["Steal My Thunder" by Conner Smith playing on the radio]
Tyler: Yeah, that's my radio.
Faith: What's all this for? Wait, what are you touching back there?
Tyler:Stop.
Faith:You have a lot of stuff in here. Yeah, that... that's a mirror.
Tyler:Oh, God. Ooh. Have you ever been in a car before?
Faith:You got a lot of gadgets.
Tyler:Yeah, yeah, don't touch. There's... there's guards there for a reason.
Faith: What do these do?
Tyler: That's a... Oh! God.
[Sound of explosion]
Faith: Sorry.
Tyler: That's a rocket. Yep. All right, what about these two little ones? Just west of Enid.
Faith: Yeah, but this one to the east has the sky all to herself.
Tyler: Yeah, I'm not falling for that again. You serious?
Faith: Tell you later.
["Steal My Thunder" continues]
Faith: Dew point is steady! Wind shear is good!
Tyler: Holy shit!
Faith: Oh, my God, the whole updraft is rotating!
Tyler: Holy cow!
Faith: I mean, look at those striations! It's low precip! You can see everything! Aw, she's perfect! She's gorgeous.
[Camera shutter clicking]
Faith: [laughing] She's gonna give us something! Come on!
["Steal My Thunder" continues]
Tyler: All right, let's harness up.
[Tyler grunts]
Faith: Uh, we're just gonna drop the trailer in its path, right?
Tyler: I'll tell you later.
Faith: Shit.
["Steal My Thunder" continues]
Faith: Well, you don't have to drive into it. It's really dangerous.
Tyler: Oh, that's why we have to drive into it. Can't miss from in there.
Faith: Oh, shit.
["Steal My Thunder" continues]
Tyler: Now, look, this thing's rated for EF1s, okay? Oh, shit. We got extra weight on the chassis. We got anchoring down two feet. Don't worry. I'm a professional.
Faith: You're an asshole.
Tyler: Hold on. Hold on!
Faith: Oh, Tyler, this is dumb. This is really dumb. This is really dumb.
Tyler: Uh-huh, all right. We got this, Faith. Here comes the kick!
Faith: Oh, God!
["Steal My Thunder" ends abruptly as the wind roars]
Faith: Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God!
Tyler: Oh. All right, slowing down. Anchoring. Barrels. Hold on.
[Both laughing]
Faith: Did you see that?
Tyler: I saw it.
Faith: Holy... [laughs]
Tyler: Uh, did it work?
Faith: Oh, right. Uh... So many belts.
[Watching the tornado from the distance ]
Faith: It's not working.
Tyler: Hungry?
Faith: [insects chirping] What if it's the model that's the problem? How do we create a better one?
