:07:06
-That's great. So, has this trip, around Europe,
been good for you?
-Yeah, sure, yeah,

:07:11
-it's been, umm... it sucked. Y'know...
-What?

:07:14
No, uh, it's had its, umm. Well, I'll tell you,
y'know, sitting,

:07:18
y'know, for weeks on end, looking out the window
has actually been kinda great.

:07:24
What do you mean?
:07:26
Well, you know, for instance, you have ideas
that you ordinarily wouldn't have.

:07:31
-What kind of ideas?
-You want to hear one?

:07:33
-Yeah, tell me.
-Alright, uh,

:07:36
I had this idea, okay?
:07:38
For a television show. Some friends of mine
are these cable access producers, do you know
what that is, cable access?

:07:45
I don't know, I dunno... Anybody can produce a show
real cheap, and they have to put it on. Right?

:07:48
And I have this idea for this show that would
last 24 hours a day for a year straight, right?

:07:54
What you do, is you get 365 people from cities
all over the world,

:07:59
to do these 24 hour documents of real time, right,
capturing life as its lived.

:08:04
Um, you know, it would start with uh, a guy
waking up in the morning, and, uh, y'know,
taking the long shower,

:08:11
eating a little breakfast, making a little
coffee, you know, and, uh, reading the paper.

:08:16
Wait, wait. All those mundane, boring things
everybody has to do everyday of their fucking life?

:08:21
-I was going to say the poetry of day to day
life, but you know, you say the way you say
it, I'll say it the way I say it...

:08:25
... No listen, think about it like this...
-Who's gonna want to watch this?

:08:29
Well, alright, think about it like this. Why is it,
that a dog, y'know, sleeping in the sun, is so beautiful,
y'know, it is, its beautiful, y'know,

:08:34
but a guy, standing at a bank machine, trying to take some
money out, looks like a complete moron?

:08:39
-So, its like a National Geographic program, but on people?
-Yeah!

:08:45
What do you think?
:08:48
Yeah, I can, I can, I can see it. Like twenty four boring hours,
sorry, and like a three minute sex scene,

:08:51
where he falls asleep right after, no?
:08:56
Yeah, y'know I mean, and... I mean, that would be a great episode.
-Yeah.

:08:58
People would talk about that episode.
