There are more than 30,000 kinds
of orchids in the world.

:32:03
- Wow, that's a lot, huh?
- Yeah. Yeah.

:32:06
Yeah.
:32:07
So I'll be right back with an extra-large
slice of key lime pie for my orchid expert.

:32:13
But... So anyway,
I was also wondering...

:32:17
I'm going up to Santa Barbara this
Saturday for an orchid show, and I...

:32:24
- I'm sorry.
- Well...

:32:26
- I apologize. I'm sorry.

There are more than 30,000

So I got married,
and me and my beautiful new wife...

:33:22
...my now ex-wife, the bitch...
:33:26
...opened up a nursery.
:33:28
People started coming out
of the woodwork to ask me stuff...

:33:31
...and admire my plants
and admire me.

:33:37
I think some people were really spending
time with me because they were lonely.

:33:47
And you know why I like plants?
:33:52
Because they're so mutable.
