Carlitos

Hey, I'll pay for pizza if you go get it.

Older Carlitos

And so we were saved. Nando and Canessa breached the Andes and we were saved. Later, a group went back and buried the bodies. They built a rough stone altar by the grave and on top of it, they placed an iron cross. There's nothing more I can tell you. We were brought together by a grand experience.

Between these mountains somewhere there's a green valley. See those mountains over there? There's no snow on them.

Roberto

Those mountains must be 50 miles away. You think you can walk 50 miles?

If we have to, we will.

Roberto

I can't.

Yes you can.

Roberto

I can't. I'm not as strong as you.

Do you know what it is that we've lived this long the way we have? 70 days? It's impossible. I's impossible and we did it. I'm proud to be a man on a day like this. Alive. That I lived to see it, and see it in such a place. Take it in. I love you, man. It's beautiful. It's God. And it'll carry us over every stone, I swear.

[debating whether to eat the bodies]

I think God would want us to survive. Strive to live.

Gustavo

At all costs?

No. I mean, we shouldn't murder innocents to live.

Gustavo

And what about our innocence? What's going to become of our innocence if we survive as cannibals?

Federico

Are we supposed to fly that close to the mountains?

Older Carlitos

After 20 years, you analyze a lot. You remember people, heroism. The Miracle of the Andes...that's what they call it. Many people come up to me and say that, had they been there, they surely would have died - but that makes no sense because, until you are in a situation like that, you have no idea how you'll behave. To be affronted by solitude without decadence or a single material thing to prostitute - that elevates you to a spiritual plane...where I felt the presence of God. Now there's the God they taught me about at school - and there's the God that's hidden by what surrounds us in this civilization. That's the God that I met on the mountain.

Zerbino, are you okay?

Gustavo

People are hurt, Antonio! I've only been in med school 6 months!

Dante
[Canessa and Zerbino find the co-pilot, badly injured.] [shivering]

My bag, my... bag.

Roberto

He wants his bag.

Gustavo

There isn't much on the floor. I don't... I don't see his bag.

Roberto

We're looking. What's in the bag?

Dante
[rolls his eyes]

My... My gun. Gun!

Roberto
[Pause]

No, my friend. We can't be a part of that.

Federico
[repeated line]

My name is Federico Aranda, and I will return.

Felipe

What's more important to you, rugby or girls?

Girls. You?

Felipe

Girls.

But when I'm playing rugby, rugby's the most important thing.

Felipe

Yeah, unless girls are watching.

Right.
[They both laugh]

Alberto!

Carlitos

Dead.

Alberto

I'm not dead. I've never felt worse in my life, but I'm not dead.

[addressing the survivors]

Okay, uh, I got something to tell you. Good news - they called off the search.

Carlitos
[everyone objects and argues]

Why the hell is that good news?

Because it means we're gonna get out of here on our own.

Carlitos
[Nando, Roberto, and Tintin are about to leave]

Wait!

Hugo

Carlitos, let them go!

Carlitos

I have to tell you something. I had a dream last night, a tremendous premonition. I saw green fields and flowers. I could smell the grass. [pause] Your expedition will succeed.
