- Hey, I got "Goonies!" - Awesome.
- My cousin has a double VHS player
and he made his own copy.
- Wait, FBI warning?
- Oh my gosh. - A fine of $250,000?
- Five years in prison?
- We just take it out, take it out!
- Get the hammer. (hammer pounding loudly)
- We have to dispose of the evidence!
- Put it in a bag, and then put that bag in a bag.
And then put the bag with the bag in the bag in a bag!
- No one can ever know we watched this.
- We have to take it to the dumpster across town!
- Okay, see you tomorrow...I hope.
- They're coming for us.

- You're gonna get sucked under the escalator.
- Dear God.
- And the escalator's not even gonna slow down.
- I'm gonna be flattened, torn to pieces.
- Can you just tie your shoes real quick?
- It's too late for that.
- You're gonna have to jump. - Just tell me when.

What are you doing?

- My mom says if we turn on the car light at night,
it's illegal. - It is?
- She says if I do it then she's gonna go to jail.
- Your mom would go to jail?
- If mom goes to jail, then everyone's gonna starve,
and our bodies are gonna decompose in the house
and no one's gonna find us.

- Wait, is this quicksand?
What if this is quicksand?
Is there rope or a branch nearby?
All these movies we're watching with the quicksand pits?
They're warning us about this.
The movies say if I struggle, I'll sink faster.
Don't try to save me. It's not too late for you.
Go back and warn the others.
Thank you.
Pull me out.

Seesaws were my jam!

- So like, which one of these were you most scared of?
- I was, I really did think quicksand was real.
- Yeah. - I thought that quicksand
was something that I would encounter in my life
and that I'd have to just be really confident
about where I was going. What about you honey?
- First of all, I feel like I'm doing,
I'm doing all the work.
- You are doing all the work. - Yeah. Okay.
- You weigh a hundred pounds more than me, so.
- I was terrified of the FBI warning. (both laugh)
Like someone showed it to me and I read it
and I was like, we're gonna go to prison for a long time.
My parents don't have $250,000.
- No, you'd be stuck there. - It's gonna be all my fault.
- What'd we miss? What were you scared of?
What were irrational fears,
or things you thought like as an adult you'd be afraid of?

- Bye. This is fun. - Right?
- Thank you. Pull me out.
(snorting laughter) - Where did you find that?
- In the woods. (energetic music starts)
