I asked Dr. Caudillo about the milk,
in case I wanted to nurse the baby.

:52:05
But I certainly don't. Just asking.
:52:08
He said I didn't have to.
Wouldn't do any good, he said.

:52:11
He said, "Cows don't drink milk, do they?"
:52:15
I don't quite understand.
:52:17
Cows don't drink milk,
but they eat grass, and they produce milk.

:52:21
He wants you to eat grass?
:52:23
No. The cows eat the grass.
:52:25
He just wants me to drink the milk
if I want to. I don't have to.

:52:42
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen...
:52:43
welcome aboard
the Palm Springs aerial tramway.

:52:46
We're traveling at a speed
of 1,600 feet a minute.

:52:49
The valley station's
at an elevation of 2,643 feet.

:52:53
The upper station: 8,516 feet.
:52:57
Total distance: Two and a half miles.
:52:59
We pass over five steel towers.
:53:02
The tallest was the first.
:53:04
It's 214 feet high.
:53:06
It's the only tower with access by road.
:53:09
The other four towers...
:53:10
Do they check these things regularly?
:53:13
I'm trying to recall where it was
that one of these contraptions broke loose.

:53:17
Austria or someplace.
:53:20
Jungfrau, perhaps 8 or 10 years ago.
:53:23
I don't believe
they ever put their finger on the cause.

:53:26
Overloaded, metal fatigue, or just what.
:53:28
Are there any questions?
:53:31
As I remember, they didn't even recover
all the bodies, did they?

:53:35
What?
:53:36
It was too deep down below.
:53:38
They tried with helicopters,
but winds were too strong.

:53:40
Regular blizzard.
Had to give up. Too dangerous.

:53:43
Still there, I suppose.
:53:50
The truth is, Mr. Kotcher,
this is my regular day off, all right.

:53:54
I've been meaning to do this.
It's one of the things you do here.

:53:57
They're all days off now.
