:00:30
I'm out in the prime cut
of the big green.
:00:32
Behind me is Ed and Rowdy, members
of an up-and-coming subadult gang.
:00:37
They're challenging everything, including me.
Goes with the territory.
:00:40
If I show weakness,
if I retreat,
:00:44
I may be hurt,
I may be killed.
:00:46
I must hold my own
if I'm gonna stay within this land.
:00:50
For once there is weakness,
they will exploit it, they will take me out,
:00:53
they will decapitate me,
they will chop me into bits and pieces.
:00:56
I'm dead.
:00:59
But so far, I persevere.
:01:03
Persevere.
:01:06
Most times
I'm a kind warrior out here.
:01:09
Most times, I am gentle,
I am like a flower,
:01:13
I'm like... I'm like
a fly on the wall,
:01:17
observing, noncommittal,
noninvasive in any way.
:01:21
Occasionally I am challenged.
And in that case,
:01:24
the kind warrior must,
must, must become a samurai.
:01:27
Must become so,
:01:30
so formidable,
:01:33
so fearless of death,
:01:36
so strong
:01:39
that he will win, he will win.
:01:41
Even the bears will believe
that you are more powerful.
:01:45
And in a sense
you must be more powerful
:01:49
if you are to survive in this land
with the bear.
:01:53
No one knew that.
No one ever friggin' knew
:01:57
that there are times when my life
is on the precipice of death
