- And the hand you

held to get there.

- [MARTY] Midway

wants us to invest.

Investing is taking

charge of your life.

And I've learned if you don't

take charge of your life,

somebody else will.

Could be your boss, your lover,

even your mother.

We unknowingly take responsibility

for everyone's happiness

but our own.

We're gonna show

challenging your assumptions

is the Midway.

In a laboratory, three blue-collared

monkeys sit in a cage

with a staircase inside.

A scientist places a

banana on the top step.

The first monkey darts up

the steps to snatch it.

Right before he can

grab the banana,

a scientist stops him by

spraying all three monkeys

with ice cold water.

Now, the second monkey

takes his chances.

He goes for the banana,

but the other monkeys,

they force him back,

not wanting another ice bath.

Now the scientist lifts

monkey one out of the cage

and replaces him with a new

chimp wearing a red collar.

He spots that yummy banana

and he heads up the steps,

but the other two

monkeys grab his butt

and refuse to let him go up.

Now the science nerds

take out the second monkey

and put in a chimp also

strapped with a red collar.

This poor little guy.

He heads to the steps, but

the other two beat him back.

Now those science guys take

out the original third monkey

and replace him with one

wearing another red collar.

This newest chimp,

feeling like a bite,

he goes for the banana steps.

But wouldn't you know

it, the other two,

they beat his ass down.

This victimized little

chimp, he turns to the others

and says "What was

that all about?"

The other monkey answers

"That's just the way

life's always

been around here."

Words appear.

Monkey see, monkey do?

Make your fate.

Just you.

Midway Investments.

- Nice job, Marty.

Good going.

( CALM MUSIC)

I want to learn the world

It's not the same anymore

We can be friends

I love you, I can't pretend

I can finally start again

You make my heart mend

It was you

It was you and

now I'm a fool

It was you, it was you

It was you and

now I'm a fool

It was you, it was you

It was you and

now I'm a fool

It was you

It was you and

now I'm a fool

It was you, it was you
