John Lawrence: Brian

Quotes 

• Aron Ralston : [as Brian Stephenson]  Good morning, everyone! It is 7 o'clock here in Canyonlands, USA! And this morning on the boulder, we have a very special special guest, self-proclaimed American superhero, Aron Ralston! Let's hear it for Aron!

  [nods to his imaginary audience] 

  Aron Ralston : [as himself]  Hey. Hi. Oh, gosh, it's... It's a real pleasure to be here. Thank you. Thank you! Heh. Eh-heh. Em... Hey, can I say hi to my mom and dad?

  [as Stephenson] 

  Aron Ralston : Mom and Dad! Mustn't forget Mom and Dad. Right, Aron?

  [as himself] 

  Aron Ralston : Yeah, that's right. Eh... Hey, Mom. I'm really sorry I didn't answer the phone the other night. If I had, I would have told you where I was going, and then... Well, I probably wouldn't be here right now.

  [as Stephenson] 

  Aron Ralston : That's for sure! But like I always say... your supreme selfishness is our gain. Thank you, Aron. Anyone else you'd like to say hi to?

  [as himself] 

  Aron Ralston : Ehm... Well, Brion at work.

  Brian : Hi, Aron!

  Aron Ralston : [as himself]  Hey! Eh... I probably won't be making it into work today.

  [Stephenson-Aron and the audience laughs] 

  Aron Ralston : [as Stephenson]  Get a load of this guy! Oh, wait. Hold on... We've got a question coming in from another Aron in Loser Canyon, Utah! Aron asks...

  [as caller] 

  Aron Ralston : Am I right in thinking that even if Brion from work notifies the police, they'll put a 24-hour hold on it before they file a Missing Persons report? Which means you won't become officially missing until midday Wednesday, at the earliest?

  [as himself] 

  Aron Ralston : Yeah. You're right on the money there, Aron.

  [the audience laughs] 

  Aron Ralston : Which means, I'll probably be dead by then.

  [the audience laughs again] 

  Aron Ralston : [as Stephenson]  Aron from Loser Canyon, Utah. How do you know so much?

  [as caller] 

  Aron Ralston : Well, I'll tell you how I know so much. I volunteer for the rescue service. You see, I'm something of a... well, a big fucking hard hero.

  [the audience laughs] 

  Aron Ralston : And I can do everything on my own, you see?

  [as Stephenson] 

  Aron Ralston : I do see! Now... Is it true that despite, or maybe because you're a big fucking hard hero... you didn't tell anyone where you were going?

  [as himself] 

  Aron Ralston : Yeah. That's absolutely correct.

  [as Stephenson] 

  Aron Ralston : Anyone...?

  [as himself, shaking his head] 

  Aron Ralston : Anyone.

  [as Stephenson] 

  Aron Ralston : Oops...

  [the audience laughs] 

  Aron Ralston : [silently repeats]  Oops. Oops.
