John, if you were to go to Disney World, not with the children-
241:19
You didn't, you didn't, you weren't sick inside of the, inside of a costume, and having to bring a rich uncle [laughs] to, to, to get a job.
241:30
On somebody's last day at, on the job, they were just like, "You know, screw it.
241:34

241:42
Like, I don't know.
241:42
I guess if you're, like, Darth Vader, you know, like, wouldn't, w- like, I imagine kids ask, like, "What, what, how did you come back?" You know? "How did you, how did you do th- I thought you were, like, a good guy now.
