• Billy Mason : Thank The Benevolent Gods For Doing This

  [looks skyward] 

  Billy Mason : And fuck you for doing this too me

• Jack Halsey : Great news, we get to do our own safari today.

  Lauren Halsey : What?

  Jack Halsey : Yeah, our friend Lucas back there, he just told me if we wanted the best experience possible, we gotta do it in the park on our own.

  Billy Mason : That doesn't sound right.

  Lauren Halsey : Don't we need a guard?

  Zoe Halsey : And guns?

  Jack Halsey : No no no, all that stuff is just fluff, it's extra.

• Zoe Halsey : Plastic bottles, Jack? They have glass ones here. *Here* they actually care about the environment.

  Billy Mason : Yeah, you know the main product of the water bottle industry is plastic, not water, Jack.

  Jack Halsey : Did you know that?

  Lauren Halsey : It's true, honey, too much plastic in the world.

• Noah Halsey : Okay so we go back out onto one of the main roads and get help. I mean, there were cars that were passing by.

  Lauren Halsey : We can't go walking through the bush, that's crazy!

  Zoe Halsey : Aren't you supposed to wait by where the accident happened? That's what they teach you, wait and then someone comes.

  Billy Mason : On a closed off back road?

  Noah Halsey : Yeah, exactly, how is anyone going to find us?

  Billy Mason : We start a fire.

• Billy Mason : [finding a mother and baby rhino on the safari]  Wait, we shouldn't be getting between them, right?

  Jack Halsey : Yeah, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with you, Billy.

• Lauren Halsey : What's going on over there?

  Billy Mason : They caught more poachers.

  Lauren Halsey : I thought they said that wasn't really a thing here.

  Noah Halsey : They don't look like poachers.

  Zoe Halsey : What are poachers suppose to look like?

  Noah Halsey : Not tourists.

  Billy Mason : These bastards kill, like, a thousand rhinos a year.

  Zoe Halsey : Holy shit, that's 3 rhinos a day.

  Jack Halsey : That's quick math, honey.

• Billy Mason : [looking for a rhino]  Giant animal with a spike on its face, what could go wrong?

• Billy Mason : Not that, there!

  Zoe Halsey : What?

  Billy Mason : That, the dead thing in the tree right there!

  Noah Halsey : What is it, a deer?

  Billy Mason : Maybe an antelope or something?

  Zoe Halsey : How did it even get up there?

  Noah Halsey : Jump?

  Zoe Halsey : And got stuck?

  Noah Halsey : Can they climb?

  Lauren Halsey : No, I don't think so!

  Jack Halsey : Geez!

• Billy Mason : All white men in suits are fucking everything up for us. They fuck things up for us, man, you down with that?

  Noah Halsey : No, but I mean it's not just him, right? We all do it. It's always someone else's responsibility. We did a project about mining cobalt in the Congo for cell phone batteries. You know how much violence there is? Corruption, child labor... all for this

  [takes out smartphone] 

  Noah Halsey : Oil is nothing, man, we're all greedy, no one really cares.

• Lauren Halsey : [after her insulin is destroyed in the crash]  I'll be fine, my glucose levels are high so I feel a little rough, but I'll be- maybe a little water?

  Billy Mason : [climbs in van]  Oh no... no water!

  Lauren Halsey : What?

  Jack Halsey : We brought water.

  Billy Mason : The glass bottles *broke*!

  Noah Halsey : [to Zoe]  Oh that's good, 'Save the planet!'

• Billy Mason : [Zoe's crying]  Are you okay?

  Zoe Halsey : [about her mom]  Diabetic ketoacidosis.

  Billy Mason : What does that mean?

  Zoe Halsey : It means in about eight hours, she's going to be in a coma! And then...
