Any nobody's come up with anything.
1:00:19
I saw a documentary on that. It's a birth dance.
1:00:21
A birth dance.
1:00:23
Yeah.
1:00:51
Should I give her some money?
1:00:51
Yeah.
1:00:52
Everything that's interesting costs a little bit of money. I'm telling you.
1:00:57
So, birth dance, huh? Looked a little bit like a mating dance to me.
1:01:01
No, but really. Women used this when giving birth.
In some parts of the world, they still do it.

1:01:07
Yeah?
1:01:07
Yeah. The woman in labour enters a tent, and the women
of her tribe surround her, and dance,

1:01:13
and they encourage the birthing woman to dance with them as...
so as to make the birth less painful.

1:01:17
Yeah...
1:01:18
When the baby is born, they all dance in celebration.
1:01:20
Wow. I don't think my mom would've gone for that.
1:01:25
I like the idea of dancing as a common function in life,
something everybody participates in.

1:01:29
Yeah, I know. I heard about this old guy, who was watching some young people dance.
1:01:34
And he said, how beautiful. They're trying to shake off their genitals, and become angels.
1:01:39
I like that
1:01:40
Alright. One question, though, back there.
When the women are dancing, and being all spiritual, and stuff, right?

1:01:45
Where are the men?
1:01:46
Are we out food-gathering? Are we not invited? Y'all don't need us? What?
1:01:51
Men are lucky we don't bite off their head after mating.
Certain insects do that, you know, like spiders, and stuff.

1:01:57
We, at least, let you live. What are you complaining about?
1:01:59
Yes. See, you're officially kidding, but there's something to that,
you know. You keep bringing stuff like that up.
