
Amy : Just a stupid game they were playing last night.
Eric : ...but not before she stuck her tongue down some guy's throat.
[Amy knocks Eric's hat off]
-
Jeff : [seeing the Mayans on the ground] They keep coming. They're setting up camps.
Stacy : Why are they doing this?
Eric : Maybe they're preparing for something, like a sacrifice?
Jeff : It has something to do with the ruins. They won't come up here, and now that we're here they won't let us leave.
Eric : So what do we do? Just wait for someone to find us?
Stacy : Who?
Mathias : The Greeks?
Jeff : Dimitri left them a copy of the map before we left.
Eric : Yeah, what if they decide not to come Jeff?
Jeff : Then somebody else will. We're supposed to check out of the hotel tomorrow; the hotel's going to call the police.
Eric : When?
Jeff : Tomorrow, or the day after.
Amy : Our flight leaves tomorrow, Jeff.
Jeff : I know Amy, but we know what happens if we leave.
