There is happiness in untouched forests;
There is excitement on a quiet beach;
There are civilizations, where there are no bullies,
In the depths of the ocean and the noise of music;
I don't love humans more, but love nature more...
ma'am!
Mother! Help me.
What's wrong?
I'm not dreaming, Walt. I don't imagine it.
I heard that. I heard Chris.
I heard that! / I know.
No. I don't imagine it, Walt.
No, really. He... He...
I heard his voice! / Billie.
WAYNE. Greetings from Fairbanks!
Arrived here 2 days ago.
It is very difficult to get a ride in the Yukon region,
But finally I arrived here.
Buy a new book at a local bookstore regarding flora and fauna.
I prepared and bought stock to leave civilization for several months.
It might take very long before I return to the South.
Just want you to know, you're a great guy.
Only until here can I take you.
Alright. thanks.
You left your item on my keyboard. / Save it.
Have a nice trip.
Thank you once again.
Hey, wait a minute.
Take this. This will keep your feet dry.
If you come back safely, call me. The number is in the shoe.
Thank you.
I'm now running
REALIZING WITH NATURE
Hello?
Are there people here?
I don't think so!
Two years he walked the earth.
No telephone, no pool, without pets,
without cigarettes.
Final freedom.
An extremist. A Nomad...
... whose house is street.
"Hey, listen, old man. Don't try to analyze my psyche, huh? " Shut up. I'll take you to my destination. "
" Where do you want to go? "
" I told you. We won't go anywhere! "
Now, after 2 years of wandering and experiencing a great adventure.
Endless struggle to kill...
... falsehood in it...
.... and the closing of the spiritual revolution well.
No longer poisoned by civilization, he ran away,
... and walked alone along the land so that...
... lost in the wild.
ALEXANDER SUPERTRAMP. May, 1992.
University of Emory, Atlanta, Ga. 2 years before the "Magic" bus...
... hard work and diverse contributions for our university as long as they are here,
we pay homage to and give you all
applause once again merry and congratulations.
Nina Lynn Lockwynn.
Vanessa Denise Lowery.
Christopher Johnson McCandless.
Regina Victoria McNabb.
I saw them standing at the gate on their campus.
I see my father walking under an old yellow sandstone arch,
red tiles sparkle like pictures blood that curves behind his head.
I saw my mother with a few thin books on her waist,
standing near a fence made of brick with an iron gate
still open behind it, with a thin black pointed tip.
They will finish.
They will get married. They are immature. They are stupid.
What they know is that they are still innocent, they won't hurt anyone.
I want to go there and say, "Stop it, don't do it. " She's an inappropriate woman, she's not a good man.
"You will do something that you cannot imagine will be done.
" You will do something bad for children.
"You will suffer with a way you have never heard. " You will want to die. "
I want to meet them there at the end of May and say it.
But I didn't do it. I want to live. I bring them like dolls paper men and women, and unite them...
... above the waist like a scratch, like there is a flash of fire from them. I said,
" Do what you want to do and I'll tell you that. "
They arrived, Walt. Okay?
Who wrote it?
It could be one of us, right?
Why did he let Carine drive the car?
There is good poetry here.
I have to talk to him about that.
Sit down.
Excuse me. I want to welcome my son.
He just graduated today from Emory University.
just me.
Chris, hi! We were waiting for you.
You make Mother scared to death when you jump on stage like that.
Hi, Daddy. / Congratulations, kid.
This is a big step. / Thank you, Father.
Alright.
You shouldn't drive in Georgia.
Why? I have a SIM.
Because it violates the law for students getting SIM...
... to drive in the country other parts. That's the reason.
I don't know that. I think I've been driving so it doesn't matter.
Alright, come on...
Will they continue to make noise? / No.
I think everyone celebrates it today.
They will still sit in the bar, right? / Right.
My grades are pretty good, I think I can be a Harvard law major.
Chris, that's good.
That is very important.
How much of your tuition is left?
Precisely $ 24,500.68.
Very detailed.
I have to go to the bank this morning, ma'am.
Mother and Father will be very happy to help you enter Harvard.
Right.
I want to see what I can do.
There are a lot of items that I have to pack and I set first.
Mom and Dad, we want to give you a present.
We want to get you out of the junk.
What wreckage?
that.
We want to buy you a new car. / Right.
New car?
Why do I need a new car?
Datsun is still good.
Do you think I need a luxury car?
Are you nervous about what the neighbors will think about?
We don't want to buy you the latest Cadillac car, Chris.
We just want to give you a new car that is decent and safe to drive.
And you will never know when the car can strike.
Strike. Strike? Are you crazy? That's a great car.
I don't need a new car.
I don't need anything. / Alright.
That thing, that, that, that. / Okay.
Everything must be difficult. / Thank you.
Thank you. / Maybe that's not what it meant.
Maybe he just wants his old car. That's not a big problem.
Thank you. I don't want anything.
Chris measures himself and whatever is around him...
... with a hard moral evaluation.
Dah, Chris!
He took a risk with his loneliness...
... but found a friend in the character in the book he likes...
... from writers like Tolstoy, Jack London and Thoreau.
He can gather quotes of their words in the right time,
and he often does it.
I forgot to ask what quote he chose at his graduation dinner,
but I know who the target person is he wants to convey.
Inevitably Chris will leave.
And when he did, he did with the characteristics of impropriety.
Chapter 1: MY BIRTH
"There is no denying that you are free to go wherever you are always pleasing to us.
" Already connected with our thoughts away by distancing ourselves
"from history, pressure, law and annoying obligations.
" Essential freedom.
"And the road always goes west."
Lake Mead, Arizona July 1990
I need a name.
At the end of June,
Emory sent our parents, Chris's final score report.
Almost everything is A.
A in Apartheid in South Africa.
A-minus in Contemporary Politics Africa and the Food Crisis in Africa.
And so on. My brother, a smart kid.
But at the end of July, we didn't hear anything from him...
and my parents began to get nervous.
Chris doesn't have a telephone,
so they intend to visit it to Atlanta and give a surprise.
When they arrived at his apartment, was written "rented"...
and the manager said Chris has moved at the end of May.
Oh, yes. He left two months ago.
So when they go home,
the thing that made Chris separate himself from his true life.
Hey!
Hey. Come on up. Okay, fine.
We hardly saw you there under the hat.
The door is a bit stuck. Okay, go up.
This is Rainey.
Hi, Rainey. Yes, I'm Rainey.
I'm Jan./ Hi. I'm Alex.
Alex with his hat.
Yes.
So you're "Leather Tramp".
Leather?
Yes, Leather Tramp. The term for people who are on foot.
We own "Rubber Tramps".
Because we traveled with vehicles.
You don't need to avoid me. / Come on, please?
Yes, Alex also has a vehicle, but he left and burned all his money.
And why did you do that?
I don't need money. Money makes people careful.
Come on, Alex. You must be a little careful.
I mean, your book is good and expensive,
but you can't just depend on leaves and berries.
I don't know if you want to be more dependent than that.
Where is your mother and father?
Live their lives somewhere.
You seem to be their favorite child. Take it to them.
Fair?
You know what I mean.
I will quote Thoreau's statement.
"More than love, money, beliefs,
" fame and justice,
"give me the truth."
From the past, Chris and I still can remember,
there is always a fight in our house every day.
The forced violence must be witnessed. That is so real.
But it's also like a play.
They made us as judges and defendants.
And I bring a souvenir that is expensive for you.
Daddy was a genius youngster...
... NASA employed to do design of the American satellite radar system...
but the fight and that meeting never stopped.
Not long before Chris and I started to shut up.
We said "Please. " Get Well. "
Gosh. If I turn on the fire you can eat night and warm yourself together. Where did Jan go?
Yes, friend,
everything isn't going well in hippie's life. You're a nimble kid, huh?
Little.
It's funny how things happen at certain times.
I love women bro. But, you know, he has a past.
We went through this, without discussing it.
So when we saw you yesterday,
the thing we've been going through so far is not discussing it,
he started talking about it. Do you understand what I mean?
I think huh. What do you think?
Some people feel that is not entitled to love.
They walk slowly along the void,
trying to cover up the past gap.
Your words once. Jesus!
You're not Jesus, right? / Look who's talking.
You will be there, take him to take a shower and bring him back for me, bro?
No. I'm afraid of water.
From the beginning.
Sometimes we still have to pass it, huh? So I will take him to swim...
... as long as you want to bring firewood to the camp.
Alright./ Yes?
I'll take it. / Alright.
"The ocean has a blow a hard wave,
" and sometimes, it feels so strong.
"I don't know much about the ocean,
" but I know about the ocean here.
"And I also know how important in life...
... not to be strong, but to feel strong,
to measure ability yourself at least once,
to know the taste are in the most ancient things of human history,
face blindness and deafness yourself...
... without anything that helps you except your hands and your own head. "
There is a big wave coming!
Rainey, I'm cold!
Can you hug me?
Navy level and leave the base is there,
and what is left is only a large network of concrete slabs.
You will like Slabs./ You will like it. If you are still on the road. / You will like it.
Just stay under the roof of the sun. Can not be defeated.
Sounds good.
If you come, I'll make a hat for you.
Promise? / Oath.
Oh, honey. Dear.
Stop it. Please wait.
Oh, yeah. Okay.
Let me turn off the lights.
He reminds me of... / I know.
Chapter 2: YOUTH TIME
You are so delicious. You are like...
... 100,000 times better than many apples I've eaten.
I'm not Superman, I'm Supertramp (super wanderer).
You're a super apple.
You are so delicious. You are so organic, so natural.
You are my apple.
In early September, Mother and Father received a telephone call from the Annandale Police Department...
... notifying Chris of the car that has been abandoned...
... which was identified by Arizona Highway Patrol Police.
A group of rare flower hunters found it in the desert.
There are no signs that Chris intends to return there.
But there is also not much evidence resistance efforts.
The police suspect Chris accidentally left the car...
... and nobody took the car from him.
That guess made Mother and Father sure...
... and realized that Chris was indeed trying not to be found.
Magic Bus Week 3
Strong.
You can do anything. You can go anywhere.
Money, strength is an illusion. It's here.
You can here.
You and me.
One, two. No, no.
Two,
three...
Don't be shy. Bring it there. Good.
Your speed is enough here. / Good.
If it's too fast, you won't get all the wheat.
I see, just straight, a little more straight.
Do you understand how? A little more straight. Now you can.
Wow, look at the view!
But focus your eyes on the wheat. Make sure you cut it.
How many can you see here, okay?
How do you feel? / It feels good.
Okay, just stay straight. God bless.
Make sure you earn a lot, friend. Later, meet me again.
OK.
Wayne. Where are you going?
Kevin, you know I love you. I am kidding. Stop it!
I'm kidding. Just bother your business, Wayne!
Why are you so angry? / I don't know.
You and I are on the same side. We are on the same side.
I'm just tired of being teased. / Kevin, we're on the same side.
Bring me... If I want a vagina, bring me that.
He's serious about this. / Let's just play cards.
Can we just play cards? / Alright.
Without a watch, without maps, without axes, without anything.
Just want to go there. Just want to be there.
There are big mountains, rivers, skies, games.
Want to be out there. In the wild.
In the wild. / Wild.
Yes. / Only...
What will you do when you arrive there?
In the wild, what are you doing?
Live a life.
You lived there, then, in a special place and time.
Yes.
Maybe when I come back, I can write a book about my trip.
Why not?
You know, about getting out of this crazy life of civilization.
Society! / Society!
Society, man! _ Society!
Society! / Society!
Society, you know? Society!
Because you know what I don't understand?
I don't understand why people, why is everyone...
... often behaves badly towards other people.
That doesn't make sense. Decision. Control. All that, political views.
That's really... / What "people" are we talking about?
You know, parents, hypocrites,
politicians, criminals.
This is a mistake.
An entry error is too in to such things.
Alex, you are still very young, is still very young.
But I promised you this.
You're young! You can't often play blood and fire!
You're kind of... / Wayne, what are you talking about?
What? / I mean...
I'm talking about blood and fire.
We talked about trying to play blood and fire.
Who is entitled to give advice to everyone?
Who gives advice to everyone?
Yes. / Nice to meet you.
My name is Mr. Happy. / Mr. Happy.
And Mr. Happy sometimes gives advice.
Alex, please. / I'm sorry.
Sometimes, Mr. Happy... Happy is always happy.
But do you know when is he happiest?
He is not always happy. / When is he happy?
Will you tell me? Come on, say it.
I will say that to you.
Now... / Sit before you _ hurt yourself.
One thing you have to try you focus on is...
... on what happened in the late 1940s at Roswell.
When research on tax data revealed that...
Chris has donated all his savings,
Mom and Dad then do what is called "mobilizing".
They hire private detectives and notify law enforcement,
to track its whereabouts.
I think he might be with the Jipsies, far from the eyes of the law.
This is free satellite TV.
You said it, Alex, is not me.
You will need something. What weapon do you have?
I might prefer A.22, A.22 caliber rifle.
Alright.
When you shoot animals, time is the most important thing.
The first thing you have to do is make sure...
... if the meat you get is good and has been skinned.
And you don't have much time to do it. Time is 1 or 2 hours.
Depends on the weather. Especially hot, your time is less than that.
All you have to do is make sure if the fly doesn't land on the meat.
Because once a fly flies, it takes out maggot larvae,
You know, little animals are terrible. If that happens, it's too late.
You caught me.
I remind Wayne about their little black box.
Mr. Westerberg, Scott Baker, FBI. I think you know why we are here.
An impressive presence. / Yes.
Can you help me close the zipper my pants? thanks.
Ayo./ Sorry.
We will close for a while.
Alex, come back and work for me whenever you want.
Gil will pay your salary. I won't be long.
Remember Alex, don't go to Alaska until spring. South, kid. You head south.
In the year Chris graduated from high school,
he bought a used Datsun and drove it away.
He left during the summer.
Come on. Neighbors will see, baby.
Can you spray it?
When I hear him go home, I run to his room and talk to him.
In California, he met with an old friend's family.
He just found out the story of his parents, about how they fell in love and got married...
... where lies cover the bitter truth.
When they meet, Dad is married.
And even after Chris was born,
Father has more children than his first wife, Marcia,
legal wife.
This fact suddenly made Chris and I an illegitimate child.
Father's pride makes it easy for him to forget the pain he caused.
And Mother, with shame being a mistress,
become a victim of dishonesty.
Fragility of a crystal is not weakness but its beauty.
My parents understand that beautiful glass crystals must be maintained...
... otherwise it will break.
But when dealing with my sister, they don't seem to know or care...
... if their secret relationship...
... bringing destruction that can separate them.
Their cheating marriage and father's denial of his other son...
... for Chris, a murder truth every day.
He feels his whole life has changed, like a river that suddenly turns around...
... the direction of the flow, flows up the hill.
The disclosure of the secret removes Chris's sense of identity.
They make their childhoods like fiction.
Chris never said if he knew...
... and asked me to remain silent.
I can't give 4. Who wants to pay for the four?
Bryan can't give 4. What's the problem?
Can I help you?
Yes. If I want to row to the river,
where is the best place to launch it?
Wait a minute.
"Launch it?" What is your level of experience?
Not much. / There? Do you have permission?
Permission? What is permission for?
You can't row in the river without permission.
If you want, you can submit permission here, get experience nce,
and I'll put you on the waiting list.
No, there are people here. We will agree later.
Is there a waiting list for rowing on the river?
Right.
Yes, this will be... / How long do I have to wait?
Yes, a minute.
The agreement between me and you...
... or between me, you and him.
Next available May 17, 2003.
Good. Alright, three of us.
12 years?
What? 12 years?
To be able to row on the river.
I'll call again later.
You can do it,
or you can join a commercial team, go with a licensed guide.
Maybe someone canceled in the last minute,
but it costs $ 2,000.
Thank you very much.
Use a helmet!
I'm Supertramp!
"If human life can be governed by thought,
then the possibility of life is destroyed."
Hello!
Hello.
Come here. Join us.
We have hot dogs.
I'm Mads./ Mads?
Mads. Hi. Mads.
Alex. / Hi, Alex.
Hey. I'm Sonja.
Hey, Alex.
We are from Copenhagen, and you are from a swift river.
Right.
You're crazy! You're crazy, man.
Sonja, get away from him. He is crazy !! Look, he's crazy.
I'll make you a hot dog. Just a moment.
I like this. Do you not like it?
You know, this is nature.
Where are you going?
I haven't decided yet. / Really?
We really like it here. And nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Really? / Yes.
Come on, come on!
He is sometimes a little slow.
This is the map. / But I like it.
This. Hoover Dam. / Okay.
About 330 kilometers, I think.
Miles? / Yes, miles, about 200 miles.
200 miles. / 200 miles. Yes.
I wonder if I can row...
... to get to the Gulf of California.
Yes, yes, you can. I will go with you.
I go with you. We leave Sonja here, then we ride like.
No, no. We go to Mexico.
Because in every man's heart, is a Mexican woman.
I have to go. Sorry. I have to go.
What's wrong? / Why?
The river patrol officer is chasing me. I really shouldn't be here.
You must have some kind of permission,
... yes government administration issues, but I don't have permission.
If anyone comes, patrol officer or anyone,
say you didn't see me, huh?
OK.
Okay, I'm sorry again. I wish I could stay.
Be careful.
Alright. Be careful, Mads./ Nice to meet you.
Dah, Alex./ If... I wish I could stay.
Give my greetings to Mexicans.
Dah, Alex!
A few more months in Christmas,
and the last news we heard was that the car had been found.
I woke up a few days ago, and for the first time, it made me restless...
... not only my parents who didn't hear from Chris.
honey?
This is me. I'm sorry, Everything that happened, it's my fault.
Give me another chance.
Please give... Come on. Give it to me.
Come on. Call him for extra money,
and I don't have it, so you can quickly lift it?
Come on, don't hang up the phone.
Hey, this is money.
Thank you.
There are new coins falling from the sky,
so I can talk to you again.
I have the money, come on... No, no!
I'm curious why he didn't try to call and maybe I picked up.
He can hang up if it's not me.
Why doesn't he want to send a letter through his friend?
I feel a little hurt,
but I tell myself it's okay.
He knows I love him even without knowing how he is.
And that makes me remember that is something more important than rebellion,
anger that was established.
Chris has always been an adventurer.
When he was 4 years old,
he went around 6 blocks away from home at 3:00 a.m.
He was found in a neighboring kitchen...
... climbed the chair, searched the drawer looking for candy.
Whatever drawer he has opened now there must be something sweet inside.
Hate to imagine men like you being locked up in prison.
This traveler is so easy with all the money you pay.
My days are more exciting when I don't have money.
I decided I would go through like this for a while.
This freedom and natural beauty is too beautiful to pass up...
Have you stayed in the cave for 36 days? / Yes, sir.
And how did you enter Mexico?
Passing through the Morelos dam valve.
The river dries quickly down there, huh?
Yes. Being a winding irrigation canal, thank you for the dam to the north.
So I put it like I did in the desert and I hitched a ride to Golfo.
But after a few weeks later, sandstorms came and flew kayaks.
So I walked back north. Now I'm here.
You may not cross to the border without identity.
Do you understand? / Yes, sir.
I eat a lot of sand to get me to town.
Alright. Sit here. I'm right back.
Someone asks, "Why act now? Why don't you wait?"
The answer is clear. The world can't wait anymore.
Hi. Do you have a clock?
Hours? / Hours?
Yes.
OK.
Front and back.
I don't have a small board, so ask another friend.
Next. / Hi.
How can I get an ID card?
You lost your identity card, sir? / Yes.
Didn't bring a birth certificate? No?
Alright. You have to take care of it with the DMV field.
You can meet them in the morning. The closest one is in Montebello,
and we can help you with bus tickets.
So just come here when you need the ticket.
Okay. / What's your name?
Alexander Supertramp./ What?
Alexander Supertramp./ Supertramp (super wanderer). Serious?
Yes.
Okay, I'll take care of your needs, Supertramp. I have something for you.
Take it, Supertramp./ Thank you very much.
OK.
And one more thing. / Yes.
Do you have a bed for me? Sorry...
and we will do anything...
... to avoid violations such as stowaways on this train.
Yes, sir.
Do you have an ID?
No, sir. / Of course you don't have.
This is the last time, friend.
Everything is OK.
Good boy!
Yes! That's what I'm talking about. Finally!
7th Week BIS MAGIC
Thank you very much.
In the letter sent Chris while still in college,
sadness and problems are obvious with Mother and Father continuing.
He says I'm the only person in the world...
There won't be a party. I will cancel Christmas this year.
Cancel Christmas? Who do you think you are? God?
Right. I am God!
You're not God. You can't cancel Christmas.
Bullshit!
10 more!
Alex, I don't mean anything. You are doing a good job.
I want you to keep working here and I'll help you to Alaska,
but you have to wear socks.
Almost a year after Chris disappeared,
my parents' anger, their despair,
their mistake which caused _ sadness.
And sadness seems like makes them closer.
Although their faces have changed.
He is sure that it is Chris,
if it's his son who is lost.
If it's his son who is lost.
And I think that's because is her motherhood.
Instinct for the threat of loss is so big...
... and irrevocably _ strong past rejection.
I began to wonder if I could understand what Chris said,
but I tried to remember that...
not with parents who have raised it,
but with someone who is weak when is forced to face a loss.
Still, everything Chris said must be revealed.
And I trust him that everything he does will end.
This is our life.
Big hurry. Very large.
Get it.
Damn it!
Stay away!
"Hey, Daddy, can I turn on the barbeque, this time, Daddy?"
"Son, you can take kerosene first."
"Come on, Daddy. Please?"
"Why not, Walt? That sounds good..."
"Shut up, Carine!
" No, Billie. I told you. Don't let me repeat it again. Okay?
"OK?
"Did you hear me? Did you hear me, woman?
" Did you hear me, woman? Did you hear? "
" Sorry. Sorry, Walt. Forgive me. "
Damn.
No! No! Damn it!
Damn it! Damn it! Fuck! " I obviously feel the presence of a group of -friendly animals.
"This is a place to do mystical worship and rituals,
" inhabited by humans close to large rocks...
"and wild animals."
Chapter 4: FAMILY
Sunni.
Hey, Sunni! Come here, honey.
No. Not!
December 18,1991 - 4 Months Before the Bus -
But now what I'm focusing on is only Alaska.
Yes. / Alaska.
Alright. Applause for Insane Cain!
We welcome stars Our Slab City, Tracy T!
Hey. My name is Tracy.
Tracy! / Yes!
Jack London is king.
Hey, will you stay long?
I'm waiting for a salary from my last job...
... and come to Salton City the day after Christmas.
I'm starting to think about getting ready to Alaska.
When the sun starts low tonight I start doing regular exercise.
After my salary is paid, I will try to find...
... a big mountain that I can climb every day until spring arrives.
I have to see how far this money can last.
I still have to get a lot of provisions to get before spring.
So, maybe I will look for another job or maybe just that.
We will give you a little money for the purposes herein re.
I won't accept money from you, Raineyey.
It's a fortune I met you both.
You guys seem to be getting better.
Our relationship is getting better. / Yes?
It's getting better.
By the way, isn't it best...
... did you introduce yourself to the daughter of Joni Mitchell who was there?
I...
Hi./ Hi.
Do you sell books?
Yes, both of us.
him too.
I like reading.
Really? / Yes.
That's good.
I saw you playing guitar and singing last night.
My voice is discordant. / No. You sing well.
Thank you.
I was going to go to the Hill of Salvation.
Do you want to come? / Okay.
Hi./ Hi. Alex.
I want to show you this place. I have been here since 1984, more or less.
Many tourists come here...
... and they saw the car door. They like it.
And I found the car door and I installed it there.
Where did you get the telephone pole?
Many people in the valley like me very much.
I guess everyone in the whole world likes me.
And I want to repay for their kindness.
And I wake this up. So I'm so excited.
You really believe in love.
Yes. Very.
This is a surprising love story everyone in the world.
If God really loves us.
Does it answer everything?
Yes. / Good.
I really like this place. I think the freedom of this place is so beautiful.
For me, I wouldn't move even though I was given $ 10 million, unless I was forced to.
So I like being in this desert and I live where I want to live.
And I think good can be better. And I think a big tank is there...
is the place for distribution for the Marines headquarters during World War II.
If you want, you can place your hand there.
And I will do it too, for fun.
You're really great.
You can wipe your hand on my shirt if you want.
This starts to make me hungry.
I was only a few years older than Tracy when I was pregnant.
Wow./ Yes.
Yes, I think my husband and I will make up...
... and the baby was born and we lived together,
but it turns out the reality is different.
He left me.
So, I...
After all, it's up to him,
but I have to raise Reno myself, That's my son, his name is Reno.
Then I met Rainey.
That's fun. I feel happy for a moment. It's just...
You know, Reno was already a teenager,
and he wants to find his own way of life.
And I have never heard from this news for two years.
I don't even know where he is.
I hope I'll meet with him one day.
Do your parents know where you are?
Hey, dinner is ready if you are hungry.
Yes, we are hungry.
I take care of him.
Do you want to eat?
Or just sitting here. Because I want to sit with you all night.
Come on. Come on
Come on. The food starts to cool.
Take a look at this. Tawdry? Denise, sounds like a cup of tea.
The poor girl is ready surrender herself to you.
And while you, became a monk Jack LaLanne.
Is Jan talking about Reno? Yes.
Children sometimes hard on their parents.
Are you planning to meet your parents?
I only have one plan, Rainey.
And is that Alaska?
Alaska.
Hello?
Merry Christmas. / Come here.
My parents go to town.
No.
Yes. They went to contact my grandmother to wish you a merry Christmas.
No, I mean we can't do that.
Why not?
How old are you?
18.
"That's happiness in my opinion.
And then, above all, you have a soul mate,
and maybe you have children."
"What else does a man covet?"
Last Chapter: TO GET FRIENDS
Where is your camp?
Through the Oh-My-God Hot Springs place.
I've lived here for 6 years...
... and I never heard the name that place here.
Show me to let me go. / Yes.
Ron Franz./ Alex.
Alex? Where are you from, Alex?
West Virginia. / Okay, Alex from West Virginia.
This place is good too.
Don't you...
Don't you worry about compactors and nudists there?
No, they don't interfere.
You made me like a child yesterday afternoon. How do you know?
I think because I can bring myself well.
That's what I meant.
How long have you been here?
A few weeks. / Before that?
Many places. Always move.
How old are you? / 23.
23 years old!
Son, don't you have to go to college?
And get a job? And make something meaningful in your life?
Listen, Mr. Franz,
I think career is a 20th century invention, and I don't want it.
You don't need to worry about me. I've finished college.
I'm not a poor person. I live like this because of my choice.
In this dirty place? / Yes, here.
Where is your family? / I have no family anymore.
Too bad.
Hey, Mr. Franz, I want to show something.
Come on.
This is getting uphill. A bit high for me, kid.
Alright,
even from this place, the scenery is good, right?
From up there, you can see Salton sea.
Can you see the Salton sea from up there?
Yes, sir.
God.
You don't want to go up? / No. I can't do this anymore.
I spent my life being a soldier.
New year's eve in 1957, I'm on duty in Okinawa.
My wife and daughter here they are driving on the road and there are drunk drivers crashing into them.
They both died.
You might be thinking about the thing I did to vent it...
... by drinking whiskey.
But at that time, I think that's all I can do.
And I'm very sorry!
But then I realized...
I should not grieve for the death of my wife and child drunk.
So I strengthen myself and stop drinking,
try hard.
So since then, I have lived like this.
You've traveled, Mr. Franz?
No, it seems like I can't away from my hobby.
I often carve skin. There is a garage in my garage.
Since then until my retirement, I did this hobby.
But every time I think to go somewhere,
I've received a lot of orders and it's too busy.
When we finish eating, I want to see your workshop.
Do you want to? / Oh, yeah.
I wish you said that.
Awesome how soft this is. / Yes, right.
When the skin is wet you can...
This is like butter.
Amazing. And when it hardens, it's like that.
Hit the hammer hard. Lower. Hit hard.
I went to South Dakota. I work on wheat wheat...
... for this person, Wayne. He is a very good person.
Then I wade through the Colorado river...
... then go down to the Grand Canyon and through the fast-flowing river,
and that's the most terrible thing I've ever done.
I mean, the essence of human spirit comes from new experiences.
And you're there, stubborn man, just sitting there.
Just sit down? / Yes.
I'll show you!
"Stubborn man".
I'll show you!
Come here, then! Come on.
Just sitting there? Yes.
Come on, old man. Rise up.
Just sit down.
Come on. Continue to rise!
You're great!
Keep going up. Then, Ron! / Yes!
Can anyone see this? God, do you see this now?
Yes.
Are you okay? / You are stupid!
I will miss you when you leave.
Me too, Ron. But you're wrong if you think...
... happiness comes from the relationship between human beings.
God put this all around us. Happiness is in everything.
All things we can feel.
Humans just have to change the way their fields are about that.
Yes, I will remember it.
Really.
But I want to say something.
Of all the things I have gone through,
from what you have told me about your family, mother and father.
And I also know you have a problem with going to church.
But there are bigger things that we can appreciate,
and it looks like you don't mind mentioning it is God.
But when you want to forgive,
means you love them.
And if you love,
God's light will illuminate you.
Geez./ I told you to take care of your language.
I told you!
Where is the animal? I am hungry!
I'm so hungry!
"For a moment he found back in his life goal.
He is here on earth to understand the meaning of the charm of the wild,
and name each plant with the right name. "
" With the right name. "
What is this? What is this plant?
This is Viburnum edule. Viburnum edule. Hedysarum alpinum. Hedysarum alpinum is a kind of wild potato ... such as paralysis, nausea, and indigestion. "
" If it is not immediately resolved, then it will be fatal risk...
... and causes death. "
Damn it! Damn it!
Hi.
What are you doing? It's 3:30 in the morning.
I heard you woke up half an hour ago.
I feel you will go and don't want to have breakfast together.
I'll take you 100 miles to where you can take the train,
plane or ride so you don't get stuck in the desert.
I will take you to Alaska if I don't attend Mass at 8:00.
Ron, you don't need to do that. / I want to do it.
Start what you want to do.
In... / I know.
In your adventure is great for Alaska.
This. This is machete.
Foldable fishing gear, and some other items that are useful for you.
Ron... / Just take it.
I want to change clothes and I wait for you in the truck.
My friend.
Yes.
I have an idea.
You know, my mother is the only child...
so is my father,
and I am the only child from them,
so if I die, , then the family descendents are gone.
My family genealogy ends.
What if I adopt you?
I can be your grandfather.
Ron,
can we talk about this when I returned from Alaska?
Is that okay?
Yes, yes. Sure, yes.
All right, Ron.
Thank you.
What is the sound like now?
What will he tell now?
I realize that the words that are on my mind are diminishing.
Chris wrote the story,
and Chris must tell it.
HAPPINESS CAN ONLY BE TREATED WHEN SHARING
I'VE BEEN LIVING HAPPY & THANK YOU GOD.
HAPPY STAY & HOPE LORD BLESS EVERYTHING!
"Name something with the right name . " With the right name. "
What if I smile...
and run into your arms?
Will you see...
What are I looking at?
