:56:01
Your favorite "Charlie's Angel"
was Farrah.

:56:04
You wore Adidas sweatsuits
and Puma sneakers.

:56:06
You smoked Marlboros
by twelve...

:56:07
you wanted to look like Travolta
and act like Serpico.

:56:16
I wanted to go on excavations
to find lost cities...

:56:19
that's for
geeks and weirdoes.

:56:24
I was afraid to tell Kate Jackson
was my favorite "Charlie's Angel".

:56:31
I don't think people
would have cared.

:56:33
Well, maybe not in Jasper,
but in my neighborhood...

:56:37
you got to a certain age, when you
see that Missus Zito's backyard...

:56:40
wasn't fucking Cairo.
:56:43
Missus Zito?
:56:49
I used to stuff
my knapsack with...

:56:54
shovels and notebooks and I'd go
wherever there was some dirt.

:56:58
And I go to parks and playgrounds
and I go to backyards.

:57:03
I'd just start digging.
:57:07
I'd pretend it was Egypt, Asia,
the middle of South America.

:57:16
I filled up notebooks
with diagrams...

:57:18
of where I'd been
and what I'd found.

:57:21
It was all junk.
:57:25
It was just chicken bones,
pieces of broken cups.

:57:30
But I would treat those things
like precious artifacts.

:57:35
I'd treat them like they were
bones from some prehistoric bird.

:57:41
And you grow up...
:57:45
you get older.
You understand life better.

:57:50
You see things and people
for what they are.

:57:55
And you realize those bones
are chicken bones.

:57:59
Just leftovers
from someone's lunch.
