(soft sentimental music)
- The feeling of tundra beneath me,
the spruce-scented wind in my face,
and over half a million miles of freedom.
This is why I'll never leave this land.
(engine sputtering)
(Jesse sighs)
Hey bro.
- [Ben] Hey, what's up? You good?
- Yeah. Yeah, no I'm doing fine.
My wheeler's out of gas though.
- [Ben] Again? Dude,
you got to remember to bring your gas.
I'm on the way.
Where would you be without me?
(Jesse laughs)
- [Ben] It's going to be your last ride for awhile.
- Come on now. Don't get sad on me.
(engine turns over)
- I don't care where I go.
This last day in Alaska is just...
(party goers chat indistinctly)
- Hey, hey! Ben!
- Leaving and losing his Alaskan identity.
(Jesse laughs)
- To Ben!
- Dude, dude, cheers to not Alaska.
- To not Alaska. - Exactly.
- Absolutely, yes.
- (Jesse's voiceover) Who are you going to hang out with
after all this?
- To not Alaska.
- (Jesse's Voiceover) You're really going
to let your little brother go to the lower 48 alone?
(phone rings)
(students talking indistinctly)
(phone rings)
- You know what? Actually, I think that's dirty. Hold on.
- Well, whenever it's...
(phone rings)
- Dang.
- [Ben] Jesse.
- [Jesse] You don't call your brother no more or what?
- [Ben] I'm sorry, dude.
I've had a lot going on.
- How's the new city life going?
- [Ben] Like, yeah. Sorry.
I haven't had the chance to call you.
- So things are going well then?
- [Ben] Yeah. It's been crazy fun,
but what have you been up to since we left?
- [Jesse] Oh you know, staying busy,
just holding the fort down.
(men laughing)
- [Ben] What do you mean holding the fort down? For who?
- [Jesse] I mean, for when you and the boys come back.
- [Ben] Dude, we went over this.
- [Jesse] You're not missing it at all?
All the times together and stuff?
- [Ben] That's not what I'm saying.
I'm just saying like I don't miss that place.
I'm kind of hoping you'll come down here.
(somber music)
- [Jesse] Yeah. Well, I've been busy here too.
Exploring and planting more trees
and I nearly have that whole plot done actually.
- [Ben] Dude, it's just a job.
You could have any tree planting job wherever you want.
(men laughing and talking indistinctly)
(somber music)
(gun fires)
- [Jesse] It's not just a job.
It's this place.
I love it.
(gun fires)
(men laughing and talking indistinctly)
- He never misses!
(gun fires) (somber music continues)
- [Ben] I think you're going to miss out on a lot
up there all alone.
- [Jesse] Are you trying to say, "I miss you"?
- [Woman Over Phone] Hurry up! We got to leave now.
- [Ben] I'm coming!
I'm sorry. I should probably go.
(gun fires repeatedly)
You know you can love Alaska
and leave it too?
- [Jesse] Yeah, okay.
I'll let you go.
(engine sputters)
- Come on! Come on! Come on!
Come on!
(Jesse screams)
(soft sentimental music)
(birds chirp)
(upbeat music)
