00:00 Simplicity is when you fix complexity.
00:02 Simplicity is not something you start with.
00:05 It is the goal.
00:08 The finish line.
00:10 I wake up.
00:13 I take 100 milligrams of Zoloft.
00:15 I toast some bread.
00:16 I take two Alka-Seltzers.
00:18 I blend half a carrot, a beet, celery stick,
00:20 and some protein powder
00:21 so I don't have to bother eating anything.
00:23 2,750 feet away from my house is a coffee shop.
00:29 I have my first espresso there.
00:32 I'm hanging out with people.
00:33 I buy some weed.
00:35 By the time I'm back home,
00:37 I am completely stoned.
00:40 You need to get out once in a while, my friend.
00:44 What do you want me to do?
00:45 Do something fun once in a while?
00:47 Date someone?
00:48 I'm Ariel, by the way.
00:53 You check the mail a lot.
00:56 Especially the second Wednesday of every month.

01:02 There's more money in the Nevada desert
01:08 than there is in banks.
01:10 I'm talking about cash.
01:12 Tomorrow, I'm gonna leave all this behind me.
01:16 I wanna run away anywhere,
01:20 and I mean anywhere with you.
01:22 Anywhere sounds like a long enough drive
01:27 for you to learn a little something about me.
