Can I say it slow for you? Look, I need FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS! Read my lips: FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS is what I need! This is bullshit here, I can’t do nothing with that.

Human beings simply aren’t built to function at the cruising altitude of a 747. Okay, once we get above here, above the South Col, our bodies will be literally dying. And I mean literally dying. It’s not called the Death Zone for nothing.

After 20 years, you analyze a lot. You remember people, heroism. “The Miracle of the Andes”, that’s what they called it. Many people come up to me and say that, had they been there, they surely would have died. But it makes no sense. Because until you’re in a situation like that, you… you have no idea how you’d behave. To be affronted by solitude without decadence, or a single material thing to prostitute, it elevates you to a spiritual plane, where I felt the presence of God. Now, there’s the God they taught me about at school, and there is the God that’s hidden by what surrounds us in this civilization. That’s the God that I met on the mountain.

So we finish the eighteenth and he’s gonna stiff me. And I say, “Hey, Lama, hey, how about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know.” And he says, “Oh, uh, there won’t be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.” So I got that goin’ for me, which is nice.
