Elliott: And then what happens to Kiefer? Stuart: He gets smashed by a rock or something, I think. Elliott: And then? Stuart: Then he, like, wakes up. Elliott: The twist ending, the twist ending... Stuart: No, he wakes up and he's walking around. Elliott: He's walking around and? Stuart: Uh... Dan: Stuart, did you notice anything strange about the words after he woke up? Stuart: Well, I mean, uh, it looked like everything was backwards but I thought I'd just been drinking a lot. Elliott: No, everything was backwards 'cause now he's trapped in the mirrors. Stuart: Wait...what? Elliott: For some reason! Dan: Whoaaaaaa..! Stuart: C'mon. Elliott: Nope, and then cut to credits– Dan: Stu– Stuart: (indignantly) What? Elliot: That's it. Stuart: C'mon.
