Twenty minutes passed since Jack lost consciousness.
- Jaaaaack! Do you hear me?
Suddenly Jack opened his eyes.
- Oh fuck, - Jimmy said, - I thought you died!
- Sorry, - Jack replied.
...they were almost in Brazil. The pilot said, that only 20 minutes were left. Jack looked more alive, than an hour ago. It seemed good to Jimmy.
- Hey, what are we going to do when we arrive to Antarctica first? - Will suddenly asked.
- We're going to have a tasty supper. And also, a little sleep. And the next day I rent a boat for us to travel around there. - Jack.
- I see. And how are you going to write your book?
- With a pen. - Jack looked very serious.
- Oh god, seriously? I didn't know that!
- Okay, someone of you will drive a boat, and I will write about what I see around. That will be like a... draft. And when I come home, I will make a book.
- So, but are you sure you'll come home?
- Will!!! - Jimmy yelled. 
- God, not in that meaning. Like, but are you sure that you won't want to stay in Antarctica?
- I'm sure. - Jack seemed sure.
The plane landed. Jack looked really excited. It seemed like he was waiting exactly for this day to come during all his life. (So, but he wasn't very old - he was only 32). It was a bit strange - a 32- year-old guy was waiting to go to Antarctica. But why Antarctica? Jimmy's head was full of thoughts.
- Hey, we just landed? Jimmy?!
- Oh, yeah, I'm here.
Jimmy also thought, why isn't Jack married yet? He is already 32.
But so, they had to leave the plane.
Now they were in Brazil. Jack also wanted to visit this country, but so, they didn't expect to visit it now. Now their plans were to sit onto a ship and to get to Antarctica. Jack was happy:
-Just imagine, that we come there. I think that Antarctica is very beautiful. Do you think so too?
-...sorry, what? I didn't listen to you...
- Jimmy!
- Sorry, I'm just thinking all the time, - Jimmy looked serious.
- And what are you thinking about? - it was Will.
- About everything...
- Hmm, interesting. And what is that everything? - it seemed like Will was really interested in it.
- So, for example... Have you ever thought about... Why the sun is shining? It wants to burn us or it is our friend and it is guiding and protecting us?
- No, I haven't thought about it. But I think it just wants to burn us, - Will laughed.
- Yeah, exactly. - Jack laughed too.
...now the ship was ready to go. They were standing at the port, and Jack thought about Antarctica. About how he would say "Hi, Antarctica!" for the first time. And in his thoughts, it sounded great. Yeah, GREAT!
