and I felt it many years before that,
many years before that.

:54:05
Why'd you stop?
:54:08
I think, obviously,
there's gotta be some fear...

:54:10
like if you actually go ahead
and do it and complete it...

:54:13
there's more consequences to it.
:54:17
You let a day go by and fantasize,
and that day slips into years.

:54:21
Suddenly you're in this living room
watching something from six years ago.

:54:25
That shot does look good.
Right there.

:54:28
Down the aisle.
Be right back.

:54:38
And don't stop till I say cut.
Roll it.

:54:46
- Now you are off.
- Cut. What? Now what?

:54:49
You can hardly see your mouth anymore.
:54:53
I cannot be dead-center
in the frame.

:54:57
In front of my sight of vision...
:54:59
that should occupy more of the frame
than the back of my head.

:55:03
Okay, Ma, just tell me
how it looks.

:55:14
You were down when you do this.
:55:16
- I'm trying to get outta frame there.
- Yeah.

:55:19
Keep the camera rolling.
Did you just turn off the camera?

:55:23
Cut.
:55:25
- Am I framed up?
- Yeah.

:55:27
Oh, now I see
there's a frame there.

:55:30
Oh, no!
What are you talking about, Ma?

:55:33
Okay, just never mind, man.
:55:35
Okay, just-- The camera's rolling,
sound is rolling.

:55:38
- Is that--
- I see a frame inside here.

:55:40
Yeah, it's the TV frame.
That's the frame we're trying to--

:55:44
You should be higher up,
much higher up.

:55:47
Your face is--
Yeah, more above you.

:55:52
Where am I at now, Ma,
with all of this film burning?

:55:55
- Yeah, that's okay.
- Okay, ready?

:55:57
Absolute quiet, please.
