00:16 >> Everybody wanted to feel a part of that in the beginning.
00:19 They wanted to feel simple and innocent.

00:40 >> I think there was some surprise at the scope.
00:44 >> This is yours.
00:45 >> All right. It's great. Thank you.
00:47 >> The chase was fun.
00:49 It was like having a 24-hour a day scavenger hunt.
00:52 >> I'm going to get in. I'm going to get in on that.

01:26 >> It's a real pretty piece.
01:28 >> Like, come on. This is a kid's toy. Stand down.
01:32 >> They're rolling on this, right?
01:33 >> All the good and evil in the world going around in one circle.
01:38 >> Play the cards wrong, you lose.
01:42 >> We have a choice.
01:44 Are you going to stand up and fight,
01:46 or are you going to be the victim?

01:59 >> You're going to have fun on this journey. Let's go.
