:05:00
..at the Mutual Benefit building
on Wilshire, in the Miracle Mile.
:05:05
l love that name - the Miracle Mile.
:05:08
lt's the building across the street
from the county art museum,
:05:12
l was thinking about the meeting l was
going to, l was worried about it, actually,
:05:17
l started to step off the kerb,
:05:22
A stranger grabbed me and yanked me back
as a city bus went flying by my nose,
:05:26
l mean, it just fiilled up the world
six inches from my nose,
:05:30
l would have been like
a wet bug stain on the bus,
:05:33
l wouldn't have even felt it,
it would have been over so fast,
:05:37
l thanked this stranger,
this woman in a baseball cap,,,,
:05:41
,,but l was pretty much in a daze,
:05:44
When l thanked her, she said ''My pleasure,''
:05:47
l didn't notice till the last moment that
the cap was from the Pittsburgh Pirates,,,,
:05:51
- ,,my favourite team since l was a kid,
- Roberto Clemente, huh?
:05:55
Right. l never got over the idea that
l should have thanked that woman more,...
:06:00
..talked to her a while, something.
:06:02
She reached out and yanked me back
from the edge, literally.
:06:06
Changed everything for me,
and for my wife and my son,...
:06:10
..and then she just wandered off
down the Miracle Mile.
:06:13
How come she was wearing a Pirates cap?
:06:16
lt's not usual at 9am on Wilshire Boulevard,
a woman in a Pittsburgh Pirates cap.
:06:20
- lt's a little suspicious.
- You lost me.
:06:24
l just wondered, later on,...
:06:26
..was she for real, you know?
:06:29
Was that a real person or was that something
else, you know, sent from somewhere else,...
:06:35
..to grab me back from that kerb?
:06:37
ls that what you're wondering about me?
:06:40
l just... couldn't let it happen again.
:06:43
l didn't wannajust let you drift away
like she did and never talk to you. ltjust...
:06:47
..didn't seem right to let it happen twice.
So that's why l'm bothering you.
:06:52
You're not bothering me.
You're buying me breakfast.
:06:54
Good.
:06:57
You got a right to try to figure out
what confuses you,...
