Transcript

Jonas: Okay, we're here for uh, Spencer's next phase of training. He brought us out here. He's training Daniel, let's take a look.

(Camera pans to Daniel, who is in a "downward-dog" yoga position, and Spencer, who is standing nearby.)

Daniel: How's this?

Spencer: Back straighter.

Daniel: If you post this, I'm gonna kill you!

Jonas: Aw, don't worry about it, buddy.

Spencer: Straighten your back. No, it's wiki-yoga, Daniel, so everyone online can contribute tips to help get you in better form!

Jonas: You need better form.

Spencer: Yeah. Our friend Daniel is heavily engaged in the "downward-dog" position of yoga. I told him it's crucial to master this move, especially with his role in our mission to obtain the blood sample. Now, after this, he'll engage in a series of exercises used to challenge a man's serpentine coordination.

(Musical montage of Spencer and Daniel doing yoga.)

Daniel: (Bent oddly, crying in pain.) Oh ho ho ho, baby.

Spencer: Nice. Nice!

Daniel: Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Spencer: Nice! Hahahaha!

Daniel: Oh, my God.

(Cuts to Spencer and Jonas holding up a limbo stick.)

Jonas: If you get this one, Daniel, I think you might be ready for the '08 Olympics.

(Daniel limbos under the stick.)

Daniel: Oooh yeah!

Jonas: Gold medal!

Daniel: That's a gold.

Spencer: I taught him that form.

(Cuts to Daniel, blindfolded, walking in a maze-like path of tape.)

Spencer: So what's up with you and that Sarah girl? (Daniel stops.) Keep going! You still like her?

Daniel: No.

Spencer: But she's cute.

Daniel: Dude!!

Spencer: Relax! I'm training you to free your mind from outside distractions! Geez.

(Daniel continues walking on the maze. When he finishes, Spencer begins jumping up and down victoriously. Daniel pulls off his blindfold and high fives Jonas.)

Spencer: I've created a Gauntlet of sorts. This is a culmination of everything I've taught Daniel today, and now he's going to go through it.

Jonas: Hey, Gils. Don't you think we should have gunfire that should be shooting over his head or something? (Spencer glares at the camera.) That could make it more real.

Daniel: What?!

Spencer: No, no.

Jonas: I'm just saying.

Spencer: No. Ready, Daniel?

Spencer: On your mark, get set...

Daniel: Alright.

Spencer: Go!

(Daniel heads forward through the obsticle course, blindfolded.)

Spencer: Straight. Right! (Daniel heads right and bends backwards beneath a limbo bar which Spencer has held out for him.) Left! (Daniel turns left.)

Jonas: He's all over the tape.

Spencer: What?

Jonas: I just said, he was on the tape right there.

Spencer: He looked fine to me. Alright, stop! There is a bar four feet high, a rope one foot high, how do you get through it?

Jonas: Use your yoga sense, Daniel. Use your yoga sense.

(Daniel climbs over the rope, but under the bar.)

Spencer: No, if you're going to be joking I can't deal with this. (Daniel suceeds in his task.) Good! Good downward dog!! Now, cobra! Underneath the rope!

(Daniel crawls under the rope.)

Spencer: You're doing so well! One more task! Around. Step back one foot, one-and-a-half feet behind you, one foot off the ground. There's a rope! Backwards plow into the square! (Daniel does so.) Yes! You did it!! Congratulations.

(He hands Daniel a trophy.)

Spencer: Well earned, Danielbeast.

(Daniel looks at the trophy and notices the female figure perched atop it.)

Daniel: Is that a girl?

Spencer: Er, it might be.

Jonas: She looks cute though. And she's golden.

Notes

• The downward dog is a popular yoga position. Sarah also enjoys yoga.
• Helicopters can be heard near the end of the video.
• Around 2:10 Jonas calls Spencer by a new nickname, Gils, which is short for his surname, Gilman.
• The first title page has a misspelling and actually appears as "SERPINTINE COORDINATION" rather than "SERPENTINE COORDINATION".
