Keener, with feeling: It's incredible.

Aniston, with less feeling: Amazing.

Keener: Such a metaphor for life. Do you know anything about it? They climb the back side of this mountain. And they achieve it, but one partner falls and they are tethered together. They fall into a crevasse. Thirty feet. He sees daylight. But there's absolutely no way to climb up. So he spends a couple days there. His only choice is to go further into the void. He's got to go down. He's got to go deeper.

Reporter, not realizing maybe Keener is talking about life and love, free-associates: Like that kid who sawed his arm off?

Keener: Oh, yes!

Aniston: I love that kid.

This would be climber Aron Ralston, author of "Between a Rock and a Hard Place," who, trapped in a remote Utah canyon, had to amputate his own right forearm.

Aniston: It blows me away.

Reporter: I couldn't do it.

Aniston: Saw your arm off?

Keener: That's the void! In order to live, I have to saw my arm off. In order to live, I have to go deeper in.

Aniston: You don't even know. You don't know what you'd do until you found yourself in that situation.
