One looks like a turtle.
:33:05
One looks like a monkey.
:33:08
One looks like an onion.
:33:10
One looks like a schoolteacher.
:33:12
One looks like a gymnast.
:33:14
One looks like that girl in high school
with creamy skin.

:33:18
One looks like a New York
intellectual...

:33:20
...with whom you do the Sunday
Times crossword puzzle in bed.

:33:23
One looks like a Midwestern
beauty queen.

:33:25
One looks like Amelia.
:33:28
One has eyes that dance.
:33:30
One has eyes that contain
the sadness of the world.

:33:38
So I got married,
and me and my beautiful new wife...

:33:41
...my now ex-wife, the bitch...
:33:45
...opened up a nursery.
:33:47
People started coming out
of the woodwork to ask me stuff...

:33:50
...and admire my plants
and admire me.

:33:56
I think some people were really spending
time with me because they were lonely.

:34:06
And you know why I like plants?
:34:11

Adaptation's a profound process.

:34:20
...figure out how to thrive in the world.
:34:28
Yeah, but it's easier for plants.
I mean...

:34:31
...they have no memory.
:34:33
You know, they just move on to
whatever's next. But a person, now...

:34:39
...adapting's almost shameful.
I mean, it's like...

:34:42
...running away.
