Catch Hell Page #5

---

and then miraculously,

fisherman actually see you

or they hear you?

It's hard for me

to remember exactly

what transpired

during the rescue.

I know that they told me

that I was, uh, yelling...

Incoherently when

they heard me,

and then by the time

they got out to the boat

I was in

that I was dead weight.

I was just out.

I was taken

to the hospital,

and the doctor there told me

that if I had arrived

even two hours later than I did,

I would have been in a coma

or dead.

Let's go back.

In those quiet hours,

in those days

that were long and terrifying,

what did you think about

the most?

It became clear to me

in a life sense

how I could have been

a better person

up until this point,

and I would say

to myself repeatedly

that if I were lucky enough

to survive this,

that I would be.

I'd be a better human being.

And that an awareness

of some kind, uh...

That led me to believe

that maybe, um,

some of my choices and actions

had led me to this point,

or were in some way responsible

for the situation I was in.

That's a big admission.

And I thought about my mom

a lot.

How has this change manifested

in your life so far?

Just a taste

Just a taste

Just a taste

Hello?

Hey, Pearce.

How you feeling?

Good, man.

Just resting,

getting my strength back.

I got my tooth fixed.

Oh, good.

Well, listen.

We need to talk about

a couple of things.

Yeah?

Yeah, your 20/20 interview

was the most-watched show

Thursday night.

Your interview had more viewers

than the

Lance Armstrong confession.

I've been getting calls

about it non-stop.

People can't get enough

of this story.

And you know how crazy

this business is;

you got the offer on the

Cameron movie this morning.

I thought you said

it was cast.

You said they were

going younger.

Yeah, well,

all I can tell you is that

when the overnights

on 20/20 came in,

you got a lot younger.

This is the game-changer

we've been talking about.

It's crazy.

It's a crazy business, man.

Everybody wants a meeting.

It's your choice

if you want to sit it out

or you want to go for it.

But they will move on

to something else.

That's how this goes,

and I know you, Reagan.

And I will say this:

ill-gotten gains

can be made good.

It just depends on what you do

once they're received.

That a girl.

Let's go.

How'd I arrive

in a place like this

Red right hand

as the alligator kiss

Head turns white

and my face is green

But my feet are still moving

if you know what I mean

Dancing, dancing

dancing, dancing

Dancing

He says to me

to shake around

And don't stop

till you hit the ground

And I know that it's not

how you thought it would be

No whips no chains

just dancing, dancing, dancing

Dancing, dancing

dancing, dancing

Satan, Satan

Satan, Satan, Satan

Satan, Satan

Said dance, all right
