139
00:
08:06,432 -- 00:08:07,899Two weeks.
140
00:
08:08,902 -- 00:08:11,200lt must be scary
what you do.
141
00:
08:12,338 -- 00:08:16,069Boring mostly. You know,
long stretches of boring.
142
00:
08:16,242 -- 00:08:18,802Occasional flashes
of scary.
143
00:
08:18,978 -- 00:08:20,843Full moon tonight.
144
00:
08:24,884 -- 00:08:28,217Do you ever notice
how big the moon is
when it's rising?
145
00:
08:29,522 -- 00:08:32,787And how little it gets
when it's up in the sky.
146
00:
08:33,459 -- 00:08:35,950JOHN:
You know, that's just
your perspective.
147
00:
08:36,129 -- 00:08:39,155lt actually doesn't matter
where it is in the sky or
where you are in the world
148
00:
08:39,332 -- 00:08:42,392if you hold your hand up
and close one of your eyes.
149
00:
08:43,469 -- 00:08:45,369lt's never bigger
than your thumb.
150
00:
08:45,538 -- 00:08:47,062[CHUCKLES]
151
00:
08:51,077 -- 00:08:52,874SAVANNAH:
Where'd you learn that?
152
00:
08:53,046 -- 00:08:54,570JOHN:
l don't know.
153
00:
08:55,348 -- 00:08:56,838Somewhere.
154
00:
08:59,519 -- 00:09:00,952JOHN:
Yeah.
155
00:
09:02,522 -- 00:09:03,546SAVANNAH:
Wow.
156
00:
09:04,657 -- 00:09:07,524You just-- You just
made your own fire.
157
00:
09:08,695 -- 00:09:10,959That's very impressive.
158
00:
09:11,564 -- 00:09:12,690Very primal.
159
00:
09:15,535 -- 00:09:18,834But you're still not
gonna be able to cook
that hotdog, l fear.
160
00:
09:19,005 -- 00:09:20,836l fear that as well.
161
00:
09:22,308 -- 00:09:24,572l should probably
162
00:
09:25,011 -- 00:09:29,607l'm sorry. l hope you
don't get into, um,
too much trouble.
163
00:
09:29,782 -- 00:09:32,080l think it's probably
too late for that.
164
00:
09:32,919 -- 00:09:34,181Yeah.
165
00:
09:35,488 -- 00:09:37,115Thank you.

170
00:
09:48,968 -- 00:09:50,265l don't think you're
gonna wanna try it.
171
00:
09:50,436 -- 00:09:53,872Yeah, l was kind of hoping
maybe we'd let somebody
else do the cooking.
172
00:
09:54,040 -- 00:09:55,667Type of thing.
173
00:
