MORGAN: I thought we were always on our own in this world.

I was wrong.

So, what's your story?

I met new people who became friends... and we survived a hurricane...

- [SNARLS]
- ... truckers...

- MAN: That's a half point.
- MORGAN: ... an alligator...

These aren't friendly waters.

- MAN: Well, we ain't going for a swim.

- ... beer runs.

I'm not scared.

Is it going to be loud?

No. It won't be loud.

Actually, I'm completely lying.

It's gonna be one of the louder things you've ever heard.

Louder than when Dad's barbecue exploded.

Annie said there was a crowd of growlers nearby.
