"Jim? What the hell is this?"
"C'mon, Bones, you're a smart guy--what do you think it is?"
"A one-way ticket to a hospital morgue."
"There's that sense of humor! I told you we needed a vacation."
"You didn't tell me a damn thing--you shot me up with a hypo and dragged me down to this godforsaken piece of dirt."
"Have you seen these mountains? Most people would say this is anything but godforsaken."
"All I see is a gigantic hole you want me to jump into with a piece of string to save my ass."
"Oh come on, Bones! People have been bungee jumping for centuries! It's perfectly safe!"
"Until the cord snaps and your insides are splattered across the rocks like a bug on a windshield."
"Bones, look. This is a tandem jump. I'll go with you. It'll be fine."
"Oh, great. So we can die together."
"I told you, we'll be fine. And I promise not to tell the entire crew if you scream like a little girl."
"I will not scream."
"Does that mean you're gonna do it?"
"I don't--"
"Please?"
"...Alright, fine. But if we die, I'm gonna kick your ass."
