**Corn Nuts** is the four-hundred seventy-fifth video in the lonelygirl15 video series. It is also the sixty-fifth video of season three.

## Transcript

**Daniel:** If you think I'm proud of myself... about leaving Steve behind... I'm not. Don't think we feel good about it, because we don't. Jonas and I know that leaving a guy in the middle of nowhere isn't cool, but... I mean, come on. Ever since Steve called us, it's been nothing but bad news. Even if we took him to a bus station or something, I mean, he could have figured out what was happening and we didn't want to give him the chance to turn the tables. If that was his plan.

You know, I've read through a lot of your messages. Jackie, caalan21, Stripped Smile, JustAnotherLonelyGirl... And I know that a lot of you think what we did was wrong, but... I mean, until you- until you've been shot at; until you've had to run for your life; until you've watched your best friend die, it's gonna be hard for you to understand where we're coming from at times.

Who knows if we're right? I don't. I'm just saying sometimes it's hard being in our shoes. You know? (*Laughs*.) Anyway, how about something fun for a change? It seems Sarah made her triumphant return. (*Laughs*.) You should really see this video she was making when we got home. She left the tape in the camera, and, uh... that's bad news for Carl.

(*Cut to a shot of the window in kitchen. A blender can be heard in the background. The camera zooms out and pans over a table covered in a sarape, with drinks and chips on it. It pans to the blender and Sarah, who is operating it wearing a sombrero*.)

**Sarah:** We may be back, but we're maintaining the cabo bar. Right, Carlos?

**Carl:** (*Reaching out for Sarah's arm*.) Hey, mama, qué es tú making?

**Sarah:** Oh, this? (*The camera pans to the blender*.) It's a little drink only the locals know about down in Cabo... Okay, it's a margarita.

(*Sarah pours the blender's contents into a margarita glass. Carl zooms in*.)

**Carl:** Ooo, margarita! Bueno!

**Sarah:** Sí. (*Takes a sip of the margarita*.) Mmm! (*Sets everything down on the counter*.) You totally need my sombrero. (*Takes off her sombrero and puts in on Carl's head*.) It's gonna look so hot on you! Show everybody!

**Carl:** No! No, don't!

(*Sarah grabs the camera from Carl and turns it around, revealing Carl in boxers and the sombrero*.)

**Sarah:** Yes. Oh, you're so sexy! (*Carl pretends to be a cabañero for the camera*.) Come to mamí! (*Sarah pans over Carl*.) Oh!

(*Cut to Carl struggling with Sarah*.)

**Carl:** Give it back to me!

**Sarah:** No!

**Carl:** Give it back to me!

**Sarah:** You can't have it. (*Laughs*.)

**Carl:** Give it back to me! Give it back to me!

(*Carl gets the camera off of Sarah*.)

**Daniel:** Woo... (*Carl turns the camera to the door, showing Daniel, Jonas, Jennie, and Gina entering*.) Woohoo! What's up there, corn nuts?

**Jonas:** (*Whistles*.) That is kinky, Carl, kinky. But I think it's (*Laughs*.) time to put the junk away.

**Jennie:** (*Laughs*.) Now we know what Sarah sees in him.

(*Gina laughs, holding a hand up to block the view*.)

**Gina:** Seriously.

**Jonas:** Oh, god... Okay, Carl, could you put some pants on, please?

**Daniel:** Dude, I need to erase this from my memory.

**Sarah:** What are you guys doing here?

**Daniel:** Uhm... We live here. What are you two doing here?

**Carl:** My timeshare expired, so...

**Daniel:** I'm just saying... That? So hot!

**Sarah:** So Carlos and I decided to bring home a little bit of Mexico. (*Walks into the kitchen, winking at Carl*.)

**Carl:** Anybody want a margarita? As a peace offering...

(*Gina, Jennie, and Jonas sit around the kitchen table, laughing. Jennie raises her hand*.)

**Jennie:** I do.

**Jonas:** (*Laughs*.) No, I think I'm gonna stick with the beer. Thanks.

**Daniel:** Well, I'm happy that you two are off partying while the rest of us were getting shot at.

**Sarah:** Fine! You don't get any.

**Carl:** Whoah, hey... The real reason we came back is she was worried about you guys, alright?

**Daniel:** (*Turns to Sarah*.) Is that true? (*Walks to Sarah in the kitchen*.) Look, I'm sorry. I just can't believe you were off in Cabo with King of the Dorks. No offense, Carl.

**Carl:** Oh, none taken. Too much tequila.

(*Sarah laughs and Daniel looks incredulously at him*.)

**Daniel:** Listen, if you were so worried about us, why didn't you return any of my calls?

**Sarah:** I needed time to think.

**Daniel:** What do you think?

**Carl:** Whoah. Easy with my lady!

**Daniel:** Whoah. She's not your lady, Carlos! (*Turns to Sarah*.) So you've had time to think. And?

**Sarah:** It's good to be home. How about I make you a "margie"? I can make it a virgin...

**Daniel:** (*Laughs and leans in to Sarah*.) I doubt that.

**Sarah:** Offensive! (*The doorbell rings*.) Very offensive!

(*Daniel shakes his head and walks away. Cut to Sarah opening the door to find Ben on the other side*.)

**Sarah:** Can I help you?

**Ben:** Oh, hey. Nice, uh... camera. Um, I'm going door to door handing out literature on this exciting new candidate running for Congress. Edward Salinas. (*The camera pans down to show the back of Ben's clipboard covered in Salinas stickers*.)

**Sarah:** Uh huh.

**Ben:** Have you heard of him?

**Sarah:** Guys?

(*Sarah pans back to everyone standing behind her, looking surprised. Cut to Daniel in his room*.)

**Daniel:** So Sarah and Carlos, The Naked Sombrero, they're back. And, as you can see, Salinas isn't going anywhere any time soon. But what worries me the most is this: are we any safer here than when we were out on the road? I don't know. There's just so much we don't know. Salinas, Lord Carruthers, Elizabeth Avery... Are they connected? We go down one path only to wind up on another.

You know, connecting the dots won't be that easy this time. But that's why we're back. We're ready to fight.

## Notes
