:52:00
But now, especially seeing
:52:03
everything
that Bob and Sheree have done,

:52:05
now I'm looking more towards--
I want to go into journalism.

:52:08
And I want to write--
:52:11
not just about CF,
but I want definitely to get more known.

:52:15
Death's never bothered me, really.
:52:18
There will be days
I'm always thinking about it.

:52:21
And then I can go on and on
and never think about it.

:52:24
But despite what everybody says,
I know it's gonna kill me.

:52:28
Everyone says,
"Well, you could die in a car accident."

:52:30
Yeah, but you don't think
about that every day.

:52:32
This is my life.
This will kill me eventually.

:52:35
And I know that.
A lot of people think it's morbid,

:52:37
but I deal with it.
It's no big deal to me.

:52:39
It doesn't depress me.
That's what I'm here for.

:52:42
I'm here,
I live to show people what's going on,

:52:46
and then showing them
that my life is about death.

:52:50
And, I guess, to reverse it,
:52:52
my death will be about life as well,
:52:54
because of how I'm dying.
:52:58
Pretty self-assured for 17.
:53:03
Not awkward or self-conscious--
just a lovely child.

:53:07
Definitely.
:53:09
I'm a little disappointed
that she's so nice, you know?

:53:13
No, no. Just kidding!
:53:16
She dressed particularly for me--
:53:19
the collar and the boots.
:53:21
Cut that.
:53:23
She bought me a riding crop.
:53:25
That's what I'm saying.
:53:26
He's making it out
like I think this is something--

:53:28
I'm not saying you think anything.
:53:30
I'm saying don't think about it.
:53:32
I don't think
that she wants to do anything sexual

:53:36
behind the riding crop.
She knows I'm into that.

:53:38
I think if she has these fantasies,
:53:39
it might be fun
to fulfill her fantasies.

:53:41
You're saying--
when you say, Sheree--

:53:44
"If she has these fantasies--"
that's an assumption.

:53:47
- I started with "if."
- Yeah, that's an assum-

:53:49
I'm not saying
I know she has these fantasies.

:53:52
I'm saying if she does,
it would be nice to fulfill them.

:53:56
I don't know--
:53:58
I wasn't thinking about intercourse.
