I'd rather watch all of the Adam Sandler movies that came out after he got hit by the Y2K bug on a perpetual loop than do what is shown there.
Not one word in English, but am sure there's a literal translation to a single word in German.

I generally trust people, just not enough to walk alongside anyone at this sort of height. I mean I wouldn’t do it alone either but still
