right before the storm.

You think that's funny?

Alright. How about Los Angeles?

Hey, listen to me, do never ever say

little mountain town called Ojai.

I get there and it's like.. fruit farms.

Vineyards...

And there is this mountain surrounding it

you know like protecting the town.

And the people there...

like everybody smiles at each other.

They say hello... it's like

I remember thinking they were all like..

I don't know.

They had these looks in their eyes

Like they ran on some sort of secret

like they had all figured it out.

There is this mission, the Spanish mission

right there in the middle of the town.

They are having Christmas mass.

They're celebrating Christmas.

70 degrees where you know..

I just land there pick me

an orange of the tree...

... and sat down on a bench, to listen that

choir singing, eating my orange.

You know that was the best Christmas

I've ever had.

You wanna live there?

Okay.

Let's go live in Ojai.

- Okay.

- Yeah?

What time is it?

staying in town tonight?
