BIRD.

HURRY UP.

I'M COMING.

BAMBI'S LOOKING AT ME WITH THOSE LITTLE DEVIL EYES.

I MEAN, HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE BACK OF THIS ONE?

NOT INTENTLY, NO.

WHY?

ISN'T THAT AN UDDER?

I DON'T THINK THAT'S AN UDDER.

BUT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO ALL BE GIRLS.

OKAY, BABY. OKAY.

OKAY. IS HE A BOY OR A GIRL?

YES, HE IS DEFINITELY A BOY.

OHH. OKAY. OHH!

LOOK WHAT HE'S DOING.

HE'S FOLLOWING THE GIRLS.

I JUST THOUGHT THEY WERE FRIENDS.

I THOUGHT THEY WERE, LIKE, SISTERS.

NO, HE'S TRYING TO MATE WITH HER, BIRD.

YOU'RE A GROWN MAN, BAMBI.

THAT'S JUST WRONG.

ON THIS EPISODE

OF "ALASKAN BUSH PEOPLE"...

WITH THEIR FIRST FULL WINTER ON THE RANCH APPROACHING...

I THINK IT WORKS.

...THE SIBLINGS MUST MAKE

THEIR OWN PREPARATIONS.

LOOK, GUYS, WE ALMOST HAVE A WALL ALREADY.

LET'S DO THIS.

MY HOUSE. IT'S GONNA BE A BIRD HOUSE.

AND A MOMENTOUS DECISION...

I THINK IT'S TIME FOR US TO BECOME MAN AND WIFE.

...CATCHES THEM OFF-GUARD.

IT SEEMS TO ME, LIKE, MAYBE THEY SHOULD HAVE

GOTTEN TO KNOW EACH OTHER A LITTLE BIT LONGER,

A LITTLE BETTER.

THERE'S NO NEED TO RUSH INTO IT.

BUT WHEN THE PERILS OF MOUNTAIN LIFE HIT...

I THINK HE NEEDS TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

WE'VE NEVER QUIT YET.

I'LL BE DARNED IF I'M GONNA QUIT TODAY.

...THE BROWN SIBLINGS WILL HAVE NO ONE TO FALL BACK ON.

EVERYTHING DOESN'T HAVE TO BE DONE YOUR WAY, BAM.

THEY MUST PROVE THEY CAN KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE.

IT'S GOING, GABE! WATCH OUT!

SO, BETWEEN THE OUTSIDE

GOING FROM A REFRIGERATOR

TO NOW OFFICIALLY A FREEZER TEMPERATURE,

YOU CAN PROBABLY STILL HEAR IT.

IT'S COLD IN HERE.

TEMPERATURES HAVE PLUMMETED

ON THE BROWN'S WASHINGTON MOUNTAIN,

AND WITH WINTER ON THEIR DOORSTEP,

EXPECTANT COUPLE NOAH AND RHAIN ALISHA

ARE PREPARING THEIR TEMPORARY SHELTER

FOR THE BITTER COLD.

OKAY, SO, IF WE RUN OUT OF BLANKETS,

WE CAN JUST SKIN YOUR CAT.

YOU COULD.

HE'S FLUFFY ENOUGH.

-ISN'T IT GETTING A LITTLE BIT TOO COLD

TO JUST BE IN THE M.A.S.H. TENT WITHOUT ANY INSULATION?

WE'RE USING SOME OLD BLANKETS,

A COUPLE TARPS, AND SPACE BLANKETS.

WITH ALL THOSE TAPED TOGETHER, GLUED TOGETHER,

AND STUCK TO THE CEILING,

THAT SHOULD INSULATE RATHER WELL.

TA-DA!

I THINK IT'S DONE.

THE M.A.S.H. TENT AS-IS,

IT'S GOOD ENOUGH TO GET THROUGH THE WINTER,

BUT I'M NOT IRRESPONSIBLE ENOUGH

TO HAVE MY WIFE AND NEWBORN CHILD IN THERE.

SO I WANT TO MAKE A PERMANENT STRUCTURE TO LIVE IN.

BLUE TARP TIME! UGH!

KIND OF HEINOUS, BUT WE'LL MAKE IT WORK.

SINCE RELOCATING TO THEIR REMOTE HOMESTEAD,

THE BROWNS HAVE STRIVED TO ESTABLISH

A SELF-SUSTAINABLE RANCH.

ARE WE JUST GONNA STAND AROUND AND LOOK PRETTY,

OR ARE WE GONNA SAW SOME BUSHES?

AND WITH A BARN IN PLACE AND LIVESTOCK EXPANDING,

THE SIBLINGS HAVE BEGUN TO SHIFT FOCUS

TOWARDS THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL DWELLINGS.

ARE YOU GONNA BUILD IT ON A TRAILER?

- YEAH. - IS IT GONNA BE MOBILE?

YEAH.

THAT'S AWESOME. YEAH.

IT'S GONNA BE A MOBILE TINY HOUSE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT THING?

IF WE COULD GET THAT UP THERE?

I COULD SEE IT.

YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW WITH THE BARN AND ALL UP,

WE'VE BASICALLY GOT THE HUB DONE FOR THE RANCH,

AND NOW IT'S TIME THE GUYS START THINKING ABOUT THEIR OWN HOUSES.

IT'S REALLY THE NEXT PROGRESSION OF THE RANCH.

I THINK IT'LL GIVE THEM PEACE OF MIND.

I THINK IT'LL GIVE THEM, YOU KNOW, SECURITY.

IT'S WHAT WILL MAKE US MULTIGENERATIONAL.

-TIMBER!

BUT WE'VE HAD A LOT OF SQUABBLES AND ARGUMENTS

AND EVERYTHING ELSE, AND WE CAN'T STEP IN ANYMORE

AND BE THE MOM AND DAD AND GO, "THAT'S ENOUGH, KIDS."

MOM AND I AREN'T GONNA BE HERE FOREVER.

THEY HAVE GOT TO LEARN TO RESOLVE THESE THINGS THEMSELVES.

THEY HAVE TO WORK THROUGH THEM,

OR A SIMPLE THING LIKE THAT

CAN STOP EVERYTHING WE'RE DOING.

YOU WANT TO BUILD OVER THERE, RIGHT?

'CAUSE I WAS LOOKING TO BUILD SOMEWHERE OVER THERE

'CAUSE I WANT, LIKE, TREES.

MY HOUSE WOULD BE RIGHT THERE.

SO, DO YOU WANT TO BACK IT UP JUST A LITTLE BIT?

BIRD AND I ARE FINDING HER HOUSE SITE.

ORIGINALLY, SHE WAS GONNA BRING BEAR UP HERE, AND I SAID NO.

I'M PRETTY MUCH HERE TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT BIRD,

LIKE, KNOWS WHERE THE PROPERTY LINES ARE.

OR THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER TREE BACK THERE.

WELL, THAT'S ALSO, LIKE, RIGHT ON THE PROPERTY LINE, TOO.

I'M GONNA STAND WHERE MY HOUSE IS,

AND IF YOU CAN SEE ME, GO FARTHER.

I'M DEFINITELY GONNA MISS NOT LIVING WITH RAIN,

BUT WE'RE STILL PRETTY CLOSE.

I'M READY TO JUST HAVE A HOUSE BY MYSELF.

I HAVE SIX CATS, TOO, SO I WON'T BE COMPLETELY ALONE.

HEY, RAIN! YEP?

CAN YOU SEE ME?

A LITTLE BIT, BUT NOT REALLY.

I LIKE IT OVER HERE.

I'M EXCITED FOR MY HOUSE.

IT'S GONNA BE A BIRD HOUSE.

I'M GONNA LIVE IN THE TREES WITH THE ANIMALS.

I WANT MY NEIGHBORS TO BE, LIKE, SQUIRRELS AND BIRDS.

I WANT BIRDS TO WANT TO BUILD NESTS ON MY HOUSE.

WHAT'S THE NEWS?

I MEAN, I REALLY LIKE IT BACK THERE,

AND THERE ARE LOTS OF, LIKE, BIG TREES.

I JUST WANT TO BE ONE WITH THE FOREST.

BUT WHILE MOST OF THE BROWNS

ARE PUTTING THEIR ENERGY

TOWARDS BUILDING THEIR PERMANENT DWELLINGS,

ONE SIBLING'S PRIORITY LIES ELSEWHERE.

WHAT'S UP?

OKAY, I HAVE SOMETHING I WANT TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT,

AND IT'S REALLY SERIOUS.

WELL, IT'S ABOUT RAQUELL.

WE'RE THINKING OF GETTING MARRIED.

I WAS A LITTLE SHOCKED WHEN GABE SAID HE PLANS TO GET MARRIED.

I WAS. IT SEEMED TO ME LIKE

MAYBE THEY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN TO KNOW EACH OTHER

A LITTLE BIT LONGER, A LITTLE BETTER,

AND FOUND OUT THE WORST PART OF EACH OTHER AND ALL THAT.

BUT IF GABE FEELS LIKE IT'S THE THING TO DO,

I'LL STAND BEHIND HIM 1,000%.

-HAVING MET RAQUELL AND KNOWING GABE,

IT'S A PERFECT MATCH.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL. IT'S LIKE A FLOWER.

SHE'S MEANT TO BE ON OUR MOUNTAIN.

I'M GETTING A LITTLE NERVOUS.

I'M ACTUALLY KIND OF SHAKING THERE.

THE WEDDING COMING UP GETTING YOU NERVOUS?

OH, MY GOODNESS. YEAH?

I HEAR THERE'S A HIGH STATISTIC OF PEOPLE

THAT ACTUALLY PASS OUT AT WEDDINGS.

OH, THAT'S THE LAST THING I NEED.

GROOMS, ESPECIALLY.

I WANT TO MARRY RAQUELL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT TO WAIT FIVE YEARS

BEFORE WE GET MARRIED.

THAT SEEMS SILLY TO ME.

IT'S LIKE WE KNOW.

WHEN YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW.

AND AT THIS POINT,

EVERY MOMENT I'M NOT MARRIED TO HER

SEEMS LIKE A WASTE OF TIME IN MY EYES.

GABE IS PLANNING TO HAVE A WEDDING

ON THE PROPERTY IN ONLY A WEEK'S TIME.

IT'S GOING, GABE! WATCH OUT!

AND HE'S ENLISTED BROTHER BEAR

TO HELP MAKE BENCHES FOR THE CEREMONY.

YEAH, THIS SHOULD BE FUN.

SHOULD BE, MAN. SHOULD BE FUN.

IT'S GONNA BE SOMETHING. IT'S LIKE, "WOW,

BOTH LITTLE BROTHERS," SURE.

BOTH MY YOUNGER BROTHERS. AAH!

WELL, DID YOU NOTICE WE'RE WORKING OUR WAY UP?

IT'S TRUE, BUT DON'T LOOK AT ME.

THAT MEANS YOU'RE NEXT IN LINE.

NO WAY, MAN.

IF I ACTUALLY MET THE PERFECT EXTREME PRINCESS,

I WOULDN'T ACTUALLY WANT TO MARRY HER RIGHT AWAY.

IT WOULD BE MORE OF AN EXTREME COURTSHIP.

YOU KNOW, SEE IF SHE CAN, LIKE, RUN OBSTACLE COURSES,

OUT-SHOOTING ME, THINGS LIKE THAT.

BUT, NO, I'D PROBABLY DO IT A LITTLE SLOWER, BUT WHO KNOWS?

I MEAN, WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THAT LOVE HAMMER

HITS YOU ON THE HEAD AND JUST NAILS YOU INTO THE GROUND?

I DON'T KNOW.

THAT'S ABOUT RIGHT. RIGHT?

YEAH.

SIT DOWN ON THAT ONE.

YEAH, I SUPPOSE.

YEAH, THAT'LL DO.

I OBJECT!

I'M IN LOVE WITH THE BRIDE.

WELL, YOU SHOULDN'T BE OBJECTING.

SHE'S YOUR BRIDE. OH, YEAH,

BUT WHY AM I SITTING HERE WATCHING MY OWN WEDDING?

YOU KNOW, OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF WEEKS,

BEAR'S REALLY BEEN MAKING A LITTLE BIT OF EXTRA EFFORT

IN WELCOMING RAQUELL INTO THE FAMILY,

AND IT'S REALLY HEART-WARMING.

SPEAKING OF, I'M OBVIOUSLY GOING TO BE MARRYING THE GIRL,

SO THAT'S MY PART. I'M GONNA BE THE GROOM.

YEAH, YOU HAVE A BIG ROLE.

BUT I NEED A BEST MAN.

BEAR, WILL YOU BE MY BEST MAN?

BEAR'S ALWAYS BEEN, LIKE, MY BEST FRIEND, YOU KNOW,

AND THIS MEANS A LOT TO ME.

AND I KNOW IT'S GONNA MEAN A LOT TO HIM.

I'M JUST HOPING HE SAYS YES.

WELL, GABE, I SUPPOSE SINCE WE'VE HAD THIS DEAL

SINCE WE WERE BOTH KNEE-HIGH TO A GRASSHOPPER,

I'M GONNA HAVE TO SAY

I'LL BE YOUR BEST MAN.

IT IS A VERY BIG HONOR

TO BE CHOSEN TO BE GABE'S BEST MAN.

I'M NOT 100% SURE WHAT THE BEST MAN ENTAILS.

I KNOW IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE RINGS.

I'LL JUST BE THE BEST MAN I POSSIBLY CAN.

I WILL BE THE BEST MAN EVER.

I THINK IT'S GOOD. I THINK WE DID REALLY GOOD ON IT.

IT'S ONE OF THE FANCIEST BENCHES WE'VE EVER BUILT.

YEAH, I THINK SO. AND IT'S JUST A FEW BOARDS.

LET'S GET THE REST OF THEM.

LET'S DO IT.

WITH HIS M.A.S.H. TENT INSULATED FOR THE WINTER,

NOAH GETS TO WORK ON AN INVENTION

THAT WILL KICK-START THE BUILD OF HIS FUTURE HOME.

THE M.A.S.H. TENT WILL WORK TEMPORARILY,

BUT QUITE FRANKLY,

HAVING A NEWBORN IN THE M.A.S.H. TENT WOULD BE BAD.

RHAIN AND I WERE TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT TO BUILD

AS A PERMANENT STRUCTURE,

AND IT TURNS OUT WE'RE GONNA HAVE A CASTLE.

WITH RHAIN OUT LOOKING FOR WHERE WE'RE GONNA PUT OUR CASTLE,

I FORESEE THE PROBLEM OF CLEARING.

THE REGULAR HATCHET, CHAINSAW, MACHETE,

IT'S KIND OF SLOW,

BUT AN ELECTRIC SAW ISN'T SLOW AT ALL.

AS THEY'VE ESTABLISHED THEIR HOMESTEADS IN THE BUSH,

THE BROWNS HAVE CLEARED BRUSH AND TIMBER

ON ALMOST EVERY SITE THEY'VE BUILT.

BUT USING HIS GIFT OF INGENUITY,

NOAH INTENDS TO SPEED UP THE PAINSTAKINGLY SLOW PROCESS.

I FOUND THIS AT THE DUMP.

THE IDEA IS TO CREATE A SAW

SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR BRUSHING.

I'VE DECIDED TO ATTACH THIS PIECE

SO THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY STRAP IT TO YOUR ARM.

ONCE IT'S ATTACHED, WE'LL TAKE ONE HAND,

WHICH ALLOWS YOU TO BE ABLE TO GRAB ONTO A BRANCH

AND CUT STRAIGHT THROUGH IT.

THIS SHOULD BE GOOD,

AND SCARY.

IMAGINE ME RUNNING THROUGH THE WOODS WITH THIS.

MAYBE MAKE UP SOME ARMOR TO GO WITH THIS THING

ONCE IT'S FINISHED.

HEY, BAM.

HI, BIRDIE.

YOU KIND OF STAND OUT A LITTLE BIT WITH THAT VEST.

AH, THANK YOU.

I FIGURED IT'S FALL.

I SHOULD GET SPRING COLORS.

YOU LOOK PRETTY TODAY, BAM.

OKAY. I KNOW THAT'S FOLLOWED BY SOMETHING.

WHAT DO YOU WANT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

NO, YOU JUST LOOK PRETTY.

YOU LOOK, LIKE, RADIANT.

YOU KNOW, I'M -- I'M DEFINITELY GONNA NEED HELP

BUILDING MY BIRD HOUSE BECAUSE I WANT IT TO BE DONE

BEFORE WINTER, YOU KNOW?

I LIKE DOING IT MYSELF, BUT IT'S ALWAYS EASIER,

YOU KNOW, IF WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER.

SO, WITH THE WEATHER CHANGING AND GETTING, LIKE, COLD,

I'M STARTING MY HOUSE AND ALL.

I JUST NEED SUPPLIES FROM TOWN.

OKAY...?

WHICH IS WHERE YOU COME IN.

BECAUSE AS GOOD OF A DRIVER AS I AM, YOU'RE --

YOU HAVE A "LICENSE" AND ALL.

I HAVE A LICENSE.

SAY THAT AGAIN. YEAH.

YOU -- YOU NEED ME?

HERE, LATELY, BAM AND I HAVE BEEN

BUTTING HEADS A LITTLE BIT.

I DEFINITELY FEEL LIKE IF I DON'T TRY AGAIN WITH BAM,

THAT, LIKE, I'M GIVING UP.

AND BAM'S MY BROTHER.

I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU...

I DON'T NEED YOU TO.

SURE.

I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE TRICKING ME SOMEHOW.

YOU ALREADY ASKED. WE'RE GOING.

I HOPE BAM IS TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF, FOR SURE,

BUT IT'S HARD TO SAY, YOU KNOW,

BECAUSE MAYBE HE'S JUST HAVING A GOOD DAY.

FOR MY LITTLE SISTER, ANYTHING.

ANYTHING, HUH?

WITHIN REASON.

ACTUALLY, I'M TEMPTED NOW.

THE DREAM ISN'T JUST LIVING ON THE MOUNTAIN

AND BEING SELF-SUFFICIENT AND NOT GOING TO TOWN.

THE DREAM IS BEING TOGETHER AND BEING A FAMILY.

AND IF EVERYBODY CAN'T, LIKE, YOU KNOW, WORK TOGETHER,

THEN THE MOUNTAINS AND THE WHOLE DREAM IS JUST LOST.

I'LL GET READY TO GO TO TOWN.

AWESOME. JUST COME GET ME WHEN YOU WANT TO GO.

YEAH.

WHAT THE...?

THIS IS THE BUSH BRUSH WHACKER.

-JUST WHEN THE KIDS' PLANS ARE COMING TOGETHER...

-I WANT AN AREA THAT'S OVERLOOKING

THE ENTIRE BROWN MOUNTAIN IF I CAN.

- WHAT'S HAPPENING? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

-...THE WOLF PACK IS STOPPED DEAD IN THEIR TRACKS.

I CAN'T GET ENOUGH AIR.

HE NEEDS TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL.

♪♪

HEY, RAIN!

YEP?

ARE YOU WHERE YOUR HOUSE IS GOING?

UH, YEAH.

HIGH IN THE NORTHERN CASCADE MOUNTAINS OF WASHINGTON,

THE BROWN SIBLINGS ARE SELECTING THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL HOME SITES.

I WANT A REALLY HIGH-UP CLIFF AREA, PREFERABLY,

SO I CAN SURVEY THE ENTIRE AREA.

AND BROTHER BEAR HAS DEVISED A UNIQUE CONCEPT

FOR HIS FIRST HOME.

SO, I WANT AN AREA THAT'S OVERLOOKING

THE ENTIRE BROWN MOUNTAIN IF I CAN,

BUT I PREFERABLY WANT IT TO SEE MOM'S AND DAD'S HOUSE.

THAT WAY, I COULD, LIKE, ZIP DOWN TO IT,

KEEP A GOOD EYE ON THEM, NO MATTER HOW FAR AWAY I AM.

I THINK I MIGHT HAVE FOUND MY SPOT.

SINCE THERE AREN'T REALLY ENOUGH TREES

TO BUILD AN ACTUAL TREE HOUSE,

I HAVE AN EXTREME IDEA IN MIND.

I ACTUALLY GOT THE IDEA FROM DAD.

WHAT I HAVE IN MIND IS TAKING A BUNCH OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS --

THE OLD SHIPPING CONTAINERS, LIKE IN ALASKA.

WE'RE GONNA TAKE THEM LIKE THIS AND STACK THEM UP.

THEN I'M GONNA STACK UP SOME MORE CONTAINERS --

I TAKE THEM UP VERTICAL.

AND THEN I STICK IT IN RIGHT THERE.

WELD IT UP.

SO THEN I LITERALLY HAVE A CASTLE MADE OUT OF CONTAINERS.

AND THE THING SHOULD BE ALMOST 40 FOOT UP IN THE AIR.

I CAN PUT CARPET ALL OVER THE WALLS,

ALL OVER THE ROOF, SLAP A DISCO BALL IN THERE.

IT'LL BE LIKE AN EXTREMELY AWESOME AND COOL CASTLE!

THE ONLY HARD PART WILL BE GETTING SOME CONTAINERS

AND THEN DRAGGING THEM UP HERE.

ALWAYS MORE WORK TO BE DONE, THOUGH.

I KNOW KIND OF WHAT I'M DOING,

SO I'D DEFINITELY LIKE TO HAVE, LIKE, YOUR BRAIN.

UH, YOU WANT TO DRAW IT?

YEAH, OF COURSE.

WITH HIS WEDDING BENCHES COMPLETE,

GABE CONTINUES TO PREPARE FOR THE CEREMONY.

BUT WITH THE WEDDING ONLY A WEEK AWAY,

HE'S RUNNING LOW ON TIME.

RAQUELL AND I ARE GETTING MARRIED REALLY SOON,

AND THERE'S A LOT TO BE DONE.

TODAY I'M GETTING STARTED ON THE WEDDING ARCH,

AND I WANTED SOME HELP WITH IT.

OKAY, SO, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

HOW LONG YOU THINK THIS IS GONNA TAKE US?

HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE?

NOT LONG.

THAT'S WHY I CAME TO YOU.

WHERE IS THE RECEPTION?

I MEAN, ON THE MOUNTAIN, OF COURSE.

HAVE YOU SENT OUT INVITATIONS?

I ASKED YOU TO COME, DIDN'T I?

I THINK GABE'S CAUGHT UP IN THE ROMANTICISM

OF BEING MARRIED AND HAVING A GIRLFRIEND.

HE DOESN'T REALIZE THAT HE'S RUSHING IT.

YOU REALIZE THAT MY WIFE AND I WERE ENGAGED FOR TWO YEARS.

THERE'S NO NEED TO RUSH INTO IT.

WE'RE NOT RUSHING INTO IT.

WE JUST WANT TO GET MARRIED.

I'M JUST SAYING IF YOU WANT EVERYTHING TO BE PERFECT,

PERFECT TAKES TIME.

YOU KNOW, RAQUELL AND I ARE BOTH PRETTY LEVEL-HEADED.

YOU KNOW, WE KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT GONNA GET A LOT DONE

IN A WEEK'S TIME, BUT WE WANT THIS WEDDING TO BE SPECIAL.

WE WANT THE CEREMONY TO BE BEAUTIFUL, YOU KNOW,

LIKE EVERY WEDDING SHOULD BE.

AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE TO PUT THE PEDAL TO THE METAL

IF WE WANT TO PULL THE CEREMONY OFF RIGHT.

OKAY, THESE ARE REALLY GOOD WINDOWS.

I LIKE THESE.

SHOULD WE SEE WHAT'S INSIDE?

YEAH, LET'S SEE WHAT'S INSIDE.

SEVEN HOURS IS SCARY AS HECK.

IN ONE AFTERNOON, HE PULLED OUT A FULL POUND OF LIQUID.

WE WON'T GET IT BEFORE WINTER.

DAD'S SAYING JUST TO GO BACK UP TO THE MOUNTAIN,

JUST WORK ON EVERYTHING ELSE, AND I WANT TO DO THAT,

I DON'T REALLY WANT TO BE AWAY FROM HIS SIDE.
