00:06 was like, hell no.

00:43 These are my greatest fears.
00:44 Inspired a passion to me to do whatever I can,
00:47 even if I never go home, to be the best me I can be
00:50 and have some kind of positive contribution to society.
00:55 - She's like, marry me, I was like, marry me?
00:57 I'm probably never coming home.
01:00 - I can understand the laws of the laws,
01:03 but I have the right to be mad at my dad.

01:10 'cause I share my feelings.
01:11 What kind of grown man share his?
01:13 To his son.

01:28 - 21 and a half!

01:40 - May the force be with you.
01:41 - Okay, we're going in.
01:44 Three, two, one, go.

01:49 - It's a community now.
01:50 If you can't live in a community in here,
01:51 you can't live in a community in the world.
01:53 If you can't live in a community in here,
01:54 you can't live in a community out there.
01:57 Why should they let me out?
01:58 Because I've changed.
