00:00 I'm Mildred and I'm commonly referred to as a bookworm.
00:05 I'm top of my class.
00:07 Straight A's all the way.
00:08 School is like heaven for me academically and socially.
00:12 I'm borderline obsessed to tell the truth.
00:14 I like hunting.
00:16 Fishing.
00:18 Look at this great big burger!
00:19 You know, stuff of adventures.
00:22 You don't talk like a normal child.
00:25 I know.
00:28 Hello. Mildred, it's me, your dad.
00:31 I just flew halfway across the world to be with you, little lady.
00:34 Great.
00:36 Sorry for the whole absent father thing.
00:40 What's this?
00:42 This is the Canterbury Panther.
00:44 No one's ever caught definitive proof.
00:46 I could take you.
00:48 We leave at first light.
00:50 Hey, stick with me. You'll be fine.
00:57 You know where you're going, right?
00:58 So, what does the average day for an illusionist look like?
01:03 I do appearances.
01:04 Wow.
01:05 You think it's easy making a hundred balloon animals for Vin Diesel's kids?
01:08 What the hell is a Vin Diesel?
01:10 I heard a creepy sound.
01:22 Really? You're 42, Dad?
01:24 What did I ever do to you?
01:25 Most daughters see their dads more than once a decade.
01:29 Mildred, it's alright to be scared.
01:34 I'll look after you.
01:35 Go, go, go!
01:36 You can't do it!
01:37 Yes, you can!
01:38 Nice kitty!
01:41 Okay, that's officially the craziest thing I've ever seen.
01:44 I know. I'm pretty tranced, too.
01:47 So, can I make one thing perfectly clear?
01:51 What's that?
01:52 This tent is a fart-free zone. Clear?
01:55 Clear.
01:56 Good.
01:57 I'm so sorry.
02:01 Christ.
02:03 This tent is a fart-free zone. Clear?
02:06 Clear.
